Although Lao Bai woke up, Xiao Liu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment. Was this Lao Bai's self-destruction?
"Zhantang, you finally woke up. Did you just have a nightmare?" Seeing Lao Bai wake up, the shopkeeper was immediately concerned.
Lao Bai had just woken up from a nightmare and was still a little frightened. He had not yet fully recovered. When he heard the shopkeeper's words, he forced a smile and said:
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
Seeing Lao Bai like this, everyone knew that Lao Bai had indeed had a nightmare just now, but fortunately it was just a dream, and everyone had it too.
"Zhantang, Xiaoliu wants to see you for something." The shopkeeper gestured to Lao Bai.
Just as Xiao Liu was about to speak, Murong Yan pulled him and interrupted: "Shopkeeper, can you prepare a room for me?"
"Okay, who is this?" When she heard that business came to the door, the shopkeeper responded without thinking. However, seeing the intimate behavior of Murong Yan and Xiao Liu, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm his cousin." Xiao Liu was about to introduce her, but Murong Yan, who was still holding his arm, said it first.
"Yeah!" After hearing Murong Yan's words, not only everyone in the inn, but even Xiaoliu was shocked.
Xiao Liu looked back at Murong Yan in disbelief, but Murong Yan blinked at him repeatedly.
Although Xiao Liu didn't know what kind of medicine Murong Yan wanted to sell in the gourd, she thought about it and nodded to everyone:
"Yes, she is my distant cousin."
Seeing Xiao Liu nodding, everyone in the inn did not doubt that he was there, but Xiao Guo felt that something was not right.
At this time, Lao Bai had just woken up from a nightmare. He was a little frightened when he saw Xiao Liu's clothes. He still had time to think about other things. Now he wished he could stay away from Xiao Liu.
"Xiao Guo, help Xiao Liu and his cousin prepare a guest room." The shopkeeper also saw that Lao Bai was not in a good state, so he left the matter of preparing a room for the guests to Xiao Guo.
When Xiao Guo heard this, he looked at Murong Yan and Xiao Liu carefully. Xiao Liu and Murong Yan both had excellent psychological qualities. They looked at each other with Xiao Guo.
Xiao Guo took a look and didn't see any flaws. In the end, he just shook the rag in his hand with some depression and said, "Follow me."
With that said, Xiao Guo took the lead and walked upstairs.
Xiaoliu was about to sit down and warn Lao Bai and others, but was directly pulled up by Murong Yan.
"Cousin, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Cousin, I have a lot of things to talk to you about." Murong Yan couldn't help but pull Xiao Liu upstairs.
Seeing the cousins Xiaoliu and Murong Yan going upstairs, the shopkeeper felt a little strange, and she whispered to Lao Bai:
"What's going on? Didn't Lao Xing say that he is the only one left in Xiaoliu's family? How come another cousin appears?"
"Everyone said they were distant relatives. It's normal for Lao Xing not to know." Lao Baihun answered nonchalantly.
The shopkeeper also nodded when he heard this.
On the second floor, Xiao Guo brought Murong Yan and Xiao Liu to the guest room.
After looking at the guest room, Murong Yan quickly politely invited Xiao Guo out.
Xiao Guo glanced suspiciously at Xiao Liu, who was sitting in the room calmly drinking tea, and walked out full of doubts.
Seeing Xiao Guo closing the door, and only himself and Murong Yan were left in the room, Xiao Liu, who was very puzzled, asked: "Murong..."
However, Xiao Liu's words were cut off by Murong Yan's boos as soon as he opened his mouth. Murong Yan quietly came to the door and opened it.
Sure enough, Xiao Guo was still outside, and looking at her attentively, she seemed to be planning to eavesdrop.
Seeing that she had been discovered, Xiao Guo smiled awkwardly, and then she explained even more awkwardly:
"Haha, I just wanted to come back and ask if I need to prepare bath water for you?"
"Ahem!" Xiao Liu, who was drinking tea, almost choked on Xiao Guo's words.
"I think there's no need for it." Xiao Guo also smiled sarcastically and hurried away in confusion.
Murong Yan tried a few more times, and after finally confirming that no one was eavesdropping, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table opposite Xiaoliu.
"Tell me, Miss Murong, what is your purpose?" Xiao Liu didn't mince words, put down the tea cup in his hand, and asked straight to the point.
When Murong Yan heard this, she took out a secret order from her package and handed it to Xiao Liu.
After Xiao Liu read the secret order, he looked at Murong Yan with some surprise.
"Are you from Six Doors?"
"That's wrong, it's just a trial now, and it must pass the assessment before it becomes official." Murong Yan explained.
Xiao Liu nodded when he heard this and said: "So you are not only a special writer for Jianghu Monthly, but also a probationary agent for Liumen."
"That's right!" Murong Yan nodded.
"Then what's your purpose of pretending to be my cousin?" Although Xiaoliu knew it, he still had to ask.
When Murong Yan saw that Xiao Liu had reached the key point in his question, she also waved to Xiao Liu and told him to come over.
Xiao Liu leaned over and Murong Yan whispered to him:
"My mission this time is to capture the legendary thief Bai Yutang. Only by capturing him can I officially enter the six doors. Now I suspect that he is hiding in this inn."
"So you plan to use my cousin's identity to investigate secretly?" Xiao Liu asked.
"That's right!" Murong Yan responded.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and asked doubtfully:
"Then why are you telling me such a confidential matter? Are you not afraid that I am from this inn?"
"No, because I know you have only been here less than two months." Murong Yan said with great conviction.
"Well, you investigated me." Xiao Liu asked with some confusion.
"You are very famous in Qixia Town. I heard what the two government officials at the door said when you were reviewing the case." Murong Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Liu shook his head helplessly when he heard this. Sure enough, it's not good to be too popular. Others almost don't need to investigate you. You can know most of it just by listening to other people's discussions on the street.
"How about it? You have good skills. As long as you and I work together, we will definitely be able to capture this White Jade Soup. At that time, half of the credit will be given to you. At that time, I will pass the assessment and officially enter the Six Gates, and you can also rely on this credit to directly enter the Six Gates. Promoted to six doors." Murong Yan tempted.
Hearing this, Xiao Liu pondered for a moment and said, "It's quite tempting, but are you sure this Thief Saint is in the inn?"
"Absolutely the same?" Murong Yan said with almost certainty.
Then she told Xiao Liu her analysis. Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly while listening to Murong Yan's analysis.
But the more he listened, the more curious Xiaoliu became, and he asked doubtfully:
"It's strange. With your ability, I think the higher-ups should know that you are a talented person. How could they give you such an almost impossible test? You must know that the reason why this Thief Saint is difficult to catch is not only because of his No one knows his whereabouts, more importantly because his Qinggong is very superb. The person who gave you this test question is not specifically trying to embarrass you, right?"
