Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze walked back from the counter.
Seeing Huo Ting sitting here, the two of them just took a look and then sat down.
"This tavern owner is really stubborn and won't reveal anything." Chai Yingying said helplessly, "I've never seen such a difficult old man."
Jiang Ze also looked helpless.
Huo Ting asked, "Did you want to ask him about the Witch Tavern?"
Chai Yingying nodded and looked at Gu Jiu, asking with her eyes what was going on with this handsome guy and whether she wanted to cooperate with him.
Gu Jiu smiled without saying anything and threw the empty milk carton back into his bag.
At this time, Lu Ji took out some milk candies, peeled one and fed it to his girlfriend. Seeing her open her mouth to eat it, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his pale face was as beautiful as a puppet.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Huo Ting's eyes deepened slightly.
Chai Yingying felt that these two people were simply murderous. Did Boss Lu deliberately get intimate with the eldest lady in front of his rival
She coughed lightly and told them about the process of her and Jiang Ze going to see the tavern owner. Finally, she concluded: "This old man is very stubborn. He won't say anything when asked. Every time he is asked about the witch Ella, he sneers. What does this mean?"
Jiang Ze followed up by saying, "I think he should know about Witch Ella. He is not like other residents in the town who know nothing about Witch Ella."
They could infer this from the tavern owner's reaction.
This person definitely knows Witch Ella!
Unfortunately, it's no use guessing because the other party refuses to reveal anything.
"If he wasn't an old man and I thought we should respect the old and love the young, I would have wanted to strangle him and use threats and inducements." Chai Yingying was made a little irritated by the attitude of the tavern owner.
"Sister Chai, calm down!" Jiang Ze said immediately, "Don't do anything rash, it would be bad if something happens." The Witch Tavern is a strange place. Who knows whether the owner of the tavern can do anything? If not, the players will suffer.
So be cautious.
The other players obviously thought the same, so even though they had doubts in their hearts, they did not do anything to the tavern owner.
Chai Yingying curled her lips and said, "If I don't take action, someone else will sooner or later."
As soon as these words fell, an angry voice was heard: "Old man, make your words clear and don't let us do it!"
The people in the tavern were startled and looked over to see the sound. They saw two tall and strong Western players standing in front of the counter, banging on the counter and angrily scolding the tavern owner.
The tavern owner remained indifferent. He held a soft white cloth in one hand and carefully wiped a piece of black stuff.
This action undoubtedly angered the two players. One of them slammed the counter hard. There was a sound of wood cracking, and the counter broke into pieces, scaring the group of adventurers so much that they couldn't help but shrink their heads.
Although this counter looks old, it is made of rough wood and is extremely hard. However, this hardness is not worth mentioning in the eyes of B-level players.
Things on the counter clattered to the floor.
The boss, who was wiping things, paused there, his wrinkled face drooped violently, revealing a gloomy and cold look.
He looked up suddenly, and the two players in front of the counter were startled by him.
In fact, when they smashed the counter, they controlled the force and did not let the flying wood hurt the boss. This was a tentative move, and they also wanted to see if the old man would surrender out of fright.
But the old man was not scared by this little noise.
The boss looked at the two men coldly, and when they tensed up, thinking something was going to happen, he slowly squatted down and picked up the things that had fallen on the ground.
Everyone in the pub looked over and watched the scene in silence.
The two players who took action couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed, especially when they found that nothing happened after they destroyed the counter. The old man just picked up things silently, which made them bolder.
"Old man, if you don't tell me, I will tear down your tavern." The two men threatened in a vicious tone.
The tavern owner sneered, "Tear it down if you can."
His tone and expression showed that he disdained the threats from these two people.
The next moment, the tavern owner was lifted up by a player by his clothes, his thin body dangling in the air, and two players stared at him ferociously.
Finally, some players couldn't stand it anymore.
"Groot, Tok, let him go!" Odinson said unhappily.
Groot was the tall man holding the tavern owner. He glanced at Odinson and said disdainfully, "Odinson Hemsworth, don't think we have to listen to you just because you are famous in Unbounded City. Don't talk to us like a leader!"
"That's right, we are all B-level players, no one is nobler than anyone else!" Tok said, raising his middle finger at Odinson.
Odinson had a bad expression on his face, and the three companions around him stood up and glared at the two of them.
Seeing this scene, the Eastern players looked calm on the surface, but were actually screaming in their hearts.
They thought that with Odinson's reputation among Western players, these Western players would obey his commands, but they didn't expect that someone would express his dissatisfaction and disdain for him so clearly.
Great job!
Groot and Tok didn't do anything to the tavern owner.
The two were not stupid. Although they wanted to do something, because the old man was too stubborn, threats and bribes were useless, and they wanted to beat him up. But they thought that this was a game world, and the truth of the Witch Tavern was not clear, so they were not sure what would happen if they attacked the old man, so they endured it.
They threw the old man to the ground, sneered at Odinson and the others, and turned to go upstairs.
Odinson was not angry. His expression was calm. There was no need to get angry with two unfamiliar players.
However, his companion looked unhappy and stared at the two men until they disappeared into the stairwell. Then, at Odinson's signal, he sat down reluctantly.
Mina and the others just watched from the sidelines, feeling a little sorry when they saw the two men leave.
In fact, when Groot and the other man took action, they were quite happy in their hearts. They wanted to see how far the two could go. Anyway, any consequences would be borne by those two men. They could also take this opportunity to see what the tavern owner would do. It would be best if they could find out the secrets of the tavern.
The counter was smashed into pieces, and the heavy wood fell down, making it difficult to pick up the things underneath.
Huo Ting, Chai Yingying and others went over to help the tavern owner clean the counter and pick up things on the ground.
Unfortunately, the old man didn't appreciate it.
"Don't bother. If you want to know something, just find it yourself. I won't tell you." The old man said coldly.
Chen Zhiru almost wanted to smash the block of wood in his hand towards his face.
It’s no wonder that the two Western players got angry. The old man’s behavior really tested the players’ patience. If it weren’t for the special nature of the Witch Tavern, I’m afraid the old man would have been beaten up by the players long ago.
Since becoming players, they have entered the game world. Although they have to endure the humiliation of NPCs, those NPCs are always strong. Unlike this old man, he is not the kind of ghost NPC that cannot move. He looks like an ordinary old man, not even strong enough to punch a player. There is nothing scary about him, so the players naturally don't take him too seriously.
If it weren't for the Witch Tavern, I wouldn't be able to tolerate him at all.
Huo Ting, Chai Yingying, Jiang Ze and others helped the old man pack up his things and then left.
There was no way to get anything out of him anyway, so I naturally didn't bother with it anymore.
"This old man is really infuriating." Chai Yingying sat next to Gu Jiu and whispered, "Those Western players have always been more reckless and bold. If they get angry, they might really attack him."
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, so I didn't contact him."
Chai Yingying was speechless.
The eldest daughter looked so gentle and lovely, but she had a violent temper. Even ghosts were afraid of her when she got mad! Fortunately, she knew how to control her temper and didn't lose it easily.
Huo Ting couldn't help but laugh, he knew Gu Jiu's temper.
"Ajiu, your temper remains the same." His voice was a little deeper, as if he was sighing.
The call of "Ajiu" made the two people present frown at the same time. Lu Ji pursed his lips and clasped his girlfriend's hand tightly, while Chen Zhiru felt so sour as if she had eaten a lemon.
Gu Jiu felt the sudden increase in force on her hands and tilted her head to look at her boyfriend.
"Sorry." Lu Ji quickly relaxed his strength, feeling a little embarrassed, his thick eyelashes drooped slightly, covering his dark eyes.
Gu Jiu stared at his profile with a smile on his face. He leaned half his body against him, rubbed his chin on his shoulder, stared at his beautiful earlobes, and suddenly breathed into his ear.
In an instant, Lu Ji almost turned red all over.
Especially when he felt the eyes around him, he felt shy but also an inexplicable joy.
Gu Jiu originally wanted to tease her boyfriend, but he made her feel itchy instead. So she could no longer endure it, so she pulled him up and said to Chai Yingying and the others, "Let's go upstairs to rest. You don't need to call us for dinner."
This means that they will have dinner in the room.
A group of people watched them go upstairs, their eyes vaguely falling on Huo Ting.
Huo Ting looked at the two men until their figures disappeared in the stairwell. His face was calm and no one knew what he was thinking.
It must be sad to see the girl you like being with someone else.
Chen Zhiru was happy that Gu Jiu found a girl as his lover, but she was also resentful that Huo Ting still couldn't let go of Gu Jiu at this time. Why couldn't he just look at the people around him
She couldn't help but say, "Brother Ting, Gu Jiu has found a homosexual lover, she won't care about you anymore. That's her personality, she will never change her mind. Since she likes that guy named Lu Ji, she will never fall in love with someone else."
As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is always your enemy.
Chen Zhiru has always regarded Gu Jiu as an enemy and has studied her for nearly twenty years. She understands Gu Jiu so well that even Gu Jiu herself does not understand herself as well as she does.
So what she said was not wrong, Gu Jiu just had this kind of personality.
Huo Ting looked at her, poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly.
Chen Zhiru advised earnestly: "Brother Ting, don't look at her anymore. Anyway... no matter how much you like her, it won't work out. It's better not to look at her and save yourself the sadness..."
"No." Huo Ting interrupted her.
"What?" Chen Zhiru looked at him blankly. What did he mean
Huo Ting put the empty cup on the table, looking thoughtful, "Don't you girls like to do some intimate things? Like the interactions between best friends... I think Gu Jiu and Lu Ji are quite like best friends."
Chen Zhiru: “…”
People present: “…”
So, in this man's mind, the interaction between Gu Jiu and Lu Ji is actually the interaction between best friends? Are you really that blind
However, for many straight men who are blind, it is indeed difficult for them to see it, and they will not blame him for doing so.
As a bystander who witnessed the love between Gu Jiu and Lu Ji, Chai Yingying felt that she had a lot to say, "Handsome Huo, the eldest lady and Lu Ji are really in love. They like each other, and they are not just best friends."
"I know." Huo Ting nodded and said calmly, "I can see that Gu Jiu really likes him."
A person's eyes will not lie. Even though he had some doubts before, when he saw the look in Gu Jiu's eyes when he looked at Lu Ji, he understood that Gu Jiu really liked that person. It was the kind of love that he liked, not just admiring a pretty girl.
Chai Yingying was a little surprised. Since you could see that, why did you still say that they were just interacting between best friends
Huo Ting patiently explained, "Because Jiu used to interact with girls like this."
Chai Yingying: “…” I’m sorry, Miss, I can’t explain anything to you anymore.
