"Cheated away?" Ren Zhifei looked at the direction Lin Yu left, and then glanced at the expressionless Lao Fang, and suddenly felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused.
But Black Cat said in consciousness: "Idiot, he was just pretending."
"Pretending?" Ren Zhifei was still very confused.
Black Cat explained: "Didn't we say that this woman is strange before? Combining your reaction with Lao Fang's performance, it is very likely that the other party has the ability to confuse people's minds."
Ren Zhifei finally understood a little bit and murmured: "So that's the case. But why did Lao Fang deliberately pretend to be like that?"
"If she didn't look like she was being tricked on purpose, how could that woman easily believe the direction I pointed her in." Lao Fang said calmly: "In fact, that is the exact opposite direction to Guxia Mountain."
"In the opposite direction? Guxia Mountain? Where is that place?" Ren Zhifei has lived here for so long and has never heard of the place name Guxia Mountain.
"Well, it's a..." Lao Fang hesitated, then sighed and said, "It's a very ancient place."
"Is that woman just now a bad person?" Ren Zhifei asked.
Lao Fang shook his head and said: "I have a guess in my mind, but I'm not sure yet. In short, she is not the person we are waiting for."
"Waiting for someone?" After all these years, Lao Fang finally revealed something, which made Ren Zhifei very excited and asked quickly: "Who are you waiting for? Is this why we moved here?"
Lao Fang didn't speak anymore, but looked towards a dark corner of the street.
Ren Zhifei followed his gaze and vaguely saw a figure flashing past.
Lao Fang whispered: "Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong!" Ren Zhifei asked doubtfully.
As usual, Lao Fang didn't answer. He just walked in the direction of the flashing black shadow, leaving only one sentence for Ren Zhifei: "Don't let anyone check in tonight, unless it's a group of three, one woman and two men."
Ren Zhifei agreed and saw Lao Fang disappear from sight.
For the next time, Ren Zhifei stayed alone in the hotel. The hotel was quiet and no one came until five o'clock in the afternoon. Normally, Ren Zhifei would have been unable to bear the loneliness and ran out to play. In view of what happened today, he still waited patiently at the door of the hotel. On the one hand, he wanted to know who exactly Lao Fang was waiting for. On the other hand, he was always worried about Lao Fang. Although he only saw a shadow flashing past, Ren Zhifei still had a very bad feeling.
"Is it dangerous for Lao Fang to chase him?" Ren Zhifei asked Black Cat uneasily.
"I'm not sure." Black Cat answered hesitantly this time. "Looking at the direction in which the black shadow disappeared, it seemed to be following the beautiful woman from before. Judging from the shadow's despicable behavior, he must not be a good person. Maybe. I must be worried about something happening to that beautiful woman."
"This is even more strange." Ren Zhifei frowned, "I pointed out the wrong path to others before, why do you want to help others again?"
Black Cat said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe... the beauty is not a bad person? It's just that I don't want her to go to that place."
Ren Zhifei became even more confused, "What's the reason?"
"I know I won't use questions." Black Cat said angrily, "Besides, all this is just speculation. After all, the clues are limited, so we can only speculate like this. But what is certain is that Lao Fang's move is definitely not a plan Within. However, with his character, he will not do anything that is uncertain, so we’d better not worry about talent in vain.”
"That's right." Ren Zhifei sighed, but the worry in his heart did not diminish a little.
The black cat continued to persuade, "Actually, we all know that although Lao Fang is usually not showy, he actually has some abilities that are beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have been bewitched by that beautiful woman. stay awake."
These words finally made Ren Zhifei feel relieved a little. He recalled the task assigned to him by Lao Fang, so he came back to his senses and carefully paid attention to the street outside the hotel door. There are few pedestrians on the street, and it is approaching evening. There are a row of private houses around. Occasionally, the wind blows through them, bringing out the whining sound. Under the gloomy sky, everything appears uneasy and quiet.
Ren Zhifei had long been accustomed to such a scene, and just waiting like this made him feel sleepy. At this time, the black cat was also very silent. I don't know what he was thinking deep in his consciousness, and he couldn't bark out. Ren Zhifei looked at the time, it was already half past five.
"Most likely that person won't come." Ren Zhifei gave himself such a reason and finally lay down on the counter with peace of mind.
Half asleep and half awake, noises came from the street. Black Cat suddenly shouted in his mind, "Someone is coming! Get up!" Ren Zhifei suddenly jumped up, sat up from the counter, rubbed his eyes and looked forward.
As his vision gradually became clearer, Ren Zhifei looked at it intently for a long time and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. It turns out that the people coming ahead are not one woman and two men, but just a man and a woman.
Normally, Ren Zhifei has seen a lot of guests who come here to stay at the hotel in the evening, usually mostly a man and a woman. Those people obviously don't look like tourists. However, the two people in front of him were obviously different from those Ren Zhifei had seen before.
Ren Zhifei couldn't explain the weirdness at the moment, but the black cat solved his doubts.
"The relationship between these two people is not that close." Black Cat said.
Ren Zhifei suddenly realized that after Black Cat's reminder, he had indeed noticed that the relationship between the man and woman was more than just not close. They had been bickering as they walked here. Especially that man, who seemed to be talking in rapid succession without stopping for a moment.
At this time, the man and woman came closer, and Ren Zhifei seemed to hear clearly what they were arguing about.
The man raised his eyebrows and said: "As an elder, I seriously protest your attitude of being neither big nor small!"
"Elder?" The woman squinted her eyes, her expression seemed to be sneering.
The man asked: "Is it because of Cui Benshan that you showed up?"
"Yeah, what does this have to do with you." The woman looked disdainful.
The man analyzed seriously: "In other words, Cui Benshan can be regarded as half of your father, and he has taught you so much cultivation knowledge. It is not too much to say that he is a master. As Cui Benshan's junior brother, I, Xu Dingjia, can you You should call me uncle when you see me!"
"Oh?" The woman spoke with a high tone and asked again: "Then you tell me how to go next, uncle?"
The man and woman who came here were none other than Xu Dingjia and Chu Xueying who were going here to look for the ruins.
Facing Chu Xueying's question, Xu Dingjia looked embarrassed and could only say: "You said that the ruins are near this town, and now you are asking me?"
Chu Xueying refused to give up and continued: "There are only so many clues that I know. This is how Cui Benshan found it at the beginning. You don't have the ability to call yourself his junior brother, and you still want to be an elder?"
Xu Dingjia couldn't stand it any longer. He pretended to be angry and said, "I'm warning you, being disrespectful to your elders is against the rules of the sect. Be careful, uncle, I will kick you out!"
"Hey!" Chu Xueying rolled her eyes.
Xu Dingjia shook his head and sighed, looked around, fixed his eyes on the door of the hotel, and quickly changed the subject: "It seems there is no hope today. Let's find a place to stay first, and then look for it tomorrow."
Chu Xueying finally didn't go against the grain on this issue. She just looked back and asked, "Where is that person?"
Xu Dingjia replied: "I asked him to try his luck around. If he is close enough to the ruins, the sky ruler can still react."
Chu Xueying raised her eyebrows and said: "The sensitivity when holding things is so poor, could it be that you haven't fixed it?"
Xu Dingjia was furious and shouted: "I am a disciple of the great cultivator family and a descendant of the Supreme Being. I can't cultivate a mere measuring ruler. I..."
"Okay, okay, you are the best!" Chu Xueying interrupted the other party casually, and walked towards the hotel first, "I think we should book a room first, I want to choose a big one Private room."
Xu Dingjia lost his temper and had no choice but to follow.
As soon as they entered the door, the two heard Ren Zhifei's voice coming from inside.
"I'm sorry, this hotel is temporarily closed today. Please go back, you two."
