The three of them turned their heads in unison, and the speaker was a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair at the temples, thick and neat eyebrows, and a pair of sparkling eyes, obviously a man who is very good at doing business.
"Great, it's so late, and there are still vacancies in the hotel!" Liu Bingqian's eyes lit up slightly, and she held Yang Jing's hand energetically, obviously very happy.
Yang Jing smiled calmly, naturally she was very fortunate, usually at this time, the hotel rooms are already full, unexpectedly this hotel still has vacancies.
Ye Zifeng stared at the middle-aged man for a long time: "I didn't see any hotel on this street, boss, you have traveled too far to solicit customers, besides, how do you know that we don't have a house in Tiandao City?" ?”
The middle-aged man was taken aback by what he said, but he immediately realized it and said with an apologetic smile: "This little brother doesn't know something. At this time, people from outside the city often come in, and I see that after your carriage enters the city, there will be no traffic." I have already given the direction to go, so I guess you are going to stay overnight."
"Oh? Really?" Ye Zifeng was still a little suspicious.
Liu Bingqian was a little tired after this day, let alone Yang Jing.
She looked at Yang Jing's bloodless lips, and persuaded slightly: "Brother rough man, it's not easy for people to do business, and they will inevitably come up to ask casually, so don't doubt him, he won't ask you too much." More gold coins, huh, boss?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, our Tianfu Hotel is a bit remote, it's not like those big hotels, business is more difficult to do, but the price is absolutely fair, I think the three of you, or just two Just a room, five gold coins for one night will do!"
"Two rooms with five gold coins?"
Liu Bingqian and Yang Jing looked at each other with a smile, thinking that this price is indeed quite reasonable in Tiandao City, and it can even be described as cheap.
"Come on, Senior Sister Jing, let's leave the carriage with the guard at the gate of the city, and follow the boss to his hotel."
Yang Jing smiled and nodded. Originally, she was worried that she might sleep on the street, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.
…
The corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth raised a slight smile, and he was already alert.
"For five gold coins, is it worth your boss traveling so far to solicit customers? It's too much value. Forget it, if you solve these messes early, you can start preparing for the Pill Fighting Competition."
Therefore, when the middle-aged man was leading the way, Ye Zifeng kept watching around, and whenever he found anything unusual, he would stop and stop to pay attention...
Liu Bingqian followed all the way, and saw that the place they were walking was getting more and more desolate, so she couldn't help but ask: "Boss, how remote is your hotel? After walking for so long, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"Come on, come on, it's ahead."
The middle-aged man smiled mischievously, then quickened his pace, turned his back to the crowd, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Bingqian was out of breath after walking all the way, and Yang Jing was already weak, and with the bumps on the small road this day, she was so tired that she almost couldn't even stand up.
"Boss...!" Liu Bingqian couldn't help but want to speak again.
"It's here, look, isn't it here?" The middle-aged man pointed to the slightly dilapidated hotel in front of him, turned around and smiled.
Liu Bingqian raised her head, looked at the "Tianfu Hotel" written on the crumbling plaque, and gave a wry smile.
"Boss, your hotel is really dilapidated, as if you haven't had any guests for several days. That's all, it's enough to make do with one night today. Here you are, here are five gold coins."
Although she is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, alchemy has made her suffer since childhood, so she has never been a pretentious woman. As long as she lives in a place other than a grass nest and can get by, she will not be too demanding.
The middle-aged man took the five gold coins with a smile, and stretched out his hand towards the inside: "Come on, please, the hotel is indeed a bit remote and run-down, but the service is good, I wonder if you have eaten before, wait a minute , how about I bring you a midnight snack?"
"And supper? Speaking of which, I just happen to be a little hungry." Liu Bingqian giggled, and there was a bit of embarrassment in her beautiful eyes.
They did bring some dry food, but it was not as delicious as the freshly made supper after all.
Yang Jing chuckled lightly: "Junior Sister, after all these years, do you still have the habit of eating late at night? However, according to your way of eating, you can always maintain such a slender figure. I really envy her!"
Liu Bingqian's pretty face changed slightly, and she gave Yang Jing a wink, indicating that she still had someone else, but when she turned her head to look at Ye Zifeng's words, she found that he was always pretending to be resting with his eyes closed, and didn't care about him. Know what to think.
"Brother rough man, you have been silent since just now. If I hadn't seen you following all the way, I would have thought you were asleep? Are you okay?"
After Ye Zifeng heard the words, a trace of spiritual energy suddenly withdrew from his mind, opened his eyes slightly, and smiled lightly: "Since you all eat supper, then count me as one, boss, give me a supper too Come on, measure enough."
A coldness flashed across the eyes of the middle-aged man, but it was fleeting. He chuckled and said, "Of course, this young master will not lose your share."
He turned to order the shop assistant: "Tiryu, quickly take the three guests to the two rooms on the east side of the upper floor, and be quick with your hands and feet! Don't neglect the guests!"
Tongsheng laughed when he heard the words, and hurriedly greeted: "Okay, come, three guests, please!"
…
Liu Bingqian and Yang Jing sat in the guest room, their heads bowed in silence, their beautiful eyes full of complex expressions.
"Brother rough man, it's not very good. According to what you said, is this hotel really a black shop? I think the owner is not bad."
"Yeah, Mr. Ye, could it be that you are a little tired today and a little too nervous, why don't you go to bed early?" Yang Jing looked confused, but also didn't feel anything unusual.
The two little girls were not deeply involved in the world, so naturally they couldn't be compared with Ye Zifeng, who had been a man for two lifetimes. Ye Zifeng could see through the eyes of such a black-hearted boss at a glance. And he guessed in his heart that the owner of this black shop must be in the same group as the people who followed him and wanted to harm him.
After his observation along the way, someone must have come to the hotel before them, and this hotel is so remote, no one should care about it.
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly and shook his head: "There is such a thick layer of dust in the corridor of the hotel, it's obviously due to neglect of cleaning, the boss didn't even ask about our relationship, and just said to give us two rooms, don't you Do you find it strange?"
Liu Bingqian looked at Ye Zifeng in surprise and shame, and said softly: "In my opinion, you are surprised that the boss won't give us two rooms? Could it be that we can give us one room?"
At Yang Jing's age, it was also her first love affair, she immediately came to her senses, a blush appeared on her pale face.
"Master Ye, I didn't expect you to be such a frivolous person. I misjudged you before."
"Wait a moment."
Ye Zifeng smiled wryly, feeling wronged in his heart: "I mean... three rooms are not enough?"
The two girls whispered "ah", their faces were on fire, and they hurriedly lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Speak clearly, it's so easy to misunderstand..."
Liu Bingqian spat lightly, blushing, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, then according to what you said, if this hotel is really weird, what are you going to do?"
Ye Zifeng followed her topic, and smiled faintly: "Do you still remember that they said that they want to give us supper?"
"Could it be that...he wants to..." Yang Jingruo realized something, and immediately opened her eyes wide, with a look of anxiety in her expression.
She is timid by nature and weak in body. Although her martial arts realm is already at the seventh level of Qi refining, the actual level she can really display is only at the sixth level of Qi refining. Therefore, what she fears the most is fighting.
"Don't worry, I've paid close attention to it just now. Near us, the only person with the highest realm is the Eighth Level of Qi Refining. Obviously, that person is not here to deal with you, but intends to deal with me."
When Liu Bingqian heard the words, a strange light flickered in her beautiful eyes, and her expression revealed a look of worry for Ye Zifeng.
"No way, big brother, how did you know that there are people at the eighth level of Qi refining nearby?"
It is not difficult to use aura to detect the existence of people around you from a distance, but it can be done by a person in the martial arts realm. people can complete.
But Ye Zifeng is only at the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining, how did he do it? Liu Bingqian couldn't help but feel very puzzled.
Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously, but did not directly answer Liu Bingqian's question.
"Leave this aside. I am in danger now, Bingqian, are you willing to help me?"
Liu Bingqian blushed slightly, and turned her head: "Who is willing to help you, you dead wood."
"In that case, then I'd better find Miss Jing..." Ye Zifeng said with a straight face.
"Master Ye, I..." Yang Jing smiled slightly, sandwiched between the two of them, it was really difficult to be a human being.
"Wait..." Liu Bingqian turned her head and looked at Ye Zifeng with bright eyes: "Senior Sister Jing is so weak that a gust of wind can blow her down, do you still have the nerve to ask her to help you? Tell me, what's the matter, I'll listen Think about it?"
Ye Zifeng smiled faintly: "Actually, it's not a difficult task. I reckon that if we don't follow suit and look like we've been hit by misfortune, the mastermind behind the scenes might not show up, so I think we can cooperate." Let's put on a play..."
His calm face suddenly became extremely cold, as if it was as cold as black ice.
"This time, we must teach them what will happen to those who want to attack me, Ye Zifeng!"
