Chapter Seventy-Five: Open-mindedness
In a small alley hut on West Street in the middle of the city, no less than twenty people were talking to each other.
"Hehe, there's been no business at the 'Good Luck Coming' inn lately, and the big guy is doing a good job!"
"Thanks to your idea, it works!"
The man said hatefully, "Hmph, if his little white face dares to ride on our heads and spread wild, although we can't help him, it is more than enough to play these tricks of three people becoming tigers." โ
"I'm afraid that 'good luck is coming' now, and in a few days, the little white face should be swept away by the frost, haha. โ
"I really don't know what's so good about that little white face, but I gave birth to a stinky skin bag that is passable, there are so many of us, Shuang'er can't even look down on any of them, and I get involved with this little white face, dare to love in the end, Shuang'er likes this kind of thing. โ
"Whether she likes this little white face or not, she will definitely sweep that little white face out of the house in a few days, this little white face will be very angry if she loses Frost's inn. At that point, when we get back to the inn, Frost will give us a hug, hehe. โ
Everyone gave a thumbs up, "This makes sense!"
Touch!
The door opened.
"What's the reason?" a man in white stood at the door, with a long body and a faint voice.
There was daylight outside the alley, and the house was dim, the front half of the man's body was shrouded in darkness, blurred, and the back half of his body was in the sun, innocent.
This half-dark and half-bright feeling made everyone feel a little palpitating for no reason.
"Who the are you?!"
The man walked into the house at this time, and the whole person entered the darkness, and the outline was gradually revealed. After everyone saw it clearly, they were shocked, it was the little white face?!
"What, why are you?!"
Qi Qi sneered, "You did such a thing, why can't it be me?"
Everyone looked at each other, looked at Qi Qi and said, "What are you talking about, why can't we understand?"
Qi Qi said lightly, "What you say, change it back yourself, if the 'good luck' can't resume the previous business within two days, then I will follow the 'rules of the rivers and lakes' in your mouth, and if your mouth hurts people, then I will break your mouth." โ
"Do you understand?"
The matter was punctured, everyone stopped pretending to be stupid, they all got up, and each pressed their hands on their weapons, "We have to admit that you do have something, but it is a bit of a shame for you to come here alone today, but since you are here, then..."
"Stay here forever!"
When the words fell, the white light flashed, and everyone slashed at Qi Qi in unison.
Qi Qi's face was expressionless, and he didn't take off the long strip, and he directly used it as a weapon in his hand and greeted everyone.
Subsequently, there were more than a dozen "sonorous" and "bumping" sounds, which were mixed with people's wails.
After a while, no one in the room stood up, only Qi Qi, who was dressed in white, stood in the middle.
"It's still the same sentence, what you say, modify it yourself, otherwise, it's not just like today. โ
The words fell, flicked his sleeves, and floated away.

Good luck comes inside the inn.
Seeing Qi Qi coming back, Liu Shuang'er asked, "Qi Qi, how is it?"
"It's okay. โ
"So, what is it exactly?"
Qi Qi thought for a while and said, "Some people may see that you are a little intimate with me and hold a grudge, so they spread rumors, ruin your reputation, and make people in the city not come to eat with you." But I've settled it, and it won't be long before business can get back to where it used to be. โ
"I'm afraid, it's not that simple... They didn't come here to eat because of how good the food was, even if the rumors broke and business could recover somewhat, it wouldn't be back to the way it was at the beginning. โ
"I'm sorry, I influenced you. โ
Liu Shuang'er hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, I didn't mean that." But it's also a good thing that there are fewer people with bad intentions who come to eat with me, and I can also save the energy of dealing with them, and the store is clean, which is good. โ
Qi Qi stared into Liu Shuang'er's eyes for a moment to confirm whether she was lying.
On the contrary, Liu Shuang'er, who had never blushed and had no heartbeat, was looked a little helpless, "You, why do you think of me like this?"
"It's nothing," Qi Qi walked towards the back room, "I'm going to wash the dishes." โ
"Uh... Hmm," Liu Shuang'er nodded.
In the next few days, the business in the store gradually improved again, and those who originally came because they coveted the beauty of the proprietress also became more disciplined. Liu Shuang'er gradually had a smile on her face.
That night, after Qi Qi took a bath, went to bed, and was about to fall asleep, when the door rang.
"Qi Qi, it's me. "It was the voice of the hostess.
Qi Qi got up from the bed and asked while putting on his shoes, "It's so late, but something's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you. โ
Qi Qi opened the door and welcomed Liu Shuang'er in.
The two sat down at the tea table.
Liu Shuang'er dressed a little differently tonight, except for the night when she gave Qi Qi a change of clothes, she wrapped herself tightly before and after bathing on weekdays, not only did she wear a tulle tonight, but her neckline was also very low, and she applied just the right amount of powder on her face, decorating her already bright and lovely melon seed face more and more beautifully, her bright and beautiful eyes blinked, as if she could speak, as soon as she stepped into this room, the room suddenly had a more restless atmosphere.
"Are you ready to sleep?" asked Liu Shuang'er.
"It's okay," Qi Qi said.
"These days... Thank you. โ
"It's fine. โ
Liu Shuang'er paused and said, "It was agreed before, if you stay with me for seven days, I will tell you what you want, and now that the seven days have arrived, I will tell you before you leave tomorrow morning." โ
Qi Qi's eyes lit up slightly, "Yes, thank you." โ
The air fell silent.
After a long time, Liu Shuang'er muttered, "It's so hot", tugged at her chest, and asked, "Do you feel a little hot?"
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No." โ
Liu Shuang'er's eyes dimmed slightly, "Really?"
Qi Qi nodded, "It's true." โ
"That's it..."Liu Shuang'er paused, and then poured herself a cup of tea, "I'll give you another cup of tea!"
"Hmm," Qi Qi toasted to each other.
The two of them drank down.
"Then I won't disturb your rest, good night," said Liu Shuang'er, getting up and walking to the door.
Qi Qi sent her to the door, and at this time, she suddenly stopped.
"Well, what's wrong?" Qi Qi asked.
Liu Shuang'er turned around suddenly, and her plump lips were printed at Qi Qi, but the person who practiced martial arts reacted so quickly, Qi Qi dodged sideways, and grabbed Liu Shuang'er's arms with both hands, stopping her forward momentum.
Liu Shuang'er blushed and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, I'll go first." โ
Looking at Liu Shuang'er's back, Qi Qi shook his head and returned to the room.
The next day, Qi Qi woke up, cleaned up, and walked downstairs. Liu Yue'er has already gone to school, and Liu Shuang'er is already in charge of the store's business at the counter on the first floor.
Qi Qi went downstairs and greeted her, and found that her hair was in a high bun today, coiled behind her head, the ends of her hair were spread out like a flower, wearing a decent dress, her face was wiped with a little rouge, and her face was moving, revealing a trace of nobility and grace.
"Good morning, boss," Qi Qi nodded and smiled.
"Morning, did you sleep well last night?" asked Liu Shuang'er.
"Hmm," Qi Qi said.
Liu Shuang'er pointed to the door, "I asked Xiao Er to prepare the horses and food for you, and you can set off now." In the Yunchuan Desert in the Northwest Liehang Province, it is said that there is an area in the center that is exposed to direct sunlight all year round, and the temperature is extremely high, which is a rare and extremely positive place. When you arrive in the Yunchuan Desert, you should be able to find it according to the instructions of the indigenous people there. โ
"Yes, thank you!" Qi Qi hugged his fists.
Liu Shuang'er chuckled, "You are a Jianghu guest, I am a civilian woman, you are a little inappropriate to do this kind of Jianghu courtesy to me, right?" โ
"Uh... Hehe," Qi Qi smiled.
"That.. Have a nice trip!" Liu Shuang'er smiled.
"Accept your good words!" After speaking, Qi Qi turned around and walked to the door, turned over and got on his horse, waved to Liu Shuang'er in the store, and rode away.
He just walked like this, and he didn't notice that Liu Shuang'er behind him walked outside the door and waved at him.
Sometimes life is like this, you meet someone who fills your heart with joy, but he is not destined to stay with you for long, he is destined to leave. He is also destined not to like you, and is destined to be an unrequited love.
This parting is likely to be permanent. You may forget him for a long time, or you may never forget him for the rest of your life, and he walks into your heart with just one glance, a day, a week.
If you are still waiting to get married, you will be beautiful and guarded like jade. If he is still lightly white, there is no burden on his shoulders, and no ink on his heart. Maybe they're together.
But it can only be if.
Because there are no ifs in life.
"Mother, why are you crying?"
Liu Shuang'er turned around and found that her daughter Yue'er came back at some point, "Why is it so early today?"
"Mr. has something to do today, so let's come back first. โ
"Well, then let's go into the house, my mother will cook for you. โ
"Mother, why are you crying?"
Liu Shuang'er paused and said with a smile, "Because the person in my mother's heart is going in a better direction." โ

Datang has seven provinces, the Central Plains Zhongchao Province, the west Qingchuan Province, the northwest Liehang Province, the north Mengyuan Province, the southwest Tianxuan Province, the southeast Jiangnan Province, and the northeast Tianning Province.
Qi Qi is now in the southeast of Zhongchao Province, and if he wants to reach Liexing Province in the northwest, he has to cross almost the entire Zhongchao Province. After arriving in Liehang Province, he still had to cross half of Liehang Province and arrive at the Yunchuan Desert in the middle of Liehang Province, and the place Liu Shuang'er pointed out to him was in the middle of the Yunchuan Desert, so this journey was not short.
But he is not in a hurry, although the road is long, but the time is also long, stop and go, and naturally arrive.
He traveled slowly every day, and he could drive more than 100 miles a day, and he could reach it in almost a month.
