Chapter 173: Ruyi Building
"Dada~"
"Gollum...... Gollum ......"
On the evening of the fourth day, two carriages slowly drove into a huge city gate. As soon as I entered the city, I heard the noise outside. Xia Zixin looked out of the window of the carriage with a pair of beautiful eyes, and saw that the spacious street was full of people.
"What a wide street!" Xia Zixin said as she looked at the street with a surprised look.
Their carriages took up only a quarter of the road.
"Let's get out of the car and take a walk? It's the first time we've come to Purple Leaf City, and we need to get familiar with it! It's likely that we'll have to live here for a few years in the future. Xia Yan looked at Xia Zixin and Xia Liu and said.
When the two of them heard this, they both nodded again and again.
Along the way, the four-day drive and horses were tiring, although the journey was safe, but everyone was extremely bored. Except for the time to eat and sleep, everyone stayed in the carriage almost all the time for the past four days, and it was indeed uncomfortable.
"Let's go!" Xia Yan saw that both of them agreed, so he took the lead in getting out of the carriage.
Immediately followed by a gray shadow rushing out, the earth dog followed Xia Yan and got out of the car. In the past few days, Xia Zixin and Xia Liu have also seen the wisdom of the earth dog.
"Young son of the Liu family, we are going to get out of the car and take a walk, can you go together?" Xia Zixin shouted to the carriage behind her after getting out of the car.
A moment later, Liu Kai took the lead in getting out of the carriage and came to Xia Yan's side.
"This Purple Leaf City is really much more prosperous than our Guangyuan City, and the streets are also several times spacious, and it is worthy of being the main city that governs more than 20 county cities. Liu Kai looked at the surrounding environment, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.
Xia Yan nodded and said, "I don't know where the Purple Leaf Academy is in Purple Leaf City, let's find a restaurant to live in in a while, and then inquire about where the Purple Leaf Academy is." Today is August 28, and two days later, it will be the day of the assessment of Purple Leaf Academy, and we can't miss it. ”
"Hmm!" the others nodded.
Six young people were in front, and the earth dog followed Xia Yan, sometimes running out and back. The two carriages, driven by the servants, followed not far behind.
After the assessment is completed, the carriage will return to Purple Leaf City.
"How big does this Purple Leaf City have to be, I heard my father say that Purple Leaf City has a population of one million. A young master of the Liu family rolled his eyes around and exclaimed.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops, shouting and shouting one after another.
"Almost, Yushui City and Guangyuan City both have a population of hundreds of thousands. Purple Leaf City is the main city, and the population is naturally larger. Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Xia Yan, I heard that you were disqualified from the assessment of Purple Leaf Academy, so how will you participate in the assessment at that time?" Liu Kai looked at Xia Yan and asked strangely, he had just heard that Xia Yan had been disqualified from the assessment.
Xia Yan chuckled and said: "It's man-made, if the Purple Leaf Academy really doesn't let me go in to participate in the assessment, then there is no way, I should come to this Purple Leaf City to relax." ”
"Hehe, that's right, it's good!" Liu Kai smiled.
Now Liu Kai is very polite to Xia Yan, just like friends.
The six of them walked on the street for more than half an hour, and it was completely dark, and lights of various colors were hung on both sides of the road. From a distance, it is very beautiful.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to stay first. There are still two days left before the assessment, and these two days are enough time for us to get acquainted with Purple Leaf City. Xia Yan rolled his gaze, stopped, turned to the others and said.
"Good!"
Several other people, all agreed.
"It's like a restaurant. Xia Zixin stretched out her finger and pointed to a building not far away.
In front of the door of the building, there were four red lanterns, and from a distance it looked like it was almost three floors.
Xia Yan stared over, and he saw that there was indeed a golden plaque hanging on the door.
"Ruyi Building?" Xia Yan muttered, "Let's go, go over and have a look!"
The others, they couldn't see the plaque at such a distance, the sky was already completely dark, even if there was a lantern, they couldn't see it clearly, they didn't have Xia Yan's eyesight. Hearing Xia Yan say the three words Ruyilou, everyone looked at each other in amazement, surprised in their hearts, and then followed Xia Yan closely.
When I arrived at the restaurant, the waiter quickly greeted me. The waiter looked at the earth dog and seemed to frown, but quickly returned to normal.
"Welcome to a few distinguished guests, do you need to eat or stay in this restaurant?" the waiter bowed down and asked a few people loudly and respectfully.
"Heh, you have to eat food, and you have to live in the store. Do you still have any spare rooms here?" Xia Yan said with a smile.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Xia Yan looked around and found that there were a lot of customers, and many of them were young people of their age. That's why Xia Yan asked if there was a vacant room.
"Guests, you are really here, if it is a little later, I am afraid there will be no room. Our Ruyi Building is the best restaurant in the vicinity, although the price is expensive, but the respected guests will be satisfied after staying here. The waiter said with a smile and ushered a few people inside.
"Well, okay, then let's take a look at the room first!" Xia Yan nodded and said.
Several other people followed Xia Yan.
At the counter, after Xia Yan asked, he knew that there were only two large rooms and a small room left in this restaurant.
After discussion, several people decided to let Xia Zixin live in a small room alone, while Xia Yan and Liu Kai lived in two large rooms with five people.
Liu Kai has actually always had a little admiration for Xia Zixin, but now he won't do any frivolous moves. When the room was divided, he took the initiative to let Xia Zixin live in a small room alone.
The room was clean and gorgeously decorated. Of course, the price is also expensive, with a large room costing one gold coin a day, and a small room costing five silver coins.
Xia Yan was going to pay, but Liu Kai had to pay by him anyway, so he had no choice but to give him the opportunity to pay. A few gold coins are naturally nothing to Liu Kai.
After washing, they all changed into dry and clean clothes, and the six of them went downstairs together. A few of the servants lived in the backyard, where there were free houses. Generally, large restaurants will have this kind of free premises, which are specially used for those guests' servants to stay, as well as to place carriages and horses.
"There are so many guests here, and many of them are about the same age as us, isn't it ......" Xia Zixin was wearing a purple dress, bright and moving, and her body had a unique attraction, which always made men's eyes focus on her.
Xia Yan looked at the guests in the restaurant and nodded, "Maybe it's the same as us!"
With Xia Yan's eyesight, it can naturally be seen that these young people are all cultivators, and none of them are weak, and some of them have reached the peak of the day after tomorrow like Liu Kai.
In the restaurant, there are also many people who look at them, but they are all swept away, and there is no impolite behavior. Many of them are also acquaintances, and they gather together to discuss something.
The six men found an empty table and sat down, and the waiter soon came over and asked what they wanted to eat.
Xia Yan asked, "Purple Leaf Academy, do you know where it is?"
"Purple Leaf Academy?" the waiter was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You must also be here to participate in the assessment of Purple Leaf Academy, right? You see our restaurant, most of the guests are participating in the assessment of Purple Leaf Academy." Hehe, didn't you all ask about the location of Purple Leaf Academy, and just came here to stay in our Ruyi Building?"
"Yes!" Xia Yan was also a little surprised, and said secretly, "Could it be that Purple Leaf Academy is nearby?"
Sure enough, the waiter quickly said, "Purple Leaf Academy, it's less than five hundred meters away from our Ruyi Building. It only takes half a cup of tea to walk. ”
Five hundred meters, half a cup of tea is the speed of ordinary people, for cultivators, even if it is only the peak of the day after tomorrow, five hundred meters can almost be reached in the time of more than a dozen breaths. If it is a spirit master, it can be faster, just like Xia Yan, you can run five hundred meters with a few breaths.
"I see, no wonder there are so many guests staying here. Xia Yan said with a smile.
Xia Zixin, Liu Kai and others also showed joy. Purple Leaf Academy is so close, so it is naturally the best.
"Every time the entrance assessment of Purple Leaf Academy, our Ruyi Building will be full. Hehe, but ah, Purple Leaf Academy only has one assessment in three years, and it would be nice if it were three times a year. This waiter saw that although Xia Yan and the others were richly dressed, they were not domineering, so they talked more.
"Hehe, you're right, we hope it too. Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Woo~"
The earth dog sat next to Xia Yan and barked a little protestingly. Obviously, it wanted to eat.
"Then let's order!" Xia Yan glanced at the earth dog and said to the others.
After a few people ordered the dishes, Xia Yan specially ordered a complete set for the earth dog.
Liu Kai was a little surprised to see that Xia Yan had so many points, but he didn't ask much. Anyway, I can't eat much.
Not only the young masters of the Liu family, Xia Zixin and Xia Liu, but also looked at Xia Yan in wonder, not knowing why Xia Yan ordered so much.
When the dishes came up, everyone suddenly understood.
The dog next to Xia Yan is simply a starving ghost. A plate of more than ten catties of meat came up, and within a moment, it was wiped out by the earth dog. The restaurant doesn't even serve as fast as it eats.
Of course, the dishes eaten by Xia Yan and the others were separated from the earth dogs. If it were Xia Yan himself, he wouldn't pay attention to this, but if he ate with other people, Xia Yan would have to let the earth dog separate, otherwise even if others didn't say it, they would probably feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Originally, he was at the same table with a dog, but I'm afraid these young ladies and young masters have never had such an experience.
"Xia Yan, your dog can really eat. Liu Kai exhaled and said in horror.
Just now, he secretly wondered why Xia Yan ordered so many dishes, but now it seems that even if he orders so much, I'm afraid it won't be enough for this dog.
"Hehe, it's very edible. Xia Yan said with a smile.
On the road, he has been in a hurry, and many times everyone eats in the carriage, and Xia Yan has never let the earth dog let go of eating. Now that he has arrived in Purple Leaf City, he has no control anymore, and Xia Yan doesn't care about that money anyway.
"This dog is really special. Xia Zixin looked at the earth dog and said.
"It's special. Liu Kai nodded heavily.
