Xia Fan and Shi Xiaofei did not leave this inn after leaving the private room, because they stayed in this inn directly.

Of course, on the one hand, the inn happened to have a vacant room, and on the other hand, Xia Fan was too lazy to go far.

Although their room was only separated by a passage from the private room where Gu Xiqiao held the banquet, Xia Fan didn't care about this at all, even if there was a dislike between them? Anyway, it wouldn't be himself who had trouble sleeping in the end.

Out of consideration for Shi Xiaofei's safety, the two naturally lived in the same room.

Since there was only one bed in the room, Shi Xiaofei consciously took the initiative to give the bed to Xia Fan, and he chose to lay on the floor.

Xia Fan was not polite to Shi Xiaofei, it was nothing more than that he seemed that the hardboard bed in the guest room was no different from the floor, not to mention that now Shi Xiaofei respected himself as an elder, not to mention his temperament, just the feudal ideological education he received did not allow him to make mistakes.

Etiquette cannibalism.

This is a true portrayal of ancient feudal society.

Even those people in the rivers and lakes who act arbitrarily and seem to be unbound by etiquette and religion are actually subtly influenced by etiquette, but they themselves are not aware of this.

After nightfall, the whole Qingping County fell into a silence, the shops along the street have long been closed, there are basically no pedestrians on the street, and occasionally there are lights and figures are shouting "the weather is dry, be careful of the candles" of the night watchman.

After all, ancient cities had curfews, and even if you wanted to enjoy the nightlife, you had to stay in the fireworks place, or call friends to drink and have fun at home.

Although there is a curfew on major festivals, if you want to experience the prosperity depicted in "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", it is estimated that you can only see the whole picture in places like the capital.

"Senpai, haven't you slept yet?"

Maybe it was because it was still early, Shi Xiaofei, who was not sleepy, tossed and turned on the floor and couldn't sleep, and when he noticed through the moonlight outside the window that Xia Fan was still sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm cultivating. ”

Xia Fan didn't raise his eyelids.

"Don't seniors need to rest?" Shi Xiaofei said in astonishment.

"Cultivation is also a way of resting. Xia Fan said in a flat tone.

"Wouldn't the seniors feel bored?" Shi Xiaofei said curiously.

"Do you know that the master is lonely?" Xia Fan asked without answering.

"Does the senior mean that if you want to become a master, you must be able to endure loneliness and boredom?" Shi Xiaofei thought for a while.

"You have the understanding. Xia Fan said.

"But what is the purpose of the seniors cultivating so hard?" Shi Xiaofei said in silence for a moment.

"Of course, to live better in this world. Xia Fan's words gradually became impatient. "Back then, Lao Tzu almost killed the aftermath of the two neuropaths fighting on the street, which made me deeply realize the importance of strength for the first time. ”

“...... Senior, that junior won't bother you to continue cultivating. Shi Xiaofei immediately said with interest.

"Shi Xiaofei, I hope you can remember that in the future, you can only rely on yourself, and work hard to cultivate, not to prove how powerful you are, but to firmly control your destiny in your own hands!"

After saying this, Xia Fan completely stopped speaking.

"The younger generation obeys the teachings. ”

Shi Xiaofei said with a complicated expression.

Didn't Shi Xiaofei know the importance of strength?

Especially after this incident, he knows better than anyone else the importance of strength, if he had strength, would he still be afraid that others would come to snatch the thief in his hands? Will he still end up in today's embarrassment?

But he didn't have the support of a big sect, the careful teaching of a good teacher, and the powerful martial arts inheritance.

He is an unruly thief in the rivers and lakes.

Although his adoptive father taught him a lot of survival skills, he was forced to learn the sect's unique mental method privately due to the fact that Xinglou was not allowed to teach him the sect's peerless mental method, so what his adoptive father taught him were all inconsequential martial arts, but only the light skills were quite distinctive.

Although Shi Xiaofei later got the Ancient Strange Book Stealing Heaven Decision, he didn't dare to overdo it, as if he was deeply afraid that because of his own understanding, the Heaven Thief Decision contained in the jade pendant would disappear, so how would he exchange conditions with the Star Picking Tower and fulfill his adoptive father's last wish?

He wants to be strong.

But he didn't have a way to become stronger.

What can he do? Can he ask Xia Fan for help? Impossible!

Xia Fan had already saved him from danger twice, and even promised to go out of the mountain to accompany him to escort the Heaven Thief to the Star Picking Tower, so what kind of face did Shi Xiaofei have to force the other party to help him?

Thinking about it, Shi Xiaofei fell asleep unconsciously.

By the time he woke up, it was already early the next morning.

"Let's go. ”

After having breakfast in the lobby of the inn, and by the way, he asked the guy to prepare some dry food and drinking water, Xia Fan greeted Shi Xiaofei, and then both left the inn and ran all the way to the local market to buy horses.

In addition to the horses, Xia Fan also changed a set of clean clothes and boots for himself and Shi Xiaofei, and it took nearly an hour to get rid of everything, and the money collected from the gambling stall was consumed.

"Gu Gongzi, are they leaving?"

At three o'clock in the morning, Miss Huang hurriedly found the Gu Xi Bridge on the verandah of the attic.

"Gone. ”

Gu Xiqiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the direction of the gate of the city in the distance.

"Gu Gongzi, you let them go so easily, how should we explain if Senior Sister comes back?" Miss Huang couldn't help but panic.

"Miss Wan'er, do you think they can stop them if they are bent on leaving?"

Gu Xiqiao looked helplessly at Miss Huang, who was not familiar with the world.

“...... Can't stop it. Miss Huang was unwilling.

"Miss Wan'er, don't be willful in the future. Gu Xiqiao sighed lightly. "If it weren't for the magnanimity of this master, otherwise you and I would have been in danger of dying. ”

“...... Is that wicked man really as terrible as Gu Gongzi said?" Miss Huang shuddered coldly.

"Miss Wan'er, because you don't know what the grandmaster means in the rivers and lakes......" Gu Xiqiao said excitedly. Sister Ling understood this, so she couldn't wait to rush back to the sect, and even before that, she didn't dare to have any conflicts with the other party. ”

Only you, who have lived in the sect all the year round and are doted on by your elders, will be so ignorant and fearless.

Gu Xiqiao added in his heart.

"Gu Gongzi, the little woman knows that she is wrong. ”

Miss Huang was stunned and silent for a long time.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Gu Xiqiao said absent-mindedly. "Now, let's wait for Sister Ling to come back with peace of mind. ”
