Chapter 4 Objectives
How to find a suitable family for the shopkeeper.
This is something that Xiao Ming and they have planned a long time ago.
Even if they know it's their own wishful thinking.
But so what?
What you want to do, what you should do.
They all did.
As for whether the shopkeeper accepts it or not, it is the shopkeeper's business.
Xiao Ming: They are all a group of people with great action.
After deciding to find a suitable family for the shopkeeper, they began to look around for a suitable candidate.
Don't look at them as just inconspicuous guys in the inn.
But in fact, they secretly have an energy that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Like what.
Nothing happens on the ground that can be hidden from them.
Like what.
Their tentacles of influence have spread throughout the Asuka Dynasty, and even continue to spread outward.
After all.
Xiao Ming and the others were not real mortals themselves, but cultivators who had mastered great power.
Eighteen years before adulthood.
Why didn't the shopkeeper let them work in the inn all the time?
Nothing more than before they became adults.
They have always been taught by the treasurer.
The teachings include the spiritual teachings.
Out of caution.
In order to avoid making people aware of the abnormality.
Therefore, until they have achieved a small degree in their cultivation, they will never show their faces in front of any cultivators.
Until they have the ability to completely cover their strength and aura.
From now on.
They also officially became the buddies in the inn.
Because they are no longer afraid of the probing of other practitioners.
Of course.
If there are cultivators whose strength is higher than theirs, they will naturally be able to see through their hidden strength.
Here's the problem.
In this place where they live.
How could any highly powerful cultivators appear here?
Even if there is.
Don't they still have a treasurer?
Know in their eyes.
The shopkeeper is an unfathomable and omnipotent mysterious being.
Even if some people say that the shopkeeper is a god, they all believe in it.
It is conceivable that the position of the shopkeeper in their minds.
In addition, the relationship between the shopkeeper and them is also a father, a teacher and a friend.
Therefore, they have always been very respectful and loving to the shopkeeper.
For the shopkeeper's later changes.
Let's be honest.
In fact, Xiao Ming and they are all confused.
How can a diligent and down-to-earth person suddenly become a lazy person who has nothing to do all day long for no reason?
Crucially, there was no foreboding at all.
They didn't ask the shopkeeper tentatively.
But the shopkeeper is perfunctory every time.
Since the shopkeeper refused to speak.
What can you make them do?
Outcome.
When they are at a loss.
Ade made a miraculous suggestion to find a suitable family for the shopkeeper.
As for the reason.
It's not so much that they really want the shopkeeper to marry, but that they want to use this incident to force the shopkeeper to tell them the truth.
After all, with what they know about the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is likely not to accept such a thing.
If the shopkeeper accepts......
Wouldn't that be better?
Maybe there will be new changes in the shopkeeper after marriage.
Everyone felt that it made sense, and simply agreed to Ade's proposal.
But.
Where are they going to find the right shopkeeper?
Ordinary vulgar fans, let alone shopkeepers, even Xiao Ming and the three of them can't look down on them.
Not to mention a figure like the shopkeeper.
Even if the shopkeeper in the end looks down on the girls they picked.
But this girl must also be the best.
So Xiao Ming, they are worried.
By their standards.
This girl must first of all be a martial arts or cultivator with a high level of cultivation.
Secondly, this girl must be a virtuous and virtuous person.
In the end, the girl must be willing to marry the shopkeeper.
As for appearances and the like, it doesn't matter, as long as it looks good and looks pleasing to the eye.
After all, cultivation has reached a certain level.
Looks and everything can be changed at will.
For this.
Xiao Ming and they did not hesitate to expand their power to the entire Asuka Dynasty.
Yes.
At the beginning, Xiao Ming didn't want to set up any great organization, but they just wanted to live more steadily in the local area.
This can be regarded as an unintentional planting of willows and willows.
Over the years.
As the organization continues to grow.
They are collecting more and more things.
But their greatest concern is undoubtedly the female cultivator who is suitable for marrying the shopkeeper.
After a long and careful selection.
They finally locked down one person.
A real famous lady.
Dong Cailing.
Once the only daughter of the owner of Linwu Mountain Villa.
Why say it was?
Because the owner of the Linwu Villa has changed owners.
And the new owner is none other than Dong Chae-ling's uncle.
A guy who became the owner of the village by murdering his own brother.
This is not an unfounded rumor.
You must know that the person who said this is Dong Cailing herself.
Dong Cailing's uncle naturally denied it.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dong Cailing is not lying.
Soon after ascending to the throne of the farm, her uncle planned to expand the villa through marriage, and the person who married was undoubtedly his brother's widow Dong Cailing.
After learning about it, Clinker Dong Cailing absconded from the villa as soon as possible, and at the same time announced to the outside world that the other party had killed his father before ascending to the position of the owner of the village.
However, Lin Wu Villa can be called a powerful sect in the Asuka Dynasty.
Although Uncle Dong Cailing's means of ascending to the position of the owner of the village were not honorable.
But no one is willing to really stand up and give Dong Cailing substantial help.
After all, neither of them wants to offend the actual person in charge of Lin Wu Villa for the sake of a woman.
Passion and justice or something.
This is not the rivers and lakes of the mortal world, and in the cruel cultivation world, it completely relies on strength to speak.
And Dong Cailing's uncle can't let Dong Cailing continue to come around.
He not only sent the people of the villa to search for Dong Cailing, but even preached to various sects and cultivators that if anyone could bring Dong Cailing back to Lin Wu Villa, Lin Wu Villa would be grateful.
If it weren't for Dong Cailing, she was extremely good at concealment and escape.
I'm afraid she's already had people take her back to the villa to receive the reward.
According to Xiao Ming, the latest information they have gotten.
Not long ago, someone suspected that Dong Cailing's whereabouts had been discovered, and according to the direction in which she was fleeing, it was likely to pass them by then.
If people come.
Xiao Ming: Will they let Dong Cailing leave?
It is not for nothing that Xiao Ming will choose Dong Cailing.
First of all.
Dong Cailing's conditions fully meet their standards.
Young and beautiful, talented and intelligent, and has good strength.
At the same time, she is the daughter of the former owner of Linwu Mountain Villa.
She has received rigorous education and training in all aspects.
Anyone who comes into contact with her will not praise Dong Cailing for being an excellent woman in her show.
Both conditions were met.
As for the third condition.
Will Dong Cailing willingly marry the shopkeeper?
The answer is yes.
Xiao Ming is very confident in this.
Because Dong Cailing has a grudge in his heart.
She needs to avenge her father.
But she couldn't do it alone.
What's more, she didn't ask for help from the sect, a friend who had been good friends with her father before, but unfortunately no one was really willing to help her in the end.
After recognizing the reality.
She could only fight it all by herself.
But what if Xiao Ming and they are willing to help her?
It's just a matter of getting rid of a Misty Villa.
It's not a big deal in their eyes.
So.
As long as Dong Cailing can't let go of the hatred in his heart.
She would agree to marry the shopkeeper.
With Xiao Ming's understanding of Dong Cailing, if she really can let go of her hatred, she won't ask for their organization in the end.
That's right.
Dong Cailing contacted their organization through some channel and begged them to organize the killing of his uncle.
It's a pity that Xiao Ming and they refused.
On the one hand, Dong Cailing can't come up with the price code offered by the organization.
Even though Dong Cailing said that he would be able to take back Linwu Villa in the future.
But the organization rejects this behavior of the white wolf with empty gloves, and the organization is not optimistic that after her uncle's death, she will be able to get everything back in the villa.
It's just that her strength is still too weak now.
As for the other side.
Dong Cailing was the most suitable person they were looking for.
How could she let the organization help her assassinate her uncle, otherwise how would they make Dong Cailing willingly marry the shopkeeper at that time?
Although such an act is no less dishonorable.
But Xiao Ming, they don't care at all.
In this world.
Except for themselves and the shopkeepers.
No one deserves their attention.
I have to say.
It has to do with their childhood experiences.
Back then, when they were begging along the streets and grabbing food from dogs.
In this world, apart from the shopkeeper, who else really cares about them?
The shopkeeper gave them food, clothing, and innumerable things.
In this life.
They owe only the treasurer, and not to anyone in the world.
Following.
The inn is still the same as usual.
The shopkeeper lay in a rocking chair on the counter and hummed a strange tune.
Ah Chao stood in front of the counter, concentrating on bookkeeping as always.
Xiao Ming Ade was constantly busy going back and forth around the inn, and Xiao Xiong, who was in the back kitchen, never left the stove.
Xue Qing sat in the corner by the window.
He loved the location.
Because this location not only allows him to see everything in the inn, but also can always feel the bustling atmosphere of the street outside the window.
He sat in this position at the time of the three poles of the sun.
From early afternoon to mid-afternoon, he did not leave half a step.
Interestingly.
The monk he had noticed when he returned to his room last night was still in the room without taking a step.
But Xue Qing was not in a hurry.
Opposite.
He has always been a very patient person.
What should be down, what should be seen.
Sooner or later, you'll come across it.
"Do you want to test them?"
His gaze swept over the innkeeper and the man without a trace.
Xue Qing suddenly had such a thought in his heart.
But in an instant, he dismissed this thought.
After all, he still has important things to do now, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches.
Even if you have to be tempted.
Also wait until the mission is over.
Is Qin Ji, the young master of Dongshan Gate?
Think of my goal this time.
Xue Qing couldn't help but feel a little cautious.
Dongshan Gate is not a big sect gate in the Asuka Dynasty, but this does not mean that Dongshan Gate is a small sect that can be kneaded at will.
And as the young master of Dongshan Gate, there is no doubt that he is an outstanding figure.
Regarding Qin Ji's information, Xue Qing had already learned more about it through that jade slip.
If it's head-to-head.
Xue Qing didn't dare to guarantee that he could win the other party, let alone kill him.
But he was an assassin.
Do assassins need to go head-to-head with their enemies?
The essence of an assassin is to kill with a single hit.
If you miss a blow, you will immediately flee thousands of miles.
Wait until the follow-up information comes.
At that time, Xue Qing would naturally be fully prepared.
Idle when it's time to be free.
Busy when it's time to be busy.
Xue Qing has always divided his life very clearly.
Killer.
Or the Assassins.
It's a shady profession.
Xue Ze chose this profession not because of money or because he liked it.
What he loved was the thrill of the moment when the assassination was successful.
The beauty of life withering in your own hands.
The same.
He is not a man who likes to kill indiscriminately.
Everyday life.
He always plays the role of a spectator who stays out of the matter, and rarely has conflicts with others.
If you happen to encounter it.
Then the life and death of the other party depends on his mood at the time.
"Little Bear, that guy named Xue Qing is looking at us a little wrong. ”
Meanwhile.
Back kitchen.
Ade, who was slapping the bear's hand, said with a hippie smile.
"What's wrong?"
The bear was expressionless as he cooked the stew in the pot.
"For a moment I had the feeling that he wanted to test us. ”
Ade said with an eyebrow raised.
"It's a good thing he finally put the idea away, otherwise it would have been a bit difficult to do. ”
"Who do you think is the reason for this?"
Little Bear said indifferently.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, I'll find a chance to get him back together. ”
Ade hurriedly said.
"The dish is ready, let's take it out. ”
Little Bear shoved the stewed pot into Ade's hand, and he picked up the other two dishes and walked out of the kitchen.
"Bear wait for me. ”
Seeing this, Ade hurriedly followed.
Moment.
The two of them came to the long table that had been packed.
I saw the shopkeeper sitting on the throne, yawning weakly with his eyes.
He picked up the chopsticks handed by Xiao Ming.
He said a word to the crowd.
"Let's eat, what are you doing stupidly?"
After speaking.
He unceremoniously picked up the fattest piece of meat in the pot.
"Shopkeeper, haven't you woken up from the wine you drank last night?"
There is no rule between them.
You can talk freely at the dinner table.
After eating two bites of a meal.
Xiao Ming asked the shopkeeper with a look of concern.
"Huh, what do you mean when you don't wake up? Isn't Lao Tzu always like this on weekdays?"
The shopkeeper pouted.
"Is the shopkeeper going out to drink in the past two days?"
Xiao Ming asked again.
"It depends, you know, the neighbors are too enthusiastic about me, they like to call me for everything, and it's hard to guarantee that someone will call me over again if there is a happy event in the past two days. ”
The shopkeeper's tone was lazy.
"Has the shopkeeper considered his own happy event?"
Xiao Ming suddenly plucked up his courage and asked cautiously.
"Huh, what are you talking about, you stinky boy?"
said.
The shopkeeper's spirit was shocked, and his eyes instantly looked around the people on the table clearly.
Time.
This made everyone sit up at once.
"Ho, you stinky boys, don't give me any moths, otherwise I won't pick your skin when the time comes...... If I don't eat it, I have no appetite. ”
After speaking.
The shopkeeper threw away the chopsticks in his hand.
He got up and walked towards the door of the inn.
"Shopkeeper, where are you going?"
Xiao Ming saw this.
reacted immediately and hurriedly said.
"Go to the Green House!"
The head of the shopkeeper did not reply.
“......”
Xiao Ming almost couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this.
The shopkeeper has indeed been to the Qinglou.
And more than once or twice.
The key is that the shopkeeper goes to the Qinglou and does nothing.
I just like to drink tea and chat with the girls, especially listening to them tell stories or talk about interesting things that have happened recently.
Such a shopkeeper is completely incomprehensible.
