Xia Qiu wandered around Taibai Street for a long time, and finally walked into a deep alley along a sheep intestine path and found Xinglong Tavern.

"That's right...... Restaurant?"

Looking at the building in front of him, Xia Qiu was a little dazzled.

A pitch-black plaque with cobwebs and dust on it. Inside the tavern, there were a few tables, chairs and benches, all of which were old, and Xia Qiu even suspected that they could not bear the weight of a person.

"It's worse than my tavern. ”

The corners of Xia Qiu's mouth twitched. Generally speaking, a restaurant is a grade higher than a tavern, but this Xinglong restaurant is really a little too dilapidated.

Walking into the restaurant, a middle-aged man stood at the counter, holding his chin with his right hand, drowsy. Seeing him walk in, he didn't catch up immediately, but blinked, as if to determine whether Xia Qiu was in the wrong place.

After a few breaths, seeing that Xia Qiu hadn't turned around to leave, the middle-aged man walked out of the counter, smiled and bowed to Xia Qiu, and said:

"This son, what do you want to eat, do you need to open a room to stay?"

Xia Qiu looked at the middle-aged man with deep-set eyes and two goatees, shook his head, and took out the cyan token.

"I'm looking for someone. ”

The middle-aged man took the token, flipped it over and over several times, and after confirming that it was correct, the spirit of the whole person changed slightly, his face was solemn, and he bowed to Xia Qiu seriously.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xia, who couldn't meet him from afar, and asked for forgiveness. ”

Xia Qiu has always directly ignored the polite words: "Where is Ximenye?"

"Mr. Xia, please follow me. ”

The middle-aged man didn't grind, and immediately turned around and led the way for Xia Qiu.

Xinglong Restaurant is not thriving, which can be seen from its dilapidated appearance, but to Xia Qiu's surprise, this restaurant actually has a very large courtyard dedicated to accommodating guests.

You must know that the configuration of courtyard accommodation is not something that ordinary restaurants can have, because the price of land in Changqiu is not cheap, and a good courtyard often costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins, not to mention the layout and decoration of the courtyard.

The middle-aged man seemed to see the surprise in Xia Qiu's eyes, and explained while leading the way:

"Mr. Xia, Xinglong Restaurant was actually really prosperous before, and it was also one of the top ten restaurants in Changqiu at that time, so there was such a courtyard. ”

Xia Qiu nodded, he saw a touch of sentimentality in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he knew what was going on.

Xinglong Restaurant was originally established by the Quicksand School, but later the Quicksand School Sect declined, and no one took care of the restaurant anymore, so it was naturally dilapidated, so that now there are many people.

"However, it is strange that a delegation of scholars would live in such a place. ”

Xia Qiu looked at the courtyard with barren grass and decadent pavilions, and felt a little strange.

At that moment, the door of a house was pushed open, and out of it came a young man, not tall, slightly fat, and dark, who was known as the "quicksand knife".

"Mr. Xia, you came so early. Ximenye saluted from a distance.

Xia Qiu nodded, looked over Ximenye, and saw the dimly lit room.

In the room, there are two pairs of eyes......

Seeing Xia Qiu's eyes, Ximenye's eyelids jumped twice, turned his head to look into the room, and scolded:

"Why are you hiding in the room, the ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her in-laws. ”

As soon as Ximenye's voice fell, there were "oh" sounds in the room over there.

Immediately after, two figures flashed out.

"This ......"

The corners of Xia Qiu's mouth twitched, he just felt that Ximenye's metaphor of "ugly daughter-in-law meets in-laws" was inappropriate, but now it seems that it really means something.

It's not because they're both ugly women.

On the contrary, these are two young men, who are also good-looking, slightly shy, and have the taste of a big boy next door.

However, the coarse cloth clothes on the two people, as well as their messy hair, and mud-stained shoes, are still full of discord.

Xia Qiu set his eyes on Ximenye again, and he wanted an answer.

It's okay for a delegation of scholars to live in such a dilapidated restaurant, and it can be said that it is because of nostalgia, so what is the miserable appearance of the participating members?

Let Mr. Xia smile. Ximenye touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

"Because I want to come to Changqiu to find Han Jin, and I also have to meet Mr. Xia, Xuezong sent me a carriage to send me to Changqiu City. ”

"These two people...... Walking all the way from quicksand to Changqiu, I didn't bring a change of clothes during the trip, didn't this just arrive, so I ......"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu's head was black.

As far as he knew, the quicksand was at least 30,000 li away from Changqiu City, right? Such a long way, how could they actually walk? Even if these two people had the cultivation of transforming into gods, they couldn't help but toss like this.

Besides, would it be very difficult for a scholar to send one or two more carriages?

"Mr. Xia, diligence and thrift, isn't this a traditional virtue, ahem......" Ximenye smiled awkwardly.

"You quicksand scholars, have you become so poor?"

Xia Qiu is a little confused, at most tens of thousands of gold coins, a scholar shouldn't be able to afford it, right?

"What's that...... You can't say you're poor, you're just moderately poor. Ximenye said with a smile.

Xia Qiu swallowed her saliva, she really had nothing to say.

He had a feeling that these two people were ...... In other words, the Quicksand Sect is simply selling miserably.

As for the purpose......

"You don't want me to pay for you to stay in the same place, do you?"

Xia Qiu looked at Ximenye, who was full of embarrassment.

"I didn't ...... How can that...... Absolutely no such idea...... Of course, if Mr. Xia has this kind of thought, we will not refuse. ”

Ximenye and the other two handsome men all smiled.

Summer and autumn straight tooth flowers. This guy is really a goose plucking feathers, and the idea has hit him.

It took a long time for the other two young men to take a shower and change their clothes.

"This is Ke Yu, the strongest shield of our quicksand. ”

Ximenye pointed to the thin, smiling man.

Xia Qiu once again admitted that Quicksand was a surprise scholar. As the "shield" of the team, he is actually such a delicate man.

"This is Little Zero, one of the "brains" of our team. Ximenye pointed to a handsome man with a slightly chubby figure again.

Xia Qiu nodded, what he was more concerned about was the real economic situation of the Quicksand Academy.

"The Quicksand Sect, after all, was once the first sect of Dayan, it can't be so miserable, right?"

Hearing this, Ximenye sighed.
