Chapter 149 [Landlord and Tenant]
Yuan Lai's eyes made the woman stunned, as if she didn't expect the young man opposite to be so "straightforward", and after being stunned, he just smiled, and sure enough, there was curiosity in his eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Just arrived?" she asked.
Yuan Lai nodded politely, and did not try to take the initiative to provoke the other party, because he sensitively realized that this woman was by no means as gentle and simple as she appeared on the surface, and how could someone who could inadvertently make him show his flaws would be simple? However, although she was not very old, she was no longer young, and it stands to reason that she should not be a candidate for the Tianding Conference, so could it be that she accompanied the juniors here like Kansai? Or could it be a cultivator of the Linjiang Sect? Besides, it was the other sects on the mainland who were invited to judge?
In short, there is no doubt that she is a cultivator, as for what her identity is, Yuan Lai can only guess, but he can't confirm it.
Another thing that made him jealous was ...... He always had a faint illusion, it seemed that this woman paid special attention to the two of herself, and it was not the sudden attention to the junior who came from the sky but a deeper layer. But he clearly had never seen this woman, and the other party should have never seen him, so this strange attention seemed a little strange.
Yuan Lai didn't want to have more to do with the other party, so he saluted and was about to take Youyou along the Anhe Bridge to the villages and towns on both sides of the river, but at this time, the woman also suddenly moved and said, "It's the first time you guys are here." ā
Yuan Lai nodded, but frowned slightly in his heart, not knowing what the other party meant.
"That's right," the woman obviously saw Yuan Lai's doubts in her heart, and explained, "I have a few houses to rent on the shore, I don't know if you need them?"
Yuan Lai was surprised, he didn't expect this strange woman to throw out such a reason, this reason always sounds a little far-fetched, Yuan Lai can ignore it, but he faintly feels that it may not be a good idea to directly refuse, the intuition of cultivators is often very accurate, coupled with Yuan Lai's own character, so he dispelled the original idea with a turn of his mind, and turned to a little interested in the strange woman.
"We don't rent long, just for a short period of time. ā
"Do you want to stay until the end of the Tianding Meeting?"
"Well, maybe you don't have to wait for it to be over before you leave. Yuan Lai smiled faintly, revealing a bit of reasonable humility in his words. Since the Tianding Conference is a competition, then only by winning all the way can you stay to the end, if you lose halfway, it is also the right thing to leave, Yuan Lai estimates that his ability is too weak after all, and the cultivation time is still short, the purpose of this time is to see the world, as for what ranking is not very important.
The woman said indifferently when she heard this: "Of course you can, you can rent it for as long as you want." ā
"That's ...... price"
"How about the price of the inn?"
ā...... Well, let's look at the house. ā
In a few words, it became a deal, and Yoyo was still in a daze, and suddenly realized that the place where he lived had already been chosen, so he was very interesting.
The host and guests informed each other of their names, Yuan came to know that this woman's name was Xiao Bai, I have to say, this name is very suitable for her, her clothes are white, her skin is more snow-white and a little dazzling, and even a little unhealthy pale, Yuan came to see the umbrella that Xiao Bai has been holding, and thought that maybe this woman rarely basks in the sun.
"Let's go, then. ā
Xiao Bai invited, but saw Yuan Lai and asked, "Are you leaving, I thought you came here for something." ā
If soliciting guests was Xiao Bai's purpose, then she would almost have succeeded, but no stupid person would think so.
"It's okay, I was going to wait for someone, but now I don't have to wait. Xiao Bai smiled faintly.
"Why? He didn't come?"
Xiao Bai shook his head, his clothes swayed lightly, and said, "Coming, leaving again." ā
Yuan Lai nodded, without delving into other people's private affairs, Xiao Bai walked in front and the first two people followed behind her. This broken bridge is undoubtedly very long, the average person to the bridge has to ride a horse and a car, rarely walk, the reason why Yuan Lai landed here is more to appreciate the scenery of the broken bridge, but now with Xiao Bai's plan can only be temporarily abandoned, the strange thing is that Xiao Bai did not come by car, so a few people can only walk briskly for a while, and so on to see the people and cars and horses running on the bridge, Xiao Bai beckoned to call a carriage, paid some money and three people took the car to both sides of the Canglang River, the villages and towns on both sides of the river are actually the industry of the Linjiang faction, there are very few residents in Pingtian, most of them are still the relatives of the disciples of the Linjiang faction live here, but it is still extremely lively today, The cultivators who came from all over the Great Apocalypse rarely traveled alone, so when those people invaded this riverside town in a big way, this area became lively.
Walking on the streets, Yuan Lai saw cultivators everywhere, most of them were teenagers and young people, but they were a little different from ordinary towns, and there were also some similarities.
There are also fireworks people, and the local residents incarnate as innkeepers almost at the same time, and the outsiders gradually fill all the houses in the town, and when all the houses are full, the Tianding Conference will begin.
Originally, Yuan Lai should have been a late person, but he was carried by Dao Lin with a white crane, and when he arrived, it was not very late, and even then the traveler was enough to frighten him.
Nowadays, this riverside town is a place full of cultivators, and ordinary people here are rare.
"This is your house, how's that?"
Xiao Bai led them into a large courtyard courtyard, and she pointed to a room on the north side of the courtyard and said.
The courtyard was quiet but not cold, the golden chrysanthemums were splendid, the fruit trees were fragrant, Yuan Lai and Youyou glanced at each other, and they both saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
"Then you're our landlord. Yuan Lai smiled and agreed.
Xiao Bai looked very happy, she swept the fallen leaves on the stone steps in front of the door for Yuan Lai, and pointed to a room on the west side of the courtyard and said: "That's another tenant, who is also participating in the Tianding Conference, you can go for a walk, that person is not bad, but it is a little sour." ā
"Sour?
"Yes, reader. Xiao Bai nodded, and then pointed to another room in the north and said, "This is mine." ā
Yuan came to look around but found that there was still a house on the east side empty, so he asked, "What about this one?"
"I haven't rented it out yet, but seeing that the day is coming, I guess I will rent it out today or tomorrow. ā
Xiao Bai said it easily, then politely said goodbye, still holding her umbrella and turned around and went out, but I don't know if I was looking for the home of the remaining room, the sun was high, the time was noon, when she left, the sun was blocked by the umbrella and cast a flat shadow on the courtyard floor.
"What a weirdo. Yo Yo blew a breath and blew away a tiny white feather that had landed on the tip of her nose out of nowhere.
Yuan Lai stretched his waist, and now that he had settled down, he suddenly felt so tired, so he snorted lazily and said, "Okay, go back to the house and take a bath!"
ps: Maybe there will be a second update tonight, see if you can write it. (To be continued.) )
