readx;
The look of displeasure flashed on his face, and Yu Xiu looked at everything in this inn intentionally or unintentionally while following Yan Piaoxue's steps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I saw that in this huge inn, there were less than twenty people sitting on the ground, and four or five innkeepers were busy in the store.
Of course, this is not the point, the real point is that everyone in the inn at this time, whether it is the diners or the innkeepers, covers themselves tightly, and the whole body is not exposed except for a face and a pair of hands.
Even the head is covered with a tall and large hat, and the only characteristic that can distinguish the diners from the servants is the color of the clothes they wear, the diners are all white plain silk, and the innkeepers are all black clothes and black covers.
This strange dress immediately made Yuxiu feel strange in her heart, and while she was hesitating and thinking, Yan Piaoxue's heartless little girl couldn't help but pull Yuxiu's arm and quickly sat down at a dinner table.
Yuxiu was helpless, so she had to suppress the strangeness and incomprehension in her heart and sat down with her.
At this time, a short guy stepped forward with a smile on his face, and asked as if he was very respectful and polite: "May I ask the two guest officers, what do you want to eat? Our inn can not only accommodate the two of you for the night, but also all kinds of food are also delicious, so you can eat a lot!"
As he spoke, the little guy who smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum blossomed looked Yu Xiu up and down with deep meaning, and his special eyes made Yu Xiu feel uncomfortable for a while.
Even Yu Xiu keenly captured the slight disappointment that flashed when the little guy turned to leave.
This, what kind of inn is this?Why did you make yourself feel so weird and uncomfortable?Yu Xiu's brow furrowed slightly.
However, looking at Yan Piaoxue's curious, joyful and expectant look, Yu Xiu once again suppressed the discomfort in his heart, he really didn't want to ruin Piaoxue's interest because of his groundless suspicions.
But not long after this discomfort was suppressed, Yu Xiu found that the eyes of the surrounding diners once again loomed at the two of them.
Although nothing unusual could be heard from their rough laughter, Yu Xiu faintly felt that the main concern of these people at the moment was definitely not idle talk, but in the eyes that glanced at him from time to time at that time.
And what made Yu Xiu's face even more uncertain was that the eyes of the diners and the innkeepers looking at them seemed to imply a sense of greed, and that feeling, as if a hunter looked at his prey, made Yu Xiu's heart creepy for a while.
The atmosphere in the inn is getting more and more suffocating, no, to be precise, it is becoming more and more suffocating to Yu Xiu, although the diners seem to be very active, and the active center does not seem to have half a penny to do with Yu Xiu and the two, but the keen five senses make Yu Xiu instantly realize that he and Piaoxue have become the focus of their attention.
Suddenly, the white wide sleeves of one of the diners shook violently, and the arm covering the inside suddenly appeared in Yu Xiu's eyes, and this unclear scene completely detonated Yu Xiu's inner doubts.
So, Yu Xiu stood up suddenly, and when the innkeeper brought the food to the table, he caused a small accident in front of people's eyes, so that he took advantage of the situation to pull the sleeve of the little maid and really see the arm he was covering inside.
Sure enough, the little guy's arm and the diner's arm have the same characteristic, that is, they both have hideous black scales, these black scales are not big and inconspicuous, but at the moment when Yu Xiu came to the eye, Yu Xiu's face changed suddenly.
In an instant, a terrifying name came to Yuxiu's mind, a terrifying clan name to be exact.
At this moment, he finally understood why these people were looking at him like prey, and why when he saw that the two of them did not have the slightest aura of cultivators, why a look of disappointment flashed on the little guy's face!
However, Yu Xiu quietly forcibly suppressed it, and the turbulent waves that suddenly rose in his heart tried his best to keep his face calm, thinking about the predicament he might face at the moment.
The suffocating and depressing atmosphere continued to ferment, Yu Xiu immediately got up, grabbed Piaoxue's little hand without saying anything, threw down a silver ingot, and said to the little girl with a smile on his face and grace, "This big brother, I have eaten well with my sister, and I am in a hurry, so I won't stay here, farewell!"
After speaking, Yu Xiu took Yan Piaoxue's hand and walked towards the door of the inn with a puff of smoke, wanting to take the first step out of the way and get away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Seeing the eagerness on Yu Xiu's face, Yan Piaoxue seemed to finally realize that something was wrong, and obediently cooperated with the other party to step away quickly, and did not ask anything out of place.
However, when Yu Xiu and the others were about to come to the door of the inn, they found that the two white-robed diners had tightly blocked the way.
Looking at the playful eyes and unscrupulous gazes of the two diners opposite, Yu Xiu's heart secretly screamed, and his face suddenly turned cold.
At this time, one of the diners smiled and spoke, "Hehe, little brother and sister, are you two in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay and have a drink with our two brothers?"
"Yes, yes, two children with such clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, it's really rare! You don't know, these days have been so hard for the brothers, now that you have sent them to the door, do you think you can still have a chance to leave?
Another diner who was blocking the front said with a smug face, and from time to time he let out a series of extremely harsh and strange jokes, which made even Yan Piaoxue frown slightly.
"What do you mean by this, two big brothers? My brother and sister are in a hurry, please make it easier!" Yu Xiu deliberately pretended not to understand, and said with a smile, but in the palm of his back behind him, a faint light of Xuan Qi energy had already flowed out, as if he was ready to desperately prepare at any time.
But despite this, Yu Xiu's brows were still furrowed, because at this time, he could feel that the cultivation of the two diners in front of him was at least above the Xuanling Realm, and it was probably not so easy to break through their obstacles alone.
But just as Yu Xiu was groaning in his heart, the diner in front of him said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think your brother and sister are still staying here!"
As soon as these words were finished, that is, when Yu Xiu was determined to make a move, two accurate and ruthless hand knives slashed straight at the side necks of Yu Xiu and Yan Piaoxue, knocking the two to the ground in an instant.
Although Yu Xiu felt something, he was held back by the two enemies in front of him, and he was not able to defend against a more powerful enemy from the rear, so he immediately fainted.
As soon as Yu Xiu and Yan Piaoxue were attacked and captured, a young man in his twenties stepped out of the backstage of the inn, only to see that this person was surrounded by the aura of the Emperor Dou Realm, and the black scales on his arms were not concealed at all, and the look of arrogance on his face was even more overflowing.
"See Young Master Gan Ying!" However, in the face of such a young man, everyone in the inn at this time, whether it was a diner or a small servant, whether it was the Xuan Spirit Realm or the Xuan Lord Realm, all bowed down to him in unison.
Everyone's face was filled with a heavy look of awe, not only because the young man's cultivation strength was higher than theirs, but also because of this person's noble status.
The man known as Young Master Gan Ying nodded slightly, "Well, get up, everyone has worked hard!"
After speaking, Gan Ying's footsteps walked straight towards the unconscious Yu Xiu and Yan Piaoxue, but when his eyes keenly saw that there was no cultivator's breath on the bodies of the two children, a man and a woman, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Two children who don't have the slightest cultivation?" Gan Ying's tone was full of dissatisfaction, and the expressions on his face when he looked at Yu Xiu and the two of them also turned into disgusted expressions, but soon, he sighed helplessly, "Forget it, two wastes are just two wastes, that's much better than nothing!"
Hearing Gan Ying's slight sigh, those subordinates in the inn suddenly relaxed slightly, but the Xuan Master Realm who had just shot to stun Yu Xiu couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Young Master Gan Ying, Lord Earl, he won't blame us for these two wastes, right?"
Gan Ying shook his head lightly, "It shouldn't be, this business is not easy to do now, especially in our stronghold, we haven't caught such a child for more than ten days, and Lord Earl also understands this, so he will be considerate of our subordinates!"
After he said this, those subordinates were immediately relieved, and the nervous look on their faces relaxed a lot, obviously feeling that their 'efforts' today were not in vain.
"Okay, since we have successfully captured the prey this time, let's keep these two little babies in an underground cell and lock them up for the time being!"
Gan Ying gave the next order to his men, and then turned around and returned to the backstage of the inn, obviously he was already bored by the so-called waste of Yu Xiu, and he didn't even want to take a second look.
But those subordinates didn't care at all, and a few cultivators in the Xuanling Realm hurriedly stepped forward and carried Yu Xiu and Yan Piaoxue to the underground cell.
I don't know how long I was in a coma, but when Yu Xiu's consciousness gradually woke up and her eyes slowly opened, she saw a young man of the same age as herself, with clear eyebrows, squatting beside him, calling to himself softly, "This son, wake up, wake up!"
Seeing that the young man's continuous attempt to wake up Yu Xiu was unsuccessful, the voice of another young man not far away suddenly sounded.
"I said Xue Xuan, don't do useless work here, this kid doesn't even have the slightest cultivation, it's no different from a waste, being knocked out like this, it's impossible to wake up for a while!"
The young man who was called Xue Xuan didn't answer, just glanced at the other party, then turned his head again and prepared to continue, but at this moment, the hazy Yu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness suddenly sobered up.
Whew! With a long breath, Yu Xiu's two eyes quickly adapted to the slightly dim light around him, followed by the handsome little face of the young Xue Xuan, which was full of joy, and was the first to meet Yu Xiu's eyes.
"What kind of place is this?" Yu Xiu remembered the scene of being knocked unconscious in the inn before, and then looked at the environment around him, and suddenly couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"This is the underground of that inn, the cell where those people are temporarily holding us!" replied the young Xue Xuan with a slight expression.
When Yu Xiu heard this, he immediately understood the current situation of himself and the others, and looked at the other five children in the cell, including Yan Piaoxue, who were almost the same age, and his heart seemed to be more confirmed in his heart, the identity of those people with bad intentions in the inn before.
