Chapter 101: Goodbye Wood Shopkeeper
After returning to the inn, Ren Xiaoyao and Mu Lingqing were meditating and practicing in their respective rooms, and in less than an hour, a guest came to Ren Xiaoyao's guest room, and this person was the wooden shopkeeper who had not been seen for more than a year.
"I've seen the wooden shopkeeper. Ren Xiaoyao bowed very politely, and there was not too much strange color. Since the killing order changed, Ren Xiaoyao guessed that it might be the ghost of the wooden shopkeeper, and sure enough, it was so.
"Brother Yang, you're welcome, since I saw the killing order, I knew you were here. Although I don't know why Lingqing's girl didn't listen to me and came here, it was obviously a last resort, thanks to Brother Yang's care along the way. Seeing Ren Xiaoyao's calm face, the wooden shopkeeper flashed with a strange look on his face, revealing a hint of appreciation.
"I can't talk about taking care of each other, Miss Mu and I just take care of each other along the way, on the contrary, she has saved me a few times along the way. Ren Xiaoyao beckoned the wooden shopkeeper to sit down, poured two cups of low-grade spiritual tea, and said lightly.
"Brother Yang is polite, I don't know about that girl in Lingqing, even if the realm is higher than Brother Yang, but when it comes to really fighting with people, Brother Yang is still too bad. If she can save Brother Yang a few times, Brother Yang must be able to save her many more times. However, now that you have come to the Red Clay City, let it pass all the dangers it has experienced before. I don't know if Brother Yang can tell me what happened in the Misty Mountain?"
"Why didn't the wooden shopkeeper ask Miss Mu, she knows this matter better than me, and since the wooden shopkeeper is here, why don't you go to see your granddaughter who hasn't seen you for so long?" Ren Xiaoyao asked with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The wooden shopkeeper was seen by Ren Xiaoyao like this, and his old face suddenly turned red, and he was a little embarrassed. Although he is now a cultivator of the eleventh order of qi refining, Ren Xiaoyao is kind to him, and he and Ren Xiaoyao do not intersect with each other with strength.
"That's it, it seems that Brother Yang, you can also see it, I won't go around the corner. Lingqing's girl has to be taken care of by Brother Yang, although there is a transaction in it, but Brother Yang has done far more than the content of the transaction, so I must thank Brother Yang. Now that Brother Yang has sent Lingqing to Red Earth City, it can be regarded as in my hands, and at this point, the transaction is over, so I came here to take Lingqing away. As for the reason why you are here, since Brother Yang is unwilling to say it, then forget it, I will ask Lingqing at that time. I don't know if there are any problems with these Yang brothers?" asked the wooden shopkeeper casually.
"I don't have any problems, the wooden shopkeeper can take the wooden girl away at any time. Ren Xiaoyao continued to say lightly, he had expected this result a long time ago, and he himself was unwilling and had no excuse to let Mu Lingqing stay any longer.
"But I'm afraid that at this moment, Lingqing's girl won't want to go with me. You also know Brother Yang's situation yourself, the strength of the Golden Immortal Demon Hunting Group is very high in the entire Red Earth City. Although I have also joined a good demon hunting group, it is still much worse than the Golden Immortal Demon Hunting Group. When I saw the killing order, I used all my savings to help you two talk about it, but Brother Yang really offended the Golden Immortal Demon Hunter Group too much, and they were unwilling to give up the killing of Brother Yang, and they almost became angry with me because of it. In this case, I can only spend all my savings to get them to revoke the killing of Lingqing. ”
Speaking of this, the wooden shopkeeper looked apologetic, and seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was expressionless and did not speak, he had to continue.
"Brother Yang, you have great kindness to me and Lingqing, but in this situation, I can't do anything. Although I am already the eleventh order of Qi refining, the possibility of being able to build a foundation in this life is very small, and my only wish is to let Lingqing build a foundation and let her go further on the path of cultivating immortals, so I don't want her to encounter any danger. I came this time to break the deal with Brother Yang and take her away, but also to take her out of the whirlpool. ”
The wooden shopkeeper went around and around, but it still went around to his true thoughts. But Ren Xiaoyao is a little confused, the matter has been said to this, this wooden shopkeeper seems to be speechless and stopping, why is it?
"The wooden shopkeeper's behavior is understood, and the wooden shopkeeper can also take away the wooden girl at will, I don't know what the wooden shopkeeper has to say, just say it. Ren Xiaoyao didn't want to go around the bend anymore, and directly pointed to the theme.
"Okay, since Brother Yang understands my difficulties, I will also make it clear. I can see that Lingqing's girl has developed a feeling of trust and dependence on you during this time with Brother Yang, if I take her away at this time, she is afraid that she will be unwilling, and even have conflicts with my grandfather because of this, this is not what I want to see. So I want to ask Brother Yang to help make a scene, and just say that you have a way to get out, but only if you act separately from her,......"
After Ren Xiaoyao picked out his words very clearly, the wooden shopkeeper no longer went around the corner, and directly said the purpose again. It turned out that he wanted to take Mu Lingqing away, and he also wanted Mu Lingqing to go with him willingly, and this qiē had to be cooperated by Ren Xiaoyao to accompany him in a play.
Listening to the words of the wooden shopkeeper, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes moved, he lowered his head and thought there for a few seconds, and then said expressionlessly:
"Good!"
Then, under the detailed explanation of the wooden shopkeeper, Ren Xiaoyao understood all the details of this scam.
After that, the wooden shopkeeper secretly left Ren Xiaoyao's room, and then pretended to miss Mu Lingqing's door very much. When Mu Lingqing saw that it was her grandfather, she immediately cried so much that she poured out all the lovesickness she had had for more than a year. During this period, Mu Lingqing also told the wooden shopkeeper about the affairs of the Misty Mountain and all the encounters on the edge of the Demon Beast Forest. The wooden shopkeeper listened to Mu Lingqing's narration, his heart was worried, and his face was full of surprise, especially when he heard Mu Lingqing say that the two of them had successfully crossed the level several times, the wooden shopkeeper was also excited. You must know that among Qi refining cultivators, although the gap in rank is not as large as that between high-level cultivators, this leapfrogging challenge is something that only a few people are capable of doing. When he heard that Ren Xiaoyao had two high-grade spiritual weapons and several medium-grade spiritual weapons, the wooden shopkeeper was not only surprised, but also envious. He knew that Ren Yao was free at the time, poor and white, but he didn't expect to see him in a short period of time, and he actually had such a net worth, it seemed that he had a good chance!
However, no matter how good the luck is, it has come to an end now, and a sixth-order Qi refining monk is hated by such a powerful demon hunting group, and the result is obvious. Thinking of this, the wooden shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little pity for Ren Xiaoyao's talents, but what made him even more regretful was that Ren Xiaoyao had so many good things on his body, and he was about to become the Golden Immortal Demon Hunter Group.
Mu Lingqing was happy to see the wooden shopkeeper, and he pulled the wooden shopkeeper to talk for more than an hour, only to remember that he didn't tell Ren Xiaoyao, and then pulled the wooden shopkeeper to Ren Xiaoyao's room. Ren Xiaoyao looked at the wooden shopkeeper with a look of surprise and a hint of joy as directed by the wooden shopkeeper, and bowed very politely. After the wooden shopkeeper also greeted Ren Xiaoyao politely, he asked some irrelevant words left and right, which led the topic to the killing order.
At this time, Ren Xiaoyao appropriately expressed a trace of worry, and more composure. The wooden shopkeeper was very concerned and proposed some of the buildings, but they were all vetoed by Ren Xiaoyao. In the end, Ren Xiaoyao proposed a seemingly feasible escape method, which was to let the wooden shopkeeper leave with Mu Lingqing at a special moment, while Ren Xiaoyao left alone from another channel. This method has been repeatedly negotiated with Ren Xiaoyao before the wooden shopkeeper, and it sounds very feasible. Even Mu Lingqing still had to bear some dangers here, which made Ren Xiaoyao apologize to the wooden shopkeeper and Mu Lingqing many times, and he didn't want to use this method several times. In the end, at Mu Lingqing's insistence, this escape method was adopted.
In this way, after the escape method that had already been planned for a long time, the wooden shopkeeper took Mu Lingqing away and quickly left the Red Earth City. And Ren Xiaoyao stayed alone in Red Earth City, locked up in the inn for several days to find a way.
In the room, Ren Xiaoyao was holding a bottle and looking at it intentionally or unintentionally. This bottle contains more than a dozen medium-grade spirit pills, which were secretly given to Ren Xiaoyao by the wooden shopkeeper as an apology, and Ren Xiaoyao did not accept it politely.
The wooden shopkeeper came to Ren Xiaoyao's room for the first time, and before leaving, Ren Xiaoyao asked how much hope he had for survival in this crisis, but the wooden shopkeeper just smiled bitterly, shook his head, and did not answer. This silent answer is the most effective answer, although the wooden shopkeeper has always expressed his apologies, but Ren Xiaoyao still feels a trace of sadness in the hot and cold state of the world. This sadness was mixed with confusion about the road ahead and fear of the killing order, so that Ren Xiaoyao didn't have much heart to cultivate in the past few days.
Ren Xiaoyao has also been to some stalls in the past few days, there is no doubt that Ren Xiaoyao has become "famous" in Red Clay City, and everyone looks at him with the eyes of a dying person. None of them were willing to talk to Ren Xiaoyao, and of course they didn't dare to offend him, for fear that this lifeless man would suddenly go crazy and pull the back before he died. Ren Xiaoyao had seen a few good things in the stalls, but the stall owners hurriedly collected the stalls, and left directly without even setting up the stalls.
During this period, the Golden Immortal Demon Hunting Group did not appear in front of Ren Xiaoyao, but Ren Xiaoyao was sure that they were secretly observing. Ren Xiaoyao never goes to a place with few people, he goes to a place with a lot of people when he goes out, and after returning to the inn, he opens the defensive circle and cultivates wholeheartedly.
Although it is a predicament now, even so, as long as Ren Xiaoyao has not given up hope, he will not give up cultivation. A few days ago, his cultivation was slightly affected by this predicament, but a few days later, Ren Xiaoyao was locked in his room to cultivate.
After seven days in a row, Ren Xiaoyao's cultivation was successful, and then he went out of the room to take a breath. Through the seven days of crazy cultivation, Ren Xiaoyao's state of mind has also been stabilized, and he is no longer worried about the killing order of the Golden Immortal Demon Hunting Group, and even he has a preliminary way to deal with it.
