Chapter Twenty-Four: The Yunlai Inn Converges
On the lively and noisy street, there are all kinds of people.
A rich squire in a brocade robe with a lot of money around his waist, a little beggar in ragged clothes and unkempt faces, a passing merchant in a hurry, and a gentleman who has nothing to do...... People come and go, and there is an endless stream.
In the crowd, Bai Yu and Shi Yifei walked side by side. Bai Yu strutted with his head held high, but Shi Yifei looked casually and listless.
"Brother Bai, a girl from other people has lowered her cheeks and taken the initiative to invite you to dinner, how can you bear to refuse it all at once!" Shi Yifei grabbed Bai Yu and said very regretfully.
Bai Yu didn't speak, just stared at him. Shi Yifei's eyes dodged, and he asked weakly, "What are you doing?"
"I think you want to eat with that girl. Bai Yu said with a chuckle.
"Uh......" His mind was seen through at once, and Shi Yifei suddenly stuttered a little.
"Good, good...... Even if I wanted to eat with her, a discerning person would know at a glance that they had invited us because of you. You've rejected someone's kindness. Alas!" Shi Yifei patted Bai Yu's shoulder and let out a long sigh.
"I was in a hurry to find someone just now, but I didn't think it through for a while, the next time I have the opportunity to meet him, I'll accompany that girl!" was pulled by Shi Yifei like this, Bai Yu felt that his attitude just now was indeed a bit rude.
"Looking for someone?" Shi Yifei was just puzzled, and immediately knew who Bai Yu was looking for.
"Oh, yes. It seems that there are still your senior brother and unruly sister who were with you before. ”
"Brother Yifei. My junior sister is just a little naughty and doesn't have any ill will towards you. Please don't mind. ”
"Brother Bai, you can rest assured. I, Shi Yifei, am not the kind of person with a small belly!" Shi Yifei always has a bright smile on his face, which makes people look very comfortable.
"What, are you separated?"
"I parted from them two days ago because I was in a bit of a hurry to deal with. I had made an appointment to meet at the gate of Yunjian Villa tomorrow, but because my affairs were done in advance, I came back to them. Bai Yu naturally didn't tell him about going to find Leng Yue.
"Brother Bai means you want me to help you find it?" Although Shi Yifei's martial arts skills are mediocre, his reaction is still very agile.
"Clever!" Bai Yu gave a thumbs up and praised bluntly, "I don't know anyone here, and I don't know where to find them, and I just happened to run into you, so I ......"
Shi Yifei lowered his head and walked forward slowly. He touched his chin with his index finger and thumb, and his dark eyes rolled, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration in his eyes, and he snapped his fingers.
"Brother Bai, your martial arts are so powerful, you beat those people to the ground just now, or you can take me as an apprentice! As a disciple, I will definitely help you find the master and uncle. Shi Yifei patted his chest and swore solemnly.
Bai Yu glanced at him, and he couldn't imagine that he would have such a wishful thinking.
Bai Yu didn't reply and strode forward, then shook his hand behind his back and said, "No." If you accept disciples without my master's consent, you will be scolded to death. ”
was rejected by Bai Yu, and Shi Yifei immediately withered.
"However, it is okay for me to give you a few tips in private as a friend. Bai Yu added.
Shi Yifei immediately came to life again when he heard the latter sentence, chased after him with a smile, and asked excitedly: "Brother Bai, are you really willing to teach me?"
"Do I seem to be the kind of person who talks big, you can take me to my brother and sister now!" Bai Yu looked around along the road, but still to no avail. Only then did he turn his head and say to Shi Yifei.
"Yes, yes, the little brother said the wrong thing. Big Brother Bai must be a man of his word. I think your senior brother and sister must be at the Yunlai Inn. ”
Yunlai Inn
Looking from afar, the three-storey luxury building of the Yunlai Inn has come into view.
The dark brown walls exude a quaint and stable atmosphere, and the golden yellow signboard sparkles in the bright sun.
The roof is green and vermilion, and the eaves are like an eagle flying high with wings, which is very spectacular. Two copper bells hang from the slightly upturned eaves on both sides, swaying gently in the wind, making a pleasant ringtone.
The Danying carved tree in the restaurant, carved beams and embroidered columns, with sufficient light and bright vision, is worthy of being the largest restaurant in Black Rock City.
The hall of the restaurant was full, except for those regular customers who frequented in the past, most of them were martial arts people with raw faces.
These people are talkative when they drink alcohol, and the people who practice martial arts are full of anger and loud voices, so the hall of this restaurant is much noisier than usual.
A few shopkeepers were like small fish in the hall, shuttling quickly and orderly in the hall, and shouting in that crisp voice from time to time.
"A pot of good daughter red, a plate of beef with a roast duck, and a plate of greens. ”
"A pot of Longjing tea, three plates of signature pastries. ”
"Braised pig's trotters, steamed sea bass, and braised spring bamboo shoots"
......
The names of all kinds of dishes are pulled by the neat little mouth of the shop, which sounds very pleasing to the ear. Looking at the table of delicious food with all the colors and aromas is really mouth-watering.
Here, sour, spicy, sweet, stir-fried, boiled, flying in the sky and swimming in the water, you can eat as long as you want.
Of course, only if you have enough silver.
"Senior brother, why are there so many people today?"
Ziyu was wearing a lilac skirt robe, elegant and beautiful, exuding a unique body fragrance of a young girl, looking at the restaurant hall that was much noisier than the previous two days, and said with some irritation.
"Tomorrow is the day of the Heroes Conference, and the Eight Great Sects and some other martial arts people are here, so there must be a lot of people. Shen Liu looked indifferent.
"Then you don't have to crowd into this restaurant. ”
"Do you know who the big boss of this restaurant is?"
"Who?" Ziyu asked curiously, her eyes widening suddenly.
"Cloud Sword Villa. Shen Liu said four words calmly. "It's a status symbol to be able to live here, and it's the best inn in Blackrock. ”
"Unexpectedly, this Yun Zhentian is not only strong in martial arts, but also has such a big family property, no wonder even the people of the Eight Great Sects regard him as the head of the horse. ”
After Shen Liu and Ziyu chatted, they drank tea quietly. After a while, a familiar voice sounded.
"Senior brother, senior sister. ”
"Second Senior Brother, how did you know we were here!" Shen Liu and Ziyu raised their heads at the same time, and after seeing that familiar handsome face, Ziyu stood up happily.
Shi Yifei was standing behind Bai Yu and happened to be blocked, so Ziyu and the others didn't see him at first.
At this time, Shi Yifei poked out half of his head from behind Bai Yu, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, and greeted with a smile.
"Brother Shen, Purple Jade Girl. Hello, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. As he spoke, he took a slight step forward and stood next to Bai Yu.
Compared to Shen Liu, who had been lukewarm sitting in the chair, Ziyu's reaction was a bit exaggerated, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Dead pile!"
Although this made Shi Yifei so angry that he blew his beard and glared, it still couldn't stop Ziyu from continuing to damage him.
So, she said to Bai Yu with a suspicious face: "Second Senior Brother, you said that you wanted to make friends with him in the restaurant that day, but I thought you were just talking. You didn't leave us for two days just to find him, did you?"
"Yes! You're right. As soon as Bai Yu wanted to speak, Shi Yifei immediately took the lead and cut him off.
"Big Brother Bai, this is called a discerning hero. knew that I, Shi Yifei, was a decent gentleman worthy of intercourse, so he came to me. ”
Ziyu was speechless when she was refuted, and could only leave a sentence angrily: "It's so thick-skinned!"
Seeing that the two were fighting as soon as they met, Bai Yu was also very helpless, but there was one thing he was secretly happy in his heart - that is, unintentionally, Shi Yifei's appearance helped him completely cover up the matter of going to Leng Yue.
"Alright, alright, junior sister. Brother Yifei, sit down. In order to avoid the mutual damage of the two people's chatter, Bai Yu still stopped Ziyu first, and beckoned Shi Yifei to sit down.
"Big brother. I'll sit with you, or I'll lose my appetite for him. With that, Ziyu sat directly next to Shen Liu.
Shen Liu is burly, and there is not much space left at the ends when he sits in the middle of the chair.
Therefore, as soon as Ziyu sat down, the bodies of the two people were close together, and even through the clothes, they could feel each other's body temperature and the faint body fragrance.
Ziyu's actions caught Shen Liu off guard, and the feeling of such intimate contact on his body for the first time made him panic. He shifted his stiff body to the other end of the chair.
"Hey, that's exactly what I want. lest you wait and be sprayed with tea for no reason!"
Shi Yifei grinned, sat down and unceremoniously picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp, and then said with a smile instead of anger.
"Senior Brother Bai. Have you done your business?" Of course, Shen Liu didn't take their words seriously, so he asked Bai Yu directly.
"Hmm. I'll come to look for you when the matter is done, but fortunately I met Brother Yifei, otherwise I really don't know where to look for you. Bai Yu took a sip of tea and said softly. And Ziyu and Shi Yifei quieted down when they saw the two of them talking.
"Ziyu and I have been walking around the city for the past two days, and it seems that everything is calm and not as bad as we imagined. ”
"yes. Didn't you say that this was a place where people in the Demon Sect often frequented? How could my senior brother and I not even see a shadow of a person from the Demon Sect? "Ziyu seems to be very excited whenever she talks about the Demon Sect.
"Hehe, as soon as you hear this, you know that it comes from the mouth of the kind of person who speaks without a brain. ”
Shi Yifei slapped Ziyu defenselessly, so angry that she frowned, her apricot eyes widened, she was really a pair of living enemies.
"Now Black Rock City has gathered people from the eight major sects, as well as other martial arts masters who like to be alone. If the people of the Demon Sect still dare to swagger down the street at this time, they will definitely come to find death. After Shi Yifei finished speaking, he threw a peanut into his mouth.
"Brother Yifei is right. If this continuous disappearance of girls was really the work of the Demon Sect, they must be prepared and will not just sit idly by. Bai Yu nodded.
"Senior Brother Bai is right, it seems that this is going to be a vicious battle!" Shen Liu also said with a solemn expression.
The calm before the storm is oppressive.
There was a lot of noise in the restaurant, and many of them were talking about this and tomorrow's heroes. They are obviously much quieter here.
Just as they were savoring the delicious snacks on the table, a clear man's voice came.
"I've seen Shen Liu Shaoxia, Bai Yu Shaoxia and Purple Jade Woman. ”
