Xu Chen was naturally observing all this, although he didn't want to sit and eat with strangers, but when he saw Scarface's overreaction, he was also surprised.

However, what surprised him even more was that he accidentally glanced at Scarface's right hand holding chopsticks, and he knew that it was no ordinary hand.

Although Scarface was holding chopsticks, Xu Chen could still vaguely see that there was a trace on the tiger's mouth of that hand, which was a trace of holding a sword that only a cultivator possessed.

Ordinary martial artists hold swords all year round, and naturally they will leave marks on the tiger's mouth, but they will only be stiff calluses.

However, the hand of the cultivator holding the sword is different, and the cultivator needs to attach the aura gathered in the body to the weapon when fighting, and it is precisely because of this that because the aura constantly passes through the palm to guide the weapon, the hand of the weapon held by the practitioner will not only not have calluses, but will become white and tender and fresh because of the perennial nourishment of the aura, and the part that often touches the weapon is even more so.

Therefore, as long as he is a cultivator, he will definitely leave marks on his palm, and it will not recede for the rest of his life.

Xu Chen saw all this, and naturally had a little mustard, although he knew that the other party was also a cultivator, but he didn't know the other party's cultivation, but since he didn't know the other party's cultivation, it proved that the other party's cultivation must be above himself.

"Oh, nothing, we're just here to ask. ”

Xu Chen said casually, he didn't want to make a fuss, and pulled Lao Wang around and was about to leave.

Who knows, at this moment, a peaceful and sweet voice sounded behind the two.

"Well, it's all right! Sit down, we're going to finish our meal soon." ”

Xu Chen and the others slowly turned around when they heard this, and it was the woman who had been lowering her head just now, but now that they saw her face clearly, they could only call her a girl.

This girl is petite, with a delicate and handsome face, and she doesn't look much older than Xu Chen, at most she is twenty years old.

Although she was wearing coarse linen clothes, the temperament and beautiful face that flowed from her eyebrows shocked Xu Chen's body.

Of course, Xu Chen is not a womanizer, what he was surprised by was the indescribable temperament of the other party, if it could only be described in one word, probably only the word "noble" was worthy of her.

At this time, Scarface looked at the girl with a puzzled expression, "This ......"

"Uncle, aren't we almost finished eating? ”

The girl replied softly.

Uncle?

Of course Xu Chen would not believe that the two of them had such a relationship, although he had never been in the rivers and lakes, but with Scarface's respect for the girl and even a little humble expression, he knew that this Scarface was probably the girl's entourage.

"Then, sit here!"

Scarface said coldly at Xu Chen and the others.

Xu Chen and the others were not polite, and sat down slowly.

Maybe it was because Scarface's fierce eyes just now made Lao Wang a little afraid, so he slowly sat down opposite Scarface and tried to stay away as much as possible. And Xu Chen had no choice but to sit opposite the girl.

Xiao Er came over to say hello, Xu Chen ordered some food and waited quietly.

They are all strangers, in fact, they just order and eat by themselves, who would think, Lao Wang seems to be addicted to breaking into the rivers and lakes again, coupled with the politeness of the girl just now, he put his hands on the table, looked at the girl and said softly: "Thank you, girl! How old are you this year? What is your name? Can you get married?"

Chatting is the joy of life for Lao Wang, and it is also a way to communicate with others, which he believes is a universal truth. Just like what he said to Xu Chen, there are rivers and lakes everywhere in this world, as long as the rivers and lakes use my method, it is right.

However, Lao Wang didn't expect that before the girl could react, the scarred face opposite him had already glared angrily, "You also called the girl, let you sit here to take care of you, you just eat your food, and the rest don't ask!"

"Oh!"

Like a child who has done something wrong, Lao Wang replied shyly and then lowered his head and said no more, it seems that he is indeed afraid of Scarface.

The girl just smiled apologetically and said nothing.

However, at this time, Xu Chen was a little unbearable, although he didn't like Lao Wang's self-familiar personality, but Scarface did do a little too much.

"This ...... Hmmm......"

Xu Chen suddenly didn't know what to call the other party, and said coldly: "Are you a little excessive, Master Wang just wants to thank this girl, why do you reprimand him like this, he is not a slave of your family!"

"Oh?"

Scarface looked at Xu Chen with a sneer, as if no one had ever dared to talk to him like this, and sneered: "What's the matter, little brother is a little dissatisfied?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Chen did not show weakness, "It is also a guest staying in the hotel, why should you reprimand it!"

"That's what I'm like, it's still when I'm good-tempered, if I ......"

The killing intent in Scarface's eyes resurfaced, but the girl tugged at the placket of her clothes and said no more.

"Humph!"

Xu Chen snorted coldly and said, "Even if he may not have as high a status as you, he is not like you who has a body of cultivation, but he is also a human being, even if you can dislike it, it is not your turn to bully and reprimand!"

I don't know why, Xu Chen was a little excited, this is not his character at all, probably remembering what happened to him.

Scarface was stunned, originally because of the little girl's pull, he had barely suppressed the anger in his heart, but when he heard Xu Chen say the word Xiuwei, he looked at Xu Chen again.

Unconsciously clenched his fists, Scarface didn't want to make a move, and if he wanted to, he would never use his fist, but the long sword behind his back, he just realized where he had exposed his identity.

"I really can't see that there is such a clear-eyed person in this small inn in the wilderness who can see that I am ......"

Scarface looked at Xu Chen coldly, although the killing intent had risen, his face was calm, he knew how dangerous it was to reveal his identity.

Looking at the other party's slightly meaningful expression, Xu Chen realized that he had said too much, and said casually, "I just guessed." In order to convince the other party, he also deliberately glanced at the long sword on the other party's back.

Scarface's face was still cold, his brows were frowned, he originally thought that Xu Chen was also a cultivator, but when he probed, he found that the meridians in Xu Chen's body were clogged everywhere, and Xu Chen glanced at the long sword behind him, and finally put his mind at ease.

"Little brother, you have to be careful when you talk in the future, carrying a long sword on your back doesn't necessarily mean that you have cultivation. ”

Scarface's tone was grim, more like a threat.

"Humph!"

Xu Chen said coldly: "Then please encourage yourself!"

The tone was full of gunpowder.

At this moment, the girl opposite Xu Chen suddenly spoke: "Oh! It's my uncle who did something wrong, he ...... He has always had a bad temper and is used to it, but he is kind-hearted, so please forgive me. ”

After speaking, she also smiled apologetically at Lao Wang and Xu Chen.

Lao Wang glanced at it and said timidly: "Oh! don't worry! don't worry!"

It seems that Lao Wang has realized at this time that although there are rivers and lakes everywhere in this world, the rivers and lakes everywhere are not the same.

Thinking of this, Lao Wang pulled Xu Chen's clothes under the table and signaled to stop arguing.

In fact, Xu Chen didn't want to expose his identity, after all, his cultivation was too low, and if he didn't do it, he would get angry, so he smiled politely at the girl, and then stopped saying anything, and no longer paid attention to Scarface.

At this time, it happened that the food he ordered had already come up, and he and Lao Wang only ate some dry food that day, and when they saw the fragrant food, they ate it in small bites.

Isn't it very comfortable to sit and eat with strangers, Xu Chen subconsciously ate faster, and Lao Wang on the side should be unwilling or afraid to see Scarface's eyes again, and he ate much faster than before.

In this way, Xu Chen and Lao Wang were originally later, but they finished eating before those two.

was a stranger, and after a quarrel at the dinner table, there was naturally no friendly goodbye. Xu Chen and Lao Wang returned to the room on the second floor by themselves, as usual, the two did not talk much, because they had to hurry the next day, and they went to sleep after washing up.

It should be an extremely ordinary day, but sometimes it is not easy to be ordinary, and sometimes even if you lie quietly, you will be hit by an arrow. Unless you don't take the wrong step at every step, such as going on the wrong road, staying in the wrong store, or meeting the wrong person.

It was late at night.

Lao Wang's snoring once again woke Xu Chen up.

"This is to let me get up and admire the moon again!" Xu Chen said self-deprecatingly, he knew that this night's sleep was over again, but fortunately, he could still sleep in the carriage during the day, but Lao Wang couldn't, because he still had to drive. This is also the reason why he never woke Lao Wang up and went back to sleep.

Xu Chen got up quietly, came to the window quietly, and quietly admired his moon.

At this time, he was far away from his hometown, and only this bright moon in the sky made him feel that his mother had actually been by his side all along, and subconsciously, he once took out the jade sword from his neckline, looked at it, and missed it.

He never figured out what the swimming bloodshot in the jade sword was, but after a long time, he didn't think about it anymore, since it was weird, then let it be weird.

"I'll kill you! I'll ...... I'll kill you and let you train me!"

At this time, Lao Wang's dream began again.

Maybe he was used to it, Xu Chen was not surprised, but thinking about the content of Lao Wang's dream words, Xu Chen couldn't help but wonder, probably dreaming of Scarface reprimanding him during dinner.

"Huh!"

Xu Chen looked at the sleeping old Wang and smiled, but he was quite sad, "Actually, it's good, I was bullied in reality, but I can return it sooner or later in my dream." ”

To put it bluntly, although Lao Wang claims to be a person from the rivers and lakes, he is still an honest man in the end.

However, at this moment, Xu Chen's smiling face looking at Lao Wang slowly stiffened, the smile gradually faded, and the ensuing expression changed extremely quickly and was extremely complicated.

From surprise to horror, from panic to alertness, from alertness to calm, calm with murderous intent.

In a moment he ducked to the side of the window, leaning sideways and looking out vigilantly.

I don't know how long it took, more than a dozen black-clothed people walked out of the jungle behind the inn one after another, and the steel knives in their hands were brightened by the moonlight, and slowly approached the inn.

"There should be more than that. ”

Xu Chen muttered in his heart, because he could feel that there should be two more people in that jungle, and it should be two cultivators.

He gritted his teeth and went back to the bed to get dressed quickly, he didn't know what these people were here for, but it wasn't going to be a birthday present at night.
