Late at night, Lan Tianying caught up with the team, and everyone stood in front of an inn. A sudden knock on the door made the waiter impatiently open the door, and first greeted everyone.

When the light from the inn allowed him to see clearly the person standing in front of the door, he immediately became energetic, bent down and asked: "Is the guest a guest or staying in an inn?"

"Find a place to park the carriage and serve two tables with good wine and food. I will take care of your house today."

"Okay, all guests please come in~"

The waiter's loud shout attracted the attention of the innkeeper. He narrowed his eyes and saw that all the visitors were dressed in fine clothes. The leader was even more impressive, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and extraordinary bearing. He immediately Welcoming.

"Young master, you must not be a local, right?"

Everyone sat down, Jingxi slapped the Lingxiao Sword on the table and said with a smile: "How can the shopkeeper tell that we are not from the local area with such good eyesight?"

The shopkeeper twisted his mustache and opened his mouth with several big gold teeth dazzling: "Isn't it easy to guess? Bandits are rampant in our area now, and the locals will definitely not be out wandering around so late."

Jingxi nodded and touched the jade finger: "Prepare a few rooms with the best rooms, and hurry up with the food and wine."

"Okay~"

The inn, which was originally suffering from bleak business, became lively again because of the arrival of Jingxi and the others.

The dishes were all served in a short while. Jingxi pulled off a chicken drumstick and started to gnaw on it. He drank a bowl of wine in one sip. The curtain sitting next to him gently tugged on his sleeve and said, "Young master, please don't be greedy~"

Jingxi glanced at Lian'er and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the young master is in a good mood, and he won't get drunk even if he drinks a few more bowls."

Li Dongyang is gobbling up the food on the opposite side, even Liu Huangying's tonnage can't beat him.

"Second Young Master, I saw a lot of corpses on the way here, but did I encounter bandits?"

Jing Xi pointed at Li Dongyang and said: "He has already solved it. I originally wanted to grab my tongue, but I didn't expect that he is quite tough."

Lan Tianying narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Dongyang. He always felt that he looked familiar, as if he was the person who attacked him in Jingzhai that day. When Li Dongyang saw Lan Tianying looking at him, he chuckled and said, "Senior Lan, is there something on Mr. Li's face?"

"Have."

Li Dongyang touched his face in confusion but found nothing.

"have what?"

"A bit in need of a beating!"

As soon as he said this, Jingxi almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He pointed at Li Dongyang and said, "Mr. Lan, this is the guy who attacked you sneakily."

Lan Tianying held fried peanuts between his hands and glanced at Li Dongyang with his eyes like knives: "Even if he is the second young master, I don't care."

Li Dongyang quickly bowed and said: "Senior's swordsmanship is outstanding, and his magnanimity is even more magnanimous. This junior admires me."

At this moment, a hand covered with mud suddenly stretched out from under the table and groped for the food on the table.

After touching it, he touched Liu Huangying's hand. He was so frightened that he jumped up and screamed.

The shopkeeper came over after hearing the sound and saw the dirty hands on the table. He quickly ran to him and apologized: "Master, I'm really sorry. This is a lunatic in the city. I don't know when he slipped under the table. I'm going to Get him out."

"Liu Laizi, come out quickly, you're messing up my business, wait until I break your other leg!"

The shopkeeper ordered the waiter to pull out Cripple Liu from under the table. Jingxi sat and watched an old man in ragged clothes and covered in dirt being dragged out of the table by the waiter by his fluffy and curled white hair.

The old man, known as Liu Laizi, was a lunatic who was beaten up by everyone in the city. He was lame in his left leg and was so thin that he seemed to be blown away by the wind.

At this time, he ignored other people's pulls and just held the duck he took from the table and gnawed it, letting out unruly and unpleasant laughter from time to time.

"Stop, a crazy old man made him eat and run away. Just drive him away and don't hit him!" Lian'er's scolding voice came.

The shopkeeper looked at Jing Xi and seemed to be asking for his opinion again. Jing Xi smiled and said, "Just do as she said. I will pay him as much as he can eat, and it will be charged to my account."

Although the shopkeeper was reluctant, he still let Liu Laizi sit at the empty table and served a lot of food and wine.

Every meal that comes to him is grabbed with both hands and stuffed into his mouth as hard as he can.

Jingxi looked at Lan'er, who pulled on the edge of her skirt with some embarrassment and said, "Master, you won't blame Lan'er, right?"

"How could it be possible? Lian'er is so kind, so naturally he can't stand the suffering of others."

Lan Tianying has been tightening his eyes and frowning ever since Liu Laizi appeared, as if something unclear was swirling in his mind.

"What's wrong with Mr. Lan? Do you think this crazy old man is an eyesore?"

Lan Tianying turned around at Jing Xi's words, twirling his beard and said, "Of course not. I am also from a poor background, so how could I dislike him? It's just... I just think this lunatic looks familiar."

Hearing this, Jing Xi turned around and glanced at Liu Laizi who was holding his hands down and said with a smile: "A pool of water can't wash away the gray on this crazy old man's face. Does this look familiar to you?"

After dinner, everyone went back to the house. The waiter brought hot water. Lan'er took off Jingxi's clothes and shoes. She also wanted to wash his feet, but Jingxi refused and said, "You girl, when will I let you?" Did you do such a thing?”

Lan'er squatted on the ground, raised his little face and said, "The young master brought Lan'er with him as a maid when he went out this time. Of course Lan'er will do this work."

"That's not okay. Come sit here and talk to the young master."

Lan'er stood up and took two steps back alertly, which made Jingxi a little puzzled. Before he could speak, Lan'er walked towards the door and said, "Master, it's better to go to bed early. Lan'er has gone back to the room."

After saying that, he ran away as if running away. Jingxi tilted his head and asked questions. Then he thought about it and couldn't help but laugh to himself. It seemed that this girl was scared of him and didn't dare to sit on the bed.

Jingxi was not in a hurry to go to bed, but instead practiced the Mahavaira Sutra with his legs crossed. Recently, he knew that he had been neglecting his practice. As he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, a thin golden thread circled around his body, illuminating the room. Some flickering.

Outside the house, in the pavilion of the inn, Liu Laizi was lying on a pile of weeds, with the black horse snorting next to him. His dirty eyes glanced at Jingxi's room on the second floor, spit out a piece of bone from his mouth and said: "More than a dozen Cultivating to the fourth level at the age of one can be considered as having some qualifications. If you practice with all your heart, you will be able to achieve great success. It is a pity that a good person is entangled in complicated things and will eventually become a tree without roots, drifting in the wind."

Lying on the bed at the curtain, he curled up under the quilt, holding the extra cylindrical pillow in his arms and pouted: "You stinky boy, you are a bad boy, you make people unable to sleep at night, huh!"

Lan'er's little face was flushed red, and her twinkling almond eyes hid a bit of shyness. She tossed and turned, and finally sat up in annoyance, with three thousand black hair draped over her shoulders, her jade arms hugging her curled knees, and her little feet raised and lowered.

The night is beautiful, and the girl with spring in her arms is even more beautiful.
