"Have you heard that the disciple who came first in the Immortal Ascension Conference this time is from Shushan?"

Two miles outside Daxing City, at the Yuelai Inn, three men in gray clothes were sitting at a small table chatting. There were not many people in the inn, only two tables and a few waiters.

Er leaned on the door frame and the table, idly looking at the sunshine outside the door.

The only exception is the waiter. He is about fifteen or six years old, with fair complexion and delicate features. He looks like a smart kid with a bright mind, but he always has a cold face, as if someone owes him a lot of money.

.

If it weren't for the dark blue shorts he was wearing and his long and thin arms exposed, others might have thought he was an aristocratic young man from some family.

At this moment, the waiter boy is leaning on a table, not far or close to the two of them. If you are careful, you will find that this boy is listening to what the three of them are saying with great interest.

"Aren't they actually disciples of the Tianshan Sect this time? Even if that person is gone, they won't be reduced to this!" A man with a black mole at the corner of his mouth asked cautiously. They didn't dare to mention that name. Yu Ziqing

These three words are taboo in the world.

There are several iron swords around them. These swords and cloth bags can prove their identity as casual cultivators. The tall and thin man who started the topic at the beginning is called Zhang Jue, the eldest brother, and the one with the mole on the corner of his mouth is called Zhang Liang, the second brother.

There is also a dark and strong-looking man named Zhang Hei. The three of them are all casual cultivators, and they met by fate. They have already become sworn brothers, so they can have someone to look after them on their way to immortality.

However, the cultivation level of the three of them is not high, so it is good to be able to enter the golden elixir.

"Of course. I heard that the competition was earth-shattering. Li Zongsheng's opponent was the young monk Wu Nian from the Blue Sky Valley. Who was this monk Wu Nian? The immortal Vajra Body on the Golden Lotus Platform shocked the four major sects.

Master, you must know that this immortal Vajra body is a hundred times more powerful than the demonic body of Vajra Buddha. Fortunately, the petty Master Faye of Jiulong Temple was in retreat at the time, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of blood when he saw this immortal Vajra body.

No." Zhang Hei laughed loudly, filled the wine bowl in front of him, and then added more to his eldest brother and second brother.

"Come on, it's as if you were really there." Zhang Juebai glanced at Zhang Hei, "This Immortal Ascension Conference is not a place where ordinary cultivators like us can go. We'd better say less to those leaders to avoid

Someone else overheard it."

He lowered his voice and warned his two companions in a low voice. These casual cultivators have no support and no strength in the world. If a villain hears it, or a disciple from the Blue Sky Valley hears it, the three of them will be in the world from now on.

But there is no good fruit to eat.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Liang, who had a mole on the corner of his mouth, was timid and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He was still at the Nascent Soul level, but in front of the behemoth of Blue Sky Valley, he was like an ant.

The white and fair waiter lowered his eyes and listened carefully to their conversation. This Daxing City is a transit town next to Qinggu City. The Immortal Ascension Conference just ended two days ago, and many immortal cultivators came here. This place on weekdays

The four main cities, which are rarely visited by immortal cultivators, are particularly lively only in these few days. The same is naturally true for Daxing City, which is twenty miles away from Qinggu City.

Many immortal cultivators will choose to stay in inns, because inns are the best places to get information, but this Yuelai Inn is different. Although it is only two miles away from Daxing City and only more than ten miles away from Qinggu City,

But precisely because it is so close to these main cities, there are many guests for meals on weekdays, but very few people staying overnight. After all, living in a big city is much safer than sleeping in the wild.

"Tch." Zhang Hei was a little unhappy. He was always outspoken and would say whatever came to his mind.

"Brother, where should we stay tonight, Yuelai Inn, or should we go to Daxing City?" Zhang Liang asked again. It was getting late outside. Although the sun was still in the sky, it had obviously set to the west in less than an hour.

It will set.

"It's only two steps away from Daxing City. Let's go to Daxing City. I heard that the group of bandits outside Qinggu City are back again. Although we are not afraid of them and don't have any money to rob, we still have to go to Daxing City.

Caution is the boat."

"Yes, yes, I heard that this group of thieves is very vicious. Do you remember that Qinggu City had a new governor two years ago? The new governor's family was attacked by this group of robbers as soon as they walked outside Qinggu City.

The family was wiped out, and every one of them died in such a miserable way, wow, wow, how pitiful!" Zhang Hei, who had always been a carefree man, couldn't help but express pity when talking about this matter.

"Well, let's not talk about the past. There will always be someone to deal with such bullies. Our strength is not strong enough. One day, when we are strong enough, we can help justice." Zhang Jue wanted to cater to Zhang.

Hei also sighed.

These cultivators are quite kind-hearted.

Their words were all heard by the young man not far away. Hearing this, the young man's head became lower and lower. If anyone could see his eyes, they would find crystal tears welling up in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, why is there a reptile in this white fungus soup? Huh? I just want to drink something light, and you want to add meat to me? Come out and explain it to me. Believe it or not, I'm so pleased with you.

Is the inn demolished?" Someone at the next table shouted loudly, silencing the voices of Zhang Hei and his group. The four people were dressed in black, wearing tall hats, and had heavy luggage beside them. They looked like they were passing by.

of businessmen.

But if you look closely at the shoes on their feet, you will find that they are wearing official boots.

There are only two types of people who can wear these official boots here, one is the fast catcher, and the other is the head catcher.

The head catchers are responsible for arresting the immortal cultivators, so they have no time to come outside the city to find trouble. Most of the catchers are ordinary people who are greedy for small profits.

I want to ask the owner of Yuelai Inn why he opened the inn outside the city? It turns out that the owner of this inn is called He Shuang. He is an immortal cultivator. His strength is as strong as Yuanying, and he is already quite good among ordinary people. The government has

It is expressly stipulated that when cultivators open shops and stalls, they must charge high rents and various taxes, as well as an additional protection fee.

It's funny to say that ordinary people would ask immortal cultivators to collect protection fees.

Therefore, He Shuang was unwilling to leave the inn

If you drive in the city, as long as you drive outside the city, don't you need to rent it?

But the Qingg City police officers were unwilling to let go of such an opportunity. In their eyes, immortal cultivators were generally very wealthy. If they couldn't earn the money, they would never let He Shuang's inn open. But they were wrong.

How can ordinary casual cultivators have any spare money? They need to spend money to buy elixirs and make weapons. He Shuang has this purpose. The drinks at Yuelai Inn are very cheap, which is why

This is the reason why many immortal cultivators choose to stay and eat outside the city.

Therefore, a discerning person will know at a glance that these "guest officials" are deliberately looking for trouble.

"Who made the white fungus soup today?" A slightly older waiter hurriedly walked up and asked the casual waiters beside him with a sideways glance. There was also a waiter holding a broom who was about to fall asleep.

There are five waiters in the Yuelai Inn, including Luo Tianyang, who are responsible for serving tea and water. The leader is a larger man named Wang Xiao who looks to be in his twenties. He can be called a small supervisor. On weekdays,

The other four guys are all under his control, so even though he knows that these people are here to cause trouble, he still has to find the source of responsibility.

"It's not me, it's not me." The two waiters shook their heads quickly, and the one who was about to fall asleep woke up from his dream and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"It seems that Xiaoyang is the cause of it."

"Xiaoyang!" Wang Xiao shouted, his voice full of reproach, and there was even a little anger in his frowning eyes.

Luo Tianyang slowly walked away from the corner of the table where he was leaning, and stood humbly at the corner of the table, his eyes wandering.

"it's me."

"How do you do things? You can't even taste the soup. As a punishment, you won't be allowed to have dinner tonight." Wang Xiao's voice became louder, and he immediately frowned and turned to smile at the three guests.

"What do you think, you three? I'll treat you as a villain today and let's just forget about it."

They ordered a lot of dishes, including valuable shrimps, beef, and wild game. They ate everything here and there, with a lot left over. This table of dishes was definitely expensive.

But what should you do without you? This group of official servants came to the store to have Overlord Meal more than once or twice. He Shuang was not angry, he just said that doing more would be better than doing less and let them do as they pleased.

Not far away, Zhang Jue, Zhang Hei, and Zhang Liang also stopped using their chopsticks, and their eyes drifted here.

The immortal cultivators lived in the open and had nothing to eat when they were hungry. It was not surprising that they ate some insects from the mountains, so they didn't think it was anything.

"Do you want a treat? Look at how we look like we have no money. Do you still want a treat?" Several "guest officers" were unhappy, sneered and touched their hands to the official swords at their waists, intentionally or unintentionally.

go.

Official boots, official swords, in addition to official uniforms and official hats, they all wore them, as if to say, even if you know that I am an errand, what can you do to me, I just want to find trouble with you.

They must have put that bedbug in there on purpose, as its legs were still twitching in the soup bowl!

"Then what do you think?" Wang Xiao knew that this matter could not end so easily today. After eating enough of the overlord meal, they wanted to explore He Shuang's bottom line again.

"Isn't this bedbug in the bowl? Ask this boy to eat it for me, and drink every drop of the white fungus soup he cooked for me." A skinny official touched his dark chin.

, smiled maliciously.

"Yeah, drink it, drink this thing, and we won't pursue it anymore." Two other officers echoed from the side.

"Wait a minute, I'll give him some more ingredients!" One of the officials suddenly said again. He bent down and picked up some dust from the ground, then spread it over the bowl of white fungus soup and placed it in front of Luo Tianyang's eyes.

"Don't go too far!" Wang Xiao was so angry that his face was trembling, and a blush spread on his cheeks. He was a manager, and he was also the brother of these waiters on weekdays. How could he let Luo Tianyang drink this bowl of soup.

"If he doesn't drink, then you drink! If you don't drink, I will seal your inn today." The thin official smiled obscenely, with a hint of coldness in his narrowed eyes.

The official sword was thrown on the table.

"This." Wang Xiao was a little embarrassed. No matter what, he would not dare to decide the life and death of Yuelai Inn, not to mention that the manager was not in the inn at the moment.

He turned to look at Luo Tianyang, hesitating whether he should reach out and pick up the bowl, because he had always been the big brother in front of everyone.

Wang Xiao came many years earlier than the others. Most of them were homeless orphans who were adopted by He Shuang, so they all call this place their home, and Wang Xiao is their brother.

But just as he was about to stretch out his hand, a slender hand grabbed the mouth of the bowl.

Luo Tianyang suddenly picked up the bowl on the table, raised his head and put it into his mouth, looking like a brave man with a broken arm.

"Xiaoyang!" Wang Xiao screamed, reaching out to snatch the bowl from his hand.

A bowl of white fungus soup with worms and lime may not kill him, but it will cost him his dignity. Luo Tianyang is still a child. He will still have a great life in the future. Wang Xiao does not want him to be burdened with anything in the future.

Shadow, though none of them would look down upon him.

Zhang Hei and others frowned. They obviously saw something fishy in this, but they also knew that these people in front of them were not easy to mess with. Even Zhang Hei, who always loved to show off, couldn't help it. His hands

The sword has been pressed against the scabbard on the table for a long time.

The atmosphere in the inn was extremely strange, but none of them wanted the child to drink this bowl of soup full of "ingredients".

As for Luo Tianyang, he didn't want to trouble others, not to mention that this was his sister's favorite white fungus soup for him. So what if it was tainted?
