As the two of them walked and talked, Xu Qingyan saw a staggering figure coming towards him out of the corner of his eye, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol.

The other party stumbled and rushed towards him.

Just as he was about to fall on top of him, Xu Qingyan reached out his hand.

“Pah.”

He grabbed the other person's wrist, and with a little effort, he lifted the other person's entire body in front of him, and then put it down.

It was like a puppet carrying a piece of cargo.

The drunk man in front of him seemed to be unable to react and looked at the boy in front of him in panic.

Then I saw Xu Qingyan looking at me with a smile and saying.

“Watch the road.”

The drunk man hurriedly said, "No, sorry... sorry."

"It's okay." Xu Qingyan let go of his hand, and the drunk staggered away.

Pei Yu didn't care much about this little episode, because in her opinion, such things just happen in the world, strange and bizarre.

They are all the best interpretations of human nature.

She just looked at Xu Qingyan with some confusion, "What are you standing there for?"

Unexpectedly, the boy turned around with a smile, holding a very hidden note in his hand.

"It seems... we were noticed as soon as we came in."

Pei Yu realized something and immediately turned around to look in the direction where the drunkard had left, only to find that he had already disappeared.

"What's written on it?"

Pei Yu frowned and asked.

Xu Qingyan opened it and took a look, then said, "Master Pei, we have a place to live now."

"ha?"

On a loft not far away, a young man in brocade clothes, waving a folding fan in his hand, was watching the backs of two figures slowly leaving with sharp eyes.

He stood up slowly and left a silver ingot on the table.

Then he said to the burly man beside him with a solemn expression, "Let's go... meet this so-called immortal."

The content on the note was very simple.

Xinrang City North, Furong Inn.

This note was obviously handed to him by the drunk who seemed to be panicking.

Why did he specifically hand it to me? It was very simple, because I had noticed their presence as soon as they entered the city gate.

Or maybe his whereabouts were exposed earlier.

This was not difficult, after all, the two did not go to Xinrang City in any special way to hide their whereabouts.

The temperament of immortals is also quite easy to distinguish for ordinary people, probably the so-called immortal temperament they talk about.

only...

"Who is it?"

Pei Yu frowned and asked, Xu Qingyan shook his head.

"I don't know, but... maybe he is someone who really needs us."

"So you're going straight there?"

Pei Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, and seemed to not understand the boy's choice. In her opinion, being led by the nose was not a good start.

Especially when this matter is just beginning and there are no clues.

Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Yu, "Why not go?"

The woman sneered, "Do you know who the other party is? If you don't know, how do you know why the other party is looking for us? Without any clues, isn't this handing the initiative to the other party?"

In Pei Yu's opinion, this boy is still too young.

Whether it is handling things or understanding the ways of the world, they are not good enough.

Too rash.

If he had done this alone, he would have died countless times.

But the boy turned around and looked at Pei Yu with a smile.

"Master Pei, how do you plan to find clues?"

Pei Yu answered as a matter of course, "Of course I would hide my whereabouts, then ask around, mostly in the market, and draw conclusions based on the tiny clues..."

"Too ordinary, too mediocre."

"What do you mean?!"

Pei Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and he looked at the young man who spoke so arrogantly with a hint of anger.

Xu Qingyan looked at her and said seriously.

"If you want to conceal your whereabouts, you should have done so from the beginning, instead of thinking of it after entering the city gate. Now that everyone knows our whereabouts, you still use such an old-fashioned method. Then I guarantee that Master Pei Shan will not get any truth, and the conclusions you draw are all the conclusions that others want to tell you."

Pei Yu was speechless for a moment.

She seemed to realize the flaws in her approach. Indeed... as he said, it was too mediocre and even more passive.

People always believe what they see and think that is the truth. But if what you see is specially designed by others... then it is not the truth, it is a trap.

but...

"So you have a way to get the truth this way? Aren't we just waiting for the other party to come and tell us what they want to say? What's the difference?"

Xu Qingyan smiled and shook his head.

"There's a big difference. Trying so hard to find so-called clues and flaws will only expose our intentions and methods. But when they come to us... no matter what their purpose is, the first thing to be exposed is their intentions. This is the initiative."

As if worried that the other party wouldn't understand what he was saying, Xu Qingyan added another sentence.

"What I mean is... no matter what happens, we can withdraw, we can leave, we can let everything go. But they have a purpose. If they want us to do something, we must reveal more information. Do you understand?"

Pei Yu did understand.

Even when I heard this statement, I felt a sense of enlightenment.

But what's the tone of this asshole?

Why does it seem like... I am the follower he brought with me?

It's the opposite of Tian Gang, right?

So she looked at Xu Qingyan coldly, "I warn you not to talk to me in this tone."

The boy shrugged, "Ah, women...when they can't reason with you, they just like to talk about their emotions."

"Xu Qingyan!"

"Let's go, Master Pei, you go ahead."

Xu Qingyan politely made a gesture of invitation, but...it still made Pei Yu unhappy.

This young man...what on earth did he miscalculate?

How come he seems so experienced? In front of him, I am the one who pales in comparison.

No...it must be an illusion.

It was just that his cleverness came into play at this time.

We'll see who has more experience.

The two quickly followed the road and found the Furong Inn in the north of the city.

The inn is not very big, only two floors, but it is quiet.

It seems that there are not many customers. The owner of the inn is a middle-aged woman with a sad face.

When introducing the guest rooms, there was a little boy about five or six years old next to me.

He was holding a ball and looking at the two curiously from behind the woman.

The woman looked at Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu, and immediately realized, "You two...are immortals?"

Xu Qingyan looked at the other party curiously, "Why does the boss lady say that?"

The woman smiled and said softly, "Someone told me in advance... that two immortals would be coming, and the best guest rooms have been arranged for you two."

Pei Yu frowned and looked at Xu Qingyan, "It seems that these people are very sure that we will come."

Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "This is the consensus among smart people."

What does this mean? Are you saying that you are a stupid person?

Pei Yu snorted disdainfully, "Are you clever?"

Xu Qingyan shrugged and said nothing.

At this time, the child holding the ball whispered curiously.

"Mom...what does 'xianjia' mean? Does it mean immortals?"

Pei Yu and Xu Qingyan's eyes were drawn to her, and the proprietress immediately explained in an awkward manner.

"I'm sorry... this is my child, A-Lin... children don't know much."

Xu Qingyan shook his head, "It doesn't matter."

Instead, he walked up to A-Lin, propped himself up on his knees, lowered his head, and reached out his hand to rub the other person's head.

"There is no meaning of immortals. They are just people who seek immortals. They are not much different from ordinary people."

The woman was somewhat surprised at the boy's calmness, while Pei Yu was disdainful.

Young boys and girls are prone to this, overflowing with sympathy, showing their affinity to ordinary people. They have no idea of ​​the sinister nature of human beings. As long as you give them face, these people will go further.

Ah Lin seemed a little confused, "Really? But big brother...someone told Ah Lin that the immortals are very powerful people who can do anything."

Xu Qingyan asked with a smile, "If everything can be done, then what does A-Lin want his brother to do?"

What would a child need?

Toys, delicious food, drinks, fun things.

That was all. This young man was just wasting his time. Pei Yu made a simple comment.

But A-Lin raised his head and said with eyes wide open.

"Brother...can you please save my uncle...he is in so much pain...mother said he is sick and she won't let A-Lin see him, I am so worried about him..."

"Alin!"

The lady boss immediately stopped the boy from speaking.

Ah Lin was holding the ball, at a loss.

Xu Qingyan let go of his hand, stood up and looked at the proprietress, while Pei Yu frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something.

The lady boss said softly, "Let me take you two guests to your room..."

Xu Qingyan didn't argue any more at this time, just nodded.

"it is good."

Pei Yu and Xu Qingyan followed the proprietress upstairs.

It is the innermost room. I don't know if it is the best one, but it is definitely the most hidden one.

By the window, or in the corner.

It looks like it was carefully arranged.

Pei Yu and Xu Qingyan entered this fairly spacious room together, and they noticed the most obvious thing almost immediately.

The bed.

That...big bed is obviously a bit wasteful for one person to sleep on.
