The candlelight illuminated the woman's face, revealing a mature and beautiful blush.
She looked at Xu Qingyan coldly, "Are you forcing me to settle accounts with you now?"
Xu Qingyan went straight to the bed and lay on her side in a somewhat seductive posture.
"If Master Pei wants to settle the score, then come on. Just be gentle with me. I don't have any experience."
"Pfft!"
Pei Yu didn't want to smile, because he felt it was embarrassing to show a sincere smile to this boy.
But seeing the other party's deliberate mischief and hearing such a pretentious tone, I still couldn't help myself.
That's hilarious.
Xu Qingyan put away his posture, propped up his head and lay on his side, looking at Pei Yu and said.
"I have to say, Master Pei should smile more like this. You look so beautiful when you smile, just like spring flowers blooming."
Hearing Xu Qingyan's comments, Pei Yu put away his smile unnaturally and became cold and hard again.
"You are not qualified to judge me... Stop saying such things. I am not that kind of girl. I will not be fooled by your exaggerated words."
Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "It's okay. As long as I say it enough and keep doing it, there will always be a day when you will be fooled."
Pei Yu's heartbeat suddenly quickened when he heard this.
What does it mean?
A bold and direct confession?
The people in this world naturally cannot bear this kind of impact that transcends time, and it is not difficult for Xu Qingyan to express his thoughts without any hindrance.
Besides, it's not the truth.
Rather than attacking the opponent, it is better to say that you need to conquer the opponent.
Pei Yu looked at the boy's eyes looking at him, they were really nice... No wonder Lin Yan was so concerned about him...
No, what are you thinking about?
She frowned and turned away completely.
"It's getting late. I'm going to close my eyes and rest."
Xu Qingyan didn't bother to argue too much and just lay on the bed looking at the ceiling.
"Well, Master Pei, if you want to sleep, just tell me and I'll make room for you. This bed is really big and soft."
"Get lost."
Want to sleep with me?
See if you have this blessing in your next life!
The woman who was thinking this had other thoughts in her mind.
Lin Yan, ah Lin Yan... have you ever thought that your beloved disciple would express her feelings so passionately to me, the woman you hate the most?
The night is long, so naturally I have no mood to sleep.
Xu Qingyan has many things to consider.
Including the purpose of the prince Zhao Yuanji, and whether the clues he said could form effective information.
Now it seems that a plague that has spread to almost half of the town, a church organization that has suddenly emerged, and a group of Taoists who have entered the palace at the right time to persuade the king to practice Taoism and seek immortality...
There is no way to separate the connection.
It's like a circle made up of three lines, not that you wrap me and I wrap it.
It is a disordered connection that forms a pattern where you are in me and I am in you.
So now we need to consider, if all this really comes from the witch doctor, how to resolve it next.
Is it possible that this is already a dragnet?
Thinking about these things, Xu Qingyan did not fall asleep until dawn. In this situation, sleeping peacefully would give potential enemies an opportunity. When everything is in the dark, one must not let down his guard.
Just a whole night... nothing happened.
Xu Qingyan opened his eyes, and the sunlight shone into the room. Pei Yu, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes almost at the same time, as if he felt the boy's gaze.
The young woman, who didn't look haggard even after not sleeping all night, frowned the moment she saw Xu Qingyan's eyes.
"Good morning, Master Pei."
Xu Qingyan yawned lazily and greeted him casually.
Pei Yu didn't waste any words. "When are we going to the palace?"
Xu Qingyan shook his head, "That depends on what's going on over there. Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Pei Yu looked at Xu Qingyan in confusion, "Are you still in the mood to hang out at this time?"
Xu Qingyan stood up and stretched himself, not caring about his posture in front of this woman.
Anyway, he is so handsome, even with a runny nose he is still handsome.
"How can you just stroll around? Didn't you want to get some other information? Just walk and see, maybe you'll find something unexpected."
Pei Yu did not answer, but frowned as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Qingyan did not give the other party any extra time to think.
"If you don't want to go, I will go alone. You just wait here for news from Prince Zhao."
"and many more..."
Pei Yu still made a decision. It was not because she thought the boy's decision was reasonable or that he would definitely find some useful information, but because it was too boring to stay here alone.
It's not a place I'm familiar with, so I might as well go out on the street with this annoying bastard.
I don't know how many years it has been since I last came to this world.
When Pei Yu and Xu Qingyan walked out of the inn, they saw the child named A Lin playing with a ball not far from the inn entrance.
He didn't notice the couple, and seemed to be completely immersed in his childhood as Xu Qingyan said.
Pei Yu remembered something, and asked after walking a few steps with Xu Qingyan.
"Are you sure what you did yesterday will not bring trouble to this family? It's not easy to open an inn, and you might have made an enemy like the prince."
Xu Qingyan looked at the surrounding buildings, some scattered shops, and the people who were nothing special and in a hurry.
"Don't worry. Zhao Yuanji's behavior yesterday proved that he is the kind of person who thinks he can endure it. Besides, the humiliation did not fall directly on him. In the eyes of mortals, there is always a certain gap in status between them and immortal cultivators. As you said yesterday, many people think that it is natural for the weak to be bullied by the strong. Most of them don't think that they will get back all the suffering they have suffered one day, but hope that they will never encounter it again."
Pei Yu obviously disagreed with Xu Qingyan's statement and said coldly.
"He could have waited until we left before he attacked. Some people who are indecisive appear to be more tolerant on the surface, but they are actually more narrow-minded. You can't protect them for the rest of their lives."
Xu Qingyan nodded.
"That's true. But what I did yesterday was mainly to tell them not to use ordinary means to judge me. Other cultivators are afraid of cause and effect, but I am not. So as long as they are within the jurisdiction of the Eighteen Sword Sect, he dare not gamble on this possibility. After all, in his opinion, exchanging the life of a prince for the life of an ordinary child... Even if it is just a possibility, he will not gamble. The best way is to forget it."
Pei Yu shook his head.
“I don’t know where you get your confidence from.”
Xu Qingyan shrugged.
"I don't have any confidence. I just combined countless clues together to infer the possibilities and then draw the final conclusion. This is reasoning logic."
"What the hell?"
Pei Yu simply didn't understand a word.
Xu Qingyan blinked and didn't explain.
This attitude made Pei Yu very dissatisfied.
It's like I'm too stupid to explain.
"Asshole...explain it to me clearly, you..."
"Help!"
"Help!!"
When Pei Yu was about to delve deeper into this seemingly meaningless question, there was a sudden noise in front of him.
They both looked over at the same time.
I saw a panicked man rushing out pushing a cart, his face was covered with pus, oozing black liquid.
There seemed to be a figure covered by a white cloth on the cart. Although he couldn't see clearly, Xu Qingyan could see some black liquid oozing out from under the white cloth, as if it was blood mixed with ink.
Along with it, there was a foul smell, like rotting rats in a sewer.
The man yelled in panic, not even caring about his current situation.
The people around who saw this scene all started to get nervous and ran away, fearing that the cart and the man would hit them.
Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu also realized instantly that this scene might mean something.
"Save my wife, please save my wife!"
Everyone was running away, leaving only this man helplessly asking for help.
Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu did not move. They were not fools and would not hastily step forward to try to solve the problem at this time, especially without understanding the nature of the plague.
And everyone can see that no matter the unidentified figure lying on the cart or the man pushing the cart... they are probably beyond help and will not live long.
In the face of pain and illness, mortals appear so fragile and helpless.
But when the man looked around and didn't get any signal for help, he seemed to be in confusion and despair.
Xu Qingyan seemed to hear some sound.
Pei Yu's ears also moved.
They looked in one direction at the same time, and in that direction, several figures appeared silently.
They were wearing strange clothes, long black robes.
There are people wearing all kinds of colored clothes on the street, but they are particularly conspicuous in their robes of this color, and they also wear hoods of the same color on their heads.
Xu Qingyan felt a little dazed when he saw this scene.
Because such people appearing in movies often carry a strong symbolic meaning.
It seemed like a messenger with some special mission.
When almost everyone else was running away, they calmly walked towards the man and the cart.
Xu Qingyan noticed that these five people walked forward, seemingly moving forward in unison, but in fact they were like stars surrounding the moon, reflecting a strict hierarchy.
That is the figure in the middle. The hood covers the face of this figure, but it looks a little shorter. What is not hidden under the hood is a touch of fair skin. It looks like... a woman?
Especially the hair that was leaked out, which was chestnut in color.
Under the sunlight, it turned a little red.
Just like a koi carp swimming gently in a clear pond.
A few people stepped forward, and the people around them seemed to freeze in their tracks, at a loss as to what to do.
The man pushing the cart also gradually calmed down, showing a strange attitude, as if the whole world had stopped because of the appearance of these people.
Those hooded people with strange attire and posture seemed to be talking to the man pushing the cart, right in the middle of the street.
No one disturbed them, as if the whole world had formed a tacit understanding, making room and time for them.
Xu Qingyan could vaguely see someone's lips moving, but he couldn't hear anything.
He just saw the expression of the man pushing the cart gradually calm down from irritability, despair, and confusion.
Then he let go of the cart with both hands.
Then he actually knelt down in front of these five people and even began to kowtow.
He began to mutter continuously.
"Flattering God..."
"All things are one..."
