He said bluntly: "It's true that we are being rude. It's just that we don't have much. If we don't rely on some cultivation skills, wouldn't we be at the mercy of others? We don't have any ill intentions. We have important things to go to the west on this trip. Let's go together.
It's been a few days and the horses are exhausted. How about you just clear a small corner and we promise not to disturb you?"
After hearing this, the group of people gathered together and discussed for a long time with their heads down.
Feng Qingxue asked Ye Tianchen: "Are they...?"
Ye Tianchen shrugged and said, "I don't know either."
"Maybe we'll be sleeping on the street again tonight." Nan Mingkong sighed.
Tan Ying was a little lost in thought and did not participate in the discussion.
After a long time, those few people seemed to have reached a consensus and said resolutely: "No! You can only act according to our rules. If you don't want to, leave as soon as possible."
The three of them looked at each other and had no choice but to give up. Nan Mingkong said: "Let's go, let's hurry up. Maybe there are other villages where we can stay."
The three people who were about to return to the carriage turned around when Tan Ying said "wait", not knowing why.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
Tan Ying took out something from her arms unhurriedly. It was a medium-sized green jade plaque with the word "tan" vaguely printed on it.
When those people saw the jade plaque and recognized the lines on it, they knelt down one after another.
"Welcome Master Tan..."
"Can we go in now?"
Tan Ying asked softly, interrupting them.
The taller one replied first: "Okay, okay!"
When Feng Qingxue saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh, and moved to Tan Ying: "What's going on?"
How could she make these people change their attitudes completely?
Tan Ying stuck out her tongue: "This is the charm of traveling in the world! Don't ask so many questions, let's go in!"
Nan Mingkong and Ye Tianchen looked at each other and said nothing. Ye Tianchen raised his feet and chased after him, while Nan Mingkong went to drive.
"I didn't expect that jade token of yours to be so useful!"
In front of a sumptuous meal, Feng Qingxue, who was sitting at the table, couldn't help but admire it.
She was surprised by the other party's attitude. Not only were they served delicious food and drinks in various ways, but the accommodation was also the most comfortable in so many days. She really felt what a paradise is.
"Yes! If it hadn't been for that thing, I would have wanted to live here forever!" Ye Tianchen picked up a piece of meat and sighed uncharacteristically.
Nan Mingkong was holding chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables. He was stunned when he heard Ye Tianchen's words, "I didn't expect that the dignified Young Master Ye could be so serious."
Ye Tianchen looked at him sadly, with a look of grievance on his face: "Please don't accuse me falsely. Originally, I came here just for fun..."
His unfinished words were interrupted by Feng Qingxue's cough.
Yes, there is Tan Ying here. She does not know the identities of herself and Nan Mingkong. It is difficult to see clearly due to the special circumstances.
Ye Tianchen shut up immediately and started eating obediently.
How could Tan Ying, a smart person like him, not guess that the three of them were hiding something from her?
She put down her chopsticks with a curious look on her face: "It's been so long, but you still don't know where you are from, Mr. Nan?"
Nan Ming paused slightly with his empty hands, coughed, and said to cover up his embarrassment: "We come from a small mountain village, a nameless little place, not worth mentioning."
Ye Tianchen was not worried at all. He only left this trivial matter to Nan Mingkong to deal with, and was still busy with his own appetite.
"Oh? Why don't you come and listen and see if I've been there?"
"Since it's a small place, it's embarrassing to say it. Miss Tan, I'd better let it go. By the way, I don't know where Miss Tan's jade medal came from. How can it make them change their attitude?"
Tan Ying did not expect that the other party would ask this question. She was silent for a moment and then smiled:
"I just tried my luck with that thing, but I didn't expect it to actually work."
The three of them were startled at first, then were shocked when they reacted.
"Is it such a coincidence?" Feng Qingxue exclaimed.
Tan Ying spread her hands, her meaning was obvious, it was such a coincidence.
Nan Mingkong didn't think anything of it, and Ye Tianchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he had a different idea, but he didn't specify it.
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Tan Ying resumed the previous topic, tilted her head and looked at Nan Mingkong, pressing forward step by step:
"I wonder where you learned your skills from? I saw your moves before, and they seemed to be different from ours."
"...." Nan Mingkong really didn't know how to resist.
"Tan Ying, if you don't eat quickly, the food will be cold later." Feng Qingxue agreed.
Tan Ying knew that she was changing the subject, so she didn't expose it. She just said "Oh." and got to work obediently.
Ye Tianchen asked Tan Ying a question while eating: "Little girl, do you also want to learn our exercises?"
Nan Mingkong was stunned. Why did this guy go back to the topic that had just been changed? It was really...
Tan Ying became interested and completely forgot what kind of person Ye Tianchen was: "Why, tell me where you are from?"
Ye Tianchen seemed to be trying to catch her, he just laughed softly, and after a while he said: "If you want to learn, just kowtow to me three times and I will teach you."
He didn't mention it at all, but made a joke about Tan Ying.
Nan Mingkong sighed helplessly, Mr. Ye really lived up to his reputation.
Tan Ying was choked by what he said and suddenly lost interest. Later she realized that the other party was playing tricks on her and said dullly: "Who cares about learning?"
Feng Qingxue covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't eat it, it will be really cold!"
Ye Tianchen made a face, and then the four of them started laughing and joking.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if the killer had been forgotten.
After finishing the meal, just as we were about to leave, someone came and said, "Miss Tan, the elder has invited me!"
Tan Ying didn't feel anything strange and said calmly: "I'll come as soon as I go."
Then there were only three people left at the dinner table.
"Miss Feng, do you think Tan Ying has anything to do with this place?" Nan Mingkong spoke first. He was also curious. Tan Ying's origin seemed not simple.
Feng Qingxue lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking. She just shook her head. "I don't know either."
"Then how did you meet?" Nan Mingkong continued.
"I think it was four or five years ago. At that time, I went down the mountain for training and happened to meet her. We hit it off and became friends. However, I have never inquired about her personal affairs, so I don't know her origin."
Feng Qingxue put one hand on the table and thought about it carefully.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not questioning her by asking this. I'm just concerned. She doesn't seem simple."
Nan Mingkong hurriedly explained, but found that the description was getting darker and darker. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Feng Qingxue.
"I understand your concerns. Although she behaves strangely, she is very kind. I know this."
Feng Qingxue didn't think there was any misunderstanding, it was a very normal thing. This chapter has been completed!
