Immortal of Quick Transmigration, why are you blackened again?

Chapter 105 Red Jade Ring 12
Lingyao quietly went to the back kitchen while Han Chu was leaving.

I asked several people along the way, and some disciples could guess that this was a distinguished guest in the sect, so they persuaded them well that the back kitchen is a place for rough people, and those with noble status should not go there.

Lingyao is not stupid, she just lied that the food was not cooked well last night, she had to find out why the chef was so perfunctory.

The disciples of the Tianqing faction didn't talk to her, they simply told her the position of the back kitchen, and then hurriedly left.

Lingyao is happy to see the results, for some reason, she always dislikes their behavior.
Except... the uncle with the burn scar.

From a distance, she saw the smoke curling up from the kitchen, Lingyao smelled the smell of burning firewood, so she quickened her pace, and sure enough, she saw an inconspicuous courtyard, where people were busy, cooking, preparing dishes, Waiting for food delivery, very noisy.

When Lingyao walked in, she seemed out of place here, she was still covered with a veil, as if she was more expensive.

The man in charge of the back kitchen was a big and round cook. When he saw Lingyao from a distance, he stepped forward and said, "May I ask who you are looking for? I will have breakfast in a while, and I am very busy now. Why don't you come later?"

"I'm from Xianningju," she said, "I'm looking for the guy who delivered my meal last night."

"Xianning Residence?" The manager frowned, and suddenly remembered Tianyao's advice, saying that Xianning lived in a distinguished guest, and he wanted to treat them with more courtesy, so he quickly changed his smile: "Oh dear guest! It was made according to your instructions. The green plum wine is a good wine for ten years, and the roast chicken is freshly caught in the back mountain, but it is very fresh! The white fungus and lotus seeds are also very expensive on the market, so I never took them. Bad things are fooling you!"

"You said, Tianyao asked you to cook the dishes last night?"

"How dare you change the menu arbitrarily, it's all the best ingredients. If you don't like the chef's cooking method, we can just change it for you."

"It's okay. I'm here to find the person who brought me food last night." Lingyao said, then glanced inside, "You help me find him out, it only takes a moment."

When he heard that it was not the kitchen's problem, the manager felt relieved and said, "If he does anything wrong, please ask Haihan. The child has just arrived."

As soon as Lingyao heard this, she felt something was wrong. The uncle with the scar yesterday looked 40 or [-] years old, so why was he still a "child"?
She was wondering, when she heard the steward shouting inside: "Little Dingzi, come quickly!"

"Here we come!" A voice of about thirteen or fourteen answered, and then a tall and thin boy ran over and bowed slightly towards the manager: "Are you looking for me?"

"It's not me, it's this distinguished guest of Xianningju."

After the person in charge finished speaking, he saw the young man's complexion change. Facing Shang Lingyao's indifferent gaze, he knelt down with a "plop" and cried, "My lord, you don't care about villains. ... I didn't know that I would be knocked out. When I woke up, it was already late at night, and the dinner I gave you was gone... This is just a meal for you, but for the little one Yan, it is a livelihood! If you investigate to the end, I..."

"You little bastard!" Before he finished speaking, the manager became furious and slapped him on the head, "Why don't you make a sound when you lose something!"

"You...you're all asleep..." the young man said weakly.

"Forget it, I don't mean to pursue it." Lingyao said, "This child is still young, so you can give him a little warning."

"Thank you nobleman, thank you nobleman!" The young man quickly kowtowed, weeping with gratitude.

"It's just, where and by whom did you get knocked out, do you still remember?" Lingyao said, looking at the strange expressions of the two of them, she said, "I sparred with that person last night, and I just thought he Martial arts are good, and I want to ask him for advice, there is no other meaning."

Seeing that she didn't want to pursue anything, the boy thought about it carefully: "It's...it's near the firewood house..."

"Woodshed?!" The steward frowned, "My lord, you'd better not go. Although our back cook is already a servant, the handymen in the woodshed are not as good as us! There must be someone who wants to take advantage of this to make a career. , you’d better not be someone else’s springboard!”

"It's okay." Ling Yao counted the time, "You don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, he hurried back to Xianningju.

As soon as Lingyao came back, Han Chu arrived on the back. As soon as he arrived at Xianningju, he said, "Su Yao, Master ordered us to go to the Xuanguang Tomb. You should make preparations. We will leave earlier."

"Let's go now?" Ling Yao said, "But I'm not ready yet!"

"Just take a sword and some luggage." Han Chu said, "Bringing too many things will weigh you down and be inconvenient."

"I don't have anything with me," Lingyao said indifferently, "Since you are in a hurry, let's go now."

"Okay, make your preparations, and gather at the door in a while." After Han Chu finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Lingyao turned around and went back to the room. She changed into a dark red dress and covered it with a black gauze cover. She neatly tied up her hair with a headband of the same color, leaving a few strands of hair on her temples. Bronze mirror, suddenly found that his lips seemed a little red and swollen, so he moved closer to take a closer look, and touched it lightly with his fingertips, as if he had been bitten by some mosquito.

But in this late spring weather, why are there mosquitoes?

Before she had time to think about it, through the window, she saw Han Chu, Tian Yao and a man she didn't know walking towards this side. She remembered Han Chu's advice, and found a piece of soap gauze to cover it up. With half of his face, he found a thin gauze to wear around his waist, and then went out.

"Su Yao, are you ready?" Han Chu asked when he saw her.

"Hmm." She nodded.

"This is Senior Sister Tianyao, you recognize it; this is Senior Brother Ji Henian, who is also a disciple of Master with me." Han Chu briefly introduced, and the three of them nodded slightly without saying much.

Han Chu looked into the distance, ignoring the unfamiliar embarrassment: "It's getting late, let's go."

The four of them headed south all the way, in order to find a place to stay in the town before sunset, they rushed on non-stop without a word of unnecessary communication.

But according to the map, there should be a bustling town ahead, but when they arrived, they found that it was actually a sparsely populated town.

Walking on the main street of this town, you can't see a few shops open at all. Many shops selling rouge, gouache or fabrics have their doors tightly closed. There is even a lot of dust at the door. Only the owner of the rice noodle shop is still open. , sitting boredly next to the rice bucket and watching the grasshoppers fight.

"Why is this town different from the one marked on the map?" Tian Yao led the horse and said.
