Immortality: Beginning With The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty

Chapter 13: Miss Liu Er (Please continue reading~)

A figure dressed in a green silk dress, embroidered with subtle golden lotus patterns on the chest, fluttered in the wind, appearing before everyone.

What a stunning beauty in her twenties!

The woman's vermilion lips appeared moist and glossy, always carrying a hint of a smile that seemed both present and absent, with a touch of mockery and coldness.

Her phoenix eyes were bright and radiant, with a bold and spirited gaze. Her eyebrows extended into her temples, and the light blue eyeshadow added a touch of charm and allure.

Holding a jade bone folding fan, embroidered with scenes of lakes and mountains on both sides, with lotus flowers standing tall and elegant, unadorned and unbranched.

"Could it be that Sir Su can't bear to part with me? Just saw me yesterday, and here you are again today."

"My heart is trembling~"

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Xuanzhi, half covering her face with the fan, pretending to be shy, and her smile became even more enchanting. "Moreover, you've brought a handsome young man with you."

"With such a handsome appearance, one would think this gentleman is a celestial being from heaven!"

Lin Xuanzhi noticed that the innkeeper's hairstyle was not that of a married woman, which surprised him a little. Wasn't it said in the book that most innkeepers were widows?

Of course, he didn't mean anything else. He smiled and took the initiative to greet, "I am Lin Xuanzhi, nice to meet you, innkeeper."

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Ah! Lin Gongzi is so polite."

"Friends on the road all like to call me Miss Liu Er. If the gentleman doesn't mind, you can call me Sister Liu as well."

"Sister Liu." Lin Xuanzhi obediently agreed with a smile.

Su Jincheng followed suit and greeted, "Boss Liu."

Miss Liu Er rolled her eyes impatiently. "You don't understand romance. It's the little brother who just arrived today that people like."

"The food this Lin brother is eating today is all on my tab. Little Su, yours is doubled~"

At this moment, a man with a stiff and dark face at a table in the distance chuckled, "Miss Liu Er, don't just walk away when you see a pretty boy. You should at least greet your regular customers, right?"

Another man at another table chimed in, "That's right, otherwise we won't buy your watered-down wine anymore."

Miss Liu Er couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, pointing her fan at the man and cursing, "Fuck your mother!"

She turned around and sat at a table behind her, laughing and scolding, "I clearly just added a little bit of water to the wine."

"Don't make baseless accusations and tarnish your own reputation!"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Miss Liu Er walked back to the table where Lin Xuanzhi and Su Jincheng were sitting and asked Su Jincheng, "Where is your bald-headed master?"

"He's at home. My little brother and I came to the market tonight." Su Jincheng replied casually.

Miss Liu Er raised an eyebrow and said, "I see~"

Then she looked at Lin Xuanzhi and smiled, "There should be a lot of things tonight. I've noticed that many cultivators have come to Changning recently."

"Find time to come and chat with Sister Liu. Don't be like the person next to you, unable to take a joke, like an old man."

After saying that, she swayed her figure and walked away.

Seeing Miss Liu Er walk away, Su Jincheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Boss Liu and my master have been good friends for many years. She just likes to play tricks on people."

"Miss Liu's carefree and unrestrained nature is truly admirable. She is truly genuine." Lin Xuanzhi sincerely smiled.

Su Jincheng neither agreed nor disagreed. At this time, the ordered dishes arrived, and he immediately invited Lin Xuanzhi to taste them.

Yellow Mountain stewed pigeon, chestnut stir-fried vegetable hearts, shrimp with jade belt, husband and wife lung slices, and two plates of delicate southern pastries.

While Su Jincheng served Lin Xuanzhi, he said, "Although it's called a market, this kind of underground organization is often called a 'ghost market.' It can save a lot of taxes compared to regular markets."

Lin Xuanzhi swallowed his food and smiled, "Save taxes from the Divine Dynasty, but I wonder whose pocket the commission from the ghost market goes into."

"It can't be that some living Bodhisattva is organizing the ghost market just to do a good deed, right?"

Su Jincheng shook his head and smiled secretly, "It is said that the ghost market is run by the judge under the City God of Changning and a few others."

"Sometimes it happens once a month, sometimes several times a month, and sometimes it takes several months."

"But my master said that there haven't been any accidents in so many years, so it seems that the judge is capable."

Unconsciously, this half-story building was already full of people, and Lin Xuanzhi also noticed that there were several groups of people going up to the second and third floors.

"Is it because of the ghost market tonight that there are so many people?"

"It's probably as expected. But it should also be related to the recent incident that was reported." Su Jincheng pondered and said.

Lin Xuanzhi was slightly stunned, "What incident? What happened?"

Su Jincheng couldn't help but look at him with a hint of disdain and helplessness in his eyes, "You don't even know about it in the Divine Capital? You're not as well-informed as I am, even though I'm the one who's been out."

"What have you been busy with lately?"

Lin Xuanzhi smiled indifferently, "Either on duty at the Hidden Knowledge Pavilion or practicing at home."

Su Jincheng smiled helplessly, "That's just your style."

"Speaking of which, this matter is also related to the tasks you've been busy with in the past two years. The Dao Lu Division has spread the news that the Divine Dynasty's monumental work is about to be completed, and the Emperor intends to hold a water and land Dharma Assembly to invite accomplished practitioners from all over the world to appreciate the 'Martial Canon' and the 'Dao Collection'."

"It's also an opportunity to recruit talented individuals to expand the Dao Lu Division and the Six Doors."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that this matter was not small, and he had completely overlooked it.

"I've probably been too absorbed in my own affairs recently, Third Brother, don't blame me, haha."

At this moment, another middle-aged man at the table where they were joking with Liu Erniang laughed and said, "What this young man said is correct. Countless independent cultivators are heading towards the Divine Capital, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Martial Canon and the Dao Collection."

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said, "Don't believe rumors until official documents are released."

The dark-skinned man sneered, "Naive. The Divine Dynasty intentionally releases such news every time to create an atmosphere."

The man with the bamboo-like figure smiled at his brother and said, "Why bother arguing with a child?"

Then he politely said to Lin Xuanzhi, "My brother has a bad temper but means no harm. Please don't mind him."

Lin Xuanzhi shook his head and curiously asked, "So you four also came for the upcoming water and land Dharma Assembly?"

The man with the bamboo-like figure nodded slightly and introduced himself openly, "We four brothers are independent cultivators from Qingyang Dao. We are known as the Four Great Famous Swords of the East, South, West, and North."

"I am Dongfang Liushui."

The dark-skinned man said lightly, "Ximen Ye."

The rich-looking man smiled, "I am Nangong Xiaoxian."

His name didn't match his appearance at all!

"Beichen Shuofeng." The last one, a one-armed young man, nodded to Lin Xuanzhi and Su Jincheng.

"Thank you for your courtesy, seniors." Lin Xuanzhi and Su Jincheng responded.

Although they were cautious about the four men taking the initiative to approach them, they were not afraid.

"They must all have a cultivation level above Qi Gathering. I wonder why they are paying attention to us two little cultivators?" Lin Xuanzhi pondered and transmitted his voice, "There must be a reason behind their courtesy."

Fortunately, after exchanging greetings with the four men, they went on to chat casually, as if they were just getting to know each other.

Who can understand the thoughts of people in the martial world?

Lin Xuanzhi turned his head and glanced, only to see four people entering the inn and heading straight to the second floor.

Noticing his momentary pause, Su Jincheng caught a glimpse of them before they disappeared at the stairs and said, "Is that General Chou Lie's son?"

Lin Xuanzhi smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes."

Su Jincheng was about to say something else, but Lin Xuanzhi changed the subject and started chatting with him. Before long, Liu Erniang descended from the air and landed on the stage on the first floor.

She spoke with a smile, gently fanning herself with a folding fan, "Gentlemen, since you're here, you should know the rules. Otherwise, it won't look good for everyone later, and don't blame Erniang for disregarding our past friendship."

"By the way, for the newcomers, let me remind you that the stall fee for setting up a stall is twenty Low Grade Spirit Stones, and those who want to buy things also need to pay an entrance fee of two Spirit Stones."

"There are two large boxes at the entrance, take the initiative, or... hehe."

Just as Liu Erniang finished speaking, a voice came from the third floor, "You talk too much, old lady. You always say the same thing every time, wasting everyone's time."

"It's you who's impatient."

After Liu Erniang rolled her eyes, Lin Xuanzhi saw her wave the folding fan in her hand, and a clear light flashed. An invisible ripple spread out, causing the entire inn to tremble slightly. Then he felt that something seemed different.

"Alright, let's go out. This is also my first time here. Master always talked about it before, so today I want to see it for myself."

Su Jincheng was also filled with anticipation at this moment and stood up, pulling Lin Xuanzhi along.
