"Hmm! Ah…oh!"

Master Pei couldn't help but shudder, then he perked up and looked at Jiang Yan with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jiang Yan spread his hands indifferently.

"Well, I told you, this is my home court~"

"Brother Jiang... didn't you say you were here to visit relatives?"

"Yes, but I have many junior brothers and sisters here. They knew I was coming so they came to say hello to me. It's okay~"

After hearing this, Master Pei silently glanced into the distance. At this moment, the people on the street had dispersed, but in fact they did not go far. They were just hiding in various corners.

There was even a woman who just pretended to squat behind the bun shop, hunched over and secretly looked around the place.

Seeing him drawing circles on the ground in a serious manner...

"Brother Jiang...you..."

"Your sect is really big..."

Master Pei only managed to utter this sentence after a long while. Of course, he did not ask Jiang Yan what sect he belonged to.

First, Jiang Yan wanted to say that he would explain it himself, and second, he couldn't bring himself to ask. He would rather endure the itch in his heart and wait for Jiang Yan to open the door first.

So Master Pei just flicked his folding fan, forced his expression back to its original state, and spoke with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, since you are familiar with this place, I feel relieved~"

"We just happened to be here. It's still early, so there's no rush to visit relatives. Why don't we go in together, enjoy the scenery, chat, drink tea and have fun? How about that~"

After saying this, Master Pei extended his hand to invite.

Jiang Yan rubbed his chin, looked up at the four big words "Fulai Inn", and muttered.

"Fulai Inn~"

“I haven’t eaten here for a long time.”

The corners of Master Pei's mouth slightly raised, but then calmed down naturally.

He folded his folding fan, straightened his back, and led Jiang Yan and the other man into the Fulai Inn, saying as they walked:

"Brother Jiang probably knows that this Fulai Inn has three floors. The first floor is where ordinary wealthy people often come. It is luxuriously decorated with clean windowsills and each room is separated by a screen. It can be crowded but still private."

"The second floor is where some dignitaries live. Compared with the first floor, it is more magnificent. There are carved beams and painted buildings, singing and dancing, and it is mostly a place for showing off one's taste. Not everyone can enter~"

As he spoke, Master Pei couldn't help but smile proudly.

"I guess Brother Jiang has never eaten on the second floor before~"

Jiang Yan nodded honestly: "I have indeed never eaten on the second floor."

"Very good! I finally got it right!"

Master Pei clenched his fists in his heart and his tone became a little lighter.

"Don't worry, Pei is here today, I can take Brother Jiang to the second floor for a seat~"

"You just need to wait here, I will arrange it~"

After saying this, Master Pei walked quickly towards the counter, with a proud chin raised in his heart.

Humph, no matter how powerful Brother Jiang is, he is just a disciple of a martial arts sect.

Even if he has many disciples behind him, they are just warriors. How could there be officials?

This time I can finally make Brother Jiang admire me~

Xiaolan looked back at Jiang Yan's half-smile at this moment, and when she thought of the aura displayed by those who called Jiang Yan "Elder Brother", she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She felt that her young master was about to be slapped in the face again, so she couldn't help but reach out and pull him.

"Master~Brother Jiang just said that he had never been to the second floor. Is it possible that he had been to the third floor before?"

At this time, Young Master Pei just walked to the counter and took out a jade pendant engraved with the word "Pei".

Hearing Xiaolan's concerns, he just smiled and shook his head.

"Impossible, impossible, Xiaolan, you don't know that this third floor is not open to the public at all. It is only used by that adult~"

Xiaolan lowered her head: "Is... is this the case..."

Master Pei nodded, and then spoke to the shopkeeper at the counter with a calm and neither humble nor arrogant expression:

"Four guests in the private room on the second floor. The dishes must be top quality and the wine must be three years old or more."

As he said this, he placed the jade pendant in front of the other person.

The shopkeeper slowly raised his head and just glanced.

"Oh, I see"

After saying that, he placed a house number plate on the table. Then he ignored him and just flipped through the account book.

This arrogant attitude did not cause dissatisfaction in Master Pei. Instead, he just nodded as if it was normal.

The person standing behind him is that master. It is not an exaggeration to say that he had great power in the past. Although he has retired now, his subordinates still have some power.

Picking up the doorplate, Master Pei turned around and said:

"Brother Jiang, follow me upstairs~"

After saying this, he went upstairs with Jiang Yan.

"River?!"

The shopkeeper here was busy calculating the account book. When he heard the word "Jiang", his ears moved slightly and he looked up subconsciously.

Then I saw a slender figure.

The man's clothes were made of ordinary material with some wrinkles, and there were a few inconspicuous blades of grass behind him.

But her gestures seemed very casual, her long hair was casually tied up with a black jade hairpin, and a pitch-black gourd was hanging around her waist...

"Jiang! Master Jiang?!"

He suddenly stood up from the stool, rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again!

"Same body shape! Same posture! Even the clothes are so out of place! It's Master Jiang!"

The shopkeeper's originally calm face suddenly showed an excited look!

He took two steps at a time and crossed the counter, with his hands raised, bowing to Jiang Yan.

But before he could open his mouth, Jiang Yan had already turned his head slightly.

Lips move up and down slightly~

The shopkeeper saw it, so he stopped talking in time and just bowed his head.

Then he hurriedly stood up, casually told others to watch the store door and greet Master Pei, the customer, and ran out in a hurry...

Jiang Yan didn't say anything at the time, he just mouthed a sentence.

"Keep a low profile and go inform your parents to come over."

Master Pei finally had the chance to show off in front of his friends, and he felt it would be better not to put the other party off so quickly.

Shen Ming stood by and watched the scene quietly, taking everything in.

But he showed no emotion.

"Master really... knows a lot of people..."

.........

In the private room on the second floor, Jiang Yan looked at the surrounding layout with some curiosity.

There are landscape paintings hanging on the walls, which are quite elegant. The tables and chairs are made of high-quality wood, with exquisite carvings, and are delicate and comfortable to the touch. There is a set of exquisite tea sets and wine cups on the table.

The place where they were sitting was next to the window, which was spacious and bright, and outside the window was a dense bamboo forest.

The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, bringing a cool breeze and a sense of tranquility.

There was a knock on the door, and a beautiful woman came in with a wine jug.

Master Pei glanced at her with admiration, and then looked at Jiang Yan helplessly...

"Ming'er, this cake was seen by the master first."

"But Shen Ming caught it first."

"As a human being, you should respect the old and love the young!"

"Yes, but I'm still a child, Master, can't you give way to Shen Ming?"

"I am your master!"

"Shen Ming is still a child!"
