Mecha Star Wars

"Don't worry, Senior Sister."

Lin Fan grabbed Mu Jingjing's wrist, but it was too late.

The heavy wooden counter seemed to have turned into fragile porcelain. It broke into pieces in a blink of an eye and shattered into a pile of wood chips of different sizes. The papers, pens, gold, silver, cups, pots and plates on the counter were scattered all over the floor with a clang, as if accusing the violence they had suffered.

"Jintong will be fine..." Lin Fan said the second half of the sentence.

Du Xingyu jumped to avoid the flying wood chips, looked at the broken wine vines flowing freely on the ground, squatted down and sighed: "What a pity, the aroma of wine is so strong."

"Nothing, nothing." Shen Xiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward to appease the dumbfounded shopkeeper, took out a large silver ingot and stuffed it into his hand, "We will pay, we will pay. Junior sister is young, shopkeeper, please don't blame me."

Mu Jingjing knew that she had caused trouble and took a few steps back in shame, but she was worried about Jin Tong, so she moved her arms.

Lin Fan received Mu Jingjing's questioning look and explained.

"Even a shady shop wouldn't dare to do it in broad daylight. Moreover, this town is rich, and the inn is located in a prosperous part of the town, making a lot of money. There is no need to resort to crooked means and take risks."

Mu Jingjing then noticed that the people who were eating at four or five tables in the lobby were frightened by the noise they made. At two tables, people were holding weapons in their hands and looking at them warily.

"That's right, that's right," the shopkeeper saw that the group of people were not all vicious and could reason with each other. He clenched the silver in his hand and summoned up the courage to complain. "Our store has been around for decades and we do a very respectable business of food and lodging. If you don't believe me, you can ask the neighbors. Our boss is from this town and has nothing to do with the evil deeds that have brought disaster to the village."

"Are you serious?" Upon hearing that there was an advantage to be taken, someone immediately jumped out and asked, "Then will the wine and food that were not served be charged to your account?"

"Of course I take it seriously." Du Xingyu nodded and called the waiter over. "See if you guys want to add anything else, just pick up the good ones and put them on our bill."

As he spoke, he took out a large silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper in front of everyone. "Don't worry, everyone, eat and drink as much as you want."

There was a burst of applause in the lobby and the atmosphere became lively again.

"Shopkeeper," Shen Xiuyuan saw that Du Xingyu had finished dealing with it, and turned back to ask the shopkeeper, "Has anyone seen where the girl who came with us went?"

"My dear guests, I really don't know." The shopkeeper held the large silver ingot firmly on his chest. "Although I have been sitting at the counter, I have been keeping my head down most of the time and rarely look up."

"And the girl you mentioned, when I was registering earlier, I took a look at her. She was not even as tall as the counter. Even if I looked up, I might not be able to see her. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask the waiters. They are running around in the hall and may have seen her. Hey, come here, the guest has something to ask!"

There were three waiters in the inn, running back and forth between the lobby, the kitchen, and the door. If Jin Tong entered or left through the main door, someone would have seen him. But they all said they didn't see him.

"This is very strange..." Du Xingyu chuckled meaningfully, "How could a living person just disappear like that? Even his bag disappeared with him?"

"What should we do now?" Shen Xiuyuan frowned, "Go back to the town office to report to the police? Or should we look for it ourselves first?"

A living person disappeared, and we can't just ignore him. After all, he is our disciple.

Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways. In an unfamiliar place, newly arrived monks like them, who simply search for people without using magic, may not be as fast as the local authorities.

"Um..." A young male voice interrupted, "Excuse me, is the girl you are looking for wearing goose yellow clothes and pants and this size?"

The man drew a height with his hand, and it was indeed Jintong's height.

"But Jintong is wearing a pink dress..." Mu Jingjing was puzzled.

"Stupid!" Du Xingyu pointed at her from a distance, "She can change her clothes. Excuse me, brother, where have you seen her?"

The man on the other side was wearing a jade-colored brocade robe and holding a long sword, but he didn't look like a chivalrous man at all. Instead, he looked like a young man who came out to experience the plot of a knight.

He looked polite, but not as gentle as Shen Xiuyuan, nor as indifferent as Yu Sinian. He had a deliberately flattering smile, slightly bent over but with his back straight, which gave people a strange sense of conflict.

"Yes." The man nodded. "We passed by the back of the inn earlier and saw a young girl coming out of the narrow alley. The narrow alley is a straight alley full of miscellaneous items. It is behind the inn and you can see the end at a glance. There are walls on three sides and no doors on the walls. We were wondering how this girl could come out from there."

They were just passing by and were not that curious. They just took a look and that was it. Who knew that it would unexpectedly become an opportunity.

"Okay, Junior Sister," Du Xingyu said to Mu Jingjing with a smile, "At least you can rest assured that the little golden boy was not kidnapped."

Mu Jingjing looked at the broken wood on the ground, her face flushed and she was speechless.

"Brother, have you seen where the girl went?" Shen Xiuyuan asked.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The man pointed in a direction.

The shopkeeper next to him hissed. "Isn't that... the direction of the brothel?"

"Brothel?" Shen Xiuyuan's face changed. He glanced at the curious Mu Jingjing and the expressionless Lin Fan, and asked, "Is it that brothel?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "If she really went that way... you better hurry up. Once the little girl enters that street, she won't be able to get out easily."

Why is their town so prosperous? Ahem... it's the cosmetics industry... ah, those who understand will understand.

Since it is a pillar industry of the economy, the government turns a blind eye to some unreasonable and authoritarian rules in private.

Shen Xiuyuan asked for the location and wanted to rescue them immediately. He arranged for Mu Jingjing and Lin Fan to wait at the inn, but Mu Jingjing was unwilling.

"Why should we stay? When it comes to martial arts, the three of you combined are not as good as me!" Mu Jingjing protested bluntly.

In places where mortals gather, magic must not be used lightly, and fists and feet are the limit.

I'm determined!

Even though they knew that Mu Jingjing was just like that, the three brothers who were stabbed still felt heartbroken.

"I don't think we need to be so anxious either." Yu Sinian slowly fanned himself, "Since the little girl left without saying goodbye, she needs to be taught a lesson so she can learn her lesson."

At this moment, they were standing outside the inn, with no one else around.

Du Xingyu glanced at him. "If I wasn't afraid that she would end up living outside and ruin the reputation of the sect, I would want her to..."

"Junior brother!" Shen Xiuyuan seriously stopped the two guys who were eager to cause trouble. While thinking about how to persuade Mu Jingjing, Lin Fan spoke.

"Let's go," she said the most frightening words expressionlessly, "I haven't been to a brothel yet, so it's a good opportunity to go and see it for myself."
