Those eyes were obviously young people's eyes, but they carried an inexplicably strong murderous aura.

Xian Yu couldn't help being stunned in place.

The proprietress caught a glimpse of him, took the jade plate and looked around, a drop of golden-red blood soon lit up in the center of the jade plate.She lightly brushed the face of the card with her index finger, and a top-grade monster crystal nucleus flew out from it.

"This is a monster that is about to reach the fifth level." The corners of her eyes slightly raised, and she scanned the man in black, "It only took you two days, how hard is it?"

Xian Yu thought, they should know each other.

It's a pity that the man didn't have the intention to greet her, and repeated in a cold voice: "Credit now."

"..."

It's as unkind as ever.

The proprietress curled her lips, took out a mustard ring from her pocket, threw it on the cabinet together with the jade token, and said lazily: "[-] spirit stones, I counted them myself, and I will not be responsible for leaving the cabinet."

The man took the mustard ring and left without looking back.

Xian Yu subconsciously looked at his back.

The body and figure are like a young man, not very old, probably around twenty.He has a wide back and a narrow waist, and his body wrapped in plain clothes reveals smooth and tight muscle curves.His palm was clean and wide, with a thick layer of calluses on his fingertips.

He walked up the stairs quickly, when the figures intersected, Xian Yu saw a knife pinned to his waist, a very sharp machete.

"Xiao Lang-jun, Xiao Lang-jun?"

The proprietress yelled several times before Xian Yu came back to her senses.

"Scared?" Seeing Xian Yu's slightly startled look, she couldn't help laughing, "Is that man very evil? I was also shocked when I saw him for the first time."

Xian Yu smiled perfunctorily.

How could he be frightened.

He just thinks...

Xian Yu glanced in that man's direction again, "Who was that man just now? Was he also a casual cultivator?"

"Yeah, that's the 'top card' of our Feihualou." The proprietress blinked, "I can't blame him for having a bad temper...you remember to avoid him."

"Is it so scary? I thought he was cold and not talkative." Zhao Sheng asked curiously, "The highest level is the emerald jade card, right? He looks about my age at a young age. Is it such a high level of cultivation?"

The landlady's smile faded immediately: "Brother, you may have misunderstood this."

Zhao Sheng: "..."

To the master is Xiao Langjun, to him is the younger brother.

Does he look so old? !

"You don't know it when you're new here. The man just now won the jadeite jade card because of his cultivation, and he is only at the golden core stage."

Sensing Zhao Sheng's surprise, the proprietress explained, "He is a ruthless master. He dares to take on any job in order to earn Lingshi. It is strange to say that his sword skills are also This is one of the best people I've ever met, but it's a pity that this cultivation base just can't improve..."

Before he finished speaking, Xian Yu suddenly smiled.

"His sword is very sinful, and the sword of killing people will naturally not be able to become a fairy."

The proprietress couldn't help being taken aback.

She frowned, but before she had time to say anything, Xian Yu had already changed her indifferent expression, and raised her hand to button the counter lightly. When she took it back, there were two taels of silver on the counter.

He paused, "The one opposite to him."

"..."

Now the proprietress looked at him more complicatedly.

really weird.

She has seen so many people of all kinds, but she can't see through this little man.

She was thinking about something on her mind, and when she handed over the key, she heard the person in front of her ask, "What's his name?"

The proprietress was stunned for a while before she realized that the 'he' Xian Yu asked was the one who went upstairs just now.

"I don't know." She shook her head, "He never told others, and he also used a pseudonym when registering the jade badge."

Xian Yu took the key thoughtfully, and when she looked up again, a faint smile appeared on her face, "Thank you."

"..."

The proprietress also forced a smile.

She watched Xian Yu and the young man behind him disappear from view, and after a while, she patted her forehead annoyed.

Maybe she is overthinking?

Isn't that just a foundation building, she is anyway...how could she be mistaken.

After entering the room, Zhao Sheng took off the blanket, quickly set the Kang on fire, wrapped himself in a thick quilt, sat at the foot of the bed to warm up for a while, and then felt himself alive.

Xian Yu put down her burden and was counting their money.

Zhao Sheng patted the bed, "Master, come and sit for a while, isn't it cold?"

"It's okay." Xian Yu shook her head, "If you're afraid of the cold, go to bed first."

The price of Feihua Building is high, and the village chief can't help them much if he wants to. Their money is not enough to support them to open two rooms in luxury.Zhao Shengfan couldn't stand the cold, so he planned to make a bed on the floor and make do with it.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Zhao Sheng said, suddenly recalling what happened just now, he couldn't help but said, "Master, did you just..."

"Ok?"

Zhao Sheng thought for a while, and then put it in a more euphemistic way, "Do you not like that kid next door?"

"???"

Xian Yu raised her head, her face full of surprise, "No. Why do you think so?"

"Didn't you just say that his sword killing is too serious to become a fairy?" Zhao Sheng muttered, "I have never seen you so... excited."

As a cultivator, anyone who has the choice will not do casual cultivation.You must know that there are very few soaring in the orthodox Taoism, let alone casual cultivators. If you choose this path, you will almost ruin your future.Most casual cultivators rely on self-study due to lack of resources, so few of them live beyond the age of three hundred.

They are all people struggling to survive, so why should the master be so mean.

Of course, these words are too rebellious, and Zhao Sheng dare not say them.

He didn't dare to say it, but every word was written on his face, Xian Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"When I said the crime was serious, I didn't mean him, but..." Xian Yu paused, and changed the question, "Since ancient times, scribes have often worn swords. Think about it, why don't they wear swords?"

Zhao Sheng thought for a while about those elegant monks with lun scarves who had a crescent moon knife pinned to their waists, and suddenly felt hot eyes, "It doesn't fit the temperament, it feels too rude."

"Yes." He approved, "Yes, you are right."

"The sword is fierce, domineering, and vulgar. The sword is a gentleman in the weapon. When you make a move, you want to hurt people, but you have to leave room for it. It can come and go freely within a square inch. But the sword was originally made for killing. It It is a real weapon made with killing intent, rampant and full of courage, so there is no way out."

"Cultivating the Tao is the way of ruthlessness and desire, the way of natural change." Xian Yu frowned slightly, "I used to be very careful when choosing swords for my apprentices. The master used spiritual power to control the sword, and the sword itself It will affect the master's cultivation. The blade is sharp, if you don't leave a way for others to survive, how can you keep your own way of life?"

Zhao Sheng half-understood, "But master, is it wrong for him to kill the demon?"

Xian Yu paused slightly.

Zhao Sheng looked at him incomprehensibly.

"Monsters are also living beings, regardless of high or low." Xian Yu suddenly stopped at this point, and smiled, "Forget it, you don't need to understand so many reasons. You just need to know that swords and swords are incompatible, we just look down on each other. "

Having said that, Zhao Sheng understood.

Unfortunately, he originally thought that maybe the little brother just now could become the first apprentice after the master woke up.But it doesn't look like that person has a good temper to get along with, so let's forget it...

Zhao Sheng quickly forgot him, "What is Master's plan for tomorrow?"

Xian Yu poured a cup of tea, and it was still cold.

He put down the cup, looked at the tea stalks floating on the water, and said, "You will know by tomorrow."

After dinner, Zhao Sheng insisted on sharing the same bed with Xian Yu, and refused to let the master sleep on the floor. Xian Yu excused him by saying that he wanted to meditate, and let him go to bed first.

Not long after, there was a slight snoring sound on the bed.

After he fell asleep, Xian Yu managed to operate a small cycle, and his stagnant meridians ached slightly.With so many things in his mind, he couldn't calm down, so he simply went downstairs and ordered a pot of hot tea.

There were no customers in the outer hall, the candles at the counter were flickering, and the proprietress was still settling accounts and yawned.

Xian Yu drank tea quietly, raised her eyebrows and eyes slightly, there was still a light on in the man's room, and the light overflowed gently through the crack of the window.

He sat quietly downstairs all night, and coincidentally, the beige paper window was also quietly lit all night.

When Zhao Sheng woke up the next day, he couldn't find his master anywhere in the room. He even looked through the cracks of the bed, but there was still no one, which scared him into a panic.He was about to check to see if the carriage was still there, when he went downstairs, he saw Xian Yu sitting at a table in the corner, with buns, rice porridge and side dishes in front of him.

"woke up?"

Xian Yu beckoned to him, "Come and eat."

"Master, why are you here?"

Zhao Sheng scratched his face and walked over in a daze, "Master, why didn't you tell me when you got up."

He said with lingering fear: "I came together and found no one in the room. I was frightened to death. I thought something happened to you."

"I just wanted to let you sleep a little longer. Besides, how can something happen to me? It's fine if no one else happens." Xian Yu smiled, "Eat quickly, there are things to do later."

Zhao Sheng nodded obediently, and just as he sat down, he suddenly let out a sigh.

"It's not as cold in the morning as it is in the evening."

"Yeah." Xian Yu nodded, "I asked the proprietress, and she said that the weather in this place is different in the morning, noon and evening. The temperature is moderate in the morning, hot at noon, and refreshing in the afternoon, but it will snow again in the evening, and the cold is unbearable. "

Zhao Sheng complained, "This day almost collects all the seasons of the year."

After finishing speaking, I remembered again, "Wait, don't we..."

"Yes." Xian Yu stuffed another siu mai into his hand, "I have to leave after breakfast, you can't bear the snow wind outside, we have to get back before nightfall."

Hearing what the master said, Zhao Sheng immediately ate up the rice porridge and buns in front of him, and asked vaguely while swallowing, "Master, have you figured out what task we are going to take?"

"Yeah." A mysterious smile rose from the corner of Xian Yu's mouth, "Thought it out."

……

"Are you sure you want to take this mission?"

Behind the counter, the proprietress changed into a royal blue dress, which made her look radiant, but now that beautiful and delicate face was full of doubts.

She glanced at the direction Xian Yu was pointing at, she was right; she looked at the task again, she was right.But looking at this content, it is wrong everywhere.

She couldn't help asking again: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"You know..."

"I know this mission is dangerous."

"but……"

"But it's not mentioned in the rules. For some missions that are too dangerous, you can form a team yourself." Xian Yu slightly raised the corners of her lips, "It's clearly written on the sign hanging behind. Didn't the proprietress forget it?"

"But, but—"

The proprietress is also stupid, the rules say so, but she has never seen a person with a wooden brand dare to share a share with an emerald brand!

Although their Feihualou mainly does business for casual cultivators, many sect disciples will come to them to register their badges. They just want to show off their abilities and prestige so that they can take it back and brag about it.For the sake of convenience, she specially added this rule, which can be regarded as opening a back door, so that it is convenient for casual cultivators to take these noble young masters to accept tasks and brush cards.

This routine is not uncommon, but the three parties benefit, the proprietress just turns a blind eye and pretends to be confused.

But no matter how clear she was, she had never encountered Xian Yu's situation.

"Since there is nothing wrong with the rules, of course I can take on this task, right?"

Seeing the gentle smile on his lips, the proprietress gasped inexplicably, "That's what I said, but you have to find someone to team up with you first..."

Before the words fell, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs.

The man in black and wrapped in a veil still had the emerald plaque hanging around his waist and a small bundle on his shoulder. He walked down the stairs expressionlessly holding a knife. He was halfway there when he suddenly noticed something strange.

His hands naturally lowered, his gaze fell obliquely to the counter, meeting Xian Yu's and the proprietress' eyes in the air.

There was silence all around.

Those two people also seemed to be frozen, standing by the counter, staring at him with faint eyes.

"...?"

In those expressionless, indifferent eyes, there was a rare hint of bewilderment.
