C127 It Turned out to be a Trap
Ever since the Ghost Thief's Mansion descended the mountain, Lin Yuchen had been speeding up his journey. In less than three days, he had arrived at Xinze City, which was only a few dozen miles away from Chengdu.
This was indeed the way back to the Sword Sect, but he had taken a long detour for no reason.
Although when he came out, Yu Zhenzhen and Black Widow had repeatedly told Lin Yuchen to return to the Sword Sect as soon as possible. Firstly, he wanted to see his' aged 'father, and secondly, he wanted to learn the Nine Dragons Spell as soon as possible.
When he first left the Ghost Thief's Mansion, Lin Yuchen was somewhat' eager to return '.
But not long after, he hesitated again.
Therefore, he had no idea why he had come here.
Lin Yuchen's plan was to stay in Xinze for a while. After all, it was getting late. Then, he would take a stroll in Chengdu City. If necessary, he would go to the Profound Martial Hall and visit his eldest senior brother.
He would first release the news that he was going back to the Sword Sect. Although Lin Yuchen had already sent his "token" back to the Sword Sect a few months ago, he didn't know if Lin Chenghou and the others had understood it.
Lin Yuchen had a heavy heart. He held his horse and walked slowly, step by step. As he walked, he suddenly stopped in front of an inn.
He stared at the inn for a long time. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Lin Yuchen could clearly determine that this inn belonged to the Sword Sect, but it seemed like this inn didn't want anyone to know about it. Furthermore, Lin Yuchen was sure that this inn wasn't built by the Sword Sect. It was bought not long ago.
Everyone knew that the Sword Sect was one of the four big sects in the Jianghu. In terms of martial arts, the Nine Dragons Spell could shake the Pugilistic World. Sword Sect Leader, Lin Chenghou, was in a high position in the Lord of Martial Arts Community. In terms of financial resources, the Sword Sect could be said to be the richest. The industries under the Sword Sect were related to medicine, restaurants, and dozens of other industries. In some industries in the Chuanshu, it could be said to be a monopoly. In terms of reputation, the Sword Sect's business had always been trustworthy. They had a very high reputation in the martial arts world.
If it was before, any industry under the Sword Sect would definitely write the word "Sword Sect" big and high.
However, it was different in these two years. Due to the rise of the Yang Family's Hero Convergence, the exclusion and blame they had on the disciples of the Sword Sect had become obvious.
Lin Yuchen had already heard about this when he first entered the pugilistic world. Especially the disciples of the Sword Sect who were near Chengdu. They were in a very difficult situation. . .
The more Lin Yuchen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Without realizing it, he walked in.
As soon as Lin Yuchen arrived at the inn, a waiter greeted him, "Customer, you. . . " Before he could finish speaking, he was already dumbstruck. He stuttered for a long time and did not say a word.
It was not because he was handsome by Lin Yuchen's face, but because he was frightened by Lin Yuchen's current face. The broken bamboo pole was placed on an angular face. The two curved eyes on the horns were cold and forceful, piercing into the hearts of everyone who looked at it. A deep scar extended from the nose all the way to the left ear. This caused the left side of the face to be severely deformed. It was unknown whether his originally tall figure was due to his clothes or because he had done something else that made him appear exceptionally tall and burly. He was carrying two large sabers on his back, and he was filled with killing intent.
When he saw the waiter behaving like this, he was filled with killing intent. Lin Yuchen was already overjoyed in his heart, but he did not say anything. Staring at the waiter, the waiter was so scared that his legs were trembling. He suddenly felt weak in his legs and squatted on the ground.
When he saw this, a middle aged man hurriedly came forward and bowed. "Customer, please forgive me. The child that just arrived has never seen the market. Please forgive him. Oh, my name is Liu Cheng. I am the manager here. If you have any instructions, feel free to tell me. "
"No problem, no problem. " Lin Yuchen said coldly.
"Feng Wu, you useless thing. Hurry up and apologize to the guest. " Liu Cheng turned his head and said to the waiter.
Only then did Feng Wu come back to his senses and said, "Greetings, guest. Please forgive me. "
"No problem, no problem. "
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help the guest get the horse," Feng Wu said.
"Oh. " Feng Wu quickly got up from the ground and quietly took the reins from Lin Yuchen.
Liu Cheng followed Lin Yuchen into the inn and asked, "Customer, are you staying or eating?"
"I am staying at the inn and eating at the same time. " Without waiting for Liu Cheng to speak again, Lin Yuchen said, "One upper room and a few side dishes. A pot of good wine. " It wasn't that Lin Yuchen didn't want to talk, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his mouth if he wasn't careful. He said something that he shouldn't have said, which he missed out on. That would be a waste of his time.
Liu Cheng turned around and shouted, "Ma Liu, go and clean up a room. Get the kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes and a pot of good wine. "
"It's not a table of good dishes. It's just a few side dishes. "
"Oh. Customer, you don't have to mind. Just now, Feng Wu had offended you and did not treat you well. These few dishes will be treated as an apology. I hope you will not decline. "
Lin Yuchen couldn't help but feel proud of himself. It seemed that there were benefits to putting on makeup. At least there was a free lunch. Although he was very happy in his heart, his face did not change at all. He said, "Up to you. "
"Where did the guest come from?" Liu Cheng wiped the table in front of Lin Yuchen and said with a smile.
Lin Yuchen looked at Liu Cheng and did not say anything.
Liu Cheng continued to smile and said, "Oh, the guest looks unfamiliar, and his accent doesn't seem like a local, so he asked too much. Please forgive me. "
"You don't have to worry, I'm just a passerby. I'll leave after a few days. "
"You worry too much. That's not what I meant. It's just that although this shop is small, it has been here for a few years. Although I haven't seen much of the world, I am still a local. The customer is so arrogant, He must be someone who has seen a lot of things, but he is a guest from afar. Those who were unfamiliar with the place could not help but feel somewhat unhappy. If there is any need for you to come to my shop and my shop, Liu Cheng is willing to serve you. "
Lin Yuchen looked at Liu Cheng and thought for a while before saying, "I told you, he is just a passerby. He will leave after staying for a few days. "
"Huh?" Liu Cheng was stunned. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I see. I will not disturb him for now. "
Seeing Liu Cheng's reaction, Lin Yuchen felt helpless. "I told you, he is just a passerby. He will leave after staying for a few days. " This was the truth, and it was purely a literal meaning.
However, the one who said it was unintentional, and the one who heard it was intentional. Liu Cheng had clearly misunderstood.
Of course, Lin Yuchen didn't care if it was a misunderstanding or not. It was just that he didn't expect that the people of Sword Sect would live so cautiously now. They were so frightened that even the grass and trees would be attacked by them. This made Lin Yuchen angry and sad at the same time.
Lin Yuchen didn't want to give them any more trouble, but it seemed like it was the opposite!
But today, Lin Yuchen could eat and rest in peace. This was because when it came to people like Liu Cheng, who were meticulous and careful in their actions, the most taboo was to alert the enemy. As for tomorrow, Lin Yuchen had already left. . .
