Chapter 1674A: Yushan Master
Chapter 1674A: Yushan Master
A letter had been delivered from the pier.
After checking and reading it, Qin Yu stopped cultivating. He checked his body’s condition and a smile formed on his face.
Staying at Heaven Fragrance Residence was indeed quite expensive, but it was worth it.
Getting up to go out, he arrived outside Rourou’s room. Without waiting for him to knock, the door opened from the inside. Rourou walked out; she was holding a fruit that he had not seen before and was eating it with vigor.
Qin Yu greeted her before going straight to the point, “There’s a letter from the pier. The ferry will arrive tomorrow and they want us to go down earlier.”
Rourou bit into the fruit and said, “Buy three tickets.”
Without waiting for Qin Yu to ask for the reason, he saw black-robed Sprout who had walked out from behind Rourou. His eyes could not help but widen.
Rourou added, “She will be following us for a period of time.”
“Sprout greets Master.”
Qin Yu thought about all the movements and activity that he detected a few nights ago. Because Rourou was around, he did not give much thought to it.
Now, it looked like this black-robed woman known as Sprout had come here because of that night’s incident.
Another chess piece? Qin Yu used his eyes to ask Rourou.
She nodded casually.
Qin Yu coughed lightly and nodded towards Sprout as a greeting. Then, he looked at Rourou again and asked, “Are we just going to leave like that?”
To this, Rourou replied, “We haven’t settled the bill with Heaven Fragrance Residence; we can’t possibly stay here any longer.”
Qin Yu thought for a bit, and after confirming that this was an excuse and seeing that she had no other explanation, he said, “Then let’s go.”
Slight worry appeared on Sprout’s face, but she looked at the two people in front of her and after a few moments of hesitation, she decided to lower her head and not say anything.
Golden Toad Palace’s Elder Sun thought that she would have to wait for a long period of time for that damned servant to appear. She had already mentally prepared herself to stay here and wait until her death if she had to.
Then, today, the courtyard doors suddenly opened. Elder Sun, who had been strictly observing the place, suddenly had a change in expression.
Could it be that her divine sense had been wrong? Maybe that damned servant was not in that courtyard. If this was the case, then she would be in big trouble.
However, very quickly, Elder Sun realized that she was overthinking this. Her divine sense was right. Right after this realization, her face started to redden with anger and hot fury filled her chest. In her heart, there were only two words that flipped around in her heart – ‘Intolerable bullies!’
Qin Yu was leading the way, followed by Rourou and then Sprout who had her head lowered. They walked out confidently like that without any form of concealment. Couldn’t you guys at least put on some kind of disguise?!
To put it plainly, this was the greatest expression of underestimating her. Did they really not take Golden Toad Palace seriously? I can’t bear this any longer!
Elder Sun was furious and could not be bothered anymore. Her figure flashed and she moved to block them. With gritted teeth, she said, “Great, I’ve caught you red-handed with your stolen goods today. What do you both still have to say for yourselves?” Her gaze was icy as it landed on Sprout, “Damned servant, wait until I bring you back to Golden Toad Palace. You will regret what you have done!”
Rourou was expressionless as she commented, “Qin Yu, someone is blocking the way.”
Qin Yu coughed lightly, “This fellow cultivator from Golden Toad Palace, can you give way?”
Elder Sun was so mad she almost went into a frenzy, “You guys better not be such intolerable bullies; my Golden Toad Palace is not easily provoked. Hurry up and return this damned servant to me, otherwise, I will not let this go easily!”
Qin Yu thought for a few moments before turning to say, “Sprout.”
“Yes, Master?” Sprout walked out.
Qin Yu raised his hand and pointed at Elder Sun, “Do you recognize this person?”
Sprout shook her head.
“Oh, then, I’m sorry but you must have gotten the wrong person,” Qin Yu said to Elder Sun, “I don’t know whether Golden Toad Palace is easily provoked, but I will not pursue this matter of you recognizing the wrong person if you step away now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you about this.”
Qin Yu understood what Rourou meant to do, so from the bottom of his heart, what he was saying now could really be considered to be wise advice.
It was a pity that Elder Sun was really driven crazy and could not absorb his words at all. After being overbearing for so many years, it was the first time she had met someone more arrogant than her.
“Hua Xiangrong!” Elder Sun bellowed furiously. “My servant has now been found; are you really going to just keep looking?”
Her voice rolled like thunder, spreading throughout the entire Heaven Fragrance Residence.
Hua Xiangrong had an ugly expression on her face. Her figure appeared outside Heaven Code Courtyard and she looked at Qin Yu and Rourou. She thought to herself, ‘Couldn’t both of you have tried to hide it a bit? Why must you be so tough?’
However, Lady Bull Bean had already given her orders to take care of these people. Even though she knew that there were many eyes on her, she could only hold on and not waver.
“Elder Sun, there are still many guests in Heaven Fragrance Residence. Yelling and making a scene here is demeaning.”
Hearing this, everything clicked for Elder Sun. No one here was a fool and couldn’t understand what Hua Xiangrong was trying to say. Who exactly were these people who had stayed at Heaven Code Courtyard? Heaven Fragrance Residence had shown that they would rather lose face than offend these guests.
However, Elder Sun was definitely not willing to back down. Furthermore, she had already compensated Heaven Fragrance Residence in gold. If she lost the servant too…just thinking about the consequences made her shiver.
She couldn’t care less anymore. Even if she knew that these two people were not easily provoked, she could only grit her teeth and hold on until the end.
“Innkeeper Hua, I am asking you this with the status of an elder from Golden Toad Palace. Did I or did I not bring this servant with me to Heaven Fragrance Residence?”
Hua Xiangrong wanted to deny this, but unfortunately, on the day that Elder Sun had checked into the inn, she had met a few acquaintances and had even exchanged pleasantries with each other. Of these acquaintances, there were two that were still staying at Heaven Fragrance Residences.
Additionally, she also knew that in these few days when Elder Sun had lain in wait, she had taken the initiative to visit these two acquaintances.
If Hua Xiangrong really denied this, Heaven Fragrance Residence’s reputation would be ruined.
Taking a deep breath, she nodded her head, “This servant was indeed brought here by Elder Sun.”
Elder Sun clapped her hands, “Good! That night, this damned servant stole a rare treasure that belongs to Golden Toad Palace and escaped into this Heaven Code Courtyard. Back then, Innkeeper Hua did not let me conduct a search. On your account, I chose to wait until today. Now, this damned servant is standing in front of me and you. Innkeeper Hua, are you going to ignore it?”
Qin Yu frowned as he heard what Elder Sun said. He could not help but use divine telepathy to communicate, “Rourou, what exactly is going on? Even if you can’t stand this person from Golden Toad Palace, there is no need to make such a big fuss. The main point is that our actions are now unreasonable.”
Rourou’s voice rang in his head, “After this, it will be none of our business anymore. You can just sit back, relax, and watch the show.”
Qin Yu’s heart was shaken. Indeed, things were not as simple as they seemed. Rourou always did things in such a coarse manner, as if she was purposely baiting someone. Then, this forced Heaven Fragrance Residence’s lady boss Hua Xiangrong to make an appearance…however, they were just staying here temporarily; what had it got to do with anyone else? Furthermore, why did Heaven Fragrance Residence speak on their behalf…er, from Innkeeper Hua’s expression, she looked like she was put on the spot. She actually really wanted to help them.
His heart was exhausted, and he felt like he was surrounded by deep fog and could not understand many things. The good thing was that Rourou seemed to have sensed his current condition and added, “After leaving this place, I will explain everything to you.”
Of course, the main point was that if things really went the way she predicted, Qin Yu would be required to pull his own weight in the future too, so he needed to know what was truly going on.
