Chapter 378 The Carefree Three Miao

The inn was small and not luxurious, but it was clean enough.

Murong Fu casually found a table and sat down. At this moment, a rather handsome young man walked over. Judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a waiter.

He smiled at Murong Fu and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, this shop has been booked by the customers over there."

They gave me ten taels of silver.

Murong Fu looked at the three strangely dressed men. Each was dressed in short black clothes and wore a bamboo hat. Murong Fu's eyesight was excellent, so he could naturally see the cloth bundles under their hats and the crescent moons on their foreheads...

Huh? Why do these three people all have crescent moons on their heads? Are they descendants of Bao Zheng?

Upon closer inspection, Murong Fu could even detect a faint smell of medicine and insects in the air.

The medicine was not good medicine, and the insect was not good insect.

The medicine is poison, and the insect is a Gu worm.

Judging from the other person's attire, Murong Fu hesitated before saying, "Miao people?"

Then he looked at the waiter in front of him and activated the favorability system:

Name: Li Xiaoyao

【Favourability: 45】

So this is the world of Chinese Paladin?!

Unlike the previous worlds, the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy has transcended the realm of martial arts. Even grandmasters and great grandmasters cannot roam freely, as there are humans, immortals, gods, demons, water monsters, Qilin, descendants of Nuwa, and more.

But there's no need to worry too much. Under normal circumstances, he won't encounter such a powerful being. In this small place in the mortal realm, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, his cultivation level will be fine.

However... Murong Fu turned to look at the three Miao people in black.

These three are not good people.

He then said to Li Xiaoyao in a calm tone, "Then I'll offer twenty taels."

Li Xiaoyao's expression immediately became lively. He was a little money-grubber at the moment. The inn hadn't had any business for a long time and was almost on the verge of collapse.

Unexpectedly, two groups of wealthy guests started arguing within a single day.

Although he was not highly educated, he still understood the principle of "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

But having already promised the Miao people, he couldn't very well go back on his word. So, with a mixture of hesitation and secret delight, he said, "Sir, this..."

"7

Murong Fu said, "Here's twenty taels. I'll take this place. Everyone else, get out."

He then took out a gold ingot from his personal storage space and threw it on the table.

It made a heavy thud.

When Li Xiaoyao saw Murong Fu's gold ingots, the silver in his hand no longer tasted good, because Murong Fu had given him gold ingots.

Li Xiaoyao, as if he had never seen anything like it before, exclaimed incredulously, "Gold...gold! Twenty taels...of gold?!"

He quickly stuffed the silver into his pocket, freed his hands to hold the gold ingot tightly, brought it to his mouth, and took a bite.

Seeing the clearly visible gums, Li Xiaoyao smiled like a child.

But then he became hesitant and said, "Sir, but I... have already received money from those three guests. Why don't you stay together?"

This inn is huge, it should be able to...

'

Before Li Xiaoyao could finish speaking, a Miao man stood up indignantly and took the gold ingot from Li Xiaoyao's hand.

Now, Li Xiaoyao only knows a smattering of martial arts, not even the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand, so he is naturally no match for that Miao person, and the most precious gold ingot is easily taken away by them.

Once he got his hands on it, he squeezed it hard, and the gold ingot spilled out from between his fingers like a cooked potato.

Gold naturally evolved into a general equivalent because of its non-deterioration, good ductility, and ease of division.

But no matter how malleable it is, an ordinary person could not mold it into such a shape with their bare hands. The Miao people were just trying to give this strange young man a hard time.

He then threw the deformed gold ingot onto Murong Fu's table. The table, which had been polished and patinated, made a loud noise, splintering many wood chips. Most of the deformed gold ingot was also embedded in the table.

Li Xiaoyao hadn't expected the Miao people to be so powerful, and was immediately afraid that they would kill his big spender.

He hurriedly said, "Young master, how about I find you a place to stay... I'll only take half of this gold..."

'

Li Xiaoyao feared that someone might die and his place would become a haunted inn, so he thought he could find a family in the fishing village to settle the young master in.

In this way, he could take half of the gold from the young master and give half of the other half to the borrower. This way, the young master would save ten taels of gold, and he and the villagers would each get five taels of gold, making everyone happy.

But clearly, Murong Fu was not satisfied.

He knew these three Miao people were no good. Their purpose in coming here was to drug Li Xiaoyao's aunt, then send Li Xiaoyao to Immortal Spirit Island to break through the island's defenses, slaughter the inhabitants, and capture Zhao Ling'er.

Huh? Zhao Ling'er!

Murong Fu suddenly realized that he was staying at a trivial inn; Zhao Ling'er was the most important person!

In the original story, her death caused Murong Fu endless regret. Thinking of this, Murong Fu thought that he had to save her. She was already an orphan... so pitiful.

Then, the sword in his hand unleashed a burst of light, and in an instant, everyone in the shop felt their hair stand on end.

Before they could react, a flash of sword light appeared, and all three Miao men had a wound on their throats, but no blood flowed out.

In an instant, all three of them died.

Li Xiaoyao was startled by what he saw. He thought the young master was going to be harmed by these three people, but he didn't expect him to turn the tables and kill them in an instant.

But to kill so casually, that's not the chivalrous hero he envisioned!

"Young master, you... you're just staying at an inn... there's no need to kill someone."

Li Xiaoyao cried out in his heart: It's over, it's over! Someone's dead! We can't hide it anymore. Business was already bad, now it's completely ruined!!!

Murong Fu said, "Young brother, go and see what they are carrying. They are not good people. They have countless lives on their hands."

I am also acting on behalf of Heaven.

With suspicion in his eyes, Li Xiaoyao began to search the corpse.

Just then, a disheveled drunkard carrying a sword walked in.

Looking at Murong Fu with burning eyes and a clear gaze, he said, "A fine sword!"

Murong Fu immediately recognized him as the Drunken Sword Immortal and said with a smile, "He is Li Xiaoyao. Didn't you come to find him?"

We'll meet again someday.

Now that the Miao people are dead, Li Xiaoyao has no reason to go to Immortal Spirit Island. Murong Fu naturally has to hurry over there, because he can't be slow!

After taking out several jars of fine wine from his personal space, he said to Li Xiaoyao, "Li Xiaoyao, here's the gold. You can give him a few more jars of fine wine."

My treat!

After saying that, he drifted away.

"Impressive lightness skill!"

The Drunken Sword Immortal praised Murong Fu's agility once again.

He then sat down, opened the wine jar, and instantly, overcome by the urge to drink, shouted, "Good wine!"

They started drinking it while holding it.

Li Xiaoyao naturally found many contraband items on the three men: poisons, Gu worms, and weapons.

He believed Murong Fu's words to a large extent. Seeing that the Sword Immortal had already started drinking, Li Xiaoyao walked over and painstakingly used a small knife to remove the piece of gold.

He chuckled.
