Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Even after spending seven years in the Lingyun Sect and coming into contact with these trivial and useless pieces of information, it was still all the same old stuff.

Feng Zui commented on the hidden stakeout, and the scout lowered his head, not daring to speak.

After a long while, Feng Zui stood up and said, "Let's go back. Tell the spies... stop watching the Grand Elder of the Lingyun Sect and start watching their Sect Leader instead."

"Yes!"

After the people on the ground left, Feng Zui slowly walked to the inn window.

In the darkness, the wooden windows were propped up, and the cool breeze from outside rushed in fiercely.

The martial arts world... seems to be getting more and more chaotic.

Three years ago, Yu Ci, the senior sister of the Lingyun Sect, suffered a qi deviation. The leader of the Lingyun Sect sought out famous doctors in the martial arts world, which made the whole martial arts world aware of the situation. The former number one swordsman of Lingyun was now useless.

Over the past three years, there has been little news about Yu Ci within the Lingyun Sect. The information that came from the spies was mostly about how much the sect leader liked this former disciple.

But now—

Three years later.

I represented the Lingyun Sect at the New Martial Arts Tournament, bringing so many amateurs with me, yet the Lingyun Sect didn't send a single elder to accompany me.

and also.

Legend has it that Yu Ci, who suffered from memory loss and loss of internal energy due to a qi deviation, has now displayed...

The inner strength to rise over fifty years.

Although he's stupid, you can still tell he has the intelligence of a normal person.

They were all telling Feng Zui the same thing.

The members of the Demonic Cult believed that their spies had penetrated deep into the martial arts world, but they did not know that the hidden agents planted over the years had not penetrated into the bones of others, but were merely embedded in their flesh.

However, nothing much happened.

Now that she's involved, she'll definitely get to the bottom of this.

Looking at the bright moon in the dark night, Feng Zui laughed.

-

The next morning.

The two of them took six diced carrots to the street.

Longcheng was indeed bustling. Strolling through the streets, there were shops selling all sorts of things. A group of children had never seen such a dazzling array of goods before, and they were all excited, buying this and that without hesitation.

He never hesitated to pay on his own.

Feng Zui watched quietly for a while, then asked, "Junior Sister Yu, how much silver do you have left?"

"what?"

How much silver?

Well... I really haven't counted the remaining times.

Although she had been kidnapped by bandits, they didn't search her body because their target was her, not her money, and the silver notes she had hidden in her undergarment were not confiscated.

As for the amount, there were too many banknotes at the time, so she didn't count them, but just looking at a few large ones, it should be more than five thousand taels.

I don't quite understand why you need to bring so much money to participate in a martial arts tournament.

"What is Senior Sister Feng looking to buy? If you're short of money, I can lend you some temporarily."

Feng Zui looked at Yu Ci for a while and then nodded. "I received news that Swordsman City may hold a trade fair in the city before the Rising Star Martial Arts Tournament begins."

“There’s a famous sword at the Chamber of Commerce…” she paused, “I really like it.”

"In that case, Senior Sister, how much does that sword cost?"

"Four thousand taels," Feng Zui said without blinking.

The key point is that Yu Ci also replied without blinking, "Okay."

After that, Feng Zui laughed.

If all goes well, and they travel from Lingyun Sect to Swordsman City along the original route, it will be difficult for these fourteen people to afford lodging and meals for even a hundred taels of silver.

Then, the little fool brought more than four thousand taels of silver.

Ok.

It seems that something is about to break through the soil.

-

After agreeing to lend Feng Zui four thousand taels of silver, Yu Ci reminded everyone that it was fine to buy small trinkets in Longcheng, but it was best not to buy large items to save some money.

Upon hearing that they were buying things for Feng Zui, the group of children all restrained their shopping desires.

If you want to buy something, it's usually some small woodworking items from a stall, or some pastries and candied hawthorns.

Later, because everyone had eaten too many pastries, they were all very full and it was time to go back around noon.

Noon...

The sun was still out at noon.

Back at the inn, Little Carrot Head was as quiet as ever, and the group in the room were happily playing with the little trinkets they'd bought that day. But Yu Ci was a different story...

I sat in the inn for a long time yesterday feeling lost, and now I'm here so early!

After lingering in the room for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yu Ci coughed twice, went to the side room to tell the children not to run around, and asked Ling Luo to lead the group to watch over the children before going to find Feng Zui again.

"Senior Sister Feng! It's still early, why don't we go for a while longer?"

Feng Zui was eager to uncover Yu Ci's secret, and upon hearing her invitation, he gladly accepted.

Walking side by side on the road between two people is a completely different feeling from walking with a group of children.

No one was making a fuss. In the city bathed in the glow of the setting sun, there were crowds of people everywhere, but the only people you recognized were the people around you. What kind of feeling is that?

Feng Zui, who had spent most of his life wandering the world alone, could not describe this feeling.

I just feel that sometimes it's easier to feel lonely when you're alone.

……

After going around in circles, the two of them ended up back at a place they had visited before.

It was afternoon, just as the people of Longcheng were having their lunch break. As I passed by a restaurant, the aroma wafting from the wooden window was simply intoxicating.

Yu Ci's stomach, which hadn't even had any pastries before, rumbled loudly, much to his dismay.

Remainder: ...

Shame!

After standing by the restaurant for a while longer, Yu asked Feng Zui if he wanted to go to the next street to eat wontons.

"...wonton?"

"Junior Sister Yu has been looking at this restaurant; aren't you going in?"

"Ah." Yu Ci glanced at the very luxurious restaurant over there and then shook his head. "No, that restaurant looks very grand, the food must be expensive."

"I once heard from Lingyun Sect that a meal at a good tavern in the outer city costs over a hundred taels of silver."

"This afternoon I told my junior classmates to be frugal. If I were to walk into this restaurant now..."

Isn't that a form of behavior that involves a hidden "green tea bitch"?

Her analysis was so logical that it made Feng Zui want to laugh.

"So what if I went?"

"Those junior brothers and sisters at the inn haven't had any food either, right? When we go to the restaurant, we can just bring them some too, won't we?"

"Forehead--"

At this moment, Yu Ci shook his head even more vigorously.

"I just mentioned that I would lend you some money to buy a sword, but this restaurant looks expensive, so it's better to save your money."

After all, it's a sword! It costs four thousand taels!

Feng Zui saw it clearly, this person...

He kept saying no, but his eyes kept looking at the restaurant.

People from reputable sects seem to be like this: they claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune, yet they can't help but stir up trouble in the martial arts world, eager to prove themselves.

but……

This strange inconsistency between words and actions doesn't evoke any dislike in the person before you.

On the contrary, it makes people feel...

Ok.

Some of them are delicious.

Chapter 106 Yu Ci's memories may have stopped three years ago.

Yu Ci spoke for a while at the entrance of the restaurant, and Feng Zui nodded. Then, when Yu Ci paused, Feng Zui interjected, "It's a rare trip to Longcheng. Since you like it, come in."

"It's my treat."

"No...aren't you going to buy a sword?"

"The sword costs four thousand taels, but I'm not penniless." With that, Feng Zui grabbed Yu Ci's hand and pulled him forward. "It's just a matter of being slightly short of money."

As she walked, Yu Ci tried to struggle, but Feng Zui was too strong, and she couldn't move at all.

And so, the two of them entered the restaurant holding hands in a rather peculiar way.

The interior furnishings of this restaurant did not disappoint its grandeur.

The lobby was bright and spacious, with ample space between the tables. There were landscape screens on both sides, and some orchids in the corner. Although no one was playing the zither, there was still a fine xylophone under the platform to the left of the wooden staircase.

Of course, these are not the point.

The key point is that the aroma, which is already enticing outside, becomes even more intense inside the restaurant.
