Chapter 511 Smell
Xi Quan did not stay at the welcoming banquet for long. He just showed up at the gathering of the city guards, said hello, and made acquaintance with Lou Xiu. This was an initial contact, but the real friendship still needed to be established in private.

He left again soon, and the proprietress Yin Xu personally saw him off.

This time when Xi Quan went downstairs, he looked straight ahead and didn't even look at Shi Chun and his gang directly, but he still saw them out of the corner of his eyes.

After seeing off the guests, Yin Xu stood outside the door and gradually stopped smiling. When he went back inside and went upstairs, he did not look directly at Shi Chun and his group. However, he noticed from the corner of his eye that they were staring at him. An unexpected smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smoothed down his hair, feeling confident of his own charm.

The welcoming banquet, with all the eating, drinking and fun, lasted for quite a long time. It was almost late at night when the City Guards left one after another, smelling of alcohol.

After asking intentionally, Hua Chong also came close to Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang and whispered in their ears, introducing each of them one by one.

Hua Chong didn't know Lou Xiu, but he guessed it by looking at the way she was treated as a star.

Shi Chun had also seen Lou Xiu. He was an eyewitness when A Xun was killed. How could he forget it?

The proprietress Yin Xu warmly saw the guests to the door and waited until all the guests had left before turning inside. She saw Shi Chun and his gang who were calling the waiter to pay the bill.

So she raised her hand to the waiter, and the waiter immediately understood and stopped moving.

Yin Xu walked to the table, looked at the leftovers, and asked with a smile, "You guys are unfamiliar. Is this your first time in our store?"

Wu Jinliang was amused. "What are you talking about, boss lady? Is this still a small shop?"

Yin Xu smiled modestly, but her eyes fell on Shi Chun. She had been secretly observing the three of them for so long, and had been welcoming and seeing off people here for so many years. If she couldn't even tell who was the leader among the three, then she would have been working in vain.

Shi Chun stood up, pointed at something on the table, and asked, "How much is it?"

Yin Xu smiled and said, "Since we meet by chance, and since this is your first visit to our shop, I will treat you today. I hope you can take care of our business in the future. I am Yin Xu, Yin for Yinhong and Xu for Xu. I have been running Zhulang Pavilion for some years. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to look for me. By the way, I have not asked for your names yet."

The three men looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that this was their first time to get a free meal. It was also Hua Chong's first time to spend money in such an expensive place.

Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang also knew that it was expensive here, but they had money. They just didn't expect to encounter a situation where they had money but couldn't spend it.

Hua Chong was not sure what to say, so he looked at the other two's reactions.

Whenever Wu Jinliang encountered something unpredictable, he would also look to Shi Chun's reaction.

Just by seeing this, Yin Xu smiled even more, and became more certain that Shi Chun was the leader of the group.

Shi Chun thought about it, and without being pretentious or refusing, he smiled and nodded and said, "I am Wang Ping."

So Wu Jinliang also said, "Gao He."

But his eyes were quietly and closely examining the woman's plump, straight and fair figure, and he found that the woman had a pair of extremely attractive peach blossom eyes.

The skinny Hua Chong immediately puffed out his chest and said, "It's Hua Chong."

Yin Xu then extended his hand to see the guest off. After Shi Chun came out, he walked beside her with a green veil in his hand, smiling all the way. When he saw her off to the door, he asked, "Brother Wang, are you staying here as a guest, or do you have a place to stay? If you are new here and have nowhere to stay, my 'Zhu Lang Pavilion' is not the best inn in Yaoshan City, but it is still pretty good. You may... "

Just then, a gust of wind blew from Shi Chun's direction. Before he could finish the words "you might as well consider it", Yin Xu's nostrils twitched slightly, his eyes were startled, and then he stared at Shi Chun with a hint of surprise, and the rest of the words were knotted.

Shi Chun smiled faintly and said, "I've found a place to stay. Thank you very much for the hostess's hospitality today. I'll thank you properly when I have the chance. Bye!" He bowed.

"Oh, okay." Yin Xu, who had always been able to handle visitors with ease, suddenly became a little clumsy, or unnatural.

Wu Jinliang and Hua Chong also bowed and said goodbye.

Seeing the three people turning around, Yin Xu thought of the sneaky spying behavior of the Jihuo Sect leader, and couldn't help but follow up with a concerned word, "Be careful on the road."

The three of them just thought it was just a caring statement and didn't think much about it. They just smiled and turned around and waved.

After walking a little further away, Hua Chong said cheerfully, "This is my first time to break fast at Zhulang Pavilion, and I'd like to ask the lady boss to personally treat me to a meal. I'm really indebted to you two."

Wu Jinliang also said happily: "He is a man who will attract repeat customers."

Hua Chong disagreed, "I'm afraid not. People who are used to doing business have trained their eyes to see when someone picks up their chopsticks. If it were me, let alone free food, the boss lady would not come to entertain me personally. She has sharp eyes and must have seen that you two are distinguished guests. The material of your clothes is obviously not ordinary."

Shi Chun and Wu Jin looked at each other and then looked at their clothes at the same time.

On the way down the mountain, Hua Chong somehow discovered that Shi Chun was looking around from time to time.

The proprietress Yin Xu was still standing at the door, letting her clothes blow in the wind, and she was obviously distracted.

The steward who had conspired with her in the house came out and saw her in a daze, and asked, "Sister Hong, what's wrong?"

Yin Xu looked back and around with a serious expression, and whispered to him: "I seem to smell the breath of the ancestor on Wang Ping." The steward was stunned, and then surprised, and lowered his voice and said: "How is this possible? The ancestor is sleeping in the tomb of the gods, and even the tribesmen have no chance to see him. How is it possible to have contact with him?"

Yin Xu said: "So I also doubt it. I don't know if I am mistaken. If it is true, unless he just came into contact with the ancestor not long ago, there is only one possibility. The ancestor deliberately planted the smell on him, otherwise it would not be possible for it to exist on him for so long."

The steward was more and more surprised, "How is this possible?"

Yin Xu, who was lost in deep thought, stared at the direction of the night where the guests disappeared, and said to himself: "I forgot to call a car to take them. I can find out where they live. I have to smell it again and confirm it when I have a chance."

Shi Chun and his gang dispersed in the city. They wanted to go back to the inn and asked Hua Chong to go with them.

Without the others, Wu Jinliang chuckled again: "That lady boss is quite attractive and pretty, but she occasionally gives off a demonic aura. I wonder what kind of demon she is."

Shi Chun replied calmly, "Fox demon."

Then he looked back again.

Wu Jinliang was about to ask this question when he saw this, but it was difficult to ask with Hua Chong beside him before, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Shi Chun: "Two people followed us on the mountain of Zhulang Pavilion. I don't know if they were sent by the lady boss."

Wu Jinliang thought he was alert, but he didn't notice anyone following him. However, he knew the special power of the boss's eyes. If they were really activated on the mountain, someone following him would not be able to escape the boss's sight. He immediately cursed softly, "You invited me for no reason and showed me kindness without any reason. I knew it was up to no good. No, why are you staring at us? Did you recognize our identities?"

Shi Chun: "I don't know if they are enemies or friends, as long as they don't come at me forcefully, it's no big deal."

Wu Jinliang also agreed with this. This has always been their idea. They are afraid of being attacked directly.

The two of them didn't make any moves to get rid of each other on the way. They just wandered around in this bustling city that never sleeps, and returned to Yuelai Inn at a leisurely pace.

In the guest room, Chu Jingtang was already waiting for them.

There was no need for much conversation when they met. They went straight to check the news about Bai Qiru sent by Master Nan.

The Dragon and Phoenix tribes feel that they are different from ordinary monster tribes and regard themselves as gods. Naturally, they each have some forces under their command. The Bai family, who have also lived in Fenglin Island for generations, belongs to the Phoenix tribe, but is actually a group of tiger monsters.

The current head of the Bai family, known as Grandma Qi, has personally brought up some important members of the Feng clan, so she is quite famous in the Feng clan.

Bai Qiru is actually the granddaughter of Grandma Qi, but because of her rebellious behavior, she was expelled from home and demoted to Dazhi City, where she lived in the Bai's Rice Shop. Speaking of which, the Bai's Rice Shop is the ancestral property of the Bai family. It is said that it has existed for a long time. It seems that the Bai family started from that rice shop, but outsiders are no longer clear about the specific period.

Bai Qiru, who was demoted to Dazhicheng, got into a fight with her family and married an old man, a rat demon named Huang Yingying, who had been a slave for generations. This made the Bai family very angry. It is said that Grandma Qi was so angry that she said she would not have such a granddaughter.

Anyway, that’s all about the current situation of Bai’s Rice Shop.

Wu Jinliang looked at it and said happily, "I was wondering, how could she marry a bastard like Lao Huang? It turns out she is fighting with her family. Chuntian, with this background, it makes sense."

Shi Chun was silent for a moment, and didn't say much. He just crushed the paper with relevant information brought by Chu Jingtang into powder.

Then he told Chu Jingtang, "We have been targeted by someone. We don't know if they are enemies or friends. They have checked in diagonally opposite us. We will go out and lead them away, and then you can leave. If there is anything you want to pass on, try not to meet each other again."

Chu Jingtang was speechless for a moment before he responded, "Okay."

He smiled bitterly in his heart. Why is it that as soon as he came to Yaoshan City, he was being watched by others? Does he have to encounter some thrilling things wherever he goes? He really wanted to ask, is this how he will live his whole life?
After dealing with his colleagues, Lou Xiu returned to his room and closed the door drunkenly. Suddenly, he saw a figure sitting behind the screen and asked in surprise, "Who?"

The fire behind the screen lit up, and a deep voice came, "You're back."

Hearing the voice, Lou Xiu immediately let down his guard and quickly walked behind the screen. He saw a man covered in a cloak sitting at a small round table. He saluted in surprise and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"

The cloaked man said in a deep voice: "I asked you to strive for control of the city, but ended up making it impossible for you to gain a foothold. Why do you think I am here?"

Lou Xiu slumped down and said in shame, "I just wanted to flatter Ah Xun and ask Ah Xun to help and say good things about me at Shenshan. I never thought that there would be complications."

The cloaked man said, "Fool, don't you think about it? Which family has such a large ancestral house in the best location in a city? Which ancestor is simple? Can you guarantee that the family has really fallen to the point where they can't find anyone to speak up for them if they can preserve the ancestral house to this day? Li Xianghong is much smarter than you. She knows how to maintain a friendly relationship with that family."

Lou Xiu nodded and bowed, "Yes, I was stupid."

Cloaked man: "Did someone from the Extreme Fire Sect come to see you?"

Lou Xiu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes, a person in charge came today and came over to say hello."

The cloaked man said, "At the place where we welcomed you, they found two people, one named Shi Chun and the other named Wu Jinliang. The Jihuo Sect has received the news and has sent people to target them. The higher-ups are also very interested in these two people. You have to follow the Jihuo Sect to find them..."
