Chapter 591 Lotus Tower + Undersea City 13
As the two talked, they arrived at the inn. Xinran smelled the aroma of food and quickened her pace to go upstairs.
As soon as she stepped into the inn room, she saw Zhu Xin having someone set out the food.
Hearing the noise, she turned her head: "Xiao Ran, if you hadn't sent someone to deliver a message to me, I would have thought you had abandoned me."
Xin Ran raised an eyebrow, walked over and sat down, jokingly saying, "We would never abandon our Tenth Elder, no matter who else we leave behind."
"Hahaha." After laughing, Zhu Xin saw the person who followed her in and looked surprised: "Di Feisheng, what brings you here?"
"Come and have some extra food delivered," Di Feisheng said casually, then sat down at the table.
Zhu Xin didn't ask any more questions. She told the staff to continue bringing food before sitting down to prepare for the meal.
Xinran and Difei had been quite active, so they ate a lot for dinner. Seeing this, Zhu Xin's appetite was also whetted, and she ate more as well.
The three of them ate eight dishes and a lot of rice, and finished all the dishes completely, demonstrating their incredible eating power.

At midnight, the moon was high in the sky.
Under the moonlight, the lake surface shimmered, and the distant mountain shadows were faintly visible on the water.
There was a quaint and unique house by the lake, but the interior was dark and there was no sign of any lights being turned on.
On the rooftop, Xin Ran lay at the highest point with her hands behind her head, gazing at the sky. Her black dress hung down naturally, as if she had blended into the night.
Beside her were several empty wine jugs, and she looked slightly drunk, half-closing her eyes and dozing off in the evening breeze.
"Miss Xin, how have you been?"
Two figures suddenly appeared on the roof. Xin smiled and waved her sleeve, sending two jugs of wine flying towards the two men.
Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng reached out and caught it at the same time. When they looked up again, the person opposite them had already sat up and was looking at them.
"Let's have a drink together after being apart for so long."
Li Xiangyi chuckled, walked over, sat down casually, opened the wine pot, and began to drink.
Di Feisheng stood upright with his hands behind his back on Xin Ran's other side: "We just saw each other a while ago, it's not like we've been apart for long."
"Since we're already here, there's no reason not to drink," Xin Ran said, taking out another drink herself.
A few days ago, after Zhu Xin set off to return to the Great Xia Kingdom, she bought a house here and will stay here temporarily if she doesn't want to go out.
Since I didn't hide my tracks, it would be easy for them to find me.
Di Feisheng didn't speak, but instead picked up the wine and started drinking.
A sip of wine accidentally spilled from the corner of her mouth, and Xinran raised her hand to wipe it away: "Why did you two come to see me together?"
Di Feisheng had arranged to practice with her some time ago, but Li Xiangyi didn't know why he wanted to see her.
“We met on the road. Li Xiangyi came along by himself.” Di Feisheng’s voice was as direct as ever.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi put down the wine in his hand, took out a box from his sleeve, and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Xinran asked, puzzled.
"Thank you. I exchanged martial arts manuals for the antidote with you back then, but those weren't really necessary for you. Take a look at this."
Xin Ran raised an eyebrow, surprised that he was so polite.
She didn't refuse, took the box and opened it. She recognized what it was at a glance: "Yin-Yang Forget-Me-Not Flower. You had this back then, which could also cure the poison."
"It's not necessary now. You need the ingredients to make the antidote, so this is perfect for you."
It seems that Li Xiangyi was cured of the poison early, and many things have changed. Xin Ran nodded: "Okay, then I'll accept it."
"The wine is finished, can we begin?" Di Feisheng asked.
Xinran saw him draw his sword and her lips twitched: "Why do you want to fight as soon as you get here? Aren't you tired?"
The day after their last meeting, she received several boxes of gold and silver treasures from him again. Although she had agreed to give him guidance, she was too lazy to do it too often.
"Not tired." Practicing martial arts with her can improve my skills, and Di Feisheng can come to see her often.
“I’d also like to observe from the sidelines,” Li Xiangyi said with a smile, his eyes filled with interest.
Di Feisheng was indeed very dedicated to martial arts. Xin Ran smiled and said, "Let's come back tomorrow. There's no reason to start a fight as soon as we meet."
Seeing that Di Feisheng still didn't want to give up, she suddenly thought of an idea: "Ahem, Li Xiangyi seems to have let go of the past and is almost back to normal. You two haven't decided who is better yet."
Upon seeing this, Li Xiangyi widened his eyes and said, "Miss Xin, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Xin Ran wasn't embarrassed at all, and smiled, "I also want to see a wonderful showdown between you two."
Upon hearing this, Di Feisheng looked at Li Xiangyi and said, "Let's have another match, and it would be best to decide the winner."
Li Xiangyi feigned a sigh. He seemed to have acted rashly by coming here today. Looking at the sky, he raised the wine jug and gazed at the moonlight: "Let's finish the wine first."
Xinran was also drinking wine under the moon when he suddenly thought of a line of poetry that described the chivalrous and unrestrained spirit of a knight-errant: "Drinking wine from a jar, I cut through the frost of the moon; drunk, I crush the starry river into light."
After she finished reciting the poem, the two people next to her silently pondered its meaning.
I even had a feeling of wanting to wield a sword to cleave the moon, crush all difficulties as if they were starlight, and roam the world freely and unrestrained.
Di Feisheng brandished his knife at Li Xiangyi: "Stop dawdling, are you going to fight or not?"
Li Xiangyi tilted his head back, drank the rest of his wine in one gulp, stood up and drew his sword: "It's been a long time since I've had a proper fight. Come on."
The two used their lightness skills to leap into the widest part of the lake, and a fierce battle began.
Xin Ran sat cross-legged, chin in hand, watching the duel between the two masters with great interest.
Xiao Qi: "Tsk tsk, host, if you don't want to do it yourself, just trick them into doing it."
"I wasn't just trying to fool them; they already had their own ideas, which is why they were so easily persuaded."
"So, host, who do you think will win between them?"
I think it's a tie.
Originally, Li Xiangyi might have had a slight advantage, but Di Feisheng's martial arts skills have clearly improved recently, so it's estimated that neither of them can win now.
Sure enough, an hour later the two were still deadlocked.
Xinran was getting sleepy watching it all. After yawning, she ignored them and went straight back to her room to sleep.
the next afternoon
Just as Xin Ran was starting to eat her lunch and dinner, she saw Di Feisheng come in from outside the door and sit down opposite her.
"You only just woke up at this hour?"
Di Feisheng nodded: "Yes, it just ended this morning, get me a set of bowls and chopsticks too."
Upon hearing this, Xinran looked at the puppet Amu to the side and gestured for him to go and prepare. Amu nodded and went out.
In the house I bought in the Da Xi Dynasty, I put puppets to guard the house, cook, and clean, so I don't have to spend money to buy people to do the work.
"Where is Li Xiangyi? Who won and who lost between you two?"
"He left right after he finished, so it's a tie."
Xinran was not surprised by the result; she had guessed correctly.
"You have nothing to do right now?"
Di Feisheng looked up at her and said, "Yes, I'll practice with you."
Having just finished a match, Xinran was already thinking about sparring. She rubbed her face and said, "...Okay, four times a month at most."
"Ten times a month," Di Feisheng requested.
Xinran shook her head: "Five times, no more than that."
"Eight times."
"three times."
"Five times it is then." Di Feisheng took a step back, otherwise the number would decrease.
Xinran was satisfied with the result, and her appetite improved.
Although Di Feisheng remained calm, he silently sped up the speed at which he picked up food.
*
After staying in one place for a while, Xinran decided to leave and go somewhere else.
This time, however, in addition to bringing her puppet Amu, she also brought along Di Feisheng, who had recently become attached to her.
Even though the two only exchanged martial arts techniques five times a month, he never left, only saying that he hadn't had enough of Amu's cooking.
She didn't believe his lame excuse; he didn't seem like the kind of person who cared so much about food.
Besides, he was the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance before, so it's impossible that he didn't have a good cook or have eaten delicious food.
