PFC Chapter 552
Chapter 552
Yan Chixia stopped interfering, figuring out that his brother could handle the situation, and if not, he would always have Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia glared at Nie Xiaoqian with a sour face, then turned and went back to the dilapidated temple.
Ling Yanyan then stayed at Lanruo Temple for two consecutive days.
After two days, I found this place to be quite remote, with little food or drink, and not even a human presence, making it rather dull.
Ling Yanyan felt that two days was the limit. If he stayed in this godforsaken place any longer, he would eventually get moldy.
So, feeling utterly bored, he suggested to Yan Chixia, "I'm really bored. Why don't we go to Guobei County and buy some food and drinks? This place is so far from human habitation. If we stay here any longer, it'll be overgrown with weeds sooner or later."
Yan Chixia didn't really care where he went, but after hearing what he said, he thought it wasn't a bad idea. So he nodded and picked up his sword: "Alright, it's been a long time since I've been out. I'm going to get some wine to drink. My wine gourd is almost empty."
He wasn't particularly fond of food, but he did enjoy a drink.
He hid in Lanruo Temple to escape the grudges of the martial world, so he had long been used to being alone. However, he couldn't do without wine and supplies; after all, he was not a wild man.
The two quickly reached an amicable agreement.
Nie Xiaoqian is currently staying in the shadows because it is daytime and she cannot appear in the sunlight; she can only stay in the shadows.
Hearing their conversation, a glint of light flashed in her clear, autumn-like eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but gently ask Ling Yanyan, "Young Master Ling, may I go with you? I haven't been to the streets for a long time. I don't know how to do anything, I just want to go out and have a look around."
She was afraid that Ling Yanyan would think she was a nuisance, so she humbly tried to minimize her presence.
She didn't dare make any demands, only hoping that Young Master Ling would take her along so she could broaden her horizons.
Fortunately, Ling Yanyan did not blame her or look down on her. He even nodded and said, "I would have taken you with me even if you hadn't asked. I wouldn't feel at ease leaving a ghost's ashes here. Come with us to the street."
Yan Chixia pursed his lips, his gaze on Nie Xiaoqian seemingly unfriendly, but it was just a haughty expression; he didn't interrupt.
The two people and the ghost soon went out into the street.
Because they wanted to buy different things, they parted ways at the crossroads.
Ling Yanyan wanted to buy some food and then get a new set of clothes.
Yan Chixia didn't care about any of that, only caring about his own drink. So he headed towards the wine cellar, and the two waved goodbye amicably before parting ways.
Guobei County is, after all, a county town, and it is indeed different from remote places.
There are many shops around. Nie Xiaoqian had been here a few times during the Ghost Festival and knew the route well, so she even led the way for Ling Yanyan.
They arrived at a noodle shop. Nie Xiaoqian smiled gently and said, "This noodle shop is the most popular I've ever seen. I imagine their noodles must be quite good. Young Master Ling, aren't you hungry? Why don't you give it a try?"
Ling Yanyan gave her an approving look, as he was currently worried about filling his stomach. Speak of the devil and he appears; Nie Xiaoqian was truly quick-witted.
Since it was her recommendation, I didn't have to go through the trouble of finding good food myself.
Ling Yanyan happily went inside and asked the shopkeeper for a large bowl of beef noodles.
The food was served shortly afterward. He took a small bite and found it to be quite delicious. The noodles were chewy and springy, and the beef portion was generous. It wasn't the kind of place that skimped on the weight, although the price was a bit high.
But he had plenty of money, so he wasn't worried about that.
After finishing his meal, Ling Yanyan went to buy a few more outfits.
His clothes were torn in many of his battles with tree spirits and other monsters, and they always looked strange in tattered clothes. This time, he bought many new clothes so he could change them and wouldn't have to come to Guobei County so often.
