Outside the inn, only Li Xunhuan remained, sitting there holding Lin Shiyin's body.
A small courtyard in a bamboo grove.
A man in white was slowly roasting sweet potatoes, with two hungry mouths squatting beside him.
Li Chengqian:
Can you guys stop this? You're supposed to be top-tier experts, yet you have to steal sweet potatoes from others. Have you no shame?
Especially you, Dongfang Bubai, you managed to maintain a semblance of composure when you first arrived.
Now they've shown their true colors, robbing us if we don't give it to them. What kind of people are they?!
Yes, there is still no one at Ping An Inn who knows how to cook.
The group could only survive on barbecue. Old Huang used to be in charge of this, but ever since Dongfang Bubai arrived.
Whenever Lao Huang is asked to cook, he complains of a headache and foot pain.
Want to ask Dongfang Bubai to cook?...1.1...
The woman replied directly, "I'm only responsible for sweeping; I don't care about anything else."
Left with no other choice, Li Chengqian had to take matters into his own hands.
The sound of bamboo leaves being trampled rang out, and Li Chengqian looked up.
They instantly met two pairs of bright eyes, and at that moment, the whole world seemed to stop turning.
Old Huang stared intently at the sweet potatoes in the fire, while Dongfang Bubai merely glanced at the newcomer before continuing to stare at the sweet potatoes as well.
Li Chengqian's white robes were stained with some black ash, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.
My mind was racing, trying to figure out how to greet them.
Because the visitor was Lianxing Yaoyue from Yihua Palace.
Faced with this scene, Yaoyue's eyes held a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
What are those three doing? Is this some new training method?

After holding his breath for three whole breaths, Li Chengqian only managed to utter one sentence.
"Eat something?"
Yaoyue didn't speak, but quietly walked to the fire.
Old Huang sat on the ground, while Dongfang Bubai had only a piece of red cloth under his buttocks.
Judging from the tear in her sleeve, it must have been torn from above.
As for Li Chengqian, he squatted down in a very vulgar way.
Of the three methods, I don't want to use any of them.
In the end, Lianxing used her inner strength to draw two stones from a distance, which gave the two a place to sit.
However, after Yaoyue and the other person sat down, the atmosphere among everyone fell into an awkward and strange state.
Li Chengqian ruined all of Yaoyue's prepared remarks.
Originally, she was thinking of going to find Li Chengqian and Dongfang Bubai to have a match herself.
Whoever wins will own this bamboo forest.
Moreover, given their strength, they probably won't lose so easily.
I reckon Li Chengqian will take the opportunity to invite me to stay here.
But this scene left Yaoyue speechless.
After calming herself down, Yaoyue said coldly, "I really like this place."
"I like 27 very much too."
""
Am I asking if you like it or not?
I'm telling you I want this place!
After composing herself again, Yaoyue's voice became even colder.
"From this day forward, I will live in this place."
"So the main guests are from the Inviting Moon Palace! You're warmly welcome. There are plenty of rooms available; just pick one in a moment."
Faced with Li Chengqian's easygoing attitude, Yaoyue felt like she had energy but nowhere to use it.
She seriously doubted that even if she said she wanted to take over Ping An Inn, Li Chengqian would clap his hands and say, "No problem, it's yours."
"I'll open another one next door."
Li Chengqian's unconventional tactics left Yaoyue speechless, and the five of them fell silent once again.
After a while, Li Chengqian pulled five dark, unremarkable objects out of the ashes.
"Here! These are for the two of you. You're new here, so don't say I don't take care of you. These are the two oldest ones."
Yaoyue and Lianxing stared at the "black ball" in front of them, and fell into endless silence once again.
In contrast, the three people next to him were eating with relish, with Dongfang Bubai eating in the most elegant manner.
First, wrap the sweet potato in a handkerchief, and then eat it slowly.
As for Lao Huang and Li Chengqian...
Scrape off the charred parts, peel off the parts that can be peeled, and blow off the ash from the parts that cannot be peeled and eat them directly.
After quickly finishing the sweet potato in his hand, Li Chengqian clapped his hands, stood up, and said...
"Master Dongfang, please show them to their rooms later. I'll head back now."
After saying that, Li Chengqian actually left, without making any changes because of Lianxing and Yaoyue's arrival.
As soon as Li Chengqian left, Lao Huang threw away the sweet potato peel in his hand and slipped away to a quiet place to fall fast asleep.
quiet!
The only sounds in the bamboo forest were the wind rustling through the bamboo leaves and three taciturn women.
After finishing the sweet potato in his hand, Dongfang Bubai still seemed a little unsatisfied.
So she turned her attention to Lianxing Yaoyue's share.
"Aren't you going to eat? Then I won't be polite."
boom!
A tremor came from the ground, startling Old Huang who was fast asleep.
Seeing that the commotion was caused by three women in the distance, Old Huang shuddered and ran even further away.
As he ran, he muttered to himself, "I wonder if the young master can control them if they start fighting. These three women are really something!"
The soft soil was blasted into a large crater, and Yaoyue Lianxing and Dongfang Bubai retreated ten steps apart.
Yaoyue and Lianxing each held a black sweet potato in their hands, their fair hands stained with some black ash.
Dongfang Bubai raised the corner of his mouth and laughed, "Why are the two palace masters so angry?"
"How could such vulgar things be fit for your palates?"
"How about this: I'll exchange ten thousand taels of gold, plus a sumptuous feast, for what you have in your possession?"
Yaoyue looked coldly at Dongfang Bubai.
"unnecessary!"
"Hehehe!"
"Since the two palace masters are unwilling, then forget it."
"Please come with me, let me introduce this bamboo grove courtyard to you both."
Dongfang Bubai turned and walked towards the bamboo grove courtyard. Yaoyue hesitated for a moment and then followed.
"The Bamboo Grove Courtyard faces south. The innermost room is Mr. Li's residence, and the rest of the rooms are available for living."
Yaoyue glanced at Li Chengqian's room and asked, "Who lives in the room to the left of Mr. Li?"
"I!"
"Then I'll take the one on the right."
Seeing this, Lianxing's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Then I'll live next to my sister."
After the rooms were assigned, Dongfang Bubai laughed and said, "Alright, there's nothing more for me to do now."
"Now there are still tasks to be done in the yard, such as chopping firewood, carrying water, and cleaning the rooms."
"You can choose one yourselves!"
brush!
Inviting the moon instantly blocked Dongfang Bubai's path.
"What did you say!"
The sharp killing intent locked onto Dongfang Bubai; no one in the world would dare to ask him to do such a thing.
Seeing Yaoyue get angry, Dong'an Bubai laughed even more heartily.
"Don't come to me with your grievances. This rule was set by Mr. Li, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"But Mr. Li also said that guests must take on a task before they can stay at the Bamboo Forest Courtyard."
Yaoyue's anger had accumulated to a terrifying level and could erupt at any moment.
"Then what are you responsible for?!"
"Sweep! You just knocked down so many bamboo leaves, you have to sweep it all over again."
After saying that, Dongfang 450, the Undefeated One, bypassed Yaoyue and actually picked up a broom to start sweeping the floor.
