If you lose your life, you can have another one in the next life, but if you don't make money, you won't be at peace even if you die.
Just as everyone was getting closer to An Inn, a voice came from inside.
"Little fish, I advise you not to move around recklessly."
"If it weren't for the rules of Ping An Inn protecting you, you would be dead by now."
"It's true that the Valley of Villains is terrifying, but there are many people in this world that the Valley of Villains can't afford to mess with."
"Let me introduce you to Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Cult of the Great Ming Dynasty."
“You’ve offended her now. If you dare to step out of Ping An Inn, I guarantee you’ll be a corpse immediately.”
""
Ah?
Invincible in the East?
Is that the ruthless female demon who kills without blinking an eye?
If I remember correctly, Dongfang Bubai, along with Lianxing and Yaoyue of the Yihua Palace, was known as one of the three great female demons of the Ming Dynasty in Chapter 417, right?
But her territory isn't here, so why did she come here?
All eyes turned to Long Xiaoyun once again.
The meaning is very simple.
Make a decision! If you say run, we won't hesitate for a second.
Looking at Li Xunhuan's smiling face, Long Xiaoyun said with a pained expression, "Brother, did Dongfang Bubai come to save you?"
You can't keep making this mistake!
"Brother, if the Plum Blossom Thieves can persuade Dongfang Bubai to join them, do you think they still need to hide their true colors?"
"Um?!!"
That makes sense! If the Plum Blossom Thief had Dongfang Bubai backing him up, he wouldn't need to operate in secret when robbing people of their money and women.
Just do it openly and honestly, since no one can beat us anyway.
In the end, Long Xiaoyun led the way to Ping An Inn.
Jian Jiuhuang is in the inn, so nothing should happen, right?
Upon arriving at the entrance of Ping An Inn, a peculiar scene came into view.
A boy dressed in coarse linen clothes had his neck grabbed by a woman in red.
Beside them, a man dressed in pure white was smiling.
Glancing at the person outside the door, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Little Fish, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Are you willing to stay and work at Ping An Inn or not?"
Little Fish, who came from the Valley of Villains, naturally spoke human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately put on a pleading posture and said, "I'm willing! Why wouldn't I be willing!"
"There's food and lodging here, only a fool wouldn't want to stay!"
Faced with Xiaoyuer's quick agreement, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head.
"Little Fish, if I want you to stay, it naturally has to be because you want to stay willingly."
"If you stay, I will tell you the secret of your origins."
"Moreover, I can protect you. You should know that your enemy is Lianxing Yaoyue."
"Faced with the pursuit of the Yihua Palace, there aren't many people in this world who can protect you!"
""
Did I just hear Lianxing and Yaoyue from Yihua Palace?
This Peace Inn doesn't seem so peaceful after all!
Upon hearing that Li Chengqian knew about his background, Xiaoyuer became instantly excited.
"You know about my background?"
"Of course I know, and I know it very well."
"I don't ask for much. Work for me for three months, and I'll tell you the truth."
"Okay! It's a deal. I hope you can keep your promise in three months."
Seeing that Xiaoyuer readily agreed, Li Chengqian's smile widened even more.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring a second long-term tenant and gaining 3000 popularity points."
After resolving Xiaoyuer's problem, Li Chengqian turned to Dongfang Bubai and said, "Master Dongfang, how about giving me some face?"
"Okay, but you'll owe me a favor."
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded in agreement, and only then did Dongfang Bubai release his grip on Xiaoyuer's hand.
Having resolved all matters, Li Chengqian turned to face the numerous martial arts practitioners.
"You've all been waiting a long time, please come in!"
""
We're a little hesitant! Look at the kind of people staying at your inn!
One is Dongfang Bubai, and the other is a guy from the Valley of Villains, whom the Yihua Palace is also hunting down.
If Yaoyue finds out we've had contact with him, will she kill us too?
Although they were apprehensive, they had no choice but to go in, gritting their teeth.
If you're scared away like that, you might as well give up on your life in the underworld.
As everyone entered the Ping An Inn, Xiao Yu'er began to greet the guests, and everyone sat down properly in the lobby.
Each table ordered the cheapest tea, because there wasn't much else available besides tea.
Everything was going smoothly until Li Xunhuan encountered a problem.
"I, Li Xunhuan, have long admired Mr. Li's storytelling in the snow. Today I am honored to have the opportunity to hear Mr. Li tell his story."
"Of course we must go to the Tianzi Building for a visit, so that we can catch a glimpse of Mr. Li's charisma!"
Li Xunhuan came from a wealthy family, so it's not surprising that he said such a thing.
But there is still a problem: Li Xunhuan is the "Plum Blossom Thief" whom everyone is guarding.
How can you feel comfortable leaving such a person alone?
Even more outrageous is that this Ping An Inn has a bizarre rule.
That means that no one may enter another person's room unless invited by the room owner.
Seeing that Xiaoyuer had put away the silver notes, he placed the door key in Li Xunhuan's hand.
Zhao Zhengyi, known in the martial arts world as "Iron-Faced and Impartial," couldn't hold back any longer and immediately reached out to snatch the key from Li Xunhuan's hand.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the key, a surge of powerful true energy pressed down on him.
"If you dare touch that key, you're dead!"
A cold, eerie voice rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw Li Chengqian standing on the high platform of the inn, calmly looking at Zhao Zhengyi.
The display of a near-Grandmaster's strength caused everyone in the inn to furrow their brows in deep concern.
Has he been hiding his true strength?
His aura was clearly at the half-step innate level just now, so why did it suddenly become the half-step grandmaster level?
A half-step Grandmaster is already considered a near-first-rate expert in the martial arts world.
In this inn, apart from Li Xunhuan and Dongfang Bubai, no one could deal with such a master.
Li Chengqian scanned the area below, and the faces of these people all seemed to have two words written on them.
"Poor bastard!"
Chapter 159 Every word is like a dagger to the heart! Long Xiaoyun panicked!
Faced with a master, the stern and impartial Zhao Zhengyi chickened out.
“Mr. Li, Li Xunhuan is the notorious Plum Blossom Thief.”
"If we let him get away, there will be endless trouble in the future."
Li Chengqian didn't even lift an eyelid at Zhao Zhengyi's earnest advice.
"No matter what his identity is in the martial arts world, once he enters Ping An Inn, he is just an ordinary person."
"Even if he is the Plum Blossom Thief, you have no reason to be afraid of him!"
"If we can catch him once, we can definitely catch him a second time."
Li Chengqian's words made Long Xiaoyun and the others look embarrassed.
If we're talking about real skill, none of us together could beat Li Xunhuan.
Seeing that Long Xiaoyun and the others remained silent, Li Chengqian asked with a smile, "Why are you all so quiet?"
"Don't you all have the confidence to capture Li Xunhuan?"
"No way, if you could catch it the first time, why couldn't you catch it the second time?"
"You guys weren't planning to launch a sneak attack from behind when they weren't looking, were you?"
"Or did one of Li Xunhuan's sworn brothers pretend to grab his hand, preventing him from using his flying daggers, so you could launch a sneak attack from behind?"
"No way! No way!"
"There can't possibly be such a shameless person in this world, can there?!"
Li Chengqian's words were like daggers, each one a slap in the face to Long Xiaoyun.
Lin Shiyin, standing beside him, stared at her husband in disbelief.
