Seeking Lodging, Displaying Exceptional Skills!

(Previous text has been modified...)

But seeing the red-clothed beauty, she coldly yelled at the old store servant:

“What are you doing? Why are you not doing your job again?”

The old store servant felt greatly wronged: “He's being unreasonable!”

Fei Ji Shi felt dissatisfied and wanted to argue with this Mo family lady again about the issue of how many legs a chicken has:

“Shopkeeper, if you don't believe me, you can take the chicken bones I ate and count them. See how many legs they have?”

The Mo family lady told the old store servant to go back to the room.

She personally engaged in conversation with this scoundrel Fei Ji Shi.

The Mo family lady strolled slowly in front of Fei Ji Shi: “You've taken advantage of me and still won't leave? Aren't you afraid I'll get angry and stew you and the chicken together?”

Fei Ji Shi also noticed that the shopkeeper was a delicate and charming beauty.

His mind became lively.

He wanted to tease her.

So he joked: “I do have two legs, but I don't have wings. Besides, if you want to stew me, do you even have a pot big enough in your shop?”

“Humph!~”

The shopkeeper sneered, her beautiful eyes wide open: “Get out!”

After saying that.

She left directly.

Fei Ji Shi was delighted, and after taking advantage of the situation, began to act sweetly:

“If you ask what the greatest joy in life is, it's to eat and drink for free and enjoy yourself.”

As a result.

He looked up.

And saw Su, Lu, Pei, and Ying at the entrance of the store.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Thinking about how he had acted like a scoundrel and harassed the beauty, and how everyone had seen it from beginning to end.

Fei Ji Shi quickly used enthusiasm to cover up his awkwardness:

“Hey, you guys, why are you here? You guys also took the small path? I'll tell you, there's a big slope ahead... You guys look like you haven't fallen yet...”

At this moment.

Yingtao saw Fei Ji Shi covered in dirt, with wounds all over his face.

So.

She asked Fei Ji Shi, and while talking, she was about to draw her sword in his defense.

Fei Ji Shi confessed.

He said he fell on the big slope ahead.

His horse died on the spot, and he, thanks to his good fortune, managed to climb up.

Hearing this.

Everyone praised Su Wu Ming's foresight, saying that if he hadn't made them dismount and lead their horses ahead of time, maybe they would have also fallen into a snowdrift. It was impossible to guarantee they would be as lucky as Fei Ji Shi.

But at this moment.

Fei Ji Shi did not see Wang Lin, his big benefactor.

So he quickly asked: “Where's Lin? He's not with you guys?”

Pei Xi Jun explained: “My righteous brother is probably trailing behind the group. He... well, he's with my sister-in-law... um, anyway, he brought a map, and he'll definitely meet us up ahead.”

Fei Ji Shi: “That's good, that's good.”

Lu Ling Feng tilted his head: “Old Fei, you're not out of money again, are you? Do you want to ask Big Benefactor Wang for some money for drinks?”

Old Fei gave an awkward smile: “Nothing like that!”

However.

Fei Ji Shi was kicked out.

He decided to leave.

But.

It was getting dark.

The road was slippery.

And there were large snowdrifts caused by the earth fissure.

Lu Ling Feng, for the safety of everyone, insisted on staying at the inn.

Su Wu Ming raised both hands in agreement.

The two women were tired from traveling and hungry too.

Therefore.

They entered the Mo family inn in a line.

After putting the horses into the stables.

Lu Ling Feng looked at the Mo family lady and said proudly: “Shopkeeper, five of us need to stay at the inn.”

The Mo family lady snorted coldly, looking at the group with a hint of disdain: “My inn is not for ordinary people to stay at. If you want to stay here, each of you must show me a unique skill!”

“What kind of rule is this?” Lu Ling Feng felt very confused.

However.

The Mo family lady said arrogantly: “The inn is mine, and the rules are set by me!”

“Old Fei.” Lu Ling Feng turned to ask Fei Ji Shi, “What unique skill did you show just now?”

Fei Ji Shi was confused: “There was no such rule just now!”

“He's right, the rule was just set.”

The Mo family lady crossed her arms and smiled slightly, her face full of arrogance: “There are already guests in my inn, and you have quite a few people. If you all stay, and it snows heavily for a few days, I won't have enough food in my inn, and I'll have to go to the town a few dozen miles away to buy some! It's so cold, I don't want to go through that trouble!”

The situation had come to this.

Everyone, because of the snowstorm blocking the mountains, had to stay at the Mo family inn.

But to enter the inn, they had to show a unique skill.

Lu Ling Feng said coldly and proudly: “I must stay in this inn! I'll show you my unique skill!”

First, it was Yingtao.

Yingtao demonstrated a precise skill with a sleeve arrow, hitting a thin string tied to a red date, seven or eight meters away, with perfect accuracy.

The shopkeeper allowed her to stay.

Then, it was Lu Ling Feng.

Lu Ling Feng tossed a few copper coins, then quickly used light movements, grabbed a bamboo stick, and before the copper coins landed, he used the bamboo stick to catch the coins one by one, neatly stacking them together, without missing a single one.

The shopkeeper allowed him to stay.

On this side.

Xi Jun had already drawn a three-dimensional map of the Mo family inn.

The shopkeeper praised her for her amazing brushwork, and allowed her to stay.

Finally, it was Su Wu Ming and Fei Ji Shi.

Fei Ji Shi started by trying to see a patient, but the shopkeeper shouted in protest: “You old con man, I set this rule specifically to prevent you from staying here. Get out!”

It seemed.

That the unique skill rule was going to block Fei Ji Shi.

At the crucial moment.

The sound of a carriage came from outside the Mo family inn.

The shopkeeper looked in the direction of the sound.

She saw a luxurious carriage drawn by five horses, slowly arriving at the entrance of the inn.

Although the carriage was made of wood.

It was beautifully crafted, with eaves and corners. It was incredibly beautiful.

Those who didn't know might think it was a luxurious mansion being pulled by horses.

Looking at the five horses pulling the carriage, each one was spirited and magnificent. Especially the black horse leading the way, it was plump and strong, clearly a noble steed among noble steeds!

Just as the shopkeeper was confused.

The door of the carriage opened.

A man wearing a white fox fur cloak, handsome beyond compare, lifted the curtain and slowly walked down.

At first glance at the man.

The shopkeeper's eyes instantly lit up.

Because she couldn't imagine that such a handsome man existed in the world.

She saw the man slowly speak:

“I wonder, if I still have some unique skills, can I bring that old man to stay?”

As soon as he saw this person.

Fei Ji Shi immediately felt like he had found his leader: “Lin, you're finally here!”

His expression, his appearance.

As if he was saying: She bullied me, you have to stand up for me.

That's right.

The newcomer was Wang Lin.

While traveling through the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty.

He had ridden too much horse, and the horse-riding pain started. No matter how high-level his riding skills were, he felt uncomfortable. After all, everyone enjoys what they like.

Wang Lin was an epicurean.

As the saying goes, “Thousands of gold spent, it will come back.”

So.

By chance.

Wang Lin spent a lot of money to have a carpenter build this ancient two-story “carriage” according to his needs.

It had two floors, with all the functions that a house should have.

It was comfortable to live in and even more comfortable to travel in.

Sure enough.

After seeing the carriage.

Fei Ji Shi suddenly said: “You said you wouldn't let me stay here, right? Don't be ignorant, now I want to stay in this big house outside!”

Wang Lin slowly approached.

He placed his hand on Fei Ji Shi's shoulder.

Then he pulled Fei Ji Shi backwards.

He said to the beautiful shopkeeper: “I said, if I still have some unique skills, can I bring him to stay?”

Whether it was because she saw the handsome, unparalleled young man.

Or because she discovered something else.

The shopkeeper suddenly smiled sweetly: “Then, let's see then? I want to see how skilled you are!”
