Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

It was just past noon, and the inn was almost empty.

The people living in this ordinary inn were all business travelers. Now the city was under martial law. If you wanted to leave the city, you had to wait at the gate tower. Otherwise, once a long queue formed, you would have to stay in the city for a day.

There were more than a dozen wooden tables in the lobby of the inn, and only seven or eight travelers who looked like scholars were sitting sparsely, drinking the lowest quality rice wine and eating the simplest breakfast.

As an important border town, the people who lived in this ordinary inn in Zhenxi City were probably these scholars who traveled on a budget, in addition to the business travelers who were looking for profit.

Standing by the railing on the second floor, Xu Yuan overlooked the lobby below. He actually didn't understand this kind of people.

Dayan was a chaotic place, with bandits and monsters rampant. These weak scholars still traveled all over the world to study, relying on selling calligraphy and paintings along the way, giving names for others and writing for others in exchange for money, to travel around the mountains and rivers of Dayan.

They are in Di'an City, in the North, and in the West Desert.

This may be the romance that belongs to the literati in this era.

Just as he was thinking, one of the middle-aged literati Shu Lun seemed to notice that there was someone on the second floor and looked towards him.

After looking at each other for a moment, the middle-aged literati smiled heartily and raised the cup in his hand to invite him.

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at his coarse linen clothes, smiled and shook his head at him.

If time permits, he doesn't mind chatting with these people for a while and listening to their lives, but there are other things to deal with today.

"Squeaky--"

There was an old hissing sound from the wooden door behind him, accompanied by the "creaky" footsteps on the wooden board, and Li Junwu's deliberately low voice came quietly:

"Changtian, what are you looking at?"

"."

Xu Yuan glanced back at her, but saw a handsome young man standing at the entrance of the room.

Li Junwu looked heroic in red, but she looked feminine in men's clothing.

As he watched, Li Junwu had already come to his side and stood still.

Retracting his gaze, Xu Yuan pointed down:

"Look at those scholars."

Li Junwu glanced at the people below, his eyes were not surprised:

"Just a bunch of literati, what's there to see."

The literati in Dayan looked down on each other, and the warriors looked down on the literati even more.

Xu Yuan glanced at her and said with a little surprise:

"You seem to be very unhappy with them?"

Li Junwu didn't care at all and said:

"Some of these scholars have achieved fame and fortune, but they run around doing nothing all day long, and when something happens, the government has to clean up their mess."

Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered:

"They are just practicing the words of the second sage seven hundred years ago, traveling thousands of miles, helping thousands of people, and teaching the world."

"All these literary words, in the end, are not for fame, for your own advantage in the imperial examination?"

"Judgment is on deeds, not on heart."

Xu Yuan said with a smile, and then He took out a human skin mask from the Xumi Ring and handed it over: "Take this with you first, and then we'll go to the government office."

Li Junwu took the human skin mask and was a little surprised:

"Can this mask block the detection of the mind and soul?"

"It was made by the Institute of Gewu. No one can see through it except the saints."

"Is it the same as the one on your face?"

"Sorry, even a saint like me can't see through it."

"."

Li Junwu put the mask on his face and spat in a charming voice:

"Look at you showing off."

With a snort, Xu Yuan glanced back at the room in an ambiguous way and whispered:

"Have you dealt with the matter of the goddess? "

Li Junwu rolled his eyes and whispered:

"You've already done half of it, why do you want me to do it suddenly?"

Xu Yuan sighed and said as a matter of course:

"Even if Jia Yi asked for it, I have to be sensible when I do things here, after all, she is still useful. But you are different, after all, this is also a hobby between you, isn't it?"

Li Junwu pursed his red lips for a moment and hummed:

"I really don't know where you learned the rope binding method. When we come back, Jia Yi will be tossed around a lot."

"Life should be interesting."

Xu Yuan poked the thin waist of the good-chested brother with his elbow, looked at her with a crooked smile "I teach you so selflessly, and you can use it in the future, but you don't even thank me, your buddy?"

Li Junwu curled his lips and snorted:

"With so many tricks, whoever becomes your lover is really suffering."

"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish~"

"Anyway, I prefer to be gentler."

"Ah? I am teaching you, not giving it to you."

"."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Li Junwu's black eyes, and he turned his eyes away and looked at the lobby:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Get ready to go."

"."

Xu Yuan's expression flashed a strange look, and he tilted his head to look at her side face.

The strange feeling from before came to his mind again, and looking at the expression of the good-chested brother, he suddenly felt as if he had caught something fleeting.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at, Li Junwu turned his head and glared at him, saying unhappily:

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

Xu Yuan grinned and asked tentatively:

"Li Junwu, are you serious about what you said last night?"

Li Junwu knew the other party's cultivation level, suppressed the acceleration of his heartbeat, and thought quickly in his mind, and asked with a faint smile:

"Well, what did you say?"

After a moment of observation, Xu Yuan decided to put the matter aside for now after not seeing any clues:

"Nothing, maybe I misunderstood, let's go."

"."

Li Junwu clenched his fists instantly.

Bastard!

I finally prepared myself mentally, but this guy just let it go?

While keeping up with the other party, Li Junwu said nonchalantly:

"Why, do you want to ask about being my son-in-law? I'm serious about those words~"

"."

After the voice fell, Xu Yuan seemed not to hear it, and continued to walk forward silently.

The two walked into the lobby, and the inn waiter immediately came up quickly, but was waved by Li Junwu to get out. When they walked out of the inn, various shops and vendors on the street outside had already opened, and shouts were heard one after another.

All the way in silence, Xu Yuan walked in front, and Li Junwu followed behind him with some uneasiness.

After walking out of a whole block, the former suddenly stopped and looked back at the latter.

Li Junwu subconsciously straightened his back, and the bra on his chest tightened a little, but his face remained calm as usual, waiting for the other party's reply.

The next moment,

"No, Zhenxi Mansion is your territory, you let me, a guest, lead the way?"

"."

Li Junwu almost couldn't help but punch this guy in the face.

What was the response she was waiting for?

Suppressing the anger and grievance in her heart, Li Junwu, who was dressed as a man, walked past Xu Yuan without a care.

After slightly identifying the direction and preparing to lead the way, she heard Xu Yuan's gentle voice transmission:

"Li Junwu, you are not pretending to be me all the time, right?"
