Chapter 1585: Chapter 1565: Junior Apprentice Brother
"That’s right, senior brother." The man in purple smiled at Mo, but his gaze towards Luo Qianqian carried a hint of curiosity.
"Hmm?" Luo Qianqian looked at the unexpected visitor in front of her with confusion. However, out of courtesy and respect for Mo, she didn’t voice her questions, simply watching quietly.
"I am with Yan’s little junior brother, learning medicine from the old man in my family. But the old man accepted him over there; he seems to have a good talent. However, he mainly likes blending scents. You girls can ask him for incense whenever you want." Mo sighed as he introduced him:
"This is Shiqi. You sit here... You come over here!"
Before Mo finished speaking, he watched as the man in purple sat beside Luo Qianqian with an excited look on his face, grabbing her small hand: "So you’re Luo Shiqi? I’ve known about you for a long time, nice to meet you... If you need anything, just ask me. Even if I don’t have it, I’ll get it for you."
Luo Qianqian: "???" Am I really that famous?
"What can you get me, you come over here!" Mo’s forehead throbbed with veins. This junior brother of his was always the careless type, seemingly indifferent to anyone, but his attitude made him a bit anxious.
"Nice to meet you, I’m fine." Luo Qianqian withdrew her small hand from those warm palms, placing it on her lap with a somewhat awkward expression: "Would you like to eat something? It’s on me?"
"How could I let a beauty pay? Brother, settle the bill." The man in purple gave a charming smile, raising his brow with seductive flair.
Mo’s forehead veins became even more pronounced: "I wasn’t going to let you pay for it! Sit over here!"
Watching Mo’s reaction, the man in purple jutted his lips and gracefully moved to the nearby bench, situating himself between Luo Qianqian on the left and Mo on the right. He passed out snacks and poured tea with enthusiasm.
However, Mo’s expression grew colder.
"Why are those people still not leaving?" Luo Qianqian paid no mind to the man in purple. After all, he’s not her junior brother; as long as they don’t become enemies, it’s fine.
Her eyes remained fixed on the tavern across, her face clearly displaying impatience.
Tea had been replaced four times, not to mention the various snacks. Luo Qianqian already felt like she didn’t want to have lunch.
If it weren’t for her exceptional digestion, she would probably find it difficult to move, not to mention the almost constant need to relieve herself every two cups of tea.
But the people opposite seemed to only increase in number.
This Carefree Young Master is truly intriguing; what kind of charm does he have to make people wait without caring about the time?
"Oh? Are you looking for someone, Shiqi?" The man in purple asked curiously, ignoring Mo’s gaze.
Across from them was an inn, its food and drink naturally not as good as a restaurant’s, especially given that the city’s most famous restaurant was nearby. This inn wasn’t known for any special dishes that would warrant such wait, just a regular inn in the city.
Moreover, it was daytime, with no rush to find lodging places.
Most importantly, Luo Qianqian and Mo had been waiting for a long time in this spot; if it were about lodging, the crowd wouldn’t be an issue.
So clearly, the aim was to find someone.
Although the sentence was phrased as a question, the man in purple’s tone was confident.
Mo gave the man in purple a deep stare: "Yinshu, are you idle?"
"I’m not salty, I’m very sweet." The man in purple smiled at Luo Qianqian, curling his lips: "Shiqi, what do you think?"
Luo Qianqian noticed the dimples on the man’s face, pausing for a moment before laughing: "Your dimples lack wine, but your brother laughs like a dog."
Mo: "???" Does this count as an innocent victim? How do I look like a dog?
The focus is, who was smiling at that guy’s dimples? Speaking like this will create misunderstanding!
Bai Yinshu also paused briefly, then bent over the table laughing, leaving those around him puzzled, thinking he seemed a bit foolish.
"...Haha, Shiqi, you’re really amusing."
Luo Qianqian: "..." It’s not her that’s amusing, but the future internet entertainments.
"Who are you looking to find over there? Most of the guests checked out two weeks ago; there are plenty of vacant rooms now." Bai Yinshu, after laughing and seeing Mo’s unfriendly gaze, quickly changed his tone, asking with curiosity.
Mo’s expression grew profound; how did this guy know what happened half a month ago?
"Most? Then... what about the Sky Inquiry Tower’s team?" Luo Qianqian promptly asked, her tone tinged with urgency.
"They left, heading off for some matter, but they should be back soon." Bai Yinshu, his eyes filled with curiosity, glanced between the two before speaking: "You don’t know the Blessed Land Cave Heaven Sect has been invaded? There have been rumors it’s revenge from your Nine Heavens Pavilion during this time..."
"Pfft, I’d rather spend my time raising pigs than dirty my shoes in that place without any benefit." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, dismissively sneering.
They hadn’t gone to Blessed Land Cave Heaven, but they’d passed by Snowfall Palace’s treasure grounds and even stole someone from there.
"Who says it’s without benefit?" Bai Yinshu watched Luo Qianqian’s unwavering honesty with her words and eyes and laughed.
Had Luo Qianqian not genuinely meant what she said, her mind would be unfathomable. Even the sly old fox at home wouldn’t be able to outwit her. Attempting to connive against such a person is almost impossible.
It was evident to Mo, too, that she was genuinely speaking the truth.
They truly hadn’t visited Blessed Land Cave Heaven, so who could it have been?
Not only Bai Yinshu but Luo Qianqian was deeply curious as well.
Yet there was simply no way to know.
After all, Blessed Land Cave Heaven wasn’t just angering Nine Heavens Pavilion; they’d offended most of the sects in the competition region.
Yet this also made it even harder to determine which sect might have taken action...
Luo Qianqian’s reprisal towards Blessed Land Cave Heaven was the harshest among the sects; the others tended to compromise to preserve themselves.
The possibility of post-competition retaliation wasn’t excluded.
Most importantly, given the number of sects, investigating each was impractical.
Conducting a comprehensive investigation would inevitably arouse dissatisfaction.
And considering that Blessed Land Cave Heaven had antagonized many sects, retaliations could very well be possible.
