Chapter 546: Encountering an old friend
Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun looked back at the sound.
In fact, he knew who was talking the moment he heard the sound.
Zuo Wanqiu stood behind the fat servant, looking at Duan Qing with surprise.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Fellow Daoist Zuo is still as elegant as ever." Duan Qing said with a faint smile.
Xue Wanyun just glanced at Duan Qing intriguingly without saying anything.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, you are too kind. I never thought that we could meet again here!" Zuo Wanqiu walked quickly to Duan Qing, staring at him with shining eyes, and sighed.
She originally planned to go to Shendao Sect to find Duan Qing after the matter of Tianyun Sect was settled, but she didn't expect to meet Duan Qing in advance.
Duan Qing was also quite surprised by this. There were Shenzhou and Lingzhou between Huangzhou and Yunzhou. Who would have thought that he could meet Zuo Wanqiu here.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Duan and Fellow Daoist Xue came for the ceremony of the marriage of the son of the head of Tianyun Sect." Zuo Wanqiu said curiously.
"Well, that's right. Senior Sister Xue and I came to Yunzhou for this." Duan Qing nodded.
Zuo Wanqiu asked this question, and it was obvious that she came for this matter.
"That's great! All the rooms in this inn have been booked by my Zuo family. I will ask them to vacate two rooms for you, Daoist Duan." Zuo Wanqiu's face was full of joy.
But in the joy, there was a trace of worry that was difficult to detect.
Duan Qing did not immediately agree to Zuo Wanqiu's proposal, but turned his head and looked at Xue Wanyun calmly.
Tianyun Sect's trip was to complete Xue Wanyun's mission. Whether to accept Zuo Wanqiu's proposal depends on Xue Wanyun's intention.
If he rashly agreed, what if Xue Wanyun didn't want to, how embarrassing the scene would be!
You know, on the way to Shangshui City, Xue Wanyun and Zuo Wanqiu had always been at odds and always loved to bicker.
Xue Wanyun obviously understood what Duan Qing meant. She secretly rolled her eyes at Duan Qing, shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "Since Fellow Daoist Zuo is so enthusiastic to invite us, then we will be disrespectful to refuse!"
Hmph, you stinky woman, why are you pretending to be magnanimous!
If I refuse, it will show that I am not magnanimous!
Noticing the eye contact between Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun, Zuo Wanqiu's eyes dimmed, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable in her heart.
"Okay, I'll ask them to vacate the room right away!" Zuo Wanqiu said with a forced smile.
After that, she immediately returned to the upstairs of the inn to make arrangements.
Duan Qing looked at Zuo Wanqiu's back, thinking.
What Zuo Wanqiu said before was very intriguing!
According to his observation, this inn is not small in scale, with at least 20 rooms.
But Zuo Wanqiu said that this inn was booked by her Zuo family!
Even if the people of the Zuo family live in one room each, there are at least more than 20 people from the Zuo family who came this time.
This is very strange.
The son of the head of the Tianyun Sect held a ceremony to marry a couple and invited the Zuo family of Huangzhou. It was normal for the Zuo family to send people.
But sending so many people was very unreasonable.
As far as he knew, even for the giant Shinto Sect, Mu Yu only sent Xue Wanyun to deliver gifts.
Of course, it is possible that the Shinto Sect sent other people, but he didn't know.
But even if the Shinto Sect sent other people to congratulate, the number of people would not be too large, and it would not be like the Zuo family, who mobilized so many troops.
After all, Yunxia City is the territory of the Tianyun Sect. Other forces have to consider many aspects when sending people to congratulate.
It should be noted that this is not only about etiquette, but also about the balance between various forces.
Let me ask, if other sects only sent a few people, but only one of the forces sent dozens of people, what would the other sects think, and what would the Tianyun Sect think.
The Zuo family sent so many people, aren't they afraid of causing unnecessary trouble?
After about half a cup of tea, Zuo Wanqiu returned to the lobby of the inn, followed by a thin old man in a yellow robe.
Duan Qing recognized the thin old man in the yellow robe at a glance. He was the man he had met in Shangshui City. Zuo Wanqiu called him Thirteenth Grandpa.
Zuo Wanqiu walked up to Duan Qing and said to him, "Okay, the rooms are ready for Daoyou Duan and Daoyou Xue, but I have something else to do, so I won't take you upstairs!"
After that, she said to the fat servant in the lobby, "Little Second Brother, please take my two friends to Tianzi Room 3 and Tianzi Room 4 to stay."
While speaking, Zuo Wanqiu looked very hurried, as if there was something important.
"Thank you, Daoyou Zuo!" Duan Qing bowed to Zuo Wanqiu to thank him.
Zuo Wanqiu just hummed lightly, looked absent-minded, and hurriedly left the inn with the thin old man in the yellow robe.
After Zuo Wanqiu and the old man in yellow robe left, Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun, led by the innkeeper, moved into the room prepared by Zuo Wanqiu for them.
Soon, a day passed.
The next morning.
Xue Wanyun came to Duan Qing early in the morning and asked Duan Qing to accompany him to stroll around the city.
Duan Qing originally planned to practice in his spare time, but Xue Wanyun was in a good mood, so he had to give up his original plan and accompany Xue Wanyun to stroll around.
When he walked out of the room, Duan Qing glanced at the room where the Zuo family lived on one side and felt a little strange.
Zuo Wanqiu and the old man in yellow robe seemed to have not returned since they left the inn yesterday, and I don’t know what important things they had.
“Why, are you worried about your fellow Taoist Zuo?” Xue Wanyun saw Duan Qing’s face with a strange look and couldn’t help teasing.
“Well, the behavior of the Zuo family this time is very abnormal, and I have a bad feeling.” Duan Qing said bluntly.
Xue Wanyun fell into deep thought after hearing this.
She was not a stupid person. From Zuo Wanqiu's abnormal behavior yesterday, she guessed that the Zuo family's visit to Tianyun Sect this time might not be as simple as congratulations.
However, what did this have to do with her, Xue Wanyun.
As long as the Zuo family did not affect her and Duan Qing, she would not bother to care about so many trivial matters.
Thinking of this, Xue Wanyun pursed her lips. "This is Yunxia City of Tianyun Sect. What kind of trouble can her Zuo family cause!"
Duan Qing nodded and said nothing.
To be honest, he was really worried that the Zuo family would do something unwise.
Zuo Wanqiu was his good friend after all. If she was in trouble, he would never ignore her.
Yunxia City was next to the mountain gate of Tianyun Sect, Tianyun Mountain.
Looking up Tianyun Mountain from the city, you can vaguely see the cluster of buildings on Tianyun Mountain. It must be the location of Tianyun Sect.
However, at this time, neither Xue Wanyun nor Duan Qing had any intention of going to Tianyun Sect.
Xue Wanyun just felt bored staying in the inn and wanted to stroll around the city.
Duan Qing, on the other hand, was just strolling around with Xue Wanyun.
"Get out of here, you stinky beggar, you're coming to my doorstep!"
At this time, a burst of insults rang out from the street corner in front of them.
At the door of a mansion in front of them, a young man in fancy clothes, accompanied by two followers, was cursing at a young beggar lying on the ground.
"Stinky beggar, make way quickly, don't hinder my young master from returning to the mansion!"
"Get out of here right now if you know what's good for you, or don't blame us for being violent!"
...
However, no matter how the young man in fancy clothes and his followers insulted him, the young beggar remained indifferent, staring blankly at Tianyun Mountain in the distance with his eyes blank.
