C67 (1/2)

In the nearest inn, there was only one lamp burning like a bean burning in the first floor. A waiter was napping by the counter while the shopkeeper was counting by the oil lamp.

”Shopkeeper, are there any more rooms?”

The shopkeeper raised his head and saw that it was Mo Qingfeng. He quickly replied, ”Of course there is a superior room, but there is only one now.” As he spoke, he sized up the still covered Qin Xiaoliu behind him.

”One room?” Mo Qingfeng frowned and turned his head back to look at Qin Lil 'Lu, whose eyes had already narrowed into slits. ”Forget it, let's sleep in a room. Tell the waiter to bring a pot of hot water.”

The innkeeper hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, and kicked the waiter who was lying on the table awake. ”Hurry up and boil a kettle of water, and send it over to the guest in Sky No. 1 Room.”

Just as Mo Qingfeng was about to drag Qin Xiaoliu upstairs, he suddenly thought of something and stopped his feet. The shopkeeper knew what was going on and asked with a smile, ”Sir, do you have any other instructions?”

Mo Qingfeng pursed his lips, and unwillingly said, ”There's still a donkey outside. It doesn't matter if you feed it badly, but don't lose it.” The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded his head and bowed in response.

The shop assistant brought hot water. Mo Qingfeng frowned as he sized up this simple and crude so-called 'top room', ”This is your top room?”

”That's right, what else could it be other than the upper house?” The clerk yawned and ignored him. He was very dissatisfied with being suddenly woken up.

Mo Qingfeng tossed a piece of silver over to him. The attendant hurriedly accepted it, and the displeasure on his face turned into a smile.

”Get up and wash your face!” Mo Qingfeng threw a clean towel at Qin Xiaomeng's face. She hugged her pillow and groaned, closing her eyes and wiping it away.

Mo Qingfeng saw the originally clean white handkerchief turn black in an instant and could not help but have black lines across his face. With two fingers, he held the handkerchief and threw it into the copper basin. You won't take off your clothes? ” After saying that, he snickered and secretly looked at her. ”Oh.” Qin Xiaoliu was even more unwilling as she sat up and took off her clothes. Then, she noticed that there was something inside – a beggar outfit that she hadn't changed for tens of thousands of years! Mo Qingfeng, who had intended to spend the night together with Zhang Xuan, suddenly changed his mind. After setting up two benches, Mo Qingfeng lay down to rest. The stiff chair hurt his back, but what hurt even more was the burning sensation in his insides. The Jade True Pill's suppression was reignited by a few cups of wine. Qin Xiao didn't wait for Mo Qingfeng to get on the bed. He looked at him with a puzzled expression and then looked at his dirty clothes. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed his blanket and got off the bed, kicking him, ”You go to bed.”

”Forget it, you're a female after all. You should just sleep on the bed.” Mo Qingfeng didn't want to bicker with her again. At this moment, he felt an indescribable tiredness from lying down, and the pain in his chest caused his entire body to ache.

He originally thought that Qin Xiao would scold him again, but in the end he heard her ask in a soft voice: ”You — — don't worry about it today.”

”Don't worry, I'll be fine after a nap.” Seeing that she was concerned about him, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He smiled lightly as he told her.

”Hurry up and die on my bed. I'm used to sleeping on the floor. The bench is pretty good. It's sturdy and steady.”

”I already said there's no need for that. How long-winded.” On the surface, Mo Qingfeng appeared to be annoyed by her, but in his heart, he was overjoyed.

Qin Xiao didn't say anything. He just squatted down and took off the handkerchief wrapped around his arm. Then, he threw the handkerchief into a ball. Mo Qingfeng was about to stand up and ask her what she wanted to do, but she stopped him. She washed her handkerchief and wiped the blood off her face, then she tore off her dress and wrapped it around him again. The entire process was neither gentle nor meticulous. Mo Qingfeng sucked in a deep breath with a grin on his face, yet his eyes were brimming with happiness. After he was done with his work, Qin Xiaoliu gave him another kick to remind him, ”Go to sleep early. Go home tomorrow to rest.” Mo Qingfeng didn't say anything. Afraid that he would divulge his thoughts, he simply nodded his head at her.

However, after a while, he opened his eyes with his forehead throbbing. He stood up, tore two pieces of cloth from under his clothes and stuffed them into his ears. Finally, he managed to force the world to quiet down.

Early the next morning, Mo Qingfeng was woken up by Qin Xiaoliu's broken voice. When he walked out of the door, he found that Qin Xiaoliu was in the middle of a quarrel with someone.

”Can you be a little quieter in the morning? What are you arguing about!” Mo Qingfeng could no longer tolerate it.

”This person is unreasonable, how do you know how to be mean to me!” Qin Xiao glared at Mo Qingfeng, ”Your eyes are so big, you look so stupid! ”Last night, I went to Wen Rou's hometown and rolled around until I couldn't even remember to sleep.”

”You're a dead man and you still have the nerve to say that!” Who did I pay respects to those dark circles under my eyes! ” Mo Qingfeng had a stomach full of depression. Last night, a certain someone was grinding his teeth and talking in his sleep, causing him, who was already noisy, to not be able to sleep at all.

A voice interjected into their conversation, ”Brother Mo is acquainted with this little beggar?”

Mo Qingfeng raised his head and saw that they were people he was familiar with. The first name of the competition was Duan Jingqiu. He clasped his hands helplessly, ”So it's Brother Duan. This Brother Qin is my friend. I don't know where he offended Brother Duan. For my sake, please forgive him.”

”Is this brother Mo's friend?” Duan Jingqiu couldn't help but to size up Qin Liuyun carefully, but no matter how he looked at him, he was just an ordinary beggar. He couldn't help but snort, ”Brother Mo's friendship range is really wide.”

”We're just acquaintances. Besides, we're brothers from all over the world. Brother Qin only has a unique personality.” Mo Qingfeng didn't want to say too much, so after exchanging a few polite words with Duan Jingqiu, he returned to his room.

”How can that person be so annoying? He's so conceited, yet there's actually someone more arrogant than me in his eyes and head. How annoying!” As soon as the door closed, Qin Xiao began to complain, he then glanced at Mo Qingfeng, ”You actually call that kind of people brother, it can't be that you're any better!” Qin Xiao knew that he was someone who took the examination alongside Mo Qingfeng, but his ranking was still above Mo Qingfeng's. This caused her to feel extremely displeased and embarrassed. As for Duan Jingqiu, whose entrance exam was filled with so many prodigies, Qin Liuyun felt even more unhappy. He felt that if he were to take the exam himself, he would definitely be better than all of them.
