That day, the weather was sunny and cloudless.

The young man from Hongfu Inn was standing at the door of the inn to see off guests. Just as he was about to go in, he saw two gentlemen, one big and one young, riding in the market together and riding towards them.

The tall maroon horse stopped in front of the inn. The young man took a quick look at the two wonderful people sitting safely on the horse, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to lead the horse and say hello.

Zhong Jiuchou handed the reins of the horse to the clerk and asked him, "Can the people in Room No. 1, Tianzi, be in the room?"

The boy thought about it for a while, and found out that the person living in Room No. 1 of Tianzi was an aristocratic young man, and his appearance and demeanor were comparable to those of these two. It seemed that they were together.

He smiled eagerly and replied: "Here you are. I just ordered lunch, and I am probably eating at the moment. Do you want me to lead the way?"

Zhong Jiuchou took Ran Shaotang down, who wanted to jump off the horse, and nodded to the young man.

The boy immediately tied up the horse and walked ahead to lead the way.

Ran Shaotang followed behind, tugging on Zhong Jiuchou's sleeves, and whispered: "Remember to call me Tang Ran, don't call me by mistake."

"You kid loves to lie." Although she said she was uncooperative, she silently praised her for her wit and brains.

Shaotang pouted at Zhong Jiuchou's slender back. He didn't want the master to send him to represent the Yaowang Sect to express his gratitude. However, he poured the soul-enchanting soup into the master's mouth. He said everything the master said, "Okay, okay, okay, you say."

Right.

Shaotang was full of jealousy and followed suit with his head lowered. This Zhongjiuchu came fully prepared. He even found out which room Zong Zhengshen lived in. He looked like he was determined to win, and he couldn't pull him away. I really want to see it.

He was deflated.

Suddenly the person in front stopped and she had no time to react and bumped into Zhong Jiuchou's back.

With an ouch, she rubbed her forehead and raised her head. She was delighted when she saw the high-end talent Meng De blocking her way.

Meng De said to Zhong Jiuchou with a dark face: "My master said, I only see the young master. Young Master Zhong, please do as you please."

Shaotang snickered. Zong Zhengshen still held a grudge.

She was curious about the last hit: "How did you come back that day?"

The corner of Meng De's mouth twitched a few times, that day was simply unbearable to look back on.

"Young Master, please." He didn't want to bring up the sad past again, "It's best that the Young Master not mention the events of that day to His Highness the Third Prince after entering the room."

He is doing this for the sake of the young master.

Shaotang smiled and nodded in agreement.

Just as he was about to cross Zhongjiuchu, he followed Meng De in.

However, they saw that Zhong Jiuchou had already kicked open the door of Zong Zhengshen's Tianzi Room No. 1 and walked in with a swagger.

Shaotang was helpless and felt that his behavior was secretly satisfying. When she had the strength in the future, she could imitate him and bully people she didn't like.

Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

Shaotang was about to follow.

Meng De pulled her forward, and within two steps he arrived at Tianzi Room No. 2. The door was already open, and Zong Zhengshen was sitting inside drinking tea.

Shaotang only felt a push behind him. He stumbled forward and entered the house. There was a sound of closing the door behind him.

Zong Zhengshen sat there and looked at her with a smile on his face.

He stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers at her.

The windows were open, and the golden osmanthus trees in the yard rustled in the breeze from time to time. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Zong Zhengshen's handsome face, like a mottled and trance-like beauty.

After only a moment, Shaotang meditated and took out the hidden bamboo slip "The Art of Confused Mind" from his arms that had not been discovered by Zhong Jiuchou.

Zong Zhengshen took it with his hands and was about to open the bag when he heard Zhong Jiuchou's footsteps and the sound of wind rushing towards him angrily. Meng De was about to stop him again.

Zong Zhengshen cleverly put the cloth bag in his sleeve into his sleeve and picked up the tea cup on the table as if nothing had happened.

Shaotang clicked his tongue twice in his heart.

I sighed to myself, what an old fox.

Sighing secretly, Zhong Jiuchou kicked open the second room of Tianzi again.

From entering the room to handing over the bamboo slips, it only took a moment.

It was during this gap that Ran Shaotang successfully completed the transaction.

Zong Zhengshen didn't pay much attention to Zhong Jiuchou's kick, but instead greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master Zhong came today to thank me on behalf of the Medicine King Sect, or on behalf of the Shura Palace?"

Zhong Jiuchou had never suffered such a loss before, and he was actually shot by Zong Zhengshen. Any young and frivolous person would definitely have another conflict with him.

But Zhong Jiuchou was just worried about Shaotang's safety. Seeing her standing here safe and sound, he smiled calmly.

"Whether you want to thank or to blame, you have to ask your own conscience." Zhong Jiuchou pulled the baggage off Ran Shaotang's back and patted it on the table.

"Courtesy first, then attack. If you weren't behind what happened that day, this is a thank you gift. However, once it is found out that it is related to you, neither the Medicine King Sect nor the Shura Palace will let it go."

After saying these words, he grabbed Shaotang's hand and turned around and walked out of the room.

Ran Shaotang hurriedly turned around and winked at the dark-faced Zong Zhengshen, then pointed at his sleeves and made a gesture of slashing his neck with a knife. Finally, Jiuchou noticed something strange and looked down at her. She immediately grabbed her collar and pretended to be nothing.

He followed Zhong Jiuchou as he left the inn.

When she reached the corner of the corridor, she took another quick glance at Meng De.

He secretly thought that next time he would ditch Zhong Jiuchou and come over by himself, and then have a good conversation with Meng De.

From entering the inn to leaving the inn, Ran Shaotang and Zong Zhengshen didn't say a word, but things were done.

Before coming, she was worried that Zhong Jiuchou would find out that she had given "The Art of Mind Confusion" to Zong Zhengshen. She could not imagine that Zhong Jiuchou would be furious and beat her up when he saw the bamboo slips.

Then tear the bamboo slips to pieces, which would affect her plan.

Fortunately, Zong Zhengshen was smart and managed everything in an instant.

As soon as she was in a good mood, she found that her stomach started to growl.

"Hey, don't walk so fast. I'm hungry and I want to eat."

Zhong Jiuchou led the horse and helped her onto the horse's back, and he quickly got on the saddle: "Go to the front to eat. Someone has already prepared the meal. It's really a starving ghost reincarnated."

"You are so hungry. You didn't eat anything in the morning, and you still don't want people to complain about hunger."

"Who told you to get up late?"

"Why did I get up late? Don't I need to take a shower after practicing?"

"Why do you need to take a bath when you see someone like Zong Zhengshen? He deserves it too?"

"Are you angry because he just teased you?"

"Ran Shaotang, do you believe that I will throw you off your horse right now and let you walk back to Jingshan?"

Ran Shaotang really didn't believe it. She wished that Zhong Jiuchou would let her go now. She still had a lot of things to do.

The second uncle has yet to find a suitable place to open a store, so she wants to do it herself.

She still has to send a letter back and buy some secret ingredients for making green plum wine.

All kinds of things, she really felt that Jiu Chou was in the way.

Finally, when Jiuchou saw that Ran Shaotang no longer said anything negative, he clamped his horse's belly with satisfaction and took her to Yipinzhai to eat delicious food.

Zongzheng waited cautiously until Jiuchou and Ran Shaotang left, then took out the bamboo slips from his sleeve.

Meng De entered the room, closed the door, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to give the relevant people to..."

Zong Zhengshen lowered his eyes and raised his hand to stop him.

He opened the bag and carefully took out the contents.

It was gently placed on the table and slowly unfolded. The ancient style font was mixed with the smell of damp and moldy bamboo after being left for a long time, which made Zong Zhengshen's heart beat.

His fingers gently stroked the words on the bamboo, and he read each word carefully and eagerly.

When he read the last word, he frowned, as if he didn't believe it.

He picked up the bamboo slip and read it again: the end of the first volume.

What's the meaning?

Is there another volume?

Ran Shaotang, you are simply disgusting.

Ran Shaotang, who was sitting in Yipinju Huzaihaisai, suddenly sneezed.

Zhong Jiuchou glanced at her worriedly: "Did you catch a cold on the way this morning?"
Chapter completed!
