Chapter 47 See You Again in a Hundred Years (2/2)
”Trust me, sir, I too believe that you would not harm me. If there is nothing else, I would like to excuse myself. I need some time to absorb everything that I've just heard,” Shen Lian said apologetically.
”You're so ambiguous, beating around the bushes,” Xin Shisiniang said coldly.
”I 've lived in a bustling city with so many choices around. How could I easily decide? I would never ever make a decision against my will,” Shen Lian calmly replied Xin Shisiniang.
”If that's the case, we would not force you to spend the night here. Please leave, sir.”
Of course, Shen Lian did not leave empty-handed.
The father-daughter fox deities gave him the recipe for the spiritual awakening tea.
He would not rush to collect the herbs for the tea.
Although they had chatted a lot tonight, it was only the tip of the iceberg of this mystical thing called Celestialism.
He felt that the fox deity did not have any malicious intent. But there was something dishonest about him.
Whether it was Xin Shisiniang or Xin Qubing, both of them were just so hard to read.
Shen Lian questioned himself, if they wanted to harm him, they could have effortlessly toppled him.
What made it special was, this fox deity had deep feelings and emotions. He was definitely not simply a monster but someone who was of a higher level compared to Old Master Shen.
He looked back at the mountain and it felt like he could still see Xin Qubing's deep gaze and Xin Shisiniang's perfect face.
Shen Lian's thoughts were far from the calmness reflected on his face. If Xin Qubing did not deceive him, the opening of Qing Xuan's gate was the perfect opportunity for him.
The only way to learn how to train properly was to enter the celestial gates.
The journey might take through thousands of mountain and rivers, and even hundred of mortal years. But he knew that he would never regret it.
Although Shen Lian may seem like a slowcoach, he would never look back once he had decided on something.
The road to celestial was vast, he would never let go of any opportunities, big or small, that came by.
It was already late night by the time he arrived at the inn.
Even if Steward Wu were a hardworking person, he would have been asleep at that hour.
As Shen Lian stepped into the inn, he indeed did not see Steward Wu. Instead, he saw Bai Yufei.
”Are you on the night shift today?” Shen Lian asked. He once saw Steward Wu arranging the staff's working schedule and if remembered correctly, it was not Bai Yufei's turn to take the night shift.
”I purposely swapped my shift just to wait for you to come back,” Bai Yufei said with a smile.
”Is there something that you needed to speak to me?”
”I knew that you would be traveling soon and that's why I've requested Steward Wu to pay my wages in advance so I can buy you drinks. I just don't know if you would drink with me.”
”I wouldn't say no to free drinks,” Shen Lian smiled; Bai Yufei sure was a wonderful person.
He was convinced that the inn was in safe hands as long as Bai Yufei was around.
”Nothing much actually, I just wanted to have a drink with you. It is even better if I could make you drunk for once,” Bai Yufei laughed cheekily.
