C3 (1/2)

The waiter was holding an abacus while unceasingly exposing the food Yan Xiaoxi was eating.

In an instant, everyone's attention was on Yan Xiaoxi as they looked at her in disbelief.

She had enough money for a meal to last her a year.

”Twenty taels of silver in total.” The waiter quickly calculated the total price.

Once the price was announced, the people in the inn were stunned once again.

Yan Xiaoxi had no concept of money. After she left the palace, she pawned all the gold and silver from her room in exchange for a lot of banknotes.

She felt in her pocket and was about to pay when she realized that her purse was missing.

Heavens! Did he have to mess with her!?

Yan Xiaoxi wanted to shout three times into the sky, but when she looked up, she discovered that it was the roof.

Now, even looking at the azure sky, this small wish of hers could no longer be satisfied. Yan Xiaoxi could already imagine her future, dark beyond compare.

”Miss, twenty taels of silver.” The waiter couldn't help but remind Yan Xiaoxi when he saw her stunned.

From the moment they entered, the waiter had known that Yan Xiaoxi was neither rich nor noble. From the expensive Jiang-Nan silk on her body, one could tell that ordinary people were simply unable to afford it.

Therefore, she wasn't worried about Yan Xiaoxi not having the money to pay the bill.

Yan Xiaoxi counted with her fingers how long she would need to work before she could finally finish repaying the meal. Since she was young, her master had told her that one must take responsibility, and must not eat for free.

”About that … about that …” Yan Xiaoxi found it hard to speak.

”Does Miss want anything else?” The waiter naturally didn't think that Yan Xiaoxi would want to say that her purse had been stolen.

”My purse is missing, so …”

”What?” You want to eat an overlord's meal? ” The waiter would never have expected such a situation to occur.

”No, I can work to pay off my debts.” Yan Xiaoxi looked at the waiter innocently. She didn't want to pay because she didn't have the money. If she caught that damn thief, he would be torn apart into pieces.

”Men, someone wants to eat an overlord's meal.” The waiter shouted loudly, and in a flash, over ten sturdy men rushed out.

Yan Xiaoxi knew martial arts, but her master's warning still lingered in her mind. She couldn't just leave like that.

The people in the inn were discussing and pointing at Yan Xiaoxi. All of their gazes were filled with disdain as they looked at Yan Xiaoxi.

Amongst the crowd, only the white-clothed man remained silent, not saying a word.

”Fight! You want to freeload? No way!” Upon hearing that Yan Xiaoxi did not have the money to pay the bill, the waiter immediately turned hostile and changed his attitude.

A dozen strong men lined up together and approached Yan Xiaoxi, scaring the rest of them into fleeing.

This was the first time that Yan Xiaoxi had ever seen something like this. She was at a loss for what to do, so she hurriedly said, ”Speak nicely, don't make a move.”

However, how could the muscular men listen to such persuasion? The moment they attacked, they grabbed onto Yan Xiaoxi's slender arm.

Yan Xiaoxi felt very helpless. She felt extremely sorry for him. If he didn't make a move for fear of hurting her, then she would be in for a ride of misfortune.

”I'll pay the twenty liang for her.” As he looked towards the source of the voice, he saw a man with an extraordinary bearing sitting a few steps away from him.

His white robes fluttered, and he had a handsome face. He held a folding fan in his hand as he looked in that direction.

Wow! Beautiful man!

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi's eyes were shining, and she was so excited that she was about to faint.

In the market, there was an endless flow of people coming and going.

The peddler passionately called out, showing a scene of prosperity.
