Chapter 22 Yuwen Chenglin

  "Brother, when did you arrive? Boss Mo, put this brother's bill on my account!"

  After the voice sounded, both the middle-aged man and Ling Qingyan turned their heads, and their eyes were attracted to him for a while... At the stairs by the counter, a young man in a gorgeous blue robe was staring at Ling Qingyan with a surprised face, his eyes shining with excitement.

  "Yuwen young master! So this young master is your friend, then there's no need to pay any deposit..."

  The middle-aged man was also startled to see the blue-robed youth appear, but he quickly recovered and took out a key from under the counter and handed it to Ling Qingyan, "This young master, this is the key to Room Tianzi No. 3."

  As Ling Qing stretched out his hand to take it, the middle-aged man glanced at the little servant beside him and said, "Take this young master to Tianzi No. 3 room..."

  "It's okay!"

  But it was the young man in blue who interrupted the middle-aged man, laughing and saying: "Boss Mo, Tianzi No. 3 room is just next to my room, I'll take my brother there myself... My brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, this time we must have a good reunion, you help me prepare some wine and dishes, send them to my room!"

  "Good!"

  Seemingly having some reservations about the blue-robed middle-aged man, this middle-aged man called Mo Laoban nodded in agreement.

  "Come on, brother!"

  Yuwen Chenglin went downstairs and got on the stairs, directly stretching out his right arm to pull up Ling Qingyan's shoulder, taking Ling Qingyan back upstairs again.

  Ling Qing had yet to fully react, his mind in a daze as he followed the young man up the stairs. The young man before him was someone he remembered, the same person he had saved from the demonic beast on the outskirts of Nan Huang. However, this young man now seemed to have shaken off his previous downtrodden appearance, exuding an air of nobility reminiscent of a young master from a prominent family.

  However, in her heart, Ling Qingyan was also very grateful to the man before her eyes. After all, it was he who had resolved her previously extremely embarrassing situation.

  It's okay if I didn't bring any money when going out, but it's ridiculous that I only realized I had no money when I was about to pay the bill...

  Almost lost face!

  When Ling Qing and Yuwen Chenglin's figures completely disappeared from the middle-aged man's sight, the middle-aged man also let out a sigh of relief.

  Yuwen Young Master is indeed the person that his superior has entrusted to take care of, so he naturally doesn't dare to be even slightly negligent! However, this Yuwen Young Master has been in Yulan City for some days now, but it's unknown what he wants to do... Yesterday, this Yuwen Young Master even abandoned his usual elegant appearance and returned to the inn with a slovenly attire, carrying his heavily injured old servant on his back!

  It wasn't until middle age that he finally realized that Yuwen's young master's goal was in the Southern Wilderness.

  Middle-aged people, also considered to have some cultivation foundation, and their eyes are also somewhat discerning. They naturally know that the old servant following Master Yuwen is a rare high-ranking expert! Even Master Yuwen himself is a high-level martial artist... Yet these two people suffered losses in the Southern Wilderness!

  It's unlikely, but their destination is actually the outer core?

  Regardless of what the middle-aged man thought, Yuwen Chenglin politely invited Ling Qingyan to sit down in his own room at this time, and he also sat at the table and poured two cups of fragrant tea.

  "Never thought I'd see my brother again, but yesterday was a lifesaver..."

  He pushed the fragrant tea in front of Ling Qingyan, and Yuwen Chenglin's face showed a hint of a smile, also with emotion.

  He had been thinking before, and didn't know if he would have the chance to meet again the benefactor who saved him and his old servant yesterday... But who knew? Just now, walking out of the old servant's room, he suddenly wanted to go out for a stroll, and happened to bump into Ling Qingyan in an extremely awkward situation.

  Yuwen Chenglin still can't help but sigh, if it wasn't for his own temporary excitement, he would have really missed this opportunity. Having always grown up under the protection of his family, Yuwen Chenglin rarely encountered danger, let alone life-or-death crises! The experience of yesterday, he still thinks about it with lingering fear, that moment between life and death, if not for the timely rescue by the young man in front of him, he and his old servant would have already gone to the afterlife.

  "It's a piece of cake!"

  Ling Qingyan was also at a loss for words for a moment, and seeing Yuwen Chenglin's enthusiasm, she couldn't help but nod her head.

  "Brother, these words are indeed somewhat excessive. Even if it's just a trivial matter in your eyes, to me, it's an unfathomable debt of gratitude," Yuwen Chenglin said with a serious face, clearly showing some dissatisfaction with Ling Qingyan's reaction.

  "Uh," Ling Qingyan was taken aback, and immediately changed the subject, saying: "Just now, I had to thank this big brother for helping me out. If not, I really don't know how embarrassing it would have been! Hmm, in that case... let's just call it even!"

  Yuwen Chenglin's expression showed disapproval, and Ling Qingyan added: "Even if the previous actions were just a trivial matter in your eyes... but to me, it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"

  For the young man in front of him, Ling Qingyan also had a very good impression at this time. Knowing how to repay kindness and being open and honest, he can be said to be a straightforward and upright good young man! From this, Ling Qingyan also used his own way to deal with him, directly saying these words, so that the man in front of him wouldn't have a chance to retort again.

  "This..."

  Yuwen Chenglin was shocked, completely unexpected that Ling Qingyan would say such a thing, but after a moment's thought, he also knew Ling Qingyan's good intentions, "Alright, then it's settled."

  However, although on the surface it seemed to have agreed with Ling Qingyan, Yuwen Chenglin's heart was not at all thinking of this kind, still feeling extremely grateful for Ling Qingyan's lifesaving grace, and even thinking about how to find an opportunity to repay him in the future.

  "My surname is Yuwen, and my name is Chenglin. I don't know how to address you brothers?" Yuwen Chenglin poured tea from the teapot on the table, asking with a smile.

  Ling Qingyan also couldn't help but smile, "My name is Ling Qingyan, and I am a citizen of the Great Qin State. Looking at this big brother's surname, it seems that he is not from my Great Qin State?"

  "Good to meet you, brother!"

  Yuwen Chenglin nodded and said: "I am indeed not a person of the Great Qin State, I come from the western region of the Chongwu Continent, 'Xia Yu State'."

  " Xia Yu Guo..."

  Ling Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Yuwen Chenglin in surprise, "This big brother, aren't you from the 'Yuwen Family' of Xia Yu Country?"

  The Yuwen family, due to having browsed through some confidential information about the power distribution of the Chongwu continent in the Tianjian Sect's library, also knew that Ling Qingyan was from the top family of Xia Yu country! If the Mo family is a commercial family in Daqin country, rich enough to rival the country; then this Yuwen family, also a commercial family, is equally rich and powerful in Xia Yu country!

  Unexpectedly, the person I saved yesterday might actually be a member of the Yuwen family! Moreover, judging from his demeanor and bearing, he seems to hold a rather high position.

  "Good to meet you, brother!" Yuwen Chenglin was also taken aback, then nodded, "That's right, I'm the third son of the current head of the Yuwen family!"

  Hmph!

  Ling Qingyan quietly took a cold breath, having previously thought that Yuwen Chenglin's status in the Yuwen family was not low, but unexpectedly he was actually the third young master of the direct line.

  Just then, a knock at the door was heard, and it was Xiao Er bringing wine and dishes.

  Although he knew Yuwen Chenglin's identity, Ling Qingyan was not constrained at all and continued to chat with him. The Mo family inn is indeed a Mo family business, just the delicious dishes alone make people relish the aftertaste! And these wines are even more precious, vintage wines that are rarely seen in everyday life.

  After drinking for a while, taking advantage of the slight intoxication, Yuwen Chenglin followed Ling Qingyan and downed a cup before asking casually: "Brother, I see that you're only in your early twenties, yet your martial arts skills are already so extraordinary! But I don't know which sect or family you come from..."

  Ling Qing poured a mouthful of wine into his cup and laughed: "Just yesterday, I had just left the mountain gate..."

  No more words were needed, Yuwen Chenglin's eyes flashed with understanding as he already knew the origin of Ling Qingyan.
