Chapter 155: The Gentlemanly Ye Jingtang (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Northwest of Yun Province, Three Rivers Town…

The silver moon hung like a curved hook in the night sky, and the cold moonlight shone on a sparsely lit town. The yellow banner of an inn was swaying silently beside lanterns.

Ding… Ding…

Amidst the gentle ringing of a horse bell, a horse entered from the entrance of the town and stopped in front of the inn. On the horse was a man and a woman.

After a long journey, the people and the bird were tired. Luo Ning jumped off the horse’s back and directly entered the inn without saying a word.

Ye Jingtang dismounted from his horse and took off the Black Qilin Spear on the side of the horse. He handed the reins to the waiter and rubbed his old waist in front of the horse.

He didn’t rub his waist because he was tired from horse riding but because it hurt a little from being pinched.

Yun Province and Ze Province were both massive plains. After leaving the capital, there were endless fields. There was indeed good scenery, but it was almost all identical. There was really nothing to see.

Ye Jingtang had been riding his horse while looking at the road. He wasn’t tired, but Heroine Luo had nothing to do sitting at the back. As they rode, she became a little sleepy. Halfway through, she leaned on his back. In order not to fall, she wrapped her arms around his waist.

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment. Didn’t this ‘advantage’ come itself to him? Since he was bored, he touched the front passenger seat. Then he woke Heroine Luo up. She twisted his waist violently and ignored him the entire way.

Ye Jingtang entered the inn with his spear. It was obvious that Heroine Luo had already gone upstairs.

Three Rivers Town was the main passageway from Liang Province to the capital and from Yun Province to the north. Ye Jingtang had come once when he came to the capital in April and had stayed in this old inn.

There were not many people in the inn at night. The elderly shopkeeper was checking the accounts at the counter.

Because Ye Jingtang had brought dozens of people with him the last time he came, he must have left a deep impression on the staff. When the elderly shopkeeper saw him, he greeted, “Looking at your attire, you must have made a fortune in the capital. I knew that you were very talented.”

Ye Jingtang walked to the counter and took out his identification card. “Shopkeeper, you have a good memory. I found some work in the capital, and I’m doing well.”

After some chit-chat and paying the deposit, Ye Jingtang went to the backyard to get hot water and went to the room on the second floor.

This room in the inn was rather spacious and was fully furnished, but there was clearly only one bed.

Luo Ning had rich experience traveling Jianghu. After checking the table, chairs, door, and window to make sure that there was nothing wrong, she took out the clean bed sheet she had brought and laid them on the inn’s bed.

Ye Jingtang pushed open the door with the hot water and happened to see the elegant Heroine Luo leaning over to arrange the pillows on the bed, causing the blue dress to become tight at the waist… What a round moon!

Luo Ning sensed something and suddenly straightened up. She turned around, her eyes slightly cold.

Ye Jingtang’s expression was normal as he carried the hot water into the room and poured it into the bathtub behind the screen. “The weather is too hot, and I’m sweating all over. Let’s take a bath before sleeping.”

Luo Ning knew what Ye Jingtang had been looking at just now. She wanted to say a few words to him, but in the end, she decided not to and grabbed the bucket. “You go first. I’ll get some water.”

“I’m a man. If I let a woman fetch water, the shopkeeper and the staff will laugh at me. Go wash up. Do you want me to go out?”

Seeing that the little thief was so sensible, Luo Ning couldn’t be too unreasonable. She thought for a moment and said, “Just don’t look around. If I find out…”

“I know.”

Ye Jingtang asked the bird to stand guard on the roof of the inn for the first half of the night. Then he took out his map and checked the route to the Iron Buddha Ridge and the Baoyuan School.

Luo Ning stood behind the screen with a cold temperament. She stood on her tiptoes to look at Ye Jingtang. After confirming that he was very obedient, she felt relieved. She untied her belt, draped her blue clothes on the screen, took off her white undergarments, and sat in the bathtub.

Whoosh-! Whoosh-!

Ye Jingtang’s ears twitched, and his heart really felt a little unstable. But this wait that felt like years didn’t last long.

While Ye Jingtang was looking at the map and letting his imagination run wild, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street outside the window.

Ciack, ciack..

Then the sound of “Coo… Coo? Chirp chirp…” came from the roof.

Ye Jingtang’s eyes narrowed. He felt that something was wrong.

From the cries of the bird, he could discern three pieces of information:

Be careful. There’s a suspicious person approaching.

Ah?

It’s fine. It’s fine. I was seeing things…

This kind of situation had never happened to the bird before. In the past, even if there was a misjudgment, it would directly cancel the alert, and there wouldn’t be any surprises in between.

This gave him the feeling that the bird had discovered danger, but then the enemy had taken out delicious food, and the bird had been bribed…

Ye Jingtang didn’t think that the bird that was more reliable than him would be bribed by a stranger in an instant. It must know the person who came. This person was very close to it, completely trusted, and could override his command authority.

There were only four such people: Dumdum, Heroine Luo, Third Lady, and Little Yunli.

Dumdum’s first priority was to stay in the capital and not give enemies any chance. She would also bring dozens of bodyguards with her and not come secretly.

There was no need to mention Little Yunli. With her mother not at home, she could have fun. If she followed secretly, her butt would probably become itchy.

This only left…

?

Ye Jingtang got up and walked to the window. He pushed it open slightly and looked down. He saw a person wearing a black veiled hat carrying a long weapon enter the inn…

?!

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth, a little confused.

At the same time, Heroine Luo, who was bathing behind the screen, also heard the cries of the bird. She stopped and asked in a low voice, “Is there something unusual?”

Ye Jingtang didn’t expect Third Lady to follow him secretly, but when he thought about how much she cared about him, he felt relieved.

When Heroine Luo asked, Ye Jingtang didn’t know how to answer. He hesitated for a moment and only said, “It’s nothing. There’s just a Jianghu person staying in the inn. Continue bathing.”

Hearing this, Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief and continued to splash water on her neck..
