Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 216 Xie Qiutao

Zuo Lingquan entered the gate of the inn, the wide hall was full of seats, and monks in twos and threes were having a drink on the old wine table, looking at the counter of the inn.

The counter was half a person tall, and the fat shopkeeper in a staff cap was holding a pen in one hand and an abacus in the other, counting today's servings.

In front of the counter, a girl of twenty-eight years old was seen with a parcel and a pipa hanging on her back. The pipa was either a musical instrument or a weapon. It was dark in color and looked like an iron lump. It was quite heavy. The shoulder straps covered the fabric on her shoulders. Traces were pressed out.

The girl was wearing a white blouse with a pink pleated skirt underneath, and white embroidered shoes embroidered with lace. She is not tall, as petite as a jade pendant, with a round face and a third of baby fat. Her body is well developed, and the semi-circular hill is bulging when viewed from the side. It cannot be said that her waist is as thin as a willow, but it is certainly not thick. Looks fleshy.

Just looking at the profile, she is also a very cute petite beauty, but the girl's skin is not very good, although the facial features are correct, there are some small freckles.

At this time, the girl was walking towards the stairs with a painting scroll in her hand, turning her head three times a step and looking at the fat shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper may have lost his patience, and he didn't speak, and settled accounts on his own.

The girl went to the stairs, but when she got no reply, she trotted back and said crisply:

"Why don't the shopkeeper give me the key, and I'll open the door myself without the helper leading the way."

With such a soft and tough posture, the shopkeeper had no choice but to take out a sign from under the counter and put it on the stage:

"Since you are young and have no place to live when you come from overseas, I will give you a 50% discount. I will pay for the rent out of my own pocket and pay the landlord to settle the bill. If you keep talking nonsense, go find another house."

This was obviously out of fear that other guests staying in the hotel would be dissatisfied and cause trouble.

The girl understood, picked up the sign and bowed: "Thank you, shopkeeper~", then handed over the money and went up the stairs.

Zuo Lingquan was standing behind him. At this time, he also spent a few large coins, indicating to open a room, and asked in his heart:

"Ma'am, is this girl suspicious?"

There was obviously hesitation on the Huafang side. After several discussions, Shangguan Lingye responded:

"This woman came from overseas. She just got off the ship. The first thing she did was to buy your portrait. She also appeared near you. Well... let's check it out first."

Zuo Lingquan didn't say much when he saw this, took the house sign and walked up the stairs quickly.

The three-story building is very large, with no less than a hundred rooms. There are signs such as 'Heaven A, Earth B...' on the door, and there are some monks in the corridors.

The round-faced girl took the house sign and looked at the doors one by one, muttering:

"Isn't it good to just write 'one, two, three, four'? It's so mysterious..."

Zuo Lingquan followed up behind her without haste, because he was investigating a potential killer and there was no need to hide his identity. He passed directly over the little girl, held a long sword in his arms, and blocked the way.

"Eh~..."

The girl was obviously frightened and looked cautiously at the handsome swordsman carrying a bamboo hat in front of her.

Zuo Lingquan was quite tall. She was as tall as his shoulders at most. She could only see her face clearly if she raised her face. Maybe she felt the pressure was a bit strong, so she took a step back and asked tentatively:

"You... Fellow Daoist are the guards of the inn? Did I go to the wrong place?"

It's still a very soft baby voice.

Zuo Lingquan held the sword and examined it. No matter how he looked at it, this girl didn't look like an assassin. He didn't want to scare others. After thinking about it, his guard remained unabated, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Does the girl think I look familiar?"

"Um?"

The girl blinked her apricot-like eyes, shook her head and said:

"I just came here and I don't know the experts here yet. Who is the Fellow Daoist?"

Zuo Lingquan raised his chin and pointed to the scroll in the girl's hand.

?

The girl was a little confused, but understood the general meaning. She opened the scroll and looked at it, then looked at Zuo Lingquan, and then looked at the scroll again, comparing it back and forth.

Zuo Lingquan's heart was so tight that even Shangguan Lingye made no sound. He was probably preparing to rush over to help when the round-faced girl found out about his identity and launched an attack.

But after the girl looked back and forth many times, she didn't show any strange eyes, but frowned her delicate eyebrows:

"What does Fellow Daoist mean?"

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan was a little puzzled, and gestured to the scroll in her hand:

"The girl hasn't seen it yet?"

The round-faced girl couldn't understand it a little bit. She felt that the monks here were talking, so she turned the scroll and faced Zuo Lingquan:

"What should I see?"

The picture scroll is worth a white jade baht. Although it is not made of fairy materials, the texture is considered extraordinary in the world. The clean white paper is framed with silk cloth, and on the paper is a vertical painting of a figure, which is excellent in painting, and it is still painted.

Zuo Lingquan glanced around and saw the figure in the portrait, wearing a jet black gold-plated battle armor, with a thirty-six-knot fine gold mace hanging on the left side, and a black sheath Mo Yuan sword with a dragon pattern hanging on the right side. He was one foot long and had a big waist. He has a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth. He has such a big body and a round waist. If it weren't for the fact that he had no beard, it would be hard to say that Situ was shocked.

I rely on! What the hell is this?

Zuo Lingquan's eyes widened a bit. He thought the round-faced girl had bought the wrong thing, but when he saw the inscription on the lower right, it clearly said:

Nanhuang Jianzi · Shangguan Jiulong · Central Continent Wolong · Portrait of Zuo Jianxian, handwritten by Dengchao Baixiaosheng.

? !

Zuo Lingquan tilted his head slightly and looked at the portrait for a long time without saying anything.

The round-faced girl held the portrait, looked at Zuo Lingquan, thought about it, and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy a painting of the Southern Wilderness Stegosaurus? Yes, two white jade bahts. I got this painting from an expert with great difficulty..."

twitter……

Zuo Lingquan crossed his arms and felt a little out of control. He asked in his heart:

"Grandma Toffee..."

"grandmother?!"

"Bah... Madam, what's going on with this portrait?"

Shangguan Lingye was not very surprised and explained:

"The way of spiritual practice emphasizes that 'the dragon sees its head but not its tail'. Famous monks cannot be called by their first names, but are referred to by their honorific titles. The same is true for portraits. Selling graffiti without my permission will cause trouble. Immortal The merchants in our family are very shrewd, so it is not surprising that they are painted like this."

Zuo Lingquan thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case. Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't recognize him, Zuo Lingquan stopped talking and said directly:

"Girl, to be honest, I am Nanhuang Sword Master Zuo Lingquan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became tense.

The round-faced girl paused after her sales words, and her expression changed a bit. She looked at Zuo Lingquan unexpectedly, remained silent for a long time, and then whispered:

"I've heard that you nine sect monks have high eyesight. Do you really think that the female monks outside us are just country girls, easy to fool? See for yourself, are you worthy?"

As he spoke, he picked up the portrait of the mighty and domineering Zuo Jianxian and waved it in front of Zuo Lingquan.

"..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. After holding it in for a while, he nodded and said:

"I'm not worthy, it's just a joke. Well... I just heard that the girl is coming from Huajunzhou. I have longed for Huajunzhou for a long time, so I came to say hello..."

Jiliguala...

Zuo Lingquan's ability to strike up conversations was not that bad, and the girls in the boat were secretly worried.

Needless to say, the little girl put the scroll away and looked at Zuo Lingquan with a slightly wary look. The meaning in her eyes was obviously 'to be courteous for nothing, to commit adultery or to steal'.

Zuo Lingquan felt quite embarrassed at the end, so he simply bowed his hand and said:

"I'm Zuo Lingquan, I just want to get to know the girl."

The round-faced girl shook her head like a rattle:

"You don't even want to tell me your name. How dare I know you?"

Zuo Lingquan was speechless for a moment.

The round-faced girl may have felt that she refused too directly and was afraid of offending others, so she added:

"But I don't think you are a bad person, you are quite good-looking...hehe~"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan was speechless for a long time, feeling that if the girl in front of him was an assassin, the Youying alien tribe's plan was probably to kill him.

"Sigh... that's all. I really am Zuo Lingquan. If you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do about it. You'll know it later. I'm really presumptuous today. Please forgive me and take my leave."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Lingquan was going to stay somewhere to cool off, but after thinking about it, he took out two more white jade bahts and handed them to the girl, and then brought the scroll.

The round-faced girl watched Zuo Lingquan leave with doubt in her eyes. She thought for a while and said:

"My name is Xie Qiutao, Fellow Daoist left, walking slowly."

"Thank you, miss, for taking a rest early. If you need anything, just say hello. I can still help with a little help."

"Okay~"

Squeak——

The door is closed.

Miss Xie put away the white jade baht, looked at it a few more times, then came to the next door and opened the door...
