Who in the world does not know you?

Chapter 88 Common Language

You can encounter all sorts of people in every profession, and fortune telling at a street stall is no exception.

Since Li Hongyi left Ningzhou Prefecture, all the events related to her have come to an end.

Mu Li is dead, Ma Ben is dead, and the monk who committed multiple robberies and murders in the surrounding area is also dead.

Mu Li was killed by Ma Ben, Ma Ben was killed by Yun Ping, and the mysterious monk was killed by Ning Qi.

Ning Qi was originally thinking about how to fabricate a reason to get away with it. He claimed to his superiors that he killed Ma Ben and the monk, but he didn't want Yun Ping to get into trouble.

Unexpectedly, the prefect did not investigate the matter further and even rewarded Ning Qi for his actions, leaving onlookers confused about whether Ma Ben or Ning Qi was related to the prefect.

In any case, everything has finally settled down.

Everyone's life returned to its previous peace, including Yun Luobai's.

He still sets up his fortune-telling stall at the same location every day, and closes up before dusk to go home and cook for Yunping.

If there's anything different about his life compared to before, it's that with Li Hongyi's departure, a more lively figure has entered his life.

However, this liveliness often left him feeling overwhelmed...

Just as noon was approaching, Yun Luobai had just seen off the guests when a loud shout came from the street corner.

"Second Brother! Are we closing up shop?"

Wen Zhao jogged up to Yun Luobai, rested her hands on the table, and looked at him with bright eyes.

"There are no more customers, so we have to close up shop for lunch and come back this afternoon."

Yun Luobai reluctantly put away the divination money on the table, afraid that the impetuous girl in front of him would lose something.

He now sets up a fortune-telling stall here every morning and afternoon. Li Hongyi used to say that he lacked ambition, but now he should be considered to have it.

But he also felt that even if Li Hongyi knew that he was now running a stall every day, she probably wouldn't praise him. Instead, she would mock him for doing these swindling and cheating things again.

He would often think of Li Hongyi in his spare time.

Perhaps it was because of her fair skin and beautiful appearance, truly a peerless beauty, that he was captivated at first glance.

Perhaps it was because he and she shared a common experience in Ningzhou Prefecture. They were from two different places, and it was a special kind of fate that they met in Ningzhou Prefecture.

Perhaps it was because he didn't have to hide anything from her, and only she and Yun Luobai were meeting for the first time.

"Second brother, what are you thinking about? Come on, it's on me!"

Yun Luobai smiled, picked up a large square cloth from the side and covered the table. Wen Zhao dragged his arm forward, but the movement was not rough.

Yun Luobai had seen Wen Zhao interacting with others, and if it were Qing Chuan, she would have wanted to dislocate that young master Qing's arm.

Noon is usually the hottest time of day. Looking up at the sky, Yunluobai sees blue skies and white clouds, but the bright sunshine is a bit dazzling. It's a perfect day for an outing.

He didn't know where Wen Zhao was taking him. Ever since Wen Zhao finished her escort mission and returned to Ningzhou Prefecture, she basically only did two things every day.

One reason was to shout loudly outside the Ruyi Inn to provoke and sneer, and the other was to come and play with Yun Luobai.

The four grew up together in Ningzhou Prefecture. Wen Zhao was the fourth child and had a fiery and impulsive personality. Only when dealing with her second brother, Yun Luobai, would she appear relatively gentle and even cautious.

Yun Luobai sensed it, but he only regarded Wen Zhao's special treatment of him as a sign of his good fortune in surviving the ordeal.

As the two walked along the street, Yun Luobai took the opportunity to ask about Ning Qi and Qing Chuan.

"Are Big Brother and Qingchuan waiting for us at the restaurant?"

Previously, the four of them often got together, all of which were organized by Wen Zhao. She was a lively girl with a bold and unrestrained personality. When she wasn't out escorting goods, she didn't have much to do, so she often met up with other people.

"My eldest brother is away on official business, supposedly to report to another local government office about the monk he killed. My third brother isn't home either; he's probably out visiting brothels, but I don't know which one. I heard the monk my eldest brother killed was quite powerful; for him to kill him, my eldest brother must have some skill..."

"It's a pity I wasn't there. Sigh, you guys went through so many interesting things, and I wasn't there! If I had been there, I would have taken down that monk with one shot. Let's see if he's really as powerful and invulnerable as the rumors say!"

"But if he's invulnerable to swords and spears, how did that female thief disguised as Ye Zi manage to break his defenses by stabbing him with a dagger? What kind of dagger was that powerful?"

Regarding what happened during Wen Zhao's absence from Ningzhou Prefecture, the other three had already told her in detail when the four of them were drinking together before, after she kept asking them.

Yun Luobai didn't hide anything about Li Hongyi. He told the others that Ye Zi in his house was actually the female thief who was imprisoned but then disappeared without a trace. Now that her identity had been exposed, she had already fled.

As for why the female thief went to the prison for a stroll, and why she disguised herself as Ye Zi and stayed by his side, Yun Luobai said he didn't know either.

He genuinely didn't know Li Hongyi's purpose in approaching him, but judging from what Li Hongyi had sneaked into his room that night looking for, her purpose was probably to steal something from him.

Yun Luobai didn't think he had any rare treasures around him that would attract Li Hongyi's attention.

However, he did not tell the others that Li Hongyi had introduced herself to him. Even if she had only told him her name, he could have confirmed her identity based on that.

"Second brother, I'm talking to you. You saw it back then, right? What kind of dagger was that?"

Wen Zhao shook Yun Luobai's arm, and the latter smiled, recalling the dagger that Li Hongyi had taken out of her bosom.

The moment she told him her name, he guessed her identity; the dagger she had taken out earlier was an important clue.

The combination of emerald green and deep purple, along with its sharpness, is enough to pierce the chest of someone with such formidable external martial arts skills that they are impervious to blades and spears; it is clearly no ordinary object.

"That is probably one of the most powerful weapons in the world."

"Tch, is it really that exaggerated? The Silver Wing Demon-Slaying Spear that the young master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect used before looked much better than my spear, but it was just so-so in a fight."

"So where exactly are we going?"

"Ruyi Inn"

"What are you going there for? I'm telling you beforehand, I'm not as good at swearing as you are."

"Hey, Second Brother, you're a refined man, how could I possibly let you curse for me? It's just that last time I asked you to help me calculate when that young master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect would recover from his injuries, you said there were too many variables to calculate. I was thinking of asking you to help me find out the situation. If he's recovered, we can fight again. Just thinking about how he held back last time makes me angry!"

Wen Zhao gritted her teeth in anger, but Yun Luobai seemed to have thought of something and agreed with a smile.

"OK."

He and Lengxiao shared a common language that others didn't know.

About a chance to meet again.
