Although she had been rejected many times, when the girl talked to Xu Taiping and the others, her face was still full of a sweet smile.
”Very good, very good, grandpa’s storytelling is very good.”
Before Xu Taiping could speak, the little monkey Ping’an jumped onto the table and nodded vigorously with great sincerity.
”Wow, you can actually talk, little monkey?!”
Hearing the little monkey speak, Fang Lian’er was first stunned, and then extremely pleasantly surprised .
Although spirit beasts could often be seen in Tianxia Du, for an ordinary girl like this, the opportunity to come into such close contact with a spirit beast was not much.
And the girl’s voice also made the other guests in the teahouse cast their gazes towards Xu Taiping’s table one after another.
”Jiji!”
Realizing that it had caused trouble, Ping’an immediately turned around and got into Xu Taiping’s sleeve, and at the same time transmitted a voice to Xu Taiping full of apology, saying:
“Brother, this elder sister is called Fang Lian’er. When that Liu Cheng bullied us earlier, although she didn’t say anything, she was very angry in her heart and really wanted to help us. So I just couldn’t hold back.”
Before coming to this teahouse, Xu Taiping actually told him not to speak.
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, we have already been targeted by that mother and son of the Liu family.”
Xu Taiping comforted Ping’an with a voice transmission.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken so loudly.”
At this time, the granddaughter of the storyteller old man also realized that she shouldn’t have shouted so loudly, and immediately said with an apologetic look on her face.
“Ping’an is right. Your grandfather tells the story very well.”
Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head, and then took out more than a dozen gold essence coins from his sleeve and put them into the earthen bowl of Fang Lian’er.
It’s not that he is stingy. It’s just that for ordinary people, having too many gold essence coins in their hands will instead attract disasters.
These dozen or so are just right.
“These are… these are gold essence coins?”
Looking at the dozen or so gold essence coins in the earthen bowl, Fang Lian’er was stunned there, and her mind couldn’t turn around for a while.
It’s not that she has never seen gold essence coins, but she never thought that someone would be so generous and reward her and her grandfather with a dozen gold essence coins at once.
Fang Lian’er calculated in her heart and found that if the ten Xi gold essence coins were exchanged for ordinary silver taels, they could be exchanged for a full one hundred Xi and ten taels of silver.
For this poor grandfather and granddaughter, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
“Sir… sir!”
However, by the time Fang Lian’er came back to her senses, Xu Taiping had already put down the tea money and gone downstairs.
“Oh no, this young master has offended the Liu family. If he walks out of the Jufeng Tower like this, he will definitely be ambushed by the people of the Liu family.”
As soon as she thought of the cruel methods of the Liu family mother and son, and then looked at the dozen or so gold essence coins in her earthen bowl, Fang Lian’er’s beautiful eyebrows twisted, and immediately she hugged the earthenware pot and ran towards the window with a firm look in her eyes.
“Lian’er, what are you going to do?”
The storytelling old man, who was just cleaning up the stall, suddenly saw his granddaughter running wild towards the window, and immediately followed up nervously and quickly.
However, Fang Lian’er ignored the storytelling old man. She just grabbed the window sill with one hand, then stuck her neck out of the window and looked downstairs anxiously for something.
When Xu Taiping’s figure came into her sight, Fang Lian’er’s brows finally relaxed.
Immediately, only to hear her shout at Xu Taiping with her clear and crisp voice like a silver bell: “The foreign young master with the spirit monkey, stop!”
Upon hearing this voice, Xu Taiping, who had just walked out of Jufeng Tower, stopped in his tracks and looked up towards the upstairs.
”What’s the matter, girl?”
Xu Taiping downstairs asked curiously.
After saying this, he even coughed several times in a row.
Seeing Xu Taiping’s sickly appearance, Fang Lian’er was even more convinced that her decision was correct. So she cleared her throat and continued to shout loudly at Xu Taiping downstairs: Sir, you are new to Tianxia Du, you should go and visit Fulong Alley. Although it is a bit of a detour, it will definitely make your trip worthwhile!
Fulong Alley is the territory of the Yunsha Gang, and the Yunsha Gang, unlike the neutral Jufeng Tower, is a sworn enemy of the Liu family in Tianxia Du.
So in Fang Lian’er’s opinion, as long as Xu Taiping goes to Fulong Alley, the people of the Liu family in Tianxia Du will not dare to do anything to him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping downstairs was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and cupped his hands at Fang Lian’er to thank her and said: Thank you for the girl’s reminder. I will go and Fulong Alley now.
He never expected that this soft and weak little girl would dare to risk offending the Liu family to remind him.
”Farewell, sir. Come and listen to my grandpa’s storytelling when you have time.”
Seeing that Xu Taiping had listened to her reminder, Fang Lian’er was suddenly overjoyed and immediately smiled and waved vigorously at Xu Taiping downstairs.
……
“Big brother, I wasn’t wrong, was I? Sister Lian’er is really a good person. So many people upstairs knew that that mother and son wanted to harm us, but only she was willing to step forward and remind us.”
After waving goodbye to Fang Lian’er upstairs, Little Monkey Ping’an got out of Xu Taiping’s sleeve and said happily in Xu Taiping’s ear.
“Hmm.” Xu Taiping nodded. “This girl has a chivalrous heart.”
In these days, the word chivalry almost only appears in the mouths of storytellers.
So when he saw that Fang Lian’er was willing to stand up and remind him, Xu Taiping inexplicably felt a warmth in his heart.
“Taiping, this girl’s suggestion is consistent with our previous judgment. After going to Fulong Alley in the west, the hand of the Liu family of Tianxia Du won’t be able to reach there.”
At this time, only heard Fairy Lingyue Sound transmission to Xu Taiping.
“Hmm.” Xu Taiping nodded. “But even if we go to Fulong Alley, we still have to be careful.”
Regarding how to get rid of the entanglement of the mother and son of the Liu family of Tianxia Du, in fact, when going downstairs, Xu Taiping had already discussed a countermeasure with Fairy Lingyue.
“After going to Fulong Alley, we still have to look for that West Pointer again. After all, this is the only… for us to help Xu Chengling overcome the tribulation at present.”
“Bang! ——”
Just as Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping were discussing the next countermeasure, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.
Turning around to look, I saw an old man lying in a pool of blood on the ground below Jufeng Tower.
“This old man seems to be… seems to be the storyteller just now!”
Xu Taiping used his eyesight to carefully look at him for a while, and then his complexion changed, and he recognized the old man lying in a pool of blood.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandpa! …”
Before Xu Taiping could figure out what had happened, a girl rushed out of Jufeng Tower with extremely fast steps screaming in a flustered manner and rushing towards the old man lying in a pool of blood.
“It’s… it’s Sister Lian’er!”
Ping’an recognized the girl at a glance.
Looking at the old man lying in a pool of blood, and then looking at the girl kneeling beside the old man and crying non-stop two big words immediately appeared in Xu Taiping’s mind——
Revenge.
His guess was correct. This was exactly the revenge of the Liu family mother and son on the maiden and her grandfather and grandson.
“Little guy from out of town!”
At this time, a voice came from the window on the second floor of Jufeng Tower was like a sharp blade cutting through the chaotic and noisy sound in front of Jufeng Tower and passing in Xu Taiping’s ears.
Xu Taiping looked up in the direction of the sound and saw that the Liu family mother and son were standing at the window on the second floor of Jufeng Tower, looking at him.
“It’s still in time to sell me your spiritual monkey now. After tonight, it’s hard to say.”
Tang Yueru looked at Xu Taiping with a cold smile in her eyes.
She was blatantly threatening Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping looked at Tang Yueru for a moment, then said nothing and walked straight towards Fang Lian’er and her grandfather who was lying in a pool of blood. At the same time, he took out a Bone-Regenerating Pill and a jade slip in his hands respectively.
“Taiping, don’t be impulsive. Now is not the time to take action.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.
“Hmm.” Xu Taiping nodded. “I’ll try not to take action.”
As he spoke, he picked up the jade slip in his hand and then transmitted a voice to it with his mind:
“Brother Mu Yun, this is Xu Taiping. I have a favor to ask. Please reply when you receive this.”
