After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 562 Insidious and cunning

The next morning, Shen Xu woke up in an inn in the inner city of Biwei.

Opening the window, you can see the Qingluan Mountains in the distance, as green as brocade.

Rivers meander down like ribbons, calm and gentle, crystal clear, as if melting the verdant hues of the spring mountains, and dynamically connecting the entire city.

The mist and water vapor that often linger in the mountains permeate the entire city, shrouding it in a light haze and draping it in a dreamlike veil.

Within the vast, verdant canopy of the willow trees in the center of the city, tiny, gentle specks of light, seemingly imbued with life, constantly drifted out, floating in every corner of the air.

Bathed in the morning light, it refracts a soft, dreamy pale golden glow, radiating a hazy, tranquil luster.

He reached out and touched the tiny specks of light, which melted into his palm without any resistance.

That was the life energy that Liu Zun fed back to Biwei City. Although it was very weak, as long as one lived here for a long time, even an ordinary person could become healthy through the subtle influence of the energy.

Biwei City truly lived up to its reputation, but unfortunately, his time was limited, preventing him from visiting more cities to experience life there.

Thinking of this, he decided to go out and find Liu Xianchu. There were many people who wanted to join Biwei City, but the number of people who could take the test each day was limited. He could only stay in Biwei City for three days. Without anyone's help, he might not get a turn even if he waited until the year of the monkey.

When Shen Xu tasted the food of Biwei City for the first time, he suddenly understood why Liu Xianchu had lost his composure back then.

This is so bland! They didn't even bother to add much salt.

Moreover, the owner said that the food here is already the most heavily seasoned, and it's hard to imagine how desperate it would be to eat this kind of food for the rest of one's life.

Indeed, no place is perfect.

If he really lives here in the future, he must plant the hillside full of scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers.

Pepper Gate, live on forever!

……

City Shoufu.

"You mean that kid is looking for Xian Chu?" Liu Anren frowned.

"Send him away, lest she be misled by others again."

“But he said he had already paid the Second Miss, and that the Second Miss was obligated to accompany him on a tour of Biwei City.”

"You bastard!" Liu Anren slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair.

"Bring the Second Miss here; I have something to ask her!"

Some time later, Liu Xianchu brought a little girl of about ten years old to Liu Anren's study.

"Dad, why did you call me for no reason? I haven't eaten yet!" Liu Xianchu complained somewhat discontentedly.

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating! And why did you bring Xiaoying here?"

"Mommy's calling Daddy to have his meal!" the little girl said in her childish voice.

"I understand. You go back first. I have something to say to your sister."

"No way! I promised to spend the whole day with Xiaoying today. If she goes back now, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"

Xiaoying nodded vigorously, "Xiaoying wants to stay with her sister."

"Now you suddenly remember to keep your promise? You took their money and didn't do anything! They've come knocking on your door now."

"If word gets out, what will people think of you? What will they think of the Liu family!"

"Wu Hen! Why is he so troublesome!" Liu Xianchu gritted her teeth.

"I just saw that he had malicious intentions!"

"Why should we keep any promises to someone like that? Letting him into Biwei City is already a favor," Liu Xianchu said nonchalantly.

"Nonsense! Even if he has malicious intentions, as long as he doesn't break the laws of the Heavenly Court, he is a guest of Biwei City."

Besides, this has nothing to do with him; it's your broken promise. It seems all the things I taught you since childhood have been wasted.

Since you agreed to his request and accepted the fee, you should be responsible to the end, no matter who he is.

How I deal with him is my business; it's none of your concern.

"Can't you find someone else to keep him company? I really don't want to see him," Liu Xianchu pleaded, then tugged at Xiaoying's sleeve.

"There's no room for negotiation on this! Go find him now."

"I'll go then! It's just a pity that I can't accompany you, Xiaoying."

It's the same promise, but in your father's eyes, you're not as important as a stranger.

Don't blame your sister!

Liu Xianchu shook his head at Xiaoying with a hint of helplessness.

"You're really going to keep pushing me to my death! Take Xiaoying with you!"

"Yay! We can go out and play!" Xiaoying clapped her hands excitedly.

Liu Xianchu's face immediately fell.

When Shen Xu saw Liu Xianchu again in the city garrison, he could feel the resentment emanating from her even from a distance.

It's just a meeting, is it really that big of a deal? How much must she hate him?

"A day apart feels like three autumns; Miss Liu is still as radiant as ever."

No matter what happens, praise is never wrong.

"You flatterer! Tell me, what do you want?" Liu Xianyue said impatiently.

"I have something I'd like to ask Miss Liu for help with..."

"I won't help, you can go back now." After saying that, Liu Xianchu was about to pull Xiaoying back, but she clearly felt a bit of resistance.

"Miss Liu can name her conditions, and I will certainly not refuse if it is within my power."

"leave me alone!"

"Of course, as long as Miss Liu is willing to help me, I can even hide my face and walk away whenever I see Miss Liu in the future."

"Big brother, Father asked Second Sister to accompany you to stroll around Biwei City!" Xiao Ying said.

"Oh? Really? What an honest and good child. What's your name?" Shen Xu squatted down and asked with a smile.

"My name is Xiaoying. Can you take me out to play, big brother?"

"Xiaoying, what are you doing! He's a complete scoundrel." Liu Xianchu quickly stepped in front of Xiaoying.

Xiao Ying, behind her back, made a pleading gesture to Shen Xu.

Seeing Xiaoying's pleading eyes, Shen Xu said, "Since Miss Liu is unwilling to help me, then accompany me to stroll around Biwei City!"

After all, this was agreed upon from the beginning.

"Where do you want to go?" Seeing Xiaoying's excited expression, Liu Xianchu sighed and asked weakly.

Shen Xu looked at Xiao Ying and asked, "Where would you like to go, Xiao Ying?"

"I want to go outside the city!"

"Absolutely impossible!" Liu Xianchu refused without hesitation.

"Where does big brother want to go?" Xiaoying looked at him with innocent eyes, which reminded him of Wuyou.

It's been almost three years since he left Yunlong City. He wonders if that clever little girl is as tall as Xiaoying now. He still remembers to introduce Xiaoruo to her as a friend.

"Let's go to Chuiyunping! I haven't seen Liu Zun up close yet."

"Give up on that idea! Lord Liu will never accept someone as treacherous and cunning as you!" Liu Xianchu said coldly.

"Insidious and cunning!" Shen Xu was taken aback; this was the first time someone had described him that way.

He admitted that he was at most a little hypocritical, but he was far from being insidious and cunning!

He was somewhat confused as to what he had done to offend Liu Xianchu.
