I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 440
440 Finding a Clue (2)
‘This won’t do. If this continues, I’ll probably collapse before I even reach Huang Ping County.’
Little Seven rolled her eyes and cupped her hands towards Lin Yuyan,””Sister-in-law, how do you think we should go to Huangping County?”
Hearing the word ‘sister-in-law’, Lin Yuyan, who was missing her senior brother, trembled. She turned to look at Little Seven and said,””You just…What did you call me?”
“Gulp…”
Swallowing her saliva, Little Seven resisted the pressure and shouted again,””Sister-in-law, just sitting together with Eldest Brother makes people feel that they are a match made in heaven. You can be said to be the model of a perfect couple. It will definitely be a matter of course for you to become my sister-in-law.”
!!
“Oh?” Lin Yuyan stared at Little Seven,””Do you really think so?”
Feeling an inexplicable murderous aura attacking her, Little Seven bit her tongue and nodded,””The two of you are a match made in heaven. Anyone would think so, and I’m not the only one who thinks so.”
“Hehe!” Lin Yuyan smiled shyly and cupped her face with both hands.
‘So in the eyes of outsiders, I’m so compatible with Senior Brother. How embarrassing.’
Feeling the evil aura gradually fade away, Little Seven heaved a sigh of relief and panted crazily.
” The people of the big families are indeed so different.’
Little Seven had seen many cultivators in various places, but she had never felt such a strange and terrifying aura from them.
When Little Seven had calmed down, Lin Yuyan turned around and said,””Let’s go. We have to hurry up and complete senior brother’s mission.”
“Yes.” ” Yes,” Seven replied.” How are you going to Feng Shuang City, Sister-in-law?” I’ll arrange a carriage for you.”
“Your arrangements are too slow. Come with me. I know the flying car shop here.”
Hearing the words ” flying car “, Little Seven knew that she didn’t have much chance to show off. This kind of flying car that was driven by spirit stones was definitely not something an ordinary person like him could afford.
They got on the flying car and arrived at Feng Shuang City in the blink of an eye.
Arriving in front of a restaurant, Little Seven cupped her hands towards Lin Yu Yan,””Sister-in-law, go in and rest first. I’ll go find some acquaintances to get some information.”
“You have acquaintances here?” Lin Yuyan asked.
“Hai, for people like us who make a living, we pay attention to getting into groups to keep warm. We have to know a little bit of people everywhere, or else we won’t be able to get along.”
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you here.”
Looking at the extremely attentive Little Seven, the waiter in the restaurant was a little confused. He thought that the manager didn’t say that there would be a new person today.
After entering the lobby, Xiao Qi looked at the waiter who was still in a daze and said,”Take us to the Autumn Room.”
Only then did the waiter come back to his senses. He hurriedly came up and bowed.”Dear guests, please allow this lowly one to say that our Autumn Title…”
Without waiting for the waiter to finish, Little Seven took out a piece of silver and threw it at him,””I know your rules. Hurry up and lead the way.”
Seeing that the other party was so generous, the waiter naturally did not waste any more time and immediately made an inviting gesture.”Hey, this way please.”
When they arrived at the third floor’s Autumn VIP room, before the waiter could take off the cloth on his shoulder, Little Seven had already taken out the handkerchief from her waist and wiped the table and chairs in the room. She then looked at Lin Yuyan and said,””Sister-in-law, please sit.”
Lin Yuyan nodded slightly and sat in front of the table.
After being stunned for a while, the waiter finally reacted and said respectfully,”The two of you, from your accent, you came from Xi’an County, right?”
Seven immediately shook her head,”I’m from Xi’an County, but my sister-in-law is from Changyang County. If you have any suitable recipes, feel free to tell me.””
The Lin family was rooted in Changyang County. This was common knowledge to the people of the Qi Kingdom. Moreover, Little Seven had long recognized Lin Yuyan’s accent.
“Oh, so you’re an honored guest from Changyang County. Then let’s have two steamed mandarin fish, one catty of spring fish, and one catty of braised sea cucumber. This is considered a blessing.”
Listening to the waiter’s melodious voice, Lin Yuyan recalled that she hadn’t been to such a high-class restaurant for a long time. In Sheng Country, even if you had money, you wouldn’t be able to find a restaurant like this.
“Alright, let’s go.” Lin Yuyan nodded.
“Alright.” The waiter agreed. Just as he was about to make tea for the two of them, he saw that the young miss’s attendant had already made it.
“If this isn’t snatching work, why…”
Seeing that he had nothing to do, the waiter bowed to Lin Yuyan and walked out of the private room.
After making the tea, Little Seven took out a jar and opened it,””Sister-in-law, there are some candied fruits here. They were all bought by the Five Tastes Hall. Try them. If they don’t suit your taste, I’ll go elsewhere and buy some for you.”
“Hall of Five Tastes?” Lin Yuyan’s eyes lit up.” It’s not easy to buy candied fruits there, right? You have some tricks up your sleeve.
“Hehe.” She smiled embarrassedly.” I just know a lot of friends, so I got some through the back door.”
He picked up a piece of fresh peach candied fruit and put it into his mouth.
After chewing two mouthfuls, Lin Yuyan nodded in satisfaction and said,””No wonder senior apprentice-brother took a fancy to you. You do have some ability. Where are you working now?”
“Sister-in-law, I’m just fooling around in a small gang to earn some money.”
“En, do your best for Shixiong, and you will definitely get some benefits.”
“Thank you sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law. I will definitely do my best for brother Wang.”Seven bowed.
She picked up another piece of dried longan and put it into her mouth. Lin Yuyan asked again,”Earlier, that waiter seemed to have said that there are rules in this Autumn private room?”
“Ah.” Little Seven nodded,” Even in this Autumn VIP room, it would cost at least one tael of silver.”
Lin Yuyan looked at the decoration of the private room and nodded.”It’s worth this price.”
Then, he took out a brocade bag from his Qian Kun Ring and handed it to Little Seven,””Take it. I’ll rely on you to fight along the way.”
Little Seven quickly waved her hand.” Sister-in-law, I can’t do this. I can’t do this. It’s my honor to be able to do something for you. You…”
“Cut the crap. If I ask you to take it, then take it. How can I ask you to do something and then ask you to pay for it?”
When she said this, Little Seven didn’t refuse and picked up the brocade bag,””Thank you, Sister-in-law.”
“Okay, you go do your work. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Alright, wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”After Little Seven finished speaking, she retreated out of the room.
When the door of the private room closed, Lin Yuyan could not help but smile. The way she called her sister-in-law made her feel a little “smug”.
‘It’s just a matter of time anyway. It’s the same if I hear it earlier.’
After a while, Lin Yuyan took out the waist token from her Qian Kun Ring and said,””Senior Brother, we’ve arrived at Feng Shuang City.”
Lin Yuyan had returned to the cave before Little Seven, so she had already given the Lin family waist token to her senior brother, so she could send a message from afar.
After a while, Jiang Beiran’s voice came from the waist tag.
“Alright, is everything going well?”
When she heard the voice of her senior apprentice brother from the token, Lin Yuyan suddenly had a very strange feeling. After all, this waist token could only be held by the Lin family. Moreover, her brother and sister-in-law often used waist tokens to convey their feelings.
Now that she heard her senior brother’s voice coming from the waist token, she immediately had the feeling that she had already married him.
” Senior Brother’s voice is so pleasant to hear.’
Lin Yuyan rubbed her face with the token and replied,””We just arrived at Feng Shuang City. Little Seven went to gather information.”
“Alright, remember to contact me as soon as there are any new developments.”
“Yes.”
Seeing the light on the jade token gradually fade away, Lin Yuyan picked it up and rubbed it against her face. The corners of her mouth rose higher and higher.
On the other side, after leaving the restaurant with the brocade bag, Little Seven quickly found a small alley with five people. She observed the surroundings and only carefully opened the brocade bag when she found no one.
In an instant, Little Seven felt that her eyes were blinded.
The brocade bag was full of exquisite gold beads and silver leaves. With this quality, Little Seven was sure that she could exchange them for thousands of silver taels at any silver shop.
‘This…Is this a big shot?
