Chapter 458: You Can Eat Meat If I am Satisfied with Your Answer
“How did you figure all of that out? If I am satisfied with your answer, you can eat some of this meat here,” said Ling Chuxi as she picked up one of a few chicken drumsticks and bit into it seriously.
The cheat felt that his soul had suffered an immensely traumatic blow. His integrity and self-esteem had also suffered an immense blow. He really wished to put on a look of disdain, turn around and leave. But he did not because his stomach had started growling again.
“It’s all very simple. Anyone would have known that you guys weren’t locals just by how you look. Of course, if you are not looking for someone, then you must be looking for some place here as you have rushed to Ling Xi City covered in wind and dust. Since you have come here so anxiously, you will definitely not be at this restaurant for food right now if you had found whatever it is you seek. Thus, the result is that you have not found it yet. As to why I said you are looking for someone, I just guessed blindly for that one,” explained the cheat without a tinge of redness on his face, then he picked up a pair of chopsticks to poke at the fattest piece of roast chicken. He really could not take the hunger anymore.
Ling Chuxi did not stop him. Although his answer was not too satisfying, fellows like him who wandered around and swindled people everywhere would have seen a lot and possess a broad range of knowledge. It would not be a bad idea to acquire some information from him.
“What do you know about Rejuvenation Valley?” Ling Chuxi asked after waiting for the cheat to finish scarfing some dishes down and was able catch his breath.
“So, you are indeed looking for a place. Consider yourselves lucky for meeting me then. Otherwise, even if you stayed in Ling Xi City for a year, don’t even think you’d be able to find such a place,” said the cheat as he regained his energy and stood up with a squeak to pull down another banner he was holding in his hand.
“The Number One Under The Heavens Who Is Well Versed In Searching For People, Guiding The Way And Inquiring About Information” read the new banner which had appeared before Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen’s eyes.
Ling Chuxi looked at the banner several times before she could finish reading the words written on it. And then she said, “There are two wrong words.”
“I’m afraid there will always be some people who do not understand,” retorted the cheat without changing the expression on his face as he sat back down and continued to eat. But the tips of his ears had reddened a little.
“Do you really know where it is?” asked Ling Chuxi, not quite being able to trust him.
“Be rest assured. There isn’t a place that I can’t find under this sky,” answered the cheat with his face almost buried in his rice bowl.
“We are in a hurry. You should know there will be consequences if you delay my matters.” threatened Ling Chuxi. She did not wish to cause harm to Second Elder’s life just because she was gullible at this moment.
“Rejuvenation Valley. So you’re seeking the Crisis Reverse Pill, right?” It’ll cost you three thousand taels of fine silver. You can pay me half first.” The cheat’s expression did not change as he spoke as he started to dig into his third bowl of rice. Who knows how many days he had gone without food?
Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were shocked and exchanged glances. If not for Mu Liufeng, they would not only not have heard of the Crisis Reverse Pill but they would not even have known of the existence of Rejuvenation Valley. It looked like this cheat really did know some things. Ling Chuxi passed a gold note to him. Without looking at the note, the cheat stuffed it into his pocket and continued to devour everything on the table greedily.
“How many days has it been since you’ve eaten something?” Even Ling Chuxi felt a pang in her heart as she looked at how the cheat was devouring the food so greedily with a stance that was as if he wished to swallow the bowl and chopsticks together with the food as well.
“Maybe two or three days? Okay, let’s go. Let’s first look for a carriage then I will bring you guys there,” said the cheat, finally full as he wiped his mouth in satisfaction.
‘Two or three days?’ The corner of Ling Chuxi’s mouth twitched. This cheat was really in a sad state.
The three of them walked outside together. The burly man saw that the three of them had come out together and so he hesitated for what seemed like half a day, but in the end he dared not approach them.
They found a carriage very quickly. The cheat headed into the carriage so fast, it was almost as though he had wanted to stick his head right into the carriage.
Ling Chuxi caught him by his collar and dragged him out. She tossed him in the seat where the coachman usually sat.
“I am here to lead the way,” sassed the cheat with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He was here to lead the way, not to be a coachman. And when had he ever become a coachman to others before this?
“I’m letting you sit in the front for you to lead the way. Otherwise, would you prefer to run in front of the carriage to lead the way? Why don’t you pick one?” said Ling Chuxi coolly as she glared at him. “You have eaten so much food so this could help with your digestion.”
