Chapter 837: Just accept the task when you encounter it
"Sir, there is only one room left in the upper room. I wonder..."
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Mo Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Then one upper room, plus another room of any kind, I want two rooms, do you have it?"
Living with Shen Xueqi was not something Mo Cheng considered. Putting aside other things, he was still a student of Jixia Academy. Students of Jixia Academy had to follow very strict rules when traveling outside.
Once any mistake is made, the punishment may be to reflect on one's mistakes in front of a wall at the very least, or expulsion from the academy at the worst.
For example, if they were reported to the academy for living together in the same room even though they were not engaged, the dean would probably slap him to death.
Although the identity of a Jixia student may not seem very impressive, if I were really expelled, I would undoubtedly be in a lot of trouble.
Moreover, one's own title of scholar would disappear along with one's expulsion from school, as the student status of each academy was linked to the imperial examination system of each country.
"Sir, I'm really sorry, but because of this undercurrent, there is only one upper room left in our inn."
The shopkeeper immediately bowed and said, "I see that both of you are capable, so I dare to say that if possible, please live together so that you can take care of each other when the time comes."
Mo Cheng's ears moved slightly. He heard what seemed to be crying and shouting sounds from upstairs. After listening carefully, he looked upstairs thoughtfully.
"Boss, the two young ladies upstairs who are crying so hard, have they encountered any problems?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, your hearing is amazing. To be honest, the two people upstairs are rich daughters who are away from home, but..."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that there were two extra pieces of paper in the house of those two people yesterday. They said that they were the flower-loving young master and would come to their house tonight to have a long talk all night long."
At the same time, after the other party's explanation, Mo Cheng roughly understood what had happened.
Young Master Xihua, number 99 on the blacklist, is good at disguise. He once managed to escape from a siege of 180 people using disguise.
He was also a lecherous thief who was attracted by beautiful women. He became famous because he took the virginity of the daughter of the leader of a certain sect. He became famous for escaping calmly when being hunted by the whole sect.
Mo Cheng had no intention of asking for more information , but he already had a general impression in his mind, that is, the two young ladies from wealthy families who were crying upstairs were favored by Tian Boguang, who imitated Chu Liuxiang's behavior.
"The shopkeeper told me this, it should be more than just a reminder."
The shopkeeper gave a bitter smile, "A customer was spotted by that rapist in our store. If we do nothing, how can we still run this store? However, the tyrants on the blacklist are all highly skilled in martial arts, and our store really has no way to deal with them. I saw that you two carried weapons when you went out, so I guess you are also highly skilled in martial arts. I wonder..."
He hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was clear. The guest was being targeted by a rapist, which was undoubtedly a huge damage to the inn's reputation. The boss in front of him was desperate and wanted to ask if the people with weapons could deal with No. 99 on the blacklist.
If it were anyone else, if they were asked to face the Flower-loving Young Master who was ranked 99th on the Black List, they would probably be secretly nervous. After all, those who were able to make it to the Black List and are still alive must have very strong skills.
Don't let yourself fail to be a hero and end up being killed as soon as you go out, that would be a joke.
But the good thing is that Mo Chengli never refuses commissions, tasks, or help.
"Okay, but let's talk about the remuneration in advance. You can stay in two rooms until the undercurrent recedes. The food and lodging are covered. You also have to give me some extra money. Do you think it's okay? Of course, these are all after the matter is done. If we talk about it in advance, we can save a lot of trouble when the time comes."
Mo Cheng did not refuse directly, which made the shopkeeper excited. He had been wanting to find someone to handle this matter since yesterday, but no matter who it was, when they heard that it was Mr. Xihua, who was ranked 99th on the blacklist, some politely declined, while others turned around and left directly.
If something really happens to the guests in the inn, the owner may face the loss of his century-old golden signboard passed down from his ancestors.
Seeing that someone had agreed to take on the job, the shopkeeper was not going to bargain any more. He led the way and took the two people to the upper room.
After seeing the two upper rooms that were empty and connected, Mo Cheng pointed to the room in front of him and said, "Didn't you say there was only one upper room left?"
"Excuse me, sir. In the past, when a man and a woman came here because of the Dark Tide, we always said that there was only one room left. But if two rooms are really needed, we will say that a guest happened to leave today..."
Very good, I didn’t expect that I could see the flower work of the small hotel near the school here.
After the shopkeeper and the waiter left, Mo Cheng explained to Shen Xueqi , "Anchao is outside the city and I don't think he can leave for a while, so I plan to help this inn solve the problem of No. 99 on the Black List."
"I don't know how long the dark tide will last, and my luggage is lost. I don't think the money I got from those black-robed men will be enough to get to [Nanli Daoyu]. I'll take this opportunity to earn some extra money."
Mo Cheng estimated that this escort mission would definitely take a long time. Although he was not sure whether the money he had seized was a lot, he estimated that it would not be enough, so the best way was to use the style he had in the [Foreign Land].
Wherever you go, see if there are any local tasks you can take on, so as to obtain the supplies you need along the way.
"I have no opinion, just do as you say."
Shen Xueqi didn't seem to be unhappy with Mo Cheng's choice to get involved in trouble. She looked around and said, "That flower-loving young master, should we just kill him?"
"Let's take a look at the situation first. You are going to die for sure, but you need to think about how you will die."
In addition to the expenses along the way, Mo Cheng also had another reason, which was to test the average level of the strong people in this world.
Although No. 99 on the Black List is almost out of the list, it should be just right to be used as a whetstone.
Time passed quickly and it was night. Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi seemed to have forgotten what they had promised during the day. They stayed in the room after nightfall and did not come out.
Late at night, a figure , as if it was not affected by gravity, and landed outside the window of Shen Xueqi's room.
"I didn't expect that when I came here to see those two little beauties with tears in their eyes during the day, I would see such a cold and unparalleled beauty."
Mr. Xihua dipped his index finger in saliva, gathered his strength, and poked a small hole in the window paper. Then he took out a thin tube and blew into it.
It contains a special smoke that can make even a female warrior with great martial arts skills fall into a deep sleep before his unique [Illusion Barrier].
"I'm supposed to be lucky today..."
Before he could finish what he was saying in his mind, Mr. Xihua felt that the other end of the tube was blocked by someone, and then a hand broke through the window and came straight to his face.
