Chapter 256: Meeting Gao Xu
When they left the s.h.i.+ Mansion, it was already afternoon.
Lu Sheng fell asleep immediately after returning to the inn. Perhaps because she had not rested enough after rus.h.i.+ng for nearly half a month, she fell into a deep sleep the moment she laid on the bed.
After she slept, Chu Sihan set up a boundary around her before leaving.
Although the demons did not appear today, they might find her again.
He did not know if it was because of the Qi Covering Pill that they were able to travel safely.
If that was the case, it proved that Lu Sheng’s guess was right. Those demons were after them.
No, to be more precise, they were after their blood.
Moreover, along the way, he did not hear any cases of blood-sucking. He did not know if there were really only two demons.
After Chu Sihan left, he knocked on the next door.
The door was opened quickly. When he saw the person at the door, he was surprised. “Lord Chu.”
“Follow me.”
Chu Sihan walked towards the staircase.
Lin Jiang was stunned for a moment. As if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up.
After closing the door, he tidied his clothes and hurried after Chu Sihan.
The two of them walked out of the inn and onto the street.
Perhaps because the duo’s looks were too dazzling, they attracted the attention of many ladies along the way.
Especially Chu Sihan. There were even girls who pa.s.sed him handkerchiefs on the streets, but he ignored them.
The further they walked, the faster Lin Jiang’s heart beat.
He was not afraid of what Chu Sihan would do to him. Instead, he was anxious and excited at the thought of meeting the legendary figure.
Just as he was about to ask Chu Sihan how far away they were, Chu Sihan suddenly stopped at the entrance of an inn.
Compared to the inn they stayed in, this inn was much more low-key and simple.
To put it bluntly, it was a bit worn out.
Lin Jiang stopped in his tracks and his expression suddenly became doubtful.
Didn’t all the big shots stay in inns with good conditions? This inn did not have a single guest other than the waiter and shopkeeper.
Chu Sihan glanced at him sideways and walked in again.
He explained calmly, “Gao Xu doesn’t like crowds or luxury.”
“I see!”
Lin Jiang nodded and continued following him.
“Guests, this place has been booked. If you want to stay, please move elsewhere.”
The shopkeeper welcomed them and reminded them kindly.
Lin Jiang waved his hand. “We’re here to find someone.”
When the shopkeeper heard that, he immediately greeted them warmly and even let the waiter lead them upstairs.
“That guest lives in this room. You can knock on the door directly.”
The waiter left in a hurry without waiting for their reply.
He looked fearful.
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not stop him. Instead, he raised his head and knocked on the door.
When Lin Jiang saw this, he hurriedly stood up and tidied his clothes and hair again. Then, he took a deep breath.
Chu Sihan turned back and glanced at him in amus.e.m.e.nt. Then, he turned back again and waited for the door to open.
“Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me if you have nothing to do?”
A stern voice came from inside, seemingly carrying some lingering anger and impatience.
“I haven’t seen Uncle-Master Gao for so long, but you’re still so hot-tempered.”
After Chu Sihan spoke, there was silence inside for a while. After a while, the door was pulled open.
A stern-looking man in his forties or fifties walked out.
When he saw Chu Sihan, a smile appeared on his stern face.
He patted Chu Sihan’s shoulder and laughed. “Good lad. It’s been a few years since we last met, but you’ve grown so tall! Quick, let’s talk inside.”
