Chapter 283 Zhan Hongling enters the inn

“It’s really unbelievable!!”

Bai Zhantang said with emotion when he heard the true version.

The old man smiled and then picked up the wine glass and tasted it happily. Zhang Chen sat opposite and helped spread the dishes.

The atmosphere in the scene gradually calmed down. After a while, the old man put down his wine glass with satisfaction, then looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Tell me, what kind of help do you need from me, this old man?"

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he started to talk about Murong Jiu. The old man squinted his eyes slightly and listened to Zhang Chen's narration.

"The Murong family in Jiangnan!"

The old man began to speak in a nostalgic tone again.

This time Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang didn't know what to say. They were both highly skilled in martial arts, and whenever they mentioned it, they were all recalled.

"Ahem, senior, let's~"

Zhang Chen coughed slightly and quickly interrupted the old man's memories.

"Oh~, today's young people are so impatient. The Murong family's kung fu is not easy to modify, otherwise the Murong family would not have been perfected for so long!"

The old man said meaningfully.

"Uh~what do you want?"

Zhang Chen spoke carefully. Of course he knew the difficulty of modifying and perfecting such a magical skill, but when Zhang Chen looked at the old man's smiling eyes, he knew there was something wrong with this.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The old man said something and then motioned to Zhang Chen to take out the things.

Zhang Chen shook his head. Such an expert really likes to play with the world and tease his juniors. Then, Zhang Chen took out the technique from his body and handed it to him.

The old man put away his things, then looked at the two of them and said, "I've had enough wine and food. I wonder if you can give me a guest room to rest."

"Yes, please!"

Bai Zhantang walked over and led the old man to the room on the second floor.

After a while, when Bai Zhantang came back, he saw Zhang Chen standing still, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.

"What are you thinking about, being so serious?"

Bai Zhantang touched Zhang Chen and said.

"nothing."

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Chen shook his head and said.

The old man suddenly sent a message just now, asking about the gossip between him and the Murong family. This frightened Zhang Chen and left him stunned.

Bai Zhantang shrugged upon seeing this, and then looked at the brand new sword manual on the table with pride.

"Now the problem on Xiangyu's side is solved."

Bai Zhantang patted the book and said.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not the time for you to be happy yet!"

Zhang Chen pointed to the door, then answered with a smile.

"What are you doing? Let me be happy for a while first."

Bai Zhantang said dissatisfied that he hadn't noticed Zhang Chen's finger movements yet.

"You'd better look up and see for yourself."

Zhang Chen said something again, causing Bai Zhantang to quickly look up.

"Hmm~~"

Bai Zhantang made a long note. He really didn't expect her to be here.

"Why, you're not welcome?"

Zhan Hongling stood at the door and greeted Bai Zhantang with a smile.

"Where, where."

Bai Zhantang stumbled back and said that he was not afraid of Zhan Hongling. What he was afraid of was other people's jealousy.

"Hey, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Zhang Chen chuckled and planned to sneak out first and then hide aside to watch the show.

"Hey~, brother, help me once!"

When Bai Zhantang heard this, he immediately pulled Zhang Chen tightly in private to prevent Zhang Chen from leaving.

Zhang Chen smiled at Bai Zhantang, then firmly pulled off his hand, and shouted to Li Dazui who was busy in the kitchen: "Brother Dazui, I'll come over and help you."

After saying that, Zhang Chen ran out quickly.

"You unfaithful thing!"

Bai Zhantang said angrily.

The interaction between the two lasted only a short moment. After Zhang Chen left, Bai Zhantang stood up and led Zhan Hongling to sit on the bench.

"Long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Bai Zhantang greeted slightly awkwardly, the last time they met was at a wedding.

"It's true that it's been a while, but I've been having a very bad time lately."

Zhan Hongling looked into Bai Zhantang's eyes, and then replied in a calm tone.

"Uh~"

Bai Zhantang was paused when he heard the words. He always felt that he was having an awkward conversation with Zhan Hongling, but he had to find a topic.

"I'm kidding you! I'm living a very good life now, better than ever before."

Seeing Bai Zhantang's cute expression, Zhan Hongling chuckled and then explained.

"That's good, that's good."

Bai Zhantang said, and then he didn't know what he was talking about. For a while, the atmosphere between the two gradually became silent.

Zhang Chen hid in the back kitchen and watched secretly. Looking at the speechless scene between the two, he shook his head subconsciously. As an outsider, he could feel awkward in the atmosphere between the two.

"Xiaochen, what are you doing?"

After finishing his work, Li Da asked curiously, Zhang Chen's action was very strange.

"Shh! I'm watching a show!"

Zhang Chen quickly stopped Li Dazui from shouting, then pulled him over and explained.

"Hey~, isn't that Zhan Hongling?"

Li Dazui followed Zhang Chen's gaze and spotted the two people in the lobby.

"Why are they together? Lao Bai is already a married woman now."

Big Mouth will go out after finishing speaking.

"Come back, come back! I haven't done anything, so why are you going?"

Let’s take a look at it first, don’t be so hasty!”

Zhang Chen quickly pulled him back.

"Oh well."

Li Dazui thought for a while, then nodded and agreed with Zhang Chen's statement. The two of them lay on the left and right beside the door and continued reading.

Bai Zhantang and Zhan Hongling, who were sitting across the table, broke the silence at the same time.

"You are here this time~"

Bai Zhantang asked first. He had just heard the conversation between Zhang Chen and Li Dazui, and now he wanted to make a quick decision and ask directly.

If Zhan Hongling hadn't come to see him, then he could have avoided this crisis and prevented Tong Xiangyu from becoming jealous.

"I came here specifically to find you this time."

Zhan Hongling sighed.

"ha!!"

Bai Zhantang was really stunned.

"Hahahahaha, I'm just teasing you, Bai Zhantang, I find you are much more interesting now than before!"

Zhan Hongling said with a smile.

However, Bai Zhantang's attention was now focused on the upstairs and the kitchen, and he did not pay much attention to Zhan Hongling's current expression. Seeing that there was no movement upstairs, Bai Zhantang felt relieved.

"It's okay, don't make random jokes, my little heart is so scared by you."

Bai Zhantang replied weakly.

"Humph, who made you look awkward? What's wrong with me coming here? We are still friends. What's wrong with meeting each other."

Zhan Hongling said dissatisfied. She noticed Bai Zhantang's expression as soon as she entered the door. Although the two had never been together in a strict sense, his expression still made Zhan Hongling very angry.

"Uh~"

Bai Zhantang smiled coquettishly. Zhan Hongling's words made him feel guilty. Just now he only thought about his own safety, but ignored Zhan Hongling's own feelings.

Thanks for the support!
