a minor issue, a minor issue.” Still, Shen Youran’s face bore a smile, and his words were cordial, “When you’re away from home, everyone runs into a tight spot now and then.

I’ll have someone send over the money in a bit to clear up your bill.

Consider last night’s meal on me.”

Before Shen Youran had finished speaking, Huang Donglai interjected, “Er…

actually, the meal isn’t the only issue.” He hesitated for half a second, revealing an embarrassed expression, and continued, “We’ve done some calculations, and there’s still about ten days until Mid-Autumn Festival, plus the Martial Arts gathering itself will last a few days.

All in all, it’s almost half a month.

With the little silver we have on us…

I’m afraid it won’t be enough to stay at the inn for so long.”

Mid-sentence, Sun Yixie chimed in smoothly, “So we were thinking, since Brother Shen’s Justice Sect is right here in Luoyang, and we have this relationship, why not…

just come and stay at Brother Shen’s place for a few days?

It’ll also give us a chance to get closer to you.”

If Sect Leader could speak English, there would be a phrase just perfect for describing his feelings at this moment — What…

the…

fuck?

Hearing Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai’s requests, even someone as composed as Shen Youran couldn’t help but grumble internally, “What kind of relationship do I have with you two?

I only met you once before!

I was just making polite conversation, and you actually take yourselves for my own brothers?

So after all that talk…

not only do you want me to pay off your debts, but you also want to freeload at my Justice Sect?”

But…

he had no choice.

His previous words were too well-spoken.

To refuse now would make him seem both hypocritical and petty.

“Heh…

hehe…” Shen Youran still wore a polite smile, but it was getting a bit stiff, “This matter…

uh…

isn’t too difficult.” He steeled himself and replied, “There are many vacant rooms in my Justice Sect; accommodating two more people isn’t a problem.

It’s just that my daily affairs are quite busy, so I’m afraid I won’t have much time to…

”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Sun Yixie didn’t even let him finish before interrupting, “Brother Shen, you do your thing.

We won’t bother you when you’re busy.

We’ll find our own things to do and won’t feel out of place, don’t worry.”

Shen Youran thought to himself, “Is that so, how shameless can you two be?

Just now you said something about wanting to ‘get closer’ to me, and now suddenly it’s ‘whether the Shen surname is around doesn’t matter as long as there’s food and lodging,’ with that attitude, how could you not feel at ease?”

“Alright…” After a moment, Shen Youran suppressed his frustration, the corners of his mouth twitching as he forced out an ‘alright’ and added, “I’ll instruct someone to arrange…

um…

do you need someone to fetch your luggage from the inn…”

“Oh, we’ve already brought our luggage, just two bundles and a trident, easy to carry, so we brought them along; we’ve also checked out of the inn, so there’s no need to trouble Brother Shen’s men to make a trip.” Huang Donglai spoke the truth.

Before entering the house, they had left their bundles and weapons with the doorkeeper for safekeeping, and now they were in the Justice Sect’s storeroom.

Shen Youran, hearing this, turned green, thinking to himself, did you two plan this all along to swindle me, coming here without any intention of leaving?

But no matter how much he loathed these two now, he couldn’t kick them out, nor could he treat them poorly; after all, their reputation had already spread throughout Luoyang City, and everyone knew that it was Shen Youran himself who had personally gone to Hangzhou to “invite” them…

Today they swaggered through the main gate into his Justice Sect, and undoubtedly many eyes had witnessed it.

If he sent them away or gave them poor hospitality, and they exaggerated the story after leaving, what would that add up to?

Suppressing the newcomers?

Envious of their talent?

Or was it that Shen Youran was too stingy to add two more pairs of chopsticks?

What would the Martial Arts World think of him?

What would they think of the Justice Sect?

Shen Youran now regretted letting the “intelligence” on these two out; he had intended to use them as targets to divert attention so he could work his schemes in secret, but within less than a day of the news spreading, these two had the audacity to settle into the Justice Sect…

And he couldn’t refuse them without digging his own grave.

As he was internally chagrined, something even more unexpected occurred…

“By the way, Brother Shen, I have two more things to tell you,” Sun Yixie quickly started another topic.

“Younger Brother…

feel free to speak.” Temples throbbing, Shen Youran was still maintaining composure on his face, bearing a barely agreeable expression.

“Uh, first, something personal,” Sun Yixie said, pulling out a crumpled, folded piece of paper from his chest, “I’ve got some Internal Cultivation Methods here…

I’d like to ask Brother Shen to take a look and give me some pointers…”
