To others, it may look like she's whining and moaning about the room she received. But, once you take a look inside, you'll find that her complaint was justifiable.

In fact, it was doubtful if it can be called a room, an empty storehouse was more suited to describe the place. Except for the creaky floorboard, moss infested wall, a ceiling full of spider webs and a dead rat lying in the centre, there was nothing at all. Furthermore, it was too small, perhaps one person can lie down and have a sleep, but two-person will be too cramped, and there's no need to say any more for three.

Yet no matter how much she nagged, there was no way she would get a refund, at least not because the receptionist has stated it multiple times.

The furious Jing Wu Chu tried her best not to get it over her head. She reminded herself that this was only a temporary. Once they get some money, they can move to a much better inn. At least that was the plan until a small brown insect flew and landed on her forehead.

"Kyaaaaaa... Help! c.o.c.kroach!!!"

As Qian Hui took care of the c.o.c.kroach, Jing Wu Chu snapped. "I can't take this anymore! You better find some money before tomorrow night, or I will seriously get back and tell everything."

Usually, Feng Ao Xiu would just wave it off with a bit of persuasion. However, this time Jing Wu Chu's face was seriously mad that he felt it was better to keep his mouth shut and nod along.

"So... What are you doing here?" asked Jing Wu Chu.

"Huh..." Feng Ao Xiu t.i.tled his head in confusion.

"Can't you see there's not enough room for all of us!? Don't be a c.o.c.kroach, get out and find some money!"

"Ehhh!!!"

"That's right!" said Qian Hui. "Second Young Master, I know it's a bit too much to ask, but Wu Chu and I need some time alone. Hehee... It's for that thing you know..."

"You c.o.c.kroach! Who would do it with you!?" said Jing Wu Chu.

"Another c.o.c.kroach? Where? Where?"

"I'm talking about you!" Jing Wu Chu replied. "Anyway, you also need to get out and help the Second Young Master!"

"Ehhh!!!"

Just like that, the two men were kicked out by Jing Wu Chu. No matter how Qian Hui has a high-cultivation level, or how Feng Ao Xiu was the Second Young Master, they could not fight back against Jing Wu Chu.

That's because she has what they don't have, money!

So, with 2 bronze taels on their pocket given by Jing Wu Chu, they set off to the street to find some way to earn money.

* Krruuuukkk... *

Feng Ao Xiu's stomach grumble.

"Second Young Master, you're already hungry?" Qian Hui asked.

Quite the contrary, Qian Hui, who basically rarely eats anything, was not hungry at all. He felt he could survive without eating for another two weeks, although the last time he ate something was about one week ago.

"Look, I'm not a skeleton, unlike you..." said Feng Ao Xiu. "It's a shame to use the money this fast, but I guess we have to buy some food first."

"Food... At this place and at this time?"

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"Second Young Master, I a.s.sumed you never go out and buy by yourself, right. This is already nighttime, and the area around here that opens were a bit expensive. With only two bronze taels, it's impossible to purchase anything. It's also a miracle that we're able to find an inn that cheap."

Feng Ao Xiu ignored Qian Hui, and he went to the nearest food stall.

"Ah! Such a handsome young man." The middle-aged lady tending the stall smiled. "You come at the right time. Today, we're offering a twenty per cent discount for any purchase."

"I see. It must be my lucky day!"

The food stall lady handed Feng Ao Xiu, a sausage on a stick. "That'll be three bronze taels."

"Thank you ve... Wait! Three bronze taels..."

"It's already very cheap, you know. Is there any problem?"

Feng Ao Xiu, "..."

"Hmm... what's wrong?"

"Ah... Second Young Master, there you are!" Qian Hui said as he approached. "Ah... Hi old lady!"

"Qian Hui, is this guy, your friend?" the food stall lady asked.

"He's actually the Second Young Master from the clan that I served, Feng Ao Xiu."

"Your master..." said the food stall lady. "That means you're also Qian Lu's master, right? Then, you also need to pay 30 silver taels for the money that he owed in my stall!"

"What!?" Feng Ao Xiu could not help but gasp. "I have no money..."

"No money... Then how much do you have?"

Feng Ao Xiu coughed a little before replying in a low voice, "Two bronze taels..."

"Two bronze taels!? And you even dare to order a sausage skewer!? Are you really a n.o.ble?"

"Second Young Master, I said it before, but you can't buy any food with only two bronze taels." Qian Hui followed "Lu and I are a regular here and the cheapest one cost three bronze taels. Moreover, this is the cheapest food stall in the area."

Feng Ao Xiu, "I'm sorry..."

However, the apology goes through one ear and out on the other. The food stall lady insisted on Feng Ao Xiu to pay. "Look, it's been a year since that Fatty Lu pay anything. You're his master, and you have to pay 30 silver taels whether you want it or not."

"Ehhh!!!"

"Your clothes... That looks expensive." said the food stall lady while rubbing her chin. "Take it off?"

"My clothes? Do... Don't you know I'm Feng Ao Xiu?"

"Huh... Who cares if you're Feng Ao Xiu or Feng Ao Zhong. I don't know who's that? I want my money back. Take it off!"

"Give it up!" said Qian Hui. "The old lady always stripped Lu naked every time he ate in here."

Just like that, the food stall lady stripped Feng Ao Xiu naked. But, once she confirmed that his clothes were on the expensive side, she gave Feng Ao Xiu old clothes and a sausage skewer as compensation.

"Don't forget to pay for the rest next time!"

"Second Young Master, aren't you glad that you're able to get the sausage skewer?"

"Shut up!" said Feng Ao Xiu.

He could not believe he was humiliated by a stranger he just met, to pay for his subordinate's tab. He really wants to beat Qian Lu the next time he meets him.

Also, now he has to put up with wearing these uncomfortable old clothes that looked like a beggar.

* Krruukkkk... *

However, he could always complain next time. He was too hungry to do anything else. [It's time to eat the sausage skewer]

Feng Ao Xiu's mouth was wide open, he's ready to devour his dinner. However, he suddenly stopped as he saw two guys were approaching.

"Senior Yu Liang?" one of the two guys said.

"Ah... It's you guys..." said Qian Hui. [They're from Silver Hands Owl! It's better to be careful!]

"Senior, is that not the Feng Clan's guard uniform?"

"And, Who is the guy that looked like a beggar beside you?"

[c.r.a.p! They're onto us!]
