C20 Very Ordinary Boots

'Run?'

Shen Feixue had never thought about it.

This Immortal Watching Tower was just like the rumors. It was so harmonious that even the three of them could only use their eyes to provoke them.

'Why should we run if we are so safe?'

"Customer, your roast lamb is here."

Qian Songren had sent over 1,000 taels of silver. Other than buying a horse, there was no other expense. It was just enough for the Immortal Watching Tower to spend.

The only pity was that the medicinal herbs on the horse were extorted from Qian Songren. They were gone just like that.

He tore off a piece of lamb leg meat and the fragrance of the grilled meat dispersed the unhappiness in his heart.

The fragrance spread in all directions. It was fine for the others, as they all had their own wine and dishes. However, the three people closest to them had a plate of pitiful peanuts.

The three of them looked at the peanuts on their tables and then looked at the roast lamb on Shen Feixue's table.

This caused the speed at which they secreted saliva to increase.

Shen Feixue saw their envy and smiled indifferently. She brought the lamb leg to her mouth.

To Shen Feixue, this was a great meal.

To the three of them, it was torture.

As time passed, Shen Feixue continued to eat, but the three of them stopped drinking.

They had no money!

If they drank any more, they wouldn't be able to pay the bill.

At this moment, they were suffering. At the beginning, they could at least use the wine to cover their salivating actions. Now that they had no more wine, they could only look at it with their eyes wide open. They had to be careful to not be discovered by others. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

They could only pray in their hearts that Shen Feixue would finish eating quickly and leave the Immortal Watching Tower as soon as possible so that they could finish the mission as soon as possible.

Their prayers were still effective. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Feixue slowly stood up.

"We're leaving!" The three of them's eyes lit up.

However, Shen Feixue's words made their hearts turn even colder.

"Do you have a guest room? Arrange one for me," Shen Feixue said to the waiter.

"The Heaven Grade guest room is on the top floor of the Immortal Watching Tower. It allows you to see the entire Immortal Watching Lake. It's one hundred taels a day."

"Give me one room and let me stay for three days."

"Please come this way, sir."

The waiter led Shen Feixue upstairs, leaving the three of them dumbstruck as they looked at each other.

They were extremely shocked in their hearts. It was not because of the price of the guest room, but because it meant that they had to wait here for three more days.

Furthermore, they had to stay here for three days without leaving. Otherwise, if Shen Feixue left halfway, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

"What should we do?" One of them came back to his senses.

"We can only defend it. It's only three days."

"Then how much do we have to spend in the Immortal Watching Tower for the next three days? Do you have the money?"

"Are you stupid? Go and wait at the door. You guys stay here and watch the door. I'll go get some wine."

There was a written rule in the Immortal Watching Tower that one could not stay in the restaurant for a long time without spending any money. The meaning was very simple. One could treat the Immortal Watching Tower as an ordinary place to eat or a shelter to hide from their enemies. However, one had to pay for it.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

There was also no such thing as a safe harbor!

The three of them made up their minds and used all their money to buy three days of wine. They squatted at the entrance of the Immortal Watching Tower and drank while paying attention to the restaurant.

At first, the three of them were still full of energy, but as time passed, they either laid on the ground or leaned against the pillar at the entrance, looking like a beggar.

Especially when night fell, they drank for an entire day. No matter how good their alcohol tolerance was, it was hard for them not to get tipsy. The gazes that were paying attention to the restaurant also started to become dull, as if they were about to fall asleep at any time.

However, this was only the first day!

The next day, their faces were covered in dirt, and they had dark circles under their eyes. They had become real beggars.

The next morning.

"Get up, it's time to eat lamb legs..." One of them shook his two companions who were in the same state.

"You're awake... You can sleep. Look at how dazed you are. You said that you were waiting for lamb legs... Pui."

"Don't forget, we are looking for the lamb legs to wear green clothes, and we are going to take the green longsword. We are also going to eat the green roasted lamb..." Before he could finish his words, he fell asleep.

After three days of torture, their spirits had already been weakened to the extreme. Looking at the people entering and exiting the restaurant, they all felt like their goal.

Although it was a rotation system, under such circumstances, no one could rest well. Moreover, they had drunk for three days in a row, and they had long broken their own records.

"Okay, I remember now..." The man who had just gotten up nodded weakly and picked up the wine jar beside him and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this moment, he felt someone in front of him.

He wanted to open his eyes and see the person in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see the person in front of him clearly.

"What are you guys doing?"

Hearing the voice, the man ignored his eyes and replied weakly, "Waiting for a sheep... Waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

The man shook his head. In order to avoid saying the word "sheep," he said word by word, "A young man in green clothes is a little handsome. He is holding a green sword and his actions are a little vulgar."

"You just said that the person in front of me is very similar to me." Shen Feixue smiled. She did not expect these three guys to be so persistent. They actually waited here for three days.

When these words came out, the confused guy seemed to have woken up a little. He opened his eyes and looked Shen Feixue up and down.

"Oh, it seems to be you!"

"Of course it's me!" Shen Feixue unsheathed her sword and pressed it against the man's throat. "Why are you guys following me?"

At first, he thought that the man was the thief who came to take revenge. After all, the thief had said something ruthless before he left.

If that was the case, the thief deserved to die. He caused him to lose those medicinal herbs.

But now, these three people ignored their mental breakdown and persistently waited for three days. He felt that this matter might not be that simple.

After being pressed against his vitals by the sword, the man was completely awake. He looked at Shen Feixue in horror and did not know what to say for a moment.

However, his hand secretly moved towards his companion, hoping that his companion would wake up and help him.

"Stop messing around. It's not time to change shifts yet." The person who was touched opened his hand in a daze and continued to sleep.

Damn!

The man cursed in his heart.

"Why are you following me? Do you want something? If you do, tell me and I'll definitely help you." Shen Feixue changed the way she asked.

In Qing City, there were only two people who had contacted her so far. One was the thief and the other was the shopkeeper of the medicine pill store.

"Really?"

"Of course, I always keep my word!"

The man thought for a while and felt that Ling Xiaofeng's instructions were not that big of a deal. At most, it was just a treasure that an ordinary person could use. In the end, he made up his mind and said, "We want the thing under your feet."

Shen Feixue guessed correctly, but her expression did not change. The corner of her mouth was still smiling as she raised a foot. "Then take it."

"Hmm?" The man was puzzled.

Was it really that easy?

However, looking at the soil under Shen Feixue's feet, it was nothing special.

Could it be that Young Master Ling wanted this soil?

After studying it for a while, there was indeed nothing special about it. The boots were very ordinary and could be bought anywhere. The only possibility was...

The only thing left was the soil!

Finally, he carefully reached out his hand and grabbed the soil under the soles of the boots.

Seeing that Shen Feixue did not react, he started to be more daring. He used his clothes to catch the soil, afraid that he would accidentally spilt a little.

The people who were entering and leaving the restaurant all stopped and looked at the strange scene in front of them.

Among them, there were also quite a few people who recognized the beggar-like trio. They were Ling Xiaofeng's subordinates, and they were even more surprised by the scene in front of them.

Ling Xiaofeng was famous for bullying the good and fearing the evil in Qing City. His subordinates were naturally all the same. Today, they were actually carefully cleaning the soles of his shoes for him.

What was going on in this world?

What made them even more surprised was that after cleaning up, the person even thanked the young man in front of him with a smile.

Who was this young man?

Everyone looked over and saw that his face was very strange.

Someone who could enter and exit the Immortal Watching Tower so calmly could be considered someone with some status in Qing Prefecture, but they still couldn't tell who this young man in front of them was.

"Quickly get up. We got it." After scraping off all the soil under Shen Feixue's feet, the person ignored the surprised gazes of the people around him and excitedly pulled his two sleeping companions out.

"Got it? Hahaha, how did we get it?"

"Really?"

The two people who got up were as excited as the person. They carefully protected the person, while the person wrapped the soil in his clothes. The three of them left the Immortal Watching Tower happily.

Shen Feixue smiled. Originally, he was going to exchange for the one thousand Yellow Level Spirit Gathering Pills today, but now it seemed that it might not be as easy as he had imagined.

Then, where should he go to exchange?

Shen Feixue raised her head gloomily and looked at the three large words with golden borders on the Immortal Watching Tower with a blank expression.

However, the blank expression disappeared in an instant!

Immediately, he walked back to the Immortal Watching Tower with large strides.

...

At the same time, in Ling Xiaofeng's medicine pill shop, he stared at the soil in his hand in a daze. He was unable to recover from his daze for a long time.

When he opened his mouth again, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time floated out along with the words, "This is the thing that you have brought back after working hard for three days?"

"Yes, Young Master Ling. Every single piece of it was personally taken by me!"

"Idiot!" Ling Xiaofeng waved the soil out and sprinkled it all over the man's face, "What I want is the thing under his feet!"

"This is what he took under his feet..." The person who was sprinkled felt wronged.

He really couldn't understand why the words of the Young Master Ling in front of him were to take the thing under his feet. Was there anything wrong with him doing it?

Furthermore, it was not harmful to him and he had achieved his goal in a friendly manner. Wasn't it good?

"That's right, Young Master Ling. We..."

"Shut up!" Ling Xiaofeng slapped him backhanded.

"Young Master Ling, if you don't believe me, you can ask around. At the door of the Immortal Watching Tower, many people saw it with their own eyes. We indeed took it from under his feet."

Ling Xiaofeng, who was a little dispirited from the slap just now, was once again enraged. He turned his head and looked at the person who spoke, "What did you say? Many people saw it?"

"That's right, they can all testify …"

Pah pah pah ~

"Trash!"

"Idiot!"

"Bucket!"

Every time Ling Xiaofeng scolded, his palm would land on the faces of the three people.

He also knew that there were a lot of people in Qing City who knew him and his three subordinates.

Now, his subordinates were going to kick the mud off the soles of their feet in front of so many people. How much of a loss of face was this? It was obvious.

Most importantly, if too many people knew about the existence of the Earth Level Spirit Gathering Pill, would Ling Xiaofeng still be able to do it? It was obvious that the possibility was not high.

Even though the three of them had been slapped so hard that they lost a large amount of their drunkenness, they were still unconvinced. They did not know where they had been wrong.

At this moment, Ling Xiaofeng's voice sounded again.

"I don't care what method you use, you must get that guy's boots!"

First, they had to get the thing under their feet, and now they had to get the boots. This … The three of them scratched their ears and scratched their faces, unable to understand the reason.

But the boots were really very ordinary!
