C3

Zheng Yi had just turned eighteen this year. After leaving the official road, he had completely left the boundaries of the Thief God Sect and began his journey as a disciple of the Thief God Sect.

Originally, he had planned to stay in Qingchuan County for a period of time. Naturally, he wanted to find a job that could support him.

Walking in the city, he saw the inn in front of him, and after pasting a notice that would attract people, he walked in.

Their eyes met, and Zheng Tan's heart tightened. His right leg subconsciously took a small step back, ready to run at any time.

"Alright …" Liu Yuan forcefully held back the words that came out of his mouth. He had intended to curse out loud, but he swallowed those words back down his throat.

Recalling the hidden quest just now, even the small spark of anger that had just lit up in his eyes had turned into a kind and benevolent look. Smiling, he said to the person in front of him, "Good, good."

Only the heavens knew how much effort Liu Yuan had put into this act.

On the way home, he busted the little thief on his donkey, and when he helped the latter up, he was momentarily stolen.

Later on, Ye Zichen thought about it, someone who could have such skills was most likely a disciple of the Thief God Sect.

Due to the fact that the headquarters of the Thief God Sect was mysterious, and the disciples under it lacked the ability to fight head on, they were able to escape the calamity of the 'Burning the Great Hero'.

At that time, he was wondering why this little thief didn't scam people and was sighing that he really was a good person. The more he thought about it, the more Liu Yuan's teeth itched.

The atmosphere in the inn was slightly awkward. Liu Yuan then said, "We are recruiting. Little Brother, please come in and take a seat."

Didn't he recognize me? Zheng Dong thought in his heart as he nodded with a smile. He then walked in and sat across the table from Liu Yuan.

"Little brother, you look familiar." After the two of them sat down, Liu Yuan's words scared Zheng Zhe so much that his butt trembled. He didn't even dare to sit properly as he said, "I see that the shopkeeper looks a little familiar."

Heh, act, continue acting for me. From the moment he entered the door, Liu Yuan had seen the small details of the person before him. He was even more certain that the person before him must have stolen his banknotes.

Liu Yuan, who was putting on an act, was an expert at it. He continued saying, "Are we …"

Halfway through his words, Liu Yuan suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "Ah!" Zheng Tan stood up with his legs stretched out, looking cautiously at the other side.

"I remember." As he spoke, Liu Yuan walked around the long table and took a few steps forward. His eyes were shining as he stared at the person in front of him.

"I want to …" What do you remember? " Zheng Tan found himself stuttering.

"Little brother, are you alright?" Liu Yuan's hands were tightly grasping Zheng Dong's shoulders. With a face full of concern, he said, "Back then, riding a donkey and knocking you over, I've always felt very uneasy in my heart."

"Ah, so it's you?" Zheng said with shock on his face.

Good fellow, you're really acting like that. I've met your match today, Liu Yuan thought in his heart as he tightly held onto the hand of the person in front of him. He's afraid that he'll run away.

Liu Yuan said enthusiastically, "Come, let's have a seat. We'll have a chat together."

"I'm Liu Yuan. I'm 20 years old, I should be a few years older than you. Bro, what's your name?"

"Zheng, something. Brother Liu is indeed two years older than me." Zheng was gently struggling with his right hand and gave up before he could break free.

He thought to himself, 'Could this person be really stupid? He still hasn't found out that the banknotes dropped are still not suspicious of me.'

After that, Liu Yuan tried his best to find out what Zheng Yuan was trying to do. Zheng Yuan tried his best to find out what Zheng Yuan wanted to know.

Just as Liu Yuan expected, this was a perfect match.

"I just happen to be lacking people, you should stay here." Putting aside the silver notes, Liu Yuan had to finish the Hidden Quest first.

"Eh, what is the shopkeeper looking for?" Zheng Tan said after a moment of hesitation.

"What are you good at?"

"I should be able to run quickly. I wonder what kind of work I can do with you, Manager?" Zheng Tan asked.

"You're fast, that's great. My inn just so happens to be short of one, you're the one." Liu Yuan patted Zheng Dong's shoulder.

"500 yuan per month for food and shelter, first do it, then send it out. How about it?" Speaking of serious matters, Liu Yuan had long since let go of his hand and looked at Zheng Dong with a serious expression.

Five hundred gold coins a month was not as low as this amount found throughout the entire Qing Chuan County. Generally speaking, in other inns, it was eight silver coins a month or even one tael.

However, he did not know about these things, and even as a disciple of the Thief God Sect, there was no difference between 5 gold coins and 8 gold coins.

"Alright, I'll do it. Let me see the other employees that you recruited as well." Zheng Tan accepted without hesitation.

"Hur hur." With a smile on his face, Liu Yuan looked at Zheng's stuff. Then, he turned around and took out a white cloth from behind the wooden counter and placed it on Zheng Zi's shoulder. He said earnestly, "Do your job well. You are the first person this shopkeeper has recruited."

"…" Zheng Zhe was speechless. He wanted to run again.

"Don't worry, I'm such a big inn, I'll be able to recruit all of you today." Liu Yuan said casually.

"Yeah, people don't trust each other, so I, Zheng, will not go back on my word." Zheng Tan nodded and said.

[Tsk! A man doesn't believe a word he says. This phrase came from the mouth of a thief. Why does it sound so weird to Liu Yuan?]

Right at that moment, the pendant that fell on his neck trembled. Liu Yuan thought in his heart, it was probably because the mission was completed.

However, just as he was feeling relieved, a very serious question was posed in front of Liu Yuan. Who was going to change the name of the inn?

He didn't feel safe leaving Zheng's things in the shop. He wanted Zheng's things to go and buy some silver for a plaque. What if he just took the silver and ran off with it?

Liu Yuan was anxious to finish this foundational level mission.

Just when Liu Yuan was worrying, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray and white daoist robe walked over from the direction of the main entrance.

A pair of slanted eyebrows, a thin face, and five slender fingers stroked a beard under the chin, giving the appearance of a transcendent being.

The inn was in the middle of a bleak business. Other than outsiders like Zheng Tan, no one would normally visit.

In addition, there were very few people who dressed as Daoists. The reason was that His Majesty had only recently passed through this world, so as to avoid being captured as a remnant of the Dao Sect.

Looking at the person who was walking in front of the door, Liu Yuan slightly frowned. With a scrutinizing gaze, he felt that this person looked a little familiar.

When this person got closer and closer and stood in front of the doorstep, Liu Yuan's face revealed a happy expression. He blurted out, "Third Uncle, you're still alive!"

Third Uncle? Liu Fangming's eyes stared blankly at the man in red robes sitting in front of the long table. Countless questions immediately flew through his mind.

He had not had any business for many days, so Liu Fangming had to do some serious business.

He had recently heard that there was a new shopkeeper in this inn. In addition to the previous incident of the bookkeeper poisoning him, it was likely that this new storekeeper needed him to make some calculations or come up with a name to change his luck.

Who would have thought that the shopkeeper who seemed to be the new shopkeeper would blurt out, "Third Uncle, my darling, this is old Jianghu." Before we even talk about money, he already wanted to get close to me.

Thinking about this, Liu Fangming immediately understood what was going on. He made a Dao technique with one hand and said, "Infinite Blessing to the Supreme, I have been cultivating on Purple Wei Mountain since I was young. I am the seventy-eighth generation disciple of Purple Wei Mountain.

"Will Violet Myrtle Mountain accept you, Third Uncle?" Liu Yuan said in amusement.

Initially, he was still skeptical, but after hearing these words, he was completely sure that the Daoist Priest who boasted so much was his Third Uncle.

Thinking back to when he was young and his father brought him back to his hometown, following behind his Third Uncle for a few years, a knowing smile appeared on Liu Yuan's face.

His Third Uncle could probably use three words to describe him, 'old scoundrel'. If he were to use another word, he would become an old scoundrel.

The thing that Third Uncle was most willing to do was to disguise himself as a saintly man, stroking the bones of his daughter-in-law to see if she was alright.

He had even lost a shoe while running because he was lying on the wall watching the widow take a bath.

Therefore, Liu Yuan's impression was that something would happen to his Third Uncle sooner or later. He would be caught in jail or beaten by angry girls in Qingchuan County.

In his years with Third Uncle, Liu Yuan had learned a lot of deceitful and crafty tricks. When he saw Third Uncle who he had never expected to meet, he still felt a sense of familiarity towards him.

"What are you saying, that Violet Myrtle Mountain …" Third Uncle paused here because the person in front of him insisted on calling him Third Uncle.

"You are …" Little Yuanzi? " Third Uncle asked hesitantly.

"It's me, Third Uncle." Liu Yuan stood up, intending to give Third Uncle a big hug. At the same time, he did not forget to turn his head and say to Zheng Tan, "Give Third Uncle some tea."

After some hard work, the two of them finally confirmed the truth.

Then, Liu Yuan pulled Third Uncle to the long table and sat down, chatting about family matters. Liu Yuan changed the topic and got down to business. He smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I'm going to change my name at the inn.

Third Uncle quickly said seriously, "Little Yuanzi, do you have a good name? If you don't have a good name, Third Uncle will help you make a divination. I guarantee that you will be rich from all sources, rich from all sources, rich from all sources, fortunate from all sources, and rich from all seasons …"

"Hehe, no need. Nephew has already thought of his name." Liu Yuan smiled as he looked at the astonished expression on his Third Uncle's face. He didn't even know what his two Third Uncle's boys were. He said, "My inn is called Number One Under Heaven."

He suddenly felt that the mission on the cabin cabin was correct. As the owner of an inn with ideals and ambitions, this was the name of the inn.

However, after Liu Yuan said this, Third Uncle became dumbfounded. Zheng Shou, who just happened to walk up to Liu Yuan's side, was also dumbfounded. This person was too ostentatious.

"Alright, I've decided. I have a lot of things to do, so I'll have to trouble Third Uncle to run over to the shop and make a plaque for me." Liu Yuanji said as he clasped his hands. He didn't care whether his Third Uncle agreed or not, he took out a silver coin from his sleeve and threw it over to Third Uncle. "Just do the usual."

He thought to himself, Third Uncle really came at the right time.

"This little bit of silver won't do well." Third Uncle mumbled as he grabbed the silver on the table and left.

"What is it?" Liu Yuan asked when he saw Zheng Shou standing beside him.

"That, I don't know where the tea leaves are kept." Zheng Tan felt a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, forget it. Third Uncle is gone." Hearing this, Third Uncle, who had just walked to the doorstep, staggered.

With everything arranged, Liu Yuan's heart was unable to restrain himself. He wanted to see what the reward for the Hidden Quest was. Naturally, he couldn't look at it in front of things.

"You clean up the tables and stools, I'll go up and take a look at the house." Liu Yuan said a few words and quickly walked up the stairs. After closing the door, he impatiently took out his pendant, turned it over and pointed at the task.

As expected, on top of the three daily quests were written: Hidden Quest Completed. Zheng's item has not been completed yet. Completion 8 points. Received reward?

Yes, Liu Yuan lightly tapped it.
