Seven people, seven riders, quickly ran towards Rain City. By the time night fell, several young men had already entered Rain City. Since it was quite late, no one noticed anything unusual when the young men entered the inn; they merely assumed a few wealthy young masters had come from outside the city.
Liu Guanfeng and his companions found an inn and booked four rooms. Liu Guanfeng and Li Xiaohan each took one room, while Bao Rui and the other Five Boys shared two rooms.
Liu Guanfeng called over the waiter: "Young man, take this money and buy a few sets of clothes for the lady in the next room. The remaining money is your tip." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng tossed two gold coins to the waiter.
The waiter nodded eagerly, took the gold coins, and hurriedly ran out, fearing that Liu Guanfeng might change his mind.
About an hour later, the waiter returned with four sets of clothes for Li Xiaohan. What pleased Liu Guanfeng even more was that the waiter had even bought undergarments. Although it was somewhat strange for a man to buy women's underwear, it solved an urgent problem.
At this moment, Li Xiaohan had nothing left to wear from inside to outside. If only an outer garment was bought, she would be essentially without anything underneath. It wouldn't do for Li Xiaohan to go out and buy her own undergarments while just wearing an outer coat. With these undergarments, at least she would have something to wear; if they didn't fit, she could always go out herself to buy more.
Seeing how considerate the waiter was, Liu Guanfeng nodded: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. This little bit of money is my reward for you." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng pulled out three silver coins from his pocket and tossed them to the waiter. The waiter accepted the silver coins with a smile, bowing repeatedly:
"Sir, do you have any other instructions? I will take care of it right away."
"Prepare a dinner and bring it to my room. Also prepare another dinner for that room with three people."
"Alright, sir. Please wait a moment; I'll be right back." With that, the waiter turned and left the room.
Liu Guanfeng took the clothes bought by the waiter and went to Li Xiaohan's room, gently knocking on the door: "Who is it?" came Li Xiaohan's voice from inside.
"Xiaohan, it's me. Please open the door."
The door made a sound as it slowly opened. Liu Guanfeng stood outside without entering. He held out the clothes in his hands: "Xiaohan, these are what I just had someone buy. I don't know if they fit; you can try them on first. Later on, we can find another town to buy some that suit you better."
Li Xiaohan stood inside the doorway and noticed that among the clothes Liu Guanfeng had brought, there were some undergarments. Her face immediately turned red. She lowered her head slightly and took the clothes from Liu Guanfeng's hands, saying, "I'm going to take a shower first." Her voice was barely audible.
After speaking, Li Xiaohan retreated into her room and closed the door behind her. Liu Guanfeng also felt embarrassed, so he cleared his throat and said, "Xiaohan, I ordered some food. After you finish washing up, come to my room to eat."
"Okay, I got it," Li Xiaohan replied, and the sound of water began to echo from within the room.
Liu Guanfeng's face flushed; he certainly knew what was happening inside. He quickly ran back to his own room.
After a while, a waiter set a table full of sumptuous dishes in Liu Guanfeng's room. "Sir, your food is ready. Please enjoy."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "You can leave now; I'll call you if I need anything."
The waiter slowly exited the room. After some time, there was a knock on Liu Guanfeng's door. He hurried over and opened it. At that moment, Li Xiaohan had changed into a new outfit, still in a light shade of yellow.
Liu Guanfeng stood at the door, captivated. Although this wasn't the first time he had seen Li Xiaohan, he had never truly looked at her when they were students. One reason was that he didn't want to distract her; another was that he felt shy about staring directly at a girl.
The two stood facing each other at the door for a while until Li Xiaohan lightly coughed to bring Liu Guanfeng back to reality. "Do you want me to just stand here at the door?"
Only then did Liu Guanfeng remember that Li Xiaohan was still standing outside. He reached out and took her hand, pulling her into his room while closing the door behind them.
After shutting the door, Liu Guanfeng didn't immediately lead Li Xiaohan to eat but instead quietly gazed at the girl in front of him.
Li Xiaohan lowered her head and said softly, "Have you looked enough after staring for so long?"
Liu Guanfeng scratched his head with a grin. "Hehe, I could never get enough of looking at you for a lifetime."
Li Xiaohan lightly punched Liu Guanfeng and said, "With that mouth of yours, who knows how many naive girls you could charm in the future."
"Just charming you is already a great fortune for me. It's getting late. We should have dinner now and then go back to rest properly."
Li Xiaohan nodded and went to the table with Liu Guanfeng. Upon seeing the spread of dishes, Li Xiaohan's eyes lit up. Liu Guanfeng knew this was because Li Xiaohan hadn't had a decent meal in a long time.
Li Xiaohan forgot her image as a lady and sat down to eat. Liu Guanfeng smiled as he kept serving food into Li Xiaohan's bowl. By the time Li Xiaohan realized what was happening, more than half of the food on the table had already been devoured.
"Xiaofeng, was my eating manner very unattractive just now?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head with a smile. "Not unattractive at all. I actually enjoy watching you eat. If you're always so restrained around me, it makes me uncomfortable."
Li Xiaohan smiled at Liu Guanfeng and continued eating from her bowl. In this way, the sumptuous meal was completely finished off by their joint efforts. Liu Guanfeng poured another cup of tea for Li Xiaohan.
"Xiaohan, was the food good?" Li Xiaohan nodded.
"Good, then I'll make sure you have delicious food every day from now on. I want to fatten you up nicely."
"Are you treating me like a pig? I don't want to be chubby."
"By the way, Xiaohan, do you know how Platinum Wen is doing now?"
At the mention of Platinum Wen, Li Xiaohan lowered her head and gently shook it. "Platinum Wen is not only doing poorly; on the contrary, he's doing worse than I am."
Liu Guanfeng's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that during his year away from home, the girl who deeply loved him had been living a life of hardship, while his only good friend was living an even worse existence.
"Xiaohan, please explain to me slowly what exactly happened to Platinum Wen?"
Li Xiaohan sighed and shook her head. "After we graduated, Platinum Wen helped his father manage the family hotel. Life was going very well. A few times, he even invited everyone over for dinner. But not long after, someone from the Dong Family approached Platinum Wen's father, wanting to buy their hotel. However, the offer was extremely low, so Platinum Wen's father refused to sell.
But who would have thought that the Dong Family would send a group of thugs to smash up Platinum Wen's hotel in the middle of the night and beat up his father? The waitstaff were also severely beaten, and the next day, all the employees left. Platinum Wen planned to report the Dong Family to the city lord, but unfortunately, the Dong Family's influence was too strong. Not only did the city lord ignore the matter, but he also drove Platinum Wen away.
On his way home, Platinum Wen was ambushed by several thugs who broke his arms and legs without any explanation. When he crawled back home, his parents saw their child in such a state and were so overwhelmed with grief that they both passed away on the spot. That very night, a few masked men came to rob their house completely. By the time I arrived at his home, Platinum Wen had already fainted in front of his parents' bed.
At that time, I had already been kicked out of my own home and had no ability to help him. So I begged the neighbors to carry his parents to your Liu Family's burial grounds so that I could visit their graves regularly."
Liu Guanfeng's veins bulged as he listened to Platinum Wen's ordeal. Knowing that all of this was orchestrated by the Dong Family made him clench his fists even tighter. "You Dong Family! Not only did Dong Ning participate in the assassination attempt against me, but you were also present when my home was raided. Even my best friend Platinum Wen's family was destroyed by your hands. I will take my time to settle this score with you in the future."
"Xiaohan, do you know where Platinum Wen is now?" Liu Guanfeng asked seriously.
"I heard he often appears near the slums in the north of the city," Li Xiaohan replied.
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Xiaohan, you should go back to your room and rest. I need to step out for a bit."
"Where are you going at this late hour?"
"I'm going to look for Platinum Wen. Since you mentioned his situation, I won't be able to sleep peacefully until I find him."
Li Xiaohan nodded. "Just be careful; there are too many people who know you in Rain City. It would be troublesome if someone recognized you."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly. "Don't worry; if I want to leave, I'm confident that no one in Rain City can stop me."
"That's good then; I'll head back to my room and get some sleep." With that, Li Xiaohan walked back to her room.
Liu Guanfeng entered Bao Rui's room after seeing Li Xiaohan leave.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng come in, Bao Rui stood up and asked, "Third Brother, why are you here? Aren't you with Xiaohan in your room?" As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Rui noticed that Liu Guanfeng's expression was not good, so he quickly changed his tone and said, "Third Brother, what happened?"
Liu Guanfeng recounted what Li Xiaohan had said to him and the other Five Boys: "Damn, those little guys who rely on their power. Third Brother, let's take them out." It was clear that Iron Bull was the one speaking.
"Iron Bull, shut your mouth. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge. If we act now, not only will we gain nothing, but it will also easily expose our identities, which would influence our plans in the future. I promise you, Third Brother, when the time is right, I will make those who owe us pay back double."
"Then why did you come here now, Third Brother?" Bao Rui asked, always the more composed one.
"I came to let you know that I'm going out to look for Platinum Wen. If I find him, I will bring him back."
"Third Brother, why don't we go with you? It's easier to handle things with more people," Copper Bull suggested.
Liu Guanfeng shook his head. "I have a rough idea of where Platinum Wen is staying now, so there’s no need for too many people to go. If I go alone, I can keep a lower profile. I'll be back soon; just wait here for me. It would be best to prepare a bed because when Platinum Wen returns, he might need to stay with you all. We’ll leave tomorrow morning."
"Just be careful out there, Third Brother. Don't let the patrolling soldiers recognize you," Bao Rui warned.
"Don't worry; you know my skills well enough," Liu Guanfeng replied with a mysterious smile. The only person here who didn't know Liu Guanfeng's abilities was Du Zhenyang.
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng turned and left Bao Rui's room. He called to his companions Little Black and XP in his room: "Follow me." They exited the inn together.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng leave the room, Du Zhenyang looked worriedly at Bao Rui and said, "Bao Rui, is it really okay to let Third Brother go out alone? He seems like he can't cultivate."
