Chapter 222 Revisiting Yunyin
Seeing that the pig demon could change his expression as easily as turning the pages of a book, Kongming lost his temper, but he was used to it.
If I didn't know this guy was alright and had a good understanding of him, I really wouldn't dare keep him around.
"Look at you, you coward. A toad trying to eat swan meat. Don't embarrass yourself any further," Kongming said irritably, but his expression had softened considerably.
Zhu Bajie rubbed against Kongming pitifully, his face even showing a hint of shyness as he said, "Hehehe... Big brother, please stop teasing me, old pig. You know, I've never tasted meat before, and I couldn't resist!"
"How about I find you a good sow in this city so you can have some meat and stop thinking about other girls all day long!" Kongming said with a slight upturn of his lips and a playful look in his eyes.
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying, brother! I may be greedy and a bit lecherous, but I'm not so desperate as to eat anything!" Pigsy retorted, jumping up and down in anger.
Kongming raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing him: "Oh ho! You actually look down on your own kind? Judging from your usual gluttonous and lazy appearance, you're not much different from those pigs!"
Zhu Bajie was so angry at Kongming's words that he grunted, the fat on his neck jiggling as he loudly retorted, "No matter what, I, Old Pig, have achieved some success in cultivation and can be considered to have a connection with immortals! How could those uncivilized beasts be worthy of my attention? I only like fairies like Miss Liu!"
Kongming's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Zhu Ganglie's ear with a look of exasperation.
"Still thinking about that vixen? I think you're just blinded by greed! Didn't she invite you to a chat at the Cloud Hidden Inn? If you have the guts, go there right now!"
"Ouch! That hurts, brother, be gentle! Fairy Liu didn't actually invite me, Old Pig. She's got her eye on you and Brother Zilong! I, Old Pig, am just a messenger..."
Pigsy bared his teeth and said quickly.
"A messenger? You're the master! I'm just serving you tea and water. Zilong is nothing more than your lackey and bodyguard!"
Kongming released Zhu Ganglie's ears and glanced at him before speaking.
"Hehe...hehe...you keep this!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie chuckled awkwardly twice and hurriedly stuffed the 'Heavenly Number' jade tablet into Kongming's hand.
Now that he understands that Liu Mengli's invitation was not a simple one, Zhu Ganglie, though a pig, is by no means stupid. He should quickly throw away this hot potato.
"Prime Minister, in my opinion, it would be best if we avoided this place. Liu Mengli's background is not simple, and we don't know what kind of trouble she might cause this time. Going to the appointment rashly could be dangerous," Zhao Yun advised, his brows furrowed.
Kongming stroked the "Heavenly" jade tablet in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Being targeted is unavoidable in this Holy City. Since that's the case, let's meet her again. Perhaps there will be some unexpected surprises!"
"What a surprise!" Upon hearing this, Pigsy's eyes lit up, and he brought his big head closer.
Kongming glanced at him and unceremoniously shoved the pig's head that was leaning towards him away...
Before long, the three arrived at the Cloud Hidden Inn.
At this moment, the huge inn was packed with people, and the noise surged in like a tide.
A diverse group of people moved about, a gathering of all walks of life, each with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation on their face.
Kongming frowned slightly. This Cloud Hidden Inn had always been a place frequented by cultivators of high status and position. When did it become so casual? Something was clearly wrong!
He wasn't in a hurry and didn't immediately reveal the 'Heavenly Rank' jade token. Instead, he found a corner seat in the inn's lobby and sat down.
Kongming's gaze swept across the surroundings without making a sound, and he sensed the subtle atmosphere in the hall.
Although the hall was bustling with people and noisy, a closer look revealed that the crowd was roughly divided into three camps.
Within each faction, groups of three or five gathered together and talked in hushed tones. Their clothing styles varied, and there was no uniform attire, indicating that these people were mostly independent cultivators.
Occasionally, someone would glance around, their eyes filled with wariness and scrutiny.
"Prime Minister, this place is a mixed bag. Liu Mengli's invitation to us probably has an ulterior motive!" Zhao Yun, gripping his spear and looking wary, whispered in Kongming's ear.
Kongming nodded slightly, his gaze still sweeping through the crowd...
