chapter 17
Xie Zhian fought with the two women who had teased her sister.
The two women were not ordinary; at the moment the sword slashed down, they each dodged to the sides.
After telling her sister to ‘stay with Senior Brother,’ Xie Zhian once again raised her sword and stabbed at one of the women.
The two women from Jiang Yue Tower were extremely in sync, parrying Xie Zhian’s attacks one after the other.
After several exchanges, Xie Zhian gradually started to lose ground.
“Senior Brother Lin, help my sister!” Xie Zhiqiu tugged at Lin Mo’s sleeve, her face full of anxiety as she watched the battle.
“Why don’t you go?” Lin Mo asked in return.
Here is the translation of the novel excerpt:
“I…I’m a bit inconvenient.” Xiao Qi said this, and his face turned red again.
Lin Mo, however, noticed a small detail.
After being teased by the two girls, Xiao Qi’s legs were still tightly crossed, and his hands were tightly grasping the hem of his shirt, pulling it down as if trying to cover something.
Could it be that this girl was about to burst into tears after being teased?
Lin Mo didn’t want to expose the other party’s embarrassment, so he pointed to a figure in the distance.
“What’s wrong, isn’t your sister’s bodyguard here?”
Summer Xiao had wandered off somewhere and had just returned.
Seeing Xiao An fighting with someone, she immediately joined the battle.
“It’s not fair to not call me!”
“This pair of shameless women is teasing my sister!”
Summer Xiao glanced in Xiao Qi’s direction, then looked at the two figures on the other side, who were dressed in dusty clothes, and already had a rough idea in her mind.
However, the two women from Jiang Yue Lou were laughing out loud.
“Is this world really turning upside down?”
They discovered Summer Xiao and Xiao An’s true gender from their exchange with the other party.
But they didn’t dare to take the initiative again.
Both of their vigilant eyes occasionally glanced at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo saw through the two women’s thoughts and shook his head: “Don’t look at me like that, it’s none of my business what women do.”
This matter has nothing to do with him.
He only responsible for ensuring the safety of these group of sisters, but he didn’t plan to help them clean up the mess.
Although Lin Mo said this, the two women from Jiang Yue Lou still didn’t believe it.
“Today is already late, we have to go back to the hotel to receive guests, so we won’t play with you anymore.”
“If you still want to find us, you can come to Jiang Yue Lou to take a look!”
As they said this, the two women had already disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing that his two little sisters still had a desire to chase, Lin Mo walked up and said: “Don’t forget, our purpose for entering the city this time.”
Summer Xiao glared fiercely at Lin Mo: “Is there a big brother like you?”
“Your sister is being teased, and you’re just standing there watching?”
Lin Mo retorted: “They’re all girls, and I don’t think it’s a big deal if they touch hands. Besides, the other party invited Xiao Qi to ‘visit’ anyway, who knows that her sister would suddenly draw a sword and attack? What should I, as a big brother, do?”
Even he didn’t understand why Xiao An’s reaction was so extreme.
You say if the other party were two men, that would be fine, but the other party is a woman.
This crazy guardian of sisters is ridiculous!
“Is that all?”
Summer Lotus looked at Xie Zhiqi with doubt, seeing her now blushing and bowing her head, seemingly admitting guilt without a word.
Her gaze then shifted to Xie Zhian.
Xie Zhian didn’t feel he had done anything wrong. Wiping his sword, he said coldly, “Those who bully my sister shall die.”
Realizing she was indeed in the wrong this time, Summer Lotus simply said, “But after all, we are your junior sisters. Is it wrong for you to favor us?”
“At this time, you remember I’m your senior brother?” Lin Mo laughed, “All along this journey, I haven’t seen you treat me as your senior brother!”
Summer Lotus, left speechless by his retort, turned red-faced and stubbornly turned her head away, playing dead!
Lin Mo was just that kind of person; he treated others exactly how they treated him.
From what he could see, only Qu Ruyan truly regarded him as a senior brother.
Although it was very likely due to her ‘naturally dazed’ nature, at least Qu Ruyan listened to him.
As for Xie Zhiqi, she seemed fearful and appeared to only listen to her sister, Xie Zhian.
It was getting late, and now they needed to find an inn to stay.
After wandering around the grand city of Daliang for a while, Lin Mo and his companions finally found an inn that seemed quite upscale.
Of course, for Lin Mo himself, the type of inn didn’t matter.
After all, he had four pampered junior sisters in his team.
“Eh, guests, are you here to stay or to dine?”
Entering the inn’s lobby, a person dressed as an attendant greeted them with a smile.
From their attire and demeanor, he could tell at a glance that these five guests were not short on money.
“Gurgle!”
Touching her stomach, Qu Ruyan said to Lin Mo, “I’m hungry!”
Lin Mo was stunned, “Hungry again?”
Didn’t she just eat ten buns?
Qu Ruyan nodded her head, “Mhm, I wasn’t full just now.”
The attendant, with keen eyesight, then said, “How about dining first, guests?”
Lin Mo nodded, and the attendant proactively led them to a private room on the second floor.
“You order.”
Lin Mo was close to reaching the Core Formation stage, and the worldly grains, tainted by impurities, could only satisfy hunger. Consuming them would ultimately require cultivation to expel, bringing no benefit to oneself.
On the contrary, his junior sisters, still in the Qi Training phase and just stepping onto the path of immortality, eating was not a problem for them.
After everyone had eaten their fill, the attendant asked, “May I know what kind of room the guests would like? Our inn has Heavenly rooms, Earthly rooms, Human rooms, Modest rooms, Simple rooms, and Dormitories. If the guests wish, I can show you each one.”
To stay, of course, they would choose the rooms of the Heavenly class.
After all, these younger sisters aren’t lacking in funds.
However, the number of rooms needed is a problem.
There’s even a younger brother among us.
Lin Mo inquired about the younger sisters’ preferences.
Xia He said, “I don’t like it too crowded, I want a room to myself.”
Qu Ruyan, still gnawing on her unfinished chicken leg, said, “I’m easygoing!”
But there was a disagreement between the sisters Xie Zhi’an and Xie Zhi’qu.
Xie Zhi’qu insisted on having her own room.
Xie Zhi’an, feeling dejected, said, “Could it be that my sister despises me…”
“I… I didn’t…” Xie Zhi’qu, with her head lowered, whispered, “I just think it would be too cramped for two people in one room…”
The innkeeper, a shrewd man, watched the sisters’ conversation and immediately realized that, apart from Lin Mo, the rest of the ‘young masters’ were women in disguise.
“Please don’t worry, guests. Our inn’s ‘Heavenly’ rooms and beds are quite large, easily accommodating two, even three people without a problem.”
“Moreover, we only have two ‘Heavenly’ rooms left.”
Saying this, the innkeeper winked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo understood the innkeeper’s implication all too well.
This was a cunning man, creating an opportunity for a threesome, with the prospect of a wife included!
Such a considerate innkeeper indeed deserved a reward.
