“Waiter! Where’s the wine? Why hasn’t it been delivered after so long!” A mercenary shouted while banging the table.
“Coming, coming.” The waiter brought the food and wine on both hands while smiling apologetically at them. “Please enjoy the food first. Some of the dishes will be ready soon.”
While the mercenaries were eating, Guan Xilin stepped in from outside the inn and saw Ye Jing who sat among the mercenaries. When he saw that it was really her, his eyes flashed.
He didn’t expect Ye Jing would come here and even fell into the hands of these mercenaries. Seeing the fatigue and anxiety, he thought that she must have suffered a lot.
“Waiter, bring me a pot of wine.” He went in and sat down at a table facing the mercenaries.
The mercenaries looked wary and unconsciously reached out to grab their swords on the table when a dangerous-looking man came in. But, as soon as they saw the bearded man sit down and order a pot of wine without looking in their direction, they gradually relaxed.
On the first floor of the inn, except for the nine men sitting at these two tables, everyone else was seated around the tables. However, because this table was facing the nine men, other mercenaries didn’t dare to sit there, but, unexpectedly, Guan Xilin sat there.
Ye Jing’s eyes showed surprise and excitement when Guan Xilin came in. However, she lowered her eyes and covered them well to prevent several mercenaries nearby from noticing.
Even though Guan Xilin had a big beard or his face covered, from his voice, the light in his eyes, and his build, it’s impossible for her to misidentify him.
At this time, she felt an indescribable ache in her heart. She didn’t expect to meet him here, let alone in such a scene. When she saw him here, her worries were finally quelled.
“Guest, your wine.” A waiter brought the wine. Seeing Guan Xilin sit facing the nine mercenaries, he asked, “Guest, would you like to order food to accompany the wine? Our small restaurant’s speciality…” Before he finished, he was interrupted.
“I’ll pass!” Guan Xilin waved with a frown, signalling him to withdraw.
“Yes, yes. Please enjoy your food, Guest.” The waiter wiped his cold sweat and left in a hurry.
Guan Xilin poured the wine and drank right away. While raising his wine to drink, he took a glance at Ye Jing. He noticed that the mercenaries placed Ye Jing in the middle with almost ironclad custody. If he attacked suddenly, he’s afraid that it would hurt Ye Jing, so he could only wait for the opportunity.
While Guan Xilin was drinking, people opposite him were drinking and laughing. After the mercenaries had had enough to eat and drink, the nine men stood up and said, “We’re going to hand over the goods. Wait here until we’re back!”
“Yes!” The mercenaries all stood up and replied with one voice. After the nine men took the beautiful woman out of the inn, the mercenaries continued to sit while drinking and laughing.
Seeing them leave, Guan Xilin also put the wine cup down, paid the money and followed them with the wine jar in his hand. He didn’t follow behind them at a slow pace but staggered while taking sips from the wine jar. He swayed from side to side like a drunkard that many people kept away from him quickly.
The mercenaries in front also noticed the drunk Guan Xilin behind them.. Seeing that his pace was unstable, they couldn’t help snorting, “So, he’s a drunkard.”
