Chapter 487 Walking the Path of Life Again
After listening to the talkative fat man chatter on and on for a long time, Xu Ning had already prepared himself to say goodbye as soon as the man stopped talking.
However, upon suddenly hearing the words "protected by immortals" from his mouth, Xu Ning immediately became more attentive.
People from other countries don't receive any divine protection, so anyone who can utter these four words must be a fellow countryman of Liyue.
"Where did this drunkard come from who said he was protected by immortals?"
Augustus pointed to the magnificent house at the eastern end of the bridge, directly opposite it.
"It's that luxurious inn run by old man Shapur. Every time that drunkard gets too drunk, he says that others are taking advantage of his good fortune, and that others look down on him and ostracize him from coming to Sumeru..."
Xu Ning listened to Augustus's words with his face as calm as possible. "I was just looking for him, but I didn't expect to get news of him from you. Xu Ning thanks you."
Augustus laughed and said, "That's perfect. You just helped me, and I can repay you in kind... I won't keep you any longer. I'll go back to my room to write to Xavier."
Xu Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute to see Augustus off. After taking two photos of Master Gifa on the bridge, he composed himself and headed towards Old Man Shapur's inn.
"Is this guest checking in? If so, please come here to register their name, number of people, reason for stay, and length of stay..."
Xu Ning was greeted by a smiling girl as soon as he reached the entrance of the inn.
"Do we need to register so much? Does that mean we can't stay if we don't register?"
The girl shook her head. "How could that be? It's your choice whether to register or not. Registration is just so that we can provide you with better service..."
Xu Ning made no attempt to hide anything, truthfully stating his name and the reason for his visit, naturally writing that he was selling alcoholic beverages.
"He's just like that drunkard inside. If you see someone talking nonsense in the lobby when you go in, please don't panic. He's just a drunkard."
After registering, Xu Ning turned and walked to the main entrance of the inn.
"Have you ever seen this before? You think I made a six? Ha, what do you know! This gesture marked the beginning of my lifelong good fortune. From then on, good things kept happening to me. I went from being a big guy to a wealthy tycoon. You laugh when I say I'm protected by immortals, but little do you know I'm laughing even louder, hahaha..."
"...They don't know that the entire Chamber of Commerce benefited from my good fortune. If it weren't for me...they were jealous of my business and luck. First, they tried to persuade the Chamber of Commerce to send me to a poor, remote place like Qingce Village. When I refused, they sent me to Xumi to open a market. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to squeeze me out..."
Xu Ning didn't step into the hall; instead, he leaned against the door frame and listened to Da Huang's drunken ramblings inside.
I remember riding in Big Yellow's car to Liyue Harbor, when a Hilichurl blocked our way and made Beidou do some work. The little girl was gesturing with her fingers and haggling with me.
Then I met Ningguang, and I still remember her barefoot, fruit basket on her back.
The little girl who used to pester him for drinks has now become a powerful and influential figure, while the little girl who didn't even have shoes to wear is now a high-ranking official, a figure that many people look up to.
But the big yellow guy who had carried them into the city seemed to be standing still.
"Ultimately, it's a matter of narrow-mindedness."
Xu Ning sighed, stepped through the door, and silently waved to a young man sitting next to Da Huang.
The young man was startled when he saw Xu Ning, and he almost jumped up from his seat.
As a subordinate of Huang Jujia's caravan, how could he not recognize Xu Ning, this big shot?
However, seeing that Xu Ning didn't seem to want him to call Huang Jujia, the young man didn't dare to be presumptuous. Seeing that Huang Jujia was already drunk and slumped on the table, he immediately and quietly walked towards Xu Ning.
"Lord Xu Ning, why...why have you come in person?"
Cold sweat poured down the young man's forehead. Since they disembarked, they had accomplished nothing and spent their days drinking and chatting with Huang the wealthy merchant.
Now that Lord Xu Ning has personally arrived, what should we do?
