Chapter 1115: Chapter 1116: Grabbing at Air

In the afternoon, a lady wearing a skirt mounted a horse and left the market, heading south.

And she was clutching a jade flute tightly in her hand.

...

That night, Jianxi stayed at the Junlai Inn.

As she usually stayed at the military camp and didn’t interact much with civilians, she naturally lacked experience in finding lodgings, so she simply chose a place that seemed crowded and lively.

The first floor of the inn was for dining, and the second floor was for accommodations. The dining area was already packed with people, and the eager server, wanting to attract more customers and earn extra money, squeezed Jianxi at a table with three other women before asking her, "Lady, what would you like to eat? Would you like to stay at the inn as well? We just happen to have one last small room available, which would be perfect for a lone lady like yourself to stay in."

Jianxi nodded, "Okay, and I’ll have a bowl of beef noodles, a large one. Take me to my room after I’m done eating."

"Alrighty," the server happily replied.

After the server left, Jianxi turned her attention to the three women at her table and noticed they were all dressed similarly, which suggested they were from some martial arts sect, and there were several swords placed at one end of the table.

The women were indeed disciples of a certain female martial arts sect in Jianghu. They were surprised that Jianxi actually dared to sit down. Usually, ladies would either not dare to sit down when they saw their swords or, if they did sit down, wouldn’t dare to look around so openly.

At this moment, one of the ladies, who had a black mole on her face, spoke up, "Lady, which sect are you from?"

Jianxi replied, "I am not from any sects, why do you ask?"

Another woman with a round face answered Jianxi, "Most of the people staying here are from Jianghu sects, attending the martial arts conference at Green Sword Villa. Aren’t you here to attend the martial arts conference, lady?"

"I’m not here for any martial arts conference; I’m here to find someone," Jianxi said.

The woman with the black mole spoke again, "Then we must have been mistaken. We saw you looking so heroic and thought you were a master from one of the sects."

"No, I’m just staying here temporarily," replied Jianxi with a smile. Having said that, she observed the other people in the inn, noticing that they were all carrying various weapons—swords, hammers, whips. Indeed, it seemed as if they had brought an array of the eighteen different types of classical weapons. There were also some peculiar items that even Jianxi, who had dabbled with weapons since she was young, couldn’t identify.

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to her: Since it was a Jianghu gathering, shouldn’t Long San also be attending? He was, after all, a person of Jianghu around these parts.

When the beef noodles arrived, she ate some and then asked the round-faced woman, "Lady, I’d like to inquire about something. Will the Dragon Fang Gang attend this martial arts conference?"

"Dragon Fang Gang?" The woman with the black mole was immediately surprised, "It seems that you are indeed not from our circle in Jianghu. The Dragon Fang Gang has been honored as the number one gang in martial arts for their services to the empire, haven’t they? Originally, this martial arts conference was supposed to be held at the Dragon Fang Gang’s headquarter, but I heard that the gang leader is busy with internal affairs and did not want to be overly prominent, so it was moved to the Green Sword Villa. Still, even though it was moved, the Dragon Fang Gang will definitely attend."

"Oh? Who from Dragon Fang Gang will attend?" Jianxi asked.

"The gang leader will surely attend, and there will also be various sub-leaders and hall masters, as well as some of the gang’s elders," added the round-faced girl.

"The gang leader is attending?" Jianxi thought to herself, relieved that she had decided to stay here tonight. Otherwise, she would have missed Long San. If she had gone to Ping County, she would have found nothing.
