"Who is it?" Shi Feizhe called. "Press 1 if you're a passerby, 2 if you're a passing monster, and 3 if you're some filthy thing here to claim my life!"
It wasn't that he was being dramatic. These past two years, strange things had kept dropping out of the sky while he sat at home!
Sometimes it was two passing monsters fighting.
Sometimes a yellow tornado whipped up, as if someone were battling nearby.
Sometimes someone even knocked on his door in the middle of the night. He'd open it, and there'd be no one there.
He'd close the door, and the knocking would start again. It was downright torturous!
"..." Li Yiyan was taken aback. He didn't know how to press 1, so he said, "We're travelers from the jianghu. Someone is pursuing us, and we beg you to spare us a bowl of hot porridge. We'll repay you with silver! Once we've eaten, we'll be on our way!"
Never mind the promise of silver. That open, straightforward tone alone made Shi Feizhe feel favorably toward him.
There were still good people in the jianghu.
When he'd chatted with the old man, he'd shared his experiences in the jianghu. The old man had only said one thing.
"It's incredible you're still alive!"
The unspoken implication was that someone he knew should have sold him out.
What utter nonsense!
Hua Xiaomei, Mr. Wang, and Fan Jianqiang were all decent people. Sun Moon Radiance Sect was decent too; they'd let him eat and stay there for so long without paying!
Even Thickbrows was decent. He'd advanced him ten taels of gold!
With a creak, Shi Feizhe opened the courtyard gate and saw a senior brother and junior sister supporting each other.
"I'm terribly sorry to knock so late!" Li Yiyan hurriedly
