Cheng Youge was shocked and said in disbelief: "That won't work, that won't work."
Yu Xiaolong waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's settled. I have only one request. There is no reason why I can't enter the two rooms without my permission."
Cheng Youge stammered: "Okay... okay, thank you very much. I really met a noble person!"
"I can't talk to you. I'll pay for ten days first. Okay, you can go and do your work." Yu Xiaolong handed over the money.
"Okay, have a rest!" Cheng Youge happily took the money and left.
Yu Xiaolong closed the door, leaned against the window and looked at the lively scene outside. He could not understand how the Zhou family, the most powerful family here, was so arrogant.
He thought about Zhao Dayu and Ren Jianchou again. He didn't know whether they would come back safely or whether they could meet again.
He hung a pendant outside the window. Zhao Dayu had seen this thing before. If he came to Zishui City, he hoped to find it here.
After looking outside for a while, Yu Xiaolong came to the small house in the courtyard behind and found that it had been cleaned and had basic daily necessities such as a table, bed, etc.
It can be seen that Cheng Youge is very thoughtful, maybe it is because the business here is really average.
Jingxin Inn has a total of fifteen rooms, and now including Yu Xiaolong, only three of them have guests.
Moreover, Yu Xiaolong was so generous that he also bought the apartment in the courtyard, so Cheng Youge tried his best to persuade him to stay there for a few more days.
He set up a secret cordon at the door, released a sound mask over the entire room, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
It had been a long time since he had rested. During the days leading to Galiu City, there was no time, no opportunity, and no place for him to calm down.
So he took this opportunity to make preparations, hoping that it would be safe and reliable.
Suddenly, the sound mask seemed to be weakening, and after ten seconds it completely disappeared!
Yu Xiaolong was shocked. It was the first time he encountered such a situation and he had no idea what was going on.
The sound mask is a defensive layer of true energy that can isolate sounds and breath from radiating outward. Except for experts, this is one of the best ways for all practitioners to prevent eavesdropping and detection.
However, even if an expert is attacked, the sound shield will be destroyed directly and disappear, and will not gradually weaken.
Yu Xiaolong stood up in confusion, walked out of the room and looked outside.
There was silence in the courtyard, only the noise from the street outside could be heard, and the presence of other practitioners was not felt here at all.
Why is the sound mask like this?
Abnormality is a monster!
He returned to the room and inspected it carefully. The square room was very simply furnished and there were no mechanisms. Yu Xiaolong tried to release a trace of his true energy again.
Breath floating in the air

After a moment, there was a "whoosh" sound and all of them concentrated in the corner and disappeared.
Shocked, Yu Xiaolong approached the other side and released his breath again, but the result was still the same.
There really is a mechanism!
But what he couldn't figure out was that Cheng Youge clearly said that this place was unused, why was it like this now?
Is the other party hiding something? Or... what kind of conspiracy is this?
Yu Xiaolong took a few steps back and released a large amount of Qi.
As a result, it flashed in the corner and disappeared immediately. Everything happened in a blink of an eye.
That's the entrance to the secret space!
When most practitioners practice, they will find a safe and reliable secret space and hide there to practice secretly.
This entrance is clearly a similar place!
Yu Xiaolong took a few steps back again. He didn't understand why such a secret space was hidden in this place.
Cheng Youge is just an ordinary ghost. Could it be that his family or friends are practitioners?
He wanted to go in and take a look, but reason still defeated his curiosity.
Yu Xiaolong came to the front hall of the inn and saw Cheng Youge clearing the table.
"Boss Cheng, are you busy?" Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Ah~ the guest is here. A table of people just left for dinner. I'm cleaning up." Cheng Youge put down his tools and looked at him with a smile.
"I have nothing to do, let's have a cup of tea." Yu Xiaolong found a table and sat on the bench.
"Okay! Just wait!" Cheng Youge quickly went to make a cup of tea and brought it over.
"Boss Cheng, how many ghosts are there in total here?" Yu Xiaolong asked casually.
"There is a chef and a waiter, and I do everything. It's just the three of us. Our business here is average, so we don't need too many people, haha." Cheng Youge said with a smile.
"Where is your family?" Yu Xiaolong asked again.
"My wife and the children have gone out, there is no one else." Cheng Youge was always smiling, very much like Xie Tianyun.
"Oh... By the way, that house in the yard has always been empty?" Yu Xiaolong got to the point.
"Uh... no, there was someone who lived there before, but he hasn't been here for a long time." Cheng Youge said.
"Oh? What kind of person is he?" Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
"Let me think about it...he is a middle-aged man. He doesn't talk much, but he is a nice person. Sometimes he stays in the house for several days without coming out. I thought he wasn't there, but it turned out that the door was locked. He told me that without his permission,
I couldn't enter the room, so I didn't care." Cheng Youge recalled.
"Oh? How long have you lived there?" Yu Xiaolong then asked.
"I stayed there for...three or four months, right? Then I left without saying goodbye. I didn't owe the rent," Cheng Youge said.
"When did it happen?" Yu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xiaolong asked.
"Three years ago, no one lived there, and it has been empty until now." Cheng Youge said.
"Oh, I understand." Yu Xiaolong nodded slowly.
Back in the room, Yu Xiaolong was thinking.
That person must be a practitioner. Cheng Youge also said that he sometimes does not go out for several days and is not allowed to enter casually. This proves that he practices in this secret space.
Then why does this dimension still exist after he leaves?
Almost all practitioners set up their secret practice space in the place where they live for a long time, or in an extremely remote and secret place, so that they can enter it at any time without being discovered by others.
But like the current situation, if he leaves, the secret space will definitely be cancelled, but it is still here. Why is this?
There can only be two reasons.
First, that person has to come back, so he stays there. But it has been more than three years since he left, and it is impossible for him to still not come after such a long time, unless he encounters an accident.
The second reason is that the secret space was not established by him.
Yu Xiaolong thought about it and couldn't find a suitable reason, and was very depressed.
So now that this is the case, can I go in by myself?
You must know that in every such training space, the owner will set up defensive formations and attack formations.
Others will either be unable to enter, or they will be attacked if they enter.
But seeing a space here, Yu Xiaolong felt itchy again.
He let out a breath of air over there, and sure enough, it was the same, and he was sucked in with a "whoosh" sound.
Yu Xiaolong thought for a long time and decided to take the risk.
He stood in the corner and released his true energy to surround himself.
Suddenly, his vision went dark and he felt dizzy, swaying like noodles and falling limply to the ground.
Soon, he opened his eyes and found himself in darkness, with a smoking volcano in the distance.
Yu Xiaolong was confused. He stood up and found that he was standing on the top of a mountain.
Could this be the secret space? It was completely different from what I imagined.
The secret practice spaces set up by practitioners themselves are very simple and comfortable places, usually gardens, lakes, and places with beautiful mountains and rivers. The purpose is to put themselves in the best state of mind to meditate and practice.
But here is the complete opposite. It's as depressed as hell, and I can't concentrate on practicing at all.
Yu Xiaolong looked around and saw that there were many mountains around, with dry trees scattered everywhere. The crater of the volcano in the distance was burning red, as if it was about to erupt at any time.
Who would practice secretly here? Not even the ghosts in the underworld!
