No matter how tired you are, you can raise a long-awaited smile.
"You are Teacher Baicha! It's an honor to meet you. I'm the author of "Shen Qiu Picking up Swords". No... I'm so embarrassed to ask you to call me by a pseudonym after meeting. Your name is I'll be fine in autumn."
Abedo was taken aback for a moment, he was actually not used to dealing with such proactive and enthusiastic people, but fortunately, he had written with him before.
"Then you can call me Abedo too."
"No, no, how can I do it..."
"Why not? Since everyone is Ying's friend, it should be more convenient to call them by their real names... Besides, we used to communicate often before. You are so polite, but I am not used to it."
"..."
If you keep being so polite, you don't know when it will be the head.
Paimeng got annoyed when he heard this, and got between the two of them: "Yes, Xingqiu, don't talk about these... um... red tape?"
It is not easy to use the right words, and you will be rewarded with a jelly bean.
Xia Tian just bought it on the side of the road, and it can be used to tame Paimon.
Throwing it over, Paimeng caught it firmly with his mouth, and then showed it off in a grand manner, not caring at all whether he was suspected of playing tricks.
Then, a jelly bean aroused the glutton.
Paimon is hungry.
Although the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce provides complete board and lodging, how can the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce be allowed to eat that ordinary food?
After finally coming to Inazuma, of course, I will go to the best, most high-end and most luxurious hotel.
Don't know what is the best, most high-end and most luxurious?Just pick the most expensive one.
"Let's go to dinner first! Talk while eating!"
Xingqiu seemed to be in trouble: "Well, this..."
You are obviously so happy to see Abedo, but now you are hesitant to eat, what's wrong?
Ying asked with concern: "What's the matter? Are you too tired? Then do you want to go to rest first..."
Xingqiu shook his head, and replied: "It's okay, let's go eat then! Go to the "Haiwei Kiosk" over there, the seafood there is not bad... You go and wait for me first, I will come after I put the salute. "
"Hmm! Then let's go and order food first!"
Paimeng rushed towards the hotel very aggressively, but saw Xia Tian stay where he was, and turned back after seeing Xing Qiu's back.
"what happened?"
Everyone looked at him, Xia Tian didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I suspect that Xing Qiu didn't get off that boat just now."
"Huh?" Paimon couldn't understand, Ying and Abedo were thoughtful, and probably suspected something.
Xia Tian took a look at Xing Qiu who hadn't come out of the Chamber of Commerce, and explained in detail the loopholes he found from Xing Qiu.
"Before Dao's wife had been locked down, Xingqiu also said that it was him
"There is also Abedo's illustrations. I remember Abedo said that because of the rush of time, your illustrations will be printed as soon as they are sent to Dao's wife... It stands to reason that Xingqiu should not know the content of the illustrations."
"But he explained the illustration details of the latest chapter in great detail... Isn't that strange?"
It's so obvious, Paimon still doesn't understand: "Xiamen, what do you mean?"
Ying summed it up in a way that Pimeng could understand: "I think Xia Tian means that Xingqiu didn't just arrive today, and he has already seen the latest book."
Think about what happened in the warehouse.
"! Are you saying that Xingqiu is a prisoner?"
Paimeng covered his mouth in surprise, and then immediately retorted: "How is that possible? How could Xingqiu be a prisoner? His dream is to be a hero, and he will never do anything against morality!"
Ying hurriedly pulled Paimon down from mid-air and hugged her in her arms so as not to be heard too loudly: "Paimon, don't worry."
Abedo also held the same opinion as Paimeng: "Well... Although it was me and Xingqiu just now
Paimeng couldn't help guessing: "Xingqiu shouldn't be in any danger, was he threatened by someone?"
"You thought you were acting a novel!"
Xia Tian smiled, although he thought that the theft of the books in the warehouse might be related to Xing Qiu, but he never said that Xing Qiu was a bad person.
"Anyway, it's all speculation. Let's have dinner together first! After dinner, maybe I can ask something else."

One more chapter should be over.
Chapter 840
The construction of outlying islands has been stagnant for many years since Inazuma locked up the country. It can be said that there are not many restaurants that can truly be called "absolutely delicious".
Only the "Dried Seafood Pavilion" in front of me is barely a bit high-end.
But it is also for foreigners, locals who vomit after eating seafood, no matter how delicious it is, they are not willing to spend a lot of money to enter.
In any case, Xia Tian and others spent a pleasant dining time together.
"It's really delicious...Inazuma's dishes are mainly fresh seafood, which suits my taste."
Although Xingqiu claims to be a man of the Jianghu, he still has a young master's style when eating, drinking with a cup, eating meat with chopsticks, and wiping his mouth with a paper towel when he's done.
Abedo is more elegant, eating less and lightly, and the plate is always empty, making people even doubt whether he has eaten.
Ying and Paimeng are different, they are both poor and hungry food lovers...
Ying is usually shy, but when she opened her stomach, it was like opening a dimensional pocket, and her appetite was not small at all.
They deliberately sat beside Xia Tian, and let Xia Tian lean forward, helping to cover up the two people's nonsense.
"Hee hee, that's good. We are worried that you will lose your appetite if you haven't slept well."
Pai Meng patted his belly that had grown a few times, and he was almost [-]% full, and he could eat more: "Boss, let's have three more plates of "Seafood Heroes"! "
"Seafood Heroes" has everything, order one and eat a variety of flavors.
Ying's belly is also more than a circle visible to the naked eye. Xia Tian occasionally lowers her head to peek, and can't help but want to poke her with her hands. That gaze is like looking at a pregnant wife.
Ying shyly covered her stomach with her hands and refused to show it.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Xia Tian opened his mouth to test when Xing Qiu was full of wine and food and was about to fall asleep.
"By the way, Xingqiu, we forgot to tell you one thing."
"what's up?"
"Your signing event in a few days may not be held!"
"what happened?"
Xingqiu was startled, the most important thing for him to come to Dao's wife was the signing event, so he was quite nervous.
"The latest volume of "Shen Qiu Picking up Swords" is missing."
Xia Tian deliberately said paragraph by paragraph, just to see Xingqiu's reaction.
Hearing that the latest volume of "Shen Qiu Picking up Swords" was missing, Xing Qiu lost all sleepiness and stood up "Teng": "It's gone? What's going on? Who said it? Is it the editor of Xiaoye Temple?"
This reaction is by no means feigned... Could it be that I guessed wrong?He had nothing to do with the theft of books?
"No, it's the editor-in-chief Pingshan, who said that those books and periodicals disappeared from the warehouse, and they are still under investigation..."
After hearing this, Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, the tension and panic disappeared in an instant.
"From the warehouse... oh, so."
After appreciating such a quick face change, everyone understood.
All eyes surrounded him, and the atmosphere became serious.
Xingqiu could feel this weirdness, and he avoided his eyes with a ghost in his heart, and forced a smile: "What's the matter? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"
He also tried to change the subject by joking: "Don't worry, I'll treat you to this meal, you can eat whatever you want..."
Of course Paimon wouldn't let it go, and immediately bit the two big crabs, but he didn't get dizzy because of the deliciousness.
She asked disappointedly: "Xingqiu, why are you lying?"
Not giving up until the Yellow River, Xingqiu is still hiding it: "Hey, where do you start?"
It is better to go straight to Huanglong than to knock on the sidelines.
Ying took a sip of water, satisfied her stomach, and then asked, "Xingqiu, you actually arrived at Dao's wife before today, right?"
Paimon flew over excitedly with his big belly: "Have you encountered any danger, so you can't tell the truth? Don't be afraid, whether it's Ying or Abedo, they are very powerful! Even in summer, you can't tell the truth." Can help!"
Cough cough--
Xia Tian was almost choked by what he was going to say.
Hey, what does "even if" mean?Did you do it on purpose?I am very strong now!
But since Paimon knew he was useless and couldn't help at all, he didn't care about it.
"No, no, you misunderstood!"
Xingqiu shook his hands again and again. In order to avoid Paimeng's unreasonable speculation, he decided to be frank: "I did come to Dao's wife in advance to deal with some things. Let me think about how to explain it..."
Xia Tian, Ying, and Paimon are all his friends, and Abedo is the painter he admires. If you lie to these people, what morals are there?
But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't say it: "Oh, it's really hard to say..."
Xia Tian tried to guess: "Is it because of the book signing?"
Xing Qiu's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "How do you know everything?"
The term "you" is imprecise, because Paimon obviously didn't know: "What's wrong with signing the book? Is there any difficulty? Could it be that someone threatened Xingqiu not to sign the book?"
Turning to being threatened again, did Paimon read a certain novel recently, there are too many such plots in it?
"Paimeng, no one threatened me, it was..." Xing Qiu hesitated to speak.
Xia Tian did not speak, but conveyed the reason to Paimon with the action of writing on the table.
In Liyue, I know that the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce does not have much ugly handwriting, but I know that there are many with such ugly handwriting.
On the bulletin board of the Moon-Watching Inn, the "calligraphy" left by Xingqiu can be described as a masterpiece, and many people even went to pay their respects and left messages under the copybook.
In a sense, Xingqiu's characters are very famous.
Other people's famous characters pay attention to flying dragons and phoenix dances, while his famous characters pay attention to upside down...
"It's Xingqiu's character! Haha, so it is like this!" Paimon understood, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Hey... Although it's embarrassing to say it, it doesn't matter what you say."
After being pointed out, Xing Qiu also lost his burden and simply explained everything clearly.
"This Rongcai Festival, editor Onodera, without prior notice to me, proposed the idea of releasing the "Author's Signature New Issue".
"...But you also know that I'm not very good at calligraphy, so it's really not suitable for autograph activities."
Not only is he not very good at it, he is simply too bad at it... This is a complaint hidden in the hearts of everyone sitting here.
Xing Qiu shook his head as he spoke, blaming himself.
"Actually, in the final analysis, this matter is still my responsibility."
"A previous event at Yaedo, I asked for the autographs of all the authors who signed the contract for display."
"At that time, I practiced hard for a day, and finally handed over a beautiful signature with both form and spirit."
"Mr. Onodera was misled by my signature."
"Now it seems that handing over your signature in one fell swoop for the sake of face is really a cocoon!"
Everyone understands Xingqiu's troubles, but they still don't understand why they came to Dao's wife in advance to steal the books in the warehouse.
Let Xing Qiu continue to explain.
"Because it's just the name, I have practiced handwriting for many days, and the writing is still passable, but it's too slow... If I sign the book on the spot, I'm afraid it won't work."
"I don't want readers to know that my handwriting is ugly, so I figured out a way."
"I took a boat to Daozu in advance, moved those new publications out of the warehouse, and signed all the books during these days..."
