"Li Yibai!!!" Just now, that voice that was hard to distinguish between male and female came again. Li Yibai remembered, it was the innkeeper of this inn. "Come out to greet the guests—"
Li Yibai felt embarrassed. It seemed that before wandering the world, he still needed to earn money by receiving guests. Li Yibai headed towards the direction of the voice and said, "I'll be right there."
Then he closed the door, took off the only undergarment on his body, changed into a clean outfit from the bed, and opened the door to receive the guests.
In the lobby, the shopkeeper seemed to be acting like a lackey, pouring tea and water for a man wearing a golden mask and a red robe. The man exuded an aura of "don't mess with me," and Li Yibai had never seen him before. In the previous life, Li Yibai was still sleeping in a tub in the woodshed at this time.
The shopkeeper saw Li Yibai and greeted him while carefully saying to the man, "Sir, this is the person who can write poetry and compose literature here. Please forgive any offense." The man stared at Li Yibai for a while and thought, "He looks fair-skinned. I wonder about his literary talent. If he is talented, I might take him back to be a eunuch for entertainment." Li Yibai, feeling uneasy under the man's gaze, said, "Greetings, sir. Are you requesting a poem?"
The man picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if he had a slight smile on his lips, and said, "Hmm... a request for a poem... can you do it?"
Li Yibai muttered to himself inwardly, "Can I say no?"
Although unwilling in his heart, he was very honest with his words: "Of course, I can." Li Yibai gave the man a big, bright smile.
"I see the wind sweeping the remnants of clouds, and my heart thinks of your radiant face. Delighting the people, envying the red attire, you should be the unparalleled one." Li Yibai thought for a moment, then slowly recited.
This time, the man really smiled, his lips curling up as he said, "Unparalleled? Young master, your evaluation of me is quite high."
Seeing the man smile, Li Yibai thought to himself, "I was just being polite, and you took it seriously..."
Li Yibai's skill of speaking one way in his heart and another way with his mouth is truly exquisite. He said, "The adult is handsome and charming, unparalleled in suitability for the adult."
The man suppressed a smile and said, "You are quite eloquent. Well... my mansion is lacking a personal... civil servant. The salary is seven taels of silver per day. I wonder if the young master is willing in his heart?"
"Willing... willing my foot!" Li Yibai roared in his heart, "Seven taels? Am I only worth this much? It's infuriating!"
Li Yibai reluctantly forced a smile and said, "No need, I am not interested in becoming a civil servant. Thank you for the offer, sir."
At that moment, a eunuch-like person entered the room, cleared his throat, and knelt down to report, "Sir, the Ministry of Justice has reported that the flower thief has been caught."
The man ignored the person and said to Li Yibai, "Since the young master is unwilling, then so be it."
Li Yibai hurriedly changed his tune: "I'm willing, I'm willing, I'm very willing!"
Li Yibai thought to himself: "Even the Dali Temple has to report to him, this person must have some status. Maybe he can avenge A Yuan's past life. Only a fool wouldn't be willing."
The man said to the person kneeling on the ground: "I understand, you may leave."
Immediately, he said to Li Yibai, "Has the situation changed?" The man thought to himself, "He's just a flatterer, a greedy little prince. Quite interesting. I wonder if he would do anything if pushed too far. Hmm." Li Yibai, of course, did not hear what the man was thinking and said, "I was confused just now. Your distinguished and elegant appearance truly amazed me, causing me to speak out of turn. Please don't take offense. I am very willing to serve you."
"Li Yibai?" the man asked, "Is your name Li Yibai?"
"Yes," Li Yibai replied, "My surname is Li, and my given name is Yibai."
"Do you have a courtesy name?"
"The courtesy name is Zhi Mu."
The man, for some unknown reason, laughed and said, "It's actually a good name, but... it sounds like a girl... heh~."
Li Yibai rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"I am surnamed Tang, the seventh in the family. You can call me Tang Qi."
"Tang Qi..." murmured Li Yibai, as if trying to remember this name that wasn't really a name.
"Yeah, I'm here," Tang Qi responded.
