Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 186 Undercurrent

   "I think back then, when I first came to Shicheng, I was stuck in the backyard of the mansion all day long, thanks to the few of you who often accompanied me, so that I would not be too lonely."

  The wine has three rounds, and the food has five flavors.

  Ouyang Huanqiao blushed, with drunkenness in her eyes, and said with a silly smile:

   “Thinking about it now, it was fun back then.”

  Ouyang's family lived in Shicheng for generations, but she didn't. Instead, she lived with her mother in the inner gate of Xuantian Union, and didn't come here until her mother died.

   "I'm afraid you don't know." Lei Mei chuckled:

   "The reason why we were able to go in at that time was also because the city lord was lenient. He just deliberately pretended not to know."

   "The city owner is indifferent on the surface, but he really cares about you in his heart."

   "More than that." Qing Ye's voice was cold:

   "I didn't want to go at the time, it was my father who made me go with a whip."

   "You man." Ouyang Huan was speechless, and pointed at the other party:

   "Always such a disappointment."

   "Could it be that you came here today because your father asked you to come?"

  Lei Mei paused.

   "..."

  Qing Ye looked at Lei Mei, raised her wine glass, and her voice was as calm as ever:

   "That's not true."

   "Hee..."

   Lei Mei pursed his lips, and the two women raised their glasses and collided:

   "It seems that I am still more popular than sister Huan."

   "It was originally." Yu Rong pursed her lips and chuckled:

   "When you were young, you were stronger than anyone else. Those boys bullied us, and every time you shot them away."

   "Of course the most popular!"

   "This is not a good reputation, so I haven't been able to say that I am a good husband." Lei Mei shook his head again and again, and the girls laughed one after another.

pity.

  Although the laughter remains the same, the mood is completely different.

  Nowadays, Lei Mei is constantly making things difficult for others, habitually observing words and expressions, and has long lost the leisure and elegance of the past.

  She could see that although the girls treated her as usual on the surface, there were still some differences in reality.

   Ouyang Huan would mention his father's difficulties from time to time, and the difficulty of being a city lord, and then talked about how great it would be if the Tianhu Gang could cooperate.

   I'm afraid it will lay a solid foundation for the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Tianhu Gang in the future.

  Although the topic is not obvious, it makes people have to think so.

  Yu Rong toasted frequently, with an unnatural expression on her face, as if she was trying to please her.

  Qing Ye has a clear and transparent demeanor, and she is the most out-of-the-ordinary among the few people, and her eyes are beginning to be mixed with some other thoughts.

   Not to mention Chen Ying.

  Friends from the past, long ago regarded themselves as subordinates.

   is different!

  Everything is different.

  Maybe she was too naive at the beginning and didn't realize that this was the case, or the difference in status influenced and changed her.

  As always.

  She would never take the anti-alcoholic medicine in advance when she was with her sisters to ensure that she remained calm at all times.

Own,

   also changed!

   Hall.

   Zhou Jia took out a pill and took it, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to practice silently.

  Accompanied by the traction of the Shenhuang Jue method, the majestic medicinal power contained in the elixir poured into the limbs and bones, blending in and strengthening the source power.

  The guards in the field are used to this.

  Everyone knows that Elder Zhou is a martial idiot, addicted to martial arts, no matter how busy he is, he will take the opportunity to practice as long as he has a little time.

   No wonder,

  He has such a cultivation level at a young age.

  But in the eyes of others, practicing like this is simply abusing oneself.

  Even Lei Mei can't see it sometimes, and advises Zhou Jia to learn to enjoy life. There are too many things in this world worth cherishing.

   Regarding this, Zhou Jia just smiled lightly.

  For him, watching his cultivation, strength, and martial arts improve a little bit every day is the greatest enjoyment.

I do not know how long it has been.

   "Shua!"

  Zhou Jia opened his eyes, frowned, and looked towards somewhere outside Qihuju, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and waved back at the same time:

   "Come on!"

   "Elder Zhou!"

  One person rushed over.

   Zhou Jia opened his mouth:

   "Tell Ms. Mei that you need to drink alcohol in moderation, and you have to go out of the city to visit the Taoist priest of Baoshiguan early tomorrow morning, so pay attention to the time."

   "This..." The visitor froze, and said embarrassingly:

   "Elder, upstairs, Miss Mei is having a drink with her friends. Isn't it that we are going like this..., can we wait a little longer?"

   "Huh?" Zhou Jia's complexion sank, and he stood up:

   "I will speak for myself."

   "Elder Zhou!" At this moment, a person came from outside the house, clasping his hands together:

   "I just came here, so why leave in a hurry, Master Xue on the island heard that you are here, so please come over and see me."

   "Uncle Xue." Zhou Jia paused, pondered for a moment, and nodded:

   "Alright, lead the way."

  ...

  Xue Xiao is in his fifties, well maintained, and with his cultivation in the middle stage of Heitie, he looks almost the same as a thirty-year-old woman.

  Especially her temper, which is extremely hot.

   Doesn't look like a weather-beaten old man who is over fifty years old.

   Seeing Zhou Jia push the door in, she just nodded, with a condescending attitude:

"You came."

   "Master Uncle." Zhou Jia clasped his fists and cupped his hands, his eyes swept over several people in the field:

   "Several are here."

   Except for the banquets between acquaintances, most of the gatherings of the upper class are divided into meals. Each person has a table, a meal, and drinks in front of them.

  Each table is served by a dedicated person.

  Here, the same.

  However, the status of those who are feasting today is even more valuable.

  Xue Xiao from Xiaolang Island, Su E from the Su Family, Ren Nantian from the City Lord's Mansion, are all masters of the black iron mid-stage who are well-known in Shicheng.

  Even the people standing behind them are all big names in the city, but now they are only worthy of serving tea here.

  The main seat is a young man in white.

   "Zhou Jia." Xue Xiao stretched out his hand to lead the main seat:

   "This is Mr. Ji Xianji, see you soon."

   Surname Ji?

  Chi Xiaojun's family?

   "Master Ji." Zhou Jia cupped his hands.

  Looking at the other party, his eyes met each other, his eyes shrank subconsciously, his skin and flesh tightened, and a sense of surprise arose in his heart.

  Late stage of Black Iron!

  Ji Gongzi has a fair face and no beard, handsome appearance, and extremely outstanding temperament. He is dressed in white clothes that do not stain the dust, and he has the meaning of being out of the dust.

  The real age is hard to tell, but the aura on the body is like the sea, which is hard to guess.

  Among the people Zhou Jia has met, there are probably only two people on Xiaolang Island who can be stronger than this person, and they are indeed from the Ji family of the military.

  Anyone who speaks has such cultivation.

  Behind him, there are two daughters.

  Even with Zhou Jia's perspective, he had to admit that the two women's appearance, temperament and even figure were far beyond comparison.

  Even Lei Mei and his daughters are far behind.

   Only a woman named Baifeng whom I met before could win by a few points.

   "Zhou Jia."

  Ji Gongzi’s voice was full of masculine magnetism. He looked down and nodded slowly:

   "During this time, your name almost made my ears callus. It's not bad to have such a cultivation level at a young age."

   "A few days ago, we met once."

  He picked up the wine glass and smiled lightly:

   "To be able to kill in front of General Niu, you must have good courage."

  Zhou Jia suddenly realized.

  It turned out that the other party was the mysterious person in that room that day. No wonder he was surrounded by people from all walks of life. This person seemed to be looking for something after staying in Shicheng.

   "Young Master Ji is too famous." Xue Xiao waved his hand:

   "Zhou Jia, a junior, is young and energetic, and he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. As for his cultivation, he is just a beginner in black iron, so what is it?"

  These words,

  For Zhou Jia himself, it can be said that he is modest.

   But Xue Xiao said that his arrogant attitude was too demeaning. The key is that the relationship between the two is not so good.

   Naturally, people don't like it.

   "Heitie, who is about thirty years old, is not bad." Ren Nantian from the City Lord's Mansion stroked his beard and chuckled:

   "After all, this place is not as good as the inner school and the military. At this age, I have not yet entered the tenth rank, let alone the black iron certificate."

   "Yes." Su E nodded:

   "In the eyes of Mr. Ji, Zhou Jia's achievements in black iron at his age can only be regarded as good, but in my opinion, he is already a talent."

   "Not to mention..."

  He looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile:

   "Little brother Zhou has received the personal instruction from the leader of the Thunder Clan, and his purple thunder ax is so good that even General Niu will be amazed."

   "Wuer, you need to learn more!"

  The last sentence was addressed to a young man behind him.

"Yes."

  Su nodded angrily, and bowed to Zhou Jia:

   "If you have time, please consult Elder Zhou more often."

   "It's easy to say, easy to say." Zhou Jia is quite familiar with Su Neng. He used to be a frequent visitor of the gambling house, but he didn't want his strength to reach the tenth rank.

   "Zhou is just lucky, not worthy of praise."

  Speak now:

   "To see Mr. Ji today, Sansheng is lucky, but I still have something to do..."

   "What's the rush?" Xue Xiao frowned:

   "I know you are wandering around with that girl Lei Mei, hmph, a daughter's family, do you really think you can suppress the tens of thousands of Tianhu gang?"

   "Sit down, it's a rare opportunity to meet Mr. Ji, so don't rush back."

  The Yang family supports Lei Mei.

she,

  In the early years, he didn't like Lei Batian, and because of Qiu Bowei's relationship, he was more optimistic about Qiu Yingchen, and he didn't want Zhou Jia to be around Leimei all the time.

"otherwise."

  Zhou Jia said calmly:

   "Uncle Xue is also a woman, but she has an extraordinary bearing and is far superior to a man. Presumably no man dares to be arrogant and domineering in front of you, right?"

   "Haha..." Mr. Ji laughed loudly, seeming to find it quite amusing, and then waved his hand:

   "It's not in a hurry to go back, add another table!"

"Yes."

   Immediately, someone should be there, and put tables, stools, wine and food where Xue Xiao started.

  Zhou Jia had no choice but to sit down with his hands folded.

   "Boom..."

  On the opposite side, Su was pouring wine angrily. Suddenly, the wine glass fell to the ground, which also caused Su E to show displeasure:

   "It's frizzy, what does it look like."

   Then he waved his sleeves:

   "Go out, I don't need you to serve here, I am not happy to see your plain face."

   "Second Uncle." Su angrily bowed his head and cupped his hands in embarrassment:

   "The junior will leave."

"roll!"

  Su E waved his sleeves.

  Zhou Jia sat across from him, watching Su Fu timidly leave, his eyes were thoughtful, and then fell on Xue Xiao, the leader.

   Opened his mouth to speak, wanting to resign.

   "Speaking of which, little brother Zhou is very good at ax and shield skills, but it's really hard for us warriors to keep weapons with us all the time."

  Su E spoke at the right time and interrupted his movements:

   "So, you can't relax your fists and kicks."

   "Why don't we exchange ideas?"

  The eyes of several other people in the field lit up.

liquor,

  Drink more and more.

   sky color,

   is also getting darker.

  Ouyang Huan is careless on weekdays, but he is the one with the worst drinker among them, his eyes are blurry now, and he is smiling foolishly.

"drink!"

   "Keep drinking!"

   "We can continue, but you're afraid it's really not going to happen." Qing Ye shook her head speechlessly, clapped her hands, and called a few maids over:

   "What did your lady say, are you going back home or resting here?"

   "Miss said she wanted to have a drink." The servant girl looked at the drunken Ouyang Huan with a worried expression:

   "If it's too late, I won't go back."

   Lei Mei looked at the sky outside, and shook his head secretly:

   "Forget it, feed her some hangover soup first, rest in a side room, and when I go back, I will pass by the City Lord's Mansion and drop her off."

   "Also."

  The girls nodded.

"Yes."

   The maid should be, stepped forward to help Ouyang Huan who was almost unconscious, and sent him to a side room to rest.

   "Miss Mei."

  Chen Ying, who smelled of alcohol, came up from downstairs and said in a low voice:

   "Elder Zhou was called by Xiaolangdao's seniors, and he hasn't come back yet, but he left a message to tell you to be safe."

   "He's not here." Lei Mei didn't care about what Zhou Jia left behind, his eyes lit up:

   "That's great, finally relaxing."

  In the past few days, although Zhou Jia is by her side and doesn't need to worry about safety issues, she also feels constrained by being stared at all the time.

   Like now.

   When drinking a drink, you must pay attention to the time, lest the other party urge you, it will be difficult to enjoy yourself.

   "You are going to be the leader of the gang, are you still afraid that your subordinates will fail?" Yurong shook her head and helped her fill the wine glass with a smile:

   "It's agreed that if you don't get drunk and don't return today, how can you leave easily."

   "Don't worry, I booked a room here, even if you can't move after drinking, I can still let you sleep soundly and soundly."

   "Forget it!" The potency of sober medicine seems to be no match for good wine, Lei Mei already feels drunk, and even faintly excited:

"drink!"

   "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

  ...

   Side yard.

  Su Nuan took a few people to sit in the courtyard and waited quietly.

   not long.

   "Squeak..."

  The courtyard door was pushed open, and a woman walked in cautiously:

   "Mr. Su."

   "Yes." Su angrily nodded:

   "What does your lady say?"

   "Miss told you to wait for a while, and let you go when there is news." The woman was dressed in a maid's costume, bowed her head and said timidly:

   "Time, not too long."

  Hearing this, Su Angrily showed a smile on his face, even though he often hangs around the flowers, he couldn't help feeling hot when he thought of the upcoming events.

"it is good!"

"I am waiting."
