As he spoke, Qiao Yun patted the storage bag, and after a burst of white light flashed, a small pile of lower grade spirit stones appeared next to Yan Zhu at the front of the car.

Qiao Yun was thinking about how the two guards were going to take away the spirit stones, when he saw a guard take out a small cloth bag from behind him, Qiao Yun thought it was a storage bag or something, but the next moment Qiao Yun was stunned and watched the two guards quickly put pieces of spirit stones into the cloth bag, and the continuous impact sound from the cloth bag made Qiao Yun completely understand that this was just an ordinary cloth bag.

Watching a guard carrying a cloth bag containing fifty spirit stones walking towards the guard pavilion next to the city gate, Qiao Yun sweated profusely, this method of loading spirit stones was really simple and rude. After the other guard left, he took out a light blue jade pendant from his waist and respectfully handed it to Qiao Yun.

After Qiao Yun took the jade pendant, he took a look, and saw that there was a word 'immortal' engraved in the middle of the jade pendant, which was brighter in color and emitted a soft blue light. However, Qiao Yun noticed that this blue light seemed to be consuming some kind of energy in the jade pendant, thinking that after a year, the blue light on this jade pendant would disappear, and if you wanted to enter Liucheng at that time, you would need to buy this kind of jade pendant again.

After handing over the jade pendant, the guard immediately took a step back, signaling that Yan Zhu could leave, and Yan Zhu, who was relieved, hurriedly drove the carriage and quickly drove through the city gate and entered Liucheng.

After entering the city, Qiao Yun really felt the enormity of Liucheng, the main road facing the city gate was extremely open, and the eight carriages running side by side in both directions did not feel crowded, and the roads were lined with buildings of different heights, and the bustling crowd was constantly shuttling back and forth, which was very lively.

Above the main road, there are countless branch roads, large and small, which lead in all directions, leading to every corner of the southern district.

Yan Zhu explained to Qiao Yun the various buildings on both sides of the road while driving, but most of the buildings in the southern district are mainly residences, in addition, there are some inns, taverns, teahouses and other places for people to live and entertain.

Under Qiao Yun's instructions, Yan Zhu stopped at the door of a restaurant called Xiyue Restaurant, and soon the manager of the restaurant came out to take the reins from Yan Zhu's hand and drove the carriage to the backyard of the hotel, while Qiao Yun and Yan Zhu went up to the second floor under the greeting of the shopkeeper.

Sitting down by the window, Qiao Yun saw that Yan Zhu didn't mean to sit down, but stood behind him, and said with a wry smile: "Yan Zhu, sit down and eat with me, you poke behind me like this, I can't eat." ”

Yan Zhu put it off for a long time, but seeing that Qiao Yun insisted on letting him sit down, he didn't dare to insist any longer, so he sat down on the chair opposite Qiao Yun.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, the shopkeeper hurriedly took the menu and poured tea for the two.

Qiao Yun glanced at the menu and found that there were many dishes in it, and the prices were all in silver coins, Qiao Yun had never seen silver coins, but according to the exchange relationship between gold coins and lower grade spirit stones, Qiao Yun estimated that it should be one gold coin for a hundred silver coins.

Qiao Yun ordered seven or eight dishes in succession, and then pushed the menu to Yan Zhu, "Yan Zhu, I don't know if you like to eat what I ordered, you can order a few more." ”

Yan Zhu waved his hand again and again, "Brother Qiao, this is already too much, I won't order it." ”

"Don't, you can order a few more, don't worry, you'll be able to finish it!"

Yan Zhu couldn't resist Qiao Yun, so he ordered another dish, and after the shopkeeper memorized it, he reported the dishes ordered by the two of them again, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned around and went downstairs.

After the shopkeeper left, Qiao Yun saw that Yan Zhu still looked very restrained, and couldn't help laughing: "I said Yan Zhu, am I so terrible? How do you feel that you became cautious as soon as you heard that I was your so-called immortal master? Could it be that you have any prejudice against immortal masters?"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Yan Zhu panicked suddenly, and the whole person was even more cramped.

"Yan Zhu, you can say whatever you want, don't be afraid, I also just came to Chengning Island and want to know about the situation here. I see that you are so afraid of immortal masters, could it be because the immortal masters here often bully mortals?" Qiao Yun asked very gently.

Seeing that Qiao Yun seemed to have to ask about this matter, Yan Zhu hesitated for a moment, and thought about it that Qiao Yun didn't seem to be like those immortal masters in his previous cognition along the way, so he became bold and whispered: "Brother Qiao, actually... I'm not afraid of our immortal masters on Chengning Island, but you foreign immortal masters......"

"Oh?" Qiao Yun was slightly stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

Yan Zhu sighed, as if he had thought of something, his eyes swelled with hatred, and his voice was a little louder, "My father... My father died at the hands of a foreign immortal......"

Qiao Yun's heart was fluttering, but he didn't expect Yan Zhu to be afraid of the immortal master for this reason, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother Qiao, the carriage you took today was originally used by my father to solicit customers, but when my father was negotiating with a foreign immortal master, he didn't want to carry the immortal master because he felt that the price was not suitable, and as a result, because the immortal master felt that he had lost face in front of his friends, he couldn't help but say that he slapped my father to death. ”

"At that time, I was watching from the sidelines, but I couldn't do anything, I instinctively wanted to rush forward, but I was pulled by Aunt Wang, who was also driving on the side, if it wasn't for Aunt Wang to hold me, I'm afraid I would have been buried in her hands. Although Yan Zhu was an immortal master, but the gritted teeth could not hide the incomparable resentment in his heart, Qiao Yun estimated that in Yan Zhu's heart, he had already greeted the eighteen generations of the immortal master's ancestors.

Later, the immortal master was held accountable by the patrol deacon who rushed over, but he didn't do anything about it, but just asked him to compensate twenty lower grade spirit stones. Those twenty spirit stones are only enough to bury my father, and I still have my mother and sister at home, and since then, our family's source of livelihood has been all dependent on me pulling the cart to maintain, fortunately, I can do more when I am young, and other peers have business and let me pull it first, which can barely maintain the family's livelihood. Yan Zhu sighed at the end, and there was an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his words.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of these sad things. Qiao Yun said apologetically.

Yan Zhu shook his head and barely showed a smile, "Brother Qiao, this is not your fault at all, I want to thank you instead!" These are the words that I have always held in my heart, but no one can tell them, in the face of my mother and sister, I can't mention these things, and I don't dare to slander the immortal master at will in the face of others, and only when you keep asking Brother Qiao just now, I dare to say these words. Now that I've said it, I feel so depressed that my heart is no longer so depressed. ”

Qiao Yun was silent, looking at Yan Zhu at this moment, Qiao Yun really couldn't overlap it with the baby face he saw at first sight, Qiao Yun couldn't imagine that Yan Zhu had shouldered so much and borne so much at a young age, but his immature body carried all this without hesitation, although no one confided in, he never complained to others.

At this time, the shopkeeper brought two plates of dishes and sent them up, Qiao Yun stopped the shopkeeper and asked him to serve a jar of good wine, and after the shopkeeper agreed, he hurriedly prepared the wine.

"Do you know how to drink?" Qiao Yun looked at Yan Zhu with a smile.

Yan Zhu shook his head, Qiao Yun smiled and took two pairs of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, and handed Yan Zhu a pair, "It's okay, then let's eat vegetables!"

Yan Zhu nodded and took the chopsticks. Qiao Yun ate a few bites, and saw that Yan Zhu didn't move his chopsticks, and said in some surprise: "What, are these dishes not to taste?"

"No... No, Brother Joe, that... You eat first, and I'll eat it when you're done!" Yan Zhu stumbled.

After hearing this, Qiao Yun put down his chopsticks, looked at Yan Zhu solemnly, and said, "Yan Zhu, since you called me Brother Qiao, then you can treat me as a big brother, and don't have any restraints because of any other identity." If you're like that, you'll look down on me!"

Yan Zhu waved his hand again and again, hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put a few mouthfuls of food in his mouth, Qiao Yun smiled slightly when he saw this, picked up the chopsticks again, and feasted on them.

Qiao Yun has not eaten a serious meal since he ate fourteen dumplings before the wedding, and he has spent a lot of true qi to escape the giant fish, so Qiao Yun has long been a little hungry, and at this time, one dish after another came up, and Qiao Yun ate several bowls of rice one after another.

Yan Zhu stared blankly at the dishes falling in front of Qiao Yun, and thought, could it be that all immortal masters can eat like this? But why didn't he seem to have seen other immortal masters come to the restaurant to eat?

"Good wine!" Qiao Yun finished drinking the wine in the bowl and couldn't help but pour himself another bowl. I have to say that the wine brewed in this restaurant is very mellow and has an excellent taste, and Qiao Yun is not addicted to drinking several bowls in a row.

Looking at Qiao Yun with a look of great enjoyment, coupled with the smell of the fragrance that continued to overflow from the wine jar, Yan Zhu swallowed his saliva and asked with a little hesitation: "Brother Qiao, can I taste this wine?"

"Okay, come, I'll pour it for you!" Qiao Yun was very happy to see that Yan Zhu was interested in tasting this wine, picked up the wine jar, and filled Yan Zhu with a bowl.

Yan Zhu picked up the wine bowl, first licked it lightly with his tongue, only felt a slight spicy feeling on his tongue, and did not taste anything, so he drank it directly.

After taking this sip of wine, Yan Zhu only felt a warm current flowing down his throat into his abdomen, and the feeling was warm, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.

"Good wine!" Yan Zhu learned from Qiao Yun to praise, and then, Gu Dong actually raised his neck and drank the entire bowl of wine.

Looking at Yan Zhu, who wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and looked unfinished, Qiao Yun couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling that such a Yan Zhu looked like a teenager.

Picking up the wine jar and pouring another bowl for Yanzhu, Qiao Yun smiled and said: "Drink slowly, although this wine is sweet, but you can't drink it too quickly!
