Chapter 263: Twenty-four

This is an attic courtyard that is larger than the scale of Chunxiang Building.

The willow has a thin waist and a graceful posture.

One by one, women danced on the balcony, or went in and out of the pavilion, or served everyone with tea and water, with light steps, fluttering, and the skirt under the body was like a sea-threaded road, with the pace or opening or closing, blooming one after another flowers on the skirt.

The entire courtyard is almost covered by a large pond. The water inside is clear and clear, and there are many flowers planted in various corners, dotted among them, gently swaying with the occasional breeze blowing on the water surface.

In the middle of the pond is a wooden platform with a low balustrade, and people on it can have an unobstructed view of the whole courtyard.

There are already a lot of tables and chairs on the wooden table, and the soft cushions are placed on the chairs to provide absolute comfort for the guests. The snacks and tea were also prepared in the morning, and the maids stood far away from the pond to avoid suspicion, and waited respectfully in the direction of the platform.

- If the guests need it, just pull the bell on the curtain and they will be ready to be dispatched immediately.

"Oh, speaking of which, this place is not bad. ”

A person on the stage leaned lazily on the seat, glanced around lightly, and said casually.

"Yes, isn't there such a saying, it's called the big hidden in the city. ”

"Even if someone inadvertently breaks in, and sees us, all they can think of isβ€”"

"Mortals who don't know the height of the sky have occupied the best courtyard of the small building here. ”

Someone took over the conversation, and the four words "heaven and earth" were bitten very hard, and the tone of this was really confusing, and before he finished speaking, many people around him burst into laughter.

Although it is rare for people here to meet all year round, they have known each other for a long time.

As soon as the atmosphere relaxed, many people also gossiped about each other.

"I just heard that there was a mess in the painting boat, saying that a fake monk actually mixed in with the immortal cultivators, and after interrogation, he was allowed to leave. ”

"Twenty-four, you old boy is amazing, it's still so funny, playing a boatload of people around. ”

"What's so interesting, little old man, I'm just acting for safety, multiple covers. "The person who is called Twenty-Four is the one who has been tracked down all the way by Liluo.

Although he said this at this moment, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were uncontrollable pride.

"Hmph, what comes out of the poor countryside, can you hide the poor sour smell alive. ”

At this moment, a sentence was thrown out of the crowd like a basin of cold water, which made the lively atmosphere that had just finished the discussion suddenly drop.

The people who had joked about twenty-four before were more or less embarrassed at this time. One by one, they smiled dryly, and deliberately probed around slightly as if they were behind their ears for a while, as if they hadn't heard clearly.

Twenty-four didn't care.

He raised the corners of his eyes, glanced at a certain place, and then let out a soft snort from his nose, and raised his voice, "Twenty-seven, are you jealous of me?"

The crowd fell silent again.

At this moment, seeing that the person on the stage did not say a word, all the people no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, and they all looked at the place where the twenty-four were looking.

It is very conspicuous, the other party is different from Twenty-four, dressed in tattered Taoist robes, and different from other immortal cultivators around him, wearing casual civilian clothes.

Dressed in brocade and satin, with a jade pendant around his waist, both from the hair ornament and the clothes are neatly organized, and then lined with his own cold and arrogant momentum, at a glance, he knows that he is a powerful person who cannot be easily offended in the ordinary.

Moreover, the people who were called twenty-seven sat with him were all in this way, and even their faces were cold, except that when they looked at twenty-four, there was disdain in their eyes that could not be ignored.

"Jealous?" Twenty-Seven scoffed, raising an eyebrow, "Are you joking?"

"Why should I be jealous of you?"

After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Twenty-Four from beginning to end with an obvious scrutiny, and the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth was already self-evident.

But twenty-four was not annoyed, curled his lips, held his beard, and smiled.

"Little Lao'er actually didn't know why the young master of the family was jealous at first. ”

"Although there are no immortal cultivators living in the Yuan Zhou Continent now, Xiao Lao'er privately thinks that the environment is still good. But the young masters of the family always feel that it is a poor and remote place, and they feel that the atmosphere contaminated by the little old man there is inevitably poor and sour, to be honest, the little old man is really wronged. ”

It can be said that there are colleagues all around, and after all these years, twenty-four people don't feel ashamed at all, pretending to frown, singing and sighing, looking full, sighing.

Later, the little old man thought about it and thought about it, and felt that this was the difference that there was no way to go. You, a few young masters, eat and drink well here, but the drudgery that fell on me had to be completed. ”

"There are some misunderstandings among them, but if you think about it carefully, you can still understand one or two. So I won't bother with you about this. ”

"Of course, twenty-seven, you are not poorer than us, and you are a young master, there must be no such prejudice, it must be funny to say these words. ”

He waved his hand in a fake way.

Ning Xu said that big is big, but in the eyes of people with hearts, as long as they get together for important things, in a year or two, everyone can always meet more or less once.

However, Twenty-Four is an outsider in a way, and sometimes, he has not seen him for more than ten years.

Whether it's new or early here, they all thought he was dead, but his number plate still existsβ€”he's still alive and on a mission.

All people can secretly laugh at the lowliness of the place he went to in their hearts, but they will never underestimate him and his rumored companions who have not shown up in Ningxu for decades.

This is the second time they have met in these years, and their gang, whether in this circle or outside the circle in the eyes of the world, some people really dare not offend.

I thought that this time, this twenty-four suddenly matched more than twenty-seven people who were born illustriously, but these twenty-four said a lot, as if they were making peace again.

Everyone was in a hurry for a while, but there were some things that they couldn't make too much trouble about.

So he was about to interject a few words, but Twenty-Four smiled again, made a bunch of folds, and continued.

"So, the little old man has been thinking about it for a long time, how can such a young master be jealous of the little old man?"

His face remained unchanged, and then, the conversation changed.

"It's just because, after so many years, Xiao Lao'er has already gone from a hundred people to twenty-four. ”

"And you've only been twenty-seven. ”
