Chapter 15: The sorrow of the Xu family
In the early morning, a round of golden sun is embedded in the blue sky, a white cloud is like a lone sail on the blue sea floating in the clear sky, the sunlight is transmitted from the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground is full of large and small sparkling spots.
"Ah~"
With a long sigh of relief, Xu Yichen, who had finished his cultivation state, pushed open the door and came out, looking up at the sunny weather outside, and his mood was unconsciously happy
Looking at the food that Sister Qingying brought on the table yesterday evening, Xu Yichen smiled, and then took a step to find her in a house in the east courtyard
"Oh, you got up so early, and I was about to come and see you."
As soon as he didn't go far in the direction of the East Courtyard, Yichen saw Xu Qingying from a distance, who was also walking towards his side of the house with a smile on his face
"Then our sister and brother are really smart, I promised you to invite you to the largest restaurant in Tianxiang City to invite you to eat, didn't you come to find you early in the morning" Xu Yichen said with a smile
"Yes, yes, then let's go quickly, we can play a little more if we go early," Qing Ying pursed her lips and smiled happily
......
The winding deep streets and long alleys are scattered with faint fireworks, and occasionally pedestrians walk leisurely, and the green tile wooden buildings on both sides are closely nestled, as if telling the wealth and prosperity of Tianxiang City, a small ancient city. Walking slowly through this alley, the streets are lined with small shops and a dazzling array of goods, and the shouts and shouts are endless
"I said Yichen, you are really a little clever ghost, you actually know that if you are injured after preparing the medicine in advance, you can get treatment quickly, but the effect of this medicine feels too fast," Qingying said softly while playing with a string of shiny beads
"Uh...... Thank you Sister Qingying for the compliment."
Xu Yichen smiled a little embarrassedly, after all, he was afraid of revealing his stuffing so he thought of an excuse to perfunctory it
"But why do I always feel that something seems to be wrong with you in the past two days?" Qing Ying put down the beads in her hand and turned her head to look at Xu Yichen suspiciously
"How could it be wrong, I've always been me hahahaha, you see my movements and habits are still exactly the same as before...... By the way, I forgot to ask after I had so much fun just now, what is he doing, father?" Xu Yichen quickly changed the topic and asked
"Oh, he went out very early today, he should have gone to find out the relevant information about the Lingwu Sect," Qing Ying replied with dispel her doubts
"Lingwumen?strange, it stands to reason that the matter of me defeating Wu Fei should be in the past?, why does my father attach so much importance to it?" Xu Yichen wondered
"You should be aware that there have been some small riots and looting in the markets and shops of our family recently. Each time, they quickly fled before the guards arrived. Then my father sent a guard to guard the place, but this guard team was suddenly attacked in the middle of the night while patrolling, and all of them were killed, and it has not been found out who did it until now. Pedestrians passing by did not dare to buy anything from us for fear of endangering their lives, so our Xu family's economy began to decline all the way. Last night, my father mentioned this trouble when he was drinking with Patriarch Ye, and it was surprising that the other two families were also suffering from a rapid economic downturn. Hearing Patriarch Ye Feng say that there seems to be a Lingwu Sect disciple participating in this," Qing Ying said
"Well, it seems that it is indeed necessary to check the force called Lingwumen," Xu Yichen replied after thinking for a while
"However, there is a very bizarre phenomenon, do you think it's strange?"
"Huh, what phenomenon?"
"As the Xiao family among the four major families in Tianxiang City, their market has not been rioted and smashed at all, on the contrary, the economy of the Xiao family during this period of time has been several times more than usual, and the customers of the other three families have all begun to buy things from their market, if it continues like this, sooner or later the wealth of the Xiao family can exceed the sum of all the properties of the other three families."
"What do you mean?" asked Xu Yichen with a look of astonishment
"I hope it's not what I thought it would, but anything can happen in this world, so ...... Alas, just because I didn't say these words" After a moment of silence, Qing Ying looked worried, and finally gave up saying the words that she wanted to say and stopped
"Well, I hope it's not what you imagined, Sister Qingying, otherwise...... If the three major families join forces to suppress it, there will be a big mess in Tianxiang City," Xu Yichen said with a sigh
"Okay, okay, blame me for talking about these unhappy things, it's hard to come out, you should have fun playing, sorrow and trouble, now throw them all away, and think about it later. You promised to give me something to eat."
A smile appeared on Qing Ying's face, and she took Xu Yichen's right hand and ran towards the tallest building in the distance, the Juke Building
"Hey, hey, you're slowing down...... I...... I'm ...... The speed can't keep up with this fast...... Whew"
Xu Yichen, who was suddenly pulled by his right hand and had not yet come back to his senses, was pulled by Qing Ying with a confused face, and his originally static body had not yet adapted to this sudden acceleration, and he almost fell on the road several times......
......
"Shopkeeper, come here" As soon as the butt sat on the stool, Xu Yichen beckoned to the junior in the restaurant to come and order
"It's here~ The two guest officers came from afar to make the small shop shine, what do you need?" asked the shopkeeper with a flattering smile
"Sister Qingying, what do you want to eat, I'm in for a treat today," Xu Yichen patted his chest and said with a smile
"Really! Then you're welcome~ Xiao Er, I want a braised lion's head, steamed fish in sauce, and a plate of grilled chicken wings...... Oh yes, there's also a dish of braised prawns in oil," Qingying's eyes were shining, and her round little mouth kept reporting the name of the dish, for a qualified foodie, food is really more important than anything else
Hearing Qing Ying, who was sitting next to her, constantly reporting the name of the dish, Xu Yichen wanted to cry and looked at her without tears. Silver tickets~ It seems that countless silver tickets are flowing out of his pocket in front of Xu Yichen's eyes, which is the pocket money he has saved for several years, ah, ah, ah, he is angry, but he still has to keep smiling. Summing up the lesson, don't just agree to invite a foodie to dinner if you have nothing to do in the future. Because, the devil knows how big their appetite is......
......
"Hiccup~ I'm full, today is the most I have eaten" Walking out of the restaurant, Qingying looked at Xu Yichen with a smile and said
"Yes, yes, the two of us ordered twelve dishes, it's strange that the portion of ten people is not full, Sister Qingying, you don't look ladylike at all when you eat," Xu Yichen said with a wry smile
"Ladies also depend on when, when you eat, you should be full," Qingying laughed
"Well, I can't talk about you in terms of eloquence."
"Hmph, it's good to know"
"Wow, you really are, not humble at all"
......
"Help, help!
"Run, it's important to escape"
The two people who were arguing with each other heard the distant cries for help and chaos and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see the small traders who were setting up stalls hurriedly pushing carts and fleeing in all directions, and the noise kept ringing
In his eyes, his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the riot in the distance, and Xu Yichen's eyes were slightly distracted: "That is the area to which the Xu family belongs, and that is the market of our Xu family!"
"Yichen, let's hurry over and see who is making trouble on our Xu family's territory" Qing Ying's face became solemn, and her light steps quickly rushed towards the direction of the riot
"Damn, I'm tired of daring to do evil on my turf."
Xu Yichen blurted out a dirty word, and then his figure followed Qingying closely and ran towards the Xu family market
A conflict is about to break out!
