"Okay, I found out you don't drink. ”

Since Xu Xingkong agreed to accept He Yan to become the periphery of Yushan Yuzhai, He Yan's restraint and gains and losses in front of Xu Xingkong have gradually disappeared, and he dares to gossip with Xu Xingkong, of course, gossiping itself is also a conversation skill, which can shorten the distance between the two sides of the conversation.

Xu Xingkong glanced at the juice in his hand, and smiled meaningfully:

"As a serious cultivator, it's best not to drink alcohol, drinking alcohol will not only affect the speed of physical reactions, but worse, it will affect the perception and judgment of the primordial spirit, if you happen to encounter a battle, these slight judgment errors are enough to kill you. Even in normal times, a practitioner spends most of his time in a state of meditation except for sleeping, and alcohol will interfere with the normal progress of his practice, so it is best not to touch other foods and drinks that affect the spirit like alcohol. ”

He Yan looked at the wine glass in her hand, and hurriedly put it on the table as if it had suddenly become hot.

However, He Yan soon adjusted her panicked mentality, and retorted with a hint of disberence:

"But I see that many seniors also drink?"

Xu Xingkong glanced at her and said:

Although cultivators are all people with a firm heart, in the face of tremendous pressure and setbacks for a long time, there will always be people who give up halfway, and you plan to follow these people's example to live and steal peace?"

"Can you still do this? Doesn't it mean that every cultivator has to bear the responsibility of fighting?"

"Hehe, there is such a saying, I have also served on the front line, but there are always some exceptions, cultivators are also human beings, and they can't escape the level of human relationships. ”

"Cut! I thought..."

After saying half a sentence, He Yan realized that she was a little excessive, and quickly swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back, and secretly looked at Xu Xingkong carelessly, but Xu Xingkong smiled and continued:

"You still think that the cultivation circle is full of worldly masters, and they don't eat the fireworks of the world, right? In fact, they are just a group of people whose strength is much higher than that of ordinary people, and besides, what we pursue is different from ordinary people, and that's it. ”

He Yan thought about it, but she didn't have the feeling of contempt just now, and nodded seriously:

"Understood. So now we're waiting for them to settle things out there?"

Xu Xingkong looked around and saw that the organizer had already begun to send the guests away, and as for the missing He Yan, he did not attract the attention of all parties, except for Sister Liu, who stood aside and looked a little sluggish and inexplicable.

Sister Liu actually felt a little trance, maybe she drank too much for a long time, maybe she was tired, anyway, she always felt that her thinking had become very slow, like she was stuck in a quagmire, and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm, although her eyes saw and her ears heard, but when one thought was not finished, she was washed away by another thought, and in the end she didn't understand anything, and she didn't make any decisions.

Just watching the lively scene gradually become cold, the dinner party that was crowded not long ago was already empty in a blink of an eye, as if he had been abandoned, no! What about He Yan! How could it be ignored by everyone?

Sister Liu turned around suddenly, but saw He Yan talking happily with Xu Xingkong, and didn't care at all about the guests who were gradually dispersing around her.

"Xiao Yan, don't we have to send off guests?"

He Yan turned her head to look at Sister Liu, glanced at Xu Xingkong again, shook her head and said:

"No, seriously, we are also guests, they are the hosts. ”

He Yan pointed with her chin at the director and the distributor who were smiling at the door, Sister Liu was entangled for a second, and even nodded in agreement.

"Shall we go back to the hotel, then?"

He Yan looked at Xu Xingkong, shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, we'll listen to Elder Xu's arrangement. ”

Xu Xingkong glanced at the door, nodded to the man at the other door, and whispered to He Yan:

"Let's go sit inside for a while. ”

After speaking, he took He Yan and Sister Liu out of the side door and left the banquet hall, and under the guidance of a strange man, they went to a lounge, which was not small, with a circle of seats and coffee tables on the side, and when Xu Xingkong and the three of them sat down, a waiter soon brought tea.

After the waiter went out, the man said to Xu Xingkong very politely:

"Elder Xu, please rest here for a while, I won't disturb the three of you. ”

After speaking, the man bowed slightly and bowed and withdrew, and there were only three Xu Xingkong left in the room, Sister Liu felt a little sleepy after taking a sip of tea, and involuntarily tilted her body to find a comfortable position on the big chair, wanting to squint, and then lost consciousness.

He Yan looked at Sister Liu with some heartache and sighed quietly.

Xu Xingkong smiled and didn't make a sound, in fact, it was indeed Xu Xingkong who did Xu Xingkong when she fell asleep, but this is very good for Sister Liu, not to mention letting her avoid getting involved in some unnecessary trouble, but letting her sleep well is very good for Sister Liu's tired body.

He Yan shook her head gently, shook off the careful thoughts in her heart, and glanced at the closed door:

"Elder Xu, is there really a fight outside? Didn't you say that the Bai family and the broken knife would be very powerful?"

When there are no outsiders, He Yan doesn't dare to call Xu Xingkong's name, not because he is afraid, but because of his identity, as a new peripheral person, it is disrespectful to call the elder's name, if this is heard by the people in the same sect, it will not be able to say it, you must know that the cultivation circle pays the most attention to hierarchical relationships.

Xu Xingkong smiled strangely and said:

"There are many ways to make trouble, sometimes it will make you very helpless, as the maintainer of urban order, the Bai family and the Broken Knife Society will always be tied to their hands and feet by a lot of things. ”

He Yan thought for a while and suddenly said:

"I see, they just have to control the proportions. ”

"Well, yes, they are just making trouble, but if many people make trouble at the same time, it will consume a lot of the resources of the people who maintain order, and their purpose is very simple, that is, to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

"Turning the tiger away from the mountain? Their target is always me?"

He Yan said with some tears and laughter, Xu Xingkong nodded, and replied with some urgency:

"Didn't Xiaotong tell you? Your price on the black market is not low, and someone anonymously paid for your life. ”

He Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"Xiaotong really didn't tell me, maybe she didn't know. ”

"Of course she knows, maybe she's afraid you'll be frightened and won't dare tell you. ”

He Yan smiled bitterly:

"It doesn't have to be, but is it really necessary for them to do it, and aren't they worried about your retaliation?"

Xu Xingkong glanced at He Yan deeply and said:

"How do you know I'm going to get revenge on them?"

He Yan was stunned:

"It's... Indeed, maybe I'm thinking too much. ”

Xu Xingkong smiled strangely and said:

"Maybe they think the same way, at least, they are not sure that I will retaliate, and they are not sure how far I will retaliate, so they need to test my bottom line, I remember telling you, once you die, this pool of water will be even more muddy, so that they can easily get their hands on it, in the face of interests, they dare to take risks. ”

He Yan looked at Xu Xingkong in confusion, not that he didn't understand what Xu Xingkong said, but he was a little confused about Xu Xingkong's attitude, and he didn't know how heavy his life and death were in his heart, perhaps, his life and death were just a matter of his face.

Xu Xingkong glanced at He Yan, who was a little self-suffering, and continued:

"You don't have to doubt me, since you are a disciple of Yushan Yuzhai, then I have the obligation to protect you, so anyone who harms and attempts to harm you is the enemy of Yushan Yuzhai, and we have only one attitude towards the enemy, and that is to destroy them mentally and physically. ”

He Yan had to admit that she was moved in her heart, but...

"However, wasn't that companion of the Xuanyi Daoist a guest in Yushan Yuzhai?"

"They are opponents, not enemies, they want benefits, not your life, only those who use your life for profit, and those who simply want you to die, are our enemies, remember, in the future, we must distinguish who is the enemy, this is very important. ”

He Yan nodded as if she didn't understand, to be honest, she didn't know who her enemy was until now, in the final analysis, she could only rely on Xu Xingkong and Yushan Yuzhai at the moment, perhaps, this is the real reason why He Yan chose to join Yushan Yuzhai.

"So, they're still going to come here, otherwise why bother to do anything to divert the tiger from the mountain?"

"Yes, you can think of everyone else, the Bai family and the Broken Knife Society can also think of it, so what do you think they will do?"

He Yan frowned seriously and thought about it, but finally shook her head helplessly:

"Sorry, I can't think of that. ”

Xu Xingkong did not accuse He Yan, but smiled and said:

"That's right, you still have too little information and no experience, and now I'll tell you that the best way is to use the needle that has been buried a long time ago!"

"Needle, you mean a spy?!!"

Xu Xingkong smiled and nodded:

"Yes, it's a spy, and you've seen it before. ”

He Yan was taken aback:

"I've seen it?!!... Could it be the same guy just now? But he... Then why did you let him go?"

Xu Xingkong sneered:

"Let him go, he may be dead at this moment, no, it's just gone, so that the Bai family and the Broken Knife Society won't be able to find us. ”

"Can't find it, but aren't we still in the hotel, just open the door..."

"Hehe... You are too naïve, this is no longer a room in the hotel, just now someone set up a clever magic circle here, and moved us to a place that has been prepared a long time ago, and now when we open the door, we can't see the familiar Bai family and the people of the Broken Knife Society, we can only see our enemies! The tiger they want to transfer is neither the Bai family nor the Broken Knife Society, but us. ”

Xu Xingkong's tone became lighter and weaker, but the murderous aura became stronger and stronger, even if this murderous aura was not directed at He Yan, He Yan also felt that her blood seemed to be frozen, her teeth chattered and she couldn't even speak, but she was really not afraid, inexplicably, she didn't feel scared at all.
