Chapter 11: Undercurrents
Su Chen returned to the restaurant and found that Su Rongrong had already fallen asleep, Su Chen was lying on his bed thinking about everything that happened today, the children of the family at tonight's banquet were by no means the second-rate sons rumored outside, at least Blu-ray, Zhang Wu, Bai Sheng, Zhou Wuji, Zhao Siyue, Liu Xian'er were not, the forces of February City were not like the rumored city lord faction and the general faction, this private undercurrent was intertwined. Sure enough, as Mr. Cang said, no matter how unworthy the cultivated children of the family are, they will not be an impulsive and incompetent waste, Su Chen thought of this and sat up, even if Bai Sheng was annoyed by his behavior, he would not do such a shameless thing, Bai Sheng was gambling, gambling on his cultivation, if he didn't catch that sword, it could only be his own arrogance, and his skills were not as good as others. If he catches it himself, and also suppresses him, then his behavior will not only not embarrass the Bai family, but has a long face, and moves out of the Bai family's face on the table, as a small four-mirror He still swords in the face of a strong man who may be in the middle and third mirrors, not only is he not ashamed, but he proves his Dao heart to the family, and he will not give up because the other party is stronger than himself, even if he loses his life. What's more, this is just a competition, just a competition for fun, and there is nothing to talk about at all.
"Bastard, this dinner party has been his game of victory from the beginning, and he is the winner of this competition whether he wins or loses, and sure enough, as Mr. Wen said, they are not wasteful at all, these are their disguises" Su Chen clenched his fists and roared.
At this time, an old man and a middle-aged man from the Bai family stood in front of Bai Sheng's bed, and Bai Sheng had fallen asleep at this time.
"Dad, I have investigated this person's name is Su Chen, and there is also a woman who practices qi with him, the name is unknown, I only know that she is called Rong Rong, probably a maid, where is it from and the background behind it has not been found, it can be determined that it is not a person from the nineteen cities around here" Bai Wu stood behind the old man and said, this old man is Bai Zhao, the city lord of February City, the strongest Yuan Ying in the twenty cities and even February City, Bai Zhao nodded and said "This kid can" and disappeared in place, and the fate of Bai Sheng began to change.
At the same time, there was a small discussion in the major families about this time tonight, Su Chen conservatively estimated that he was the Tianjiao of the Yuan Infant Realm, a powerful family from afar, and Bai Sheng tonight, hehe is indeed a talent. The undercurrent of this February City is surging, all because of Su Chen's arrival, tonight's banquet is a fuse, and Su Chen is the flame that ignites this fuse.
The Lan family, at this time, Blu-ray knelt in front of Lan Feng, the head of the Lan family, "I beg my father to punish me, the child did a foolish thing tonight" Lan Feng impatiently let Blu-ray get up, and the behavior of Blu-ray tonight is not harmful to their Lan family, only good, after all, the enemy of the enemy is our friend. Although Su Chen was forced to be the enemy of the Bai family because of the blue light, Su Chen was bound to be Bai Sheng's rocker tonight, and the blue light was nothing more than a catalytic role.
"Dad, aren't you angry?" Lan Feng looked at the little son with a dead skin and smiling face, and sighed helplessly and said, "You did okay this time, but the other party has not yet become our ally, do you know what to do later?" Blu-ray nodded.
For Su Chen, who had just entered the world, this night was like beating him once when his mother was ten years old, leaving a deep impression, and he couldn't underestimate anyone or trust anyone at will. The repeated admonitions of the nine gentlemen have become a deaf ear tonight, even if they always warn themselves, they still fell into the big pit of February City, and they were too careless. Su Chen's encounter at this time is an inevitability in the hearts of the nine people, although in the usual teaching, Su Chen's brain has not stopped, but there is still a lack of real tempering, although he remembered what the teacher said in the textbook, but if he didn't use it, or he didn't know how to use it, or when he faced the problem, he found that the teacher had said that he had said that he had in the book but he didn't. Su Chen lacked polishing, and needed this utility knife in the world to process this piece of jade that had just been unearthed and had not yet faded from the stone shell, and before it was formed, it might be shattered by external forces, so the nine people gave him a full set of protective items, but if he couldn't bear the pain caused by this utility knife and shattered, it would be irreparable by the nine people.
Su Chen came to the door and sat down, he was very annoyed, and even a little uneasy, he obviously knew the reason for everything tonight, but he just couldn't calm his mind, even the Taoist priest and the monk taught him the meditation mantra, it was useless, it was better to say that he was interrupted just after running. Su Rongrong noticed Su Chen's strangeness, Su Chen at this time was like a hot person in summer, but it felt different, Su Rongrong came to sit next to Su Chen, and Su Chen also noticed that Su Rongrong had woken up.
"What's the matter? Can you tell me?" Su Rongrong's small voice came into Su Chen's troubled heart, just like when he was a child, when he was angry, he came to vent under Su Rongrong, who was still a big banyan tree, his heart felt a little cool. After all, he is still a seventeen-year-old chick who has not been exposed to the wind and rain in the world, Su Chen fell on Su Rongrong's lap and said before and after, but he was not worried about someone eavesdropping, this Tianzi room is actually a small courtyard, Su Chen was talking in the courtyard, Su Rongrong responded softly, and sang a ballad, Su Chen slowly fell asleep, Su Rongrong smiled and pinched Su Chen's face, and cultivated independently for the first time, until Su Chen woke up, Su Chen looked at Su Rongrong embarrassedly, Su Rongrong smiled and said that it was okay, let Su Chen take her to eat something, Su Chen took out the pastries brought back last night, let Su Rongrong fill her stomach first, and then went outside to order food first, and waited for Su Rongrong to change her clothes and come to eat。
Su Chen ordered a few expensive dishes today, probably because he was embarrassed last night, and soon Su Rongrong came over.
"Wow, are there so many delicious foods" Su Rongrong picked up the chopsticks, and was about to put down the chopsticks, so he took them back, looked at Su Chen, Su Chen smiled and said Eat, and put a chopstick dish into Su Rongrong's bowl, but Su Rongrong didn't move the chopsticks.
"What's wrong, doesn't it match your appetite, do you want to change it" Su Chen asked, probably because it tasted like Su Rongrong, and got up to replace Su Rongrong's bowl, but Su Rongrong picked up the bowl and ate it, muttering, "Su Chen will be the same as usual in the future, I don't need you to thank me, and you don't need to" Su Chen sat down and nodded, he knew that now was not the time to argue, but he did want to say thank you, Su Rongrong was angry at this time, and he also knew that it was because he had no sense of proportion to money, so the two of them lowered their heads and ate their own food, this time they ordered more dishes, Su Rongrong also ate with a hard stomach, and returned to the room silently, Su Chen could only settle the account, and said outside the room that he had something to do and left the restaurant.
Su Rongrong lay on her bed and looked at the headdress that Su Chen gave her, Su Chen gave her too much to say, she also wanted to help Su Chen, until last night, she could only help Su Chen by becoming stronger, she was still too weak, Su Rongrong thought about it and began to cultivate. Let's be strong first, at least not lag behind.
Su Chen wandered around the street, after he left the restaurant, Blu-ray and Bai Sheng came to the Hollywood Restaurant almost at the same time, after the two took a look, Bai Sheng came to the door of Su Chen's room, and Blu-ray ordered a pot of tea in the hall, and left the Hollywood Restaurant with an abnormal expression before drinking, all of this was seen in Bai Sheng's eyes, it is estimated that this guy's friend Zhang Wu found something good, and this guy left in a hurry.
Bai Sheng knocked on Su Chen's door, "Young Master Su, are you there" Su Rongrong stopped practicing, but she didn't open the door and didn't answer, Su Chen said that this room is the safest. The guard beside Bai Sheng has changed a person, the strength of Jin Dan's peak in the later stage, and asked, "Young master, do you want to break this door" Bai Sheng was about to scold this guard, and the proprietress appeared in front of them, looked at the guard and said, "This adult can try it, consider whether he is worth the money for this door before he starts" The proprietress looked at Bai Sheng with a smile and left, this guard was just recruited by the Bai family, obviously he didn't know the rules here, but he mainly wanted to please the master in front of him. When I was about to ask if I wanted to give this woman a little color, naturally there was some evil intent in my heart, Bai Sheng kicked him in the lower body, he didn't defend it, this kick still has spiritual power, naturally it is not light, but after all, it is a Jindan monk. Bai Sheng turned his back to him and said, "Since you are a dog, you have to listen to your master," the guard gritted his teeth and followed Bai Sheng away. The existence of Hollywood Restaurant is only rumored to be incomparable to outsiders, but this requires an extremely strong background, but because of the support of the City Lord's Mansion and the General's Mansion, people simply think that this is the property of the two families, and there is a gap between the two because of the difference in profits. But this is only a superficial phenomenon, the existence of Hollywood Restaurant is a big family for these families, a family that balances them but does not participate in their affairs.
Therefore, the new guard's mouthy words were punished, and the punishment from the Bai family was that the Bai family received a letter from the proprietress saying whether they wanted to go to war, and the Bai family recalled and asked Bai Sheng, who was still trying to hide it, and after learning the truth, the guard was rewarded with a hundred rods. and put up a notice saying that this person has committed the following crimes. This happened quickly, and it spread quickly, Su Chen didn't have any feelings after hearing it, but found that Blu-ray appeared in front of him, and Blu-ray invited him to a restaurant to sit down.
"Brother Su, I'm sorry for what happened last night" Blu-ray stood up and bowed to Su Chen and apologized, Su Chen hurriedly picked up Blu-ray and said, "Lan Gongzi, what are you doing?" Su Chen sat down with Blu Light in a confused face, and after listening to Blu Light say that he told his father about last night, he was scolded, saying that he had hurt Su Chen, and he realized that he came to apologize this morning, after Su Chen listened, he signaled this little thing, he himself has no good impression of the Bai family, and sooner or later he will fall out and leave as something important, Lan Lan looked at Su Chen's departing back, everything was under his control, Su Chen's whereabouts and Bai Sheng's. "This Su Gongzi seems to be an innocent young master," Blu-ray said comfortably as he drank tea.
Su Chen tried his best to calm down in his heart, for fear that he couldn't help it, so he left with something important, of course he knew the pretense of this blue light, and when he came out of the restaurant this morning, he realized that he was being watched, and there were more than one. Su Chen came to the "Notification Pavilion" on the fourth floor of the Carrier Chamber of Commerce, where he had some detailed information about the major families in the entire February City, and sure enough, he still wanted to come here to inquire about information, and all that could be inquired about outside was the moss suspended on the surface of the lake, covering the turbidity under the lake.
Su Chen spent forty pieces of fifth-grade spirit crystals to get the information he wanted, and he sighed that this mere forty pieces of five-grade spirit crystals could actually buy so much information. In fact, in this far place, the five-grade spirit crystal basically belongs to the largest face value on the market, and it is basically the fragments of the five-grade spirit crystal circulating in the market, and the whole is piled up in the treasury of these families, and it will not run around like Su Chen carrying what he doesn't know how much.
Su Chen returned to the restaurant and found that Bai Sheng was waiting for him, and the two of them shushed and warmed up, "Bai Gongzi was really sorry last night, I accidentally hurt you, I really tried my best to stop it, I'm really embarrassed."
"Brother Su is serious, last night's incident was my fault" The two politely got up, Bai Sheng ordered a pot of wine, Su Chen ordered a pot of tea, the two punished themselves, after drinking tea and wine, Bai Sheng said that he was going to leave first, Su Chen sent Bai Sheng outside the restaurant, Su Chen looked at Bai Sheng's back and kept a smile and turned back to the restaurant, at this time the proprietress came to his side, he put away his honest smile with relief, and asked, "Boss, is there anything wrong" The proprietress smiled and walked side by side with Su Chen, and said" What can I do, this is the girl in Su Gongzi's room, but she has long been hungry, and she won't open the door when people send someone to deliver food" Su Chen's heart chuckled, kept a smile and said, "Trouble the boss lady to send someone to send some food to the room" and left quickly, the boss shook her head, in the end, it is not easy to do this step.
At the beginning, the proprietress secretly transmitted to Su Chen everything that happened in the morning, and she did come back much late, Su Chen came to the room and saw Su Rongrong eating pastries, Su Rongrong happily ran to Su Chen, and told Su Chen everything that happened this morning, which made her heart flutter, Su Chen closed the door, and Su Rongrong came to the table before she sat down, the door rang, and the food came too quickly.
"Su Gongzi, are you there" Liu Xian'er's voice came in, Su Rongrong looked at Su Chen a little panicked, Su Chen whispered that it was okay, let her sit and continue to eat pastries Don't care, then open the door, Su Chen stepped out of the threshold and came to the door, "Miss Liu is here, what's the matter?"
"Young Master Su, have you forgotten?Didn't Xian'er say last night that she would make some pastries for you and send them over?" Liu Xian'er said with a smile, Su Chen looked at Liu Xian'er mentioning the pastries in front of her face, and deliberately shook it, stretched out her hand to take it, and thanked her
"Didn't Gongzi Su invite Xian'er to sit inside? Could it be that the Golden House is Zangjiao" Liu Xian'er said jokingly, Su Chen frowned, but still let Liu Xian'er come in, and found Su Rongrong standing on the side of the table
"I didn't expect Su Gongzi to really hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, what is the name of this fairy sister" Liu Xian'er said and stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hold Su Rongrong's restless hands, Su Chen strode in front of Su Rongrong, helped Su Rongrong sit down, and said with a smile, "Her name is Su Rongrong, my relative" Su Chen motioned for Liu Xian'er to sit down, put his hands on Su Rongrong's shoulders and squeezed them, Su Rongrong relaxed, this world was too complicated and thrilling for a spirit like her, and she was not ready for all this, she saw too many cultivations enough to kill her existence. Liu Xian'er looked at Su Rongrong, Su Rongrong seemed to be Su Chen's sister, after all, a maid did not have the blessing of letting the master pinch her shoulders, and she was so relaxed and naturally only had a sister. Su Rongrong noticed Liu Xian'er's scrutiny, her body couldn't help but tremble, Su Chen looked at Liu Xian'er, Liu Xian'er retracted her gaze, the two casually politely said a few words, and the meal was delivered, Liu Xian'er said that she would not disturb the two of them and left first, Su Chen did not stay, Liu Xian'er also joked about Su Chen when she left, Su Chen responded directly by closing the door, and Su Rongrong ate.
"Rong Rong, don't be afraid of me" Su Chen sat next to Su Rongrong and clenched the other party's hand, Su Rongrong nodded slightly, it seems that he will have to take Rong Rong with him in the future to rest assured, the two quickly finished eating, and after the messenger took it away, Su Chen turned over the storage ring to see if there were any sewing tools, and changed the size of his clothes to Su Rongrong, after all, his clothes were made by nine people, the number can be imagined, but the sewing tools were not found, but he found women's clothes and some hair accessories, Su Chen blushed, and suddenly thought that Qingyan said, Su Chen will definitely have a favorite girl when he goes out in the future, can he not have some decent gifts。 Su Chen took out these things and gave them to Su Rongrong, Su Rongrong was just about to say that Su Chen was spending money again, Su Chen hurriedly explained, "These are all prepared by the adults in the family, I just turned them out, I didn't spend money to buy them, you see the workmanship material and my clothes" After Su Rongrong confirmed, he changed into clothes under Su Chen's compulsion, and put the money he bought before in the palm of his hand, after all, there are too many things in the storage ring, and it is too troublesome to find. Su Chen looked at Su Rongrong and found that these clothes could hide Su Rongrong's cultivation and body, and the hair accessories had some magic uses that he didn't know.
Su Chen leaned on the chair at this time and thought about it, Sui'an They have prepared too many things for him, food, clothing, housing and transportation should be complete, eat, there are a lot of food in the palm of the world and the storage ring, but there is no need to eat what they prepared here, the main thing is to try it, wear, countless men's and women's clothes, the quality and material are not generally good, live, the palm of the world is a moving big house, okay, the cloud boots on the feet, I haven't found any other travel for the time being, and the money has also prepared a large number of spirit crystals, and I don't know how much. In fact, in addition to what Su Chen didn't know, whether it was the storage ring or the heaven and earth in the palm, there was a huge space to seal the good things that Su Chen didn't know.
