Southwest of the imperial capital.

There is a huge mansion here, tonight, the courtyard is brilliantly lit, and a group of soldiers in iron armor continue to walk through the courtyard, making this mansion show a kind of coercive atmosphere, and this is the mansion of the fifth prince Yang Tianzhao.

Outside the mansion, in the dark night, three figures walked slowly, and those three were Zhou Qing, Shen Rong and Shi Heilong.

With the previous lesson in the square of Tianzong Academy, Zhou Qing was much more cautious.

Now he also knows that in this imperial capital, there are too many existences that can threaten him, and if he wants not to be harmed, he needs to be protected by a strong man who can really get on the table.

Therefore, when Zhou Qing agreed to Yang Tianzhao's invitation to the banquet, he had already decided to bring Shi Heilong.

Although this person has never shown any malice towards Zhou Qing since he first saw Yang Tianzhao, Zhou Qing faintly felt that at tonight's banquet, perhaps Yang Tianzhao would show his truest side in front of Zhou Qing.

When the time comes, whether it is a poor dagger or a friendly talk, Zhou Qing does not know.

But as long as Shi Heilong stayed by his side, Zhou Qing was confident that in this imperial capital, there should be no one who could threaten his life.

Zhou Qing and the three of them came to Yang Tianzhao's mansion.

Looking at the courtyard that was much more brilliant than the Dong Mansion, Zhou Qing was slightly startled in his heart, and his spiritual power spread, and he even sensed that in the courtyard, every once in a while, the guards would patrol by.

Obviously, this huge mansion, although it is brilliant and dazzling in the night, there is also a hidden murder motive in it.

Zhou Qing sensed that in the courtyard, there were some breaths hidden in the shadows, and among those breaths, there were several that were at the ninefold level of the Purple Mansion Realm.

There is no doubt that these strong men are the real hole cards in Yang Tianzhao's hands.

Zhou Qing's spiritual power was already comparable to that of the powerhouses of the Linggang Realm, so when his spiritual power swept through the courtyard, no one noticed his peeping.

Before the mansion, after Zhou Qing handed Yang Tianzhao's invitation to the guards at the door, they entered the courtyard smoothly.

The three of them walked down the hallway, towards the depths of the courtyard.

In the middle of this huge courtyard, directly north of the courtyard, there is a large lake, and in the center of the lake, there is an elegant pavilion.

At this moment, Yang Tianzhao was sitting there, quietly drinking tea, dressed in white, floating like a fairy, exuding a sense of pride above the world.

And behind Yang Tianzhao, Cao Xiu stood there respectfully.

Obviously, even in his own mansion, Yang Tianzhao's side is always protected by a strong person, and he will not leave an inch.

"Haha...... Zhou Qing, Shen Rong, you are here, hurry, please take a seat!" Yang Tianzhao saw Zhou Qing and Shen Rong coming, he stood up and laughed loudly.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, and sat opposite Yang Tianzhao.

On the side, when Shen Rong faced Yang Tianzhao, she seemed a little restrained, she just sat quietly beside Zhou Qing, silent.

Yang Tianzhao's gaze swept over Zhou Qing's body, and then, he glanced lightly at the solemn stone black dragon behind Zhou Qing.

Ishiguro's posture is obviously the appearance of a subordinate.

Yang Tianzhao's spiritual power swept over Shi Heilong's body, he didn't perceive Shi Heilong's strength, so he only regarded Shi Heilong as an ordinary person.

After all, although Zhou Qing's strength is not bad, he is only the seventh level of the Pulse Realm.

With Zhou Qing's strength, he may not be able to be a powerful subordinate, so Yang Tianzhao didn't take Shi Heilong to heart.

His gaze moved, and when all Yang Tianzhao's attention fell on Shen Rong's body, he looked at the girl, and on his delicate cheeks, there was a faint shyness, and inadvertently, the corners of his mouth set off a faint arc.

And Yang Tianzhao's eyes, the flash of covetousness, was just captured by Zhou Qing.

"Sure enough, Yang Tianzhao invited me and Rong'er to a banquet, and he didn't have any good intentions!" Zhou Qing stared at him and muttered to himself.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing asked Shi Heilong to follow him tonight, and when the time comes, no matter what happens, he will be able to deal with it calmly.

Otherwise, once any conflict broke out between him and Yang Tianzhao, surrounded by countless powerhouses here, he and Shen Rong would not even have a chance to escape.

"Fifth Highness, tonight, I don't know why you invited me and Rong'er to a banquet?" Zhou Qing looked at Yang Tianzhao and said bluntly.

Yang Tianzhao chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Zhou Qing, Your Highness knows that you have won the first place in the freshman assessment of the Heavenly Sect Academy, and I will specially set up a banquet for you tonight to celebrate." ”

"When Your Highness saw you for the first time, I saw that you were extraordinary, but I didn't expect that you really brought me such a big surprise. ”

"With a seriously injured body, you were able to hunt and kill nearly a hundred demon beasts with Shen Rong in the Tianzong Mountain Range, under the condition of the demon beast riot, how did you do it?"

The demon beasts of the Tianzong Mountain Range rioted, and under the endless tide of beasts, ordinary people didn't even have the courage to face it, let alone hunt demon beasts.

Yang Tianzhao always had a doubt in his heart, Zhou Qing and Shen Rong, how could they stay in the mountain range for four or five hours without being injured after the demon beast riot.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, this is not a skill!"

"At that time, the demon beasts rioted, and Rong'er and I found out earlier than most people, so we found a cave in advance and hid it. ”

"Later, when the demon beasts were killing each other, we sneaked out and secretly stole the beast pill from the demon beast's corpse. ”

"I see. Yang Tianzhao nodded, his expression abrupt.

Not long ago, Yang Tianzhao had guessed that the nearly 100 beast pills were not hunted by Zhou Qing and Shen Rong, the two of them.

After all, the demon beasts on the periphery of the Tianzong Mountain Range rioted, and although the number of those demon beasts was very large, their strength was not too strong.

However, Yang Tianzhao quickly dismissed this idea.

In the midst of that terrifying beast tide, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to let Zhou Qing and Shen Rong survive or not, let them hunt demon beasts.

At this moment, hearing Zhou Qing's explanation, Yang Tianzhao was also relieved.

It turned out that the two of them also had the ingredient of cunning, and in the end they harvested so many beast pills.

"Anyway, Zhou Qing, I still want to congratulate you on winning the first place in the freshman assessment, I think that after you enter the Tianzong Academy, the future will definitely be limitless. Yang Tianzhao slowly raised his glass and smiled.

Yang Tianzhao continued: "Speaking of which, Lao Wu was also too impulsive, at that time, it was his carriage that hit and injured you, but he blindly ignored people. ”

"Even though he and I are only half-brothers, I still want to apologize for his behavior"

Zhou Qing's face was calm, he looked at Yang Tianzhao lightly, and said to himself, "Have you finally begun to tell your true purpose?"

"Yang Tianzhao, on your face, although you are apologizing for Yang Shengfei's behavior. Secretly, why don't you belittle Yang Shengfei, but in front of me, show your kind side, and make me grateful to you, but it's a pity that you found the wrong person. ”

Listening to Yang Tianzhao's explanation, Zhou Qing immediately penetrated the true intention in his words.

For Yang Tianzhao, Zhou Qing didn't have any good feelings in his heart, and as for Yang Tianzhao's apology, Zhou Qing didn't take it to heart in the slightest.

Yang Tianzhao apologized to Zhou Qing for Yang Shengfei's behavior, but on the other hand, he wanted to make himself as kind and gentle as possible, wanting to impress Zhou Qing and make him follow him with all his heart.

However, when Yang Tianzhao looked at Zhou Qing's calm face, his face stiffened suddenly, and he didn't continue to speak.

Yang Tianzhao didn't expect that the young man in front of him was beyond his imagination, and Zhou Qing was not moved by his words at all.

Yang Tianzhao's expression was slightly stiff, and after a short period of embarrassment, he regained a confident and indifferent smile on his face.

Born in the royal family, Yang Tianzhao's city is far beyond ordinary people, and he knows how to hide his emotions.

A faint smile appeared on Junyi's face, Yang Tianzhao's eyes fell on Shen Rong's body, and he said, "Miss Shen Rong, at your age, I don't know if there is a marriage?

Yang Tianzhao's voice fell, and in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he suddenly fell into a strange silence, and for a while, the needle fell and could be heard.

Zhou Qing put down the teacup in his hand, slowly raised his head, and his cold gaze fell on Yang Tianzhao's body.

Is it finally the end of the dagger?

In the dark eyes, a flash of calm color, Zhou Qing's face was gloomy, from the beginning, when he got Yang Tianzhao's invitation, he felt an unusual meaning.

If Yang Tian took care of his talent and strength and celebrated him for winning the first place in the freshman assessment, it would be reasonable.

But Yang Tianzhao added Shen Rong's name to the invitation, and at that time, Zhou Qing felt that Yang Tianzhao had bad intentions.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Qing completely understood that Yang Tianzhao had fallen in love with Shen Rong's beauty.

On the side, Shen Rong's face stiffened when she heard Yang Tianzhao's words, and immediately, she shook her head and said, "Fifth Highness, I understand your kindness, but I already have a sweetheart, so thank you for your kindness." ”

As she spoke, Shen Rong looked at Zhou Qing silently, her eyes soft.

Yang Tianzhao noticed Shen Rong's expression, with a faint smile on his face, and said slowly: "Zhou Qing, Your Highness, you are interested in Shen Rong, I don't know if you can cut your love and give her to me." ”

"Your Highness wants you to assure you that as long as you draw a clear line with Shen Rong, I will definitely let you enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on. ”

In Yang Tianzhao's eyes, women are like clothes, he promised to give Zhou Qing endless glory and wealth, and Zhou Qing would definitely agree without hesitation.

Yang Tianzhao looked at Zhou Qing with a smile, waiting for his reply.

Bang!

Zhou Qing slapped his palm on the table in front of him, the wooden table exploded, turning into countless slags, he looked at Yang Tianzhao coldly, and said senran: "Yang Tianzhao, let me tell you, Rong'er is not a commodity that can be traded at will. ”

"And you don't deserve to love her, tonight's feast, I think that's the end of it. ”

"Rong'er, let's go!"

Zhou Qing held Shen Rong's cold jade hand and walked slowly towards the outside of Yang Tianzhao's mansion.

Zhou Qing's heart was furious, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Tianzhao had helped him when he was on the square of Tianzong Academy, at this moment, Yang Tianzhao would already be a dead man.

Yang Tianzhao is only the strength of the Purple Mansion Realm, and behind him, even though he has Cao Xiu's protection.

Just now, as long as Zhou Qing was willing, he gave Shi Heilong an instruction to stop Cao Xiu, and Zhou Qing was able to kill Yang Tianzhao in an instant with his own strength.

The banquet broke up unhappily, and in the pavilion in the center of the lake, Yang Tianzhao stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the direction of Zhou Qing's departure with cold eyes, his face was gloomy and terrifying.
