Chapter 17: The Young Master of the City That Never Sleeps (I)
The Lodge, one of the city's most luxurious hotels, is internationally renowned and is a sign of status.
Today's old brother Stuart seems to be particularly dressed up, the original signature messy hair has obviously been trimmed, and he has changed into clean clothes, although it still can't be reminiscent of a gentleman, but it finally looks much more comfortable, and he won't be regarded as a beggar when he walks on the road.
Seeing Situ Xing like this, I said curiously, "Brother, what kind of place is this city that never sleeps?" How can you let idle clouds and wild cranes like you be driven by it, I don't think you are the kind of person who is willing to work for others, brother? ”
"Brother, do you have faith in your heart? In my mind, the city lord of the city that never sleeps is my god, as long as the city lord gives an order, even if I want to die, I will not hesitate to carry it out. When he said this, Situ Xing changed his previous bohemian appearance and said piously. It's really hard to believe that a person as free and easy as my brother would say such a thing, so that I am more and more interested in the young master of the Yunxiao Never Sleepless City, which is the next generation of city lords, after all, it is not easy to make the arrogant beggar bow his head.
Suddenly, there was a rare silence between me and my brother, and I was thinking about how to politely decline the invitation of the city that never sleeps without hurting my brother's emotions. And the old brother Situ Xing doesn't want to talk more about the city that never sleeps, anyway, I don't belong to the city that never sleeps now, and the chance to join is not big, Situ Xing will not be an idiot who thinks that he can change the mind of the person in front of him by relying on his own relationship, and now the only hope is pinned on the young master, when he thinks of the young master, Situ Xing has an inexplicable reverence, the young master's personal charm is undoubted, and the beggar firmly believes that as long as he has contact with the young master, Leng Xing Soul will not join the city that never sleeps, It will definitely become a friend of the city that never sleeps.
In this way, with the two of us thinking about it, we entered the Emerald Lodge and came to a very quaint building.
"Star Soul, I'll accompany you here, the young master is inside, you follow him in. I'm waiting for you here" pointed to a child waiting by the door, Situ Xing Zhengse.
"Hello Mr. Leng Xing Soul, I am the guide, the young master is waiting for you in the garden, please come with me." After saying that, he saluted me and Situ Xing, then turned around and walked into the house.
Under the leadership of the boy in front, we were like walking in a minefield, a few steps forward and a few steps back, anyway, we walked for about 5 or 6 minutes and did not advance more than 10 meters, but I did not have the slightest displeasure for all this, some were just surprised, you know, at this moment we are walking a Xuanmen formation, the mystery is self-explanatory, and from the perspective of the little boy's skill in the formation just now, it is also a first-class good hand in the ancient martial arts world, I really can't imagine that only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child has such amazing strength, This also gives a glimpse of the strength of the three forbidden places.
"Mr. Leng Xing Soul, the young master is in front, please go over by yourself." After about 5 minutes of walking, we suddenly saw a beautiful garden in front of us. After the boy finished speaking, he saluted me, then retreated into the formation and disappeared.
"Alas, there are really a lot of rules in the big family." As I muttered in my heart, I walked to the corner of the garden, because under the feeling of my qi, there was only one in the garden.
After a few turns, I saw a small pavilion in the middle of the woods, and a man in the pavilion was facing away from me, drinking a glass of wine.
"Suspicious? Why is this back so familiar? It seems to have been seen somewhere. Just as I hesitated, my back drank the wine in the cup, then turned to me and laughed, "Lone Star, long time no see, congratulations on your blessing in disguise and great success." ”
"Profiteers? You, ha, it turns out that you are the young master of the city that never sleeps, and you are really good at hiding from people. "I don't know why, I always have an indescribable feeling about profiteers, both familiar and unfamiliar, the distance between the two seems to be very close, but it seems to be thousands of miles apart.
"Ha, don't care about the young master and the many masters, I just want to find a friend to drink now, come, this is the best Jin Fen, taste it, how is it better than the snow in Xuanwu City?" With a slight wave, a wine jug on the table floated towards me, both slow and steady, which shows that the strength of the profiteer is also superb, if it is me before the breakthrough, it is really difficult to say with the victory or defeat, the descendants of the three forbidden lands are really not covered.
"Haha, since it's a good wine, naturally you have to taste it slowly, I still like to drink it cup by glass." As soon as I finished speaking, the wine glass, which had been placed on the table, suddenly flew towards me as if it had been controlled by an invisible hand, but when the flask was flat, the speed dropped sharply, almost at the same rate as the flask, and I grabbed it in no particular order, and then poured the wine from the jug into the glass as if nothing had happened. It was leisurely, as if I had just done something insignificant.
Seeing all this, Rao Yi is profiteer's calm personality is also his face changed slightly, everything that happened just now is simply terrible, it is not easy to control the wine glass on the stone platform purely with qi at such a distance, and this glass of wine is not as small as a wine jug, not only small but also fragile, how high is the requirement for qi, what is even more terrifying, suddenly changing the rate in the rush and arriving at almost the same time as his own wine jug, such an attainment is simply too appalling, I was still a little unbelieving when I heard Situ Xing's report, So I want to take the opportunity to test it, but now it seems that what Situ Xing said is just the tip of an iceberg, I can't think that the man in front of him is a terrible master in the peerless world, and it is even more surpassing in reality, you must know that with your own strength, it is already difficult to find an opponent in the ancient martial arts world, except for the heirs of the other two families, the profiteers don't put anyone else in their eyes at all, but after this try, it seems that he and others are also going to stand aside, Leng Xing Soul, it is really a terrible existence.
"Admire, please." After all, coming from a big family that has been circulating for thousands of years, the profiteer quickly regained his composure, and then beckoned me to sit down.
"Why do you want to puncture that last layer of tissue paper between us? That doesn't seem to do you any good, and you shouldn't make such a mistake with your intelligence, right? Drinking Jin Fen in the cup, I asked lightly.
"Do you think I'm willing? If things hadn't taken a turn for the worse, would I have foolishly risked breaking up with you and having a showdown with you? The profiteer smiled wryly and poured a few glasses of wine.
"Break up? Ha, needless to say, it's so exaggerated, am I so unreasonable? "For some reason, I'm in a very good mood today, and looking at the profiteer with a bitter face, I quipped rarely.
"Don't you blame me for hiding it from you all the time? I've been scheming against you. The profiteer said honestly.
"But at the end of the day, I didn't do anything for you, what I did, was what I wanted to do. Also, there are not many people who can drink with me, and I don't want to lose a good drinking partner. Gazing at the wine in the glass, I said lightly.
"Lone Star, thank you, thank you for still treating me as a friend, you know? I'm really afraid of losing your friend to talk to, it's a terrible day to be alone. At this moment, the profiteer looked relieved.
"Okay, don't be disgusting, it's a shame that you can say this kind of thing, it's not the same as you usually do."
"Damn, it's not all your fault, come, cheers, for we are still friends to talk to." The profiteer said excitedly, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
After some staggering, looking at the profiteers who were still excited, I said, "What happened to force you to do this?" I may not be able to help you, but it's not always good to keep it in my heart. ”
"Well, I think you know a lot from the starry sky." My words pulled the profiteer back from the excitement to the cruel reality, and after looking at me helplessly, the profiteer said.
"How much do you think the starry sky will reveal to an outsider?"
"Haha, outsider? Will the young master of the East China Sea Crystal Palace personally cast a spell on an outsider? Boy, don't you pretend to be confused? "The banter on the face of the profiteer, how can he have the demeanor of the heir of the family, by the way, a whole outlier.
Being reminded by the profiteers, I suddenly felt strange in my heart, when my grandfather talked about the East China Sea Crystal Palace, he also said that although they have excellent medical skills, they will not treat them casually, especially the important people in the palace, if they want to make a move, it is simply difficult to reach the sky. And this time, I can't imagine that the current young master, the future head, is willing to heal me, an outsider, although it is because of the relationship between the Duanmu family, but there is no need for the young master to go out in person. Coupled with my unusual experience with the stars in the sea of desperate sand, I actually had the urge to think about it.
"The three major families compete for rankings every hundred years, and the winner will dominate the ancient martial arts world, while the loser will not only bow down to the vassals, but also retire, in order to make a comeback in a hundred years. And every time the competition is different, it can be said that there are thousands of strange, there are battlefields to dominate, there are Jedi counterattacks, there are dynasties to fight for hegemony, and there are also rivers and lakes catastrophe, and this time, the battlefield of the competition is not in reality, but in an illusory world, but the cruelty there is more than in reality, alas, seriously, there are many times when I doubt that that is the real world, too real, everything is too real. Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the pavilion, the profiteer said very emotionally, at this moment he is no longer the hegemon of one party, and the long-term pressure has made him a little unbearable, he needs to vent, and he needs to pour out the bitterness in his heart. At this moment, he finally broke out under the stimulation of fine wine.
