Chapter 176: Night-Style Villa
Dozens of elites in the secret world, including Ye Fanghua and Li Jian, who died in the battle between Sichuan and Chongqing, can testify that this petite demon cat can manipulate demon fire, and the grass puppet in the Sichuan-Chongqing airport was wiped out by it in one fell swoop.
And the snow demon who followed behind Chen Pi was not only beautiful, but also with Li Zhiqing's eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Cai Xueji's strength was also one of the strongest among the snow demons, and more importantly, Li Zhiqing found that Cai Xueji's mind was extremely sober and showed no signs of control at all, which was completely different from the spirit pet, and the strength of Chen Pi who could completely control the two was known from this.
However, what puzzled Li Zhi was that from Chen Pi's own body, she couldn't feel too strong spiritual power, but it was only slightly stronger than ordinary awakened people.
A group of four people followed the mountain path, turned a few corners, and came to a hillside halfway up the mountain, looking down, on the flat land between the mountains, a large area and brightly lit villa appeared in front of the four people.
"That's the Night Lodge, where this banquet is located." Li Zhiqing said with a smile.
In front of the villa is the traffic of the car.
Hundreds of famous cars ply the mountain roads.
"It's almost time, Senior Chen, shouldn't we go down?" Li Zhiqing asked.
Walking in the antique and full of ancient atmosphere, seeing that all the people in the past mountain villas were dressed in ancient costumes, Chen Pi couldn't help but have a feeling of returning to ancient times.
"Senior, please go this way." When the group stepped into the Night Style Villa, Ye Fanghua, who knew that Chen Pi had arrived at the Villa, immediately rushed over, "Tiansongzi Dao Chief, they have already come, and they are resting in the side hall. ”
"Are the people from Huangquan Prefecture here?" Chen Pi asked casually.
"Lin Xingchen, Judge Lin has arrived, are you going to go to them first?" Ye Fanghua asked.
Chen Pi shook his head after pondering for a long time and said, "No, let's go to Tian Songzi first." ”
"Senior, why does the snow demon behind you look so familiar?" Ye Fanghua lowered her voice and said in Chen Pi's ear that he had a relationship with Cai Xueji at Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, and he was naturally impressed by the patriarch of this snow demon.
"Really?" Chen Pi smiled quietly and strode forward.
8 p.m.
In the hall that can accommodate three hundred people to dine at the same time, guests from all over the world have entered the table, Chen Pi naturally entered with the Tiansongzi people, and there was a middle-aged veteran beside him, he was the highest-ranking Xuan Xinzi of the Shushan faction who came to Yangcheng this time.
Don't look at Xuan Xinzi who looks middle-aged, in fact, he is already more than two hundred years old, but because he has practiced since he was a child, he rarely goes down the mountain, and he doesn't know much about worldly affairs.
The cultivators from the hermitage were arranged to the first place on the left seat, Xuan Xinzi and Chen Pi, who were elders, naturally sat in the first place, and the rest of the people sat behind them, Cai Xueji was also arranged among them, she was already able to control her own power freely, and in the eyes of those who did not know, she was no different from a human being.
"Mr. Chen, we're meeting again." Lin Xingchen, who was sitting at the head of the right seat, greeted with a smile, beside him, there were two judges, nodding to Chen Pi with a smile, Chen Pi also nodded with a smile in response, this is not the time to ask about the Netherworld, Chen Pi decided to ask him in detail about the Netherworld's current movements after the banquet.
As his gaze wandered through the hall, he suddenly saw five people who had known each other, the five Shenguan who had been cleaned up by him in Yinyue Lake, Chen Pi couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, but before he could turn his head, Shenguan had already seen his existence.
Shenguan's face, which was originally smiling, immediately changed greatly, and he pulled the other four people to sit down on the right seat quickly, and asked cautiously without understanding why: "Senior Brother Shenguan, what's wrong with you?" How did the face become so bad? ”
"Do you remember the man on Silvermoon Lake?" Shenguan asked in a trembling voice, that time Chen Pi really beat the five people miserably, although it was said that he was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, but afterwards the five people understood that their lives were just a thought of Chen Pi.
"Of course I do." Shen Xuan said angrily, "I also recognize him when he is burned to ashes." ”
On the Silver Moon Lake, in front of the demon fox witches, Chen Pi shot him down into the volcanic lake with a pestle, which can be said to have lost his face, and he regarded it as a great shame.
"Senior Brother Shenguan, why did you mention him again?" Shen Xing couldn't help but say with a little dissatisfaction. It was the only time since the debut of the five of them, and the five of them joined forces and still lost the battle, this kind of shame and humiliation was reluctant to mention it in front of others, and the faces of the cautious and cautious also showed a look of dissatisfaction.
"It's not that I have to mention him, but you look at the first place on the left." How could Shenguan not know the thoughts of his junior and disciples, and pointed to Chen Pi and said, "Is that person him?" ”
The four of them turned their heads to look at him, and they couldn't help but be shocked one by one, they never expected that they would meet him in the Night Villa.
"It's him, it's definitely him." Shen Xuan gritted his teeth and said, and then he had to stand up. Shen Xing hurriedly grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to find him out, he's a monster who dares to sneak into the banquet held by the Night Family, it's too bold." Shen Xuan's eyes were full of anger and he said, "He also underestimates us cultivators, I don't believe that he can get any good under the Yemingyang family master." ”
Shen Xing pulled him back to his seat, lowered his voice and said in his ear: "You are crazy, didn't you see that he came with those reclusive cultivators, he sat in the first place again, he must be a person with a higher rank among them, if you go out like this now and expose his identity, doesn't it show that your vision is higher than those cultivators and people in the night family?" ”
Saying this kind of thing will inevitably provoke the fire, not to mention Chen Pi's reaction, just Xuan Xinzi and the others and the five people of the Ye family's anger will definitely not be able to bear it, and he glared at Chen Pi with hatred and hatred, and sat down angrily, he is not a fool, these truths will be clear when he wakes up a little.
"Is that weird?" Shen Xin muttered to himself in a low voice.
"What's weird?" Shen asked cautiously.
"Have you noticed, although he looks exactly the same as the person on Silvermoon Lake, but I can't detect any demonic energy from his body, and the demon cat on his shoulder, we haven't seen it before?" Shen Xin is the most cautious of the five, and his observation is also the best of the five, after Shen Xin said this, Shen Guan five people noticed the little civet cat lying lazily on Chen Pi's shoulder.
"Is it him?" The five people looked at each other and said in unison, the cultivator with the demon cat, as far as the five of them know, there is only that one person at present, and the cold sweat of the five people immediately broke out, if the rumors are true, this person's strength is by no means something that the five of them can take.
"Could it be that there really are people in the world who look so similar?" Shen Xing muttered to himself, one is overwhelming and unstoppable, while the other is a powerful cultivator, which is too much of a coincidence.
The corner of Chen Pi's eyes saw that the five of Shen Xing were peeking at him from time to time, and the five of them were talking in a low voice, although he didn't figure out why the five of them were so "well-behaved" and didn't come to make trouble for themselves, but he didn't want to do much here, and he was happy.
"Xue Ji, don't always keep a calm face, look bitter and hateful." Chen Pi turned his head and whispered to Cai Xueji, who had been bowing her head and silent since entering the hall, at this time, Cai Xueji had already changed her skirt and wore a well-fitting dress, except for the wonderful figure that was extremely eye-catching, she looked no different from an ordinary female cultivator, but the hatred of the awakened people flashed in her eyes from time to time.
"Big brother, they are all enemies of my Snow Demon Clan, which one of them is not chased and killed like a madman when they see our clansmen, and all of them have their hands stained with the blood of our clansmen." The snow demon replied in a very low voice as thin as a whisper, looking at the enemy in his eyes, the anger in Cai Xueji's chest.
"Don't let the anger burn your mind, I can't save you if you make a move here." Chen Pi shook his head and warned her, "The ancients knew that the other side could win a hundred battles, and it is rare that you have such an opportunity to get close to them and understand them, so you don't want to give up on your own."
Cai Xueji nodded silently, she understood everything Chen Pi said, with her own strength, in this place where the masters of the human race gathered, there would be no revenge at all, it would only drag Chen Pi down, Chen Pi brought her here not to let her come to take revenge, but to take her to understand the life of the awakened at close range, which is also what Chen Pi promised Baoler.
As eight o'clock approached, most of the guests were already seated, except for Ye Mingyang, the host of the banquet, most of the awakened people were also seated, and there were more than thirty people.
In the hall, beautiful maids dressed in gorgeous costumes served everyone cool desserts and pickled green plums.
"Why do you eat something like this before eating?" Zhao Youcheng muttered quietly, he felt a little hungry, and when he smelled the aroma of green plums, he couldn't help but feel that his stomach was empty.
"Sister city, not many words." Tian Songzi reprimanded lightly, this time at the banquet, not only the two elders, Chen Pi and Xuan Xinzi were present, but also many other cultivators, if Zhao Youcheng made any jokes, it would really be a shame to go to Grandma's house.
"Sister City, it seems that you are blessed this time." Chen Pi turned sideways and chuckled, "What the Ye family entertains everyone this time should be authentic kaiseki cuisine, eat it slowly, but there are nine to eleven dishes, don't be weak in the end, this green plum is for you to appetize, everyone try it." ”
"The elder brother is really as Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi said, he is well-informed." Xuan Xinzi said with a smile.
Chen Pi smiled faintly: "It's over, but it's just a little more greedy than you." ”
Zhao Youcheng couldn't help but interject: "There are also beauties as guides, so naturally you have to know more, isn't it, senior." ”
As he spoke, he gave Chen Pi a bad smile, and before the voice fell, Zhao Youcheng's back of the head had already taken a shudder, and Tian Songzi said solemnly: "Youcheng, don't talk to your seniors like this." ”
Seeing Zhao Youcheng's painful appearance, everyone present couldn't help laughing, even Cai Xueji, who had been bowing her head and being silent, also pursed her lips and chuckled, and her beautiful smile attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
Chen Pi said with a smile: "Joking has to be divided into occasions, your senior brother Tiansongzi is on the side, you still dare to make fun of me, isn't it asking for hardship." ”
A few people were talking and laughing, only to see four people walk into the hall from the main entrance, led by a middle-aged man in a white robe, not tall, with a square face and no beard, a pair of eyes blazing, Gu Pan was full of power, obviously a person who had been in a high position for many years, and three people followed, two of them were Ye Fanghua and Ye Mingyang, the head of the Ye family.
As soon as the four of them stepped into the hall door, all the awakened people in the hall stood up and bowed to salute, so that everyone in the hall understood the identity of the person who came, and greeted Ye Mingyang one after another, only Chen Pi and Lin Xingchen were still sitting there.
Ye Mingyang nodded and greeted the people on both sides, and walked slowly to the chairman, and the maids served the second course of the banquet, which was mainly made of seafood and vegetables, a platter of six kinds of side dishes, and a pot of sake.
Ye Mingyang took the wine cup, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you for your face, come to my night banquet, here, on behalf of the night family, I would like to express my heartfelt welcome, I hope you can eat and have fun here tonight, everyone drank this cup first." ”
Ye Mingyang filled the wine cup in his hand again, looked around the entire hall and said: "I believe everyone present knows that there are now monsters rampant south of Yangcheng, and a large number of citizens have lost their lives because of this, even our awakened ones, hundreds of people have died because of this, and thousands of people have been injured. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Mingyang's voice was extremely low, and the people in the hall also put away the smiles on their faces and lowered their heads.
The people who can come here are well aware of the current situation, and everyone understands that it is full of unknowns now, and no one knows what the monsters who have captured Sichuan and Chongqing will do next.
"However, this is our country, the place where I was born and raised, and we will fight to the end."
The banquet came to an end in a warm and sometimes sentimental atmosphere, and the eleven exquisite dishes feasted everyone's mouth.
Ye Mingyang did not hesitate to praise Chen Pi and Lin Xingchen at all, and a string of words of praise flew to everyone one after another, especially for Chen Pi and Tian Songzi, Ye Mingyang repeatedly expressed his sincere gratitude to them for their many helps, Ye Mingyang's attitude towards the two directly affected the people from all walks of life present, and throughout the banquet, from time to time, someone would toast the two and express their gratitude.
When the last dessert was served, the dinner came to an end, but the grand dance party kicked off again.
The spacious backyard of the night villa was arranged as an open-air ball, countless colored lights hung all over the branches, and many girls dressed in fancy clothes appeared at the scene of the ball, so that the situation of the guests present was improved by more men and fewer women, and the guests except for a few left, the vast majority of them stayed, and everyone knew that this arrangement was the real purpose of the banquet.
Xuan Xinzi and Tian Songzi are all monks, and they avoid this kind of dance and hide in the corner to drink tea, but Chen Pi and Zhao Youcheng have no scruples, and take Cai Xueji and Youlu to walk through the dance crowd at will, looking for Lin Xingchen and them.
"Senior, look, it seems that Tie Zhongxu was tricked by you at the Sichuan-Chongqing Airport?" Zhao Youcheng pointed to the corner of the dance party and said in surprise, this guy thought that he had fled back a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he was still in Yangcheng and could participate in the banquet held by the night house.
Looking along Zhao Youcheng's fingers, I saw Tie Zhongxu, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, holding the beautiful female companion beside him with high spirits, and was chatting and laughing with a few young people there, looking at the appearance of those people who accompanied the smiling faces, it seemed that they were asking for him and deliberately currying favor with him, and Ning Feng, who had been following closely behind Tie Zhongxu, didn't know where he went.
At this time, Tie Zhongxu also saw Chen Pi and Zhao Youcheng, and hurriedly shook off the young people and walked towards the two quickly.
"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect us to meet again here." Tie Zhongxu sneered, stretched out his hand affectionately and said, "Since I didn't come to Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, I have never forgotten Mr. Chen's kindness to me." ”
In the Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, in a helpless situation, Tie Zhongxu was teased by Chen Pi, which made this rich kid who had been echoed since he was a child and made everyone feel ashamed.
"The grace of dripping water does not have to be reciprocated with a spring, and Tie Gongzi does not have to take it to heart." Chen Pi didn't pay attention to his outstretched hand at all, and said with a casual look, but his eyes were looking for Lin Xingchen and them in the crowd, and now he didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with Tie Zhongxu here.
