Chapter 167: The Banquet

The old man of the Xiao family is waiting in the hall because he is old and his body is not good.

The old man of the Xiao family is also dressed in a more magnificent style, compared with Ye Luo's body today. "I thought that only this golden silk ice cicada robe in my hand in the world was precious, but I didn't expect this old man Xiao to enjoy it so much, Ye Luo, look at the gem inlaid in the waist of his robe. ”

Ye Luo looked in the direction that Qi Lao said.

Sure enough, the old man of the Xiao family had a red gem the size of a fingernail around his waist. The red wasn't your usual red or pink, it was a darker blood red.

"That stone is called phoenix tears, is the blood of the real phoenix coagulated, although the stone is only the size of a fingernail, but it is inlaid in the robe has the effect of prolonging life, it can replace the human body function to quickly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, is a good baby. ”

So a small piece of stone can have such a big effect? Ye Luo listened to the clouds and fog in his head, there was only one conclusion, the Xiao family is very rich! But when he heard Qi Lao say this, Ye Luo knew that this old guy must have taken a fancy to the phoenix tears on the waist of the old man of the Xiao family, otherwise Ye Luo believed that Qi Lao Li would not bother to pay attention to him, let alone introduce him to the function of that gem in such detail.

"You, you must have taken a fancy to that treasure, don't be greedy for it, as long as you can take this mountain at that time, those will be yours. Ye Luo sneered at Qi Lao, he is now the one who knows Qi Lao well, and the behavior of the big devil in people's impressions before generally needs to be improved.

Maybe it's because of the phoenix tears on the waist of Old Man Xiao's robe, although Old Man Xiao's age is there, but his spirit is very full.

"It's an honor for my clan to be able to invite you three distinguished guests as guests today. ”

Old Man Xiao echoed Xiao Minglang's words and walked out of the back of the hall on crutches.

Ye Luo hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man of the Xiao family, and he was a sycophant again.

From the performance of the Xiao family, Ye Luo came to a very funny conclusion, it is true that there is a father and a son, whether it is the old man of the Xiao family or the two brothers of the Xiao family, what these three people like most is to listen to other people's flattery.

Ye Luo really couldn't figure out how the family that liked to be slapped on the back of people so much existed until now.

After a period of greetings, Ye Luo and the others followed the people of the Xiao family into the dining place behind the screen in the hall.

It is not surprising that there are gold bricks and gems inlaid here, and even every set of utensils on the dining table is carefully carved, and the decoration of the Xiao family is not comparable even to some palaces.

Left respects and right is humble, Ye Luo and the others are seated on the left side of the dining place, and the rest of the Xiao family is seated on the right.

The food was served to a group of women in short skirts, but they looked strange, for their ears were much more pointed than usual, their skin was covered with dark green lines, and if you looked a little closer, you could see a silver chain in the heavy ornament of their ankles.

"Brother Xiao, why have I never seen these stunners, your Xiao family really has a lot of treasures. ”

Ye Luo raised his glass to Xiao Minglang, who was sitting opposite him, and then pretended to stare at the woman serving the food with a squinting look.

"Brother Chu, where is this, are you talking about this group of slaves and maids?Ao, they are elves in the autumn of the desert, if Brother Chu likes it, just pick a few of your favorites, but in our eyes, these things are just animals transformed into human shapes. Xiao Minglang said lightly, in fact, he didn't know what the origin of these elves was, anyway, many martial artists gave these elves to their Xiao family when they were in the past.

Desert Autumn?Listening to the name, the origin of these elves should also be related to the desert, since it is related to the desert, do you already know something about the map fragments?

Ye Luo really wanted to take away one or two elves to ask, of course, he was not like the Xiao family who were going to use these elves as slaves.

Since Xiao Minglang had already spoken, Ye Luo was not polite, and directly ordered an elf in front of him and Xiao Minglang said that he had taken a fancy to this one.

The elf, who was still carefully arranging the dishes, heard Ye Luo's words, and his pupils shrank instantly, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Xiao Minglang readily agreed, and asked his subordinates to bring up a delicate little bell and hand it to Ye Luo.

"Brother Chu, I will give you this little bell, with this bell, you don't have to be afraid that these livestock will run away, and she won't dare to refuse what you want her to do when the time comes. ”

Ye Luo took the bell handed by the next person and looked at it, he didn't think there was anything special about this bell, could it be that there was something special about its sound? Thinking of this, Ye Luo shook the bell in his hand curiously.

Who knew that the elf in front of him immediately fell to the ground in pain as soon as he heard the sound of jingle bells.

The elves' reaction startled Ye Luo, and he hurriedly stopped shaking, it seems that the chains on the inside of the elves' ankles are controlled by such a small and delicate bell.

Ye Luo put the bell away with great guilt, if he knew that he would cause so much pain to these elves by shaking the bell like this, he would definitely not shake the bell easily.

And for Xiao Yue'er, she is now full of anger hidden in her heart.

The IQ of girls in love is zero, and Xiao Yue'er is like this.

She was angry all the time during the meal, why did Ye Luo take a fancy to an elf! Could it be that her little Yue'er was not as good as an elf?

In addition to these elves who serve food, the dishes of the Xiao family's banquet guests are also very interesting.

Normally, the meat people eat is ordinary chicken, duck, fish, or pork, beef and mutton, but this is not the case with the Xiao family.

They ate the meat of wild animals that ran in the mountains and had not been bred in captivity.

The meat of these beasts is refined, firm, delicate, and has a very good taste.

The Xiao family generally cooks beast meat, which can maintain the quality of the meat, with the unique rosemary leaves of Qiankun Valley mixed with mountain spring water, and the beast meat is steamed in a bamboo tube for half an hour, and a pure natural and pollution-free delicacy is made.

Mu Annan almost didn't say anything today, all his strength today was spent on memorizing the route of Qiankun Valley and eating, the dishes of the Xiao family and even the pastries were rare and delicious in Mu Annan's eyes, and he suddenly felt that the old fat craftsmanship was average.

During the banquet, the old man of the Xiao family knocked on the side and tested Ye Luo many times, most of the time asking him about his identity.

Of course, it is impossible for the old man of the Xiao family to ask Ye Luo so obviously, so most of the questions at the dinner table are inconsequential things.

For example, ask where Ye Luo is from, ask him how he met Xiao Yue'er, anyway, he wants Ye Luo's origin to be revealed in the hall.

Ye Luo answered the questions of the old man of the Xiao family fluently.

He told the old man of the Xiao family very frankly that he was from the Cloud Desolate Continent, and he and Xiao Yue'er had met in the Cloud Desolate Continent before, claiming that because of his family and Xiao Yue'er, he had some business connections.

Ye Luo also wanted to trick out the words of the old man Xiao on the way, but the old man of the Xiao family was more shrewd than he imagined, but whenever it came to the topic of secrets, the old man of the Xiao family would play Tai Chi to fool the past.

Although both parties are dishonest with each other.

The old man of the Xiao family or Ye Luo threw an olive branch.

"Young man, you should have an extraordinary background, looking at your conversation, you are young and promising, I don't know, Xiaoyou has any plans to cooperate with our Xiao family for a long time, of course, if this is the case, our Xiao family will not treat you badly. ”

These words of the old man of the Xiao family made it clear that he was placed in a very high position, and sometimes Ye Luo really didn't understand what kind of power made them so confident, if he was in such a situation, he would definitely not be so conceited.

In order to arouse the greater interest of the Xiao family, Ye Luo did not directly agree to the old man's words, he showed a really embarrassed look, and he was extremely hesitant.

"Old man, it's really not that I don't want to cooperate with your Xiao family, after all, I'm just a small person in the family, and for such a big thing as cooperating with other families, I have to go back and discuss with my own elders first. ”

Seeing Ye Luo's hesitant appearance, Old Man Xiao didn't know what to say.

"Young man, our Xiao family is not just anyone who can ask us to cooperate, this is a good opportunity, shouldn't you take advantage of it? Besides, if you all agree with us, believe your elders, you shouldn't say anything. ”

Even if the family is lonely to the current situation, Old Man Xiao still feels a high attitude, if it is according to what he said, it is now simply Ye Luo climbing their Xiao family.

Mu Anan couldn't listen to it anymore, obviously the appearance of his side was the last straw for the Xiao family, according to common sense, the Xiao family should treat them as gods.

However, the reality is that the positions of the two points are reversed.

Xiao Yue'er sat on the side and didn't dare to laugh out loud, Ye Luo really underestimated the conceited talent of the Xiao family this time.

She thought that if she interjected at this time, it was estimated that Ye Luo would really not be able to cope with it.

"According to my words, both of them have their own difficulties, it's better to do this, you listen to a suggestion from the little girl, let Brother Chu think about it first, take him to think about it, it's not too late for you to cooperate, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”

Xiao Yue'er slightly bared her teeth and acted as a middleman.

As soon as the beauty spoke, of course, everyone responded. The old man of the Xiao family and the two brothers of the Xiao family both felt that it was not bad to do this, so they no longer insisted on selling how good their own family was.

After finishing the meal, Ye Luo and the others still had a lot of free time, so Ye Luo asked Xiao Minglang to take them around.

There is another person who has been silent during this luncheon, and that person is Xiao Mingtang, the second son of the Xiao family.

This person should be regarded as the most far-sighted one among the three members of the Xiao family, why do you say that? It is because he actually knows very well in his heart that his father and brother, as well as Ye Luo and the others in today's banquet, all have bad intentions.

He knew it, but he didn't say it.

He sat on the side, when she was quiet as a beautiful man.

Ye Luo's reluctant invitation, of course Xiao Minglang was embarrassed to refuse, the old man of the Xiao family had to go back to the bedroom to rest after lunch every day at noon, so the old man of the Xiao family did not accompany Ye Luo and them to visit Qiankun Valley.

The whole Qiankun Valley because of the four main peaks in the southeast, northwest and northwest, respectively guarding the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, the chain bridges in the valley are intertwined with each other, forming an extremely spectacular scene.

The clear stream is rapid, the hanging spring waterfall, the mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains are upright.

No matter which way you look at it, Qiankun Valley is a rare and good place.

While walking in the south of Mu An, he remembered the general situation of Qiankun Valley introduced by Xiao Minglang, and he had the route map of Qiankun Valley in his head, which was simply a manual map.

Fortunately, with Ye Luo here, Xiao Minglang didn't do anything to Xiao Yue'er along the way, but Xiao Mingtang couldn't stop staring at Xiao Yue'er all the way, as if his eyes were on Xiao Yue'er's body.

The day's trip ended quickly, and Ye Luo and the others went out of the valley together to make an appointment with the Xiao family to come to visit in two days.

Today's task was basically completed, and when they left, the Xiao family still showed a reluctant look, and when Ye Luo and the others all came out, the two carriages were quietly waiting for them on the side.

Li Haoran lay on the carriage, snoring and sleeping, he was so bored that he didn't wait for Ye Luo and them to come out for a long time, so he simply fell asleep in the carriage.

Today, Ye Luo and the others also had a major gain, that is, they brought out the elf when they left.

The elf looked very shy, silent all the way, in addition to fear in its eyes, there was also disdain for Ye Luo and the others.

Ye Luo and the others are in a good mood today, of course, this is not Xiao Yue'er, after all, she is still jealous.

Ye Luo tiptoed to the carriage and slapped Li Haoran on the buttocks.

"Ahh

Li Haoran screamed in pain, and he suddenly woke up from his sweet dream, his face full of anger.

"Grandma's legs! Who dare to spank my ass with such long eyes!"

Li Haoran was sleepy-eyed and half-open, and scolded loudly.

He was really angry, he finally met Luo Lan in a dream, and the two of them got married and had children, he was really about to dream of that kind of time, he was woken up by someone like this, can he not be angry?
