The door opened, and the heads of the people sitting in the room really made the kite break out in a strong cold sweat, but when she saw her young lady standing calmly and calmly, she generously let Xie Huazhao introduce to everyone in a loud voice, "This Xie Ning is what I call a distinguished guest, he is my distant cousin, he is new to the place, and he is not familiar with the place, and I ask you brothers to take care of him." ”

When he heard this, he really sweated for Xie Qingning, after all, all the people here were men, even if they were all sons of prominent families in Lanling City, there would be no prodigal generations, but if it was spread, it would also tarnish the reputation of the young lady, which would be very unfavorable to her future marriage.

However, Xie Qingning obviously did not have this kind of cognition, not only bowed politely to the more than ten teenagers present, but also introduced with a smile, "In Xia Xie Ning, it is really a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you brothers today, and please give me advice." ”

"Third Brother Xie, your cousin is so handsome, he really doesn't look like someone from your Xie family." There was a joking voice from the crowd, which caused the audience to laugh, Xie Huazhao laughed and scolded, "You Qu family people may not all be good-looking, but my cousin is a natural beauty, what's the use of your envy?" ”

In the midst of the calls, Xie Qingning smiled silently, after all, it was just a joke of the teenagers, and she didn't care, but when she swept her eyes, she found that among all the people present, only Xie Yongzhi and a plain woman looked at her differently.

Xie Yongzhi's gaze is not complicated, three points of appreciation, two points of curiosity mixed with a little contradiction and entanglement, but the gaze of the plain woman is full of scrutiny, as if she wants to see through her heart.

The woman has a long face, starry eyebrows, a cocked nose and cherry lips, and her appearance is more than beautiful, and her seemingly gentle temperament is actually introverted, which is Su Ying.

Xie Qingning bowed slightly to her to greet her, but after Xie Huazhao sat down, he moved his gaze to the young man who had been sitting next to Xie Yongzhi and dressed as a man.

It's not handsome and extraordinary, but it's more than delicate, but the big eyes are full of curiosity and surprise, obviously very interested in her, and I don't know if it's because of Xie Yongzhi or other reasons.

"Since everyone has arrived, then the slave family will first toast all the sons with a cup, which can be regarded as a celebration of today's festival, and I wish you all the best in everything?" Su Ying stood up first and poured wine for all the sons with a smile.

Today's wine is not fruit wine, but a real old wine, full of strength.

Xie Qingning didn't dare to drink more so as not to eat it by mistake, so she just tasted it, and when Su Ying toasted her alone, she said with a certain meaning, "I heard that Miss Su is also a monk, and her noble conduct is really admirable." ”

The smile on Su Ying's face froze slightly, but she only lowered her eyes and drank without answering, and Shu Gongzi, who was sitting on her right, interjected, "Xie Ning, don't you know, Miss Su was originally a young lady from a family of immortal cultivators, but she was only reduced to dust in the middle of the family, but she also did not change her original intention, adhered to the heart of the Dao, and deeply admired us." ”

When it comes to her life experience, Su Ying's face is pale, but she doesn't show it, and her years of happy experience have taught her to forbear, and she has learned that her joy and anger are invisible, but she is much cuter than those willful women who are raised in the deep boudoir.

Xie Qingning's impression of her was a little better, and when everyone toasted each other, he quietly said to her, "Although Miss Su has not changed her original intention, after all, people are terrifying, and they all say that Phoenix Nirvana also needs to find a plane tree to perch on, Miss Su might as well think about it." ”

Hearing this, Su Ying's expression shook slightly, and when she looked up at her, her eyes became more and more inquisitive.

Xie Qingning no longer accosted her, but was pulled by Xie Yongzhi's cousin Xie Zhihua to talk non-stop, but the questions were all innocuous topics, such as what preferences, what wishes, what plans, what relatives and friends, etc., Xie Qingning simply suspected that she was here to check her details, and she couldn't cry or laugh when answering, and was often silent for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, a slave brought up the freshly baked demon beast meat, and the strange fragrance attracted everyone's attention, Xie Zhihua gave up asking Xie Qingning to breathe a sigh of relief, and turned his head to see Xie Yongzhi's eyes were deep and suspicious, which was really strange.

Although the demon beast meat is mixed with a little spiritual energy, it is actually just special, and it can't really improve the cultivation much, just because the demon beast is difficult to hunt, it is difficult to find a thousand gold, and the monks are even more eager to find it.

Xie Qingning had stayed in Shengjing for a long time in his previous life, and was often invited to a banquet by Wang Sun Guixuan to taste the feast of demon beasts, so he was not keen on these things.

Although the "Qunying Pavilion" is in the bustling street market and hidden in a sea of lights, but because of the deep heavy building, it is also quiet and quiet, Xie Qingning walked around, unconsciously broke into a red plum courtyard, bursts of cold plum fragrance came to her nose to make her take a long breath, and couldn't help chanting a poem, "A plum tree in front of the court, the cold is not open." Only say that flowers are like snow, but there is fragrance to come. ”

There was a sudden sound of high-fives behind him, Xie Qingning turned around in astonishment, and saw a man in a dark blue robe standing quietly in the courtyard under the hazy night, only a dozen steps away from her, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark light, but he heard his voice like a light porcelain, and said softly, "Good poetry, good poetry." ”

"You...... Who are you? Bang Zheng's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly stopped in front of Xie Qingning and asked.

After all, it is dark and windy, if someone sees this scene, how can the reputation of the master be innocent?

The words of the zither made the man chuckle and said, "Don't worry, the little boy is the owner of this building, Liu Yingjie, who is not a bad person, don't worry." ”

The owner of the "Heroes Pavilion"? The strange person in Xie Huazhao's mouth? That Boss Liu who has cultivated a lot of Qingqi? is also Su Ying's life-saving benefactor who will not fall into the dust? Xie Qingning couldn't help but look carefully, and he could vaguely see that his eyebrows were thin, his chin was pointed, his eyes were deep-set, and his eyes were terrifying, not like a businessman but like a strategist.

Xie Qingning frowned slightly, and secretly released a trace of spiritual power to probe the depth of the other party, who knew that the spiritual power was like a mud cow entering the sea without even the slightest ripple, she was secretly shocked in her heart, either this person had no cultivation at all, or he had cultivated too much higher than himself to be able to explore!

Her expression was slightly abrupt, and a polite smile appeared on her little face and said, "It turned out to be Boss Liu, fortunately." I got drunk and came out to breathe, blow the wind, and suddenly smell the plum fragrance before I accidentally broke into this place, please forgive me. ”

Liu Yingjie didn't seem to notice the temptation of her spiritual power, and only smiled indifferently, "Since it is a mistake, Liu has no reason to pursue it, this plum garden is Liu's residence, and if the little boy doesn't dislike it, he can go in and have a few drinks." ”

"That's not necessary, my friends are waiting for me, thank you." Xie Qingning arched his hand at him and hurriedly left with the zither.

After she had been gone for a long time, Liu Yingjie turned around, looked at the corridor where she disappeared, and muttered something that no one could understand.
