Chapter 672: A Cup of White Water
Cao Xingui was originally saying something to Li Bingshen, and when I looked at them, he also closed his mouth.
?
It seems that this Cao Xingui also seems to have a problem.
?
"Left Boss?" Elder Wang touched me and called me again: "Left Master? ”
?
Only then did I come back to my senses and look at Elder Wang: "Huh? ”
?
Elder Wang: "What I just said, you should consider it. ”
?
I asked him, "What did you just say?" I didn't hear a word. ”
?
Elder Wang smacked his lips, leaned closer to me, and said in a low voice, "I mean, one percent is too little. Actually, in addition to taking a stake in the property of the head of the sect, the Council of Elders has also done some other business, Zuo Zhangmen, or you will make a new company, and we will also pool the money and invest in your shares. ”
?
Yan Xiaotian was talking to Liang Houzai, and he shouldn't have heard Elder Wang's voice.
I took a bite of the dish and asked Elder Wang nonchalantly, "Make a new company?" What does this mean? ”
Elder Wang leaned over to me again and said, "Alas, look, you have been helping us to run the sect, isn't it because the sect has business dealings with you, I know, you are good buddies, but what do you say, between sects and sects, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests." Isn't it just for the sake of that little profit that you are getting close to him now? Don't worry, if you cooperate with our Elders, you will definitely earn more than if you cooperate with Yan Xiaotian. ”
I nodded: "Well, yes, I got close to Yan Xiaotian just for profit." ”
Hearing me say this, Elder Wang then smiled, and before he continued to talk nonsense with me, I preemptively said, "Do you know what I want the most benefit? ”
Elder Wang seemed to be very interested in my words, and deliberately put his ear on my side.
I whispered to him: "The benefit I want most is to feel comfortable, and to put it bluntly, life must be comfortable." ”
Elder Wang smiled flatteringly and asked me, "How do you say this?" ”?
I also smiled and said, "I, joining forces with Yan Xiaotian, one is to take revenge, what revenge is it, that is, to avenge you old people of Baiwu Mountain for embarrassment of the Soul Village, as long as you are uncomfortable, I will be comfortable, I will be comfortable, this benefit, I will get it." I told Cao Xingui this once, didn't he tell you? ”
Elder Wang seemed to be unable to understand what I meant for a while, and was stunned for a long time before he said to me: "Zuo Zhangmen, no, I heard that you are not such a person, how can you ......?"
"That's the kind of person I am." I said this, and then I stopped talking to Elder Wang.
In fact, to be honest, I didn't want to embarrass the Baiwu Mountain Elders, no matter what they did before, but after all, it was all in the past, as long as they could assist Yan Xiaotian well and focus on reviving Baiwu Mountain, I don't care about the previous things, and I guess Yan Xiaotian won't do it either. But after such a big thing, they still can't change their, and for that little sesame power, they dig out their minds all day long to calculate Yan Xiaotian.
For people like this, I feel that life is superfluous.
I don't know if Yan Xiaotian thinks the same way.
Elder Wang said something in my ear, I didn't want to pay attention to him, just just treat his words as a deaf ear, and after he said a few words, he probably felt bored and shut up.
I have been scanning everyone and the banquet party, and occasionally I have a few words with Yan Xiaotian, because today's dinner party is held on my ground, so from time to time people will come to toast, and I don't treat myself as an outsider, I always deal with it with boiled water.
Seeing that all the elders had toasted me, I began to observe the people attending the banquet again, and finally my eyes fell on a disciple sitting in the northeast direction.
I stared at him for a while, then patted Yan Xiaotian, pointed at the person, and asked, "Who is that guy?" ”
Yan Xiaotian: "Do you say it's the one with white eyebrows?" ”
The man I was pointing at looked to be in his twenties, but his eyebrows were half black and half white.
I nodded at Yan Xiaotian, and I heard Yan Xiaotian say, "His name is Cai Chun, the senior disciple of Xuanhuo Hall, and among all the current disciples, he can be regarded as the one with the highest cultivation. For the first two years, the name of the first disciple of Baiwu Mountain was still mine. Why did you suddenly ask about him? ”
I said, "This guy is a little too calm, I think something is wrong with him." ”
Yan Xiaotian smiled helplessly: "If you are too calm, you can be suspicious, you are a bit of a soldier." ”
I asked Yan Xiaotian: "How is this Cai Chun's character?" ”
Yan Xiaotian shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know what his character is." In addition, I can't see him well, sometimes I think he looks like a good person, and sometimes I think he doesn't look like a good person. ”
I tilted my body towards Yan Xiaotian and said to him: "Now, everyone in Baiwushan knows that Li Bingshen has a problem, and everyone here is somewhat repulsed by Li Bingshen, but he, when he talks to Li Bingshen, he is naturally not like talking, you see, we are staring at him now, he obviously sees us from the afterglow, but every move is very natural, as if nothing happened." ”
Yan Xiaotian sighed and said, "Do you think everyone has a problem now, do you think I also have a problem?" ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Cai Chun has a good relationship with you?" ”
Yan Xiaotian: "Why do you ask that, I have almost no contact with him." ”
"Listening to the anger in your tone, I thought you had a good relationship with Cai Chun." I say.
Yan Xiaotian: "I'm not...... Hey, weird, I seem to be a little angry when I speak, but Cai Chun and I really don't have much to do with it. ”
I didn't speak, took a sip of water, and continued to scan the feast.
After a while, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder, and when I looked back, there was an old man with white hair and eyebrows standing behind me, holding a glass of wine in his hand, looking at me with bad intentions.
"Boss Zuo, when I toasted you just now, you drank boiled water, right?" The man asked me.
When he spoke, his voice was very loud, and Yan Xiaotian was also alarmed, turned to look, and then said to me, "This is Elder Gu, who usually doesn't show up much. ”
I asked Yan Xiaotian, "Which gu?" ”
Yan Xiaotian: "Ancient Gu," Speaking of this, he leaned forward to me and whispered, "Be careful, this old man is not easy to deal with." ”
Elder Gu probably heard Yan Xiaotian's words, and coughed violently twice, Yan Xiaotian ignored him, and went to talk to Liang Houzai, I frowned, turned to the old man behind me, picked up the cup on the table and said, "I don't drink." ”
He brought the wine glass in his hand to my face, and said: "You must drink wine when you participate in the banquet, this is the rule of our Baiwu Mountain, you are a guest, then you must also be a guest, this is the etiquette." ”
When I heard his words, I vaguely understood that he was here to find fault, and it was estimated that after he toasted my glass of wine, it was time to talk about diluting equity.
But I didn't want to follow his wishes, so I smiled and said, "Oh, I thought the owner of Baiwu Mountain was Yan Xiaotian." ”
His face was pulled down with a brush: "Of course, the Yan Palm Sect is the master of Baiwu Mountain. ”
I nodded and said to him, "I discussed with Yan Xiaotian before the banquet, and he said, I can not drink tonight, why can't you do it here?" What you just said just now means that I broke the rules and etiquette, who set these rules and etiquette? ”
Elder Gu: "Of course, it was set by the ancestors, even if it is the head of the sect, it cannot be changed." ”
persuaded a drink to get the ancestors up, does this guy have a problem with his brain?
But since he said so, I followed his meaning and continued: "The ancestor of Baiwu Mountain has set a lot of rules, right? ”
Elder Gu smiled at me darkly, "That's nature. ”
I nodded, turned around, and asked Yan Xiaotian loudly: "Yan Xiaotian, in the rules set by your ancestors, what should be done with the people who betrayed Baiwu Mountain, and what should be done if they collude with outsiders to harm Baiwu Mountain's thousand-year-old foundation?" ”
Yan Xiaotian responded to me loudly: "Confiscation of family property, abolition of cultivation, and expulsion from Baiwu Mountain, in fact, in the past, it should have been cleaned up, but now that the murder is illegal, it has been changed to expulsion from the division." But I think it's a bit too heavy and should be changed. ”
I asked him, "Isn't that the rule set by your ancestors, and you can change it?" ”
Yan Xiaotian: "We in Baiwu Mountain also have to keep pace with the times, those useless old rules...... Hey, Elder Gu, why are you here? ”
Elder Gu smiled at Yan Xiaotian very embarrassedly, raised his head and drank all his wine, and then left in a huff.
Yan Xiaotian looked at his back as he walked farther and farther away, and said to me with a smile: "Even Elder Gu is not your opponent, it seems that there will be no one to trouble you tonight." ”
He spoke in such a loud voice that several elders close to me heard him, but no one said anything, and Elder Wang, who was sitting next to me, had a very unnatural expression.
Speaking of which, these elders are looking for trouble with me purely out of my mind, and I made it very clear to Cao Xingui at the time, I just don't want the Council of Elders to be comfortable, and there is no possibility of reconciliation with them.
They wanted to pour me down on the wine table with a few catties of spicy soup to make me uncomfortable, which is really childish behavior. Do you think I'm not diluting their stake in this way, or do they have other plans......
Thinking of this, I looked at the nearby elders again. What are they going to do?
I looked at Elder Wang, and then at Elder Gu, who had just returned to his seat, and found that Li Bingshen was following Elder Gu, holding a very chic wine jug in his hand.
When my eyes moved to Li Bingshen, he deliberately used his sleeve to pick up the wine jug in his arms, but it didn't completely block it.
If I'm not mistaken, when Elder Wang persuaded me to drink, Li Bingshen seemed to have wandered past Elder Wang, and when Elder Gu came over just now, Li Bingshen had been wandering around him.
"Lee Byung-shen!" I straightened up and beckoned to Li Bingshen.
Li Bingshen stopped and looked at me very vigilantly.
I beckoned to him again, "Come here." ”
Li Bingshen pointed at himself, as if to confirm whether I was calling him or not, and it was not until I nodded that he put down the flask and walked towards me.
I pointed to the flask he had placed on the table and shouted, "Bring me that jug." ”
When I called Li Bingshen just now, none of the elders here looked at me deliberately, but now, they all looked at me, and I glanced at all the elders with a quick speed, and most of them subconsciously avoided my gaze after meeting my eyes, and some of them looked away from the wine jug on the table after looking away.
There must be something wrong with that flask!
In just an instant, the originally lively wine table suddenly fell silent, and all the people who were chatting just now looked at me.
I beckoned to Li Bingshen, who was standing still, again: "Bring me the flask." ”
