Chapter 173: Old Knowledge

Zhuge Ming went for a while, and when he came back, he was already accompanied by a guy who came to greet Tang Chen and Zhu Yi.

Tang Chen guessed that Zhuge Ming should have revealed his identity as a member of the Instrument Sect, apart from this, he couldn't think of any other means for Zhuge Ming to make the shopkeeper of the Beicheng Restaurant pay so much attention, at least, at this time, it would never be possible to use money alone.

The three of them followed the men all the way up to the ninth floor and entered a small private room to the south, where they could just look out of the window over the arena of the Holy Array Assembly.

"Three adults, there are too many guests today, and the only remaining small private room is also booked by guests, but the guest has not arrived, so we can give it to the three adults. The room is a bit small, so please bear with the three adults!" the man explained as he poured tea for the three of them.

"Well, this one is good, and you can see the view. Zhuge Ming said, and then threw out a Shibai Crystal and landed accurately in front of the guy.

This guy is also a star-level star, when he saw Shi Baijing, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly put Shi Baijing away, and said with an almost flattering smile: "Three adults, what do you want to eat and drink, we have ...... here"

Zhuge Ming didn't wait for him to elaborate, so he interrupted and said, "Let's have a pot of good star tea, if you have any delicious snacks or something, you can just look at it and give a few." ”

"Howler!"

The guy enthusiastically agreed and said, "Adults, please rest assured, the small ones will definitely choose the best star tea and the most distinctive dim sum in this restaurant for you, and ensure that you are satisfied!"

Zhuge Ming waved his hand and motioned for the guy to hurry up and get busy.

The man nodded and stepped out, closing the door casually.

Zhu Yi seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Zhuge Ming, and didn't want to get too close to him, so he walked to the window alone, holding the railing with both hands, looking into the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking, a pair of wrinkled hands rubbed vigorously on the window railing, obviously very unsettled in his heart.

Zhuge Ming looked at Zhu Yi's back, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head, and looked at Tang Chen again, for a while, but he didn't know what to say, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Tang Chen's gaze glanced back and forth at Zhuge Ming and Zhu Yi, and after a moment of silence, he asked Zhuge Ming, "Isn't the old friend in the Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion in the wasteland, why did he suddenly come to this Xishi City?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yi's body trembled obviously.

Zhuge Ming sighed and asked, "I am originally a member of the Instrument Sect, Xiaoyou should already know, right?"

Tang Chen nodded.

Zhuge Ming continued: "The Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion is actually one of the industries of the Instrument Sect all over the Star God Continent, and it is also its most special industry. Of course, this is only for the inside of the Qi Sect, and outsiders don't know about it.

Because, it is actually a kind of prison-like industry, and anyone who has made a major mistake in the instrument sect will be assigned to the Wanqi Pavilion, ostensibly to run the Wanqi Pavilion, but in fact it is a punishment for them, without the permission of the sect, they are never allowed to leave without permission, let alone return to the sect. ”

"What do you mean by old friend, you are in the Instrument Sect, are you wearing a sinful body?" Tang Chen asked a little surprised, he really didn't know that the situation would be like this.

"Alas......"

Zhuge Ming sighed again, his tone was full of helplessness and faint resentment, and replied: "Yes, we are indeed guilty bodies, but this 'sin' is a sin that is unwarranted......"

Hearing this, Tang Chen immediately understood that the reason why Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Zhi were assigned to the Wasteland Wanqi Pavilion was probably because they were framed by other people in the sect, but he didn't know the truth, and he didn't have too deep a friendship with Zhuge Ming, so it was inconvenient to comment more.

"Then, how can you leave the wasteland and come here today?" Tang Chen asked.

Zhuge Ming glanced at Zhu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "I came here to bring Zhi'er to participate in the Sacred Weapon Conference. According to the rules of the sect, if we want to leave the wasteland and return to the sect, we must enter the top ten in the Sacred Weapon Conference, which is the only way. ”

Tang Chen suddenly couldn't help but look at Zhu Yi, thinking to himself that he and Zhu Xiaohui attached so much importance to the Holy Array Conference, was it just like Zhuge Ming and them, in order to return to their sect?

At this time, Zhu Yi finally turned around, stared at Zhuge Ming deadly, and asked a little chokedly, "What you said is true?"

Zhuge Ming nodded and replied, "Brother Zhu, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you? What's more, Tang Chen Xiaoyou can also testify. ”

Zhu Yi glanced at Tang Chen suspiciously, he knew that the "Tang Chen" in Zhuge Ming's mouth should be the predecessor of the Star Emperor named "Chen Tang", "Chen Tang", "Tang Chen", just adjusted the order, it was very certain......

Tang Chen knew that it didn't make much sense to hide his identity from Zhu Yi anymore, because with the relationship between Zhu Yi and Zhuge Ming, Zhu Yi would soon learn more things from Zhuge Ming.

Seeing Zhu Yi looking at him, Tang Chen coughed dryly and explained: "Uncle, please forgive me, I have a last resort to hide my name, not because I want to deceive you." ”

Zhu Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "The seniors are serious! Even if the seniors don't explain, the old man can know that the seniors must have done this for a reason." Besides, there are some things that the old man also hides from his predecessors. ”

Tang Chen smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, motioning for Zhu Yi to sit down and speak.

Zhu Yi glanced at Zhuge Ming a little embarrassed, lowered his head and walked to the table, wanted to speak several times, and finally just sighed and sat down at the table silently.

Zhuge Mingqing coughed and asked, "Brother Zhu, I remember that more than thirty years ago, your cultivation had already reached the peak of the Junior Star Emperor, why is there no cultivation at all now? What happened?"

Zhu Yi looked up at Zhuge Ming, his lips trembled a few times, and he was about to answer, when suddenly the door of the room was slammed open by a strong force, and there was a loud "bang".

Tang Chen and the three of them looked towards the door together, only to see a white and pure middle-aged man walking in with his nostrils facing the sky, and scolded in his mouth: "I want to see what kind of dog thing it is, dare to rob Uncle Ben's room!"

When his gaze met Zhuge Ming and Zhu Yi, the expression on his face instantly became wonderful, and various emotions such as surprise, surprise, joy, and doubt flashed on his face in turn, and finally condensed into a presumptuous and happy laugh: "Hahaha......"

But Zhuge Ming and Zhu Yi's faces were only shocked and angry, and they looked at this man with eyes as if there was a raging flame burning.

"Zhuge Quan! it turned out to be you!" Zhuge Ming and Zhu Yi said through gritted teeth.
