Chapter 26 Additional Rewards
The change was sudden, and everyone was shocked!
Kiki was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening.
I only heard Qianye's cold voice and said indifferently: "I'm a civilian, only level four, so what? Don't you want to teach me a lesson from this bastard from the slums? Then stand up and continue!"
The young man's limbs twitched, and he struggled several times to get up, but finally fell to the ground and fainted.
The empire is extremely martial, and duels at banquets are not uncommon. After the surprise, most of the first cheers were girls, and the eyes cast were hot and bold, shining brightly. Most of the aristocratic youths had uncertain faces, and the hatred of Kikila's hand had not subsided when they entered the door, and at this moment, when they heard that Qianye was just a commoner, most of them had a feeling of being offended.
Qianye raised his right arm, the overly well-fitting dress was really in the way, he simply ripped off the jewel cufflinks and unbuttoned his shirt. Then his gaze swept over the few companions who were standing with the young man just now, and said coldly, "Who else is coming?"
Kiki's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she looked looking forward to the show. Yuan Zeyu shook his head and didn't say anything.
The young men froze in place, looking at their fallen companions uneasily, and then at Qianye, not knowing for a moment what to do. The companion who was knocked to the ground by a punch was a fifth-level soldier, not only the highest level among them, but also the highest force, and the young people couldn't understand at all, why would their companions lose so quickly, but at least they knew that they would be free to change themselves.
At this time, an angry voice sounded in the crowd on the south side of the hall, and a noble young man shouted: "This is not a place where you can be arrogant and presumptuous as a mere fourth-level soldier? If I teach you a lesson, I believe Miss Kiki will be understandable!"
Qianye raised his eyes and said directly, "Then come!"
The young man was furious, took a big step forward, and suddenly was held down by a hand on the shoulder, and could no longer move, he looked back and was stunned: "Cousin?"
Appearing beside him was a slightly older aristocratic young man with a three-point resemblance to him, who first gestured to Qianye from afar, and then turned his head and scolded: "You have grown up, sixth level against fourth level? Hmph, do you want to lose the face of our Shen family?" After he finished speaking, he dragged the impulsive noble young man back into the crowd with a force in his hand.
Qiqi upstairs whistled and said, "Shen Rong'an is really a fox! Although his clan brother is level six, if he really wants to end, he may not be able to win my little Qianye!"
Yuan Zeyu nodded slowly and said, "This little guy you brought is infinitely powerful, and his Force is condensed to such an extent, it is indeed rare." I'm afraid that if an ordinary sixth-level soldier is a little careless, he is really not his opponent. ”
The hall below was completely cold.
Shen Rong'an's move of pulling away his clan brother poured cold water on many hot-headed aristocratic young people who were eager to try.
Most of the people who were able to participate in the city lord's banquet were not straw bales, and the punch of Qianye just now was so violent that the fifth-level soldiers were all crushed by one blow. And the guy who fell to the ground wasn't the kind of parallel trade with the Force. On this occasion where there are many celebrities, how can people who are not a little confident rashly come forward to stir up trouble?
The fifth-level ones don't dare to go down anymore, and the sixth-level soldiers will be too embarrassed if they win or lose.
Qiqi smiled and said, "Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry to mess up your banquet, I'll apologize to you another day!" she said this, but her face was full of joy, looking at the young man who had just been lifted up by his companions at the base of the wall.
Yuan Zeyu smiled bitterly, he also recognized that the person who was knocked unconscious by Qianye was Ye Mulan's cousin. Fortunately, Ye Mulan has been angry with Qiqi, otherwise, there will inevitably be another conflict, and the situation will not be easy to clean up at that time.
A moment later, Kiki left the venue early with Chiya. After getting into the silver car, Kiki immediately happily asked about the cause.
Things are actually very simple, when everyone and others couldn't inquire about anything substantive here, Ye Mulan's cousin suddenly appeared. He had apparently gotten the news from some source, and opened his mouth to ask if Chiya was a civilian.
For Chiya, he can not reveal his information, but he also does not intend to lie about it, so he admits it frankly.
Ye Mulan's cousin immediately mocked Qianye mercilessly, saying that a poor ghost from the slums could only rely on a face to eat, and this fourth-level force didn't know how many potions Qi Qi had taken to get it.
Qianye didn't feel the need to talk to this kind of person, so she just asked coldly, "You think you're strong?"
The young man, who was a fifth-level soldier, replied with a sneer: "Of course! What, do you want to try a fight?"
"Good. ”
Then Qianye raised his spirit, gathered his strength, and punched, as heavy as a mountain, faster than lightning, and knocked the young man unconscious with one punch. If it weren't for Qianye's timely retraction and the fact that he didn't greet the vital point, just one punch would have sent the young man into a near-death state.
Qianye said very simply, but Kiki obviously didn't hear enough, and continued to ask, "That's all?
Qianye smiled bitterly: "He said I was a bastard from the slums. ”
"This" Kiki was a little puzzled. It's just an ordinary curse, why is Qianye's reaction so big.
Qianye was silent for a moment, and said, "I grew up in a garbage dump, and I never knew who my parents were. ”
The smile on Kiki's face suddenly flickered, and then gradually stretched, like a spring flower blooming, and said with a smile: "No matter so much, you make me happy tonight, so there will be a reward." Close your eyes!"
Thousand Nights closed her eyes for no apparent reason. The nose suddenly struck with a fragrant breeze, and the left side of the face felt soft and moist, and it was kissed!
This little episode of the return trip was quickly left behind by Qianye. This eldest lady, who has personality habits and even orientations that are different from ordinary people, no matter what she does, no longer surprises him.
An eldest lady of her status, everything comes too easily, so in order to pursue excitement, she often has such and such quirks. However, Qianye felt that her private hobbies had nothing to do with him, and all he needed to do was to complete the task well and be worthy of the generous remuneration he received.
Qianye spent four days completing the basic etiquette training ahead of schedule, and there were no new instructions from Qiqi's side, so he divided his daily schedule into two categories: cultivation and battlefield analysis.
In the days that followed, Qianye used up all the potions, but there was still some way to go before he officially hit the fifth level. During this time, Thousand Nights had only seen Kiki once, and she suddenly asked if she needed a potion, not knowing if she noticed that he had used enough doses but didn't ignite a new Force node, or if she just mentioned it casually. But Qianye refused, he didn't want to get too much that he shouldn't get.
In the time outside of cultivation, Qianye continued to read information, and soon had a general understanding of the area around Xichang City.
Near noon on this day, Ji Yuanjia came to Qianye's residence and invited him to go out to lunch.
Qianye also happened to want to know more about the content of Qiqi's assessment task, because he had already begun to plan to go to the battlefield, so he readily agreed, and followed Ji Yuanjia to the 'Tongquetai' restaurant in the city.
This is a magnificent retro building, the platform is ten feet high, the platform is built on five floors, the window edges and door railings are decorated with brass inserts, and the noon sun is at its peak, the streamer shines.
The two sides of the high platform are wide enough to land small floats, and the river water under the platform is stored into the roof of the building through the dark channel, and then it is discharged from the side wall in the air, and the spectacular scene of flowing waterfall splashing jade is created. It is said that the chef and many of the ingredients at this restaurant are shipped from the Upper Continent, and the price is even more expensive than the Upper Continent.
Ji Yuanjia parked the off-road vehicle and walked towards the gate with Qianye, saying with a smile: "This is the quality of the real upper continent, and of course the price." So you can't let go of eating for a while, or I won't be able to pay the bill. ”
Qianye smiled slightly, he had a little more affection for Ji Yuanjia, he liked to deal with people who spoke directly.
The two of them chose a window seat to sit down, and the waterfall was in front of them. Due to the sound insulation design, there is only a rumbling sound that seems to come from far away, which not only creates an artistic conception, but does not affect the conversation of the guests.
After the waiter delivered the menu, Qianye flipped through it casually and realized how expensive this place was. Even the cheapest dish costs a gold coin, and the expensive one soars to three digits. In other words, a lieutenant colonel's salary for more than half a year will be gone when he orders a big dish.
Qianye only ordered two of the cheapest dishes and put down the menu, but Ji Yuanjia was actually much more generous than he said, adding three or four restaurants with special dishes. This meal is sure to eat up a month's salary.
When the food was served, Qianye realized what the quality of the upper continent was. The amount of food is incredible, but it is also incrediblely exquisite.
The main dish was originally a fish, but it was made to look like a dragon's head, and the plate was decorated with a sea of clouds. This is a genuine hand-drawn map of the sea of clouds, ink painting style, even Qianye, a guy who doesn't know how to paint, can also see the extraordinary momentum of the layout brushstrokes. For this alone, the person who decorates the plate is a painter of great accomplishments.
"How do you feel?" Ji Yuanjia asked with a smile.
"I think the decoration on the plate is more expensive than the dish. "Thousand Nights tell the truth.
Ji Yuanjia said with a smile: "It's the same as what I thought at the beginning, but then I realized that the food is actually a little more expensive." ”
Qianye looked at the dishes like calligraphy and painting, and said with a wry smile: "I now know that I can't let go of what I can't eat." This is not enough to lay a foundation. ”
Ji Yuanjia smiled even more heartily and said, "For us, the meaning of coming to this place is just to see it. Having eaten is more important than how well you have eaten, at least in the future, and not being ridiculed for knowing nothing. ”
"Why will you be ridiculed?" Qianye was a little puzzled.
Ji Yuanjia said with a little self-deprecation: "Because I am a cold family, and you are a civilian." Although the Hanmen are a little better than the commoners, in the eyes of the scholars, we are all the same. For those who were gentry, the criteria for judging a person were simple: the top and the bottom. The top ones need to be knotted, and the lower ones are not as good as theirs. Therefore, in their eyes, there is no difference between the poor and the poor, because we are not as good as the scholars. ”
This is a very powerful logic, which makes Qianye feel like an eye-opener.
"What do you want to invite you to eat here?"
"For what?"
"Because at the banquet that day, your punch was so fucking resentful!" Ji Yuanjia, who has always been gentle and elegant, also broke out a rare foul language.
"Does that person have an enmity against you?" asked Qianye suspiciously.
Ji Yuanjia exhaled heavily and said, "It's impossible to talk about hatred. You'll see how disgusting those people are. Come on, do it first!"
The two of you went back and forth, and soon drank a bottle of wine. Qianye's face was slightly red, and his movements were obviously a little sluggish, and Ji Yuanjia's face was also flushed, it seemed that his alcohol consumption was not particularly good.
Ji Yuanjia shook the empty wine bottle and shouted, "Two more bottles!"
The waiter quickly delivered it, the rice wine here is really good, and it is even more rare that the price is not expensive. The price of a bottle of gold coins is just too fair in this place.
"Qianye, do you have any women?" Ji Yuanjia suddenly asked.
"No, what?" asked Qianye a little inexplicably.
"Ah, nothing. I'm just asking. ”
Ji Yuanjia casually perfunctory. He originally wanted to introduce a few girls who knew well to Qianye, and as Kiki's real adjutant, of course he knew that Qianye's lover identity was fake.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that on the night he returned to the Yin family's courtyard from the banquet, the unusually obvious lip print on Qianye's cheeks when he got out of the car. The faint blue and purple color is Qiqi's favorite special color, and Ji Yuanjia will never admit it.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanjia couldn't help twitching and aching slightly, and he immediately suppressed this little unpleasantness and threw the lip print to the corner of his heart.
But he was also a little sober, although Kiki may have just found a fresh toy for the time being, and she would leave it behind after a while, but when her freshness had not subsided, Ji Yuanjia would not do a stupid thing to introduce girls to Qianye.
Qianye looked at Ji Yuanjia who suddenly began to wander a little strangely.
"Qianye, Miss Kiki is the kind of woman who is most cherished, and if there is a little opportunity, it is also worth fighting for with all her might. Do you understand what I mean?" Ji Yuanjia said very bluntly this time.
Qianye frowned slightly and said, "It's just a task for me. In addition, the status gap between me and her is too big for any possibility. ”
"You're the kind of person who cares about status gaps?"
"Yes. Chiya smiled.
Ji Yuanjia shrugged, if Qianye cared about his status and status, he would not have smashed that aristocratic boy in the face with a punch at the dinner party. It's just that for many people, Qi Dafei is a threshold that can't be crossed, and he himself is not like this.
"Aha! Guess who I saw? Isn't this Miss Kiki's new pet?" a strange voice came from the side.
