Chapter 22: The Guest
"Young Master?"
Chu Yang pushed open the door when he heard a familiar voice coming from his right.
"Oh, it's Xiao Yin, are you cleaning up the garden again?" Chu Yang recognized at a glance who it was. To his right is a smiling young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in an ordinary dark blue housedress, although the whole person looks ordinary, but it gives people a sunny feeling. His name is Chu Yin, he is a domestic servant who specializes in cleaning all the places in Chu Yang's courtyard, and he is an orphan who has been adopted by the Chu family since he was a child, Chu Yang watched him grow up and took care of him very much, and Chu Yin also respected himself very much.
Chu Yin glanced at the strangely colored blue bird on Chu Yang's shoulder, immediately turned his attention to Chu Yang and shook his head and said, "No, young master, it was the master who specially ordered me to wait here for you to come out, and now that you are out, I will report to the master later." ”
Chu Yang felt a little strange, waiting for me, how could my father know that he would come out now. However, when Chu Yang saw a chair behind Chu Yin, he said clearly, "Have you been staying here all these days?"
"Yes, I stayed here when the young master began his retreat. ”
Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's really hard for you." By the way, do you know where Qiao'er is now?"
Chu Yin scratched his head, thought for a moment and said, "I've been in this place for the past few days, and I don't know very well, but I seem to have heard others say that Miss Qiao'er seems to have been following Lord Han Xuan these days." ”
With Master?Chu Yang frowned slightly, how could Qiao'er be with Master, could it be that Qiao'er was about to reach the peak of Qi Gathering now, and Master decided to teach her personally?
It's no wonder that Chu Yang felt strange, because Han Xuan once said that he didn't like to teach others, and even he was reluctantly accepted by his father when he begged him. However, Chu Yang thought that Qiao'er was a wood attribute spirit vein physique and seemed to feel a little understood, the wood attribute was the most precious of the six spirit veins, and Qiao'er was still young, she was already about to gather qi at the peak, and her talent was also good, and it was normal for the master to have a little love for talent as a spiritual cultivator.
Chu Yang thought about it for a while, but this was all his own guess, and the real situation could not be known until he met them. Chu Yang said to Chu Yin, who had been waiting next to him: "Xiao Yin, don't you still have to report to your father, so go now." ”
"Won't the young master go with me to see the master?"
Chu Yang thought for a while and said, "Let's go later." Now, I want to go to the bathhouse and then to the kitchen, and I haven't eaten much in a while. ”
"Then young master, I'll leave first. If you want to go to the master, he's in the front hall these days. ”
......
The corridor in the courtyard of the Chu family
"Do you want to eat more?"
Chu Yang changed into a white robe, and as he walked, he raised a red fruit in his hand and put it to the mouth of the red fruit on his shoulder.
Red fruit, this is the name that Chu Yang gave to the bird that was possessed, because it likes to eat this sweet and greasy red fruit in his hand, which he just went to the kitchen to find food, and by the way, he asked the person in the kitchen to find something to eat for it, and among the so many foods brought out by the chef, it likes this fruit the most.
And he also found that Hongguo seems to have a certain intelligence, and it can understand what he says with the people in the kitchen, just like when he was just looking for food for it, he can actually shake his head and nod his head to express his preferences.
And its attitude towards itself is like a child sticking to his father.
Beep......
The red fruit jumped on Chu Yang's shoulder, but he didn't eat the fruit that was handed to his mouth.
"Are you full? Yes, you should have enough to eat so much for your little body. Chu Yang wrapped all the red fruits in his hand in cloth and tied them into a small ball and put them in his arms. The two courtyards in front of me are the destination I want to go to, the front yard hall of the Chu family.
What those people in the kitchen heard before seemed to be that Han Shi and Qiao'er were in the front yard hall these days, Chu Yang thought about it and decided to go to the hall to have a look, and it happened that the people he wanted to see were there.
"Is it Chu Yang, the eldest son of the Chu family, in front of you?"
Chu Yang, who was teasing the red fruit, suddenly heard a male voice behind him that he had never heard before, and Chu Yang turned around and saw a strong man in a yellow tiger fur coat coming over.
Chu Yang frowned, he didn't know the person in front of him at all, but he still replied with a smile: "It's Chu Yang of the Chu family, who is Your Majesty?"
The man laughed twice and said, "By the way, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm here to attend the banquet held by your father, my name is Wang Quan, but others generally call me Lei Laohu, and I'm a spiritual cultivator like you, but I do wander around with a lonely person's kind of small spiritual practice." ”
Chu Yang didn't feel it just now, his voice was not ordinarily loud, and his ears hurt a little when he heard it closely, and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, welcome to the Chu family, I hope you can have a good time." ”
"It's too much to call me Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, you can just call me uncle, my relationship with your father is very good. I was sponsored by your father before, and thanks to his kindness, I didn't expect to invite me to this banquet. ”
Chu Yang felt a little strange, he had just heard that a banquet was going to be held in the kitchen, but he didn't care, because this was very common, after all, his family was a businessman, and from time to time some guests who had business dealings would come, and at this time, a banquet would be held to entertain them, and he often participated, so he didn't care. But this time it should be different, it is the people who are invited to attend, then the theme of this banquet is your own family.
Chu Yang bent down slightly and bowed his head and said, "Then boy, I will take advantage of a little bit and call you Uncle Wang, may I ask what is the reason for this banquet?" Well, I'm sorry, I've been in retreat for the past few days and haven't gone out, so I don't know the actual situation. ”
Wang Quan also said strangely: "Don't you know, this banquet is made for your Ning Yuan's success, and it is your advanced ceremony." Your father sent out invitations to acquaintances from all over the world, and there are still many guests resting in the backyard. ”
Chu Yang was a little surprised, but he was not surprised, because his father liked these superficial kung fu very much. He said that he worked hard to make money in order to spend money harder, so he spent as much as he could where he could, and he and Chu Han were also educated in this way.
"Wang Quan, what are you doing here?" a female voice came from the right, and "Holy ......" came a beautiful woman in a black bodysuit.
The woman was originally talking as she walked over, but when she saw Chu Yang, she stopped again, stood in place with her hands on her chest, and looked at Chu Yang with interest.
Chu Yang saw that this woman had been staring at him, and couldn't help but ask Wang Quan next to him, "Doesn't Uncle Wang introduce me?" As for why he asked Wang Quan, because this woman greeted Wang Quan as soon as she appeared, the two obviously knew each other, and it was not good for him to ask the name of a strange woman first.
However, it was not Wang Quan who answered Chu Yang, but the woman herself who said: "Prince Chu Yang, the little woman is a businessman named Shu Yan, this name must have been heard. ”
Chu Yang's face changed slightly, if he guessed correctly, this name was very famous, so famous that even he, a person who was dedicated to cultivation, had heard it.
Shu Yan is the head of the Remnant Fire Chamber of Commerce in the Yuan State Branch, and the Remnant Fire Chamber of Commerce is a huge chamber of commerce across the entire Southern Continent, and its power and strength are not much greater than those of the Yuan Kingdom Kangtu Sect, which can only occupy one country.
Chu Yang immediately put away his usual smile, but put on a serious expression, saluted Shu Yan and said, "It turned out to be President Shu of the Remnant Fire Chamber of Commerce, it was really rude to be here just now." ”
Shu Yan saw Chu Yang's serious appearance and smiled coquettishly: "Young Master Chu doesn't have to be so restrained, the little girl is also here to attend your banquet, just an ordinary guest." You don't have to worry about who I am, I have the same relationship with your father as the king. ”
But Chu Yang didn't relax at all, after all, he was talking to this kind of behemoth that was so much bigger than the Chu family, and if he didn't make a good fuss, it would bring trouble to his family, but Chu Yang still had a smile on his face and said: "After all, I didn't expect a big man like President Shu to come back to a poor country like us, and I didn't expect the famous Lord Chang to be so young and beautiful." ”
"Hehe, Young Master Chu is really good at talking. Shu Yan covered his mouth and said with a smile, then looked at Chu Yang, rolled his eyes, and said, "By the way, I don't know if Chu Gongzi has anything to like?"
"Why did President Shu ask that?"
At this time, Wang Quan next to him patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, I actually forgot to ask about this, Master Chu, please tell us what you like." After all, we are here to participate in your advanced ceremony, so naturally we want to give you gifts, since we want to give gifts, then isn't it better to taste with you?"
After hearing this, Chu Yang waved his hand again and again, "How embarrassing is this, I think you also know about my spiritual cultivation, I am very happy that you can come to my banquet, what kind of gift do you want to give." ”
"How can this be done, the gift still has to be given, this is an invitation sent by your father himself to invite us to come, if you are empty-handed, how can you be embarrassed to enter the banquet hall?"
But although they said this, Chu Yang still politely refused, what kind of joke, the other two are not something that he can easily provoke, although he doesn't know how his father can have such a good relationship with a big man like the branch head of the Remnant Fire Chamber of Commerce, but how good this relationship is, he doesn't know. And Wang Quan next to him knows Shu Yan, obviously not the little spiritual cultivator of a lonely family as he said, at least his strength is not as easy as he said.
And the other two looked at each other helplessly, they just wanted to know what Chu Yang liked, but they didn't expect him to be so careful.
Shu Yan sighed, closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with blue light, and he looked at Chu Yang and said, "Young Master Chu, please look into my eyes." ”
"President Shu, this is ......"
After Chu Yang heard this, he instinctively looked towards her eyes, and then the whole person was suddenly stunned, and the pupils of his eyes became hollow and glowed with the same blue light as Shu Yan.
Beep...... Beep......
Hongguo, who was originally standing quietly on Chu Yang's shoulder, jumped uneasily, it felt that something was wrong with Chu Yang, but it didn't know what was going on, so it could only keep pecking Chu Yang's face with its beak.
"Be quiet, little one. Wang Quan next to Shu Yan stretched out a hand, flicked his fingers, and a small stream of lightning burst out from his fingertips and haunted Hongguo's body, and the body that was still beating instantly stopped and remained motionless.
Shu Yan didn't care about what the royal power next to him did, and said softly: "Young Master Chu, I think you shouldn't have any worries, you can rest assured to tell me the gift you want." ”
When Chu Yang heard this, he naturally showed a smile and said, "Yes, it should be said, in fact, now I am also a spiritual cultivator, if there is a spiritual weapon in hand." ”
Shu Yan and Wang Quan glanced at each other again, and both saw a hint of a smile in each other's eyes, and Shu Yan said to Chu Yang again: "Young Master Chu, then do you want this spirit weapon to be a combat type, a support type, or a defensive type." ”
"Defensive. After all, life is the most important thing. ”
"So what color do you like. ”
"I don't have a requirement for color. ”
"And then there'......"
