Chapter 41:-for-tat
When Xu Le took off his invisibility cloak and suddenly appeared in front of everyone, those guests who had not been aware of Xu Le's existence before couldn't help but be amazed, marveling at Xu Le's magic, and being able to silently avoid the strict guards of the Nalan family and come to this banquet hall.
Of course, many people noticed that Xu Le was able to do this because of the cloak in his hand, and even though many people asked questions, but Xu Le didn't mean to answer this, and directly put the invisible cloak into the ring, and glanced at Chen Shuai intentionally or unintentionally.
Sensing the vague smile on Xu Le's face when he looked at him, the subtle anger on Chen Shuai's face was suddenly replaced by shock. At this moment, he had the idea that Xu Le had seen through his disguise, but after receiving the system's affirmative answer that Xu Le did not use any system detection methods, Chen Shuai breathed a sigh of relief and took his previous feelings as an illusion.
But no matter what, the invisible cloak should have belonged to him, and he should have been in the limelight in front of everyone, but now it is cheaper than Xu Le, which finally made Chen Shuai extremely unhappy in his heart, and his hatred for Xu Le became stronger and stronger.
Nalan Su saw that it was Xu Le, and immediately waved his hand to ask the secret archer to remove the bow and crossbow. Although he was very dissatisfied with Xu Le's trespass into Nalan Mansion, Xu Le was not an ordinary alchemist, but another alchemist with a strange fire, and he couldn't be offended at will.
Previously, Xu Le was lukewarm to the invitation of the Nalan family and never responded, which showed Chen Shuai's initiative even more, making people feel that the hope of the old man Nalan was in Chen Shuai.
And now that Xu Le has appeared and come to Nalan's house in person, this means that things are still taking a turn for the better, and with Xu Le's competitor, they must no longer have to be monopolized and restrained by Chen Shuai.
Nalan Yanran, who was dressed in a pure white skirt and dressed up, saw that Xu Le really appeared, and the eyes that had turned into stagnant water suddenly made waves, and the big stone blocked in her heart suddenly fell to the ground, making her feel relaxed, and unconsciously looked at Xu Le with a charming smile, but unfortunately Xu Le did not look at her at this time, but was 'communicating' with Concubine Ya.
"Don't make a fuss, if you want to do anything, go back and do it again, Yanran is looking at you. Concubine Ya's face turned crimson, and she resisted in a low voice.
Xu Le smiled slightly, stopped in moderation, and walked straight to Nalan Ji's main table.
Nalan Jian had never seen Xu Le before, but looking at everyone's reactions, he also guessed that he was not far from ten, and knew that the young man in front of him was Xu Le, a different fire alchemist who had a good relationship with the Xiao family in Utan City.
Nalan Jian was already sorry for the Xiao family, coupled with his disgust for Chen Shuai, when he saw Xu Le at this time, he actually took the initiative to get up and leave the table to meet Xu Le.
"This must be Master Xu Le, he is really young and promising, young and promising. Nalan laughed heartily.
"Old man Nalan is polite. Xu Le smiled and clenched his fists in return.
"Come on, come on, sit down. Nalan Ji didn't say anything polite, and showed his importance to Xu Le with practical actions.
Xu Le naturally didn't be hypocritical, and after pulling out a stool and sitting down, he found that Nalan Yanran was beside him, and he occupied the position of Nalan Su, the old son of the family.
Although Nalan Su was embarrassed, he didn't care too much, and after sending someone to change Xu Le with brand new dishes and chopsticks, he sat down on the other side of Nalan Yanran.
"Mr. Xu is really happy to be here today, and I would like to give Mr. a glass here. With an intoxicating smile on her face, Nalan Yanran raised her glass to Xu Le.
"Hehe" Xu Lewei smiled, also raised his glass, and then drank it all, looked at Nalan Yanran with a slightly surprised gaze, and said, "Miss Nalan today is very different from the past." ”
Without waiting for Nalan Yanran to respond, Xu Le's gaze swept over the prince and Chen Shuai.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I can't imagine that Brother Chen is actually carrying Xuanhuangyan, which is really extraordinary. Xu Le pretended to be polite and sighed.
"Hehe, Brother Xu's Qinglian Earth Heart Fire is not weak, I really want to learn from Brother Xu when I have the opportunity. Chen Shuaipi said with a smile.
"But yes, but I'm afraid it won't work today, because I'm here for the poison on the old man Nalan, and I have to help the old man get rid of the poison first. Xu Le said lightly, as usual, as if this was just an ordinary trivial matter.
When Xu Le's words fell, the audience was silent, and everyone looked at Xu Le in shock.
As we all know, today's banquet was originally because Chen Shuai wanted to take action to remove poison for Nalan Ji, but now he killed a Xu Le halfway, without mentioning any conditions, and swore to remove poison for the old man.
After a brief silence, the banquet hall suddenly resounded with the sound of noisy discussions.
"Sister Yafei, you are so familiar with that Xu Le, you should know something, right?" the little princess asked quietly.
"Just look at him like that, you must be very sure that it will be like this. Concubine Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but secretly roll her charming eyes at Xu Le, thinking that she would not be discovered, but the next moment she saw Xu Le's honey smile again, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
At the main table, the three of Nalan Su's ancestors and grandsons were stunned when they heard Xu Le so straightforwardly propose to remove poison for Nalan Ji, and after confirming that it was not his own auditory hallucination, Nalan Su's face suddenly appeared excited, and Nalan Ji even said yes.
"Master Xu Le really has a bearing, compared to some people's villain faces, just this kind of bearing is to throw him off I don't know how many streets. Nalan Ji sarcastically said mercilessly, so that Chen Shuai on the side almost exploded his lungs.
Listening to the sarcasm of almost the audience, Chen Shuai took a few deep breaths to calm down his mood, sneered twice, and said loudly: "Brother Xu, you are really a big breath, do you know how difficult it is to enter the human body with different fire to remove poison, in my opinion, the old man Nalan is quite poisoned, even if he can use different fire to remove poison, it is impossible to complete it in one day, it will take at least seven days." ”
"Oh?" Xu Le had a playful smile on his face, "You think it will take seven days, it's because you~no~ can." ”
Xu Le said word by word.
Hearing this, Chen Shuai's face suddenly turned pale, and it took a long time to calm down his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are so sure, then do you dare to compete with me to see who can remove more poison for Old Man Nalan within the specified time?"
"Why don't you dare? Some people have taken advantage of my retreat to spread some harsh rumors, and I think it's time to clarify. Xu Le grinned, looked at Nalan Ji, and asked, "Old man?"
"Well, if that's the case, the old man will give up this old life. Nalan slammed the table and yelled in a rebellious manner.
