Chapter 54: No Face
"Well, well said! Sure enough, he used to be a reader! Everyone applauded when they heard this, but Nangong Yue's expression was a little ugly.
"Haha, junior brother, Ji Yan! Good words! Zheng Xinghan laughed heartily, raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
After paying homage to the birthday star, the next step is a lot more casual.
Everyone was staggered, talking and laughing.
Qin Ziling had only been in the inner courtyard for a few months, and he had only come to the boxing academy once in a long time, so he didn't have much friendship with the disciples of the inner courtyard, plus his situation was the worst among everyone, and he had a holiday with Nangong Yue, so except for Zheng Xinghan, almost no one took the initiative to talk to him.
Qin Ziling was also happy to be quiet, and buried himself in eating and drinking.
It just so happens that he has been a little tight recently, these are all great supplements, and if he can eat more, he will naturally eat more.
Lu Taiqiang and Nangong Yue saw that Qin Ziling was just eating and drinking, and their eyes looked at him with a hint of ridicule and contempt, while Luo Yuke was disgusted, but Shen Xiujin, Yu Yan and Mu Xuan saw this and quietly accelerated the frequency and speed of eating.
Relatively speaking, the family background of the three of them is worse than that of Nangong Yue and Luo Yuke.
"Ziling, speaking of which, it's the first time you've been drinking with us when you enter the inner courtyard. Today, I, as a senior brother, propose that you give a glass to all the senior brothers and sisters here. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zheng Xinghan suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to Qin Ziling.
"Yes, yes, Ziling, in the past, when newcomers enter the inner courtyard, they want to invite guests to dinner. We all know your situation, and you will be exempted from having a meal, today, since Senior Brother Zheng has proposed, you have to give us senior brothers and sisters a drink. Mu Xuan took the lead in coaxing.
Yu Yan and Shen Xiujin also nodded in agreement, Lu Taiqiang looked like he was watching a play, Luo Yuke's expression was a little subtle, and Nangong Yue looked at Qin Ziling with his eyes, with a posture that people couldn't climb.
Qin Ziling looked at Nangong Yue's bird-like appearance, although his heart was as disgusting as swallowing a fly, but Zheng Xinghan had good intentions, today is his birthday banquet again, if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Qin Ziling naturally doesn't want to give him face, and he doesn't want to disturb the atmosphere of the birthday banquet, besides, this wine is good wine, why not drink it if you can take the opportunity to drink more, so he quickly got up with a smile and said: "Haha, Senior Brother Zheng, Sister Pastor said this, it's really wrong for me." Then today, I will borrow Senior Brother Zheng's wine and flowers to offer Buddha, or I will pay tribute to Senior Brother Zheng first. ”
Zheng Xinghan smiled when he saw this and toasted the wine.
After paying tribute to Zheng Xinghan, Qin Ziling then paid tribute to Lu Taiqiang.
Lu Taiqiang didn't get up, sat on the chair and accepted the toast with a grin, looking like a son's arrogance.
Qin Ziling didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled and filled himself with another glass, this time, before Qin Ziling could speak, Zheng Xinghan had already smiled and said: "Ziling, now Nangong Yue is already a martial artist at the iron level, you should respect Nangong Yue first for this cup." ”
"Good!" Qin Ziling responded very simply.
"Senior Brother Zheng, forget it on my side!" But Nangong Yue didn't sell Zheng Xinghan's face at all, and when he saw Qin Ziling nodding and simply responded, he waved his hand at Zheng Xinghan casually.
Except for Qin Ziling, who still had a faint smile on his face, everyone's faces changed on the spot, even Lu Taiqiang was no exception.
Although this Lu Taiqiang has always been a wealthy son, with an arrogant and high-minded posture, he still has a sense of belonging to the Cold Iron Fist Academy.
"Nangong Yue, everyone is a fellow disciple, you are boring like this!" Lu Taiqiang couldn't help frowning and said.
"Brother Lu, this is my business!" Nangong Yue said.
Lu Taiqiang almost flipped the table on the spot when he heard this, but in the end he held back.
At this time and then, now Nangong Yue is a recognized genius disciple of the Han Tie Academy, and he has won Zuo Le's attention, and it is very likely that he will be the next strength martial artist.
Zheng Xinghan took the opportunity of the birthday banquet to let Qin Ziling and Nangong Yue shake hands and make peace, in fact, it was precisely because of this that he was worried that Qin Ziling would suffer a big loss in the future.
"Humph!" Lu Taiqiang snorted coldly, and stopped talking with a gloomy face.
Yu Yan and the others saw that Nangong Yue didn't even give Zheng Xinghan and Lu Taiqiang face, so naturally they wouldn't be bored.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became dull.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's actually good." Seeing this, Qin Ziling suddenly smiled and said, and then casually raised his glass to Yu Yan and said, "Senior Brother Yu, I respect you." ”
As his name suggests, Yu Yan is a relatively taciturn person among the inner courtyard brothers, and his facial expression does not change much, just like the rock.
"Good!" Yu Yan got up with the wine and drank it all.
After respecting Yu Yan, Qin Ziling paid tribute to Shen Xiujin and others one by one, and Luo Yuke also paid respect.
Because of Qin Ziling's behavior, the atmosphere in the private room eased up slightly, but after this toss, everyone's mood became very delicate.
Zheng Xinghan and Lu Taiqiang were annoyed in their hearts, while Yu Yan and others were heavy and a little depressed.
Because although the situation of Yu Yan and the others is better than Qin Ziling, it is not much better, if they can't break through to the iron level in the future, Qin Ziling's encounter of being humiliated in front of them today is very likely to be their turn one day.
Luo Yuke's mood was a little complicated, on the one hand, she felt that Nangong Yue's approach was indeed a bit excessive, and on the other hand, Nangong Yue's flamboyant style made her heart move.
This is a man who is really capable, not like Qin Ziling, who just has a good skin and sells some poetry and words, in fact, he is nothing in front of Nangong Yue, and he can only endure being humiliated in person, and he lives a very humble life.
Among the crowd, it was Qin Ziling's heart that stood still, as if nothing had happened, and after a round of wine and toasting, he sat down and ate and drank again.
Two lives, and the fusion of the remnant soul consciousness of a generation of Demon Sect Grandmasters, what is this humiliation on the face, it is just a child's house, it is not painful or itchy, how can it affect his state of mind.
Besides, Nangong Yue's eyes will be repaid, and all his thoughts are shown on his face, and people who don't have any city government at all are just a little flea to Qin Ziling, and he can't pose a threat at all, if he really wants to jump so badly, dare to do anything bad, he will slap him to death.
Before that, he would jump if he liked to.
Zheng Xinghan and the others watched Qin Ziling bury his head in eating and drinking, naturally he had another idea, and his mood couldn't help but become more and more complicated, while Nangong Yue looked proud.
A happy and lively birthday banquet that was supposed to be happy soon ended in a relatively dull scene because of Nangong Yue.
"Ziling, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this Nangong Yue to ......" On the way back, Zheng Xinghan patted Qin Ziling's shoulder, showing self-blame.
"Hehe, senior brother, don't say that, you are also for my good, I know in my heart. And that's fine, it's kind of to make things clear. Qin Ziling interrupted Zheng Xinghan with a smile, but when he said the last sentence, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He will not affect his mood because of the birthday banquet, but after the birthday banquet, he will have no worries about friendship at all, and he will have no bonds.
Otherwise, everyone is the same master, and there will be some worries and fetters in our hearts.
