Chapter 177: The Banquet
"Xiaoqing?" Ye Chen only remembered this at this time.
You Ran came to help alone, and Xiaoqing, she is only the strength of the middle stage of Qi refining, even if she wants to help, it is impossible to catch up with the speed of Shang Ran.
"That's right." You Ran took out a piece of silk cloth, wiped a few long swords clean and put them away, and prepared to get up and leave.
"Alas, wait!"
Ye Chen stopped her.
"You're going to go out alone?"
"Or else?"
You Ran glanced at him and didn't pay much attention to him.
"This ......" Ye Chen was stunned, and his performance after swimming up was completely different from what he thought.
According to his thoughts, since You Ran was willing to risk his life to save him, a person who had just met in general, he must have asked for something.
This is the most basic logic.
Nothing is too early, although this sentence is a derogatory term, but for the monks, it is true.
If it is used to describe a monk, then sorry, it basically means that you are not far from death.
Before You Ran and him, there was really no friendship, Ye Chen was grateful for her willingness to remind and help, and at the same time, it did not affect his feeling that You Ran must be planning to get something from him.
He won't feel that there is anything inappropriate, this is the case in the world of cultivating immortals, unless it is said to be a close friend or a blood relative master and apprentice, otherwise it is normal to say the word "benefit" in everything.
Whether it is for Ye Chen or You Ran, it is a good thing.
"I feel ...... under it"
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "If there is no help from the You Fairy this time, I am afraid that it will be more than auspicious at this time, and the righteous action of the You Fairy will be remembered in the next place." ”
"You Fairy will help you this time, and you will definitely ask for something, but you can just say it...... As long as it is within the scope of Zaixia's ability, whether it is an elixir or something else, Zaixia will definitely not be stingy. ”
This is his true thoughts, You Ran's help this time is equivalent to saving his life, if he says that he will give his entire net worth to the other party or something like that, he also feels that it is too much, but within the scope of his ability, no matter how difficult the request is, he must also find a way to try his best to meet it.
You Ran smiled, "Wen Crepe said so much...... Which family are you a freak out of the runaway? ”
"Also, don't call me a fairy, have you ever seen that body cultivator called a fairy?"
"Just call me by name, and you can do it."
"Ahem, okay" Ye Chen also felt a little embarrassed, he actually hadn't communicated much with the children of the big families outside the sect, especially this kind of life-saving friendship.
I thought about it for a long time just now, and I came up with such a thing that I didn't think there was any problem, but I didn't expect that I would have to mock You Ran in turn.
"That'...... Swimming. He hurriedly corrected his salutation, "Is there anything you need to repay for this help?" ”
"Whether it's an elixir or something...... I actually have quite a lot of pills here. ”
He didn't worry about what happened to him because of his leakage of money, through the previous events, it could be seen that You Ran acted in a principled way, at least, at this time, she woke up, and at this close range, Ye Chen was definitely not her opponent.
He can only be regarded as a half-individual cultivator, not to mention that You Ran's cultivation is much higher than him, and the strength of the two sides, in a sense, is really not on the same level.
Even if he had magic weapons such as the black bone sword box on his body, at such a close distance, what did she really think...... Ye Chen really can't stop it.
However, I didn't see what she was going to do.
"No need."
You Ran shook her head, "I didn't save you because I wanted to do anything. ”
"I saved you, Xiaoqing and I begged bitterly."
"So you don't have to feel like you owe me anything, or that I want you or something."
“…… Xiaoqing? ”
In Ye Chen's mind, the inconspicuous figure who always looked like a maid flashed.
It turned out that she was saved this time, and it was caused by her?
"Xiaoqing, isn't she, your maid......"
"It's a maid, that's right."
You Ran glanced at him and said slowly: "Although she is a maid, Xiaoqing actually grew up with me since childhood, and she is said to be a maid, but in fact, there is not much difference between her and her sisters." ”
"What's more...... I won't hide it from you, I'm a member of the You family, and you must have known something about the things before the You family? So in a sense, Xiaoqing is no longer my maid. ”
"Growing up, she almost never begged me for anything, so this time, even if she didn't really want to, I still helped."
Ye Chen smiled bitterly, "...... Actually, it's okay if you don't say the last word. ”
"Naturally." A strand of hair on Youran's forehead fluttered in the air.
"If not, you misunderstand something, then there is no need."
She didn't say a word, that is, this time to help to help, at first I only thought it was a few loose robbers with bad intentions to rob the house, but I didn't expect that there was a variable in the purple skin.
caused her loss this time...... It's not just serious enough to be described as severe.
Ye Chen naturally didn't know more about her thoughts, but after listening to this extremely informative remark, it made him feel even more confused.
To tell the truth, he really didn't expect that he was saved by mistake this time, and the root cause of saving himself was because of Xiaoqing, who had never thought about it.
But Xiaoqing, why do you want to help him?
Recalling the scene where the two once met, there were only two times.
The first time was in the Fang Market, when she was in a state of confusion and accidentally stepped on her own elixir.
I remember that at that time, the bottle of pill was worth dozens of spirit stones, and Xiaoqing's foot accidentally stepped on the jade bottle, according to the rules, of course, he had to pay for it.
At the last time, you have to buy it at the market price.
She obviously couldn't afford to pay for this spirit stone at that time, and her face turned white with fright.
Ye Chen saw that there was nothing wrong with the elixir in the jade bottle, so he didn't care, and kindly let her go.
The second time, a few days ago, I went to make a deal with You Ran to heal her.
At that time, in a sense, the two of them also helped Ye Chen, helping him kill a robber who knew his details and almost escaped.
After these two meetings, Ye Chen asked himself, Ye Chen felt that he didn't have much favor for the second daughter and Xiaoqing - let her not pay for the spirit stone and their help in that alley later, in fact, it could be cleared up.
In the subsequent transaction, he needed Zhuji Dan and the second daughter needed healing pills and other pills, which was just a transaction in itself, but in fact, it could be regarded as two clear.
He really couldn't imagine why Xiaoqing wanted to say that he would do him a favor because of the relationship between the two sides.
Although what You Ran said was that Xiaoqing was no longer her slave, in fact, this current relationship is not much different from that of a loving master and servant.
can say that no matter how good their relationship is, it will be a waste of effort to think about Xiaoqing.
In the late stage of Qi refining, it is definitely not a role for You Ran to deal with.
What's more, in the final battle, they also fought quite hard.
Even Ye Chen himself was beaten into a coma, although he didn't know what means You Ran used to defeat the purple-skinned man, but seeing that a body cultivator in her hall would be overdrawn and fall asleep, thinking about it, it would definitely not be a means without a price.
This time, the kindness of the second daughter's assistance was so great that Ye Chen felt that he couldn't do anything too much, even if he omitted the possible sacrifices of You Ran in the back, just being willing to face an entire seven-person team in the late stage of qi refining in order to help him, this kindness was already extremely great.
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, "Then again, aren't you curious, our identity?" ”
By now, he had known You Ran's identity, but their identities had never been mentioned.
"Curious about what?" You Ran smiled, "To be able to let so many Danxian Sect disciples chase and kill, do you still need to think more about your identity?" ”
“……”
Ye Chen was speechless.
"Alright." You Ran took another step out.
"If you're fine, then don't delay me to find Xiaoqing."
"Wait!"
Ye Chen stopped her again, thought about it, and pushed out half of the loot in front of him.
The part that was launched was all about pills and the like, as well as the books he had sorted out that recorded the list of pills.
"You can make me not have to be grateful to you, but please keep these pills, these things don't have much effect on me, but for you, I want to come to this secret realm to have a lot of effect."
Now that the Kui Yuan Secret Realm is completely separated from the outside world, he may not lack the Spirit Herb Pill, but for other cultivators, it is not the case at all.
You Ran saw that he insisted again and again, and after thinking about it, he did not refuse.
After putting her things away, she stepped out of the formation, "If it goes well, I can come back in half a day, and if anything happens, I'll talk about it later." ”
With these words, she moved and walked away at a speed comparable to Edgeworth's flight.
Ye Chen glanced at her back, and felt that his mood was not very stable.
After looking back and checking it, he found that Qu Zhaozhao's state had improved a lot at this time, but there was still a certain distance from the full recovery of his injuries.
After thinking about it, he stopped wasting time, used his mana, and began to speed up Qu Zhaozhao's healing.
……
After a lapse of 100,000 miles, Qingyun Sect, Jueyun Mountain.
As one of the three mountains of Qingyun Sect, it is not as full of aura as Qingyun Mountain where the old monsters above the Qi Formation Stage live, nor is it as magnificent as Luoyan Mountain where the disciples of the Qi Refining Period live.
Jueyun Mountain can be said to be the most inconspicuous peak among the three mountains, and the people living in it are basically disciples of the foundation building period.
As the true mainstay of the sect, the Zhuji disciples were responsible for the really important affairs of the Qingyun Sect both inside and outside, such as giving lectures to the Qi refining disciples, or slaying demons and eliminating demons outside.
It can be said that for a big sect like Qingyun Sect, only a disciple in the foundation building period can really be regarded as a recognized member of the sect.
The disciples of the Qi Refining Period, or the disciples of the Qi Refining Period, are just reserves.
As one of the famous alchemists of Jueyun Mountain, Zhao Qiao, who had just broken through to the late stage of foundation building, could be said to be a famous sweetheart even among the hundreds of foundation building disciples of Qingyun Sect.
The white face is beardless, the face is like a crown of jade, and the figure is tall, although the body is a little richer, but standing in the crowd, he still looks brilliant enough.
This was a banquet, and almost half of the foundation building disciples of the Qingyun Sect had already arrived.
Except for those who are in retreat and have a mission, or those who are sent out and cannot return to the sect, almost all the disciples who are free in the sect have come.
It can be seen how strong Zhao Qiao's appeal is.
The reason why the foundation building disciples of the Qingyun Sect are so face-saving is not only because of the identity of this person-the Dan Dao genius who is almost comparable to Uncle Baoxuzi in terms of alchemy talent, and is very likely to succeed in marrying Dan in the future, but also because the Qingyun Sect has been suppressed for a long time, and these people's depressed mood may not have been released for a long time.
The war between the Qingyun Sect and the Danxian Sect, in the eyes of many third parties, as long as it doesn't affect them, they don't even feel anything.
But for the disciples of the two sects, especially the disciples of the foundation building period, it was a real war and fighting.
The disciples of the Qi Refining Period, due to the limitation of their cultivation, it is difficult to travel long distances to fight, and they can basically only fight around those immortal cities and garrisons, and their combat effectiveness is very limited without supplies.
But the foundation monks are different.
They are true Edgeworth flights, capable of traveling thousands of miles a day without much consumption, and can maintain their combat effectiveness at all times.
In the battle between the sects, they are the main characters.
As for going up, when you reach the realm of Yudan, it can be said that you are no longer an ordinary pawn, and your every move will be watched by all parties.
At this level, it is not easy to fight, from a certain point of view, unless it is really a bet on the fate of the sect, the monk of the Jiedan will not make a move easily.
Therefore, generally speaking, the battles between sects and sects tend to stay at the level of foundation building monks.
The foundation building monks of the sect, who had undertaken most of the combat tasks, were naturally very busy.
Thanks to the appearance of the giant who disturbed Yunzhou some time ago, the war between the two sides stopped for a short time, so many of them seized this opportunity to return to the sect to rest.
Therefore, the time of Zhaoqiao's banquet can be said to be just right.
Not only those in the sect who are willing to give him face, but also many other foundation building monks who have returned to rest, even if they are self-righteous and not interested in the matter of tending to the flames, they will be willing to participate in this banquet because of their willingness to be suppressed for too long.
Therefore, this banquet, in a sense, in addition to Zhao Qiao's celebration, is more of an opportunity for the Qingyun Sect foundation building monks to relax themselves.
The banquet had already begun, and the wine table alone filled the entire compound.
During the banquet, Zhao Qiao sat on the main seat, and there were not many people who came to toast.
Zhao Qiao's face was full of red light, and he dealt with them one by one, and when the banquet continued, and finally there were fewer people toasting, he finally had a chance to breathe.
Glancing at the lively venue, he smiled on his face, but he was actually a little uneasy.
"Nothing has happened so far...... What is that man's intention for asking me to gather so many people......
