Chapter 22: Can There Be ...... in Heaven Dou City
After Zhang Shu was thrown down from the high platform, he silently walked to the edge of the dance hall.
Eating the snacks he took from the servants, he was bored watching the crowd socialize.
He didn't feel embarrassed, and even hoped that this exchange would end like this, and then go back to their respective homes.
……
After a long time, Qiu Beifeng and Prince Xuexing kept raising their glasses and drinking each other, and then talked and laughed a few times, as if there was an endless topic.
At this moment, a servant walked quickly and gracefully to Xuexing's side, bowed his head and whispered.
After hearing this, Xuexing nodded slightly, and the servant walked quickly off the high platform and left the ballroom.
Then a group of servants came in carrying low tables and futons.
"Ladies and gentlemen! This king can be far away from Dean Qiu, I am really happy in my heart, and before I know it, it has come to the time of dinner, and it is my rude to let you wait for a long time! Please take a seat now, and lunch will be in short time. Prince Xuexing gestured with his glass and drank with everyone.
"Hiccup!" Zhang Shu glanced at Xuexing resentfully, he had already eaten snacks and was full.
Almost all the snacks on the plate carried by the dancehall servant went into Zhang Shu's stomach, which was probably one of the reasons why Xue Xing ordered someone to prepare lunch.
When he was young, many nobles sat in order according to their status, with the high platform as the center, and the radiation spread out, with a total of eight circles and four classes.
Prince Snow Star and Qiu Beifeng on the high platform are the first order.
The two circles near the high platform are the marquis' steps, one table for one person; The next two circles are the noble ranks, with a table for two people; Then the remaining four circles are the Soul Master Family Level, and there is a table for four people.
Zhang Shu sat on this step, and Tang Yuehua did it to Zhang Shu's side under Tang San's instructions.
Thanks to the fact that the people from this class of the soul master family are very particular about grouping, so only the three of them are at this table.
Zhang Shu, Tang San, and Tang Yuehua sat down from left to right.
At this time, the servants also brought the dishes to the table with plates that were as smooth as water.
The dishes on each table were the same, and even the soul master family had specially made two servings of food on the table in the fourth circle.
Zhang Shu didn't move his chopsticks because he was full, but just looked at Tang San and Tang Yuehua suspiciously.
It just so happened that Tang San didn't move his chopsticks, so he asked:
"Tang San, why did you come to Heaven Dou City? And who is this one next to you? ”
Tang San smiled and quipped:
"What? Only you are allowed to come to Heaven Dou City, not me? ”
After speaking, seeing Zhang Shu looking at him with a strange expression, Tang San sorted out his facial expressions, gave up a position to expose Tang Yuehua, and introduced Zhang Shu:
"This is my aunt, Tang Yuehua. My dad sent me here because he had something to do. ”
Tang Yuehua waved her hand to Zhang Shu gently, and Zhang Shu also smiled and nodded.
"Hello Auntie!"
"......" Tang Yuehua's waving hand froze for a moment, but after years of etiquette teaching, she immediately returned to normal.
Then he turned away from the two children.
Tang San glanced at Tang Yuehua puzzled, not knowing why she was suddenly angry.
Although Tang Yuehua's expression management was very good, after this year's contact, Tang San gradually became familiar with his aunt. She's just angry like that!
"Hey, Tang San! How have you been in this time? How far have you cultivated? Zhang Shu didn't care about Tang Yuehua's emotions at all, just an ordinary rich woman who didn't even have soul power. He was more concerned about the cultivation progress of Tang San, the protagonist of the Douluo Continent world.
"Me? I studied court etiquette for a year at my aunt's place, in the Yuexuan in Heaven Dou City. It's a shame that he slackened off the cultivation of soul power. Tang San said nonsense without blinking, and there was an embarrassed expression on his face to confuse Zhang Shu.
'Good boy, children also guard? It's not a loss, it's a secret weapon, it's a lot of eyes! ’
Zhang Shu was not to be left behind, and also showed a reassuring expression, saying:
"That's good! Actually, I've been working on all my muscles this year. My teacher said that I was an auxiliary soul master and didn't need to be too anxious to improve my soul power, and asked me to learn more of my ability to fight in close combat, so I didn't have time to cultivate my soul power. I'm afraid of being overtaken by you! ”
Tang San looked at Zhang Shu with questioning eyes and asked:
"How many levels of soul power do you have now?"
"Twenty-five levels, this is still counting the three levels that have been improved by absorbing the soul ring! What about you? Zhang Shu hid his hand and asked Tang San rhetorically.
"Me? I'm not as tall as you! I absorbed the soul ring and only crossed the first level, the twenty-second level. This year, he neglected to cultivate, and now he is only nearly twenty-five levels! ”
In fact, he was already level twenty-six, but he saw that Zhang Shu was hiding private, so he deliberately said that he was one level lower.
Zhang Shu and Tang San looked at each other, with the same sincerity in their eyes. So they each breathed a sigh of relief.
Call~
He didn't see that I was hiding, but I saw that he was hiding! ’
Both of them thought this in their hearts at the same time.
"Ahh Eat vegetables! Eat vegetables! Zhang Shu changed the topic, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of cooked beef, evenly wrapped it in a dipping sauce and ate it in one bite, and at the same time motioned for Tang San to taste it too.
On the high platform, Qiu Beifeng and Snow Star were staggered, and the wine was passed three rounds. The servants who served around him exchanged seven or eight bottles of wine back and forth, but the dishes on the table looked as if they had just come up.
"Brother Qiu, this should be the second meeting between you and me!" Prince Xuexing is an ordinary person in the end, and after drinking three or four bottles of wine, it is already considered a lot, but he is a little drunk, and he gradually lets go of his speech.
Qiu Beifeng is cultivated in his body, and he has not lost his mind by this little wine. Hearing Xue Xing's name, he immediately restrained his smile and said:
"Your Royal Highness, although the old man is a few years older than you, he can't afford to call you this title! Call me Dean Qiu! ”
After speaking, he put his hand on Xuexing's wrist and gave him some soul power to dissolve the alcohol. This made Xuexing come to his senses.
After realizing what he had done, Xue Xing smiled kindly at Qiu Beifeng.
"It's this king Meng Lang!" Then he stood up and faced the door of the ballroom and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Originally, the rule of our exchange meeting has always been to drink and have fun during the day, and meet friends with martial arts at night! But today, the king and Dean Qiu had a good conversation, and they drank too much for a while, and they were a little tired. He said with a tired look on his face.
"So, I decided to meet my friends in advance!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The marquis and nobles in the audience did not say anything, but a group of guests from the soul master family applauded one after another.
It is also strange to say, the soul master family does not say that one generation is prosperous, but at least there is a soul master inheritance from generation to generation. On the contrary, it is extremely difficult for the descendants of high-ranking princes and nobles to appear soul masters.
The reason why Prince Xuexing made this exchange meeting so many people cheered on was because of Xuexing's royal status and the prince's title, and some marquis who wanted to go further would come to the stammer; The second reason is that Xuexing once saved Dugu Bo's life and has the identity of the Title Douluo's life-saving benefactor, and these soul masters are also very willing to come to cheer.
What if Dugu Bo comes one day?
During the drinking and merry-making stage, the princes and nobles held each other together and talked about state affairs. At this time, the soul master family couldn't say a word, and not only would no one pay attention to you, but they would also be demoted to a vulgar martial artist.
In the stage of meeting friends with martial arts, most of the nobles who were ordinary people could only stand by and watch, and the few who had soul power did not dare to go up to fight.
Over time, the two factions gradually became distinct, and they were in a balance where the well water did not interfere with the river water.
After Prince Xuexing finished speaking, he walked down the high platform with Qiu Beifeng.
Everyone stood up, and although they didn't know why, Zhang Shu also stood up.
A group of servants came in in an orderly manner to remove the remaining dishes along with the low table, picked up the futon, cleaned the floor, and put the futon down.
Under Xuexing's arrangement, he and Qiu Beifeng sat at the same table.
The princes and nobles behind him sat down one after another, and some elderly soul masters also sat down.
Only a few young people under the age of twenty were left to step forward.
