After Li Yiyang announced the opening of the banquet, a group of people lined up in an orderly manner and walked to the welcome living room of the City Lord's Mansion. Chen Meng thought about it and followed the team of Yunyue Tower. Su Lian was a little surprised when she saw Chen Meng following behind the team.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't have anywhere to go." Chen Meng was a little helpless.

"There are special seats for the top 10 in every competition. No one to take you? ”

"No, I don't. They're gone, and I don't see anywhere to go, so I'm coming to you. ”

"I guess I'm already looking for you. Come with us. ”

The group walked into Li Yiyang's welcome living room, and Li Yiyang sat at the front, condescending, with a smile on his face.

Below, more than 400 guests sat on both sides, the four gold-trimmed tables on both sides of the top sat the shopkeepers of the four major trading houses, and the next ten silver-edged tables sat the top ten in the competition.

Chen Meng looked at it, as if there was a vacuum. A small guy walked over to the side: "Chen Gongzi, where have you been?" It's hard for us to find. ”

"I'm wandering." Chen Meng shook his head, walked to the empty silver-rimmed table, and sat down.

Everyone sat down in different positions, and Li Yiyang began to speak. Chen Meng didn't listen to what he said at all, his eyes were fixed on a plate of braised bear's paws and a pile of hibiscus bird's nest on the table.

I've never eaten anything so good, and I can imagine how delicious it is just by looking at it.

But Li Yiyang chattered endlessly, from Canglan City to Nanzhan Buzhou, from Nanzhan Buzhou to Wuzhou Continent, from Wuzhou Continent to Dongzhou, and then naturally talked about Chen Meng.

"Therefore, the cultivation of a monk does not depend on where he comes from, what his spiritual roots are, or what his family is, but all about his acquired talent and hard work. Just like Chen Meng Xiaoyou, who won the championship in this competition, is from Dongzhou, a casual cultivator, and the Five Elements Spiritual Root, but so what? You can also compete and stand out. It is not easy to cultivate immortals, don't be easily complacent, and don't seek progress; When you work hard, win the sky! You say yes, Chen Meng Xiaoyou? ”

Li Yiyang looked at Chen Meng, and the eyes of the audience looked at Chen Meng. Chen Meng's eyes are very dedicated to admiring the bear's paw, so thick, so soft, so shiny, this mouthful must be full of oil, just think about it.

"Chen Meng Xiaoyou?" Li Yiyang screamed softly again.

This time, Chen Meng heard it, raised his head, and looked at the eyes of the audience on him, a little embarrassed.

"Huh? Lord of the Castle, is there something wrong? ”

"Chen Meng Xiaoyou, have you ever wanted to enter my City Lord's Mansion as my protégé?" Li Yiyang's words changed, "I can eat the bear's paw of this mountain spirit bear every day." ”

"Protégé?" Chen Meng thought for a while and shook his head, "I am idle in the clouds and wild cranes, I am used to being idle, it is really difficult to discipline, I still thank the city lord for his kindness." ”

Su Lian gasped. Needless to say, Chen Meng definitely didn't know what Li Yiyang's protégé meant in Canglan City—that meant the existence that could walk sideways in Canglan City, unlimited cultivation resources, unlimited exercises, pills, and weapons.

If the lord of the castle asks for an invitation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to refuse. But Chen Meng refused so lightly, looking calm.

"It doesn't matter. It can be seen that Chen Meng Xiaoyou is hungry. I think you're all hungry too. Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a meal. ”

A gong sounded, and everyone raised their glasses in unison: "I wish the city lord an early ascension to the immortal road and a long life!" ”

A glass of wine is toasted, and the table is opened. Li Yiyang only ate a little, and then because he was unwell, he asked his subordinates to help him go back to rest. As soon as Li Yiyang left, everyone exploded. Chatting, frolicking, and quarreling stirred up the living room of the city lord's mansion like a vegetable market.

Chen Meng devoured bear paws and bird's nests, and was patting his stomach and burping. Su Lian came over: "Why did you refuse the invitation of the City Lord's Mansion?" ”

"Don't I say it, I'm used to being free. Let me enter a sect and live in a proper manner, it is better to kill me. ”

"But, you know, it's the City Lord's Mansion. The entire Canglan City is theirs, the people of Canglan City are requisitioned at will, and the resources of Canglan City are used at will. ”

"Oh. How many people do you think they can beat me? Chen Meng found a fishbone toothpick and asked while picking his teeth.

"Okay. Not much, indeed. ”

"The most important thing in cultivation is not any elixir, magic weapon, or exercise, but all things outside the body. The most important thing in practice is to cultivate the mind. Immortals have the ability to ride the wind and go to a person who is at ease, if they are bound by this rule, then what kind of immortal is it. ”

Su Lian was silent. After a long time, she looked at Chen Meng and nodded: "You're right. ”

"Figured it out? I thought you couldn't figure it out. You are the deacon of Yunyue Building, I am a casual cultivator, I never thought that the two of us could still have a common language. ”

"Gongzi Chen, where will you go when everything in Canglan City is over?"

"I'll go to Yunlan City."

"What about after Yunlan City? I don't believe you'll stay in Yunlan City. ”

"And then? Then I will go to Beiju Luzhou and then to Xiniuhezhou. ”

"You're going to travel the entire continent?"

"Not really. Beiju Luzhou is to find gloomy wood, and Xiniu Hezhou has friends and things to entrust. ”

"What happens when all this is over?"

"In three years, I will return to Dongzhou, where someone is waiting for me."

"Are you going to settle down? After all this is over? ”

"Stability? I'd rather be a bird without feet and soar above the clouds for the rest of my life. The day I settled down was the moment I died. ”

"Is this the life you want?" Su Lian was a little incomprehensible.

"This is not the life I want. It's a life I have to do. Sister Su, there are many things you don't know, and you don't need to know. But, that's the fate of sanxiu, isn't it? I don't want to be an ordinary person to live my life plainly, I have my own pursuits, my own persistence, and I have my own things that I have to accomplish. ”

"In this way, I am also at ease and unrestrained." Su Lian nodded, "Otherwise, you can take me with you, go to Beiju Luzhou, then go to Xiniu Hezhou, and then go back to Dongzhou together." ”

"Can you be your deacon? What are you doing wandering around with me? ”

"It's boring." Su Lian shook her head, "I also want to ask about immortality." I don't want to be a deacon and a treasurer, and an elder after being a treasurer, and then go into retreat. ”

Chen Meng pointed at Su Baishan: "If you Yunyue Tower agrees, I have no opinion." ”

"The shopkeeper will agree." Su Lian didn't care.

"You go and ask. As long as he and her nod, I'm sure I'll be fine. Multiple people, multiple companions. ”

Su Lian left and went to find Su Baishan. The two of them got together and whispered for a long time, and then Su Lian came over to find Chen Meng: "The shopkeeper has something to say to you." ”

"What's wrong? Disagree? Chen Meng was a little curious.

"It's not. You'll find out when you go. ”

Chen Meng came to Su Baishan: "Chen Meng has seen his predecessors. ”

"Chen Gongzi, I didn't see that you were extraordinary when I took out the Canglan Pearl, but now I look at you, you are really extraordinary."

"Senior Su has won the award. I was just lucky. ”

"Su Lian said she wanted to travel with you, do you know?"

"I know, she told me."

"What do you think?"

"As long as the senior nods, I definitely agree. The road is far away, there is a lot of loneliness, and many people have many companions. ”

"I agreed. I only have one request, you must guarantee Su Lian's safety. ”

"I can't promise it." Chen Meng shook his head, "I myself can't protect myself sometimes, how can I guarantee her." If you want me to say, safety is not guaranteed by others, but by oneself. Others can only raise flowers in the greenhouse. ”

"That's it. It also makes sense. Although Su Lian and I are superiors and subordinates, I have watched her grow up, and she is not a mother and son, but she is already better than a mother and son. That's it. Individuals have their own chances. Let her go with you. ”

Chen Meng promised, do your best, if Miss Su Lian is in trouble, I will take action. But in the end, I can't cultivate enough, I can only look at her creation. ”

"Go, when you come back from the Yinshi Secret Realm, I'll let her take over the work during this time. When the child is older, he can't stay at home all the time. ”

"That being the case, Chen Meng took his leave." Chen Meng bowed deeply and turned around to leave.

"Chen Meng." Su Baishan stopped Chen Meng. Chen Meng turned around.

"I hope to hear your story here in my lifetime."

"I do my best." Chen Meng smiled.

Returning to his position, Su Lian was still waiting for him, and when he saw that Chen Meng was back, he asked, "What did the big shopkeeper say?" ”

"The big shopkeeper said you should listen to me. Say that you are prone to trouble and do not obey discipline. ”

"You fart!"

"Look, I still don't obey discipline."

Su Lian almost didn't lift the table.

Until the afternoon, after three rounds of wine, five dishes, the sun was slanting in the west, and the wine and food were almost eaten. People are crooked, leaning against tables, leaning on chairs, and spitting.

"How did this group of people drink like this?" Chen Meng followed the team of Yunyue Tower and walked outside the City Lord's Mansion, and saw a dazzling array of drunks on both sides of the road along the way.

"These people are all casual cultivators, and it is common for them to be hungry and full on weekdays." Su Lian explained.

Chen Meng shook his head and sighed: "It's still difficult to do casual cultivation." ”

"I don't know if it's difficult to practice other loose cultivators, I just know that it's not difficult for you to do so. 170,000 spirit stones, you can catch up with the wealth of many small families. ”

"Lingshi naturally has its use, I earn more, and I naturally paint more. You think it doesn't cost you anything to travel the world? ”

"Did you spend a penny living in Yunyue Tower?"

"Isn't that your Yunyue Tower. Are you embarrassed to ask me for money? ”

Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion and returning to Yunyue Tower, Chen Menggang sat down in his room again, and breathed a sigh of relief, when someone knocked on the door outside.

"Come in."

It was Su Lian who came in. "Someone is looking for you, Gongzi Chen."

"Let him in."

"That man is a demon."

"I know."

Gu Li walked in and patted Chen Meng on the shoulder. Su Lian stood at the door, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

"You might as well just come in." There was no light in Chen Meng's room, there were lanterns hanging in the corridor outside, and Chen Meng saw Su Lian eavesdropping clearly, "Anyway, they are all friends on the same road, so it's better to know each other more." ”

Su Lian walked in, and was not polite, sitting on Chen Meng's bed.

"Tell me about it. This is Miss Su Lian, the deacon of Yunyue Tower, and she will go to Beiju Luzhou with me in a few days. ”

"Oh." Gu Li nodded nonchalantly.

"This surnamed Gu Mingli, a member of the Demon Clan of Beiju Luzhou, the guide I invited."

"Oh." Su Lian also nodded nonchalantly.

Chen Meng shook his head, these two people didn't seem to want to see each other. Forget it, let's get down to business.

Gu Li's words interrupted Chen Meng's thinking: "Brother Chen, when can you beat me?" ”

Su Lian frowned, what is this? Although sexual orientation is free, but the two big men are in front of their eyes, blatantly, one wants to beat the other? Oh my God, what is this? What's wrong with this world?

"You two talk slowly, I remember that there are still two accounts at the counter today, so I'll go first." Su Lian was about to slip away immediately.
