Chapter 10: Luncheon

"Of course." Shi Cheng replied.

"Luncheon? I thought you would bring lunch to my room today. Why didn't the white butler tell me? Wu Tianshi was a little puzzled.

"That's right, this is a temporary decision of your lord this morning, originally I was going to go to the Heavenly Master to report it to you before the banquet. But...... But I couldn't find you in your residence just now, there was really no way, so the villain could only go to Mr. Shi first, but I didn't expect you to be here with Mr. Shi. Bai Tao replied.

Shi Cheng turned his head and glanced at Wu Tianshi meaningfully, "Wu Daoyou's schedule this morning is really close, I don't know if the people in the Xuanmen do things so much?" ”

Wu Tianshi was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, his body shook slightly, and he blocked the package he was carrying in his right hand more tightly. Bai Tao didn't quite understand the meaning of Shi Cheng's words, and was a little puzzled and stunned. In order to quickly move the topic away, Wu Tianshi immediately opened his mouth and said to Bai Tao with a slight stump: "Oh, that, there is Lao Baitao in charge." Shi Daoyou, look at this noon, it's not early, let's hurry up and sit down, but don't make the host's family wait for a long time. ”

"That's that, fortunately, Wu Daoyou hasn't had time to eat yet, and he has a good mouth at noon today. Butler, I'll bother you to lead the way. ”

"Yes, two gentlemen, please come with me." Bai Tao bowed, and then stood in front to lead the way. Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi followed, and the other servants followed behind, divided into two columns on the left and right.

Everyone walked forward slowly, and after walking about a cup of tea, everyone entered a strange stone forest together. After bypassing a few rocky mountains covered in green vines, a gazebo came into view. The pavilion is located in the center of a pond, and although it is simply decorated, it is quite atmospheric, and it looks like a heroic man riding on the waves against the backdrop of the blue waves.

When everyone walked to the poolside, they saw Bai Gui already waiting outside the pavilion. Bai Tao took two quick steps, walked in front of Bai Gui, and said respectfully: "Master, the little one has invited the two gentlemen. ”

Bai Gui nodded, walked towards the stone, Wu and the others, arched their hands, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly saw the package in Wu Tianshi's hand, and couldn't help asking, "Heavenly Master, what is this package?" ”

Wu Tianshi hurriedly hid the package behind him, and said with a forced smile on his face: "Oh, this, this Heavenly Master has just been itchy for a while, so he took the initiative to find a stone Taoist friend to learn about his cultivation experience. It's a talisman or something. ”

"I see." With a look of envy on his face, Bai Gui said to the two: "As a martial artist, if Bai Gui can cultivate to the realm of the two gentlemen, it will not be in vain in this life." This time, my Bai family is in crisis, thanks to the help of the two of them. Today, Bai Gui set up a banquet to express his gratitude, and when the matter is resolved, my Bai family will definitely have another thank you to the two gentlemen. Mr. Shi and Wu Tianshi are both people who have seen the world, and I am a small western city in Redwood City, and there is really nothing I can handle. Today's wine and food are also shabby, and please don't blame the two gentlemen. ”

"The white housekeeper is too modest, and it is the duty of the next to cure the sick and save people."

"Subduing demons and eliminating demons is originally the duty of the people in my Xuanmen, and this Heavenly Master is just doing what he should do."

The three of them were polite for a while, and then walked towards the pavilion together, and when they walked into the pavilion, Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi found that there was already another person waiting there.

The person waiting there was Bai Xuan, Bai Xuan looked at the three people who were walking towards her, stood up, and blessed the three of them. After the three of them returned the salute, everyone took their seats.

Before Bai Xuan took her seat, she bowed slightly to Shi Cheng, "Mr. Shi, Bai Xuan was very offended when she met Mr. for the first time today, please don't blame Mr." ”

Shi Cheng was stunned for a moment before he realized why Bai Xuan was apologizing.

He smiled and waved his hand, and after saying a few polite words that he didn't take to heart, he beckoned Bai Xuan to sit down as soon as possible.

Although the rules of etiquette in Redwood City are not as strict as those in the big city, the Bai family is also the largest family in the local area, Bai Xuan, as the eldest lady of the Bai Mansion, usually rarely goes out, this time it is the first time she has sat down with so many men, the little girl can't help but bow her head slightly shyly, raise her head from time to time, and just look at Wu Tianshi, after a while, she lowered her head again, and her face became even redder.

Shi Cheng had already noticed Bai Xuan's small movements, and he also laughed secretly in his heart, but it was also understandable that Wu Tianshi had a slender figure, a handsome face, and a Heavenly Master robe that also added a lot of color to himself, and it was really difficult to find another such beautiful man in this small mahogany city.

In addition, when Wu Tianshi's hand technique was used, even an old fritter like Bai Gui was bluffed, let alone a little girl who didn't know much. When Shi Cheng first entered Redwood City, he heard passers-by talk about a lot of things about Bai Xuan, he knew that Miss Baifu was not yet an adult this year, and it was at the age when girls had the most beautiful imagination of love, when they met a man like Wu Tianshi, it was normal for the little girl's love and worship to be aroused.

The dishes at the luncheon were so delicate that Shi Cheng had an illusion. He almost forgot that he was now in a small town surrounded by yellow sand on three sides, but felt like he was in a bustling water town enjoying fresh dishes prepared by local chefs. It can be seen that the Bai family really put a lot of effort into entertaining Shi and Wu.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was almost in the same place, Shi Cheng directly started the conversation and chatted with Bai Gui about family life.

"Butler Bai, Shi has also visited a lot of places in your mansion this morning, and the people I have seen in Baifu, in addition to the old master, the eldest lady and you, are domestic servants and maids. I wonder where the other elders in your house have gone? Is it the same business as the white prince? Shi Cheng asked curiously.

"Yes, Butler White. It's been almost three days since I came to your mansion, and I haven't seen anyone else in the Bai family, so I don't know what's going on? Wu Tianshi, who had been picking up rice in his mouth like a hungry ghost before, also stopped at this time.

Hearing the question asked by the two, Bai Xuan's face suddenly became sad, Bai Gui's face was also a little heavy, and he replied: "I can't hide it, my Bai family is sparse now. Now the core members of the Bai family, in addition to the head of the family, there are only two brothers and sisters, the eldest prince and the eldest lady. ”

Hearing this answer, Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi couldn't help but glance at each other, both of them were very surprised.

"Since the end of the Lu Rebellion twenty-six years ago, there has been a constant war between the main forces of the entire Southern Wilderness, and our Western Desert and Dongdan Kingdom have been fighting each other for four years before they completely ceased. Alas, in those years, business was really difficult to do. The eldest brother of the head of the family, as well as the eldest lady's two young uncles, all died at the hands of the Lu clan. The people who originally lived in Redwood City were killed by the Lu tribe, and finally the chaos ended, and many people fled from the war between the countries. At that time, the caravan at home was not even able to gather people, and the young master, that is, the father of the eldest lady, had to go out in person and travel with the caravan. As a result, he was killed by a group of rebels who fled back from the front line halfway through. ”

When Bai Gui said this, Bai Xuan on the side already had red eyes and lowered his head.

"At that time, the eldest lady had just been born, and the young lady was overly worried after hearing the bad news, and finally ........" Bai Gui choked up a little, and he couldn't speak anymore after half of his words.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." Shi Cheng looked at the master and servant in front of him, not knowing what to say to comfort them. Wu Tianshi on the side also put down his chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "If this world is a peaceful and prosperous world that is harmonious every year, it would be great." ”
