Chapter 23: Joining the My Dao Sect
Liang Jian reluctantly followed behind him, still pondering a more complex sword move in her mind, she practiced for a long time, but unfortunately there was no progress. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly bumped into Yan Shi in front of him, I don't know when he stopped, he looked at her with a smile in his eyes and very playfully.
She smiled, then took his arm and walked forward. Yan Shi was slightly stunned, but soon came back to his senses, took her and left. They went to the largest inn in the city, the Fu'an Inn. She raised her head and looked at the luxurious building in front of her with some surprise, how can this inn be found everywhere, was there a national chain at this time in ancient times?!
She looked around, and the dΓ©cor was almost the same as before. If it weren't for the young two in it, she would have thought that she had returned to Nandu.
As soon as I entered, it was very lively, there were many diners, and everyone's dress looked like they were either rich or expensive. A small second-hand is holding a tray, on top of which is a white jade exquisite teapot that looks very cute, and five white jade porcelain teacups look very small. Seeing the two of them come in, he immediately greeted him with joy, "Two guest officers, what should you eat?" β
"I heard that the restaurant has recently launched a new mandarin duck five treasures stew, and then three or two pears are white." After that, he ordered a few delicacies with the car, and then took out three taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er, who directly put the silver in his pocket, and immediately led them to a side room at the end of the second floor, "Please sit down, the little one will tell the kitchen to cook." β
With that, he took a pot of hot tea, put down the tray, and then respectfully closed the door and went downstairs.
"This Fu'an Inn is your property, right?" She took a sip of hot tea, it was really good, the tea was thick, and there was a sweet aftertaste, although she couldn't taste tea, she could taste it as an excellent tea.
"Exactly." He smiled and poured a cup of tea, the tea fragrance was overflowing, quiet and elegant, and it was really a good tea. Silent for a moment, he planned to tell her everything about this side, and now he won't hide it, there is nothing to hide, but he needs to find a suitable time, and today is the most suitable. Who knew that she spoke first.
"Who else is coming?" She propped her chin up, looked at the closed door with some boredom, and said that she would come out and relax, only to come out to find someone.
"Guessed?" He shook the fan and took a sip of tea, this Junshan silver needle does have a unique flavor.
"Well, the restaurant is all yours, and if you really want to find a separate wing, you don't have to find such a corner, unless it's for discussion." She had just passed by so many wings, which were more luxurious than this one, and the location was better, and she could see the scenery or something, so this meal was not to relax.
"That's all?" He looked at her with interest, holding his chin in one hand and playing with his teacup in the other.
"This tea is very expensive at first glance, and it is much better than the tea downstairs, and the tea is hot." She twisted up the teacup and looked at the clear tea inside, and analyzed, although the tea drunk by the people below was good, it was far inferior to this pot, and it was used by the store to entertain distinguished guests. And the little second was holding this pot of tea in his hand at the time, as if he was pinch on time that he would come, and he was ready in advance. The boiling tea indicates that it has just been brewed, and being able to know the time of his arrival so precisely can only mean .......
"...... explanation?" He smiled slightly, looked at the tea in his cup, and asked.
"The explanation knows that you will come, and it is ready in the morning, just waiting for you to come. It's not a whim, it's planned. Even so, there is no need to prepare five teacups, so ...... Three more people? She counted the teacups left on the table, and there were some tea dirt in them, only her own cup was relatively new, presumably Yan Shi and a few others were old acquaintances.
"Four, and one of them has a mouth that's too tricky and doesn't like tea." As soon as the words fell, a person pushed the door in, listening to the voice was very hearty, but he seemed to be a little unconvinced, "What's the fun of drinking tea, it's bland and tasteless, and the spirits are delicious!" β
Liang Jian looked over, and a graceful woman was leaning on the door frame, dressed in purple, with a tall posture. The supple hair is pulled into a fallen bun, and a purple hairband is simply tied, with a face like a peach blossom, slender eyebrows, blazing eyes, and a smile at the corners of the mouth. The temperament is elegant, the spirit is vibrant, and it exudes confidence from the inside out, like the sun, which makes people look bright.
"You're coming fast." He hooked his lips slightly, and even if he listened to the voice with his back to the visitor, he knew who was coming.
"Isn't this a rush to see my brother and sister!" She closed the door and sat next to Liang Jian, took off the wine bag hanging from her waist very familiarly and said, "Next week Wenjun, come, brother and sister, let's have a good drink!" β
Siblings?!! Liang Jian suspected that he had misheard, "Eh, I'm not ......" was about to open his mouth to argue when he was interrupted by Yan Shi.
"She doesn't drink." Yan Shi stretched out his hand to block it, and said helplessly.
"Then you drink tea, I drink, let's do it!" She picked up the wine bag and was about to drink it, but was interrupted by a rustling sound, she impatiently picked up the white jade porcelain teacup on the table and threw it on the beam, "It's good not to be a man, but to be a gentleman on the beam." β
"You can't drink alcohol lately." A boy came down from the beam of the house, dressed in a green robe, with a beautiful appearance, and had the temperament of a dashing son. Looking very familiar, Liang Jian observed carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"You care about me?" Although Zhou Wenjun said this, he put down the wine bag in his hand and turned his head angrily.
"Finally reluctant?" Yan Shi was not surprised, Fang Cai had already noticed that there were people in the room, but this guy always liked to carry it in a corner of the corner, so he followed her.
"It's early, it's a little boring." She shrugged her shoulders, then turned her head to Liang Jian, "Sister-in-law, hello, in Xia Song Bingzhu." Immediately, she turned to Yan Shi and said secretly, "This sister-in-law is quite clever, and the eldest brother has a good eye!" β
"She's not yet." Yan Shi's face was slightly red, and he said a little uncomfortably.
"Oh~" Song Bingzhu said meaningfully, he didn't expect that his eldest brother hadn't chased people yet, this efficiency was not like his usual decisive killing.
οΌοΌοΌ Song Bingzhu? Isn't it the person who ridiculed Xie Haizhi in the Xie family that day, it was dark, she didn't see what the person looked like, she just took a look, I didn't expect this person to be from Yan Shi's side, no wonder it could be so smooth that day, not only someone secretly set fire, but also someone should cooperate with the outside world!
"I've admired my name for a long time, and it's a great honor to see it today." She got up and saluted the two, and Song Bingzhu and Zhou Wenjun also returned the salute very politely. She thought to herself that she seemed to have forgotten something, what was it?
"Where, where, I didn't expect me to be so famous." She was very proud, and secretly pushed Zhou Wenjun with her elbow as if showing off.
"Proud of what!" She snorted disdainfully, she was working in the shadows and was not as famous as her, but so what?! If this Wu Dao Sect leaves her, it won't work! Song Bingzhu just looked at her and laughed unconsciously.
Several people were happily sipping tea and drinking, when a person quietly rolled in through the window, shook off the ashes on his body, and walked over with a slight tidying up of his clothes.
"Yo, Xiaoyin is here?" Zhou Wenjun poured a glass of wine and hit it with internal force, the man took it steadily, and drank it all, "Good wine." β
A person came from behind the screen, with a good demeanor, a tall figure like a proud pine, a cold face like a cold plum, an angular face that was slightly resolute, a dark blue robe with a dark gold painting tiger, a white jade on the waist, and a gentleman's attitude.
Liang Jian was slightly surprised, this is ...... Huangfu Yinri!? She turned her head to look at Yan Shi suspiciously, he just nodded, hooked his lips and said, "Okay, everyone is here today." β
"Huh? Lao Min didn't come? Song Bingzhu looked around, quite puzzled, it stands to reason that this guy usually arrives first when he says that the small gathering, and he is more enthusiastic than anyone else, but it is strange that he has not come today.
"You don't know yet?" Zhou Wenjun looked at Yan Shi, whose face was a little dark, and said with a smile, "That guy was beaten up by Brother Yan, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month." β
"Huh? Why? She was a little surprised, he listened to Yan Shi's words the most, and he was so loyal to Yan Shi that he had done his best to die, why did Brother Yan start?
"Beichenlin seems to be aware of his relationship with us, so he has to act in a scene." He still fanned his fan and said calmly, but the air pressure around him was inexplicably low.
"That's not ......" Song Bingzhu was interrupted by Zhou Wenjun before she finished speaking, she picked up a cup of tea and poured it for her, "Ouch, this tea is good today, old Song, you drink more." β
Liang Jian was suddenly stunned, Xiao Min? Beichen Min? That guy is actually with them? So, they were all acting before? In addition to being shocked, she was also a little angry, and she felt like she was being played around. She frowned and looked at Yan Shi, he looked down at the tea in the cup with a little weakness, this tea is very good today, hahaha.
"So ...... before" She turned her head, recalling the days when Beichen Min tortured her, could it be all a game set up by Yan Shi?
"It's not me, Beichenlin seemed to have noticed my whereabouts at that time, so I went to lure him away first. I don't know......" Yan Shi was a little anxious and quickly explained. He originally wanted to lure away Beichenlin's old fox first, but he didn't expect that when he went back to find Liang Jian, she would be gone.
"Forget it, I believe it." Liang Jian sighed lightly and stopped, just by the fact that he arrived in the dust that day, it could be seen that he would not instruct Beichen Min to do such a thing, besides, after getting along these days, she knows what kind of person he is.
The other people tacitly lowered their heads to drink tea, touched their noses, and looked out the window casually, trying to reduce their sense of presence. Yan Shi still wanted to say something, but looked at Liang Jian's expression and stopped talking.
Suddenly the atmosphere was a little awkward, and for some reason it suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Wenjun wanted to break the strange atmosphere now, and by the way, it didn't seem right to see Huangfu Yinri's face, thinking that it was because of the matter of the Beichen girl, so he wanted to find a topic to distract them.
"Eh, Xiaoyin, don't come to see your sister-in-law, uh, Miss Liang." almost made a mistake, and immediately changed his words when he looked at Yan Shi as if he was glaring.
"I've seen Miss Liang." He came back to his senses, bowed and said very politely.
"Hello." She also replied very politely, she had already seen everyone. She also knew them, looking at the people around her, she didn't understand, did she just come to meet today?
Sure enough, Yan Shi cleared his throat and said, "There are two main things today. First, when Ah Jian joined the Wu Dao Sect, he became one of us. Saying that, he picked up the tea on the table, and several others also raised the teacups and wine bags in their hands, Liang Jian also immediately picked up the teacup when he saw this, a little overwhelmed, he actually came to join the club today? !
"!" Everyone is very enthusiastic to clink glasses, quite a sense of the blood of the rivers and lakes peers, drink it all, although the cup is empty, the heart is indeed full of blood.
"I'm joining?" She's still a little dizzy, isn't it a little sloppy? "Don't you need other rituals, tests or something?"
"Of course, there will be trials." Song Bingzhu poured another cup of tea, tasted the fragrance of tea, and said, "It's just that you have already passed." After drinking, she reached out and snatched the wine bag from Zhou Wenjun's hand, she was secretly pouring a glass of wine from the wine bag, and secretly glanced at Song Bingzhu, and the next second she was taken away from the wine bag and pouted unhappily and ignored him.
"Passed?" She doesn't remember that she was assessed again, isn't it amnesia?
"My Taoist Sect only accepts people based on their character and character, regardless of their achievements and status." Huangfu Yinri then explained, "The person that Brother Yan likes must have an excellent character. β
"As for the rituals or something, the sect doesn't pay so much attention to it, everything is casual, not restrictive, and not cumbersome." Huangfu Yinri smiled slightly, he liked this very much, he was very comfortable and comfortable here.
"That's right! As long as the eldest brother thinks it is good, it must be good! Zhou Wenjun nodded like pounding garlic, in my Taoist sect, what the eldest brother says is what!
"That's right." She kind of understood, and the people who dared to love were testing and observing her all the way. That time I was also a test to play with Beichen Min, right?!
"Ahem, there is a second thing today," Yan Shi felt Liang Jian's eyes like a thousand cuts, his heart was very weak, and he hurriedly wanted to divert the topic, "The matter of the Xie family is not over yet." β
Speaking of this, everyone immediately became serious and returned to their normal colors, and they had to be cautious about their future plans. The affairs of the Xie family must be carefully considered.
"Three months ago, Saiyue defected, causing disturbances in the sect, and the Xie family besieged my dream of returning to the cliff, so shameless." Huangfu Yinri slapped the table angrily and scolded, the last civil strife, the vitality of my Daozong was greatly damaged, and the various families were ready to move, their current situation was a little dangerous, and some people in the Huangfu family had begun to suspect him, and now he was in a difficult situation, and he urgently needed to crack the way.
"I thought that this operation would greatly hurt the vitality of the Xie family, but who knew that this matter would be over." Song Bingzhu held his forehead, quite annoyed, they had planned this operation for a long time, but it was in vain.
"There is the prince's handwriting behind the ghost corpse, and the Xie family is from the prince's side, and in the martial arts for many years, the tree has deep roots. I didn't expect to be crushed with a single blow. Yan Shi was a little calm, and the result was expected, although he was a little disappointed, he was helpless.
"Actually, it's not in vain." Liang Jian said thoughtfully, "The ghost corpse case, even if it is suppressed, will be extremely damaging to the reputation of the Xie family. The families were already afraid of the Xie family, and they would be even more wary of this incident. This is a discordant strategy, maybe we can strike while the iron is hot and guide the families to deal with the Xie family first. β
As soon as she finished speaking, as soon as she looked up, everyone was looking at her, and she said cautiously, "I... Is it wrong? β
