Yaocheng, is the northernmost part of the Chu Water Country, a town that completely belongs to the cultivators, because the back of Yao Mountain, the left side of Yaoshui and get the name, according to legend, in ancient times, this place is barren, but because of a great monk who ascended to the immortal realm was born here and is widely known.

Now on the top of Nayao Mountain, there is also an ancestral hall dedicated to the great supernatural monk, called Yaoxian Temple.

In addition, because the geographical location of the city is at the junction of the Chu Water Kingdom and the Jiufeng Kingdom, the transportation between the north and the south is convenient, the business economy is prosperous, and the forces in the city are even more numerous, mixed with fish and dragons, especially the news that the Yuehe Sect and the Fengyang Gate are about to start a war has spread, and there are many outsiders in the city immediately, there are spies of various forces, there are people from the Xiuzhen family who came to take refuge from the Jiufeng Kingdom, and there are also the secret forces of the four major sects of the Chu Water Kingdom.

There are only two city gates in Yaocheng, north and south, and at this moment, at the south gate, a group of three people followed the flow of people and walked in.

Among the three, in the middle was a young man, handsome, holding in his left hand a little girl of about eight or nine years old, the little girl was cute, with a pair of big round eyes, looking curiously at everything around her.

To the right of the man is a young woman with a delicate face, although her appearance may not be outstanding, but her temperament is beautiful and refined, walking on the lively streets, and from time to time it will attract the attention of some people.

It's just that when those who were paying attention saw the cultivation of these three people clearly, they immediately withdrew their gaze, lowered their heads and quickly left, never daring to take another look.

The pair of young men and women who seemed to be Taoist couples actually had the cultivation of the late stage of the Yudan, and the eight or nine-year-old little girl was even more amazing, at such a young age, it was already the foundation of the Great Perfection.

"His grandmother's, they shouldn't be a family of three, right? Seeing that they are all so young, their cultivation is so high, and their qualifications should be so rebellious, I think they should be the core clansmen of a certain big family of cultivating immortals. ”

There were many spies sent by various forces to listen to the news at the tea stalls on the street, and at this moment, after the three of them left, several of them directly began to discuss.

"Coming from the south city gate, it should be someone from the side of Chu Shuiguo, now the top ten Xiuzhen families in Chu Shuiguo, the Song family has been destroyed, the Li family, the Chen family and others have long been attached to the Yuehe Sect, and only the southernmost Yang family and the He family in the west have not expressed their position, but I don't know which family these three people are from?"

Not to mention these people, after the young man and woman who seemed to be a family of three walked out of a street, the woman looked at the man with a smile on her face and said in a low voice: "Husband, we seem to be being targeted." ”

"Now the situation in South Thailand is complicated, the water here is very muddy, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, we don't have to pay attention. ”

The young man replied lightly, without the slightest concern in his words.

"Ah, it's so fragrant, Brother Qiao, I want to go in and eat. Suddenly, the little girl who had been being led by the man jumped up, pointed to an extremely hot restaurant on the side of the street, and shouted excitedly.

Drunken Immortal Building, the man looked up at the plaque of the restaurant, his heart couldn't help but be in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled at the little girl and replied, "Go." ”

These three people were none other than Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen, who had come all the way from Huayun City, and Xiao Qianqian, who had been playing with the blue-eyed qilin in the Ten Thousand Forbidden Towers for a few days.

Walking into the restaurant, immediately the little two who had the spirit came to greet him, and saw that the three of them had a good temperament, and at the same time, the little two's eyes lit up, and his heart began to complain, only to remember that the business in the store is booming now, and the private rooms on the second and third floors are occupied, if these three people insist on asking to go to the second and third floors, then what should be good.

With a smiling face and a worried heart, the shopkeeper came to Qiao Yuan and said with a smile: "Hello three guest officers, I don't know if the three have reservations?"

Qiao Yuan shook his head and glanced around, the business of this restaurant is really good, the first floor is almost full.

"The three guest officers, I'm really embarrassed, if you don't have a reservation, you can only grieve the three of you on the first floor. The shopkeeper replied resignedly, and he was very afraid that the person in front of him would be angry, after all, he was also a monk, and he could feel the goodness of Qiao Yuan and the others.

Frowning slightly, Qiao Yuan looked down at Qianqian, and saw her pulling her sleeves with her eyes and pursing her lips to show a very aggrieved look, so she had to nod helplessly.

The shopkeeper was relieved, and immediately beckoned the three of them to a corner with fewer people, it was impossible for three people to have a table, so they had to share a table with other people, and the people at the table with them seemed to be a family of three.

The husband and wife were in their early thirties, with a little boy of seven or eight years old, and when they saw Qiao Yuan and the three of them sitting down, the husband and wife smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, perhaps because they noticed that Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen had a good temperament, and they were introverted, or they didn't want to do much.

But the little boy was lively, and as soon as he saw a little girl his size, he immediately came up to him.

It's just that Xiao Qianqian didn't bother to take care of this kind of little kid at all, so she ignored it, so she shook her head and left, which made Qiao Yuan and the couple quite embarrassed.

The table is very large, and the six people sitting on one side do not affect each other, Qiao Yuan let Qianqian order, and then pay attention to the noisy diners around, this kind of mixed place is the best place to listen to the news, although most of them are not very reliable, but you can also listen to some news about Yaocheng.

Soon, the dishes were served on a plate, Qianqian rolled up her sleeves, and her mouth was full of oil, not caring about her image at all, Ling Wanchen was not interested in these, but just took a few chopsticks in a shallow taste.

At this moment, an old beggar with his back and messy hair came over, he glanced at Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen, and then looked at the couple, probably the couple had a very kind face, and with a gentle smile on their faces, the old beggar stretched out the broken bowl in his hand and begged.

At first, Qiao Yuan didn't notice the old beggar in front of him, but when he was about to leave after asking for two steamed buns from the couple, Qiao Yuan's eyes suddenly froze, and he shouted softly: "Slow." ”

The old beggar suddenly paused, turned around and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qiao Yuan, while Ling Wanchen looked at him with a puzzled expression.

After being silent for a moment, Qiao Yuan said lightly: "We can't finish these dishes, you can take some." ”

As soon as Xiao Qianqian heard this, she suddenly looked at her with a puffed face, but with her next full burp, she was not embarrassed to speak.

The old beggar hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and grabbed a roast chicken that had been half gnawed by Qianqian, thanked him, and hurriedly turned around to walk outside the restaurant.

At this moment, three people walked in from outside the door, the leader was a middle-aged man wearing a white crown, and behind him there were two big men with fierce eyes.

The visitor was not good, and the other diners knew that there was a good show at a glance, and immediately focused their eyes on Qiao Yuan's table.

The middle-aged man with two big men strode forward with a calm face, and then looked at the couple, his expression was terrified, and his eyes were full of despair.

Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen both frowned, but they didn't move, only Qianqian didn't seem to notice anything, still eating the dishes on the table.

The three of them walked over quickly, the old beggar didn't seem to have a good look, just blocking the way of the three, without the middle-aged man to speak, a big man casually pushed the old beggar aside, the steamed bun in his bowl and the roast chicken in his hand were trampled by another big man, quenched a mouthful of spit and said: "Get out!"

Ignoring him anymore, the three of them walked to the table, and seeing that Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen were indifferent, the big man who had just opened the way had a fierce face and wanted to step forward to drive people away: "You three ......"

It's just that before he could speak, the middle-aged man hurriedly glared at him, and bowed to Qiao Yuan: "I am a member of the Wang family of Dafeng City, and I have some family affairs to deal with, disturbing the three Yaxing, I hope you will forgive me!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man took a deep look at Qianqian, who was burying his head in hard work, and could not hide the shock in his eyes, Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen's cultivation he couldn't see clearly, but Qianqian's cultivation of building the foundation of the Great Perfection, he clearly felt it, there was such a cultivation at such an age, what kind of cultivation should the young man and woman in front of him be, just thinking about it, he felt frightened, and made up his mind that he must not provoke these three people, but hoped that they would not interfere in the affairs of his clan.

When he said the royal family of Dafeng City and showed his identity, many people around him suddenly showed a clear look, and some people whispered, and there was no lack of ridicule and schadenfreude in their words.

Qiao Yuan ignored the middle-aged man, and as soon as his consciousness moved, he heard those discussions, but after listening to a rough idea, he almost knew the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the couple in front of him was a hard-working mandarin duck who eloped from the Wang family, the woman was the second daughter of the head of the Wang family, and she was originally going to marry into another family to consolidate the family marriage, but on the eve of the wedding, she eloped with one of the elders of the clan, that is, the man in front of her.

This incident not only made the Wang family lose face, but also almost fell out with the married family, so the Wang family mobilized all their strength to arrest the man and woman, but for more than ten years, there was no result, and the prestige of the Wang family plummeted, and in just ten years, it fell directly from a first-class family to a second-rate.

Qiao Yuan sighed lightly in his heart, there is nothing wrong with this matter from any side, if the family wants to develop, it must be married, and the woman is just to pursue the love in her heart, blame herself for being born in the wrong place, and she has no strength to resist fate.

Not to mention how he felt in his heart, the middle-aged man thought that Qiao Yuan didn't reply and thought that he had acquiesced, so he turned around and stared at the couple coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you can't escape either, come back with me to accept the punishment of the patriarch." ”

After that, the two big men behind him stepped forward directly and captured the two, this couple was only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and under the oppression of the middle-aged man in the early stage of Jin Dan, he was powerless to resist at all.

"Ask the seniors to come to our rescue. Suddenly, the man knelt on the ground and prayed to Qiao Yuan, the woman also looked at Ling Wanchen with a pleading look, and the little boy who was following them had already cried out in fright, which was quite sympathetic.

The middle-aged man immediately changed color and bowed his hand to Qiao Yuan again.

"Two Taoist friends, this is our Wang family's family matter, please don't interfere, if the two of you can afford it, our Wang family invited us to this meal today, which can be regarded as making amends for disturbing the two. ”

After speaking, he took out a storage bag from his arms and put it directly on the table, sincerity is not insufficient.

Ling Wanchenxiu's eyebrows were furrowed, there was already coldness in her eyes, she had heard most of the stories of the couple in front of her, she still had a good impression of this kind of woman who had the courage to pursue love, so at this moment she was planning to help, but seeing that Qiao Yuan was still indifferent, she was not good at being strong.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone on the entire first floor were almost focused on Qiao Yuan, whether this show would start today or not, it depended on whether he nodded or shook his head.

Qiao Yuan picked up a glass of wine unhurriedly, took a sip lightly, glanced at the storage bag that the middle-aged man had put down, and said in a deep voice.

"Take away the spirit stone, Xiao has not yet fallen to the point of asking others to invite him to dinner. ”

After saying a word, everyone's breath was stagnant, and they all heard the impatience and boredom in these words, as well as the sense of oppression.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, carefully withdrew the storage bag, and was about to say a few more words to ease the atmosphere, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to speak, but waved his hand at the two big men.

The two immediately understood, covered the little boy's mouth, and escorted the man and woman towards the outside of the restaurant.

Suddenly, the man struggled frantically, kowtowed to Qiao Yuanyuan, and cried, "Senior...... Senior, even if you don't want to cause trouble, please save our child, he is only eight years old this year, the same size as your daughter, please save him. ”

Hearing the word daughter, Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen both twitched the corners of their mouths, and secretly said in their hearts that the combined age of the two of them was not as big as Qianqian.

But at this moment, Qianqian also stopped her chopsticks, looked at the couple and the little boy who was crying and struggling, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not his daughter." ”

After saying this, she looked at Qiao Yuan again and muttered in a low voice, "They look so pitiful, or you can help them." ”

"Eat your food. Qiao Yuan replied lightly, still indifferent.

At this moment, the couple was really desperate, and their eyes were blank and they let the two big men walk out.

In the restaurant, no one felt that Qiao Yuan was indifferent and ruthless, on the contrary, he took it for granted, in this kind of place where various forces are mixed, I don't know how much this kind of thing happens every day, if I like to be nosy, I am afraid that I don't even know how to die in the end.

After this episode passed, the restaurant was once again full of people, Ling Wanchen looked at Qiao Yuan, and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why don't you make a move?"

In her heart, her husband is by no means an indifferent and ruthless person, even if she has scruples, how can a mere early Yudan monk and a royal family get into their eyes.

Qiao Yuan knew that this would be the result, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You don't need me to make a move, someone will solve it." ”

Ling Wanchen's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes full of incomprehension.

"Look, those three won't survive tonight. ”

Leaving a medium-grade spirit stone, Qiao Yuan picked up Qianqian, who looked dissatisfied, got up and left the restaurant with Ling Wanchen.
