Chapter 457: Gathering Together
Yi Chenfeng greeted him with a smile on his face, without the slightest surprise on his face.
When he heard Qiao Yuan's transmission three days ago, he had slowly accepted this fact.
In addition, after returning to the camp, there was a lot of news about Qiao Yuan, and he had already understood clearly why Qiao Yuan did not fall in the Grass Spirit Valley.
However, what Yi Chenfeng didn't expect was that Qiao Yuan actually made a special trip to visit him, which made his heart warm slightly, and then sent a message to Chen Surou and asked her to come over quickly.
Yi Chenfeng took Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao into the attic, and after a while, Fang Jingxing also rushed over.
Fang Jingxing was seriously injured on the sandbank, and he came back to recuperate for three days, although he recovered a little, his pale face still showed that he was in a very bad state.
The four of them sat down in a living room, and Qiao Yuan introduced Zhan Yao to them first.
Yi Chenfeng was quite humble and polite, but Fang Jingxing blushed slightly, and didn't dare to look at Zhan Yao, obviously surprised by her beauty.
Zhan Yao didn't have any of the predecessors of the Jindan period, and he looked like he was smiling, and asked them from time to time about Qiao Yuan's situation in Yuehe Sect.
After chatting for tea, a girl in a pink dress walked in happily outside the living room.
"Uncle Xiao, it's really you!"
Chen Surou rushed up with a smile like a flower, still looking lively and active, but before she came to Qiao Yuan, she noticed a wary gaze falling on her face.
Chen Surou's eyes turned and fell on the face of Zhan Yao, who was sitting next to Qiao Yuan, at first sight, even though she herself was quite a beautiful woman, she was also surprised by Zhan Yao's stunning appearance.
She was slightly stunned, and then she found out that this girl in the colorful skirt was actually a Jindan monk.
"Xiao Yao. ”
Qiao Yuan knew that this girl was jealous again, so he smiled helplessly, he glanced at Zhan Yao and said softly.
Chen Surou was lively by nature and simple-minded, but she didn't think much about it at all, but smiled and bowed to Zhan Yao.
After Qiao Yuan introduced them to each other, the vigilance in Zhan Yao's eyes dispersed, and then the two sat together, holding little hands, like little sisters, laughing and talking.
After chatting for half an hour, the stories of several people over the years were almost finished, Qiao Yuancai looked straight and asked softly.
"Chenfeng, can you tell me more about the battle for the sandbar?"
At the mention of this, Yi Chenfeng and Fang Jingxing's faces sank, and after hesitating for a moment, Yi Chenfeng nodded and spoke slowly.
Things were very simple, as usual, after Qu Yunwei took her disciples to the sandbank, she fought with the disciples of Firewind Valley.
The number of disciples of the Moon River Sect and the disciples of the Fire Wind Valley is equal, and the brocade-clothed man of Qu Yunwei and the Fire Wind Valley are also mid-stage Jindan cultivators, and the two sides seem to be equal in strength.
However, Qu Yunwei's combat power was far from being comparable to that of a monk of the same level, and just like that, it didn't take long for the man in brocade to be injured and escape, and as for the remaining disciples of Firewind Valley, half of them also escaped.
Qu Yunwei saw that most of the disciples were very tired from the battle, so she did not leave immediately, but laid out a formation and waited for them to recover from meditation.
But in just a moment of incense, the brocade-clothed man came back again, and there was also a monk from the late Jindan period accompanying him.
Seeing this, Qu Yunwei fought with the two in order to protect the disciples, and secretly asked several May Peak disciples, including Yi Chenfeng, to activate the emergency backup formation.
During this period, there were still many foundation building disciples who were killing Yi Chenfeng and others who arranged the formation in order to cover them, and the only ones who survived in the end were more than a dozen.
After the formation was arranged, Qu Yunwei and the remaining dozen or so disciples had been hiding in the formation, waiting for the support of the camp.
But I waited for three days in a row, and no reinforcements arrived.
In the end, the formation was broken, and the disciples scattered and fled, Qu Yunwei dragged the injured body, forcibly urged Qiushui without a trace, and killed the man in brocade.
Speaking of this, Yi Chenfeng stopped talking, he had already left at that time, and then the scene where Qu Yunwei was about to explode himself, Qiao Yuan happened to arrive, and naturally saw it clearly.
For a moment, the living room fell silent, and Yi Chenfeng, Fang Jingxing, and Chen Surou were all in a depressed mood.
"Chenfeng, do you have a kitchen here, I'll cook it myself, make two side dishes, let's have a drink. ”
Qiao Yuan pondered for a moment, and after straightening things out, his expression changed, showing a bright smile, and said lightly.
"Brother Qiao, Xiao Yao wants to eat roast chicken. ”
Zhan Yao didn't seem to be infected by that oppressive atmosphere, she hurriedly approached Qiao Yuan, revealing a pair of pure and lovely pear vortices, and said playfully.
As if infected by Zhan Yao's relaxed and playful tone, Yi Chenfeng and the three of them also smiled, and their emotions gradually rose.
"Little uncle, that girl Qianqian thinks about your roast chicken every day, and for a while she pestered Senior Brother Yi to let him roast it, but unfortunately Senior Brother Yi really has no talent in this area, and the roast is unpalatable. ”
Chen Surou's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said jokingly.
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yuan, Zhan Yao and Fang Jingxing all laughed, only Yi Chenfeng's face was slightly red, and he looked embarrassed.
Qiao Yuanjian finally dissipated the oppressive atmosphere, so he got up directly and prepared to go to the kitchen to show his skills.
In the evening, several people sat around a gazebo, with all kinds of delicacies on the table, as well as three golden and crispy roast chickens, which made Chen Surou and Zhan Yao salivate when they saw it.
Qiao Yuan took out a few jars of good wine, and while clinking glasses with Yi Chenfeng and the others, he chatted with them about some idle affairs.
"It smells so good! We can all smell it a few blocks away. ”
Just when a few people had just drunk a glass of wine and had not moved their chopsticks, a hearty laugh came from a distance.
Qiao Yuan and the others turned their heads to look, only to see Tang Li, Lin Wantian, Xie Feiyu, and Yin Shuangshuang coming together.
Friends from the past gathered together, naturally smiling and drinking, and after a while, four or five empty wine jars appeared on the ground.
"Brother Qiao, do you know that you are the hottest person in the city now. ”
Xie Feiyu drank two more glasses, and at the moment he was dazed and climbed Qiao Yuan's shoulder, not treating him as an elder of the Jindan period at all.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on?"
Qiao Yuan didn't mind at all, on the contrary, they were not restrained because of their high cultivation, and he was happy about it.
"Do you know? Now all the disciples in the city know about your killing of the late Jindan monks, and they can worship you very much, of course, I, Xie Feiyu, have always regarded you as an idol. ”
Xie Feiyu looked drunk, but his words were extremely smooth, and he didn't even forget to pat his ass in the end.
Zhan Yao poured a pot, and she was already drunk and began to talk confusedly, but as soon as she heard Xie Feiyu's words, her drunken eyes lit up, and she immediately sobered up, and quickly poked out her ears and listened carefully.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he laughed, didn't answer, but picked up his wine glass and him.
"But this is not the point, the point is that you are desperately trying to save Elder Qu, and now all the disciples say that the two of you have already made up their minds, and it won't be long before you become a Taoist couple, Brother Qiao, is this true or false?"
Xie Feiyu finished drinking a glass of wine, waved his hand, and continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the place suddenly became strangely quiet, and then a fiery gaze fell on Qiao Yuan's face.
However, there was a cold gaze that made the drunken Xie Feiyu couldn't help but tremble, and his mind immediately cleared up most of it.
Qiao Yuan's face froze, he was stunned in place, looked at Xie Feiyu, and then looked at the faces of Tang Li, Yi Chenfeng and others, couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and hurriedly said.
"Everyone misunderstood, Yunwei and I are just friends. ”
"Yunwei?"
Tang Li, Yi Chenfeng and the others immediately showed a meaningful smile, in the entire Yuehe Sect, except for Qu Feng and Yan Chenzi, I am afraid that only Qiao Yuan can call Qu Yunwei's name.
Zhan Yao, who was sitting next to Qiao Yuan, frowned, with a look of displeasure, she secretly reached under the table, grabbed Qiao Yuan's wrist, pinched it violently, and then stared at Qiao Yuan with a pair of innocent peach blossom eyes, her eyes were full of grievances.
Qiao Yuan gritted his teeth to endure the pain in his wrist, cast an equally innocent look at Zhan Yao, and then looked at Xie Feiyu again, and couldn't help but want to scold this guy for how bad the wine was.
On the other side of the wine table, Yin's eyes were dim, the corners of his mouth forcibly pulled out a smile, and he drank silently with a wine glass.
Chen Surou, who was sitting next to her, felt something, comfortingly stroked Yin Shuangshuang's back, did not speak, but sighed secretly, and drank stuffy wine with her.
After Xie Feiyu came to his senses, he realized that he had said nonsense, so he hurriedly apologized to Qiao Yuan and punished himself three times.
He understood that Qiao Yuan was concerned about Ling Wanchen, and now although there were a lot of gossip and rumors outside, Xie Feiyu didn't believe it at all, and what he said just now was just a drunken gaffe.
"Brother Qiao, you ...... Aren't you Miss Xinyueling, why did you get involved with Elder Qu again?"
Lin Wantian, who also knew about Qiao Yuan and Ling Wanchen, showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, and hurriedly asked Qiao Yuan.
"It's not true, Yunwei and I are just friends. ”
Qiao Yuan suddenly felt a headache, and hurriedly sent a message back to Lin Wantian.
The two of them transmitted the sound, Tang Li and Yi Chenfeng and the others didn't know, but Zhan Yao, who was sitting next to Qiao Yuan, she was a Jindan period monk, so close to the distance, she naturally heard it clearly.
"Miss Ling?"
A name immediately appeared in Zhan Yao's heart, her eyes were slightly dim, but in an instant, she returned to normal.
Then Zhan Yao didn't act abnormally, just looked at Qiao Yuan's gaze, a little more reluctant and sad.
She never thought that Brother Qiao would marry someone else one day, and at that time, would he still be her own Big Brother Qiao?
These questions came to Zhan Yao's heart one by one, making her a little overwhelmed, picking up the wine glass and drinking one glass after another, I am afraid that only when she is drunk can she stop thinking about these things.
It didn't take long for Zhan Yao to fall into a warm embrace in a drowsy state.
The embrace was so wide and comfortable, it made her reluctant to give up, Zhan Yao thought that if one day this embrace no longer belonged to her, but to another woman, what would happen to herself?
Thinking about it, Zhan Yao felt a warm big hand caressing her back, and then felt that her body was light, and two solid arms and wrists were wrapped around her legs and waist, and a cool breeze hit her, which made her mind slightly clearer.
"Brother Qiao, where are we going?"
Zhan Yao half-opened her drunken hazy eyes, and found herself being held by Qiao Yuan, galloping down the street.
"Senior Brother Lian sent a message, let me go over, I'll send you back first, you can sleep well. ”
Qiao Yuan lowered his head slightly, a reassuring smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said gently.
Zhan Yao let out a soft "um", then lowered her heavy eyelids again, and sank into sleep peacefully.
Qiao Yuan hurriedly returned to the courtyard, put Zhan Yao on the bed, covered it with a quilt, and turned around and left the room.
He didn't go to Lianjingshan's courtyard, but went straight to the council chamber, his brows furrowed slightly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"Senior brother still called us to the council hall so late, I'm afraid things are not very simple. ”
Qiao Yuan glanced up at the bright moon in the sky, and found that it was already ugly at the moment, and then his steps couldn't help but be faster.
