Chapter 7 The finch is silent

Cheng Xu said lightly: "How can I be dissatisfied? If I were like you, born in the inner courtyard and cultivated by the resources provided by the family, I would be able to refine the second-grade pill now." just lamented that his fate was not good, and he was born in the outer courtyard. ”

Cheng Ling was speechless for a while!

The outer courtyard is that there is no third-level alchemist in this vein, so the resources allocated are small. The Cheng family's evaluation of the younger generation has always been Cheng Fei first, Cheng Ling second, Cheng Liang third, Cheng Xu fourth, and Cheng Hua fifth.

"Cheng Xu!"

Although Cheng Fei is younger than Cheng Xu, Cheng Fei still calls him by his name.

I only heard Cheng Fei say: "Heroes don't talk about their origins. Background cannot be chosen, and the acquired effort is where the gap lies. Those of us who came from the inner courtyard of the Cheng family are as shabby as beggars compared to those from big families. The family's resources are limited, and it cannot be absolutely fair, and this is true for the whole world. So don't always take it to heart, this knot is not good for your ascension. ”

"Well said!"

The head of the family turned around and said, "Cheng Xu, you should focus on refining the pill. In the future, when you become a third-level alchemist, your vein will return to the inner courtyard, and that will be the supreme glory. ”

"Yes!"

Castle Lord's Mansion!

Dinner parties like this with a scale of several hundred people are usually held in the square in the middle of the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is held once a year.

The head of the family, Cheng Hongyi, and the elders have their own circle of friends, and they all have topics to talk about in their circles. Cheng Ling also ran away, and she also had her own small circle.

To be honest, Cheng Ling is still quite beautiful. More importantly, she has a cheerful personality, a lively atmosphere, and with the image of a beautiful girl, she is also well-known in Dongping City. It has become the object of pursuit by many young masters of the family.

Cheng Fei and Cheng Xu are a pair of good friends, and they don't have many friends.

In the past, Cheng Fei was introverted and not good at words. Cheng Xu has a special identity, he was born in the outer courtyard, and no one paid attention to him except for a few people from small families.

From noon to now, Cheng Fei has not eaten, and he is already hungry. Looking around, everyone else was busy greeting each other. Only Cheng Xu was not far away, staring at the barbecue on the table.

The dinner at the City Lord's Mansion is in the form of a buffet, and individuals take it by themselves.

Cheng Xu raised his head and met Cheng Fei's gaze, a little embarrassed. Cheng Fei gave him an encouraging smile, then walked over by himself, picked up a large plate of barbecue, and walked in the corner to eat.

Cheng Xu was stunned, looking around the entire square, no one was eating or drinking, but Cheng Fei picked up such a large plate.

For this banquet, the city lord Li Mu sent people to hunt a few first-class demon beasts in the Black Forest and come back, and show off here. Cheng Fei picked up at least three catties on that plate.

At that moment, Cheng Xu no longer hesitated, and also picked up a large plate and hid in the corner to eat. Anyway, he came here to be a foil, and Cheng Liang and Cheng Ling naturally had something to do.

When Cheng Fei ate the second plate, that nasty voice finally inevitably sounded, and there was still the excitement of finally finding you.

I only heard Cao Tian say: "Oh, Master Cheng Fei, why do you eat alone like a hungry ghost every time I see you?"

"Hm~~~~"

Almost all eyes were fixed on Cheng Fei, and Cao Tian smirked proudly.

Now Cheng Fei's image is really embarrassing, and he is eating it in the corner with a plate of barbecue.

Cheng Fei was not embarrassed, and asked rhetorically: "I remember that in October last year, in the Strange Beast Hall, you had to bet with me on the fortune of the family to see who could collect the Star Emperor Grass." Later, I went out to cultivate, and I was not in Dongping City, I don't know if your Cao family collected the Star Emperor Grass?"

Cao Tian was stunned.

Cheng Fei took the opportunity to bypass Cao Tian and sat directly at the table to eat.

In everyone's surprised gaze, Cao Tian's face became extremely ugly, and a crazy hatred appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Feng, Zhao Ming, Qian Wanli, and Sun Sheng around him were also pale. Cheng Fei put the five of them in the whirlpool with a single word.

Cao Tian almost walked to Cheng Fei's side with cannibalistic eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cheng Fei say: "I said Cao Tian, you are also the young master of the Cao family, haven't you ever seen others eat meat? Don't follow me like a dog, I don't have any bones for you." ”

"You ......."

Cao Tian's voice was already so angry that his lips trembled.

Cheng Fei smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" If you want to eat it yourself, go get it yourself, and no one will stop you. Don't you Cao family even have this kind of tutor? Your grandfather Cao Li didn't educate you, don't bother others when they're eating?"

Cheng Fei's few words silenced the whole town, and everyone looked at Cheng Fei with surprised eyes.

Is this still the introverted and unspeakable Cheng Fei? A few words almost choked Cao Tian to death.

Almost all of Dongping City knew that Cheng Fei and Cao Tian were mortal enemies, and the two were the geniuses of the two major alchemist families in Dongping City.

Cao Tian is strong, and he is both an alchemist and a gangster leader in Dongping City. Cheng Fei is famous, and his talent as an alchemist sits firmly on the throne of the first boy in Dongping City.

But today, Cheng Fei said a few words before and after, and directly pressed Cao Tian into the mud. Everyone looked at Cao Tian's face that was almost out of breath, and was forcibly pulled away by the four of them.

At the beginning of the dinner, Cao Tian had already lost most of it.

After Cheng Fei was full, he found a corner and sat down, closing his eyes and saying nothing, in fact, he was cultivating.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Fei was awakened by the noise, and the city lord Li Mu came. He was accompanied by the heads of several major families in Dongping City, including Cheng Hongyi and Cao Li.

What makes Cheng Fei strange is that there is a girl next to Li Mu. It seems that this girl is the protagonist today, and Li Mudu respects her a lot.

Everyone gradually gathered together, and the hundreds of people did not seem crowded. The people of the small family automatically stepped back, leaving the front seat to the people of the big family. In this way, there is a clear hierarchy.

I only heard Li Mulang say: "It's all old acquaintances, so I'm not polite." Today, the city lord is very happy to announce one thing: Last year's reward for Star Emperor Grass, do you remember?"

The crowd chimed in: "Remember!"

Li Mu continued: "To be honest, that Star Emperor Grass is not needed by this city lord, but by the Bird Asking Heaven Master. This is the granddaughter of Master Que Wentian, Miss Que Silent. She came to Dongping City today to participate in this gathering, just to thank our Dongping City families for their efforts on behalf of Master Que Wentian. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he gestured silently to the bird.

Que said silently: "First of all, on behalf of my grandfather, I would like to thank the major families in Dongping City for their efforts. Grandpa said, Star Emperor Grass continued to buy, one million taels of gold per plant, plus a four-grade pill. ”

Rumble..........

It's a fryer, four pins of elixir? That's an elixir! It's rare to see in the mortal world. Everyone was talking to each other.

Que said to Cheng Hongyi silently: "Thank you Cheng for making a good start." ”

Cheng Hongyi hurriedly said: "Miss Que is too polite, this is as it should be." ”

At this time, the city lord spoke: "The matter of the eldest lady has also been announced, and it can be said that everyone is happy. Let's talk a lot. ”

The city lord, Que Silent and several family lords naturally went to eat elsewhere, leaving the boys and girls of various families to communicate here. In fact, this is the point of today's party.

Cheng Fei felt that he was being stared at all the time, and this feeling was very uncomfortable. Looking up and looking around, he met Cao Tian's fire-breathing eyes.

Cheng Fei smiled and muttered sarcastically: "It's too angry." ”

Although Cheng Fei's voice was very small, there were always people who paid attention to him. Looking at the lip language, I also know what Cheng Fei said.

"Cheng Fei........."

Cheng Fei's words ignited Cao Tian's anger, and he rushed over with a roar, and the four people around him couldn't hold it.
