Chapter 23: What's New
Wu Ming's room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, there were no furnishings in Wu Ming's room, and it was very simple, but in order to tease out the old habits in his heart and the heart of fun, he had asked his subordinates to add a lot of furnishings and filled the whole room.
Now in this room, as soon as he entered, he felt the air of wealth rushing towards him.
The servants set up the food and drinks, and the night pearl hanging in the air illuminated the whole room. It's still daytime, but it's still a little dark inside, and with the Night Pearl, the room is even as bright as the outside.
Wu Ming sat on the main seat, several subordinates were busy taking care of him, and a maid sang a little song according to Wu Ming's instructions.
Not long after, Xia Bingyun came under the guidance of a subordinate, and was very surprised to see a table of wine and food, and Wu Wuming with a smile on his face on the wine table.
She couldn't understand how Wu Ming could be so capricious.
"Bingyun, sit, I was in a bad mood a few days ago, I'm sorry for you, today, it's up to me to make amends for you. ā
Xia Bingyun sat down silently, and made up her mind in her heart, after today, if Wu Ming invited her again, she would not come over.
It has been more than half a month since Miaocheng Immortal Gu left, Xia Bingyun estimated that Miaocheng Immortal Gu was about to come back, she didn't want Miao Cheng Immortal Gu to see that she was still staying with Wu Ming, that would only strengthen Miaocheng Immortal Gu's heart to kill Wu Ming.
Even, in order to clear up the relationship, she is considering moving out of the Wu family, since she was accepted as an apprentice by Miaocheng Immortal Gu, the Wu family has not dared to restrict her freedom. Of course, the Wu family didn't dare to drive her away. And the reason why she is still staying here is that she is afraid, if she herself is not there, I am afraid that Miaocheng Immortal Gu will make a move and become even more unscrupulous.
She is here, and she can still persuade Miaocheng Immortal Gu to do a thing or two, if Miaocheng Immortal Gu doesn't listen wantonly and can't say anything, she can only risk having trouble with Miaocheng Immortal Gu and dissuade her.
She felt that since Miaocheng Immortal Gu accepted her as an apprentice, it showed that she still had some value, she was here, Miaocheng Immortal Gu had some concerns, maybe she would not do it for the time being, so that at least Wu Ming's peace was guaranteed for a while.
"Come, Bingyun, I respect you!" Wu Ming raised his wine glass and dried himself first.
Xia Bingyun frowned, lowered his head and took a sip, and said, "Wu Ming, today should be our farewell banquet, my master has been gone for more than half a month, maybe he will come back soon." When the time comes, I will follow the master away, and everything that happens between us will dissipate like smoke......"
Wu Ming got up, grabbed Xia Bingyun's hand, and said softly: "Bingyun, why be sad? Even if we have to leave tomorrow, we have to be happy today!"
Xia Bingyun said strangely: "You're not afraid of my master?"
"Afraid, why not afraid? She is so powerful, in front of her, I can say that there is no backhand, she wants me to live, I will live, she wants me to die, I will die. However, I am not afraid that she will attack me, but that she will attack my family. ā
There was also a hint of heaviness in Wu Ming's tone, but then he became brisk, "However, maybe your master doesn't want to do anything to me, maybe, your master wants to take me with me and let me accompany you!"
Xia Bingyun's face was solemn and said, "Wu Ming, don't be so hanging." I'm sure my master must have wanted to kill you even more. However, I will do everything in my power to dissuade him, and if he does anything to you, I will ...... I'm not going to live!"
"Huh?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Bingyun, before, even if the two were good, they were just having fun together, and they didn't say anything to show their hearts, but at this time, when Xia Bingyun said such words, Wu Ming was unconsciously touched.
Xia Bingyun treated him like this, how could he not feel it?
People, after all, are not plants and trees.
"Affection, this thing itself is not bad, if you can do it without indulging in it, then, you don't have to resist. Wu Ming thought silently in his heart.
Of course, he didn't have affection for Xia Bingyun, but was just touched by the other party's words.
"Well, your heart, I understand. Wu Ming played with Xia Bingyun's tender little hand and said, "Since we will be separated soon, now we can still get together, let's enjoy this time together, okay?"
"Hmm. Xia Bingyun looked at the hand that Wu Ming grabbed her, and wanted to resist, but she couldn't bear to resist, and a flush quickly rose on her face.
At this time, an idea suddenly popped up in Xia Bingyun's mind: "If, if the master didn't show up, it would be good......"
When she realized the idea, she herself was taken aback.
"I, how can I have this kind of thought? Master, how can I have this kind of thought if I can make me stronger and control my own destiny?"
"Yesterday's all this should be regarded as a dream. ā
A smile appeared on Xia Bingyun's face, and he drank with Wu Ming.
......
This drinking lasted for almost an hour, and Wu Ming and Xia Bingyun were both a little drunk.
Wu Ming asked his subordinates to help Xia Bingyun away, and he himself sat on a chair in a daze.
The little song in his ears was still ringing, and the happy scene just now seemed to be still in front of him, but there was no trace of turmoil in Wu Ming's heart.
The reason why this banquet was arranged was to confirm whether he had really overcome his old habits and whether he had really overcome his playfulness.
Now, he has been confirmed.
"Withdraw, withdraw. Wu Ming waved his hand and asked them to take down the wine and food.
"And all these useless things in the house, let's remove them. I don't need to enter the account, I will reward you. ā
"Yes!" a few subordinates said happily, these things in the house are all precious things, the cheap ones cost dozens of taels of silver, and the expensive ones cost hundreds of taels, how much money can they have for a month when they are busy for a year?
"And these chairs, that chaise longue, screens, tables, all removed. The paintings hanging on the walls and the night pearls on the top were also removed. In short, what this house looked like a month ago, and what it looks like now. ā
"Yes!" several of the subordinates became even more excited. Just now, Wu Ming just said that they should remove the useless things, but what is useful and which is useless, Wu Ming did not say, it is difficult for them to grasp. Now that Wu Ming has made it clear that if they want to restore the house to the scene it was a month ago, then they can easily grasp it, that is, more than ninety percent of the things in this house will be removed.
"Now you can make a fortune!" thought to a few subordinates, but they were faintly worried, how to distribute it......
Wu Ming returned to the inner room and shouted out the old way in his head.
"How about it, my performance is okay, when are you going to turn me into an innate person?"
"Hmph!" Lao Dao was disdainful, "This is just the first test, so don't be arrogant! Moreover, to turn you into a congenital person, it is not for me to say a word, you will become an innate person, and you still need to work hard yourself!"
"Huh?" Wu Ming was a little discouraged, "If there are any other tests, just say them, I will definitely be able to pass them all!"
"Don't talk big about it yet! You have passed this test, but the next test is getting harder and harder!"
Wu Ming's heart was itching: "What kind of test is it, just let the horse come!"
Lao Dao said: "Don't be in a hurry, now that you have just passed the first test, you must stabilize for a while." Aren't you afraid that your family will worry, just take advantage of this time to cultivate well, if you can break through one more layer and become a fourth-level martial artist, then your family should be a lot more relieved. ā
When Lao Dao said this, Wu Ming's heart ached, and Lao Dao accurately hit the most vulnerable part of his heart.
Walking on the old road to arrange this path for him, in fact, the most difficult thing for him is the worry of his family.
"Okay, let's cultivate for a period of time first, and calm the hearts of my family. ā
......
On that day, Wu Ming spent time in cultivation.
In the evening, Wu Ming went to the front to dine with a few people.
Since he began to tease the old habits in his heart according to the old arrangement, he has never eaten with his family again.
Although it is said that Mrs. Wu has made a rule that the people of the Wu family, as long as they don't go out and can't come back, they must eat together. However, the rules are for those who obey the rules. For those who don't follow the rules, the rules lose their usefulness.
Wu Ming is the unruly person.
Walking to the front hall, Wu Ming's appearance made everyone in the Wu family appear surprised for a moment, but immediately, they were happy.
"Xiao Ming, are you here? We thought you wouldn't come, so we started first, don't you mind?" Wu Qing sat on the top and asked carefully, for fear of touching which of Wu Ming's nerves.
Grandpa speaks to his grandson, but he has to be so careful, which is rare in the world.
"Father, what do you care about him!" Wu Zhuang was bowing his head to eat, but at this time, he slammed the dishes and chopsticks and said in a deep voice.
"Father......" Wu Nan said on the side.
Wu Ming also cared, and sat down by himself. Immediately, someone added a pair of chopsticks.
"Xiao Ming, you are in good health? I heard someone say today that you have gotten out of bed, I am still a little worried, now it seems that there should be nothing wrong, right? I arranged for someone to make ginseng and bird's nest soup, to replenish your body, I was going to send it to you, now, let them send it here directly." ā
As soon as Wu Qing waved his hand, a subordinate approached, Wu Qing commanded a few words, and the subordinate hurried out.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry......" Wu Ming said softly.
"Hey, why are you talking about this? You can be fine, grandpa will be relieved. ā
Suddenly, Wu Ming noticed that his cousin Wu Zheng was not at the banquet: "Where is my brother?"
"Hey......" Wu Qing sighed, and everyone next to him also frowned.
Wu Jian looked distressed: "Xiao Ming, you have become like this, it has made us sad enough, fortunately, you are getting better now, but you are ...... him"
"What's wrong with my brother?" Wu Ming asked tightly in his heart, could it be that with the power of their Wu family in Qingshui City, someone could still attack the people of their Wu family.
Qingshui City, so the Liu family can fight against the Wu family, but Wu Zheng does not pose much threat to their Liu family, and the Liu family cannot risk angering the Wu family to attack Wu Zheng.
"Xiao Ming, you don't have to worry, it's not a big deal...... It is...... Xiaozhi, you can tell Brother Ming. Wu Jian couldn't say any more, so he could only let Wu Zhi next to him say it.
Wu Zhi is the most obedient person in the third generation of the Wu family, and all the elders of the Wu family have high hopes for him, and when he heard his father's words, he said respectfully: "Yes, father." Then, he told Wu Ming the reason.
Wu Zheng, addicted to absorbing the Ascending Immortal Grass, has reached the point of madness. If you don't let him suck it for a day, he will die or live. But if he sucks it, he will hallucinate again, often say some unbelievable things and do some unbelievable things.
Several elders of the Wu family have already seen that this Ascending Immortal Grass is by no means a good thing! Therefore, Wu Zheng has been grounded.
Every day, Wu Zheng cried in the room, and even tried to commit suicide, but fortunately he was found and did not succeed.
"Brother Ming, if you have time, go see him. Wu Zhi said directly, Wu Zhi was also very sad that his brother had become like this.
"Good. Wu Ming responded, but he was puzzled in his heart, what kind of thing was this Ascending Immortal Grass, which could have such power and turn a good person into a madman.
Because of Wu Zheng's matter, this meal was not very pleasant. Everyone ate in silence and did not say much.
When the meal was about to end, a person suddenly came running and said a few words in Wu Qing's ear.
Wu Qing's face changed greatly, and he said, "Can this matter be verified?"
"It's confirmed!" the man said affirmatively, hesitated again and said, "Actually, there is no need to check, now the entire Qingshui City is afraid that it will be known." ā
"Go down. Wu Qing waved his hand, and the next person went down, and Wu Qing's face was shrouded in a layer of haze.
"Father, what's the matter?" Wu Jian asked.
Wu Qing let out a long sigh: "Unexpectedly, our worries have become a reality, just now a spy got the news, and the Pingbu Gate Immortal arrived in the Liu family." ā
"Huh?" Everyone at the dinner table was shocked, originally, they and the Liu family were evenly matched, but if the Liu family had the support of Pingbumen, then how could their Wu family fight each other.
Wu Qingyi waved his hand and said: "Arrange it, in the near future, don't have any disputes with the Liu family, even if the other party is presumptuous, we will swallow our anger for the time being, I will let the spies continue to investigate, see what happened to the Pingbumen immortals to the Liu family, and then we will make a decision." ā
"Yes. Wu Jian and Wu Zhuang responded.
Everyone in the Wu family was very worried, and they dispersed silently after eating, Wu Ming didn't say a word, and secretly thought in his heart: "The old Dao in my mind doesn't pay attention to that Miaocheng Immortal Gu at all, I don't know if the old Dao has a chance of winning against this Pingbu Gate immortal?"
