The starry sky was shining in the vast grassland late at night, and most people had already fallen asleep by the moment. I saw Nie Qi sitting alone on the grassland and still drinking alone, so I walked up to him and sat down and said, "What's the matter, young master? ”

Nie Qi took a sip of wine and looked into the distance, and said lightly: "There is nothing to say, I am the young master of the head of the seven factions of the Central Continent, and I will always stand in front of the world with tenacity and fortitude." ”

I said casually, "You're still too careless, aren't you putting too much pressure on yourself?"

Nie Qi said in a deep voice: "I am different from you, uncle, my words and deeds represent the majesty of the Taiyue faction all the time, and this is what I must bear as the young master of the Taiyue faction in my life." ”

I said, "You're not right to say that, right? I have a lot of identities, and besides, you don't see how many people trouble me when the World Heroes Club." ”

Nie Qi said in a slightly heavy tone: "But you just don't care about all this, because you are the personal disciple of the Heavenly Observation Daoist who has saved the world, because the exercises you have cultivated can do what no supreme powerhouse can do, touch the Great Dao and reverse the world!"

I chuckled and said, "Heh, speaking of which, don't you care that people think that the exercises you are cultivating are demonic skills?" ”

Nie Qi suddenly looked at me with murderous anger and said, "You Yuzhen, I, Nie Qi, respect you as a person, but it doesn't mean that you can talk to me." This is the first and only time I remind you that I will kill anyone who says that the exercises I cultivate are demonic skills. ”

I still didn't care and said, "Big brother, we're all drunk like this, and it's hard to even stand firm, and what do you say who kills whom." Besides, I don't understand. The entire Taiyue Sect hasn't cared about this for hundreds of years, what do you care about here?"

Nie Qi was furious and shouted at me: "What do you know? How are you qualified to talk casually here? Do you know that this is a stain that our Taiyue faction can never erase! Do you know why the first person I killed when I first went down the mountain was a person from the Demon Dao? Just to let the world know that our Taiyue faction and the Demon Dao are incompatible, but the result is that the world actually said that it was because of the weak heart of the young sect master that I would do this! Are they all blind?!"

I looked at him calmly and said, "You're right, I'm definitely not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about your Taiyue faction." I only know one thing, it's human nature to want to be recognized by the public, to be part of the crowd, so whoever wants to be recognized by others in every way is understandable. It's just that if we care about what other people think, then do we live for others, or do we live for ourselves?"

After listening to me, Nie Qi looked at the sky and said: "Hmph, how can everything in the world be as easy as you say, you should be your Taoist priest, you don't understand worldly things at all." ”

I got up, patted the dust off my body and said, "Okay, you say I don't understand it, I don't understand." That's all I know, and that's all I know! ”

Alas... This Nie Qi is a bit like me in the past, impetuous, too conceited and too obsessed. I hope that Nie Qi can have a good luck and let him see through the obsession in his heart earlier. Otherwise, maybe one day he will be ruined in his obsession...

The next morning, one by one, before we had recovered from last night's hangover, we set off again in a daze. Half a month later, our group came to Dengfeng City, a border city bordering Dayu and Yanyun Kingdom. This is the only way to go to Cangqi country, and it is an important military and commercial place on the border of Dayu country.

Since Nie Qi and I quarreled that night on the grassland, Nie Qi rarely talked more. When he had to talk to me, his tone was noticeably much more polite. It seems that Nie Qi didn't forget about arguing with me because he drank too much that night. Although Nie Qi didn't say it, it can be seen from his words and deeds that he apologized for his attitude towards me that night.

Of course, I don't pay attention to this kind of trivial matter at all, and everyone has times when they drink too much. It's normal for big men to drink too much and argue a few words. Therefore, my attitude towards Nie Qi is still the same as before, neither deliberately caring for him, nor deliberately alienating him.

When we arrived at the city of Dengfeng, and were about to reach the city gate to enter the city, I saw a large number of people gathered under the city gate, and the crowd was obviously in a commotion. I said to Shi Jun: "Let's go, go over and see the excitement." ”

Standing outside the crowd, through the crowd, I saw a brightly dressed young man sitting on a Taishi chair with a paper fan in his hand, and impatiently said to his subordinates: "What are you doing to eat! Hurry up and take it away for Young Master Ben! Do you want me to do it myself?"

I saw that in the middle of the crowd, several strong men were pulling a good-looking girl, and an old couple and two subordinates were desperately trying to stop it, it seemed that the old couple should be the girl's parents.

I only heard the girl's father shouting: "We just passed through here and went home to worship our ancestors, why do you say that my daughter is a spy!"

The young man looked at the girl's father and said contemptuously: "Why? No, there is no reason! In this Dengfeng City, I am the king's law, and I say that whoever is a spy is a spy!"

I looked at this and thought to myself, who is this? With such a big breath, it can't be the royal family of Dayu Kingdom, right? I asked the passers-by who were watching the excitement next to me, "Uncle, what's going on? Who is that kid who talks so crazy?"

The passer-by hurriedly said, "Young man, don't talk nonsense! ”

"It's my first time in Dengfeng City, and I don't know anything about it here, so please tell me about it. I smiled at the passer-by.

The passer-by said, "So it's the first time you've been here, no wonder." Passers-by pointed to the young man sitting on the Taishi's chair and said, "That is the little king of this Dengfeng City-Zhou Qiren, as long as he is in Dengfeng City, he is not afraid of him." ”

I asked curiously, "Why is he so powerful in this Dengfeng City? I remember that this Dengfeng City is not a fief of the nobles, right?"

The passerby sighed and said, "Indeed, this is not the fief of any nobles, but this Zhou Qiren's father is the governor who manages this Dengfeng City." Lord Fu Yin connived at his son, who has a way to do this. In addition, this Zhou Gongzi's family is wealthy, so he has a lot of family members under him, all of whom are very strong. This Zhou Gongzi relied on his father's protection and his subordinates to forcibly collect the commercial taxes handed over to their Zhou family at the various gates of Dengfeng City. ”
