Garden feast.

For the vast majority of Huating locals, this is an extremely unfamiliar name, but for a few people, this is one of the top clubhouses in the entire Huating.

The garden feast is located in the Lanshan National Forest Park in the southwest of Huating Yunjian District, covering an area of less than 1,500 acres, surrounded by ancient trees, repairing fences to cover the sun, a piece of antique buildings dotted in the surrounding green mountains and green waters, the scenery is extremely quiet.

Although the club is built in the national forest park, but it is not listed, nor open to the public, but the implementation of the membership system, the club was established for nearly five or six years, so far the members have not exceeded 100, so the whole building complex, most of the time is in an extremely deserted state.

In the early morning sun, along a hidden path, Wang Yuetong drove a beige Beetle, and while driving, he introduced the garden feast to Li Tianlan.

"The garden feast was opened when the second uncle first arrived in Huating, and in five years, less than 100 membership cards were issued, of which 20 membership cards were senior members, and the rest were ordinary members. ”

"However, even if it is an ordinary member, there are some very energetic characters in Huating, and a membership card for a garden feast can also represent the identity of the cardholder in Huating to a certain extent. ”

Wang Yuetong blinked her eyes and looked at the road ahead, and said softly: "Senior brother, I will ask the second uncle to give you a membership card in a while, and when we are on vacation in the future, and I am not by your side, you can come here to go around." ”

"Although there are not a few guests here on weekdays, as long as you meet, there is a value of friendship, Sky Academy is not an ordinary school, the connection between inside and outside the school is very close, if you want to develop in Huating or in the south in the future, it will not hurt to know more people, and there are less than a hundred members here, which is the most worth knowing." ”

"Thank you. ”

Li Tianlan said quietly, but he sighed softly in his heart, Wang Yuetong may be kind to him, but the nearly 100 members of the garden feast are destined to not help him much.

After all, every member here is basically a member of the Southeast Group, or a person who will not have a conflict of interest with the Southeast Group in a short period of time, and the current Southeast Group is dominated by the Beihai Wang Clan, once his identity is exposed, what kind of attitude the people here will have towards him, you can imagine.

However, Li Tianlan also understands Wang Yuetong's thoughts, the other party wants to help him, but from her standpoint, another meaning of her help is that she wants to integrate herself into the system of the Southeast Group, which may not be wrong in Wang Yuetong's opinion, but Li Tianlan can't do it.

It is better to be a peasant household than a vassal family.

If you want to be a vassal, except for Kunlun City, I'm afraid that everyone, including the prince group, will welcome Grandpa and the Li family to join, why has the Li family been struggling to guard the border for many years?

Why did Li Tianlan carefully hide his identity?

As long as he can pull down his face, the entire Li clan may have reappeared in Central Continent as a vassal.

But why is grandpa's forbearance for many years?

For many years, following his grandfather to guard the border, countless elites of Kunlun Xuanyuan Terrace would rather die in battle than leave the camp.

It's all because of Kunlun Xuanyuantai, because of the dignity and pride of the God of War family for hundreds of years, and with these, who will be someone else's vassal? Who would dare to be someone else's vassal?

Li Tianlan sat silently on the co-pilot of the Beetle, with a calm expression, and let Wang Yuetong lead him through the path and into the gate of the garden feast.

A large area of ancient garden-like buildings appeared in Li Tianlan's sight.

In April, the spring flowers are blooming, all the purple and red, all the small bridges and pavilions and pavilions full of ancient style in front of the eyes, which make people forget the vulgarity, occasionally wearing a cheongsam gentle and elegant waiter holding a tray in a beautiful scenery of flowers and shuttles, all the scenes in front of you, from the details reveal an extremely rare tranquility and peace, all the ups and downs of the hustle and bustle, seems to have completely non-existent.

Li Tianlan thought of Qin Weibai and remembered a sentence.

I should really take you to see it.

Every time Qin Weibai sees something new and sends him WeChat, it's probably his current mentality, right?

"Let's go. ”

Wang Yuetong looked at Li Tianlan, who was a little in a daze, and came to him and laughed in a low voice: "Don't look at it, if you like this place, you will get the card for a while, you can come often, seven days of vacation, you stay here every day and no one cares, but you are not allowed to fight the waiter's idea here, the women here are all human spirits, and they don't spit out bones when they eat people." ”

Li Tianlan followed Wang Yuetong across a small bridge, looked at the clear flowing water and the fish swimming in the water, and smiled casually: "What's the matter?

"Theoretically, it is possible, the garden feast has three beauties, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beauty. ”

Wang Yuetong explained in a low voice: "Every waiter here, the minimum requirement is a master's degree, and they must have enough emotional intelligence and excellent appearance, just take one out, they can be regarded as real beauties, with taste and connotation, if they are willing to do something with the guests, the manor will not care." ”

"Smoke miasma!"

Li Tianlan shook his head and said subconsciously.

Wang Yuetong glanced at Li Tianlan with some astonishment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Senior Brother Tianlan, you are so cute when you are old-fashioned." ”

Li Tianlan didn't bother to defend anything, and followed Wang Yuetong all the way forward.

After walking for more than ten minutes in the beautiful and quiet garden that seems to be unearthly, the destination finally appeared in front of me.

Less than twenty meters in sight is an octagonal pavilion supported by several thick columns, almost entirely surrounded by water, with only a path less than two meters wide leading to the center of the pavilion.

In the pavilion, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other on both sides of the stone table, seemingly playing chess.

Wang Yuetong quickened her pace slightly, and before she could get close, she shouted, "Second uncle." ”

In the pavilion, the young man sitting opposite the old man raised his head, and when he saw Wang Yuetong, a doting smile immediately appeared on his face, and when he saw Li Tianlan, he was slightly stunned, but his smile did not decrease, and he waved his hand to the two, but did not get up, but once again buried his head in focus on the chessboard in front of him.

Li Tianlan walked into the pavilion calmly, without looking at the old and young who were playing, and first subconsciously glanced at the chessboard.

Inside the chessboard, the black and white sons crisscrossed and covered almost the entire chessboard, and the two players had solemn expressions, and the falling pieces were getting slower and slower.

Li Tianlan knows a little about Go, and belongs to the kind of entry stage that only knows the rules but has not studied them in depth.

The black and white two sons on the chessboard are scattered, but the layout is really strange, almost illogical and unreasonable, just strangely, but I saw the old man with a dignified look put down the chess pieces casually, and said with a gentle smile: "If you don't play, if you go down again, the old way will lose, and you will be tired." ”

"It's a good game of backgammon, and it's a world-famous game. ”

Wang Yuetong smiled casually, although her tone was praise, but there was no sincerity.

"Chess is a puzzle thing, backgammon, Go, chess, and even checkers, the essence is the same, so why does the princess care what kind of chess it is? As long as she is happy, all chess is the same. ”

The old man raised his head and looked at Wang Yuetong and smiled.

The old man is about sixty or seventy years old, dressed in a green shirt, with long hair and short beard, and his beard is white, in terms of appearance, he can only be regarded as average, and even a little sickly pale on his face, the only thing that makes him feel extraordinary is his eyes.

The old man's eyes did not seem to be very wise and vicissitudes, but they were extremely bright, like stars, shining, and seemed to be able to see everything in an instant, but what impressed Li Tianlan the most was his temperament.

It was a temperament that was difficult to describe, as if it was a kind of subtlety and detachment that was pure to the extreme, and he sat there quietly, with a gentle smile and clear eyes, but it gave people the illusion that he did not look like a person in the world.

This is the Daomen strange man Xuan Xuanzi who is said to have regarded him as a guest even by Wang Tianzong?

"Moon Hitomi has seen the Taoist. ”

Wang Yuetong bowed down in a proper manner, but her tone was not convincing: "But the Taoist chief is not right, although backgammon and Go are both chess, but the rules are very different, how can these two ways of playing be confused?"

"It's all the same. ”

The old man's eyes were still gentle, with indescribable calmness and deep meaning: "The road is simple." ”

"This girl doesn't like to use her brain since she was a child, and she can't understand what you say. ”

The young man opposite the old man glanced at Wang Yuetong with a smile: "But this girl still has a conscience, she just ran over on vacation, even if I didn't hurt you in vain." ”

"Second uncle, it's not my main purpose to come to you, I heard that the old immortal Xuanxuanzi is here with you, so I came here to get rid of the immortal energy. ”

Wang Yuetong wrinkled her nose and muttered, took a step back, pulled Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is Senior Brother Li Tianlan, we are one term, Senior Brother Tianlan has the dual veins of wind and thunder, and his achievements in the future are limitless." ”

Wind and thunder!

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Wang Yuetong's second uncle Wang Xiaoyao, even Xuan Xuanzi, who was sitting opposite Wang Xiaoyao, had a violent flash in his eyes, and his bright eyes stared directly at Li Tianlan.

"In this way, that's a real young talent, Tianlan, Tianlan, this name is a bit interesting. ”

Wang Xiaoyao looked at Li Tianlan, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and smiled: "Tianlan, I'm Wang Xiaoyao, you and Yuetong are classmates, if you don't mind, just call me second uncle." ”

Li Tianlan glanced at Wang Xiaoyao seriously, shook hands with him, and called second uncle.

Wang Xiaoyao is thirty years old, but he looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he is tall and extremely handsome, he can be said to be a standard beautiful man, Ning Qiancheng said in WeChat that Wang Xiaoyao is the most domineering man in the Beihai Wang family, but at this moment, Li Tianlan can't see it at all, on the contrary, Wang Xiaoyao's eyes are extremely modest and calm, and his smile is also very sincere, which makes people feel good at a glance, without the slightest arrogance and domineering.

At this moment, Li Tianlan didn't know that today's encounter was a meeting of rivals in love to another extent, but because of the concept instilled in him by Ning Qiancheng, at this time, looking at Wang Xiaoyao, who was so low-key and modest, his inner vigilance was even worse, in his feeling, such a person was definitely countless times more dangerous than the kind of person who was arrogant and domineering on the outside.

"Sit down. ”

Wang Xiaoyao patted Li Tianlan's shoulder casually, and his movements were natural: "You are Yuetong's friend, and you are not an outsider, so don't be nervous." ”

Li Tianlan didn't say much, he sat down casually beside Wang Yuetong, and in his perception, not only Wang Xiaoyao was looking at himself, but even the old Taoist Xuanzi opposite Wang Xiaoyao, his eyes seemed to stay on him a little longer, Li Tianlan turned his head to look at him, and nodded slightly.

"Little friend trusts the destiny of heaven?"

Xuan Xuanzi, who had been observing Li Tianlan, suddenly asked with a smile, his tone gentle.

Li Tianlan didn't dare to be careless, the Central Continent is vast, there are countless strange people, although metaphysics is classified as superstitious thoughts, but the real metaphysics may not really exist.

His grandfather once told him that there are really a few half-immortal characters in Zhongzhou who can see through the fate of others at a glance although they are in the game, and the Xuan Xuanzi in front of him is regarded as a guest by the Beihai Wang clan, although Li Tianlan doesn't know if he also has the ability to see through his own fate at a glance, but he can be sure that the other party is definitely not a charlatan.

"Believe it or not. ”

Li Tianlan was silent for a long time before he said in a cautious tone.

"As it should be. ”

Xuan Xuanzi's smile became more and more kind, he stared at Li Tianlan's face seriously, his interest became stronger and stronger, and he said again: "Xiaoyou, everyone has a destiny, if you don't mind, give your left hand to the old Taoist to take a look, and listen to the old Taoist nag a few words about your destiny?"

Wang Xiaoyao was slightly stunned.

Wang Yuetong had some surprise in her eyes, this was originally the purpose of bringing Li Tianlan here recently.

Xuan Xuanzi is a real Taoist strange person, a master of metaphysics, according to legend, his eyes can not only see through the cause and effect of heaven and earth, but also manipulate some national fortunes, so not only the Beihai Wang clan will treat him as a guest, but even several power giants in the power center of the Central Continent Yin Longhai are courteous to him, and the words spoken by such strange people are almost all with a prophetic effect.

Wang Yuetong went to the Sky Academy this time, originally had the intention of digging talents for the Beihai Wang Clan, Li Tianlan is her most important target, not only because of his wind and thunder double veins, but also because of his way of life, Wang Yuetong is also sincerely appreciative, and even has some good feelings, if such a character joins the Beihai Wang Clan, once he enters the invincible realm in the future, even if he enters the thunder realm, the entire Beihai Wang Clan will be greatly strengthened.

Now it happens that Xuan Xuanzi has come to Huating, Wang Yuetong brought Li Tianlan over, let Xuan Xuanzi take a look at his fate, as long as he can give some guidance, he can make Li Tianlan's growth accelerate again.

For Li Tianlan, this is tantamount to kindness, and it is also equivalent to letting him get closer to the Beihai Wang Clan.

Wang Yuetong was originally thinking about how to tell Xuan Xuanzi, how did she know that Lao Dao was interested in Li Tianlan, which was simply the best.

Li Tianlan also seemed to be a little surprised, but there was no reason to refuse, even if the other party could really see through his fate, he didn't believe that the other party could really see his origin clearly, he groaned slightly, and directly stretched out his left hand in front of Xuan Xuanzi, and said sincerely: "There is a long way to go." ”

Xuan Xuanzi smiled and nodded, narrowed his clear eyes, and looked at it intently.

Li Tianlan waited quietly.

Wang Yuetong sat beside him, her hands intertwined, looking even more nervous than Li Tianlan.

Wang Xiaoyao, who noticed this detail, frowned, but didn't say anything.

Xuan Xuanzi watched for nearly five minutes, and just when Li Tianlan felt that he had fallen asleep, he moved, raised his eyes, looked at Li Tianlan and smiled: "Prosperity must decline, Xiaoyou is afraid that he experienced a lot of hardships when he was young, if Lao Dao didn't go away, about a year ago, Xiaoyou just experienced a life and death catastrophe, I don't know if Lao Dao is right?"

Li Tianlan subconsciously shook his left hand, and his face changed drastically.

Such a reaction does not need him to confirm anything at all, it already shows Xuan Xuanzi's accuracy.

Xuan Xuanzi didn't see all this, and continued: "The next words, it should be the sea and the sky, after Xiaoyou graduated from the Sky Academy, I suggest you go to Wu Yue to develop, Wu Yue has a royal spirit, if you can gain a foothold in Wu Yue, you will have no regrets in this life." Looking at the palmistry of the little friend, the rest of the life of the little friend has been completed, which can be described as extremely lucky, and there is a proud atmosphere. ”

Wang Xiaoyao instinctively narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold and flickering.

He didn't doubt Xuan Xuanzi's words, but in Xuan Xuanzi's words, there were two sentences that touched the most sensitive place in his heart.

The first is Wu Yue.

Wuyue Province is now the most prosperous and powerful province in Central Continent, the provincial capital Jinling, very close to Huating, and more importantly, the entire Wuyue Province can be said to be the back garden of the Beihai Wang, and its solidity is second only to Beihai Province.

Wu Yue is the place where the Beihai Wang clan first started, and it is good for Li Tianlan to join the Beihai Wang clan, but if he doesn't join, he will gain a foothold in Wuyue, where will the Beihai Wang clan be placed?

The second is because of the weather.

The so-called Tianjiao must be a person who has a profound impact on the dark world, such as the ancestor of the Beihai Wang clan who rose in Wuyue after the family was lonely hundreds of years ago, bringing the Beihai Wang clan to the peak.

The number one master in the dark world is not necessarily Tianjiao, but Tianjiao is definitely the number one master in the dark world.

Tianjiao is out, the catastrophe is coming, Tianjiao should be robbed, who should be Tianjiao?

These words also came from the mouth of Xuan Xuanzi, and what he said couldn't be more obvious.

Wang Xiaoyao looked at Li Tianlan, and then at Wang Yuetong, who was a little excited in his eyes, his expression changed, and finally he hid all the killing intentions and regained his calm again.

Li Tianlan looked at Xuan Xuanzi seriously and said respectfully: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Xuan Xuanzi smiled and waved his hand, and just as he wanted to speak, Li Tianlan's phone suddenly rang.

Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically at a few people, and walked to the side to pick up the phone.

"I went to find something to eat, my brother and I didn't have breakfast, we starved to death. ”

Wang Yuetong said a word, and also stood up and left.

In the pavilion again, only Wang Xiaoyao and Xuan Xuanzi remained.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Xuan Xuanzi glanced at Wang Xiaoyao, who was thoughtful, and suddenly smiled: "Xiaoyao moved the killing intent just now?"

Wang Xiaoyao did not hide it, smiled bitterly, and made a tacit acquiescence.

"Not at all. ”

Xuan Xuanzi said softly: "Standing in the position of the Beihai Wang Clan, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise it may be self-defeating." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Wang Xiaoyao subconsciously sat up straight and asked intently.

"It's literal. ”

Xuan Xuanzi smiled: "Within ten years, this son is extremely lucky, if you can get closer to him, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"Within ten years?"

Wang Xiaoyao frowned, he could listen to every word of Xuan Xuanzi and think seriously: "What will happen after ten years?"

Xuan Xuanzi lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "Ten years later, he will definitely die." ”

Lao Dao stretched out his hand and pinched a chess piece on the chessboard and rubbed it gently, and sighed: "The waves are magnificent, a sad song, it's a pity." ”
