Alienated Martial Arts

"Brother Huang, why don't you continue to let them compete? The final winner has not been determined yet."

Bai Youyou's beautiful eyes rolled, and she turned to smile at Huang Qilin beside her.

"That's almost it."

Huang Qilin admired the red plum blossoms in the garden and said in a gentle tone, "After all, the main purpose of today is to visit the garden and enjoy the plum blossoms, not to kill people."

"Little sister, listen to Brother Huang."

Bai Youyou smiled brightly, and after thinking for a moment, he took out two wooden boxes from his sleeves and placed them on the table.

Opening the lid of the box, there were four bright red pills neatly arranged inside.

The pills exuded an intoxicating aroma, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around them.

Huang Qilin's eyes flashed, and he said with emotion, "I didn't expect Miss Bai to be so generous. It was just a small competition to add to the fun, and she gave out such a precious prize."

Bai Youyou had a calm expression and said with a slight smile, "If Brother Huang needs it, I will help you with both hands."

"I won't need it yet. Let's talk about it when we need it." Huang Qilin waved his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Zhou Mingyi, who returned to his seat, did not hide his fiery eyes, "I didn't expect Miss Youyou to take the Blood Jade Pill as a prize. I should have played two more games just now."

Bai Youyou covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master Zhou wants the Blood Jade Pill, just tell me directly, there is no need to go to so much trouble."

As she spoke, she directly picked up a box on the table and handed it to Zhou Mingyi without any hesitation.

Zhou Mingyi stretched out his hand to hold down the wooden box, "Since Miss Bai is so kind, I have no choice but to accept it shamelessly."

Bai Youyou smiled faintly, looked at the remaining wooden box on the table, and then looked at the two people confronting each other.

After thinking for a moment, he threw another piece of stuff out and placed it side by side with the wooden box containing the Blood Jade Pill.

Compared with those pill pills that were crystal clear and as lustrous as jade, the other thing had no characteristics and was completely unable to attract attention.

This is a yellow flake.

It looks a bit like a lead-containing copper coin, but it is not shaped like a round sky and a square, but rather like a leaf with slightly pointed ends and an oval in the middle.

Huang Qilin picked up this thin piece that looked like a gold leaf with some curiosity and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.

He played with it for a while and then put it back in its place. He couldn't help but wonder, "Miss Bai, what is the prize you took out last time?"

"At first glance, it looks like a gold leaf, but the material it feels is different from gold. Instead, it looks more like wood chips or bone chips."

Bai Youyou shook her head, "I don't know what they are, maybe they are decorations on a certain object."

"These are the gadgets I found in my master's study when I was cleaning on the mountain. He also asked me to keep them as gold leaves so that I can buy them when I come down from the mountain.

It turned out that Brother Huang also saw it, and it wasn’t until the end that I finally realized that it was just useless garbage..."

A sly smile appeared on her face, "Anyway, I just gave the second Blood Jade Pill to Mr. Zhou, and this is the only thing left on me that I can use as a gift. Whoever is unlucky and didn't grab the Blood Jade Pill, That’s not my fault.”

On the fighting field.

The eldest son of the Huang family has already spoken, which can be regarded as setting the tone for this competition.

Even with all kinds of anger and reluctance, Chen Chengshan could only dissipate his energy and blood, bend down and pick up his brother and move back.

After a while, the two were led to the main table.

Two pieces of silk were placed in front of them.

On one piece were four blood jade pills, and on the other piece of silk cloth were yellow "gold leaves".

"This is the prize for the winner of the competition. You two can choose it yourself."

Bai Youyou smiled and pointed at the two sides of silk cloth on the table.

"Whoever gets it first wins the prize."

Chen Chengshan's eyes flashed with light, and without any hesitation he hurried forward and grabbed the four Blood Jade Pills.

At the same time, his legs under the table were surging with energy and blood, and a vague upper-knee hook was about to block Wei Tao's path forward.

Zhou Mingyi and the other three young people watched with great interest, and were somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.

Only Huang Qilin sat still, closing his eyes and concentrating, turning a blind eye to everything that happened in front of him.

Boom!

Chen Chengshan's kick landed, but it was empty.

He stepped heavily on the ground and even the table shook slightly.

Grabbing four crystal clear bright red pills in his hand, Chen Chengshan moved a little distance to one side to guard against Wei Tao's interference and snatching.

Only then did he realize that Wei Tao was still standing where he was, not even moving.

His expression looked a little strange, as if he was in a daze.

His eyes didn't even glance at Chen Chengshan and the four Blood Jade Pills. He looked straight ahead from beginning to end, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Youyou showed an inexplicable smile, "Master Wei keeps looking at the table for what he is doing. Could it be that he doesn't like the remaining prize?"

"But there is no way. Who made you move slowly? But after you come down, you can also discuss it with Mr. Chen and see if he can exchange rewards with you."

"No, I'll just get another prize."

Wei Tao slowly shook his head and stepped forward to put away the "gold leaf".

Chen Chenghai's eyes were stern, fixed on Wei Tao's face, and he said silently, "You are dead."

Wei Tao looked at him and said silently, "I'm waiting for you."

Wei Tao did not attend the next banquet, and got into the carriage with Tan Pan and returned to the outer city.

When coming out of Meiyuan, Wei Tao suddenly saw a familiar figure through the gap in the car curtain.

The man was still wearing a scholar's long shirt, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand on a cold day, making a very elegant and suave gesture.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, remembering who this person was.

It turns out that it was the little lotus that showed its sharp horns, and the Holy Mother had already stood on it.

If it hadn't been for this guy's interference that day, he would have been able to find his money bag at that time, and there would not have been a series of incidents that followed.

People and cars passed by on both sides of the stone road and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

"What is Junior Brother Wei looking at?" Tan Pan asked.

Wei Tao closed the curtains, withdrew his gaze and fell on Tan Pan's hand, "It's nothing. Is Senior Brother seriously injured?"

Tan Pan said, "In this fight, my foundation was damaged. I need to rest for at least more than a month, and it depends on how my subsequent recovery goes."

He sighed softly, "I still can't figure it out why the Iron Legs would kill people without any scruples in such a place and on such an occasion. It's obvious that we have nothing to do with them before..."

Wei Tao was silent, but what he was thinking about at this time was "The red light shines on the sky, and the golden lotus surges on the ground."

And what is the origin of the strange looks that appeared one after another in Yaoshi Alley in the outer city and Plum Blossom Garden in the inner city.

If they are all related to the Red Light Society,

Then contact the mummy that had been drained of blood before,

That's a big problem.

This means that the entire Cangyuan City, whether it is the outer city or the inner city, has been shrouded in a heavy haze.

Another direction.

The maid Xiaoyue walked towards Meiyuan in a hurry with a fur cloak in her arms and a huge medicine bag.

Walking on the stone path in the garden, a figure wearing a long gown and holding a folding fan came towards me.

Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran up to the man in three steps and two steps at a time.

An aggrieved expression appeared on his face, and he pouted and blamed, "Brother Zhao, where have you been these past few days? I managed to get the lady to go to your store twice, but you... Not here."

The man's name is Zhao Zhi, and he is a collateral descendant of the Zhao family among the five surnames in the inner city.

The family runs a teahouse in the inner city and a half-old house, which is considered all the family property.

There are many children like him in the inner city. They are not directly related to the three major families, nor are they direct relatives of the five surnames. If they can continue to be established in the inner city from generation to generation, it is already a good result.

Some people just lie down and eat and drink all day long.

Others want to restore the glory of their own branch and return to the core of power and wealth in the inner city.

Zhao Zhi falls into the latter category.

He studied and practiced martial arts, and concentrated on working in the camp. He had only one purpose, and that was to let his own lineage occupy the Zhao family's ancestral hall in the inner city again.

Then let those people in the main family who have eaten so much to spit out everything.

"Not only did you blame me wrongly, but you also didn't believe me." Zhao Zhi looked around and coaxed the little girl to become happy with a few words.

Not only did she forget to continue asking questions, but she began to whisper softly about what happened recently.

When the man saw what was in her hand, he couldn't help but be curious, "Miss Xiaoyue, what are you carrying?"

Xiaoyue didn't hide anything and told the whole story of the cause and effect. At the end, she was still angry and unfair.

"The young lady doesn't know what's going on. She's just a mud-legged person from the outer city. Is it worth paying such a price for her to return the gift!?"

Zhao Zhi took a deep breath, smelled the strong aroma of the medicine in the bag, and felt the energy and blood in his body surge inexplicably.

"Miss Xiaoyue, do you think the man from the outer city knows about the gift that Miss Qu is planning to give in return?"

"He was sent away by the young lady early in the morning. You know what the heck." Xiao Yue became more and more excited as she spoke, even swearing.

Zhao Zhi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then do you think they will meet again in the near future?"

"The lady didn't like him at all. He still wants to meet the lady again?"

Xiao Yue spat as she spoke, "He can't even pass my test!"

Zhao Zhi's eyes flashed with light, and an idea mushroomed in his mind, quickly taking root and sprouting.

This is a whole box of top-grade medicinal materials.

Not to mention there are ten meridians in it.

If he could be allowed to take it, he might be able to break through blood coagulation in one fell swoop.

At that time, maybe Qu Shang will look at him differently, and his previous dull and distant attitude will no longer be the same.
