Beiyin Great Sage
Chapter 186 Undercurrent
"I remember back then, when I first came to Shicheng, I was young and had nothing to do. I was stuck in the backyard of my house all day. Thanks to you guys, you often went to accompany me, so I wouldn't be too lonely."
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Ouyang Huan's pretty face flushed, drunkenness appeared in her eyes, and she smiled foolishly:
"Now that I think about it, it was really interesting back then."
Ouyang's family has lived in Shicheng for generations, but she did not. Instead, she lived with her mother in the inner gate of Xuantian League, and did not come here until her mother died.
"I'm afraid you don't know." Lei Mei chuckled:
"The reason why we were able to get in at that time was because the city lord was open-minded. He just pretended not to know."
"The City Lord looks indifferent on the surface, but in fact he cares about you very much."
"More than that." Qingye's voice was cold:
"I didn't want to go at the time, but my father forced me to go with a whip."
"This person." Ouyang Huan was speechless and pointed at the other person:
"It's always such a letdown."
"Is it possible that your father asked you to come here today, so you came here?"
Lei Mei made a move on his hand.
"..."
Qing Ye looked at Lei Mei, picked up the wine glass, and her voice was as cold as ever:
"That's not true."
"laugh……"
Lei Mei pursed her lips, and the two women raised their glasses to each other:
"It seems that I am still more popular than Sister Huan."
"It is." Yurong pursed her lips and smiled softly:
"When you were little, you were stronger than anyone else. Those boys bullied us, and it was you who drove them away every time."
“Of course the most popular!”
"This is not a good reputation. It has prevented me from finding a husband." Lei Mei shook his head repeatedly, and the women laughed one after another.
pity.
Although the laughter is still there, the mood is completely different.
Nowadays, Lei Mei is constantly being challenged by others, and he is used to watching people's words and expressions. He has long lost the leisure and elegance of the past.
She could see that although the women treated her as normal on the surface, there were still some differences.
From time to time, Ouyang Huan would mention his father's difficulties and the difficulty of being a city lord, and then talk about how great it would be if the Tianhu Gang could cooperate.
I'm afraid it will lay a solid foundation for the future relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Tianhu Gang.
Although the words are not obvious, it makes people have to think so.
Yurong raised her glass frequently, her expression a little unnatural, as if she was trying to please.
Qingye's temperament was clear and transparent, and he was the most innocent among the people. His eyes began to be filled with other thoughts.
Not to mention Chen Ying.
Former friends have long since considered themselves subordinates.
It’s different!
Everything is different.
Maybe she was too naive at the beginning and didn't realize that this was the case, or it was the difference in status that affected and changed her.
Just like always.
She would never take hangover medicine in advance when she was with her sisters to ensure that she remained calm at all times.
Own,
It’s changed too!

hall.
Zhou Jia took out a pill and drank it, then he practiced silently with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
Following the pull of the Shenhuang Jue method, the majestic medicinal power contained in the elixir poured into the limbs and bones, integrating and strengthening the source power.
The guards in the field are used to this.
Everyone knows that Elder Zhou is a martial arts fanatic who is crazy about martial arts. No matter how busy he is, he will take the opportunity to practice as long as he has a little time.
No wonder,
He has such cultivation at such a young age.
However, in the eyes of others, practicing this way is simply abusing oneself.
Even Lei Mei can't see it sometimes and advises Zhou Jia to learn to enjoy life. There are too many things in this world worth cherishing.
In response, Zhou Jia just smiled lightly.
For him, watching his cultivation, strength, and martial arts improve little by little every day is the greatest enjoyment.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhou Jia opened his eyes, frowned, and looked somewhere outside Qihuju. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and he waved back:
"Somebody come!"
"Elder Zhou!"
A man came in a hurry.
Zhou Jia spoke:
"Let me tell Miss Mei, you need to drink in moderation. You have to go out of the city to visit the Taoist priest of Gemstone Temple tomorrow morning. Please pay attention to the time."
"This..." The visitor's face froze and he said:
"Elder, Miss Mei is having a good time with her friends upstairs. Wouldn't it be better for us to go there like this... Can we wait a little longer?"
"Huh?" Zhou Jia's face darkened and he stood up:
"I'll tell you personally."
"Elder Zhou!" At this time, a man came outside the room and cupped his fists and cupped his hands:
"I have just arrived, so why rush to leave? Uncle Xue on the island heard that you are here and asked me to please come over and meet you."
"Uncle Xue." Zhou Jia paused, pondered for a moment, and nodded:
"Okay, lead the way."
…………
Xue Xiao is in her fifties, well maintained, and with her mid-level black iron cultivation, she looks almost the same as a thirty-year-old woman.
Especially her temper, which is extremely hot.
He doesn't look like a weather-beaten old man over fifty years old.
Seeing Zhou Jia push open the door and enter, she just nodded with a condescending attitude:
"You came."
"Uncle Master." Zhou Jia cupped his fists and raised his hands, his eyes scanning the people in the field:
"Everyone is here."
Except for banquets between acquaintances, most gatherings of upper-class people are shared meals, with each person having a table, meal, and drink in front of him.
Each table is served by a dedicated person.
Here, the same is true.
However, the status of those who are having the banquet today is even more noble.
Xue Xiao on Xiaolang Island, Su E from the Su family, and Ren Nantian from the City Lord's Mansion are all well-known middle-level black iron masters in Shicheng.
Even the people standing behind them were all famous figures in the city, but now they were only qualified to serve tea and pour wine.
The leader is a young man in white.
"Zhou Jia." Xue Xiao stretched out his hand to lead the host:
"This is Mr. Ji Xianji, please meet him soon."
Your surname is Ji?
Chixiaojunji family?
"Mr. Ji." Zhou Jia held his hand.
His eyes passed over the other person, and his eyes met each other. His eyes shrank subconsciously, his skin and flesh tensed, and he felt even more surprised in his heart.
Late stage of black iron!
Mr. Ji has a white face and no beard, a handsome appearance, and an extremely outstanding temperament. He is dressed in white clothes that are not stained by dust, and he has a sense of coming out of the dust.
His true age is hard to tell, but his aura is as deep as the sea and hard to guess.
Among the people Zhou Jia has seen, there are probably only two people on Xiaolang Island who are stronger than this person. They are worthy of being from the military Ji family.
Any talker has this level of cultivation.
Behind him, there were two women.
Even from Zhou Jia's perspective, he had to admit that the appearance, temperament and even figure of the two women were far beyond comparison.
Even the Lei Mei girls are far behind.
Only a woman named Bai Feng whom I met once could beat him by a few points.
"Zhou Jia."
Mr. Ji's voice was full of masculine magnetism. He looked down and nodded slowly:
"During this period, your name has almost made my ears tingle. It's not bad to have such a level of cultivation at such a young age."
"We met a few days ago."
He picked up the wine glass and smiled calmly:
"It's quite courageous to kill someone in front of General Niu."
Zhou Jia was stunned.
It turned out that the other party was the mysterious person in the room that day. No wonder he was surrounded by people from all walks of life. This person seemed to be looking for something else when he stayed in Shicheng.
"Mr. Ji is too praised." Xue Xiao waved his hand:
"This junior Zhou Jia is young and energetic, and he doesn't know how high the sky is. As for his cultivation, he is just a beginner in black iron, so what does it mean?"
These words,
If Zhou Jia talks about it himself, it can be said that he is modest.
But Xue Xiao's attitude was arrogant and too derogatory. The key was that the relationship between the two was not as good as this.
Naturally it makes people unhappy.
"Heitie, who is about thirty years old, is already pretty good." Ren Nantian from the City Lord's Mansion stroked his beard and chuckled:
"After all, this place is not as good as the inner sect or the military. At this age, I have not yet entered the tenth rank, let alone achieved the black iron."
"Yes." Su E nodded:
"In Mr. Ji's eyes, Zhou Jia's achievements in black iron at such an age can only be regarded as good, but in our eyes, he is already extremely talented."
"Not to mention..."
He glanced at Zhou Jia and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhou was personally taught by Gang Leader Lei, and his purple thunder ax skills are so good that even General Niu was amazed."
"Ener, you have to study more!"
The last sentence was addressed to a young man behind him.
"yes."
Su angrily nodded and held his hands towards Zhou Jia:
"When you have time, I will make sure to ask Elder Zhou for advice."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhou Jia was quite familiar with Su Yi. He was once a frequent visitor to the gambling house and his strength was already at the tenth level.
"Zhou is just lucky and not worthy of praise."
Now speak:
"I am lucky to be able to see Mr. Ji today, but I still have something to do..."
"Why are you so anxious?" Xue Xiao frowned:
"I know you are wandering around with that girl from Lei Mei. Humph, a daughter's family really thinks that she can suppress the tens of thousands of members of the Tianhu Gang?"
"Sit down. It's a rare opportunity to get to know Mr. Ji. There's no need to rush back."
The Yang family supports Lei Mei.
she,
He didn't like Lei Batian in his early years, and because of Qiu Bowei's relationship, he was more optimistic about Qiu Yingchen. He didn't want Zhou Jia to help Lei Mei all the time.
"otherwise."
Zhou Jia said calmly:
"Uncle Xue is also a woman, but her magnanimity is far superior to that of a man. Come to think of it, no man would dare to be arrogant and domineering in front of you, right?"
"Haha..." Mr. Ji laughed, seeming to find it quite interesting, and then waved his hand:
"Don't be in a hurry when you go back and add another table!"
"yes."
Someone immediately responded and placed tables, stools, wine and food where Xue Xiao started.
Zhou Jia had no choice but to sit down with his hands folded.
"Bang..."
Opposite me, Su An was pouring wine. Suddenly, the wine glass fell to the ground, which also made Su E look displeased:
"The hair is frizzy, what does it look like?"
Then he waved his sleeves:
"You can go out. I don't need you to serve me here. I'm not happy to see your pale face."
"Second uncle." Su angrily lowered his head and held his hands in his hands:
"Then take my leave, junior."
"roll!"
Su E waved his sleeves.
Zhou Jia sat across from him, watching Su Anwei shrinking away, his eyes thoughtful, and then fell on Xue Xiao, who was above him.
He opened his mouth to speak and wanted to resign.
"Speaking of which, little brother Zhou is very good with axes and shields, but as warriors like us, it is really difficult for us to keep our weapons with us at all times."
Su Er spoke at the right time and interrupted his movements:
"So, you can't relax in your boxing and kicking skills."
"How about we learn from each other?"
The other people in the field all had their eyes lit up.

liquor,
The more he drank, the more he drank.
the sky,
It's also getting darker.
Ouyang Huan was usually carefree, but he was the worst drinker among the group. Now his eyes were blurry and he was smiling like crazy.
"drink!"
"Keep drinking!"
"We can continue, I'm afraid you really can't make it." Qingye shook her head speechlessly, clapped her hands, and called a few maids over:
"What did your lady say, should you go back home or rest here?"
"The lady said she wanted to drink to her heart's content." The maid looked at the drunken Ouyang Huan with a worried look on her face:
"If it gets too late, I won't go back."
Lei Mei looked at the sky outside and shook his head secretly:
"That's all. Let's feed her some hangover soup first and rest in a side room. When I go back, I will pass by the City Lord's Mansion and see her off on the way."
"That's fine."
The women nodded.
"yes."
The maid responded and stepped forward to help Ouyang Huan, who was almost unconscious, and sent him to a side room to rest.
"Miss Mei."
Chen Ying, smelling of alcohol, came up from downstairs and whispered:
"Elder Zhou was called over by the seniors from Xiaolang Island. He hasn't come back yet, but he left a message to ask Miss to pay attention to your safety."
"He's not here." Lei Mei didn't pay attention to what Zhou Jia left, and his eyes lit up:
"That's nice, finally being able to relax."
In the past few days, although Zhou Jia was with her and she didn't have to worry about safety, she felt constrained by being watched all the time.
Like now.
When drinking, you have to pay attention to the time, lest the other party rushes you and you will not be able to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
"You are already going to be the leader of the gang, are you still afraid that your subordinates will fail?" Yurong shook her head, smiled and helped her fill the wine glass:
"We agreed that we won't come home until we get drunk today, so how can we leave easily?"
"Don't worry, I've reserved a room here. Even if you're too drunk to move, I can still let you have a good sleep."
"Forget it!" The potion of the sobering medicine seems to be no match for the wine. Lei Mei already feels drunk, and she is even more faintly excited:
"drink!"
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
…………
Side yard.
Su An and a few others sat down in the courtyard and waited quietly.
Not long after.
"squeak……"
The courtyard door was pushed open, and a woman walked in cautiously:
"Master Su."
"Yeah." Su An nodded:
"What did your lady say?"
"The young lady asked you to wait a moment and let you go when there is news." The woman, dressed in a maid's dress, lowered her head and said timidly:
"It won't be long."
Hearing this, Su An smiled. Even though he often wandered among flowers, he couldn't help but feel hot when he thought about what was about to happen.
"good!"
"I am waiting."
