Master is respected

The owner of Liao City is named Xie Xiaoxian. He is in his thirties this year. He is well maintained and looks like he has just passed his thirties.He is tall and tall, with a handsome appearance, but he has a good skin.

The city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and he stood in the living room with his hands behind his back, looking up at the dark sky outside the barrier, wondering what he was thinking.The candlelight in the house fell on his body, casting a light yellow halo.

Uncle Zhong asked everyone to wait outside the door for a while, and he went in to report, Xie Xiaoxian listened with his ears, his complexion changed slightly.

"City Lord, what should we do?" Uncle Zhong was a little anxious. Things were different from what they expected, and all the strangers came.If Elder Qi hadn't been among them, Uncle Zhong would really have thought it was the disciples of the Sanqing Sect who came to play.

After all, Xie Xiaoxian is the lord of a city, even if the situation is out of control, he doesn't panic, he quickly figured out a way to deal with it, and calmly ordered: "What are you panicking? Whoever it is, don't mess around. These people will be dealt with by me, you go down and make arrangements, and don't show your flaws."

Zhong Bo repeatedly said yes, bowed and left.

Xie Xiaoxian put away the expression on his face, put on a smiling face, turned around and went out to welcome everyone in.

The city lord's mansion is prosperous but not extravagant. The hall for receiving guests is elegant and generous. The floor is covered with fine velvet blankets, so people will not make too much noise when walking on it.The furniture carved from pear blossom wood depicts delicate patterns in detail.The maidservants on the left and right have delicate appearances, regular facial features, graceful and graceful in green clothes and willow waists.

Xie Xiaoxian had a smile on his face, his eyes quickly swept across the crowd, and he didn't stay for too long.He called everyone to sit down, and was slightly surprised when he saw that Elder Qi did not sit in front, but gave up his seat to a young girl.

Most of Jiang Yuehan and his group are young and vigorous disciples, no matter how you look at them, Elder Qi is more like the leader of the team.But what is surprising is that he is subservient and respectful to a junior.Not only that, after the junior, there is also a young man in black who is more important than Elder Qi.

In this way, Elder Qi is like the third in command, an existence that cannot control the situation.His role is negligible, no wonder Uncle Zhong is anxious.

Xie Xiaoxian felt a little heavy in his heart, but there was no abnormality on his face. He cupped his hands at Jiang Yuehan and said, "The lord of Xialiao City, Xie Xiaoxian, what do you call the girl?"

Jiang Yuehan nodded slightly, and said, "Jiang Yuehan."

Xie Xiaoxian was startled, the smile on his face froze for a moment.He looked at the beautiful and cold girl in front of him, and it was difficult to connect her with the rumored Jiang Yuehan.

Yuqing's master disciple and the idol of the younger generation of the Sanqingzong, it's no wonder that Elder Qi also shuns the edge.Xie Xiaoxian did not expect that the incident in Liaocheng would fall on her head. This person only has rumors but no evidence. If she is ignored because of her age, she may suffer a big loss.

Xie Xiaoxian's thoughts quickly turned around, he was both surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "I have admired you for a long time, the girl's name is like thunder, and today I have a chance to meet you, it is really extraordinary."

Jiang Yuehan didn't change his face, and said calmly: "I'm ashamed to be wronged by others."

Simple eight words, no surprises, no other emotions.Xie Xiaoxian's eyes dimmed, the smile on his face remained undiminished, he turned his head to look at the man in black, and said, "This Taoist priest looks extraordinary, who is he?"

Zou Buwen was lazily lying on the pear blossom wooden chair, and when he heard Xie Xiaoxian's compliment, he raised his eyes and said, "City Master Xie, we are old acquaintances, so let's save the words on these occasions."

The familiar voice made Xie Xiaoxian stunned. He didn't look carefully just now, but now he was unceremoniously gagged. Displeasure rose from the bottom of his heart, and he also noticed that the young man looked familiar.He pondered for a moment in his mind, and gradually connected the face in front of him with a certain boy from many years ago.

Exactly the same lazy, exactly the same impatient.

"Are you...Zou Buwen?" Xie Xiaoxian asked uncertainly, but suddenly became sure after asking.

He should have thought earlier that, except for Zou Buwen, no one would still look like this.Thinking that since he became the city lord, others have always treated him with respect and respect, even if there are some things that are not obvious to the eye, they will give him a three-pointer on the surface.Only this person never gave him a good face, and he was unhappy when he was unhappy, which made him almost unable to step down several times.

At that time, Xie Xiaoxian didn't care about him when he was young. Later, when his master passed away and he had no contact with him, he gradually forgot about it. He didn't expect to meet again one day, and it was still in such a situation.

Xie Xiaoxian's face was a little stiff, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be maintained.If Jiang Yuehan only made him wary, then Zou Buwen completely tightened a string in his mind.

Where Elder Qi was looking for helpers for him, he was clearly making things difficult for him.

Sensing the delicate atmosphere between the two, Elder Qi asked suspiciously, "Master Zou, you know City Master Xie? Then why haven't you mentioned it before?"

It's not a big deal that Zou Buwen and Xie Xiaoxian know each other, it doesn't matter whether they talk about it or not.Elder Qi suddenly came here to ask, but he felt a bit of blame.

Zou Buwen sneered, and said, "City Master Xie takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, and he usually sees famous people. Daoist disciples like me have seen eight hundred even if they haven't seen a thousand. If everyone knows each other in public, how can Xie City Master know it?" Don't you want to become a busy person and leave a name everywhere?"

Zou Buwen had something in his words, Xie Xiaoxian didn't take care of the affairs of Liaocheng much, he was good at forming cliques, usually those things were handed over to his subordinates.And his hobbies are beauties and beauties, showing mercy everywhere.He has a beautiful wife in his family and loves to mess around with women. He dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife not once or twice, so Zou Buwen finds him more and more distasteful.

Xie Xiaoxian heard Zou Buwen's implication, and said with a sneer, "Master Zou is too modest. You are the master of the Sanqing Sect, and even the master of the Seven Star Sect will treat you with respect. My little city master is here It is nothing in your eyes, you can remember it, I am very relieved."

Xie Xiaoxian himself is capable of bending and stretching, and he doesn't feel ashamed of self-deprecation, and he still greets him with a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, you don't hit people with smiling faces when you stretch out your hands. Xie Xiaoxian behaved like this, if it were someone else, he would have complimented him back immediately, and everyone would be friendly and friendly.But what he was facing was Zou Buwen, who was the least friendly person among the Sanqingzong group.

Zou Buwen looked at Xie Xiaoxian, suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed, and said: "Back then, I still remember Xie Chengzhu's charming wife by his side, and her well-behaved daughter, I really envied others. My master once told me that marrying a wife should be like Mrs. Ling It's a pity that the heavens are jealous of the beauty, and the madam is gone, leaving behind the young Miss Qianjin. So many years have passed, I don't know if Lingqian is okay?"

The huge city lord's mansion is brightly lit and orderly. It looks harmonious, but in fact there is a chill.In the Xie Xiaoxian Hall, there was a beautiful maidservant at the door, those who knew it was a servant girl, but those who didn't know it thought it was a concubine of the mansion.

Zou Buwen felt that the atmosphere in the house was a bit too cold, and that Miss Xie who met once when she was a child didn't know if she was alright.

Xie Xiaoxian's face changed again and again, the smile on his face finally couldn't be maintained, he sat in the first seat and was blocked by Zou Buwen's words, he raised his hand to grab the cup on the table, but his palm was empty.

"Come on, why hasn't the tea you served to the guests arrived yet?" Xie Xiaoxian endured so much that he didn't slap the table and asked sharply at the door.

There was a commotion among the maidservants standing at the door, and the two at the farthest retreated to prepare tea.

It has been a long time since the city lord's mansion has seen any strangers, without Xie Xiaoxian's order, these maids dare not act rashly.The dark sky outside the city lord's mansion seemed to be born from the heart of a person, and it was dull and breathless.

Facing Xie Xiaoxian's thin anger, Zou Buwen didn't care, and Jiang Yuehan didn't have any special reaction.The other disciples were in a cloud of fog, simply watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, pretending that they didn't hear anything.

Elder Qi finally understood that Zou Buwen and Xie Xiaoxian did not deal with each other, and the atmosphere between the two was really dignified and difficult to balance.Elder Qi had a lot of doubts in his heart, he knew that now was not a good time to ask questions, so he suppressed all the words in his stomach.

The maid who went down to prepare tea came back quickly and served everyone a cup of tea.There was a gust of fragrant wind as they walked, and their clothes were soft | soft and elegant, they really didn't look like ordinary maids.

Jiang Yuehan frowned when he smelled the faint scent of incense powder, picked up the tea on the table and touched his lips in a decent manner, but did not drink it.There are still many mysteries in Liaocheng. Before the situation is clarified, it is better to be careful about the things at the entrance.

One or two of the other people had this kind of thought more or less. They didn't look strange on the surface, but they knew to be on guard in their hearts.

After drinking a cup of tea and fresh water, Elder Qi saw that the atmosphere between each other was still a bit delicate, so he cleared his throat and explained to Xie Xiaoxian the reason for his visit.Jiang Yuehan said at the door that she was here for the Hundred Flowers Association, and now Elder Qi naturally followed her instructions.They all knew that there was something different in the city, but no one mentioned it first.

"Everyone is a guest from afar, and it is my honor to live in my house. You have traveled all day from outside the city, so you can rest easy and rest, and we can talk about anything after you have rested." Xie Xiaoxian Suppressing the anger brought up by Zou Buwen, he got up and called the maid, and ordered: "Chuntao, Qiushui, take the guests down to rest."

Two beautiful maids stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation with their slender hands.Jiang Yuehan thanked and took everyone away.

The courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion is divided into men and women, and the two maids arranged different courtyards for everyone.Jiang Yuehan lived with He Piao, while the others were separated from them by some distance.

Xie Xiaoxian sat in the reception hall without moving. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and felt a headache. Thinking of Zou Buwen's attitude, he became furious and threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

With a crisp sound, the cup shattered into pieces, and the maid at the door was terrified.

A figure stepped in, wondering, "What's the matter? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

Xie Xiaoxian raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the person coming, he became even more angry, and said angrily: "If you had been two steps earlier, you would have seen how speechless I was when I was told. I am a mere Zou Buwen, and I went to Wushimen , under an unknown name, but relying on Yuqing's appreciation to become a hall master, he dared to show off in front of me."

"It's been so many years, who would dare to mention Bai Xianxian in front of me? Only him! What do you say that marrying a wife should be like Ling's wife, and getting a daughter should be like Ling's daughter. If it weren't for the power of the Bai family, I would want a woman like Bai Xianxian ? You say you are from a scholarly family, but you are actually dull and ignorant of taste, so you just let me find a woman."

"And that dead girl, who dared to pack up her things and run away! Let our painstaking efforts be ruined. If I didn't find her, I would be trapped in the city lord's mansion, struggling?"

The more Xie Xiaoxian spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes were full of killing intent, his face flushed red, and he wished to smash the hatred in his heart to pieces one by one.

The visitor heard him vent, frowned and said, "Why did Elder Qi bring Zou Buwen here?"

"It's not just Zou Buwen, he even brought Jiang Yuehan. Those who should come have not come, and those who shouldn't have come!" Xie Xiaoxian punched angrily. It's too late.

In order to minimize the loss, they used the dark chess hidden in Sanqingzong, but they were disrupted one after another.

It's true that blessings never come together, and misfortunes never come singly.
