The singing and dancing below was still there, but Xu Ziyan felt that the noisy voices receded as quickly as flowing water.

"You...you...you are the one..." Xu Ziyan's expression was almost blank, he stretched out his finger, stammered for a while, but still couldn't say the words of confirmation.

No wonder he felt this man's voice was familiar when he was at the door earlier.

No wonder that woman is here.

original, original,

"Xu Ziyan, put down your hand." Patriarch Xu, who didn't know it, let out a low voice, "Apologize to City Master Xie, you are too rude."

Sheng Hongguang quickly pulled down his cousin's hand with an extremely displeased expression.

How could a strong man like City Lord Xie be pointed at so offensively by others? If he was not still at the banquet, he would definitely beat up the rude people.

City Lord Sheng glanced at Xu Ziyan in surprise, then turned his head to look at the young and handsome man over there, "City Lord Xie threw tens of millions of gold at the Magic Gold Firm that day, and his reputation is well known. Stand shoulder to shoulder with you?"

"City Master Sheng's words are wrong. There is a saying that is good. There are heaven and man outside the sky and there are people outside the sky." When the handsome and powerful young master was speaking, his eyes were fixed on Xu Ziyan, even the dull master Xu also noticed the problem.

His son is afraid that he caused trouble, and it's not a trivial matter.

Xu Ziyan was sweating like rain, and his heart was beating like thunder.

He is finished.

"Nizi!" Patriarch Xu put down his glass heavily, "What did you do?"

"I...I..." Xu Ziyan hesitated, unable to say a word for a while.

The sound of silk and bamboo under the court stopped for a while, and after the dancers in the central area retreated gracefully, the crisp and melodious sound of Guqin suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

A woman in an ice-blue dance dress walked to the center with her pipa in her arms, bowed gracefully to the high platform, her shy and timid eyes slid across the face of the white-haired man in black clothes very quickly.

After receiving City Master Sheng's gaze, Master Xu realized that this is not a good place to ask questions, so he stood up and bowed to Xie Xun, "I'm sorry for your impoliteness."

Patriarch Xu put down his hands and stepped down the steps. When he passed by Xu Ziyan, he gave his son a hard look.

"Get out." Patriarch Xu's voice, even if he lowered his voice, he couldn't suppress his anger.

Xu Ziyan's scalp was numb, and he was about to go out to die. After walking a few steps, he felt an impulse for some reason, and couldn't help but look back.

On the high platform, the white-haired and black-clothed city lord casually twirled the half-empty golden wine bottle, as if he had expected that he would turn his head back, and even gave him an ambiguous smile.

Xu Ziyan gritted his teeth. This man definitely wanted to see him laugh on purpose.

"I'm going out with my cousin to get some fresh air." Under the hint of his father, Sheng Hongguang stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Ziyan out forcefully.

Just at this moment, the dance of the girl below has already danced halfway. The woman holding the pipa held the pipa high above her head. Because of the rapid circle, the bells and necklaces tied around the soft waist are jingling, obviously mixed with the intense music. However, the ringtone was so clear that it made people's heart itch unbearably.

"Big sister's dance today seems to be exceptionally good." The ladies of the Sheng family sighed again.

"No matter how good the dance is, people didn't even glance at her."

In the arena, after the girl danced, she bowed her head and saluted softly while holding the pipa.

"This is my niece. I heard that City Lord Xie is here as a guest, and she specially performed a dance for him." City Lord Sheng introduced with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman below slowly raised her head, revealing her specially dressed delicate and charming face.

"Linglong met City Lord Xie."

However, on the high platform, the handsome white-haired city lord did not cast a single glance.

"This lady looks familiar to me." A crisp female voice sounded, and everyone looked around and found that it was the younger sister of the young grandmaster.

"Miss Xie has seen this niece of mine?" City Lord Sheng felt strange.

Not far from the banquet hall, under the pressure of his own father, Xu Ziyan explained the day's events clearly.

Then, the Xu family's hope for the future was almost strangled by his old-fashioned father in his infancy.

"Xu Ziyan!" Patriarch Xu's hands were trembling with anger, "It's fine if you don't learn well, and you are still bullying others in the city. Who gave you the courage to bully a grand master with a bright future?"

Xu Ziyan's body trembled, "I didn't know then..."

He is a little absurd, but he is not mentally retarded. If he knew that the other party was the Lord of Pingyang, he would definitely go far away.

"So... so you asked me for someone this afternoon just to teach him a lesson?" Patriarch Xu held his aching chest and hated iron and steel, "Xu Ziyan, you are capable, you dare to offend someone your father doesn't dare to offend. Thanks to the magnanimity of this city lord, otherwise it would be more than just breaking your sword."

"What kind of magnanimity?" Xu Ziyan muttered, "It's more or less narrow-minded."

Patriarch Xu calmed down the depression in his heart, and reached out to hold Xu Ziyan's left ear, "You come in with me to apologize to that city lord."

"Ah!" Xu Ziyan was caught off guard by his ears, and Xu Ziyan screamed, trying to save his ears while begging for mercy, "Father, Pain...Father... let me go, I will go by myself."

"Uncle, who is this cousin?" Sheng Hongguang, who was guarding the door, couldn't help being stunned when he saw this posture.

"It's nothing, Hong Guang, go get busy." Patriarch Xu snorted coldly, and let go of Xu Ziyan's ear, "Xu Ziyan, come with me."

Xu Ziyan rubbed his ears, moved his mouth silently at Sheng Hongguang, and followed Patriarch Xu back to the banquet hall dejectedly.

"Calling for help?" Sheng Hongguang was puzzled, "Could it be that my cousin made a big mistake?"

However, the person who could answer him had already walked in.

Master Xu led his son into the banquet hall, and realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he didn't think too much about it, and walked up to Xie Xun, clapping his hands.

"The dog is disrespectful. I accidentally bumped into City Lord Xie in the clothing store today. I will bring him here to apologize to City Lord Xie and Miss Xie."

"It's nothing." Xie Yunrou glanced at Xu Ziyan with a smile, and pointed to the woman who was called up holding the pipa, "Miss Sheng just apologized on behalf of Young Master Xu."

Patriarch Xu was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that the younger sister of the city lord had also come up, and when he saw his niece holding a pipa, Patriarch Xu's eyes flashed with astonishment, and it was a pity.

It's a pity that the plan of the Lord Sheng's marriage is likely to come to nothing. How could a powerful man with a noble background and extremely proud look at a woman who offended him and his family.

Patriarch Xu thought of this, and glanced at Xu Ziyan who had been silent for a long time.

Under the pressure of lust, Xu Ziyan gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"I offended you two during the day, and Ziyan is here to apologize to you."

"Since Young Master Xu sincerely apologized—" Xie Yunrou narrowed her eyes and dragged her voice, "Then Miss Ben has a lot of adults, please forgive me."

Xu Ziyan gritted his teeth, this woman - a villain.

While talking, a maid held a wine jug and refilled wine for several people. City Lord Sheng waved his hand to order the maids to back down, and then raised the wine glass to Xie Xun.

"I would like to thank the city lord for a cup, and hope that the cooperation will be pleasant in the future."

"Happy cooperation." Xie Xun picked up the golden wine bottle, raised it towards him, and then took a sip.

Xu Ziyan saw the fingers pressed on the golden wine bottle. They were slender and fair. They were the most beautiful hands he had ever seen. However, it was such a pair of harmless-looking hands that easily broke his sword.

Surprisingly, apart from being angry that his sword was gone, he didn't particularly hate the person who ruined his beloved sword.

If he destroys other people's beloved things, naturally his own beloved things will also be destroyed by others.

The episode has passed, and the banquet ended peacefully.

The cooperation has been reached, and Xie Xun couldn't stay in Anyang City for a long time. On the second day after the banquet, he set foot on the carriage for the return journey.

The luxurious black and gold carriage passed through the noisy market all the way, passed through the quiet countryside, and finally drove into the forest under the night under the escort of the entourage.

The Moon Forest is a shortcut to Pingyang City, but the risk in the forest is extremely high, and if you enter at night, the risk is double.

Because the Moon Forest, also known as the Monster Forest, is inhabited by monsters of all sizes, the dark night has always been the peak time for the monsters to be active.

boom--

There was a heavy sound, as if something had been thrown heavily to the ground.

The white-haired city lord who closed his eyes and rested in the carriage moved his eyelashes, and then he opened his eyes.

The surrounding area was a bit too quiet, and the sound of running and growling of the monsters when they came was gone.

The followers also noticed the abnormality, the horse under his crotch was shaking his head restlessly.

"Master, do you want to move on?"

Monsters are no better than humans. Once they go crazy, they are a killer. They never consider whether there are many people on the other side or whether they can beat them.

"Go forward." A deep and calm voice came from inside the carriage.

boom--

Another one was sent flying, and landed high and heavily on the ground far away, smashing into a big hole.

Under the moonlight, it was faintly visible that the body twitched and then remained motionless.

The huge monster with red eyes stepped on the corpse on the ground step by step from the shadows to the moonlight. Under its huge body, the only remaining human beings seemed so small.

The blond young man clenched the sword in his hand. Just now, his last guard also died under the claws of this monster. The guards he brought out were at the seventh rank of the Spiritual Martial Stage, and the highest was the Sixth Rank of the True Martial Stage. However, all of them fell into the hands of this monster.

The monster stopped, and the trembling ground stabilized because of its huge body walking. However, this was not because it changed its mind, but because it was about to attack.

In the crimson eyes of the monster beast, a human being as small as an ant was reflected, and then it raised its huge claw, and slapped it directly with a gust of wind.

The blond young man imitated the appearance of a guard, holding up his sword and trying to resist the attack, but before the monster's claw fell, he was blown away by the strong wind.

The blond young man fell heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, but the next second his eyes widened

—He heard the approaching hooves and the rolling wheels.

It's so late, why are people still here?

The blond young man struggled to get up from the ground. Under the moonlight, on the other side of the road, attendants on tall horses surrounded by a black and golden carriage slowly approached.
