Refusing to work overtime for the teacher

After finishing this disguise, Xiao Xun returned to the banquet hall.Xie Ling and Yue Jiu returned to their previous positions, the difference was that the wines on the small table were replaced by Xie Ling's tasted ones that he liked.

Xiao Xun snorted softly in his heart, selected the short couple closest to Xie Ling, and strode over.Before sitting down, he deliberately turned his head in Xie Ling's direction and asked, "Is there no one here? Can I sit here?"

"No one, no one, please fellow daoists." It was Yue Jiugui who answered.

Xiao Xun flicked his clothes and sat behind the table.This place is slightly behind Xie Ling's table, and when he raised his eyes, he could bring Xie Ling's profile into his sight.

Xie Ling's clothes are completely different from his usual style.When meeting him for the first time, Xiao Xun felt that the man's clothes were dyed too deep in orange, as if they were mixed with dirt and gray. It was better to embroider heavy yellow and dark black patterns and put on a few pale green belts, which made it more pleasing to the eye. Now the more I look at it, the more I think it looks good, and I even want to try such a suit for myself.

But if he did that, Xie Ling would think he was weird.Difficult.Xiao Xun leaned against the stone behind him somewhat discouraged.

He drank some wine, ate a few mouthfuls of side dishes to accompany the wine, and couldn't help but pick up the question that he had put aside for the time being to think again: Xie Ling pretended to be such an ordinary little character, what is the reason for it?In other words, what are you going to do?

This is a question that can't be answered without knowing the root cause, Xiao Xun pondered over and over again, but couldn't figure out why, he was actually a little angry.

Does Yue Jiugui know your real identity?Judging by his appearance, he should not know.That being the case, Xiao Xun decided to help Xie Ling keep this secret and never let a third person find out.

Xie Ling was also drinking, and drank the newly fetched ones slowly, and put the cups one by one on the tray left by Xiao Xun.Yue Jiugui stretched his waist, and asked Xie Ling: "Senior brother, can I get some more?"

"Okay." Xie Ling nodded.

"Still drinking these?"

"Ah."

"It seems that these suit your taste, I'll go." Yue Jiugui said with a smile, and walked to the stream.

Xiao Xun listened to the conversation of the two, looked at the empty wine cup beside the table, his back was straightened, and his brows were furrowed.

How many cups has this person drank, is he not afraid of getting drunk in a while?

Or is it because Yue Jiugui is beside him, so he doesn't care if he gets drunk?

No matter which of the two ideas the truth is, it makes Xiao Xun feel uncomfortable.He suppressed the mood of wanting to walk over, watched Yue Jiugui go away, greeted Yue Jiugui with his eyes, then looked at Xie Ling, saw him reach out and pick a glass of wine and put it in front of him.

He didn't restrain his eyes, as expected, after a while, Yue Jiugui turned around and looked over, and asked vigilantly and suspiciously: "Fellow Daoist, I see you looking at us from time to time, but what's the matter?"

Xiao Xun immediately put on an apologetic expression, and cupped his hands towards Yue Jiugui: "I came here alone, I was so bored, I inevitably looked around a bit more. If I offend you two, please forgive me." The attitude was quite modest. .

Yue Jiugui felt embarrassed, waved his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist is serious." Then he was puzzled by some of the information in his words: "You said you came alone? Isn't Donghua Banquet not allowed to have a team alone?"

Xiao Xun stroked the beard on his chin, sighed, with a troubled look on his face: "I don't know where my classmate has gone."

Yue Jiugui was surprised: "Aren't you looking for it?"

"I must have gone somewhere to drink, I don't like to drink." Xiao Xun shook his head.

"That's it." Yue Jiugui sat back behind the table, looked up at the sky for a while, and echoed what Xiao Xun said at the beginning: "Indeed, it's boring to sit in this place for a long time."

"I don't know when the secret realm will open."

Xiao Xun answered, "At least get noon."

Yue Jiugui had the final say, and sighed: "It will take more than an hour."

His appearance inspired Xiao Xun.Xiao Xun's eyes turned, and he proposed: "There is nothing left and right, two fellow Taoists, why don't we play cards?" Xiao Xun wanted to talk about playing chess, but Xie Ling played chess with him before, so he was afraid of being seen out, so he said Playing cards.

But the people who paid attention to him from the beginning to the end were Yue Jiugui. Xie Ling only gave him eyes at the beginning, and never looked at him again after that.It was Yue Jiugui who touched Xie Ling's arm and asked him: "Brother, are you playing cards?"

Xie Ling refused flatly: "I'm not very good at it, you guys can play."

"Then change it." Xiao Xun said.

Yue Jiugui thought about it and said, "How about playing chess? I remember my senior brother said he could play chess..."

Xie Ling still refused, shook his head, and stood up: "I'll go somewhere else."

"Hey, good." Yue Jiugui did not persuade Xie Ling to have fun with them to relieve boredom, selected some wine from the table, put it on a tray, and took it to Xiao Xun's place.

Xiao Xun chased after Xie Ling from the corner of his eye, seeing that he disappeared after taking a few steps around the forest, so he looked away.His mood was very complicated. On the one hand, he thought that he was just a stranger to Xie Ling, so he should ignore it. On the other hand, he was distressed and discouraged by Xie Ling's indifference.

Yue Jiugui sat down opposite Xiao Xun, clasped his fists in a salute, and smiled all over his face: "My surname is Yue, and my name is Yue Jiugui. That is my senior brother, his surname is Chen. I haven't asked my fellow Taoists for their names yet."

Xiao Xun put on a polite look on his face, and replied: "I'm Zhang Tao... from Shenshui Pavilion, what sect are you from?"

He asked the question out of courtesy, but Yue Jiu replied seriously: "Our sect is called Xiao Qingtian."

I haven't heard of it, don't be the martial art you guys just picked up when you came here.Xiao Xun thought to himself, and said: "I've never heard of it."

Yuejiu Guixin said that Shenshuige is a name you have never heard of before, and the person on the other side said: "Probably I am ignorant and ignorant. These years, I have been staying on the mountain and have never come out."

"It's not a problem with fellow daoists, it's just that we haven't made a name for ourselves yet. One day, I will make the sect great." Yue Jiugui smiled, "Let's not talk about that, Brother Zhang, what cards shall we play?"

"Since there are only you and me, how about playing the easiest one?" Xiao Xun said.

"it is good."

Xie Ling walked to the other side of the Taolin.The terrain here is higher, the stream has never passed by, and there are many fewer people than the place just now.He used a pair of eye frames to capture the scenery, and after about half an hour, he came to the top of the mountain and the edge of the peach forest.

This is the mountain scenery created by the formation, but it is extremely realistic.Not far away, there are several peach trees that have not bloomed, and there are no green leaves on the branches. The trunks are very dark, as if they have died here.But it still looks beautiful.Withered beauty, suitable for painting.Xie Ling took a few steps closer, walked around, and watched carefully.

Going around, a figure came into view.It is a man sitting on a tree with one leg propped up, wearing a shirt with a color that looks like green and black, with a very handsome face, which is also suitable for painting.

But Xie Ling recognized him as Cui Wei who had met him once from afar.

Cui Wei was holding a wine jar in his hand at the moment, and there was still wine in his hand.Looking up this hand, Xie Ling saw clearly that what was stuck on his head was not a wooden hairpin, but a peach branch. At this moment, there was actually a crow parked beside the peach branch.

Peach branches and crows, one is gorgeous and the other is deep, together, there is a strange harmony.Xie Ling felt that he shouldn't get too close to him—at least not with the identity of "Chen He"—turned around and left.

But there was a voice coming from behind: "I heard your footsteps." The voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, or it was born like this.

"So what if you heard it?" Xie Ling replied.

His footsteps didn't stop.Cui Wei looked at him from the tree for a moment, or in other words, deliberately let Xie Ling walk a certain distance, so he would stay away, and said: "You are the one who bullied my apprentice outside the hall."

After saying this, a gust of wind swept past Xie Ling, and Cui Wei appeared three feet in front of him.

Three feet is exactly the distance of a sword.

Xie Ling stopped.Cui Wei's long-sleeved blouse showed a different color from what he had seen just now due to the change of light.Xie Ling's gaze went from bottom to top, and slowly stopped on his face, meeting his eyes.

"The word bullying may not be used correctly." Xie Ling said.

He has no fear of Cui Wei, and his attitude is flat, just like treating ordinary strangers.

Cui Wei's eyes darkened for a moment, then he raised his eyebrows, pulled his lips into a slight smile, and nodded his head in agreement: "It seems that something is really wrong, it should be—the person who cheated my apprentice outside the hall."

The crow was still on top of his head, moved a little with his movements, but didn't fly away.

What a strange man.Xie Ling felt this way again, not only because of the decorative crow on Cui Wei's head, but also because he couldn't feel sincerity from his expression and tone—the sincerity of venting his anger for his apprentice and repaying his injustice.

"The money didn't fall into my hands, so how could it be regarded as being tricked by me?" Xie Ling didn't want to talk to this person, so he said something, and walked sideways, trying to bypass him.

Cui Wei pulled his lower lip again.This time, he laughed out loud.He didn't intend to let Xie Ling go.

The next moment, a gentle and laughing voice was heard: "Dare to ask, but Senior Cui Wei?"

The tone was so familiar, Xie Ling turned to look over - Xiao Xun was walking towards him, with silver hair and red clothes, all scattered by the mountain wind.

"A boy in the human world?" Cui Wei also looked at him, probably recognizing who it was, or who it was, and his expression became joking, "You call me senior? That's not appropriate."

Afterwards, he didn't know what else he thought of, and he said "I'll let you off this time", threw the wine jar in his hand aside, shook his sleeves, and headed down the mountain.

Bang!

The wine jar shattered on the ground, and the clear wine flowed along the terrain and seeped into the soil.

The change came so fast that Xie Ling was not even surprised.His gaze turned from Cui Wei's back to Xiao Xun's body, swallowed the "Why are you here" that almost blurted out, and said: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I just passed by by chance." Xiao Xun flicked his sleeves and stood still in front of Xie Ling.He quietly adjusted his breathing, and as time passed and Cui Wei walked away, the worries in his heart faded away.

In terms of realm, Xie Ling is above Cui Wei, if there is a real friction between the two, Xie Ling will not be the one who suffers.But Cui Wei is quite evil, and he is good at making the situation difficult to deal with.He had dealt with Cui Wei twice in his last life, and the impression Cui Wei left on him was that he was tricky.That person ended up worse than him. Not only was his corpse lying in the wild, but he died suddenly, and his family was more or less implicated.

Xiao Xun thought for a while, but finally couldn't hold back to remind him: "That person Cui Wei, don't get involved with him."

"Why?" Xie Ling asked puzzled.

Xiao Xun didn't know how to explain it, so he started a rumor: "Don't they all say that this person is moody?" Then he said: "I'm leaving."

With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and left, his strides were long, coupled with his perfunctory words, Xie Ling would think that this person came here specially to save him from the siege.

"You seem to be in a hurry?" Xie Ling looked at Xiao Xiao's back for a while, and said.

Xiao Xun's footsteps stopped suddenly.

Yes, what is he doing in such a hurry?

The poker game between him and Yue Jiugui attracted many people. The two-person game became a four-player game, and the losers would take turns.He lost a game with water, and came out to look for Xie Ling when he was free. There was no one waiting for him there, and he also found out that this person was Xie Ling.

Obviously he has more chips.Xiao Xun came back to his senses, turned around to meet Xie Ling's gaze, and spoke with a firm voice: "Walking faster means you're in a hurry?"

Xie Ling: "..."

Xie Ling felt that there was some truth in this statement.

Xiao Xun took a step towards him, raised his head a little, grabbed the conversation and said, "Brother Chen, can I ask you about someone."

"You say." Xie Ling's eyelids twitched.

"I'm here to see my master. He likes to wear plain clothes. He always has a cold appearance, but his eyebrows and eyes are very good; his realm is so high that people like us can't even see—— —Brother Chen, have you ever seen such a person?"

Xiao Xun's dark eyes curved slightly, he bowed his hands, and asked earnestly and earnestly.

The author has something to say:

Xie Ling:.
