Fu Luan

Arriving in Qincheng was three days before the birthday banquet.

Le Wuyan had received Qin Ziyu's voice transmission two days earlier, and Qin Ziyu came straight to Qincheng after leaving the customs, a few days earlier than they did.

When they arrived, Qin Ziyu was already waiting outside the city gate, and when they saw him, they immediately greeted him with smiles on their faces.

As soon as Le Wuyan saw him, he felt the change in him, and asked him, "Have you built the foundation?"

Qin Ziyu nodded happily: "Yes, I finally succeeded in building the foundation."

Le Wuyan was also very happy for him when he heard the words. Little Peony is a bit stupid. It took nearly 30 years to successfully build his foundation after being transformed into a form. big future.

After saying a few words, Le Wuyan motioned to the people around him: "Give a gift."

Xu Youming glanced at him, and Le Wuyan said again: "Hurry up, give a gift."

Only then did Xu Youming give his disciple a reward to congratulate him on his successful foundation building. Qin Ziyu smiled brighter and thanked the two of them again and again. Xu Youming said calmly, "Let's go."

Qin Ziyu led them directly into the city, because the city lord's birthday banquet will be held in a few days, Qincheng is very lively during this period, the streets and alleys are full of monks from all over the place, making this huge city even more bustling and noisy.

They drove straight to the City Lord's Mansion in the east of the city. Le Wuyan looked out the window for a while and asked casually, "Is this place bigger than Los Angeles?"

Qin Ziyu said: "Qincheng has three large Luocheng cities, and there are several small and medium-sized cities around it, all of which belong to Qincheng's sphere of influence."

Le Wuyan nodded, Xiao Mudan, the adoptive father, is quite capable.

He thought of something, and asked again: "Why are you alone? Where's Yu Weiqiu? Didn't he come with you?"

Qin Ziyu was slightly embarrassed to mention this, and explained: "I came here first after I left the customs, and Senior Brother Yu should also be here in two days."

In fact, Yu Weiqiu did ask him to come here with him, but he deliberately left the customs a few days earlier, taking advantage of Yu Weiqiu being detained by his father to devote himself to cultivation, and set out on the road first.

Le Wuyan probably guessed it too, and nodded casually, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

The car drove for [-] quarters of an hour and arrived at the place. The City Lord's Mansion occupies a vast area, and the entire east of the city is the territory of the City Lord's Mansion. From a distance, it looks like Guidianlin Palace, graceful and majestic.

The one who came out to greet them was Qin Lingfeng, the five city lords of Qin City, who had joined them in the Eight Gates Formation when they were in Beiyuan Secret Realm.

Qin Lingfeng was very enthusiastic, and while exchanging greetings, he thanked Le Wuyan: "We were in Beiyuan Secret Realm earlier, thanks to Madam's advice, I was able to break out safely. I haven't had time to say thank you to Madam face to face."

Le Wuyan didn't care and said: "It's nothing more than a little effort, the five city lords don't need to be polite."

Afterwards, Qin Lingfeng led them in and visited them all the way. The front part of the mansion was lined with palaces and pavilions, while the back hills were small courtyards and caves located in an orderly manner, hidden among mountains and rivers. Most of the disciples in the mansion were demon cultivators. Only those who have reached the golden core stage or above can occupy a place in the city lord's mansion.

The talents of demon cultivators are generally not as good as human cultivators. It is rare for a [-]-year-old cultivator like Qin Ziyu's adoptive father to reach the middle stage of Mahayana. There are five city lords in Qin City, and only three have broken through the Mahayana stage. Qin Lingfeng and another brother Xiu Because it is only at the peak of the fusion, the overall strength may not be as good as other big sects, but because of Qin Cheng's special position among the demon cultivators, no one dares to underestimate it.

Qin Lingfeng introduced to Le Wuyan and the others all the way, and the residence arranged for them was a secluded small courtyard deep in the bamboo forest.

"Ziyu said earlier that he asked the celestial lord and his wife if they didn't want to live in the cave. They like a quiet place. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it's at the end of the bamboo forest. There should be no one to disturb you." Qin Lingfeng said.

Le Wuyan saw that the place was really good, and there was a peach tree planted in the courtyard, so he felt satisfied: "Thank you."

They settled down here, Qin Lingfeng asked them to be at their own convenience, if they needed anything, they could directly ask someone, and said that there would be a banquet to welcome the wind in the evening, he was polite again and again, and then left to entertain other guests.

Before Qin Ziyu left, Le Wuyan asked him casually, "How many people did Qin Cheng invite for this birthday banquet?"

Qin Ziyu said: "Thousands of invitations have been sent out, and people have arrived one after another in the past two days. In addition, there will be a water banquet in the city. Whether it is the city or the monks from outside, they can eat whatever they want."

That is indeed very generous, Le Wuyan said in his heart, there was an elder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect who celebrated his birthday earlier, but it was far from this ostentation.

Qin Ziyu said with a smile: "My adoptive father is very happy that the celestial venerable and his wife can come to join us. He said that we must have three drinks with the celestial lord and his wife at the reception banquet in the evening."

Hearing that there is wine to drink, Le Wuyan has nothing to do with it: "It's easy to say."

After saying a few more words, Qin Ziyu also left to help receive the guests.

Le Wuyan turned around, and saw Xu Youming standing under the peach blossom tree, his eyes slightly bright.

In the past, he picked up Yaoyao under a peach blossom tree at the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain. Unfortunately, when he went to Xiaoyao Mountain that day, he didn't even see the shadow of the tree stump.

The petals fell on Xu Youming's hair and shoulders, and he just looked at him quietly, somehow reminiscent of Yaoyao back then.

Le Wuyan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve: "What are you doing standing here..."

Xu Youming looked to the other side. From the angle he was standing on, he could see that the mountain waterfall next to the small courtyard was quite artistic, and the forest was full of aura, which was no worse than other places they had been to before.

Seeing this, Le Wuyan said happily: "This place is really good, and the people of Qincheng are interested."

Xu Youming nodded, said nothing else, and raised his hand to set a barrier outside the entire small courtyard.

The hustle and bustle of the distance is isolated, only the dingdong of the remaining spring water.

After entering the door, Le Wuyan poured himself a cup of tea, and Xu Youming sat cross-legged on the couch, meditating quietly.

Le Wuyan went over, stood in front of him and looked down at him. After a while, Xu Youming opened his eyes and met his gaze.

Le Wuyan raised his hand, twirled a peach petal that fell in his hair, and whispered, "Yaoyao."

Xu Youming's eyes moved.

Le Wuyan curled the corners of his lips: "The devil is quite good at picking names."

After half a day, Xu Youming swallowed vaguely: "Yes."

Le Wuyan looked at him, laughed and dragged his voice: "Xianzun, can I also call you Yaoyao?"

Xu Youming: "... up to you."

Le Wuyan said softly: "Yaoyao."

After waiting for a while, Xu Youming suddenly reached out and pulled him into his arms.

Unprepared, Le Wuyan fell down and knelt on Xu Youming's lap in an extremely awkward position.

"what are you doing?"

Xu Youming stared at the person in front of him, Le Wuyan was still smiling, Xu Youming brushed away his drooping hair, stroked his palm along his neck, and gently pinched his earlobe.

Le Wuyan flinched subconsciously, the man had turned his head to kiss him.

It's dusk when we go out.

Le Wuyan pursed his bitten lips, and stared at the people around him.

Xu Youming's expression remained the same, without squinting.

The reception banquet was held in a flower hall in the back garden. They met Qin Ziyu on the way there. Qin Ziyu explained to them: "The two immortals have arrived today, so this reception reception banquet is held first."

Le Wuyan asked: "The leader of the Supreme Immortal League is also here?"

Qin Ziyu said: "I heard that he just arrived."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from behind: "Is Mrs. Xianzun asking me? Just now I was thinking about going to visit Xianzun and his wife. It's a coincidence."

Le Wuyan turned his head, and indeed it was Xie Shigu, who swaggered over, with his Taoist companion beside him.

Xie Shigu waved his fan with a smile and came forward to greet them, Xu Youming looked cold, Le Wuyan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and didn't bother to talk to him at all.

Xie Shigu didn't take it seriously, and finally said to Qin Ziyu: "Little Peony, we met again, not bad, we haven't seen each other for a few months, and we have already built the foundation? Congratulations."

Qin Ziyu subconsciously glanced at the indifferent young man beside him, and nodded uncomfortably: "Thank you."

Xie Shigu smiled, and finally stopped talking nonsense.

The flower hall was full of people at the moment, and there were still three days before the birthday banquet, and there were not many monks who came, but there were 200 people, so it was really lively to gather together.

Xu Youming and Xie Shigu appeared at the same time, and everyone stood up. Qin Ziyu's adoptive father, Qin Lingshi, the lord of Qin City, strode forward and said with a bold smile: "In Xia Qin Lingshi, the two immortals and their wives It is indeed Qin Cheng's good fortune to have you here, please come here!"

Xu Youming nodded, and Xie Shigu chatted and laughed casually with others.

They were arranged at the front. Qin Lingshi introduced several other city lords to them. Apart from Qin Lingfeng whom he had known before, there were three other people. The five of them sworn brothers and built this huge Qin City together.

Le Wuyan took a look at Qin Ziyu's adoptive father and these uncles, and they all looked pretty good, especially Qin Lingshi, as the No. The wife next to him looked more gentle and easy-going, and seemed to be easy to get along with. Qin Ziyu was indeed very lucky to be adopted by them.

After some pleasantries, everyone was seated.

Most of the people present today are monks from other places. Except for the owner of Zheri Xianzhuang in the South, those who came first were those from the small and medium sects.

This is not surprising, there are still three days before the birthday banquet, and the other big sects will not come early because of their status. If it is not known that Xu Youming and the others will arrive early, even Venerable Yinyue will come two days later Come.

Seeing that the two immortals gave Qin Cheng face in this way, the people who came first couldn't help but rejoice, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere.

After that, it's a cup-and-cup exchange, you come and I go.

From time to time, someone came to toast with Xu Youming and Le Wuyan. Le Wuyan drank happily, and when he drank the third cup, Xu Youming took his cup away and replaced it with fruit tea.

Le Wuyan looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Xu Youming said: "Drink less."

Le Wuyan scoffed at him, then turned to talk to Qin Ziyu who was sitting on the other side.

Qin Ziyu was alone at the wine table, lowered his head to eat in silence, raised his eyes occasionally, and quickly moved away when his eyes fell on a certain place.

"Little Peony, why don't you drink?" Le Wuyan leaned over and asked.

Qin Ziyu returned to his senses and shook his head slightly: "I don't want to drink, I will go back to practice soon."

"You don't have to work so hard, do you?" Le Wuyan glanced at the direction he was looking at from time to time, and it really was Xie Shigu, who had to deal with the people who kept coming to toast, and was also busy taking care of his Taoist companion to eat and drink Wine and vegetables, hospitality.

Looking at Qin Ziyu beside him who was out of his mind, Le Wuyan hated that iron could not be made into steel, men with two legs ran all over the ground, why did Little Mudan fall in love with the one she shouldn't have?

Qin Ziyu didn't drink, so Le Wuyan simply took the jug in front of him and poured it for himself, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't look, that person is not a good guy, not to mention that he has a Taoist companion. Provoked us twice and hijacked you, did you forget?"

Qin Ziyu showed embarrassment: "...Sorry."

Le Wuyan was annoyed: "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Qin Ziyu lowered his head, he really didn't want to do this, but once the inner demon was born, he couldn't control it himself.

When he retreated and entered the realm, he almost failed because of this backlash. If it weren't for the demon spirit milk obtained in the secret realm to stabilize his spiritual power, he might not be able to sit here now.

...Why is it that person.

Le Wuyan wanted to teach others a lesson, Xu Youming called him: "Qingque."

Le Wuyan turned his head, the man looked at him: "Come back."

After a moment of stalemate, Le Wuyan moved his butt back, not forgetting to take Qin Ziyu's flagon with him.

"I want a drink," he said.

Xu Youming: "At most half a pot, this wine is strong."

Le Wuyan: "Understood, there is so much nonsense."

When the wine was hot, someone came again.

Before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first: "Duan came a step late, I wonder if I can catch up with the two immortals and the city lord for a drink!"

Qin Lingshi got up again to greet him, and it was the suzerain of the Ruyi sect who came.

Le Wuyan raised his head from the wine glass, looked at the man who was striding into the door, and frowned subconsciously. This man had long eyebrows and piercing eyes. He was obviously not bad looking, but his face looked really weird, which was confusing. Not comfortable outside.

Seeing that Qin Lingshi had already exchanged pleasantries with others, Le Wuyan asked the people around him in a low voice: "What kind of cultivation is this person?"

Xu Youming said: "The middle stage of Mahayana."

In the middle period of Mahayana, the cultivation base can only be ranked in the top 40 in the current cultivation world. It is not the best, but it is enough to stand out from the crowd. Moreover, this person was only a casual cultivator in the past, and he only established this wishful sect here in the Southland [-] years ago. .

But to be able to build a famous sect in such a short period of time, presumably there must be other skills.

Le Wuyan pouted after thinking about it, forget it, he doesn't do his business anyway.

Qin Lingshi ordered someone to arrange a seat for that person, and that person held a wine glass and first came to toast with Xu Youming.

Self-reported family: "Ruyi Zong Duan Kun, I have seen Mingzhi Immortal Venerable and his wife, and respect the Immortal Venerable and his wife."

When he got closer, Le Wuyan was even more displeased with the aura of this person, he said it was a toast, but his tone was quite arrogant and conceited, Le Wuyan ignored him, Xu Youming also looked cold, and only took a sip from his toast.

The other party didn't take it seriously, drank the wine, glanced past Xu Youming and fell to Le Wuyan, and when he saw the flame pattern on his forehead, he paused for a moment.

Xu Youming's expression turned cold, the other party had already looked away, smiled and turned to leave.

Le Wuyan was very dissatisfied: "Who is this person? He is so arrogant, even you, the Immortal Venerable, don't take it seriously."

Xu Youming said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about it."

Le Wuyan scoffed slightly, he didn't bother to pay attention, what the hell.
