Chapter 417: Old Buddy from the City Lord’s Mansion
"Mr. Feng, is this what you said Xu Xiaoshou is missing?"
Fu Yinhong looked at Xu Xiaoshou not far away, who was facing the corner with his hands tied and shaking for a long time, a hint of blush flashed across his pretty face.
The first time Mr. Feng lost his tracking target, he returned to Fu Xing.
But Fu Xing couldn't escape at all at this moment. The only thing he could do was to ask his sister to ask the master to follow him.
After all, there were not many people present who knew Xu Xiaoshou thoroughly, and there were only two people who knew his true destructive power!
To be honest, Fu Yinhong was extremely reluctant to come over and face Xu Xiaoshou again.
But she was also afraid that if this guy really disappeared, he would do something outrageous.
So, when I rushed here in a hurry, I found that Xu Xiaoshou, who was missing from Feng Lao's mouth, was actually in the corner...
pee?
"Under suspicion, passive value, +2."
Feng Ma also didn't expect that Xu Xiaoshou disappeared in the blink of an eye and then came back again.
"Dazzled?"
Without rubbing his presbyopia, Xu Xiaoshou came to his senses after trembling.
While he was taking water from the Yuanfu Lingchi to purify his hands, he turned back.
Then, as if he suddenly discovered someone behind him, his eyes widened and he was a little surprised.
"Ah, niece Xiaohong, why are you here?"
Fu Yinhong's beautiful eyes tightened, and her teeth gritted instantly.
This is the reason why I refused to come over.
Xu Xiaoshou continued: "Who is that? Where is the beautiful queen who has been following you all this time? Also, didn't you go search for the blaster together?"
"Have you found it?"
Fu Yinhong said in her heart, I think not only you are the one responsible for the explosion, but also the thief is related to you!
But her sixth sense was obviously useless against the "uncle" in front of her. She gritted her molar teeth and said, "Guardian Liu is still looking for me. I'm tired."
"Oh, it's okay when you're tired. Take a rest when you're tired. You can't force yourself. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Your body is important."
Xu Xiaoshou shook off the water stains on his hands, wiped them with his sleeves and robes, and stepped forward.
"Who is this?"
He looked at the old man.
"Mr. Feng, my father's good friend, is a guest of the city lord's palace." Fu Yinhong explained.
Feng Ma's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them strangely. He didn't know why Xu Xiaoshou used "Xiao Hong's niece" when he called his peer, the little princess of the city lord's palace.
Is this a term of endearment among young people?
After all, I am getting old...
"Feng Ma."
He shook his head, sighed, and added.
After understanding the relationship between the two, Feng Ma looked at Xu Xiaoshou carefully.
I have just seen this boy fight. Apart from his arrogance and arrogance, to be honest, he has an extraordinary appearance and a superb temperament, so he is indeed a good match.
The more Feng Ma looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Fu Zhi would be very pleased to have such a son-in-law when he comes out of seclusion!
Unexpectedly, when Xu Xiaoshou heard that Feng Ma was Fu Zhi's good friend, he immediately laughed heartily, and then slapped Feng Ma on the shoulder.
"It turns out it's Brother Feng. I've admired him for a long time. Brother Fu and I have also been friends in the past years. Brother's brother is my brother!"
Feng Ma:???
Feeling the terrifying force on his shoulders, he looked down in shock.
Did this kid really put his hand on me?
Let me go, this young man is crazy. Where did he get the courage to call himself a brother?
Do you really think the people standing in front of him are those talented people who only know the three-legged cat kung fu?
Fu Yinhong closed her eyes deeply.
really.
The worst thing expected happened.
Even though he has said very few words, why can Xu Xiaoshou still grasp him so deeply?
The introduction I just gave should only have one name!
Feng Ma looked at Fu Yinhong holding his forehead and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"You...the Brother Fu you just mentioned, have you been friends for many years?"
"Which one do you mean?" he asked.
"Who else could it be?"
Xu Xiaoshou stopped and laughed: "Of course it's Fu Xing...His father, Fu Zhi!"
Feng Ma immediately staggered.
Pay stop?
Hearing the previous words, he was a little shocked and angry. After all, if it was Fu Xing, Xu Xiaoshou's casual chat would be too disrespectful.
But as soon as the name Fu Zhi came out, compared with the previous Fu Xing, Xu Xiaoshou could not have made a slip of the tongue.
"Do you know City Master Fu?"
Feng Ma didn't believe it at all.
As a missing person, Fu Zhi has not been seen for several years.
How could Xu Xiaoshou know someone who has never even met his own children?
If they were to know each other before he disappeared, then it’s impossible that he, Feng Ma, didn’t know about it!
Xu Xiaoshou raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Yinhong with some surprise.
"Little niece, your dad... no one knows about that yet?"
What he was referring to was the fact that Fu Zhi had already been released from prison.
Fu Yinhong rolled her eyes and said she was too lazy to argue with Xu Xiaoshou about the title. Anyway, this guy was destined to never let go.
"No."
"Don't even know about the payment bank?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"I don't know, too lazy to tell."
"It's no wonder..."
Xu Xiaoshou murmured, speaking of it, he did not see Fu Zhi again in the banquet hall.
Could it be that this guy hasn't been around for so long that he doesn't dare to come out and meet the world?
No, he seemed to want to take a shower.
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
Washing up...takes so long?
Feng Ma looked at the incomprehensible conversation between the two, and suddenly realized something, and his eyes flashed with joy.
"Could it be..."
"Go back first!"
Xu Xiaoshou is not a talkative person. Maybe Fu Zhi, a middle-aged man, is a little romantic and wants to create some surprises.
He took the lead and walked away. The two people behind him did not dare to hesitate and could only follow closely.
Xu Xiaoshou sighed: "Why do I feel like I'm on guard against a thief? I didn't do anything, I just couldn't hold it in, and I happened to be unable to find the toilet."
He looked back at Fu Yinhong and sighed: "Your family is really big."
Fu Yinhong snorted and didn't dare to answer.
Only ghosts believe you.
If you don't come out a little later, this wall will be melted by you.
Seeing that his niece was sulking alone, Xu Xiaoshou was not annoyed. He turned to Feng Ma and said, "Brother Feng, how is your relationship with Brother Fu?"
Feng Ma's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether Xu Xiaoshou arranged the relationship for him or whether it was true or false.
But if Fu Yinhong didn't refute, what if this guy really knew Fu Zhi?
Let’s give him some face!
"We have a good relationship. Let's fight from childhood to adulthood."
When he said this, he felt something was wrong.
He is obviously a transparent person next to City Lord Xiaofu of the City Lord's Mansion, but today he actually calls himself brother to a boy he has never met before?
What's going on in this world?
Xu Xiaoshou exclaimed and said with great joy: "Since we have been fighting since childhood, we must have a very good relationship."
"Speaking of which, with your status, you are actually a guest in the city lord's mansion?"
"That boy Fu Zhi is too casual. I'll tell you from now on. Brothers can't be bossed around like this." Xu Xiaoshou's face was full of dissatisfaction.
"That boy Fu Zhi..."
Fu Yinhong selectively blocked her hearing.
She was afraid that if she continued to listen, she might be tempted to take action.
The road back is still long, bear with it!
Feng Ma was dumbfounded when he heard this. He paused for a while, then reluctantly raised Xu Xiaoshou's position to the same height.
Lips and teeth clicked together, and even though he felt a little out of place, Feng Ma still said: "It's not considered a servant...Gu Qing, it's not like that, actually, you can be considered a half-free person."
He glanced in the direction of Fu Yinhong, begging for help, but Fu Yinhong ignored him at all, and quickened his pace, passing the two of them at once.
hateful……
Xu Xiaoshou showed all his thoughts.
"That's okay. I know Brother Fu is a conscientious person."
He chatted about everything, and Feng Ma was obviously not a talkative person. He was basically the one asking questions along the way, and Feng Ma answered concisely and concisely.
Finally, Xu Xiaoshou, who felt that he had completely established a friendship with Brother Feng, showed off his fox tail casually.
"So, a guest like me is still at the level of a brother. How much more can the City Lord's Mansion be like?"
"After all, apart from you, I only know one brother, Yuan. It's better to get to know him better."
Fu Yinhong, who had blocked her hearing, had no idea that Xu Xiaoshou had led the topic into a wrong direction. If she could still hear it, she would probably be able to figure out Xu Xiaoshou's intention to find out the strength of the city lord's mansion very quickly.
But Feng Ma is different.
He was already numb from the chattering along the way. Suddenly he heard a familiar "Brother Yuan" and his expression was in a trance.
"Mr. Yuan?"
"Do you know senior Yuan Sandao?"
Old timer?
Xu Xiaoshou's heart skipped a beat. Is this old man so old?
Even Feng Ma has to call him an old-timer?
Then wouldn’t he have entered into the wrong relationship?
After all, I only know one person's name...
Xu Xiaoshou didn't panic and said calmly: "It doesn't count as acquaintance. Isn't it because Brother Fu got in touch with me? It's just some friendship."
He immediately changed the subject, "So, who are the other brothers in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Feng Ma didn't expect that Xu Xiaoshou even knew Yuan Sandao. Yuan Lao had been famous for much longer than him.
His heart was numb at first, but under this shock, he no longer had any doubts.
"In fact, there aren't many that can be counted as your brother in the City Lord's Mansion."
Feng Ma smiled and said: "Based on your relationship, although the two guardians also call Fu Zhi the boss, their actual relationship is still at the subordinate level."
"You can ignore these two, mainly those old guys."
several……
Xu Xiaoshou clicked his tongue in his heart and said quietly: "Who is it?"
"Second brother Qi, brother Dongfang, youngest Shu Gushu, and a pair of old mandarin ducks with purple seals..."
There was a look of reminiscence in Feng Ma's eyes: "They are all from the Old Holy Palace. These guys, forget about you, even I haven't seen you for a long time, tsk tsk, I think back then..."
He seemed to be suddenly opened up to talk and started talking non-stop.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't listen at all to what was said later.
Be obedient.
This is a name that I have never heard of before, but if Feng Ma can pronounce it in this tone, it must be the throne.
If you haven't seen him for a long time, could it be that some of them have already broken through to Zhan Dao?
Xu Xiaoshou's heart and hair went cold.
He counted them carefully and found that there were only five, plus Feng Ma, the number was six, plus the double guardians and Fu Zhi himself.
The nine thrones start with no cap!
what the hell!
This city lord's palace is almost as good as Tiansang Ling Palace!
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly lost some confidence in his secret plan.
He took advantage of Feng Ma's words and asked in the direction of guidance: "Are these old brothers really not even born anymore? Are they more exaggerated than Fu Zhi who has been in seclusion for several years?"
"Ah."
"Born?"
Feng Ma sneered: "Based on the urine of these people, I'm afraid they may not be born if Tiansang County is bombed. When the White Cave opens, if something goes wrong, you may have a chance to see these brothers."
"I'm the only one who has a more secular temperament and is willing to go out and walk around."
A big stone settled in Xu Xiaoshou's heart.
This puts me at ease.
Since he is a dreamer who cannot be awakened, it does not matter whether he exists or not.
What we still need to be careful about now is the old man in front of us, the pair of guardians, and Fu Zhi himself.
If something unexpected happens again, maybe the night watch will count...
Xu Xiaoshou was thinking about it in his mind, and unknowingly he had reached the door of the banquet hall.
Fu Yinhong reopened her spiritual sense and reminded her angrily: "Fu Xing said that if you want to leave the banquet hall in the future, you must take me with you!"
"oh?"
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up at the right time, "This is a good thing. I will drink more wine later and I will call you when I need to go to the toilet!"
"Let's do it together when we have time... squat in the pit."
Fu Yinhong: "..."
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
She turned her head and walked away without saying a word.
Feng Ma looked at it with a smile.
This scene of the young couple bickering is quite nice.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.
If Fu Zhi already recognized Xu Xiaoshou as his brother, how could he be regarded as his son-in-law?
Doesn't this mess up the seniority?
He was stunned for a moment, and Xu Xiaoshou came over and whispered a thunder.
"Brother, I won't hide it from you. In fact, that boy Fu Zhi has been released from prison. You should know where he is now."
"Go and see him. He also said that we haven't seen him for a long time and miss him very much."
After that, Xu Xiaoshou walked away.
Feng Ma was stunned behind him. Even though he had been conscious before, he was still a little surprised when he was told the news.
Pay stop, is it really coming out?
Looking at the threshold in front of him, Feng Ma didn't know whether it was better to step in or leave.
He watched Xu Xiaoshou obediently sit back in his seat, then looked at Fu Xing and Fu Yinhong on the high platform, and suddenly felt that the dust had settled.
"Fu Zhi...this boy actually said, 'Long time no see, I miss you very much'?"
Feng Ma suddenly laughed.
To be honest, in the end, he was indeed moved by this sentence.
"It shouldn't be a big problem if we leave for a while."
He took back his half-stepped foot, turned around and disappeared.
…
"Hey, are you back?"
Mu Zixi pursed his lips and said in a strange tone.
Xu Xiaoshou's "perceived" attention was withdrawn from the direction where Feng Ma disappeared from the door, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the girl in front of him and said amusedly: "What's wrong, no one dares to come over and strike up a conversation now? Could it be that you blame me again?"
Mu Zixi: "..."
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou looked towards the high platform.
At this time, the battle has entered a fierce stage, and everyone is obviously fighting for the remaining spots in the White Cave.
Underneath, there were already standing several exhausted young men and women, covered in blood, but with excitement gleaming in their eyes.
"This should be the guy who got the spot in the White Cave, right?"
Xu Xiaoshou murmured.
"Yes, they are all very powerful. Some of them have already surpassed the master level."
Mu Zixi watched the battle and said, "But no one came out to challenge you before. It's really strange."
Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself that it would be strange if they would come out.
Not everyone is as "full of vitality" as he is, and most of the moves are either passive skills that do not cost spiritual energy, or they are purely sword-power moves.
After ten rounds of wheel battles, those who can hold on are truly great!
I was not able to participate, but I think these guys should be among the best in their respective counties.
Xu Xiaoshou took a glance and saw that among the eight winners, five were in the Celestial Realm.
To be able to enter the realm of a master at such an age is already extremely terrifying.
And the remaining ones who don't have the cultivation level of a grandmaster can still win the quota...
This should be the real ruthless person.
Watching the battle, Xu Xiaoshou felt a little itchy again. He suddenly stood up and was about to walk towards the high platform.
"Xu Xiaoshou, what are you doing?" Mu Zixi was shocked.
"what?"
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled: "Others don't dare challenge me, but the rules don't say I can't challenge others."
As soon as these words came out, several old people around him looked at him cautiously.
That makes sense!
This guy is still planning to go on stage?
"Under suspicion, passive value, +23."
At this moment, a guard in white armor walked quickly not far away, as if he was afraid that if he took a step slower, he would not be able to keep up with Xu Xiaoshou's speed.
"Stay."
The guard came over with a piece of paper, "Xu Xiaoshou, right?"
"It's me, what?" Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
"Sorry, you probably won't be able to go on stage to challenge."
The guard said apologetically, then shook the paper in his hand.
"These are newly established rules. To be honest, they are all aimed at you."
"The fourth and fifth item among them is that young people who have obtained the 'Unstoppable' badge cannot step forward to challenge them in competitions with peers."
Xu Xiaoshou was completely stunned, and Mu Zixi almost laughed out loud with a look on his face.
The old people on one side all looked at each other with amused eyes.
This operation is very sexy.
There are actually rules for one person?
"Who decided?" Xu Xiaoshou's face darkened.
"The little Fu City Lord, also known as Fu Xing."
The guard lowered his head: "The Lord of Xiaofu City said that if you have any objections, just go to him and he will turn a blind eye to them all."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Initiate a curse...
Good guy, who did you learn this bad idea from?
If I find out, I must break his legs!
When we met before, why couldn't we see that this guy Fu Xing was so sinister?
He took the paper with a headache, and found a large page full of paper, which was also densely covered with array patterns to prevent it from being violently destroyed.
If it really comes down to it, Xu Xiaoshou would naturally not be stumped by this thing.
but……
never mind.
"What about the 'Unstoppable' badge? I didn't get it?"
Xu Xiaoshou stretched out his hand with a sullen face.
The guard was well prepared and took out a spiritual jade badge carved from purple jade and placed it on Xu Xiaoshou's open hand.
"City Master Xiaofu said that this was specially made for you to rush into work. The protective spiritual array inside is also very powerful. I hope you like it."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Good guy, easy to pay!
You have grown up, your wings have become stronger, and you have learned to trick your uncle, right?
Just wait for me...
"have to."
"I see."
Xu Xiao sat down again with a sad face, and the guard immediately clasped his fists and left.
"Restricted again?"
Mu Zixi said with a teasing smile: "This time I've framed you from head to toe, so you can't even move."
Boom!
Xu Xiaoshou clasped his knuckles on the little girl's head, causing her ponytail to dangle.
"Shut up, little girl."
"If you dare to go to the ring and win five spots, my brother will let you ridicule him."
Muzi Xiqiong's nose wrinkled, and she immediately covered her forehead and became weak.
"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
…
The competition in the spirit refining path came to an end soon.
After Xu Xiaoshou won five places by himself, the remaining twenty places were simply not enough.
Some counties and cities even fought tooth and nail, and the children of several big families were all over the place, but they were still intercepted and killed in the last few critical rounds.
In a big city like Tiansang City, even if no one from the four giants and the city lord's palace participated in the battle, the other forces combined still got a full six quotas.
The difference between cities is evident.
What caught Xu Xiaoshou's attention the most was an acquaintance.
Qu Qing'er.
This girl should be the proud daughter from Duojin Trading Company.
Young looks younger than himself, but his growth is indeed amazing. In previous battles, he has already reached the peak of the Celestial Realm.
With his cultivation alone, he could crush all the young geniuses present.
"sharp!"
Xu Xiaoshou didn't know if this kind of person had any hidden background.
But if it were just a multi-finance trading company, almost all of the geniuses present would have similar backgrounds.
After all, someone who can cultivate to this level at such an age still has actual combat ability.
There is no other way but to work hard!
"admire."
Xu Xiaoshou felt that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
He is so lazy that he has to rely on passive breathing to even practice. The only time he can really focus on practice every day is when he goes to bed at night.
…
"This is the end of the Spirit Refining Dao competition."
Fu Xing was presiding over the process on the high platform. He looked at the sword cultivators present who were eager to try, and felt that the atmosphere was neither cold nor hot, so he announced immediately without hesitation.
"The sword competition begins now. The rules are the same as before!"
Everyone was in an uproar instantly.
The sword cultivators here are not just geniuses from Tiansang County.
It can be said that those who would really come all the way for the White Cave must be a swordsman with some swordsmanship.
And those who can come and dare to come here are all confident people.
These people may disdain the battle of spiritual refiners, or they may only focus on the sparring between sword cultivators, or they may long for the sparks of pure sword intent...
In short, in the Eastern Sword God Heaven, there is only one thing that is more desirable than the colorful battles in the Spirit Refining Way.
That's the way of the sword!
"coming!"
During the banquet, as Fu Xing finished speaking, many unfamiliar faces had already stood up.
These people may be older or younger, but obviously none of them are too middle-aged or too old to participate in the war.
And those who can sit in the banquet, not those who go to the high platform to watch, are obviously only guests who come from other places, and have a big background behind them, and are valued by the city lord's palace.
"It's started, it's started, senior brother, second senior brother, if you think you are a junior brother, I will go up and get five places, and you can go up again."
"Or should we take it together?"
"Anyway, there are three high platforms."
Gu Qing, the swordsman without a sword, asked with burning eyes.
He had been envious of Xu Xiaoshou's charm for a long time.
After a discussion in the inn that day, it seems today that all three of them knew they had been deceived by this guy.
Even the sword thought is basically unmistakable, and it is owned by Xu Xiaoshou!
It's a pity that I was really blind at that time and couldn't see...
But now is not the time to think too much about this, let's go back to the sword competition.
Before the battle even started, Gu Qingsan had already decided on the twenty white cave quotas for this battle.
Xu Xiaoshou got five, his senior brother, his second senior brother each got five, and he got five.
Perfect!
"Elder brother, what do you think?" Gu Qing'er also looked at the boss.
Even though Gu Qingyi, the swordsman holding the sword, was sitting down, the gray sword in his arms still did not leave his chest.
He glanced at the other sword cultivators present, and sure enough, none of them caught his eye.
“Is the quota for Bai Cao important?”
Focusing on Xu Xiaoshou's raised body, Gu Qingyi chuckled and said, "Real sword training is what sword cultivators like us should aspire to!"
"It doesn't matter what the order is, as long as Xu Xiaoshou dares to go up, you will take turns to challenge them one by one!"
"If you can cut him off the high platform, I will teach you the 'Big Buddha Cut'!"
