Wang Tiezhu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a half-smile: "Even if the spirit tea is good, Master Zhou should keep it for himself and enjoy it, so we don't have to."
"oh?"
Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face faded. He turned back and sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully. While tasting it, he said: "Several disciples of the Shangzong came to my house, but they...
If I don't even want to take a sip of tea and let others know about it, doesn't it mean that I, Zhou Hao, have no manners?"
Wu Sili smiled coldly and was about to speak sarcastically, but Zhang Tingruo stopped him with his eyes.
Wang Tiezhu smiled and asked instead instead of answering Zhou Hao's words.
"I heard that the Zhou family came from Zhongzhou. However, compared with Zhongzhou, this Yuhua City has a harsh environment and lack of resources. It has to resist attacks from snow monsters every year. How could the head of the Zhou family stay away from his homeland and settle here?
?”
Zhou Hao glanced at Wang Tiezhu and sneered: "What? Doesn't the Shangzong not allow people from other states to settle in the north?"
"That's not true. I just really can't figure it out. Is the reason why the head of the Zhou family moved from Zhongzhou because he has special feelings for this place, or...does he have other motives?"
Wang Tiezhu narrowed his eyes slightly and said these words calmly.
In an instant, the entire lobby fell into silence, as if even the air had solidified. Zhou Hao looked at Wang Tiezhu with a gloomy expression and said nothing.
quite a while.
Zhou Hao laughed and said: "Oh! There are so many reasons. The reason why I brought my family to settle in Yuhua City is simply because I offended others in Zhongzhou and couldn't survive, so I had to come here to beg for food.
That’s all, Xiaoyou Wang, don’t think of Zhou as a bad guy!”
"Yeah?"
Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "That's quite rude."
At this moment, I heard a rush of shouting coming from outside the door.
"City Lord Chen Liuhen has arrived!"
"The leader of the Luoyu Peak Sect, Xiong Keran, has arrived!"
Zhou Hao's expression changed when he heard this, and the smile that had just appeared on his face disappeared again. He glanced gloomily at Wang Tiezhu and the others who were there, and quickly stood up and went out to greet them.
As soon as he went out, he ran into the boy who had just shouted.
"Why didn't you report it in advance?!"
Hearing this, the young man had a sad look on his face, "Sir, the city lord and Sect Master Xiong broke in without saying a word. I can't stop them! I can only report to the master first!"
"waste!"
Zhou Hao cursed angrily, but saw a group of people walking towards the front yard.
The two leaders, one is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a lavender robe, with an aloof aura and a long beard. He is the lord of Yuhua City, Chen Liuhen.
The other person is an old man with a white beard, wearing a blue and white robe. He has white hair and a childish face, and looks like an immortal. This person is the leader of the Luoyu Peak Sect, Xiong Keran.
Behind the two of them, there were five or six Luo Yufeng disciples, and Ye Huanxi was also among them.
Zhou Hao saw this group of people and walked forward with a smile.
"Didn't City Master Chen and Sect Leader Xiong go to the Endless Snow Region to eliminate the snow monsters? Why did they come back so soon?"
Chen Liuhen smiled slightly and said: "There are not many snow monsters this year, so I didn't spend much effort. After I came back, I heard that several disciples from the Shang Sect came to my Yuhua City and were staying at your house, so I went with Sect Master Xiong to
We came together to visit, didn’t I disturb you?”
Zhou Hao waved his hands repeatedly, "What are you talking about? Those Shangzong disciples are in the lobby. Please follow me."
soon.
Chen Liuhen and his party followed Zhou Hao back to the lobby. When Wang Tiezhu and others saw it, they quickly stood up and saluted, "I, Wang Tiezhu of Litian Sword Sect Que Yufeng, have met City Master Chen and Sect Master Xiong!"
Beside Zhang Tingruo, several people also saluted one after another.
Chen Liuhen looked at Wang Tiezhu, smiled and nodded.
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age! Wang Xiaoyou is so young, his cultivation has reached the ultimate realm, which is beyond the reach of us old bones!"
Xiong Kairan, the leader of the Luoyu Peak Sect, was also praising him.
"After all, you are still a disciple of Shangzong, who is countless times better than those disciples in my sect! I heard that yesterday Xiaoyou Zhang went to my Luo Yu Peak to exchange Taoist skills, and Elder Ma was full of praise for you! It's just that the old man is not in the peak,
It’s really a pity that I couldn’t see my little friend’s opinions!”
Zhang Tingruo smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I just expressed some of my own experiences and insights on the Taoism. It is not a true insight, which made Sect Master Xiong laugh."
"Anyway, I heard Elder Ma say some of my friends' speeches. Even I couldn't help but applaud some of them. Don't belittle yourself anymore. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the sect in person to ask for advice!"
"Then I'll be waiting for the arrival of Sect Master Xiong!"
Zhou Hao stood aside and watched them chatting animatedly with a gloomy expression.
It’s like you are the guest!
"Ahem!"
He coughed a few times, attracting the attention of others, "City Master Chen, Sect Leader Xiong, let's not stand and talk anymore. Come on, please take a seat! Come here! Prepare tea for a few guests!"
Hearing this, Chen Liuhen smiled and shook his head.
"Master Zhou, don't bother. We are here today. In addition to paying a visit to some of the disciples of the sect, we also want to ask Master Zhou about something. We will leave after that."
Zhou Hao was shocked. He glanced at Yan Chang who was disguised in the corner, and then smiled and said, "I wonder what it is?"
Chen Liuhen still had a warm smile on his face.
"I heard that something happened in the Luo family some time ago, and Sect Master Xiong and I happened to be out of town, so we came to ask the Master of the Zhou family. I wonder how much the Master of the Zhou family knows?"
"The Luo family..."
Zhou Hao pretended to think for a while before continuing: "I don't know much about this matter. After all, it's a family matter, so I can't ask too many questions.
It seems to be that the Snow Immortal brewed by Erlang of the Luo family this year turned into poisonous wine due to some problems. The old man of the Luo family was so angry that he fell ill, and Erlang was expelled from the house. I don’t know the rest."
"Really?"
Chen Liuhen smiled and said, "But how did I hear that this matter has a close relationship with you, Master Zhou?"
"What? Who said this? Isn't this a slander?"
Zhou Hao said with a surprised look on his face: "City Lord, you have to make the decision for me! Since my Zhou family came to Yuhua City, I have never done anything out of the ordinary, but now I am being slandered like this for no reason!"
Wang Tiezhu squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Hao's performance with a half-smile.
"Master Zhou, don't worry. If you are slandered, I will definitely clear your name. However, if this matter really has anything to do with you, please don't say that I, Chen, have turned against you."
"That's for sure!"
Although Zhou Hao was a little frightened, he still felt that with Luo Shengde's cowardly temperament, he would never dare to expose him.
