Chapter 385: Brothers and sisters respect each other
Qi Li's gaze was so sharp that many people were able to notice it. Yesterday's martial arts competition in the ring was spread from one person to another, and everyone knew more or less about the "grievance" between him and A-Lan.
Everyone thought Qi Li was looking at Ah Lan, but in fact his focus was on Shangluo. As someone who had personally experienced the Huangfu family's siege and killing of Li Guishou, he could never forget this special existence no matter what.
At this moment, Qi Li's head was about to turn into a puddle. He clearly remembered that this girl should have returned to the capital with the Jin Yiwei.
According to Li Guishou's confession before his death, this girl's origins are not ordinary, and may be related to the official family. If based on common sense, even if she is not under house arrest, she should not be able to appear in the world in such a ostentatious manner.
"Junior Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?" An older senior brother next to Qi Li asked with a frown. Although A Lan made a mistake in what he said, it was really rude for his junior brother to keep an eye on the other person so unscrupulously.
"Senior Brother Yu, do you know that Shang..." Qi Li started to speak, but he changed his words temporarily: "Senior Brother, do you know the origin of the girl next to Gang Leader Lu?"
"So it's Miss Lu you're interested in," Senior Brother Yu looked at him strangely and explained, "That Miss Lu is Gang Leader Lu's sister."
"Miss Lu, sister..."
Hearing this, Qi Li frowned. Unless the second Shang Luo was really carved out of the same mold, that girl was really Li Guishou's daughter, and he would not admit his mistake.
But why did she become the sister of the leader of the Beggar Clan?
Senior Brother Yu saw Qi Li's expression change, but his eyes always stayed on Shangluo. He was also puzzled. When he frowned, he suddenly seemed to think of another possibility.
Could it be that Junior Brother Qi fell in love with that girl at first sight? Such a thought came to Senior Brother Yu's mind. This is not surprising. Qi Li's young hero, that girl is lively and cute, and there seems to be nothing wrong with her.
The more Senior Brother Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. His frown slightly relaxed. He patted Qi Li on the shoulder and said warmly: "Junior Brother Qi, calm down for a moment. We are all children of the world. If you are interested in that girl, you can do it today."
According to the rules of this sword competition, I invite her to the ring to have a duel."
Qi Li Wenyan, however, was mistaken. He shook his head: "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Yu, for your kindness, but this is inappropriate. It is not appropriate to say this in public, so as not to offend the Beggar Clan."
He was not sure whether Shangluo's identity was known to the leader of the Beggar Clan, but no matter what, the identity of Li Guishou's daughter was too special. If it were directly exposed, this sword competition would be in chaos.
Senior Brother Yu chuckled, as if he had come from before: "It doesn't matter whether young people are thin-skinned or not, everything should be done according to Junior Brother's ideas."
Qi Li was a little surprised by his senior brother's tone. Although he was concerned, something seemed wrong. However, he was so confused at the moment that he didn't think about it carefully.
On the other side of the beggars' seats, after a few people sat down, Lu Hanjiang lowered his voice and said, "Then Qi Li must have seen you."
"When you see it, you see it, let him look at it."
Shangluo sat upright next to Yongle, not hiding like that day. She said with a straight face: "If he doesn't come to provoke me, I will pretend that I can't see him. It's best if we have nothing to do with each other."
"Then what if he is here for you?" Lu Hanjiang asked with interest.
Shangluo waved her fist and said viciously: "If he still dares to provoke me, then I won't be polite to him!"
Yongle listened on the sidelines and asked curiously: "Aluo, have you ever had any issues with that person?"
Shangluo nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head silently. Lu Hanjiang cheered from the side: "Well, it is indeed a festival. Rounding it off is half the revenge for killing my father."
After hearing this, Yongle frowned, and then whispered: "Then don't you want revenge? Is that person's martial arts better than yours? If so, my husband...husband, you..."
Meeting Yongle's look, Lu Hanjiang shrugged and said, "I don't care. Anyway, Qi Li is a guilty person. In the past, he felt that doing more was better than doing less, so he didn't care much about him. Now he wants to take action.
, it’s not considered a public revenge.”
"Need not."
Shangluo responded dully, and then turned to other topics. Yongle knew what he meant, so he stopped dwelling on this topic, and the two soon started chatting all over the place.
Lu Hanjiang secretly noticed the change in Shangluo's expression, but smiled and said nothing. A Lan had no idea what riddles the three of them were playing, so he could only listen word by word.
While a few people were talking, Huo Tianya on the stage had already finished his opening remarks. He went back and forth with the same lines every time, but everyone liked to hear the scene, so it didn't sound like they were all talking the same.
The seating arrangement of the Sword Tasting Conference is clearly defined, with the host of the Sword Making Villa sitting at the head, distinguished guests and famous sects next, and so on, with the unknown and powerless people sitting on the periphery.
The various sects below are also clearly differentiated. Wudang is not here. According to the current status of the world, the Beggar Clan should be sitting next to Shaolin.
But in fact, there is a gap between the two sects. As usual, the chief abbots of the North and South Shaolin have not left the temple. Only a few eminent monks of the Ling generation have come. Their actions have shocked others.
He looked at it and shook his head.
The master of Shaolin is good at martial arts, but he obviously cannot read the Buddhist teachings in his heart. Such an obvious act of holding grudges is for fear that others will not know that he is narrow-minded.
Everyone was old acquaintances with these famous sects in the world. Lu Hanjiang naturally had no interest in taking a second look. On the contrary, he was on the side of Zhujian Villa, which was somewhat interesting.
There is no doubt that the owner of the village sits in the first position, but the rest of the seats seem to have been deliberately divided. Those with Huo Tianxing as the center sit on one side, including many martial arts masters who were attracted by Huo Tianya with huge sums of money.
The swordsmiths headed by Gu Ming, who were supposed to be the masters, seemed to be ostracized and sat on the other side away from them.
Many people saw this scene and couldn't help but murmured. Huo Tianya didn't care about these false things. Naturally, his expression was dull. After finishing talking about the scene, he returned to his position and began to talk to the masters around him.
Let's talk.
The next person in charge of presiding over the meeting was the Young Villa Master Huo Yunqi. This scene made everyone start to whisper again. Is it that Huo Tianya wanted to retreat bravely? Otherwise, why would the Young Villa Master stand in front of the stage so early?
.
Huo Tianxing, who was sitting below, frowned slightly after hearing this. He turned his head and approached the woman wearing a woman's bun next to him. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Madam, is this too showy? Brother
Spring and Autumn are at their peak, Yunqi has just grown up, this..."
"Since this matter has been left to me, I don't need to ask any more questions." The woman just said this calmly.
She is the wife of Huo Tianxing. She was born in the world but her martial arts skills were not very good. She had no reputation before she got married, so others did not know her name, so they all called her Mrs. Huo as usual.
Mrs. Huo looked at her child in high spirits on the stage, her eyes full of admiration and pride. Then she caught a glimpse of Huo Tianya, who was laughing and joking with all the martial arts masters above. She couldn't help snorting coldly: "My son is extremely talented, how can he take on this responsibility?"
An empty title means a mediocre life."
"Madam, be careful what you say!" Huo Tianxing hurriedly looked around and found that no one had heard, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he did not blame him, but instead lowered his posture as if begging for mercy: "My good madam, these words
But I don’t dare to let others hear it. If it reaches my eldest brother’s ears, wouldn’t it ruin the relationship between our family?”
"A family? Humph, look at your worthless appearance. That is, you, being treated like a fool by your elder brother, your family's fortune is almost ruined, and you don't even say a word. What are you doing here with me?
What a majesty."
After saying that, Mrs. Huo glared angrily.
"Madam, I have misunderstood. How dare I show off to you?" Seeing Huo Tianxing smiling apologetically, holding the offering in his hands, he was clearly henpecked.
"It's just to let my son take charge of his own business earlier. What can you say?" Mrs. Huo said arrogantly: "You don't have to look at how the foundation of the Sword Making Villa has been ruined by your eldest brother. Over the years, if
If I hadn't subsidized all the dowry, you and your good brother would have gone to the northwest by now."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on new books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Madam. It's all Madam's credit." Huo Tianxing didn't dare to refute, and kept echoing. These words are not false. Madam Huo's natal family is a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River and has a lot of wealth.
Although the two people said something shocking, fortunately, they didn't let anyone else listen. When outsiders saw the couple rubbing their hair together, they just thought it was because the couple had a good relationship.
