Qionghua Restaurant is the top restaurant in Qingzhou City. It is located on a lake. It is nine stories high. It is decorated gorgeously and exquisitely, making it unique. There are also three Liuyeling chefs inside, cooking delicious dishes.
It is full of color, fragrance and spiritual power, surpassing the whole city.
As the Jinchi Conference was about to begin, the sound in the Qionghua Restaurant was also quite lively. It was late at night, and the entire nine-story restaurant was already packed with seats, mostly the young generation of Jindan masters from all over the Chu Dynasty.
"Senior Brother Wei Feng, I heard that your opponent is a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core? You are really lucky. The first round of one-on-one competition will be worry-free." Someone beside a banquet couldn't help but say.
Wei Feng shook his head and said: "Cultivation is cultivation, combat effectiveness is combat effectiveness, who knows whether the opponent has powerful tricks. Zhong Liao, are you right?"
Zhong Liao was engrossed in eating. Hearing this, he nodded quickly.
The two of them have a deep understanding of this, because not long ago, they met a guy with abnormal strength, who was only in the early stage of the golden elixir, but the two of them were not an enemy at all.
"However, if we say that the one with the best luck is definitely Senior Brother Qiu Yan, his opponent is a little guy in the early stage of the Golden Core, which is really enviable." The man's eyes turned and fell on another person.
Everyone present here was a contestant. When they heard this, their faces were full of envy. You must know that among the monks participating this time, there were only a few early-stage Jindan monks, but Qiu Yan met one. In the first round of one-on-one
In the competition, you can definitely win.
A trace of pride flashed through Qiu Yan's eyes, but he sighed: "The opponent is so bad that I can't win with force!" He himself was a late-stage Jindan cultivator, so no one thought he was rude when he said this.
"With such an opponent, it's too late for us to envy you, but you think your opponent is too weak. You really get an advantage and act like a good boy." Someone laughed and said, "By the way, Senior Brother Qiuyan, who is your opponent? Which force is it?
A disciple? If he is from a famous sect, don’t let him lose too miserably, otherwise it will not look good.”
Qiu Yan sighed again and said: "It would be nice if he was from a famous sect, but it's a pity that this guy comes from a small city in southern Xinjiang, and I have never heard of his name before. Even if I beat him, it would be disgraceful."
Everyone was envious again. He had no background and weak cultivation. Who wouldn't want such an opponent?
"Then who is this person?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.
"Here, it's this guy. His name seems to be Chen Xi. I don't even remember..." As he spoke, Qiu Yan took out a phantom jade slip and transformed into a tall figure.
When everyone saw that it was an extremely unfamiliar face, they immediately lost interest and began to shout and toast Qiu Yan.
Only Wei Feng and Zhong Liao, when they saw this figure, their hearts trembled and they were stunned. Isn't this person... the pervert who cannot be judged by common sense?
For a moment, the two people looked at Qiu Yan with pity.
At a banquet table on the other side, there were only two men and one woman sitting.
One of the two men is as handsome as a woman, but his every move carries a cold and sharp air. The other wears a crown on his head and an embroidered robe. He has a strange appearance, a gentle and elegant demeanor, and is extraordinary.
The appearance and dress of these two people were extremely outstanding, and their temperament was far beyond ordinary people, but in front of that woman, they seemed to be overshadowed.
This woman was wearing a light cyan simple long dress. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a slim figure. Her silky black hair was tied into a high bun, which made her face even more beautiful.
If Chen Xi were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that these three people are An Qianyu from the Split Sky Sword Sect, Wang Daoxu from the Mingxia Sect, and Zhen Liuqing from the Yange Pavilion in the East China Sea.
"Ha, that guy is very lucky..." An Qianyu obviously overheard the conversation between Qiu Yan and the people at the table, and couldn't help but laugh. But immediately, he froze, "Chen Xi? I heard you right, he said
Is it Chen Xi?"
Wang Daoxu nodded and said: "You heard it right, it is indeed Chen Xi, the little guy in the Huangting realm who was hunted for hundreds of thousands of miles by Huangfu Chongming and others. I didn't expect that not only did he not die, but he has now advanced to the golden level.
It’s early stage of Dan.”
"That guy must be unlucky. Although Chen Xi's cultivation level is slightly lower, he is quite capable. When he was in the Huangting realm, even Huangfu Chongming and others couldn't do anything to him, let alone now?" An Qianyu drank a drink.
Jiu said thoughtfully, "I'm really curious now about how far this guy can go in the Golden Pool Conference."
"Don't you want to fight him?" Wang Daoxu said with a smile.
"I thought, I wanted to fight him as early as the Qianyuan Treasure House, but it's a pity that it has never been realized until now." An Qianyu sighed.
"Haha, after hearing what you said, I am also very interested in fighting him. Let's see how this guy can arouse your fighting passion, and how he can avoid the pursuit of Huangfu Chongming and others.
"Yes." Wang Daoxu smiled casually.
"I advise you to be careful. It's not enough to treat him as an equal opponent. You must go all out. Maybe there is some chance of winning. Of course, this is just my suggestion." At this moment, Zhen Liuqing, who had been sipping tea,
Suddenly he spoke.
An Qianyu and Wang Daoxu were startled at the same time, and their expressions became serious. But they knew that since Zhen Liuqing said that, there must be a reason.
"Could it be..." An Qianyu said.
"Don't ask me, you will know after you give it a try at the Jinchi Conference." Zhen Liuqing waved her hand and interrupted. Her clear eyes were calm, but seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking in her heart.
An Qianyu wanted to ask again, but was disturbed by the noise coming from Qiu Yan's table.
"Qiu Yan is here to wish you all a successful start at the Jinchi Conference tomorrow!"
"Hey, thank you for your good luck. It's a pity that we don't have the same good luck as Brother Qiuyan."
"Yes, Brother Qiu Yan will definitely be able to capture him in the battle tomorrow without any effort. I suddenly thought of a good idea. How about we place a bet together and bet that Brother Qiu Yan will win?"
"Wonderful! This is exactly what I want!"
"Waiter, didn't your restaurant also open a handicap? Come here quickly, brothers want to place bets!"
"Everyone, I tell you, you are embarrassing me by doing this." Qiu Yan repeatedly begged for mercy: "You know you will win or lose, but you still bet with this. Even if you win the bet, Mr. Qiu's face will be disgraced."
However, everyone was unwilling to give up. They called the waiter and started to place bets one after another. There were one thousand Ning Ying Dan, two thousand Ning Ying Dan, and no more than ten thousand at most. Most of them were happy with their small bets and playing.
Just for fun.
Only Wei Feng and Zhong Liao did not place a bet, and they immediately became the focus of everyone.
"Two senior brothers, why don't you have fun? This is also to cheer for senior brother Qiu Yan." Someone said dissatisfiedly, which soon attracted the support of others and started shouting.
Wei Feng and Zhong Liao looked at each other. It wasn't that they didn't want to bet, but they had already guessed the outcome. If the bet was on Chen Xi, they would naturally be happy, but if it was Qiu Yan... they wouldn't want to spend such unjust money.
"That's it, that's all. You can't force this matter. Please let them both go." Qiu Yan said with a smile, but his voice was much colder. Apparently, he felt that Wei Feng and Zhong Liao were not giving them face.
"What a bunch of noisy bastards!" An Qianyu was about to ask Zhen Liuqing some more questions, but was interrupted by these people. He felt quite irritated. He was about to stand up and teach these people a lesson, but suddenly his eyes blurred. I don't know when.
, a woman was already standing next to Qiu Yan's table.
"Aren't you going to place a bet? I'll come too, with one hundred thousand Ningying Dan." This woman was dressed in a black dress, with skin like snow, black hair like waterfalls, starry eyes, a delicate and beautiful face, and a voice like the sound of nature.
Pleasing to the ear.
Hearing this, the restaurant suddenly became silent, and you could hear the drop of a needle. One hundred thousand Ning Ying Dan, this is definitely a big deal!
Even on some big handicaps in Qingzhou City, few people have such courage and spend such an astonishing amount of wealth to bet.
In addition, the person placing the bet at this time was a woman with a beautiful face, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone speculated on the identity of this woman.
Qiu Yan was stunned, looking at the charming and beautiful woman next to him, and even smelled a wisp of orchid-like fragrance in his mouth and nose. He felt warm in his heart, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your support, Miss. You are so kind, Qiu Yan."
I am really flattered."
All of Qiu Yan's friends next to him also looked envious. A small bet had inadvertently attracted the attention of a stunning beauty. How could such a blessing not be enviable?
Even An Qianyu, Wang Daoxu and Zhen Liuqing couldn't help but frown. This woman has such a good temperament, shouldn't her eyesight be so bad?
The woman in black gave Qiu Yan a faint smile, like a flower bud blooming after the rain, so beautiful and elegant, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I want to bet on Chen Xisheng."
The smile on Qiu Yan's face suddenly froze, as if struck by lightning.
Others were also shocked, never expecting such a dramatic scene to happen.
Wei Feng and Zhong Liao almost couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene, especially when they saw Qiu Yan's face turning green and white.
Qiu Yan had completely forgotten when the woman in black left. The extremely strong shame surged into his heart, making him feel on pins and needles. What was especially abominable was that this happened in full view of the public... At this moment, he really felt
I wish I could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
All of his friends were also chatting with each other. They wanted to say something, but they kept their mouths shut.
"Alas! I didn't expect that there would be such a blind woman in this world. That's all. I, sir, don't care about her." Qiu Yan took a deep breath and pretended to smile calmly, but in his heart he said viciously: "Smelly bitch"
Guys, when I win against that kid tomorrow, let’s see if you still dare to ignore me!”
"Yes, today's women, regardless of their beauty, are actually just flower vases."
"Brother Qiu Yan, don't worry. Such a visionless woman is not worth your anger."
"That's right, let's drink and ignore them."
Qiu Yan's friends may have wanted to lighten the atmosphere, so they all started to persuade him.
"Aren't you placing a bet? Let me play too." At this moment, a quiet ding-dong sound sounded in his ears again. Qiu Yan raised his head and saw another woman with a picturesque face and a charming woman walking over.
.
Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope again in his heart. The woman just now was blind, and this woman in front of her would definitely not be like that. Otherwise, there would be too many vases in the world, which would be too despairing.
"I bet 200,000 Infant Condensation Pills on Chen Xi's victory." The woman's lips parted slightly and she softly uttered a few words.
Qiu Yan was completely confused and dumbfounded. The hope that had just risen in his heart was shattered. Was he too stupid and naive, or was the world changing too fast...
————
In a corner of the restaurant, Su Chan, dressed in white, was silent.
He witnessed everything that happened just now, but in his mind he remembered the scene when his family was destroyed in a sea of fire a few years ago.
Chen Xi!
It’s Chen Xi again!
The anger and hatred hidden deep in his heart was about to be ignited. Like a roaring and ferocious beast, it began to agitate again, trying to overwhelm his reason. He quickly took a deep breath. After a long time, his mood calmed down slightly.
His eyes had become extremely cold, and his whole body was exuding a chilling air.
"The woman in black just now is Miss Yaqing from Tianbao Tower. She is the most capable subordinate of Mrs. Shuihua, but her identity is extremely mysterious. The second woman's name is Zhen Liuqing, a disciple of Yange Pavilion in Donghai Sea, and is considered by the current Emperor Chu
He is a person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Qing Xiuyi and Huangfu Qingying. He is low-key, but his strength is unfathomable."
Next to Su Chan, the bamboo pole man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said slowly: "We can't afford to offend these two women, so if you want to take revenge on Chen Xi, you'd better not start with them."
Su Chan glared at the bamboo pole man coldly, remained silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "I will kill him with my own hands!"
