The best way for Chinese people to enhance friendship is over the dinner table.
Whether you are talking about business, making friends, or looking for someone to have sex with, etc., you can choose to have a meal first and then solve the problem at the dinner table.
Based on this time-honored principle, Ximen Desheng, Su Anran, and Qingyu quickly passed the awkward period of being strangers, and they seemed to become close friends who talked about everything.
Of course, whether this kind of friend is sincere or fake can only be left to the test of time.
It's like someone is having a meal with you just to have sex with you, but if you naively think that the other person wants to make friends with you, it only means that you are blind.
As one sentence says.
Does love at first sight exist? Maybe it does, but there are so many love at first sight in this world. Most of them are just based on lust.
In another situation, no matter who sees Qingyu, they will probably feel "love at first sight".
But now here, obviously there is no such idea.
"Let go of that ball!" Qingyu shouted softly, and a small jade sword appeared out of thin air, decisively hitting the chopsticks in Ximen Desheng's right hand...
She didn't dare to compete with Su Anran, the meal ticket financier, for food, but if she faced someone like Ximen Desheng who cheated on food and drink, Qingyu would not show mercy.
"I pinched this first." Simon Desheng snorted coldly, flipped his right hand slightly, and the meatballs made of unknown animal meat were thrown into the sky, and then the golden light quickly covered Ximen Desheng's right hand.
, even the chopsticks became glittering.
The next second, Ximen Desheng clenched his chopsticks and quickly moved towards the Jade Flying Sword. There was a faint smell of burning in the air, and a burning path of flames extended directly to the front of the Jade Jade Flying Sword, colliding with the Jade Jade Flying Sword.
.
There was no astonishing sound effect explosion, but Qingyu's flying sword was detonated at this moment and turned into a ball of sparks.
Simon Desheng smiled triumphantly, then raised his hand in an orderly manner, ready to catch the meatball that started to fall.
However, the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Because he discovered that a small section of his chopsticks was missing out of thin air!
This sudden situation made his prediction wrong, and he failed to accurately clamp the meatballs.
When he reacted, he shook his right hand slightly, grasped the chopsticks again and grasped the distance, and was about to pick up the meatballs again. A pair of chopsticks had already poked out from under his chopsticks, and he caught the meatballs accurately, like a flying dragon.
Exploring pearls is normal.
Then the chopsticks quickly retreated, and the meatballs were delivered to Qingyu's mouth.
"Ouch."
Qingyu's face showed a look of satisfaction.
In comparison, Ximen Desheng's face was ashen.
In the battle for the last meatball, Qingyu wins.
Qingyu had a triumphant expression on her face, and chewed her food several times, making Ximen Desheng so angry that he put down his chopsticks on the spot.
Qingyu, who has been following Su Anran for many days, has long known that everything in this room is made of stone wall ore. This kind of thing is not resistant to high temperatures and can melt quickly with the slightest spark. So from the beginning, you have to snatch the meatballs.
At that time, Qingyu had already thought of taking advantage of this. No matter what method Ximen Desheng used to block it, as long as her flying leaves came into contact with the chopsticks, Qingyu would be able to grab the meatballs.
This is the loss of information.
After all, it would have been impossible for Ximen Desheng to personally prepare a den for himself like Su Anran and Qing Yu. And the children of the Ximen family who followed him would also have been impossible to spend so much energy and imagination on studying these things.
Qingyu feels that information is really a good thing.
"Tell me about it." Su Anran also put down her chopsticks.
The food on the table has been eaten by several people, especially the three people from the Ximen family. In Su Anran's opinion, they are no different from starving ghosts.
Of course, if Su Anran were allowed to take Bigu Pills for several days, his image would probably not be any better than those of Simon Desheng and others.
"How did you come to fight with the Sword Sect?" Su Anran asked, "As one of the thirty-six sects, the Sword Sect would not provoke your Ximen Family under normal circumstances. The two sides are not at the same level at all, and even if it is true,
If we start fighting with you, it can’t be just that few people.”
Ximen Desheng glanced at Su Anran, then at Qingyu, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Because of the cave."
"Dongfu?" Su Anran and Qingyu were surprised.
It's only been a few days, and someone has already discovered the cave?
But after thinking about it carefully, Su Anran felt that this answer was reasonable.
This time, no matter whether it is the Nineteenth Sect, the Shang Sect, or even other small sects, their purpose is to come to the cave. As long as they can find a cave ruins, they can get something from it.
Inheritance or any harvest will definitely be greater than the reward from Wanshi Tower, so it is impossible that no one will not be tempted.
Only in this case would the Sword Sect dare to challenge the Ximen Family.
"Only you and the people from the Sword Sect have discovered it so far?" Su Anran asked.
"It was before." Simon Desheng nodded, "But it's hard to say now."
Su Anran nodded, expressing understanding.
If they had not taken action before, I am afraid that only one Ximen Desheng of the Ximen Family could survive this time... No, Su Anran shook his head slightly and denied his idea. Obviously not all members of the Sword Sect took action, so the final result is very likely
Even Ximen Desheng cannot survive, so the discovery of the cave in the Land of Souls will be exclusively enjoyed by the disciples of the Sword Sect.
But now...
"The Sword Sect will probably join forces with others." Su Anran said lightly, "You have no hope."
Simon Desheng said nothing, but looked at Su Anran with burning eyes.
"Sorry, I'm not gay." Su Anran said subconsciously.
"Gay?" Ximen Desheng was confused.
"Just get used to it." At this time, Qingyu finally let go of the arrogance of the winner and said.
She followed Su Anran and often had to listen to these words that she didn't understand at all.
However, she felt that this might be the way Master Huang of Taiyi Valley educated his disciples. After all, the famous Master Huang always said something that almost no one could understand. However, many monks believed that it was precisely because these words that they could not understand contained
It contains a lot of philosophy or mystery. If they can understand its meaning, then maybe they can become as powerful as Taiyigu disciples.
Qingyu happens to be a loyal supporter of this theory.
Su Anran rolled her eyes at Qingyu angrily, and then said, "I mean, I don't intend to get involved in this."
"Why?" Simon Desheng was a little surprised.
"The Sword Sect must be thinking of ways to contact other people now. Not to mention contacting the people from the Fairy Palace, as long as they join forces with the people from Tianwang Temple, you will have no chance at all." Su Anran shook her head, "Now you Ximen
There are only three of you left in the family, and two of them seem unlikely to recover without ten days and a half of rest, so what else do you have to fight for the cave?"
Seeing that Ximen Desheng seemed to want to say something else, Su Anran reached out to stop him from speaking, and then continued: "And in terms of the right to choose, I think joining the Sword Sect has a better chance of winning than joining you.
Isn't it?...So you see, you can't convince me."
"But... you just killed someone from the Sword Sect." Simon Desheng frowned. He felt that the man in front of him was quite difficult to deal with.
In fact, when Simon Desheng said these words, it meant that his way of thinking had been led by Su Anran.
The pace of negotiation has completely fallen into Su Anran's accustomed realm.
Therefore, the corner of Su Anran's mouth raised slightly: "The Sword Sect doesn't know that the person who killed them and the person who rescued you is me."
The muscles of the other two disciples of the Ximen family tightened instantly, and they almost jumped up to strike first. If Ximen Desheng hadn't remained sitting still, Su Anran believed that these two people would be unable to hold back and jump up.
It has to be said that it is not a fluke that Simon Desheng became a genius. At least his understanding and judgment of the situation are relatively reliable.
The only thing lacking is probably negotiation experience.
This may be related to his status as the core direct descendant of the Ximen Family: the core direct descendants of the family are accustomed to rich clothes and fine food, and generally do not participate in the family's diplomatic work before they reach the natal realm or even the soul-condensing realm. Their only
The responsibility that needs to be shouldered is to improve one's own strength as quickly as possible, and then become the mainstay of the family.
After all, "If you don't manifest your destiny, your life will be wasted; if you don't condense a new soul, you will live less than a thousand years." Therefore, before entering the realm of destiny and soul condensation, the so-called children of aristocratic families for a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, that is,
A fleeting thing.
Just like the concept of "one hundred years", for long-lived species, it may be like taking a nap, sleeping, eating a meal, and reading a book, but for humans who have not completed the transformation of life,
That's a lifetime thing.
"I think I kind of understand what you mean." Simon Desheng sighed softly, "But I don't think this is a good choice."
"When you go to war with people from the Sword Sect, and then you fail to completely defeat each other, there is no good choice." Su Anran said lightly, "It's nothing more than choosing between worse and worse situations.
Just one."
Having said this, Su Anran smiled: "So, do you want to choose the worse one, or the worse one?"
"If there is a choice, I would rather choose neither." Simon Desheng shook his head.
"But it's better than the current situation." Su Anran shrugged, "At least you got a ticket for negotiation."
Ximen Desheng nodded, then glanced at Qingyu and said, "Your Highness Qingyu, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Qingyu blinked, "I listen to him."
Qingyu reached out and pointed at Su Anran, but her eyes were still wandering among the food on the table, trying to find the fish that had slipped through the net.
"Don't worry about her, it's hard for her to understand what we're talking about with her IQ."
"You have a low IQ!" Qingyu shouted unconvinced.
"Then tell me, what did we discuss just now?" Su Anran asked calmly.
Qingyu didn't even raise her head, and continued to search intently in the meal, but she said: "Isn't it just that, instead of looking for others to join forces, it is better to negotiate with the people of the Sword Sect. After all, more people are involved.
If you come in to explore the cave, everyone's income will decrease. The people in the Sword Sect are not idiots and they will definitely not refuse."
Su Anran was shocked: "You actually understand?"
Qingyu was angry: "I'm just too lazy to think, it doesn't mean I don't understand! Anyone who doesn't understand such a simple thing is a fool, right?"
The two descendants of the Ximen family lowered their heads in embarrassment and decided to pretend to be dead.
"Okay." Su Anran felt that Qingyu's IQ was rare for once, "This is probably the situation... The Sword Sect may have some grudges, but the current situation is no longer their turn to make a decision.
"
"You mean, the initiative is on our side?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Su Anran was a little skeptical. Ximen Desheng's IQ may not be as high as Qingyu's. "Tell me about the situation in this cave."
…
"Senior brother." A young Sword Sect disciple quickly came to a white-haired young man and whispered.
"No one found?" the white-haired young man asked.
"I don't know where he is hiding." This young Sword Sect disciple said bitterly.
This white-haired young man is Yang Qi, the leader of the Sword Sect this time.
His talent is not outstanding, it can only be regarded as average, but what makes him better is that he is stable and diligent enough.
If it weren't for the news about the birth of Dongfu in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the Sword Sect would not have let him be the team leader.
After all, young geniuses are relatively free-spirited and arrogant, and often do things impulsively. It is precisely because of this that Yang Qi is responsible for leading the team this time, at least for the benefit of the sect.
He will not be vague about important matters.
"Senior brother!" Another disciple of the Sword Sect ran over quickly, "Ximen Desheng wants to see you."
"How dare he come!" The Sword Sect disciple who had previously reported that he could not find anyone had an angry look on his face.
"He is alone?" Yang Qi was a little surprised.
"More than that." The disciple shook his head, "Beside him there is a sword cultivator and His Highness Qingyu from the Demon Alliance."
Yang Qi shut up and said nothing.
"Brother, there are only three of them, let's take them all down!" The angry Sword Sect disciple said, "It must have been the sword cultivator and Qingyu from the Demon Alliance who killed so many of us yesterday.
Junior brother, let’s take them down to sacrifice the spirits of so many of our sect members who died yesterday!”
"Ping An, if you were more calm, our division would let you lead the team this time." Yang Qi sighed and looked at his junior brother helplessly, "Ximen Desheng just left yesterday, and he dared to come to us today.
, can’t you use your brain to think more about the reasons?”
"The reason? Is there any reason more important than the fact that we sacrificed so many of our classmates!"
"Alas." Yang Qi shook his head, and then slowly said, "Dongfu."
"As long as we kill them, the cave will be ours!"
The look of helplessness on Yang Qi's face became even heavier.
He ignored his junior brother and turned to look at his other junior brother: "Lead the way. Let's go see what they have to say."
