On this day, Song Zhong's Bingling City welcomed three distinguished guests. They are Shui Wuhen, a Mahayana monk from the Xuantian Dao Sect, Feng Leilie, a fused monk from the Splitting Sky Sword Sect, and Su Qingya, a fused monk from the Xuanji Tao Sect.
Although the Xuanji Dao Sect and the Splitting Sky Sword Sect canceled the arrest warrant against Song Zhong, they were just forced to do so due to pressure. In fact, they still had a hostile attitude towards Song Zhong, but they did not want to lose both sides, so they had to Temporarily ceased activity. Therefore, although they no longer wanted Song Zhong, they had no intention of becoming friends with Song Zhong.
Take Ice Spirit City as an example. Most of the righteous cultivation sects have branches here to buy and sell their own sect’s excess and needed materials. However, the Xuanji Dao Sect and the Sky Splitting Sword Sect ignored Song Zhong at all. Even their disciples hardly came here, let alone opening a shop. Even when he came, he would do so secretly and covertly, for fear of being recognized as a member of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect and Xuanji Dao Sect.
Under such circumstances, the relationship between Song Zhong and these two major sects would naturally not improve. Although it's not to the point of a big fight, it's definitely below freezing.
But Song Zhong never expected that after 30 years, the two major sects would suddenly come to visit him again.
If it were just the two of them, according to Song Zhong's temper, he would not pay attention at all, and would even scold them away with harsh words. But this time, they were led by Shui Wuhen.
As the saying goes, looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, Shui Wuhen, a Mahayana monk, took great care of Song Zhong. Song Zhong really had to sell her face. Therefore, even though he didn't want to, he still stayed in the city lord's mansion in Bingling City. A banquet was held in honor of their party.
Out of respect for Shui Wuhen, Song Zhong was still embarrassed to show off when she introduced Feng Leilie and Su Qingya. Besides, don’t hit the smiling person with your hand. Whether it was the gentle Feng Lei Lie or the charming Su Qingya with a charming smile, Song Zhong showed great respect. He did not regard Song Zhong as a junior at all, but treated him as equals, and there was no trace of the arrogance of a big sect. Acting very easy-going.
Under such circumstances, Song Zhong naturally couldn't lose his temper and had no choice but to invite them to the banquet with a smiling face.
In order to show his affection for Shui Wuhen, the banquet table set up by Song Zhong was absolutely extraordinary. The wine was brewed with thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and all the dishes were made of spiritual creatures. Among them, there are mostly vegetarian dishes such as mushrooms, and the meat dishes are just some light spiritual fish.
Obviously, these things were very suitable to the taste of Shui Wuhen and others, and they were extremely happy eating them. In fact, in the entire world of cultivation, the only person who could prepare such a table of luxurious food and drinks was Song Zhong, a prodigal son. Even a Mahayana monk in a super sect would never be able to cook, eat, and drink wine with thousand-year-old spiritual grass all day long. Their family has a great cause, so all these things must be refined into elixirs and given to the disciples. As for Song Zhong, his subordinates are all demons of flowers and trees, so they don't need to take these things. He happens to have so much spiritual grass that he can hardly hold it, so he can be so luxurious.
Such high-quality food and wine, coupled with plain elegance and Feng Lei Lie's humorous and appropriate remarks, made this banquet a feast for both the guest and the host.
Song Zhong could tell during the meal that Feng Leilie and Su Qingya must be the people in charge of diplomacy in their respective sects. Not only are they lovable in appearance, but they also have sweet mouths. Their ability to flatter others is definitely the best. One of the best in the world, Song Zhong was photographed without leaving any trace, and he almost regarded them as his closest friends.
Fortunately, the special skills Song Zhong practiced gave him an extremely tough heart, and he was able to withstand their sugar-coated bullets without losing his mind.
All of this was seen by Shui Wuhen, who was observing silently. She saw that Song Zhong was being flirted with and praised so hard by these two people. But he could always maintain a normal mind, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Although Song Zhong is not a big kid, he is very sophisticated. It is really not easy for him to be able to block the flattery of these two people." '
After the banquet, Song Zhong ordered three cups of fragrant tea to be served. Although it was not the best tea like Enlightenment Tea, it was still tea produced by the 100,000-year-old Lingcha tree. Comfortable, like becoming an immortal.
Feng Leilie and Su Qingya blew Song Zhong for more than half an hour. Their mouths were almost smoking. They did not blow Song Zhong into confusion. They felt frustrated in their hearts. They knew that Song Zhong was not the kind of person who could be easily persuaded. They couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly, and then they started drinking tea honestly without wasting any more effort.
Song Zhong knew that with their status, these three people would definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, so after serving tea, he sent out all the flower demons serving them, leaving only the four of them in the hall. Then Song Zhong didn't say much. He just sipped the tea with a smile and said in his heart: "Ignoring courtesy is a traitor or a thief! I want to see what tricks you are playing!"
Seeing Song Zhong driving everyone else out, Shui Wuhen and others knew what Song Zhong had seen, but Shui Wuhen was not in a hurry. Her identity was there, she was a step above everyone else, so it was not the right time to start. What's more, she was just here to act as a liaison person this time. She didn't want to favor any party, so like Song Zhong, she drank tea silently without saying a word.
Su Qingya and Feng Leilie glanced at each other and immediately knew what Song Zhong and Shui Wuhen were planning, and felt depressed in their hearts. They obviously came to Song Zhong to ask for something this time, otherwise they wouldn't have flattered Song Zhong so shamelessly just now.
And when asking for help, if you can't wait to ask, you will be completely at a disadvantage and can only passively wait for others to make conditions. This is obviously something they don't want to see.
But Song Zhong is invulnerable to fire and water, and the actions they had just taken to get closer ended in failure. Now Song Zhong is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Shui Wuhen is pretending to be mute, Feng Leilie and Su Qingya have no choice but to bite the bullet. On. Although they knew that if they took the initiative, they would be stretching their necks to let Song Zhongzai kill them, but when forced into this situation, they could only do this.
Feng Leilie coughed twice first, and then spoke first: "Ahem, Brother Song, I think your Ice Spirit City is really prosperous and prosperous. There are probably not less than a million monks coming and going from all walks of life." , I don’t know how many people are trading here, oh my, have you made a fortune?”
"Haha!" Song Zhong laughed and said: "Everywhere, there are just some small coins, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
"Oh, Brother Song is really good at joking. With such a large transaction volume, you don't know how much it is just pumping water? I'm afraid it's not enough to describe it!" Su Qingya followed with a smile and said: "Sister, I am I'm going to be so poor, I wonder if Brother Song can help me?" As she spoke, her beautiful eyes teased Song Zhong from time to time, and an infinitely mature charm came directly to her, and she really gave Song Zhong Gou's heart was on fire.
Song Zhong was the least immune to beautiful women. Seeing her like this, Song Zhong felt soft in his heart. He stopped caring about the past and said magnanimously: "It just so happens that I still have a shop here that I haven't rented out yet. Sister wants to If you want it, just take it, no need to buy it!”
"Oh, thank you so much, brother Song!" Su Qingya exclaimed happily, and then suddenly said: "However, I have some sisters who also have some spare money and want to play a hand. I wonder if my brother can give me some shops in Duoyun. ?I can double the rent!"
When Song Zhong heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said calmly: "I'm really sorry, my Bingling City has rules. A family can only have one shop, and the same goes for your Xuanji Dao Sect! Sister, please don't blame me! "
In fact, it's no wonder Song Zhong was angry. Even though Bingling City looked small, it actually didn't have many shops. Because monks have very high requirements for the environment, they cannot just open wherever they find a place like ordinary people. Therefore, the smallest shop here is several acres in size, with four or five-story pavilions above it, which is very impressive.
Naturally, there aren't many shops like this, so you can't just come and sell them. In order to protect his own interests, Song Zhong stipulated that each shop would only sell one shop. Except for the dozens of shops occupied by Xuantian Daozong, the rest belonged to Song Zhong himself. Anyway, he has a lot of stuff, and he can fit it in no matter how many shops he has.
Since Bingling City is now well-known as the largest and most high-end trading place in the world of cultivation, the shops here are doing a very prosperous business, and everyone is making money every day, so no one is willing to sell.
Song Zhong followed the old rules and gave Shui Wuhen a room in his shop because of Shui Wuhen's reputation and the fact that Su Qingya was not annoying either. However, he didn't expect that this woman was pushing her limits and wanted to continue to take advantage of her. This made Song Zhong extremely disgusted, so he flatly refused.
Su Qingya didn't expect Song Zhong to be so disrespectful. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Song, you have so many shops that you can't even see them in a snapshot. Can't you take care of your sister?"
"Rules are just rules!" Song Zhong shook his head and said, "Sorry, please forgive me for not making an exception!"
"Really?" Su Qingya heard this and finally said with some displeasure: "You did such a serious thing to our Xuanji Dao Sect, but we didn't pursue it. Could it be that now that I ask you for a shop, you are reluctant to give it to me? "
Obviously, Su Qingya was playing the tragedy card. In her opinion, by taking the initiative to lower her worth and come to Song Zhong to discuss the matter in person, she had given Song Zhong a lot of face. In addition, when Song Zhong killed Aunt Yue and other two Void Refining monks, Song Zhong No matter what, we should make an exception.
However, Su Qingya obviously underestimated Song Zhong's stubbornness. Hearing Su Qingya's words, Song Zhong not only did not flinch, but became even more angry. He smiled coldly and said angrily: "Ha, if sister says that, I won't be able to give it to you!"
