Runfeng Restaurant is located in Yunshi Lane, which happened to be under the rule of Weiyi where Tao Qingyuan was.
Tao Qingyuan walked ahead of the crowd, and during this period, acquaintances kept coming to greet him for the New Year, and Tao Qingyuan also responded enthusiastically.
At first glance, it really has the temperament of a leading core.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of Runfeng Restaurant.
"Why did you slow down?"
Runfeng Restaurant was at the door, but Xu Ning found that the footsteps of the people in front stopped.
Xu Ning looked sideways, and saw a group of people coming from the other side of the restaurant.
And the leader on the opposite side is none other than Tan Fengying.
"Meet someone from Tanjiazhuang?"
The two groups fought in groups outside the public kitchen before, and they are still full of hostility to each other.
Meeting each other like this today, Xu Ning was really worried that something would happen to both of them.
Commander Wei Changqing just mentioned in his congratulatory speech that he hopes everyone can support each other and reduce internal disputes.
It's only been a while, if the two groups get into a quarrel and it reaches Wei Changqing's ears, it's definitely not a good thing.
In front of the crowd, Tao Qingyuan's expression was not good.
Just now I saw the people from Tanjiazhuang from a distance, and they were still some distance away from the restaurant.
But after the other side found him, his pace accelerated significantly, and at the same time he and himself arrived in front of the restaurant.
Seeing the provocation that Tan Fengying and others couldn't conceal, Tao Qingyuan didn't want to provoke a dispute, he directly ignored the other party and walked into the restaurant.
"slow."
At this time, Tan Fengying took a quick step, and stretched out his hand to stop Tao Qingyuan.
"what are you going to do?"
Tao Qingyuan's tone was very calm, without annoyance.
On New Year's Day, he didn't want any conflict.
"We got there first, let's go first."
Tan Fengying stared into Tao Qingyuan's eyes and said directly.
Tao Qingyuan frowned, and he slightly turned his head to look at the Taojiazhuang people behind him.
At this time, they have gradually surrounded them, and the two sides are already confronting each other.
If you take the initiative to compromise at this time, although everyone understands that you are making concessions to avoid provocation, it will be inevitable that you will invisibly damage your prestige.
"The gate of the restaurant is so wide that people from two parties can enter at the same time without feeling crowded."
Tao Qingyuan was still restraining his emotions.
At this time, there were crowds around the entrance of the restaurant.
The waiter in the store, seeing this posture, stood at the door, not knowing what to say.
Although no one was wearing the uniform of the Black Armored Guard, but seeing Tao Qingyuan, Xiao Er knew the identities of both parties.
In this tense scene, the waiter didn't know how to persuade him to make peace.
"My feet stepped up this step first, and it should be us who advanced."
Tan Fengying did not accept the steps Tao Qingyuan gave, his hand was still in front of Tao Qingyuan.
Sure enough, Tao Qingyuan lost his patience.
Procrastinating like this will make you look weak.
He waved his hand directly and opened Tan Fengying's arm.
Seeing this, Tan Fengying frowned.
In fact, today's provocation is not entirely out of revenge for the last time.
It's just that after the last conflict, Tan Fengying felt that her influence in the Tanjiazhuang faction had been weakened a bit.
In addition, after performing their respective duties, their core position in the group has shown signs of weakening.
Taking this opportunity, Tan Fengying just wanted to re-establish her own prestige, she didn't necessarily want to compete with Tao Qingyuan, she only needed to have a slight conflict with him, and if she didn't lose the wind, she could consolidate her position in Tanjiazhuang's circle.
As for whether he will be at a disadvantage in the fight, Tan Fengying is not in the least bit wrong about this.
In the month of entering the Black Armor Guard, he practiced hard day and night, bought pills, and all kinds of coincidences by accident, and finally he practiced the source energy training formula to a small degree.
According to Tan Fengying's inquiries, among the leaders of various circles in the third camp, only herself has achieved this.
Then, just as Tao Qingyuan was about to step into the restaurant, Tan Fengying grabbed his sleeve.
Tao Qingyuan finally couldn't take it anymore.
He clenched his fists, and with one step back, he was about to make a move.
This move is in Tan Fengying's arms.
Both of them are in the realm of inner wealth, and I have a small success in body training with my own source of energy. If I fight with bare hands, I will definitely have the upper hand.
Tan Fengying immediately clenched her fists, ready to fight Tao Qingyuan.
Snapped!
At the moment when the two fists collided.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, it was Xu Ning.
At the moment when the faces of the fists came into contact, Xu Ning stretched out his hands and took the fists of Tao Qingyuan and Tan Fengying with his palms at the same time.
The huge impact of the Inner Prosperity Warrior's punch was forcefully dispelled by Xu Ning.
"Xu Ning?"
Tao Qingyuan felt his fist was blocked.
When he saw that the person who stopped was Xu Ning, his eyes froze.
Isn't Xu Ning in the muscle and bone realm? How could he block his attack with a punch
"Unless he has been promoted to the Inner Prosperity Realm, and he has also upgraded the source energy training method..."
Tao Qingyuan looked at Xu Ning's calm eyes and was a little startled for a while.
In just one month, Xu Ning was able to make such great progress.
Tan Fengying on the side, the storm in his heart was even more violent than Tao Qingyuan.
To be able to block one's full strength with one punch so easily, how strong is this person
At this time, Tan Fengying also recognized that Xu Ning was the opponent who beat him twice last time.
Last time, Tan Fengying only felt that this person was sinister, but now, Tan Fengying instantly raised Xu Ning's threat level to the same position as Tao Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, Brother Tan."
Xu Ning also ignored the gazes of others: "Today coincides with the New Year, and I'm afraid it will hurt peace if you do something. And Commander Wei said, I hope we can get along in harmony."
"To be able to celebrate the New Year in the same restaurant today is also a kind of fate, let's stop."
Tao Qingyuan and Tan Fengying looked at each other and closed their fists at the same time.
It's just that under the seemingly calm surface of the two, there are waves of inner turmoil.
Xu Ning noticed that both of them had withdrawn their strength, so he stopped staying and returned to behind Tao Qingyuan.
This time is different from the confrontation outside the public kitchen.
At that time, the third camp hadn't established rules, and Xu Ning's strength at that time was not enough to suppress the situation.
But this time, Xu Ning's strength has improved, and he has the qualifications to control the field.
Xu Ning didn't want Taojiazhuang to be blacklisted by Wei Changqing, and at the same time he didn't want to see a bloody conflict on the first day of the new year.
Moreover, Xu Ning also noticed the slight changes in Tan Fengying's breathing and muscles when he was exerting force, which made Xu Ning realize that Tan Fengying had already practiced the source breath exercise formula to a small degree.
In such a fight, Tao Qingyuan would definitely suffer.
The combination of various reasons contributed to Xu Ning's initiative to resolve this time.
"Xu Ning..."
At the end of the crowd, Tao Jin looked at Xu Ning's side face with complicated eyes.
After a long time, she lowered her eyes.
The emotions of both parties have also stabilized at this time.
"Brother Tan, happy new year."
Tao Qingyuan hugged Tan Fengying.
Tan Fengying glanced at Xu Ning in the crowd, and replied calmly: "Blessings."
"Please."
Tao Qingyuan flicked his sleeves.
"Please."
Tan Fengying responded.
This time, two teams entered the restaurant at the same time.
…
At this time, everyone had arrived at the private room that Tao Qingyuan had booked in advance.
As Tao Qingyuan said before, the room is full of tea, sweets, and a stove.
The private room is located on the second floor. Through the window, you can see the lion dance and other New Year activities on the street.
"Xu Ning."
After Tao Qingyuan greeted everyone, the first thing he did was to come to Xu Ning's side.
"Thank you for your relief just now."
Tao Qingyuan personally handed Xu Ning a cup of tea.
Xu Ning took it and thanked him: "It's serious, I just don't want to hurt everyone in the New Year. Now it's not like before, even if Captain Qu wants us to maintain vitality through internal competition, he doesn't want to see his own people produce extra Bloodshed."
"That's it..."
Tao Qingyuan listened and nodded in agreement.
"Xu Ning, I heard that Captain Qu has been looking for you twice recently."
After pondering for a moment, Tao Qingyuan asked tentatively.
The recent close contact between Xu Ning and Qu Dayou has been noticed by interested people in the camp.
But because Xu Ning didn't have a name before, he didn't pay much attention.
"Yes, it's all related to the errands in Fengliu Lane."
Xu Ning nodded, and didn't hide anything, he couldn't hide it.
"What about Dayuan Commercial Bank?"
Tao Qingyuan lowered his voice.
As the most talented among this group of newcomers, Tao Qingyuan was also valued by the captain of Yunshi Lane Weiyi, so he also learned about the struggle between Cai Qinghan and Qu Dayou and others.
"That's right."
Xu Ning also asked Tao Qingyuan to help find out about the Dayuan Commercial Bank before, so he didn't hide it: "From the beginning, we were destined to be Captain Qu's people. So there is no way, because of this, I was in Weiyi with other people. It’s not a good time to get along.”
"That's really troublesome..."
Tao Qingyuan silently nodded.
"Xu Ning..."
After weighing for a moment, Tao Qingyuan wanted to ask Xu Ning about his martial arts progress.
But when the words came to his lips, he held back again.
After all, this is someone else's privacy. Unless the other party actively shows or explains it, it is impolite to ask rashly.
"how?"
Xu Ning asked.
"nothing."
Tao Qingyuan raised his teacup: "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
Xu Ning clinked glasses with Tao Qingyuan.
"If Xu Ning's surname is Tao, maybe my position in Taojiazhuang belongs to him..."
Tao Qingyuan sighed inwardly.
But he didn't have any negative emotions of jealousy.
In Tao Qingyuan's personality, integrity still takes the first place.
After finishing speaking, Tao Qingyuan got up, walked towards the other companions, and greeted everyone one by one for the new year.
