"Oh my god, isn't this Tan Tai Xiu?"
"Why is he here to join in the fun?"
"You brought these female cultivators here again. I'm so...envious."
"Who is this female cultivator to him? Could it be..."
"Bah, you scumbag!"
…
In front of the Silver Tower, there was already a crowd of people from all walks of life who came to watch the fun. A "special person" like Tan Tai Xiu was particularly famous and "interesting" in the Tomorrow Star Sea. Many people knew him, and even more knew him.
As soon as he appeared, the discussion around him suddenly became heated.
Countless people's eyes fell on him, and also on the female cultivators following behind him. Some showed contempt on their faces, while others looked at them with envy.
In the blink of an eye, where he was had become the center of the hurricane.
However, this is a piece of cake for Tan Tai Xiu.
Being watched by so many eyes, he didn't care at all. His highly recognizable dark silver pupils only stared at Jianchou in front of him, smiling elegantly and gracefully: "Fairy, you won't forget me, right?"
"… "
This person…
Jianchou's mind instantly flashed back to the scenes of himself being approached when he first entered the sea of stars. Naturally, he also remembered the name of the man in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Tan Tai Xiu, the "nobleman" of tomorrow's Xinghai.
The legendary furnace physique, so he has "three thousand beauties". Zhilinsou described him as an elegant man in "Rixin", but judging from his life experience, he is definitely not a good person.
She only met this person once.
But to say "I don't remember" was of course an exaggeration. In fact, she not only remembered him, but she was also impressed by him because she kept seeing his news when she watched "Zhilinsou Rixin" in recent days.
Hearing the other party's question, Jianchou's eyes flickered slightly.
She looked at the crowd around her, and then at the many female cultivators behind him. These female cultivators followed Tan Tai Xiu and were looking at her at the moment, some with curiosity, some with scrutiny, and some with vigilance and hostility...
Did they misunderstand something
Jianchou silently withdrew his gaze, looking relatively calm. He only smiled back at Tan Tai Xiu: "Although I only met Master Tan Tai once, your name is so famous that how dare I not remember you?"
"Hahaha, fairy, you are making fun of me." Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Xiu couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed, "When we met once that day, I felt that I was really compatible with you. It's a pity that we met by chance and had no chance to get to know each other. I really regret it. I didn't expect that we could meet today. It's fate. Fairy, are you here for that Zuo Liu?"
Left Flow…
Jianchou's eyelids jumped when he heard this, but he didn't show any flaws on his face. He shook his head and said, "I am a nobody. I came here today just because I heard about this grand event, so I came to the Silver Building to see the excitement."
"Oh, is that so..."
Tan Tai Xiu raised his right hand and gently supported his perfect jaw. He seemed to think for a moment, then smiled at Jian Chou.
"Then I wonder if I would be honored today to invite the fairy to go with me to the Silver Tower and watch the situation?"
Invite her to go with you
Jianchou was slightly stunned, his mind started to work in an instant, but he did not answer immediately.
On the contrary, it was Tan Tai Xiu who seemed to be afraid that Jian Chou would not agree, and added two more sentences: "I have been in Xinghai for quite some time. If a person like the fairy had been in Xinghai for a long time, it would be unreasonable for her to be unknown. I think the fairy should be a newcomer and not familiar with Xinghai, so I am recommending myself. I hope the fairy does not mind..."
mind
How could I possibly mind
At this moment, Jianchou almost laughed out loud: someone sent a pillow just when I was sleepy! "An unexpected surprise", it was indeed an "unexpected surprise".
It was mentioned in Zhilinsou Rixin that Tantai Xiu seemed to have a special liking for beautiful female cultivators. But when she saw it, she didn't think that she would become Tantai Xiu's "target" one day, and naturally she didn't think that his "habit" would bring her convenience.
Just as Tan Tai Xiu said, she had just arrived and did not know enough about Tomorrow's Star Sea.
Not to mention today's incident, which involves the interests of many parties and is many times more complicated than the simple "hanging price" on the surface.
Regardless of Tan Tai Xiu's reputation, just in terms of information, he is definitely a hundred times better than himself.
If there really is such a host who is willing to take her into the Silver Building, wouldn’t that be perfect
As for what would happen after entering, whether there would be any safety issues, Jianchou was not too worried. In a sense, coming to the Silver Building was already very risky, and the rest was just a matter of seeing things through.
In just a moment, all the interests were sorted out in his mind.
Jianchou certainly had no reason to reject Tan Tai Xiu. She just lowered her eyes, seemed to think for a while, and then smiled and said, "… Well, since Master Tan Tai has said so, it is hard to refuse such kindness, so I will trouble you."
She agreed!
Tan Tai Xiu was actually a little surprised, but he was soon replaced by surprise: "Haha, it's just a piece of cake, just a piece of cake. It's getting late, let's go in first."
After saying that, he waved his hand and led the way.
Jianchou did not refute and followed. But soon, she found that the group of female cultivators who had followed Tan Taixiu did not catch up with her. Instead, they turned over and flew away in the blink of an eye.
"They..."
Jianchou couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Tan Tai Xiu didn't react, he just explained: "Fairy, you should have heard that I have a special physique. These sisters had a close relationship with me before, and they were originally escorting me all the way here. But now we have arrived at the Silver Tower, where there are thirty-six layers of formations stacked one on top of another, and the silver stones used to build the tower are even more difficult to break. Even if a Daluo Jinxian came, he would not try, so it is considered safe. So, they left now."
elder sister…
This name.
After hearing this, Jianchou almost choked and fell down, but seeing that Tan Tai Xiu looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and there were so many eyes watching them around, it was inconvenient for her to ask any more questions.
As the saying goes, there are many eyes when there are too many people around, so Jianchou still wants to keep a low profile at the moment.
So, she suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and just followed Tan Tai Xiu forward, and soon they arrived at the door of the Silver Building.
The tall and ancient gate is built right in front of you.
The eaves on both sides stretched out to the boundless sky. Passing through this door, there was a wide road paved with bluestone slabs, leading to the Silver Building at the end.
The gate tower is the dividing line between the street outside and the Silver Building.
Just to enter the building, you have to go further inside.
At this moment, there was already a group of low-level female monks wearing light green long sleeves standing on both sides of the gatehouse, and in front of them was a middle-aged monk in a long gown, looking steady.
This man's face looked slightly fat, giving people a kind and honest feeling, but because his eyes were too small, he also looked mercenary and shrewd. When he saw Tan Tai Xiu coming over, he was shocked and hurried to greet him.
"Master Tantai has come to visit us. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"
"Forget it."
Tan Tai Xiu seemed to recognize this person. He simply waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"The Silver House has been offering a high price for a long time but no good product has come out. Today, they are suddenly offering a left-flow item. I am afraid it will stir up trouble again. Chief Steward, the invitation has been sent to me. How can I not come?"
"You are joking."
Tan Tai Xiu's words were actually very polite, but after hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator inexplicably broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his head and even felt a little uneasy.
"You are here today, and the Silver Tower is very prosperous. The highest seat is ready for you. Please follow me."
In the pair of dark silver pupils, there was a hint of undisguised mockery.
Tan Tai Xiu stared at the middle-aged cultivator in front of him, and finally did not say anything. He just walked forward with ease, as if he was very familiar with the Silver Building. He ignored the other party's guidance and walked straight forward.
But he was talking to Jianchou.
"I've been to this Silver Building many times."
"This building was built more than 300 years ago and was originally a fighting ground. Fairy should also know that there are all kinds of people in the Tomorrow Star Sea, and there are often people who like to compete with each other or watch people fight. So this place was built to allow monks to fight each other, and also to provide a place for interested monks to watch and benefit from it."
“But after the night boat arrived, it changed the Silver Building and turned the fighting venue into a price-hanging venue.”
Jianchou took a look and saw that the chief steward of the Silver Building just kept walking without saying a word, as if he was very afraid of Tan Tai Xiu.
It seems that there is something between Tan Tai Xiu and Baiyin Lou.
She didn't want to speculate, so she just looked in the direction Tan Tai Xiu pointed.
When I looked at it from a distance, I felt that the building was like a piece of silver snow. Now that I was getting closer, this feeling not only did not dissipate, but became stronger.
The silver stone of the building, illuminated by the skylight, flows with brilliance and looks like a fantasy.
It looks like a pearl placed on the sea of tomorrow's stars. It is so bright that it is impossible to ignore its existence.
only…
“Isn’t it beautiful?”
When they arrived in front of the building, Tan Tai Xiu stopped and asked Jianchou with a sigh.
Jianchou was silent for a moment. The only things that came to her mind were those words that Taoist Zhou Jun of Duobao had vaguely mentioned to her in the past: arresting people and imprisoning them, putting a price on silver shops, selling them as slaves, making them into puppets...
“It’s really beautiful…”
But how much blood and filth is hidden behind such beauty
Thinking about it, it’s a bit nauseating.
Jianchou lowered his eyes silently, hiding all his emotions.
Tan Tai Xiu didn't notice it either. His eyes were still on the building, and there was a hint of memories flowing in his dark silver pupils.
Hanging price Hanging price…
Thinking back, he was also the one who was offered a high price.
"Silver Building..."
Muttering something, Tan Tai Xiu glanced at the middle-aged cultivator next to him, and saw that the veins on the other's forehead were about to pop out. Then he smiled with satisfaction and went in with Jian Chou.
Compared with the overly dazzling exterior, the decoration inside the Silver Building finally looks a bit more simple and charming.
There were eighteen snow-white columns standing in the lobby on the ground floor, and there was a teleportation array under each of them. At this moment, only a small number of monks were led into the array by the green-skirted female monks, and then disappeared.
The middle-aged cultivator had said before that the place arranged for Tan Tai Xiu was on the top floor. At this moment, he took out a special jade array talisman, walked to the rightmost column, invited Tan Tai Xiu and Jian Chou to enter, and activated the array.
After a moment of slight dizziness, a quiet corridor appeared before my eyes.
The wooden floor beneath your feet exudes a unique fragrance.
On the left hand side, there is a window every two meters. Looking through, you can see floating clouds and a clear blue sky. On the right hand side, there are separate rooms one after another, named after the eight trigrams and the five elements, "Gen Mountain", "Dui Ze", "Kan Water", "Li Fire"...
"This is… "
Jianchou vaguely felt that they should have reached the top of the Silver Building at this moment, but he didn't know which floor they were on.
The middle-aged monk quickly replied, "When the Silver Tower places an offer, it is customary to raise the platform across the river to the highest point, and the guests are received on the upper three floors. This time, we have arranged for Master Tantai to stay in the Fire Room on the top floor. The list of offers has been delivered to the room, and someone will be here to serve you in a few moments. If you two have any instructions, just ask them."
"Okay, I won't bother you here, Chief Steward. Go away."
Tan Tai Xiu seemed a little impatient. He spoke lightly but there was still a smile in his voice.
The middle-aged monk shuddered again, his face turned even darker and uglier, but he finally left in disgrace, looking a bit angry but unable to speak.
Jianchou looked at him and had some thoughts in his mind.
Tan Tai Xiu turned his head and saw her like this, with a faint light flickering in his eyes. He asked with some doubt: "Fairy, aren't you curious about what happened between him and me?"
"I'm curious. But..." Jianchou paused and looked back at him, "Actually, I'm more curious about why Master Tantai likes me so much and invites me so warmly."
When Tan Tai Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jian Chou with a strange and ambiguous look in his eyes: "Has the fairy never heard of this?"
"What did you hear?" Jianchou was puzzled.
"Hahaha… "
Tan Tai Xiu couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed. He looked at Jianchou for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head, as if he felt there was no need to say it.
"It's nothing, I just feel that I have a good relationship with the fairy. I really liked her the first time I saw her."
"… "
Needless to say, this statement is a lie.
But Jianchou felt that Tan Tai Xiu seemed to have some interesting ideas and didn't seem to have any bad intentions, so he didn't investigate further and just smiled: "I think what you said is true."
"Of course it's true."
Tan Tai Xiu laughed even harder, and just walked forward along the corridor, still ahead of the fire. But he suddenly remembered something as his thoughts turned.
"Come to think of it, the fairy didn't tell me her name last time. I wonder if I can hear it this time?"
Asking for your name again.
Jianchou paused for a moment as he was moving forward. At this moment, he was afraid that he couldn't say the word "Jianchou" out loud, for fear of causing trouble.
But, should we come up with a name
Her mind was turning, and she was about to bring out the pseudonym "Wu Chou" to deal with it, but as soon as she raised her head, a dark gray figure in front of her came into her sight.
Wearing a dark grey robe, he looks relaxed and at ease.
Walking on the corridor on the top floor of the Silver Building feels like strolling in the mountains. From the posture to the charm, there is a sense of solitude.
At this moment, Jianchou stopped walking.
Wang Que was walking in front. He had obviously seen Jianchou earlier and was a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment. But when he saw Tan Taixiu standing next to her, his brows slowly knitted.
"There are always encounters in this world, and I see my fellow Taoists again."
Jianchou was concerned about Wang Que's identity and did not say hello first. Wang Que was casual and natural, not caring about it, and nodded to her actively.
Tan Tai Xiu was standing nearby, and the moment he saw Wang Que and sensed his cultivation level, his pupils shrank.
But what followed was surprise.
Jianchou, who was standing next to him, seemed to know this person
Tan Tai Xiu said nothing, just watched quietly.
Seeing the sorrow, his heart was slightly depressed.
Meeting Wang Que here was not particularly bad news, but it was not good news either. She was just a greeting from him, so she was not rude and smiled back, "It seems that Zuo Liu's affairs have indeed affected all parties. Since Fellow Daoist Wang is here, your sect is probably almost certain to win."
If you call him "Friend Wang", no one will know that this is Wang Que.
If she says "your sect", no one will know that she is talking about Kunwu.
Wang could naturally hear the restraint and mystery in Jianchou's words, and at the same time he also felt extremely uncomfortable: I am in the dark, and others are in the light. This female cultivator knows his identity, but he knows almost nothing about this female cultivator...
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. This time, even the Southeastern Wild Demon Sect and the Southwestern Aristocratic Families have many talented people coming. I am only here to join in the fun. I have no ulterior motives, so there is no such thing as a 'sure win'. On the contrary, fellow Daoist..."
Wang paused for a moment, his eyes swept from Tan Tai Xiu, then back to Jian Chou, and he smiled slightly.
"A few days ago, I asked you your name, and you just said that you would know it in a few days. Judging from the situation, it should be today."
"… "
She did say that.
At this moment, Jianchou raised his head silently, and when their eyes met, he saw the strange wisdom hidden in Wang Que's pair of penetrating eyes.
Today
