The accident happened suddenly, and everyone was shocked!
Qiqi was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what happened.
I only heard Qianye's cold voice and said indifferently: "I'm a commoner, only level 4, so what? Don't you want to teach me a bastard from a slum? Then stand up and continue!"
The young man twitched his limbs and struggled several times to get up, but finally fell to the ground and passed out.
The martial arts in the empire is very strong, and duels in banquets are not uncommon. After the astonishment, the first ones who cheered were mostly young girls, their gazes were hot and bold, shining brightly. Most of the noble youths looked anxious, Qi Qila's hatred had not subsided when they entered the door, and now they heard that Qianye was just a commoner, and most of them felt offended.
Qianye raised his right arm, the overly tight dress was in the way, so he simply tore off the gemstone cufflinks and unbuttoned his shirt. Then he glanced at the few companions who were standing with the young man just now, and said coldly, "Who else is coming?"
Qiqi's eyes flashed brightly, as if she was looking forward to a good show. Yuan Zeyu shook his head and said nothing.
Those young people froze in place, looking anxiously at their fallen companions and at Qianye, not knowing what to do for a moment. The companion who was knocked down by one punch was a fifth-level soldier, not only the highest among them, but also the most powerful. The young people couldn't understand why the companion was defeated so quickly, but at least they knew that changing Going up by yourself is also free.
At this time, an angry voice sounded from the crowd on the south side of the hall, and a young nobleman shouted: "This is not a place where you, a mere fourth-level soldier, can be arrogant and reckless? If I teach you a lesson, I believe Miss Qiqi will also understand." of!"
Qianye raised his eyes and said bluntly, "Then come!"
The young man was furious, and took a big step forward, but was suddenly held down by a hand on his shoulder, unable to move anymore, he looked back, stunned: "Cousin?"
Appearing beside him was a slightly older noble youth who had a three-point similarity to his appearance. The latter first nodded to Qianye from afar, then turned his head and coldly reprimanded: "You have grown up, level six vs. four Grade? Hmph! Do you want to disgrace our Shen family?" After he finished speaking, he pulled the impulsive nobleman back into the crowd with his hands.
Qiqi upstairs whistled, and said: "Shen Rongan is really a fox! Although his clan brother is at the sixth level, if he really wants to end, he may not be able to win against my little Qianye!"
Yuan Zeyu nodded slowly and said: "The little guy you brought is extremely powerful, and it's really rare that his original force is so condensed. I'm afraid that if the general sixth-level fighters are a little careless, they really won't be his opponents. "
The hall below was completely cold.
The move of Shen Rong'an to walk away from his brother has poured cold water on many hot-headed noble youths who are eager to try.
Most of the people who can participate in the Banquet of the City Lord are not idiots. Just now Qianye's punch was violent and violent, and all the fifth-level soldiers were defeated by the blow. And the guy who fell to the ground is not the kind of parallel importer with no force. In this occasion where there are so many famous families, how can someone who has no self-confidence rashly stand up and provoke trouble
The fifth-level fighters no longer dare to leave the field, and if the sixth-level fighters end, it will be too embarrassing whether they win or lose.
Qiqi smiled and said: "Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry for messing up your banquet, I'll apologize to you another day!" Even though she said so, her face was full of joy, looking at the girl under the wall who had just been raped by her companion. They lift up the young man.
Yuan Zeyu smiled wryly, he also recognized that the person knocked unconscious by Qianye was Ye Mulan's cousin. It's a good thing that Ye Mulan has been left by Qiqi, otherwise, there will be another conflict, and the situation will be difficult to deal with.
A moment later, Qiqi left the venue early with Qianye. After getting into the silver car, Qiqi immediately happily asked the cause.
The matter was actually very simple. When everyone was unable to find out anything substantive from Qianye, this cousin of Ye Mulan suddenly appeared. He had obviously gotten the news from a certain channel, so he opened his mouth to ask Qianye if he was a civilian.
For Qianye, he didn't have to disclose his information, but he didn't intend to lie about it, so he admitted it frankly.
Ye Mulan's cousin immediately taunted Qianye mercilessly, saying that a poor man born in a slum can only rely on his face to make a living. I don't know how much Qiqi has been eaten by this fourth-level force. Only the medicine came.
Qianye felt that there was no need to talk to this kind of person, so he asked coldly, "Do you think you are strong?"
The young man who was a fifth-level soldier replied with a sneer: "Of course! Why, want to try a fight?"
"good."
Then Qianye pumped up his energy, gathered his strength, and punched, as heavy as a mountain, faster than lightning, and knocked the young man unconscious with one punch. If Qianye hadn't pulled back his strength in time, and didn't say hello to the vitals, just one punch would have put the young man on the brink of death.
Qianye said it very simply, but Qiqi obviously didn't listen enough, and continued to ask: "That's all? It must be more than that! You fought at the dinner party! What else did he say?"
Qianye smiled wryly: "He said... I'm a bastard who came out of a slum."
"This..." Kiki didn't understand. This is just an ordinary swearing word, why Qianye's reaction is so big.
Qianye was silent for a moment, and said, "I grew up in a garbage dump and never knew who my parents were."
The smile on Qiqi's face suddenly narrowed, and then gradually stretched, like a spring flower blooming, she said with a half-smile: "No matter how much you make me happy tonight, so there will be a reward. Close your eyes!"
Qianye closed his eyes for no apparent reason. Suddenly a fragrant wind hit the nose, and the left side of the face felt warm, soft and wet, and it was actually kissed!
This episode of the return trip was quickly forgotten by Qianye. This eldest lady, who has a different personality, hobbies and orientation than ordinary people, no matter what she does now, she no longer surprises him.
For a young lady of her status, everything is too easy to come by, so in pursuit of excitement, she often has eccentricities of one kind or another. However, Qianye felt that her personal hobbies had nothing to do with him, all he needed to do was to complete the task well and be worthy of the generous reward he received.
It took Qianye four days to complete the basic etiquette training in advance, and there were no new instructions from Qiqi, so he divided his daily schedule into two categories: training and battlefield analysis.
In the following days, Qianye used up all the potions, but there was still a long way to go before reaching the fifth level. During this period, Qianye saw Qiqi only once, and she suddenly asked if he still needed the potion. I don't know if he noticed that he had used enough doses but did not ignite new force nodes, or just mentioned it casually. But Qianye refused, he didn't want to get too much that he didn't deserve.
During the non-cultivation time, Qianye kept checking the information, and soon had a general understanding of the area around Xichang City.
It was approaching noon that day, and Ji Yuanjia came to Qianye's residence and invited him out for lunch.
Qianye happened to also want to know more about Qiqi's assessment mission, because he had already started planning to go to the battlefield, so he readily agreed to follow Ji Yuanjia to the "Tongque Terrace" restaurant in the city.
This is a magnificent retro building with a height of ten feet and five floors built on top of the platform. The window edges and door rails are decorated with brass inlays. When the sun is at its peak at noon, the streamer shines.
The two sides of the high platform are wide enough to land small airships. Under the platform, the river water is diverted to the Tianchi on the roof of the building through a dark passage, and then released from the side wall at high altitude, creating a spectacular scene of waterfalls splashing jade. It is said that the chef and many ingredients of this restaurant were shipped from the upper continent, and the price is even more expensive than the upper continent.
Ji Yuanjia parked the off-road vehicle, walked towards the gate with Qianye, and said with a smile: "This is the quality of the real upper continent, and of course the price is also. So you can't let go of it for a while, otherwise I will eat it." will not be able to pay the bill."
Qianye smiled slightly, feeling a little more fond of Ji Yuanjia, he likes dealing with straightforward people.
The two chose a seat by the window and sat down, the waterfall was right in front of them. Due to the good sound insulation design, there is only a little rumble that seems to come from far away, which not only creates an artistic conception, but also does not affect the conversation of guests.
After the waiter delivered the menu, Qianye flipped through it and knew exactly how expensive this place was. Even the cheapest dish cost a gold coin, while the expensive ones cost three digits. In other words, half a year's salary of a lieutenant colonel would be gone if he ordered a big dish.
Qianye only ordered the two cheapest dishes, and put down the menu, but Ji Yuanjia was actually much more generous than he said, adding three or four special dishes from restaurants. This meal must have cost him a month's salary.
When the food was served, Qianye experienced the quality of the upper continent. The amount of dishes is unbelievably small, but also unbelievably delicate.
The main course is a fish, but it is made into a dragon head, and the plate is decorated with a sea of clouds. This is a genuine hand-painted map of the sea of clouds, with an ink painting style, even a guy like Qianye who doesn't know how to paint can see the extraordinary momentum of the layout and strokes. For that alone, the plate was decorated by an accomplished painter.
"How do you feel?" Ji Yuanjia asked with a smile.
"I think the decorations on the plate are more expensive than the dishes." Qianye said truthfully.
Ji Yuanjia said with a smile: "It's the same as my initial thought, but I realized later that the dishes are actually more expensive."
Qianye looked at the dishes that looked like calligraphy and painting, and smiled wryly: "Now I know why I can't let go. This little thing is not enough to make a foundation."
Ji Yuanjia laughed even more happily, and said: "For us, the meaning of coming to this place is just to experience it. What you have eaten is more important than how you eat it. At least in the future, you will not be embarrassed because you don't know anything. Being laughed at."
"Why are you being laughed at?" Qianye was a little puzzled.
Ji Yuanjia said with a little self-mockery: "Because I am from a poor family, and you are a commoner. Although the poor family is a little better than the commoner, in the eyes of the gentry, we are all the same. For those gentry, the evaluation of a person The standard is very simple: those above and those below. Those above need to curry favor, and those below are inferior to them. Therefore, in their eyes, there is no difference between the poor and the poor, because we are all inferior to the gentry.”
This is a very powerful logic, which opened Qianye's horizon quite a bit.
"Do you know why I invited you here for dinner?"
"Why?"
"Because at the banquet that day, that punch of yours was so fucking relieving!" Ji Yuanjia, who is always gentle and refined, also swears a rare swear word.
"That person has a grudge against you?" Qianye asked suspiciously.
Ji Yuanjia heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "There's no such thing as hatred. You'll understand how disgusting those people are in the future. Come on, do it first!"
The two of you came and went, and quickly drank a bottle of wine. Qianye's face was slightly red, and his movements were obviously a little slow, while Ji Yuanjia's face also flushed, it seems that his alcohol capacity is not particularly good.
Ji Yuanjia shook the empty wine bottle and shouted, "Two more bottles!"
The waiter quickly brought it over. The rice wine here is really good, and what's more rare is that the price is not expensive. The price of one gold coin per bottle is simply too reasonable in this place.
"Qianye, do you have a woman?" Ji Yuanjia asked suddenly.
"No, why?" Qianye asked inexplicably.
"Ah, nothing. I was just asking."
Ji Yuanjia casually brushed it off. He originally wanted to introduce some girls he knew well to Qianye. As Qiqi's real adjutant, he certainly knew that Qianye's lover's identity was fake.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the unusually obvious lip marks on Qianye's cheek when he got off the car on the night he returned to the Yin's courtyard from the banquet. The light blue to purple color is Qiqi's favorite special color, and Ji Yuanjia will never admit it wrong.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a slight twitch and pain in his heart, he immediately suppressed this little bit of unhappiness, and threw that lip print to the corner of his heart.
However, he is also a little more sober. Although Qiqi may just find a new toy temporarily and will throw it away after a while, Ji Yuanjia will not introduce girls to Qianye when her novelty has not faded. stupid thing.
Qianye looked at Ji Yuanjia in a strange way and suddenly started to lose his mind.
"Qianye, Miss Qiqi is the most cherished kind of woman. If there is a chance, it is worth fighting for. Do you understand what I mean?" Ji Yuanjia said this time very straightforwardly.
Qianye frowned slightly, and said, "This is just a task for me. Besides, the status gap between me and her is really too big, there is no possibility."
"Are you the kind of person who cares about the status gap?"
"Yes." Qianye smiled.
Ji Yuanjia shrugged. If Qianye cared about his status, he wouldn't have punched that noble boy in the face at the dinner party. It's just that for many people, Qi Dafei is a threshold that cannot be crossed, and he himself is not the same.
"Aha! Guess who I saw? Isn't this Miss Qiqi's new pet?" A strange voice came from the side.
