"I don't remember what you said when you left," the fat man glared angrily, "If you don't come in the first class and don't come back in the second class, we thought you were killed?!"
Nanfeng could understand the fat man's mood. Even if he said it in a harsh way, he didn't blame him. He just smiled and didn't answer.
Zhuge Chanjuan didn't want to do it anymore, "It's an auspicious time for New Year's Eve. Why are you so good at talking?"
"You're not in a hurry, are you?" The fat man raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "Who was that person who was circling around the dinner table just now, as anxious as a donkey?"
Chu Huairou knew Zhuge Chanjuan's temper, and was afraid that she would spoil the atmosphere by scolding her back, so she hurriedly interjected, "It's good to be back. Come and take a seat."
Nanfeng smiled and nodded, but he was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, he opened his pocket, took out the contents, and distributed them to everyone.
"Where did the peaches come from in the middle of winter?" the fat man asked in confusion.
"I came back from heaven, so of course it came from heaven." Nanfeng stuffed one for him and gave it to Chu Huairou and others. Everyone accepted it, except Hou Shulin. He didn't accept it not because he didn't want it, but because he was ashamed. Due to his status, he did not dare to be on an equal footing with Chu Huairou, Yuan Anning and others.
"Just take it." The fat man glanced at Hou Shulin. "My eyes are as wide as cow's eggs. Why are you pretending?"
When the fat man said this, Hou Shulin just accepted it, but he was very frightened and thanked him again and again.
"Can you live forever if you eat this?" The fat man looked at Taozi.
"You can't live forever, but you can always extend your life." Nanfeng called everyone to sit down. The tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks had already been placed. Chu Huairou was the eldest and was promoted to the chief position. The rest of the people took their seats according to eldest and youngest. Hou Shulin Thinking that he was an outsider, he insisted not to sit at the same table with everyone. He greeted everyone for the New Year, said some festive words, and ran outside to wait.
Nanfeng shouted twice, but if he didn't come back, he let him go.
"This is a slave," the fat man scolded with a smile, "If I had a slave like this, I would also like it."
The fat man spoke loudly. Hou Shulin heard clearly from outside the door. Instead of being angry, he was happy and replied from outside, "Thank you, Third Master, for your compliment."
After a happy gathering, the fat man had no intention of talking to him, and looked at Nanfeng again, "Why are you back so late?"
"The time in heaven is different from the time on earth. There are some discrepancies in calculating the time back and forth." Nanfeng said casually.
"What have you been doing these days?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.
"I've dealt with some trivial matters. It's a long story. Let's eat first." Nanfeng said perfunctorily.
Seeing that Nan Feng had no intention of talking, Yuan An Ning got up and poured wine for everyone. Zhuge Chanjuan couldn't let Yuan An Ning do such a thing by herself, so she could only stop and get up and pour wine for Nan Feng and others with her.
There are always some rules for New Year's Eve dinner, drinks are poured, and the two sit down. Everyone looks at Chu Huairou, waiting for her to speak.
The things she has experienced and the environment she lives in will change a person invisibly. Chu Huairou was very cheerful in her early years, but many things that happened in these years have greatly changed her temper. When she saw a group of sworn brothers looking at her, she actually I was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before I stumbled and said, "Sister, I am useless. I failed to protect you and you have suffered a lot over the years."
As soon as Chu Huairou said this, everyone felt it. As Chu Huairou said, everyone has indeed experienced too many ups and downs and tribulations in these years. As the saying goes, you know your own suffering. I am afraid that only those who have experienced it personally can feel this. Only then can you truly experience it.
"Boss Chu, don't say that. It's because we failed to protect you," Lu Pingchuan said, then looked around at everyone, "It's not easy to survive in troubled times. At least we are still alive. As long as we are alive, there is always hope."
When Lu Pingchuan said this, he thought of the deceased Mo Li and Big Eyes. His eye circles turned red and he could not continue speaking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the fat man hurriedly defused it and diluted it, "What are you two doing? There are so many beggars in the world. How many of us can get into our job? What does it mean to be vigorous? This is what we call vigorous." At this point, he pointed to the mountains of gifts on the west side of the main hall, "Have you seen that now even the emperor has to give us gifts? Look at the food and drink we have, they are all the best. It's worth dying to be able to live like this." La."
"What's wrong with you tonight? Can you still speak human language?" Zhuge Chanjuan had a good personal relationship with the fat man, so she said something arrogant to choke him.
"It's not your turn to speak yet," the fat man glanced at Zhuge Chanjuan, then looked at Chang Le who was looking down, "it's your turn."
Changle did not speak immediately. He pondered for a long time under everyone's gaze before turning his head and looking at Nanfeng. "I have already discussed it with Boss Chu. I will fight on the eighth day of the lunar month."
"Let's discuss this matter later," Nanfeng raised his hand and turned to look at everyone, "Now I have the best fortune, but I have also caused the most trouble. I dare not say for sure, nor can I predict what will happen next, but I can't predict. Separation, parting, and the yin and yang of heaven, no one can change and escape. I am not happy to win, because we will be separated sooner or later, even if it is not the eighth day of the lunar month, it will be some time in the future. I am not sad to lose, just because we once depended on each other and shared weal and woe. No one can own it forever, and once you have it, you already have it.”
"I really don't want to say something unpleasant, but why did you act like you were giving your last words?" The fat man shook his head in confusion, "Don't you have any chance of winning?"
"There's always 50%," Nanfeng held up the wine glass, "Come, I hope we can still gather here at this time next year."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
The fat man put down his glass, "What have you been doing these days?"
"As I said before, some trivial matters have been dealt with." Nanfeng said.
"What are you doing in heaven?" Fatty asked.
"I brought back some drinking water from the Heaven Realm and walked around various places in the Heaven Realm." Nanfeng said lightly.
The fat man was naturally dissatisfied with such an answer and asked for details.
Seeing that Nanfeng didn't want to say more, Lu Pingchuan stopped the fat man from making noise and turned to Nanfeng and asked, "What else do we need?"
Nanfeng shook his head, "I have already done everything I need to do. Then you just need to accompany me to Yunhua Mountain."
The fat man interjected from the side, "We have helped you with the things you asked me and Changle to do. We have selected a few. Do you want to go over and meet them?"
"It doesn't hurt to pay a visit." Nanfeng said casually.
Hearing what Nanfeng said, the fat man pointed at Yuan Anning and said, "I told Yuan Anning all the clues. The flatterer also picked two and told her. Then you can ask her for them."
Nan Feng nodded.
His original intention was to have a happy New Year's Eve dinner, but everyone was worried about the bet on the eighth day of the lunar month, and naturally he was talking about something related to it. Since there were only seven days left before the bet, the emperors of the Three Kingdoms had already set off for Yunnan. In Huashan, there are three arbiters in each of the three realms. The emperor of the Three Kingdoms is the human arbiter selected by Nanfeng.
Before he returned, everyone had gathered together to sort out the previously selected people. Knowing that even if the Xuan Clan and Tian Clan were added, there would still be gaps in the participating species, they asked about the matter with concern, but Nanfeng He didn't go into details, just said, "I have my own arrangements."
The more Nanfeng didn't say anything, the more uneasy everyone became. Knowing that he didn't want to say anything, they could only ask questions one after another.
Nanfeng who can speak will naturally speak, and those who don't speak will naturally say it because they can't. In fact, he has been to many places and done many things these days, but these things he did are not all for Chuba's fighting skills. The so-called funeral arrangements are not the things that happen after the death, but the prevention and arrangements made around the various possibilities caused by the success or failure of the battle. What will happen if the other party wins. What if our side wins? In addition to these two possibilities, there is a third possibility, that is, what if one's side wins and the other side refuses to pay.
Seeing that Nanfeng had made up his mind and didn't want to say anything more, Lu Pingchuan and others no longer made things difficult for him. However, sometimes not saying anything could explain some problems. Nanfeng never mentioned Ah Yue and Yan Feixue who were related to Fatty and Lu Pingchuan. situation, which shows that he may have made some kind of response and arrangement for this.
The dinner ended at the fourth watch. Before leaving, Yuan Anning said two things to him. One was that the law of the three realms had been compiled, and the other was to remind him that Han Xin's Shuangling had already been obtained by Daluo Jinxian, who valued this person so much. There must be some unknown reason. Han Xin was good at commanding troops, so he needed to be careful of the opponent breaking the contract and sending troops after his own victory. You also need to be wary of the other party sending troops to purge the world after your own side is defeated.
Regarding Yuan Anning's words, Nanfeng just nodded and said nothing more.
The reason why Yuan Anning mentioned these two things at the banquet was because she had been following Nanfeng before, and Zhuge Chanjuan had not seen Nanfeng for a long time. Nanfeng should go to Zhuge Chanjuan tonight.
But what she didn't expect was that after the banquet, Nanfeng did not go to Zhuge Chanjuan's room, but returned to his own room, closed the door, and meditated alone...
