In a restaurant, several men were drinking and chatting.
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for a few years, right?" A man looked at the other three.
"It's been several years since we last met. I didn't expect that the family would let me go out and I would run into you guys." Shen Shiqi shook his head, smiled, looked at them and asked, "How have you been these years? Have you been in the family?"
"Alas! It brings back bitter tears."
Another person said, "Guess what happened when I was called back? Several elders actually threw me into a training camp. Tsk tsk, I was only there for one year. One year, I was almost skinned alive."
"After I returned, I was assigned to manage the family business. It was really boring to deal with a pile of account books all day long." Another person said, looking at Shen Shiqi, "What about you? I haven't heard much from you in the past few years!"
Shen Shiqi glanced at them and said, "You are all busy with your own things. Who has ever asked about me? Besides, didn't you expect to meet here this time?"
"hey-hey… "
The three of them looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. One of them said, "I followed you around all those years and got into a lot of trouble. So when I returned, the elders ordered me not to contact those bad friends of mine anymore, or I would be put in solitary confinement. So I had no choice. My family was keeping a close eye on me."
"All the same."
Another person also said: "My family also gave me such an order. They don't know your identities and thought you were some casual cultivators I met outside. But I thought, if we don't keep in touch, then we won't keep in touch. I guess we will be in similar situations after being caught. Anyway, we will have a chance to meet in the future. Look, we met by accident today, right?" As he said this, he laughed first.
"But let me make this clear first! Although we are friends, none of us will give up the treasures in this secret realm." Another man said, glancing at the three of them.
"Hehe, that's exactly what I meant." another person also said.
Shen Shiqi glanced at the three of them and smiled lazily: "Of course, we haven't seen each other for several years. It's a good opportunity to practice. What do you think?"
"Just practice, who's afraid of who?"
"That's right. Back then, our strengths were equal. But now, hey, Old Shen, I think I'm better than you."
"It's no use talking about it. We'll see what we can do when the time comes." Shen Shiqi said, and he glanced at them casually, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Look, it's the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Junyan."
"Huh? It's really him, with a little girl by his side! Is he here to visit the lantern festival with the little girl?"
The four people's eyes fell on Xiao Junyan and Yun Qi. They had met Xiao Junyan today, but they had never seen the girl.
"If we say that we have an opponent, then Xiao Junyan is definitely a big opponent who cannot be ignored. As far as I know, he is the most promising person among the younger generation of the Xiao family. Especially in the past few years, his reputation has gradually risen outside and he is in the limelight."
