Last night, Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei had popularized the information about the Third Elder and the Second Elder. When talking about the Third Elder, they could still mention her definite advantages such as good lightness kung fu and deadly silkworm silk, but when it came to the Second Elder, Ji Mingxiu did not I only said a few words to Qiao Wei - don't fight hard, run away if you can't fight.
It can be seen that even Ji Mingxiu thinks that Qiao Wei has no chance of winning.
Qiao Wei has won several games in a row, her voice is getting louder, and her heart is a little bit flustered. Although she also understands that a large part of herself is not relying on actual force, but it doesn't matter whether it is a black or white cat, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. She can defeat so many elders, which in itself shows that she is a super little monster-fighting expert who combines intelligence and strength, so the second elder, come here!
Qiao Wei smiled wickedly and snapped her fingers.
The Second Elder did not fly up like the previous elders. He walked up to the stage calmly, with slow steps and a majestic expression. Under a powerful coercion, when he stood in the center of the stage, the surrounding venues were also shrouded by his powerful coercion. The disciples were silent one by one, opened their eyes wide, and looked at him in awe and anxiety. people on stage.
Qiao Wei pinched her fingers, and then she paused, as if an invisible wind in the air was blowing towards her faintly, hitting her face door, crackling.
She blinked her eyes and stared blankly at the elder.
Although she doesn't want to admit it, she really feels like a mouse seeing a cat at this moment, saying "don't carry it hard, run if you can't beat it", she wants to run now!
The toes are weakly aimed at the edge of the table, ready to slip away at any time! But suddenly, her feet couldn't move as if they had been filled with lead.
What's the situation
Why can't she lift her feet
In the eyes of everyone, this move was an act of bravery and fearlessness. The Second Elder's aura was so strong that they were scared to death, but this woman was able to remain motionless. It can be seen that she is really... daring!
Qiao Wei grabbed her trousers and tried her best to pull her feet up. She couldn't pull them out for a long time. She glanced at the second elder not far away with sweat dripping down her cheeks. By the way, you know, she is a super runner who can walk like flying on the grass with six black sand bags tied. What the master trains is her leg strength and foot strength. Once she loses them, she is really vulnerable paper tiger.
"You you you...you wait! I call a timeout! You are not allowed to sneak attack!"
The second elder looked at her in place.
Qiao Wei wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked in a low voice, "What did you do to me? Did you use some kind of magic? Or did you poison me?"
The second elder's expression didn't change at all, he looked at Qiao Wei like a small ant.
Qiao Wei felt terrified after being watched, and suddenly regretted going on stage. I knew this guy's strength was so perverted, and she wouldn't play if she was killed. Now it's all right, she can't even use the escape method, really I'm going to die on this stage...
The second elder drew a complex seal with both hands, pointed his toes, and patted Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei couldn't even move her legs, she couldn't escape, if she was going to die... just hurry up!
"I throw west—ah—"
Only halfway through the word Jiang, Qiao Wei's throat suddenly became silent. She covered her throat and stuck out her tongue, trying to force out a sound, but there was no word. The figure of the second elder was getting closer and closer. She was so close that she could already see the fine hairs on his face, and before she could speak, her right hand suddenly moved, and she slapped the Second Elder's arm away.
Qiao Wei blinked incredulously, what happened just now? What happened
Before she could figure out why, her body flew towards the second elder uncontrollably.
What are you flying? Hurry up and run away!
Qiao Wei really suspected that she was bewitched, she tried her best to resist the force, wanted to stop her steps, wanted to put down the hand that showed the big move, but everything didn't obey her orders, she seemed to be possessed by a peerless master body, left somersault, right somersault, uppercut, kick kick, every move, fierce and domineering, so fast that she can't believe it.
She swears that she has never learned these things, not even in her dreams!
The disciples looked dumbfounded, saying that laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. The group of disciples who are not skilled in the audience looked at Qiao Wei, and only felt that she was faster and more capable than before, but the big disciples on the stage were in the same direction. It's a little strange.
The Eighth Junior Brother scratched his head and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, when did she become so powerful? She's just... totally different from just now!"
Don't they look like two different people? Fighting the Third Elder can be regarded as her real start to flex her muscles, but none of those moves are serious moves, they are more like a close combat, but this time it is different, in the moves she just played, there are clearly It is even more strange that the two-stroke Suxinzong's martial arts methods are used.
When did she secretly learn Suxinzong's martial arts? And why didn't you use it before? If she had used these two tricks when fighting against the third elder, she would have knocked the third elder off the duel ring long ago, and she would not have to be chased and killed by the third elder for a long time.
Thoughts flashed, Fifth Senior Brother frowned slightly: "Did she see anyone when she was resting just now?"
Eighth Junior Brother snorted and said: "I just saw Second Senior Sister went to the shed, I don't know if I should look for her."
When in the capital, the second senior sister injured Qiao Wei, and Qiao Wei shot through the second senior sister. The two of them had a big knot. She went to find Qiao Wei, and probably nothing good happened, let alone even if she wanted to teach Qiao Wei martial arts , she will not know these two tricks.
The fifth senior brother saw that Qiao Wei used two moves of Suxinzong's kung fu, but he didn't know that all the moves that Qiao Wei used at this time were all the moves of Suxinzong, but the disciples hadn't learned it yet. The fifth senior brother saw Xu Yongqing practicing it by chance. After two moves, he recognized those two moves. Xu Yongqing, who knew this set of palms like the back of his hand, looked at it from beginning to end, and his brows were twisted into the word Chuan.
How did she understand the most profound palm technique of Suxinzong
If it weren't for this set of palm techniques that only the suzerain and the elders could practice, he might have suspected that it was Ji Mingxiu who had passed on the Kung Fu of the Suxin sect privately.
Qiao Wei and the second elder fought hard on stage, and the spectators feasted their eyes and applauded.
Amidst the applause, Qiao Wei launched a final attack on the second elder. She took a few steps to run up, stepped on the wall, took a few steps on the wall, flipped somersault, and slashed down on the second elder.
The place where the second elder was standing was already close to the edge, and after receiving a heavy palm from her, he slipped on the sole of his foot and fell off the dueling platform.
This time, Qiao Wei won again.
There was thunderous applause from below.
The leader uttered a wow: "When did the dominatrix become so powerful?"
He doesn't know martial arts, but he hasn't eaten pork. Haven't he seen pigs running? The dominatrix was obviously not the opponent of the Second Elder, but she defeated the Second Elder in a beautiful and standard manner with every move.
Those tricks... don't look like a hag can do it at all!
The two elders have been challenged today, and the duel is over.
Xu Yongqing frowned suspiciously and walked off the stands.
Qiao Wei waved at Ji Mingxiu. Ji Mingxiu nodded slightly, glanced at the figure behind the bead curtain opposite, and walked down from the stands with a calm expression.
Amid the cheers of a group of disciples, Ji Mingxiu took Qiao Wei and the three little guys away from the scene and returned to the other courtyard.
The three little guys rushed into the yard, picked up the "knives and guns", and started a duel. Of course, the result was that Jing Yun and Brother Liu were completely abused by Wang Shu.
Qiao Wei sat on the chair, looking at her hands over and over again.
Ji Mingxiu asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Wei wondered: "You may not believe it, those moves just now... I didn't use them, I obviously couldn't move anymore, my body didn't listen at all, turning up for a while, turning down for a while, thanks to my good physical fitness, I can't change it. Others have already vomited!"
Ji Mingxiu was skeptical at first, but listening to Qiao Wei's words confirmed his guess. Martial arts in the world are ever-changing, but no matter how they change, it is impossible to create something from nothing. Take Qiao Wei's training as an example. It's not that she has some background, no matter how hard Mr. Huo trains her, it won't help.
"Do you think I'm bewitched?" Qiao Wei asked with her eyes wide open.
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly and said: "You are not bewitched, you are just controlled by the second elder with internal force. When a person's internal force reaches the peak, he can use internal force to entangle the other party so that the other party cannot move, or Move according to the way he wants, it turns out that the skill of the second elder has already reached such a level."
Speaking of this, Ji Mingxiu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "Tell me, if he meets my mother, who is stronger?"
Ji Mingxiu was amused by her, and he didn't know how to pick up the slap: "You only know when you match." Seeing Qiao Wei's face darkened, he hurriedly added, "But mother is so powerful, it's considered a match." It will definitely beat the second elder to pieces."
Qiao Wei and You Rong said, "That's right! That's my mother!"
Thinking of something, Qiao Wei asked inexplicably, "Why did the second elder let me beat him on purpose?"
Ji Mingxiu looked towards the yard: "There will be an answer soon."
…
But Xu Yongqing went to look for the second elder immediately after he got off the stand, but the second elder had already left the scene before him, so he hurried to the second elder's yard, wanting to ask the second elder face to face, what is the duel today? Situation, why does he feel strange
Just when Xu Yongqing walked halfway, the little junior sister came to kill him from the fork: "Father!"
Xu Yongqing paused, glanced at her, and said indifferently because he had something to worry about: "What's the matter? Didn't you tell you to stay in the yard and not come out?"
The little junior sister complained: "You have people lock me in the yard all day long, I'm so bored! I can bear it all, even if you don't let me watch the duel, I can bear it too! But I heard... The personal disciple is here! You...you have already decided to marry me?"
Xu Yongqing was so focused on the duel that he didn't pay much attention to it. Just now, he saw a graceful man walking towards the elder's platform. Afterwards, Fu Xueyan also passed by. Could it be... is that person Fu Xueyan's elder brother
"Father! I'm talking to you! Did you hear that?" Seeing that her father was silent, the little junior sister stomped her feet anxiously.
Xu Yongqing regained his composure, and comforted her: "We'll talk about this matter later, you go back to the yard first, Dad has something else to do."
"What's your business?" Little Junior Sister hugged his arm, not letting him go.
Impatient and helpless, Xu Yongqing sighed and said, "I'm looking for the second elder."
The little junior sister Huarong turned pale: "You go to the elder? Are you really going to settle my marriage? Didn't the senior brother and the senior sister-in-law say that they would not let me marry? How could this be? You two talk to each other It doesn't matter!"
Xu Yongqing frowned and said, "Stop making trouble, Liyue!"
The little junior sister refused to let go: "Is it me who is making trouble? It is obvious that you have joined forces to bully me! You insist on marrying me to a man who has never been masked. You are my own father, how can you disregard my life and death?" ?”
Xu Yongqing thought about the appearance of that son just now, and he was no worse than Ji Mingxiu. He had some concerns at first, but if it was really him, then there was nothing to worry about: "Father is also an elder. Hello, the one chosen for you is one in a million, and when you meet him, you will like him."
The little junior sister hummed: "I won't! They all say that the fourth senior brother wants to marry the fourth senior brother, but I don't want to. I don't even like the fourth senior brother. Who else can I like?"
"This is different!" Xu Yongqing said.
When Mingxiu first came to Suxin Sect, how old was Liyue, and he was a senior brother and sister, so how could he have thoughts that he shouldn't have
The younger junior sister refused to obey her life and death, so Xu Yongqing had to promise not to marry her. Xu Yongqing was anxious to find the second elder, and replied vaguely "I'll consider it", and the younger junior sister let go with a smile.
After Xu Yongqing left, the younger junior sister happily went back to her yard. Suddenly, a low and magnetic voice stopped her: "Girl, you dropped something."
Little Junior Sister blinked her eyes and turned around, looking at the other party, she was stunned after just one glance.
She didn't know how to describe this man, but he... is definitely the man with the most unique temperament she has ever seen. He is about the same height as the fourth senior brother, and seems to be thinner than the fourth senior brother. He wears an azure cloak. Like a crown jade, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, his eyes are as warm as the sun in the sky, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, and there is a decent and gentle smile.
"Girl." He handed the things in his hands forward.
The little junior sister took the things in a daze, without taking her eyes off his face for a moment.
He smiled: "Girl, don't you see if there is anything missing in your purse?"
"No less." The little junior sister looked at him blankly and said.
He lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head again, looked at the little junior sister, and said softly and softly: "Since there is no shortage, then I will take my leave first."
Junior Sister stared at him blankly, he turned around, and Junior Sister felt that even his back was warm.
"Miss! You are here! You scared me to death!" A little maid ran over panting, "You disappeared in a blink of an eye, Madam was frightened, let everyone go out to find you! Are you okay? Eh Miss, what's the matter with you? Why are you in a daze? What's there over there, you, you, you... are you so engrossed in watching it?"
The little junior sister held the purse in her hand, smiled slyly, blushed shyly, and hurried back to the yard.
…
The man returned to the residence, Fu Xueyan took a nap in the room, Xiuqin fanned her from the side, saw the man came in through the curtain, Xiuqin quickly put down the fan, got up and bowed.
"Back off." The man said.
Xiuqin blinked and looked at her own lady. Although Fu Xueyan closed her eyes, she gestured to go out, and Xiuqin stepped out.
The man took the fan, sat down beside Fu Xueyan, and gently fanned her: "When did you become so afraid of the heat?"
With Fu Xueyan facing inward and his back facing him, a faint voice came: "What are you doing here?"
The man smiled slightly and said, "I brought you a high-quality flower carving, do you want to try it now?"
Fu Xue said calmly: "No, I don't want to drink."
The man smiled and said, "Aren't you the favorite drinker?"
"I don't want to today." Fu Xueyan said.
"Then tomorrow," the man said.
Fu Xueyan didn't answer any more words, and propped her head on one hand, she just lay on her side obliquely, her figure was breathtakingly beautiful.
The man's eyes lingered from her body to her head, he smiled and asked, "Have you contacted Changfengshi yet?"
Fu Xueyan said: "Contacted."
"Did you get something?" the man asked.
"No." Fu Xueyan said.
"Why not?" The smile on the man's face disappeared completely.
Fu Xueyan fiddled with the veil with one hand, and said unhurriedly: "I just communicated a few letters with Chang Feng, and before I could meet him, he was spotted and taken away by the Ji family."
"What about the letter?" the man asked.
Fu Xueyan said calmly: "In the box."
The man glanced at the brocade box on the table, got up and took it over, opened the lid, and flipped through the covers one by one. After reading it, he smiled lightly: "So they have already been to the Tana tribe, and their background I understand everything, and if that is the case, why hasn't the Changfeng Envoy succeeded yet?"
Fu Xueyan casually played with the veil: "I have to ask Changfeng Envoy, that's all I know. I thought about rescuing Changfeng Envoy, but I don't know where they took Changfeng Envoy. They all came to the Suxin sect, so I followed."
The man put the letter back into the brocade box, with an appreciative and gratified smile on his face: "You have done a good job, there is no need to put yourself in for a long wind envoy, if the long wind envoy is exposed, the Ji family must suspect Ye Luo On the head, they... didn't suspect you, did they?"
Fu Xueyan lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know."
The man smiled and said: "That kid was still looking for you outside just now, what did you do with him, he misses you so much?"
Fu Xueyan looked at him coldly, and he curled his lips into a smile: "I'm just joking. It's getting late, so I'll ask someone to cook."
Fu Xueyan didn't say anything, and sat up slowly.
The man called someone to set up a large table of delicious dishes, all of which Fu Xueyan liked to eat, but Fu Xueyan sat on the stool and hesitated to move his chopsticks.
The man glanced at her, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Doesn't suit your appetite?"
"No." Fu Xueyan said.
The man took a sea crab, broke off the fat and tender crab legs, put them in Fu Xueyan's bowl, uncovered the crab shell, and scooped out the tender crab roe: "It's your favorite kind of crab." .”
Fu Xueyan looked at the crab legs and crab meat in the bowl, and said lightly: "I don't want to eat crabs today."
The man smiled gently: "You are so strange today, you don't drink wine, you don't eat crabs, did your heart become wild outside, and many things are different from before?"
Fu Xueyan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of crab roe and fed it into her mouth. The man took her bowl and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it. Don't force yourself. I'll ask someone to change the table for you with new dishes."
"My lord, people from the Suxin sect are asking to see you." The attendant reported outside the house.
"Who?" the man asked calmly.
The attendant said: "It seems to be the disciple of Xu Zongzhu."
The man put down his chopsticks and said to the attendant, "Let him in."
"Yes." The attendant withdrew, and not long after, led the fifth senior brother in.
The fifth senior brother seemed to have inquired about the news, and knew that the man who came halfway was Fu Xueyan's elder brother. Since he admired Fu Xueyan, it was impossible for him to be disrespectful to her elder brother. At the threshold, Fu Xueyan had just put on the veil, and he couldn't help feeling sorry, he had known Fu Xueyan for so long and hadn't seen her face yet, so he was really curious.
However, Fu Xueyan's older brothers were all so handsome and beautiful, so she shouldn't be too bad.
Gathering his thoughts, the fifth senior brother greeted politely: "Fu Bozhen has met senior brother Fu and sister Fu, and today he learned that senior brother Fu came back from his travels, so he specially brought two jars of high-quality sweet-scented osmanthus wine to give to senior brother to taste. The two altars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine were brewed by Suxinzong themselves, and the osmanthus flowers from the top of Suxin Peak were picked. The aroma is pleasant, sweet and delicious, and the master and elders like it very much."
The man smiled slightly: "Fifth Junior Brother has a heart."
The fifth senior brother's eyes stayed on Fu Xueyan's face: "In addition to osmanthus wine, Suxinzong also has peach blossom wine. The taste of peach blossom wine is a little sweeter than osmanthus wine. If Senior Sister Fu likes it, I will send some later."
Fu Xueyan didn't even bother to pay attention to him. At this moment, the voice of the leader's fury came from outside the yard-"Why can that Fu who can enter and I can't? Do you need the permission of the elders to enter here? You Do Su Xinzong want to bully people like this?"
Fifth Senior Brother frowned, and muttered softly, "It's that bastard again!"
The man smiled slightly: "From your tone, it seems like you know that person?"
The fifth senior brother said sadly: "Senior Fu doesn't know something. That person is my fourth senior brother's younger brother, the second young master of the Ji family. He is the most ignorant person. He pesters Senior Sister Fu all day long. Sister Fu is very annoying. He has been clearly told not to bother himself anymore, but he just doesn't listen."
The man's smile remained unchanged: "Since he came to look for my sister, let him in."
Fifth senior brother's eyelashes trembled, unwilling but also dare not, so he had to let the attendants bring the leader in.
When the leader entered the room, he first glanced at the fifth senior brother with disdain, and then his eyes fell on the man's face: "Are you Fu Xueyan's brother, the fiance of the younger junior sister?"
The man said with a pleasant face, "It's my servant, you are the second young master of the Ji family?"
"Yes!" The leader said humanely.
The man smiled gently and said, "My fiancée has been taken care of by the Ji family. I'm here to thank you."
A fool could tell that he was talking about the little junior sister escaping from marriage and hiding in Ji's house. How he knew about it will not be mentioned for now, but there was no way to blame him in his words. He seemed... really grateful.
The leader himself has a face of anger and resentment, and he looks at others after looking in the mirror every day. He basically doesn't think anyone looks good, but right now, he has to admit that Fu Xueyan's brother is a man with a very good looks, bearing and even a heart. , especially his warm smile, people can't help but want to get close.
Thinking of this, the leader's tone subconsciously softened: "You're welcome, we are all our own people."
Fifth senior brother gritted his teeth, really shameless, who is your own
The man asked gently: "We are eating, do you want to go together?"
The fifth senior brother hastily said: "I wish for nothing—"
"Forget it!" The leader interrupted the words of the fifth senior brother, "You brothers and sisters are finally reunited, and we still have something to do, so don't bother!"
Fifth Brother: "I..."
The leader grabbed his sleeves: "Let's go! Your master is calling you!"
The fifth senior brother was forcibly dragged out. With his martial arts, he naturally didn't have to be so embarrassed, but he didn't want to leave a rude image for senior brother and sister Fu, so he had to swallow his anger and come out.
He shook off the leader's people, and said coldly: "Are you courting death?"
The leader said: "Hey, if you speak louder, everyone in the room will listen."
Fifth Senior Brother looked at the yard behind him, and lowered his volume: "This time, for Senior Brother Fu's sake, I bypassed you, but you'd better stop spoiling my good deeds, or I'll make you look good!"
…
In the courtyard, the chefs prepared a table of new wine and dishes, braised fish in brown sauce, crispy duck, chicken drumsticks in sauce, stir-fried mushrooms, double-cooked pork with scallions, cold salad with three shreds, hot and sour kelp shreds, brine peanuts, and a small pot of white fungus and lotus seed soup .
The man scooped up a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, put it in her hand, and said softly: "It's all changed to the taste of the Central Plains, can you see if it suits your heart this time?"
Fu Xueyan picked up the chopsticks expressionlessly, picked up a piece of mushroom and fed it into her mouth.
"I see that you have lost weight these days, did you not eat well?" The man said, and picked up a chicken leg for her.
Fu Xueyan looked at the fat chicken legs and covered her mouth with her hands.
"What's wrong? You look uncomfortable." The man looked at her and asked.
Fu Xueyan took her hand away: "It's nothing."
The man said: "If you are sick, I will call a doctor for you."
Fu Xueyan said seriously: "I'm not sick."
The man smiled slightly: "Then eat quickly, eat more meat, and make up for what fell."
Fu Xueyan's eyes fell on the chicken leg, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, he held back and took a light bite.
"How does it taste?" the man asked with concern.
"It's not bad." Fu Xueyan picked up some hot and sour seaweed shreds, and ate it without distraction.
The man picked the fishbone and put the fish into her bowl: "You didn't eat spicy food before."
Fu Xueyan said: "Eat now."
The man said: "Eat the sour ones?"
Fu Xueyan said: "It's better if it's not sour."
The man said to the door: "Come here, take this plate of kelp away and replace it with one without vinegar."
"No need." Fu Xueyan said impatiently, "Just have a meal, don't keep tossing around."
The man held Fu Xueyan's left hand and said dotingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Fu Xueyan withdrew her hand, picked up the bowl, and started to eat.
The man said: "Just now, those two people often pestered you?"
Fu Xueyan paused, and said calmly: "Uncle Fu really doesn't have it. He knows how to advance and retreat, he doesn't stalk, and the things he gave are quite to my liking."
"You like him very much?" the man asked with a smile.
"No." Fu Xueyan quickly denied.
The man took a sip of the white fungus and lotus seed soup, the smile on his lips was as light as a lotus.
…
The fifth senior brother went back to the yard angrily. Thinking of what happened at Fu Xueyan's place, he was so angry that if it wasn't for that boy's obstruction, he would have had dinner at the same table with Fu Senior Brother and Fu Xueyan. Fu Senior Brother is Fu Xueyan's elder brother , as long as he wins his favor, his marriage with Fu Xueyan will be promising!
It's all the damn idiot's fault!
"Fifth Senior Brother, it's time to eat!" A disciple came over with a food box.
The food here is not as good as the food in Fu Xueyan's yard. He has seen all the dishes on the table, which are richer than those on the master's table.
"Don't eat, I'll practice sword for a while!" He drew out his long sword.
The disciple let out an oh, and obediently waited aside with the food box in hand.
The fifth senior brother used his swordsmanship and picked up pieces of sword flowers under the peach tree. Just as he flew up to the roof, intending to use his strength, when a dragon turned and flew into the cloud and landed on the peach tree, something hit his back suddenly. In the process, he froze and fell heavily from the roof...
The disciple was terrified, and ran over with the food box, patted Fifth Senior Brother on the shoulder, and asked in panic, "Fifth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother! Someone is here! Fifth Senior Brother has an accident—"
…
At this time, the other hospital didn't know that the fifth senior brother had an accident during his practice, all the food was served, the whole family sat at the table and waited, the three little buns looked out the door, why didn't the second uncle come back? He is late for everything, but he is never late for dinner...
The leader leisurely entered the house.
Qiao Wei glared at him: "Where did you go again? The whole family is waiting for you to eat."
"Who made you wait?" The leader sat down beside Jing Yun and went to get the chopsticks. Qiao Wei patted the back of his hand, "Wash your hands!"
The leader snorted, Bi'er called hot water, he washed it carefully, raised his white hand like jade, and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
Qiao Wei served him a bowl of rice, and he ate it in big mouthfuls.
Ji Mingxiu brought food for Qiao Wei first, and then he and a few small buns were eating. Bier walked in, "Ma'am, someone is looking for you outside."
