Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 16: Confirmed

This reaction is quite normal. No reaction at all is abnormal. Zhao Changhe didn't think much about it and clinked his bowls with a smile: "Drinking wine in big bowls and eating big chunks of meat. When I was a kid, I watched Water Margin... Well, anyway, I had such a dream when I was a kid, and it felt heroic. But now I'm really in the bandit's den, eating meat by picking it up, buying wine by myself, and sharing a gourd of wine by picking it up. It's really disillusioning."

Luo Qi laughed: "The kind you are talking about must be a mountain king, or at least a big leader. But I feel you can definitely do it."

"It's a bit difficult. To be a leader, you must at least be a formal follower, right? I don't see any hope of joining the church right now. They said that I can join the church when I have faith, but no one is preaching to us? Instructor Sun doesn't seem to be responsible for this, and the helmsman has not been seen at all. I don't know where he has hidden."

Luo Qi sipped his wine and looked at Zhao Changhe's expression: "Judging from your attitude, you don't really care?"

"I do care a little. I want to obtain the Blood God Art, not the Blood Evil Art. Of course, it would be better if I could join the Four Symbols Sect... Some people who practiced the Blood God Art were challenged by opponents of higher levels."

Luo Qi laughed out loud.

It seems that although Zhao Changhe did not say it, the battle between Yue Hongling and Xue Canghai really completely shattered his expectations for the Blood God Cult.

Zhao Changhe sipped his wine and said, "There's nothing to rush now anyway. We've only just started. Who knows, this helmsman might be fired tomorrow? My life would be much easier if Instructor Sun took over. He's really good to me."

"That's a nice thought. You thought that Captain Fang was hiding, but he should be preaching in the city... Although I didn't see any signs of the cult preaching when I entered the city today, I guess it's hard to get started, so it hasn't started yet."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhao Changhe lowered his voice: "Don't you think this branch is very strange?"

Luo Qi's mind trembled. He didn't want to talk about this topic. You might as well worry about whether I am a man or a woman! But Zhao Changhe said this, so he could only play dumb: "What do you mean?"

"The branch is new, but the underground altar is definitely not newly excavated. How big a project is this? It is obvious that it has been there for a long time. It must be a secret place left by someone in the early years and discovered by the Blood God Cult."

Luo Qi immediately said: "This is also normal. If there is a ready-made place, just use it. Then set up a stronghold nearby and establish a branch. There is nothing strange about it."

"But what reason do they have to build a branch in the middle of winter?" Zhao Changhe was speechless. "For such a large sect, they didn't make preparations to build a branch long ago. Now it's suddenly snowing and freezing, and they are short of food and clothing. Why bother? Did Master Xue's brain get damaged by the challenge of a higher level? Oh, he hadn't been beaten by Yue Hongling at that time."

Luo Qi was speechless for a moment.

No, could you please stop mentioning this cross-level challenge

"Yue Hongling accidentally heard that they were going to attack the Luo family while she was here. She said that Sect Leader Xue was also here at the time. This means that there are important secrets hidden here. The main force of the Blood God Sect settled here to open up the wasteland, and the Sect Leader led the team personally. Later, they were interrupted by the matter of killing Luo Zhenwu. In fact, the work should not have been completed, or was only half completed. The Sect Leader could not stay here for a long time, so in the middle of winter, he left people here to set up a new branch and continue the search."

Luo Qi: “…”

Zhao Changhe drank the wine in the bowl and slammed the bowl on the table. "I doubt it. This is not even about the Blood God Sect, but the Four Symbols Sect. Whether you can join the Four Symbols Sect or learn the Blood God Skill, there is still merit here. You can't go wrong by paying attention."

Luo Qi looked at the wine bowl with dim eyes, and suddenly raised his head and smiled: "You, just drink if you want to, but you are not being polite at all when you talk so much, and you keep mentioning manliness all the time."

"Come on, drink three bowls!"

"This gourd can't even pour out that many bowls of wine."

"It's okay to have some hot wine in this winter!"

The hot wine was indeed refreshing, warming Luo Qi's face to a rosy red, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes that was hard to explain.

After finishing his drink, he looked down at the empty bowl and suddenly said, "Changhe, in this world, you shouldn't trust people too much. You can just keep these analyses in your heart. Why speak them out loud?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Why can't I tell you this? I won't tell others nonsense."

"Don't trust anyone easily, including me." Luo Qi paused, and added: "This also includes Instructor Sun who you think is very good to you."

"Uh..." Zhao Changhe asked tentatively, "Are you drunk?"

Luo Qi smiled, stood up as if he couldn't handle the alcohol, and stretched himself: "Yeah, I can't handle alcohol... I'm going to bed and rest first."

Zhao Changhe also stood up, and grabbed Luo Qi's shoulders in a somewhat excited manner: "Big Brother, please order some food. It's just a few glasses of wine..."

Luo Qi didn't react, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he was hugged tightly, and he froze there instantly. "Tsk, you're so skinny." Zhao Changhe pinched his shoulder with his big hand: "You can only practice your internal energy. If there is no internal energy in the world, I can beat ten people like you. Go to sleep, go to sleep, I will practice more. I feel that hot wine can stimulate the blood and qi, and the effect of practice will be better..."

When his hand left his shoulder, Zhao Changhe had already gone outside the door and squatted in horse stance.

Luo Qi stood there in a daze, and turned his head stiffly to look at the door.

Just hugged like that

Is this normal for Zhao Changhe? He is just hanging out with his brothers. What man has never done that

Ke Luo and the other seven were all numb and dazed. Their minds were blank, as if electric currents were running through their bodies.

Zhao Changhe quickly ran to the door and squatted, feeling deeply regretful.

Of course he did it on purpose!

After drinking some wine, I was a little distracted by the rosy face of Luo Qi. After all, he is a hot-blooded man... I also wanted to take the opportunity to prove it.

The softness of men's and women's shoulders is of course different.

This time it was really confirmed, it was a female.

I had some evil taste at first, and wanted to deliberately watch the look on the face of this senior brother who was disguised as a man and was touched by someone and had no way to express his grievances... and "don't trust anyone, including me", sneer.

But soon he wanted to slap himself. He was really looking for trouble. What was the practical point of taking advantage of the situation? He couldn't do any real work. Instead, he couldn't even get rid of his erection, and he could only cover it up by squatting.

Why bother.

And how are we going to get along after this! I've already said that men are more convenient, but you still insist on doing it. What proof is there

Zhao Changhe really wanted to slap himself to death.

So one of them just stood there looking at him blankly, while the other one practiced martial arts with his neck stretched out in a blank manner. Both of them were in a trance. The atmosphere was strange and stiff for a while, and then Luo Qi suddenly smiled sweetly.

Zhao Changhe caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and felt numb for a moment, squatting in horse stance and looking at the sky seriously.

But Luo Qi came over with big strides and took Zhao Changhe's shoulder with his hand: "Hey."

Zhao Changhe's body stiffened: "Ah? Something wrong?"

"Your horse stance movements today are not standard. If you practice like this, something will go wrong." Luo Qi whispered in his ear, "Could it be that you drank a little and wanted to do that to keep warm? This is not good. Do you want me to take you to the brothels in the city?"

"Uh... well." Zhao Changhe twitched his lips and asked awkwardly, "Don't you usually not touch hands with others? Why are you putting your arm around my shoulder?"

Luo Qi acted nonchalantly: "We weren't familiar with each other before, but now we're brothers, isn't that right? You can ride with me, but I can't ride with you?"

I see.

She still wants to pretend? Using this method to force it? I was stunned for a long time, and this is the answer

Zhao Changhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had no idea how to evaluate this kind of tofu that was delivered to his door, but he felt a lot more relieved.

Originally, there didn't seem to be anything wrong... But the feeling of her leaning on him, holding his shoulders, and breathing softly into his ears... Zhao Changhe shamefully discovered that his horse stance could hardly be concealed.

My uncle passed away today due to COVID-19, so I may have to go back to my hometown... I will use my saved drafts for the next two days. Everyone please take good care of your health and take good care of the elderly.
