Chapter 149: Banquet (10)
"But Ninth Sister..." Gu Xuan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Jiu Mei did it on purpose, she's fine." Gu Xiu said.
Gu Xuan was stunned, "Does it intentionally?"
"Well," Gu Xiu nodded, "The senior Guangyue said just now that the Ninth Sister fainted because of the retrograde breath and causing her meridians to become confused.
Not to mention that when the Ninth Sister was controlled by the Illusion Heart Talisman, she did not fall into a coma, not to mention that the Illusion Heart Talisman was later solved by the Senior Xu. How could Ninth Sister turn back the divine breath? She did not fight with anyone, nor was she injured, so I guess it was her intentional act."
"Why did she do this?" Gu Xuan blurted out.
As soon as she said that, she understood that she had asked a stupid question. Why did she do this? Naturally, she was to escape the awkward environment that was almost unable to deal with.
"No wonder that senior Guangyue said that Jiu Mei is a smart person. I think she is indeed very smart." Gu Xuan curled her lips.
I was still worried just now, but once I learned that Gu Yue had nothing to do, I started to say no to others again.
Gu Xiu deliberately said: "Anyway, it's smarter than you. If you encounter that situation, you will definitely not be able to feel dizzy if you say it, and you will still turn to us naturally, avoiding the embarrassment and not causing yourself to fall to the ground."
After hearing what Gu Xiu said, Gu Xuan said "tsk tsk" twice. She probably couldn't do it. Not only could she not do it, but she might also shout it out loud, making people continue to laugh at it.
After sitting down again, the doudan has already started on the cloud platform. The so-called doudan means that two alchemists use the same material to refine the same elixir to see who uses the least time and has the highest quality of the elixir.
Even if it is just ordinary elixirs, the time it takes is not too short. Therefore, when the two alchemists fight for elixirs, except for the referee, many alchemists who want to learn from it, and monks who are interested in the way of alchemists, the other monks began to talk to each other, and some even walked around, chatting and laughing.
There are many monks who come to Gu Xiu and the others to toast. Gu Xiu and Gu Xuan have become popular because of Gu Yue's affairs. Most of the monks came to inquire about the dispute between Gu Yue and Huai's wife, and some people want to ask about the follow-up situation. Gu Xiu did not expect that these people were so gossiping.
Another female cultivator asked Gu Yue how he was talking and said, Gu Xuan's tone was a little bad, "Didn't you see it? Since Gu Yue left, my eighth sister and I have been sitting here. How about her now? How can we know? If you are really so curious, why don't you go and ask for it yourself and tell us the result. My eighth sister and I have low cultivation and weak strength, so we dare not walk around in the city lord's mansion."
"Hmph, I think you are very brave." The female cultivator was displeased by Gu Xuan, and she felt unhappy and became polite. "Do you know who the person you ninth sister offended?"
Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu did not answer, and someone next to him said, "Looking at that look, I think I am a disciple of the inner city of the city lord's mansion, and there are maids around me to serve."
"I seemed to hear that it was called Huai Mu before."
"Yes, I heard it's this name, but did that Senior Xu ask her to take her to the Zhengjue Hall? Since they have all taken her to the Zhengjue Hall, they should not be of any important person, right?"
"What do you know? It was said that she was taken to the Zhengjue Hall. Who did we see that she was really taken to the Zhengjue Hall? This is just for us to show the fairness of the city lord's mansion. Maybe once we leave here, that fellow Taoist Huai will not be taken to the Xingjue Hall, but Senior Xu will also comfort her."
"That's true..."
For a moment, a group of bored monks who were watching the alchemy turned their attention back again, and even Xin Cheng did not escape the end of being discussed again.
"No!"
Amid the messy discussion, a clear sound rang, which was clearer and firmer than every sound present.
And this voice was not only clear in Gu Xiu and Gu Xuan's ears, but also a bit familiar.
Gu Xiu looked over with the sound and saw that Zhong Yun had already stood up from her seat. Since a monk mentioned the name Xu Ruoguang before, Zhong Yun asked, and later she seemed to have never spoken again.
Gu Xiu looked at her and found that she was a little confused and seemed to be thinking about something. She didn't ask much because she was talking about Gu Yue's affairs with Gu Xuan.
Now, Zhong Yun stood straight, with a slightly red face, and a bright look at the monks, as if she was maintaining her most important belief, and said firmly and clearly: "Senior Xu will not be able to make one person in front of others. If such a false thing is done, he will definitely not appease that fellow Taoist Huai, and he will definitely send her to the Punishment Hall."
The firm eyes and the firm tone made the monks unable to speak for a while. They just stared at Zhong Yun blankly. Zhong Yun looked at the monk who said that Xu Ruoguang would privately comfort Huai Mu and said, "You have never seen the facts, so you have maliciously speculated on Senior Xu to smear the reputation of Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion for no reason. If I inform the manager of this matter, you will be driven out of the City Lord's Mansion."
The monk's face turned red. He didn't expect that he would just talk casually, and Zhong Yun caught this handle. He threatened to tell the manager and drove him out of the city lord's mansion.
"You...you..." He pointed at Zhong Yun, so angry that he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said in a lust: "What are you doing? Are you not a monk in the city lord's mansion? You are really full."
Maybe he was really guilty, and the monk was about to leave after he finished speaking.
However, Zhong Yun shouted suddenly, "Stop!" and stopped.
"What else do you want to do?"
"I want to tell you that I am not meddling in other people's business. We can go to the city lord's mansion to attend Mrs. Nuoling's birthday party. No matter how the jade plaques that came to the city lord's mansion were obtained, I think whether it was the insights of the great way taught by Lord Zhao at the beginning, the stunning dances of the senior class later, or the fighting elixirs that are being carried out on the cloud platform now, the various spiritual fruits and delicacies on the table are far more than the price we paid to obtain the jade plaques in the city. This is the support of the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion to us, the younger monks. For this, we should be grateful. Even if there is not, we should not talk about the city lord's mansion at will and destroy the reputation.
I am not a disciple of the Lord of Shangcheng City Mansion, nor do I know Senior Xu. I am just a grateful young monk!"
"Okay! OK! Well said!" As soon as Zhong Yun finished speaking, someone shouted loudly.
One person applauded, and the others followed suit.
In any case, they can enter the City Lord's Mansion and get benefits from this birthday party. Is it because they are the gifts of the City Lord's Mansion. In this case, they naturally cannot offend the City Lord's Mansion.
The monk who was severely taught by Zhong Yun slipped away at some point, and he didn't even return to his original seat. He didn't know whether he had gone out or went to another place.
