Chapter 33 Banquet

Going up the mountain road all the way, after passing the Erchongtian archway, it is considered to have officially entered the "Red Plum City".

Although it is a temporary city, there are restaurants, inns, clothing stores, pharmacies, etc. in the city. The steps paved with jade are scattered in height and low, and the houses with blue bricks and green tiles are deep and alleys, resembling the beauty of a mountain city.

Hongmei City has a pattern of openings in all directions and eight verticals. The building complex looks random, but in fact it is closely related to the layout of the formation. As the host, Xiaoyao Palace occupies Tianyuan, stands on the top of the peak, and is the first core in the formation. The six major sects belong to the six directions, but they occupy the other six schools, leaving the dead door untouched and left to the eight directions for casual cultivation.

Passing through the long block, you come to a building courtyard with red walls and white tiles. There are three large characters written on the plaque at the main entrance: Dijian Garden.

This is where the Moon Washing Sect is stationed.

Dijian Garden is located in the south of the Lingnan Mountains. The Zhangjing Gate is away from the position. Because the main fire is away from the position, and the moon is still white, red walls and white tiles are built on the resident site as a sign. In addition to the Xiyue Sect, there are also some large and small affiliated sects in Wenxin, forming an independent large area.

After entering the Dijian Garden, there is a director of handymen. Knowing that Tang Jie is a student of Xiyue and a formal participant, he led Tang Jie to a place called Qingxinxuan, which is the residence arranged by the academy for him. .

This Qingxinxuan can be regarded as a clean and elegant place, and Tang Jie is quite satisfied.

This is the concentration area for Xiyue students. As soon as Tang Jie arrived, many people knew that Tang Jie was coming, so the guard Tian Chong Shimeng immediately rushed to him, and when he saw Tang Jie, he shouted: "Okay, Tang Jie, You still know that when you come back, you almost think that you died in some poor country."

Tang Jie asked with a smile: "Listen to this tone, you have been here for a long time?"

"I've been here for more than twenty days." Shi Meng replied: "Of the twenty participants in the academy, you are the last one to come. If you don't come again, Xieyuan will send someone to look for you. Someone is starting to come on to replace you."

Wei Tianchong said: "Don't worry about anything else, hand over the puppet to me first, and let me see if it's damaged."

Tang Jie returned the puppet to Wei Tianchong, and saw Wei Tianchong looking left and right at the puppet, inspecting it repeatedly for fear that something might be damaged, which made Tang Jie helpless: "Dare you come here not for me, but for the puppet?" Yes, you look so chilling, young master."

"Nonsense." Wei Tianchong replied angrily: "I worked so hard to make such a third-grade battle puppet, and you took it with me and disappeared before you used it for the last time."

"It's just a third-rank battle puppet. Look at your nervous look. Didn't you see that Hongmei City is full of third-rank war puppets? They are all black armored guards." Tang Jie said, Wei Tianchong also had a fascination in his eyes, obviously these days he was not less shocked by the black-armored warrior guards in Hongmei City, he said to Tang Jie: "Tang Jie, you said we will also add a whole body to this war puppet!" How about the battle armor?"

"Do you know how much it costs? Weapons and armor, at least 10,000 more."

Hearing this number, Wei Tianchong immediately shook his head. Making puppets has already exhausted his wealth, and it is impossible for him to come up with this money in a short time.

It was still Tang Jie who said, "But if the young master dares to take risks, maybe I can help the young master get a set."

"How?" Wei Tianchong asked.

"Of course it was taken from those black armored guards." Tang Jie replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Wei Tianchong was startled, and shook his head again and again: "Are you crazy, dare to fight this idea? Don't say that those black-armored warrior guards are hard to deal with, even if they are really easy to deal with, let Xiaoyao Palace know, you and I Even the moon-washing students can't afford to walk around."

"Then what if I have a way to deal with it, but never let them find out?"

"This..." Wei Tian hesitated for a moment.

He was thinking about it, but he saw a few more people rushing in from outside, the leader was Peng Yaolong, followed by Qi Shaoming, Ye Tianshang, Cai Junyang, and a few other people who were also students of the Fairy Fate Association and met Tang Jie Not familiar with each other.

As soon as Peng Yaolong arrived at the door, he yelled at Tang Jie: "Okay, Tang Jie, you are on the road alone, traveling in the mountains and rivers,

I really had fun, but I didn't come here until now. "

Tang Jie smiled and said: "Isn't it just a few days before it starts? I counted the days to come. It's rare to come out, so naturally I have to travel a lot."

"You don't come here. I bet, Tang Jie, you are not going to travel, but to try." It was Cai Junyang who understood Tang Jie and revealed Tang Jie's secrets.

Ye Tianshang said: "It's very simple to prove it, just open his mustard bag and see."

Everyone was booing one after another, depending on what benefits Tang Jie could gain by going out alone.

Tang Jie helplessly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, senior brothers, please let me go, at worst, can I treat you to a meal?"

It was impossible for everyone to really open his mustard seed bag to have a look, and when they heard this, they all applauded.

Even Qi Shaoming said: "There is a Tianxiang Tower in the west of the city. It is said that there are all kinds of rare delicacies. I have always wanted to taste it, but I am ashamed. Since Tang Jie wants to treat guests, how about going to Tianxiang Tower?"

When Tang Jie heard this, his face collapsed: "Eldest Young Master Qi, you are so shy that you can't afford it, and I can't even afford it."

Qi Shaoming replied seriously: "It's okay, we won't eat you too much, even one or two thousand per person is enough."

"..."

A group of people went to Tianxiang Tower in such a noisy manner.

This day, Xianglou is considered a gold-selling place in Hongmei City. Although the things in it are good, they are also surprisingly expensive. When Qi Shaoming mentioned Tianxianglou, it was just a joke, but Tang Jie actually agreed.

When we arrived at Tianxiang Tower, after Tang Jie ordered dishes for everyone, even Wei Tianchong stuck out his tongue and said, "Red stewed gluttonous ox tongue, steamed fish with ghost noodles, fried moon shadow silkworm... Tang Jie, I'm afraid you can't order these dishes." Three or four thousand?"

Tang Jie smiled: "Isn't this being tricked by Jun Yang, insisting on telling me that I went to the trial. I did get some benefits from this tour, so I naturally want to express my feelings. You don't have to You're welcome, I can still afford this meal."

Everyone looked at Tang Jie with strange eyes for a moment.

Being able to treat everyone to a meal worth three or four thousand yuan casually meant that Tang Jie would have to earn at least twenty thousand yuan. Being able to earn all this in such a short period of time can only show that Tang Jie's strength has improved.

For Tang Jie, spending money to treat guests not only has the function of showing strength, but also has another important meaning, which is to draw closer relationships and make friends with everyone.

Those who can sit together today can be said to be the most outstanding group of students from Xiyue Academy. These people have had no time to get together because of their respective cultivation, so they rarely meet each other, so it is also difficult to make friends.

The convening of the Fairy Fate Meeting gave everyone an opportunity to temporarily put aside their cultivation and get to know each other from a new perspective.

This chance to get to know each other is much better than the true biography battle.

In the battle of true biography, you fight over each other, and it is easy to hurt the peace.

The battle of immortal fate is to join hands and fight against foreign enemies. At this moment, all the students are not competitors, but cooperate with each other.

Because of this, Tang Jie also intends to take this opportunity to get in touch with everyone.

Treating guests is undoubtedly a good way.

Take this opportunity to make up for some unhappiness caused by the true mission, and also take this opportunity to re-establish friendship with those friends who have known each other but are not close.

Sure enough, after drinking a few glasses of spiritual wine at this moment, the atmosphere of the conversation became heated.

At this moment, Tang Jie said: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that I am quite puzzled about. It is not too late for me to come here today. How you look at it, it seems that I am the last one among the participating students of the six major factions. Arrived? What are you all doing so early?"

Peng Yaolong and the others looked at each other, then suddenly laughed together, but did not answer.

Still Shi Meng said: "Tang Jie, you also have times when you are stupid, and you forget why this Fairy Fate Meeting is held?"

"Naturally, it is for the future contribution of Xiaoyao Palace and... the little Palace Master?" Tang Jie was stunned, and suddenly understood.

For the six major sects, the most important thing about this Xianyuan meeting is who the future of Xiaoyao Palace belongs to.

But for the participating college students, the most important thing is who the little palace master marries!

If one wants to marry the little palace lord, strong strength is absolutely necessary, but strength is definitely not enough. After all, the fist can only let the students enter the top ten, and the little palace lord himself has the final say on who to choose among the top ten.

Because of this, almost every young student who aspires to be a little palace master has a plan in mind.

The best way is to come to the Red Plum City ahead of time, looking for an opportunity to get acquainted with the little Palace Master.

If they can get to know the little Palace Master before the official competition and establish a relationship, then the rest is just a matter of the top ten. If they could capture the heart of the little Palace Master, even the top ten might not be a problem.

Because of this, all the students came to Hongmei City ahead of time, always looking for opportunities to meet the little Palace Master. Those like Tang Jie who are completely uninterested in the little palace master naturally never thought of doing this, so they only came now.

"So it's like this..." After realizing it, Tang Jie couldn't help laughing and said, "Then, has any of you met the little Palace Master?"

A group of people on the table looked at each other and spread their hands at the same time, obviously no one was lucky to see.

A student named Zhu Fengdao said: "But we didn't see the little palace master, but it doesn't mean that the little palace master didn't see us. The little palace master is known as the beauty of the country, and this Tianxiang building happens to be named after Tianxiang. Maybe it's the little palace master. The palace lord opened it to observe people coming and going. Maybe he is hiding in some hidden corner and watching us secretly!"

As soon as he said this, several students immediately straightened their clothes and hats, their words and deeds, and the atmosphere at the table fell silent for a while.

However, there are also some students who disdain and sarcastically said: "He is a dignified girl, with golden branches and jade leaves, who will hide in the corner and peep at you? Think beautifully!"

Zhu Fengdao immediately refused to accept it and said: "What's the matter with the girl of the sky, don't you still have to marry a student from the Six Schools in the end? This is a big deal for a student, but is it a trivial matter for the little palace master? Don't you think she is willing to be married at ten Randomly pick one of these strange men? These days, the little palace lord is probably looking for a suitable marriage everywhere. You just watch, there is no telling when something will happen, which is what the little palace lord uses to test everyone's character So everyone remember, don't be soft when you are a knight, and use your sword when you can stand up for justice!"

"Fuck, hypocrisy! What kind of chivalry is this? It's more like deceiving the world and stealing fame." Cai Junyang said dissatisfied. All his life, he pursued Ren Qing's sword and traveled thousands of miles, so he was very dissatisfied with Zhu Fengdao's words.

Zhu Fengdao was not happy anymore: "It's your business that you don't want to. I kindly gave advice to everyone, but why did I fail? If you really have such a strong character, if something happens, you don't want to make a move, so as not to let you down. People say that you are trying to curry favor with the little Palace Master. Anyway, there are many cultivators on Hongmei Ridge, and you are not one of them."

"You also know that there are more cultivators on Hongmei Ridge than ordinary people, how many injustices can you make yourself stand out?" Someone sneered.

"That's hard to say. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is a gap in strength, there will be injustice. Who said that injustice must happen between Xiufan?"

Zhu Fengdao was talking when he heard a sudden commotion downstairs.
