Chapter 370 City Lord’s Banquet
Liang Yan really didn’t know that Jin Yuye could even forget the banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion.
He ran wildly behind this woman. During this period, the monk guards in the XC area did not stop them, just because both of them exuded the aura of their foundation-building monks,
In just one cup of tea, Liang Yan and Jin Yuye had arrived in front of a huge mansion.
There are many monks guarding this place, and most of them have cultivation levels between the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining. Only the leader has the cultivation level of the seventh level.
When Liang Yan saw so many middle-stage Qi Refining monks willing to serve as gatekeepers, he naturally knew that this was the city lord's palace of Zhiyuan City. He did not dare to neglect, straightened his clothes first, then took a step forward, bowed his hands to the leading guard and said:
"I am Liang Yan of the Yungang Sect, and this is Jin Yuye of the Qianzong next to me. , I’m here for a banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion!”
“It turns out it is! Senior Liang!" The leading guard smiled hurriedly: "The Lord of Ximen City has already told me that there is no need to inform Senior Liang when he comes, just invite him in. Senior Liang, please come with me."
The man finished. He bowed respectfully to him, then turned around and led the way.
Liang Yan and Jin Yuye followed this person side by side without saying a word. After the three of them walked through several corridors of the city lord's mansion, they saw a very spacious open-air courtyard.
There are many tables and chairs placed around the courtyard, all made of Tianshan mahogany, and they look very wealthy. Looking at the various crystal-clear vessels on the wooden table, which contained a lot of delicacies and spiritual fruit and spiritual wine, we knew that the host of the banquet here was wealthy.
Liang Yan took a cursory glance and saw that many people were already seated at the banquet. It seemed that he was the only two people who were late, and he immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He greeted Jin Yuye, and the two of them entered the courtyard hand in hand. Liang Yan first raised his hands to the person in charge and said, "Liang is late, please forgive me, Lord Ximen!"
Sitting on the main seat is a handsome young man, wearing a rich robe. There is an emerald ring on the ring finger of his left hand and the index finger of his right hand. They are full of aura, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary things.
After hearing Liang Yan’s confession, the young man immediately stood up from the table, slightly cupped his hands towards Liang Yan and said:
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you're so polite! Ximen Hao heard that a newly promoted foundation-building monk came to the city, and actually challenged fellow Taoist monks from the Fierce Ghost Sect in the ring. He has long been attracted to him and wants to make friends. No. Thinking about what he saw today, he is indeed a young hero!"
Liang Yan looked at him and saw that although this man appeared to be less than thirty years old. But he already knew that the Lord of Ximen City had been immersed in the foundation building period for sixty or seventy years, and his cultivation level and magical powers were quite extraordinary.
Such a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, in front of a first-time Foundation Establishment monk like himself, not only did not show any airs, but appeared to be sincere, which made Liang Yan a little impressed.
"Haha! Lord Ximen is so ridiculous! How can Liang's little tricks fall into the eyes of the Lord."
Liang Yan did not become arrogant because of Ximen Hao's praise. The people who came here for the banquet were all monks who were at least in the middle stage of foundation building and above, and he didn't want to look too conspicuous. He immediately scratched his head and forced out a shy smile, looking like a simple young man.
Jin Yuye caught a glimpse of Liang Yan's honest appearance from the side and couldn't help but burst into laughter. However, she immediately took a step forward and saluted Ximen Hao, hiding her embarrassment.
"Okay! Both of you are young talents, please take a seat quickly!" Ximen Hao laughed and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture. Liang Yan looked around and saw an empty table in the east corner, so he walked over. Unexpectedly, there was a sound of bells ringing behind him, and it turned out that Jin Yuye also followed.
Liang Yan originally thought that the girl would not follow him anymore under the public gaze here. Unexpectedly, Jin Yuye did not shy away and actually sat down next to him. It seemed that he wanted to eat together. A table.
Liang Yan had nothing to do about this. He was already seated. He couldn't pick an empty table and change his seat again, right? However, he was also curious about the eight colleagues who were also Sword Suppressors this time. At this moment, he didn't care about the golden jade leaves, but turned to look at the people in the field.
I saw Lord Ximen sitting on the throne, and there were two people sitting on his left and right sides.
One of them has short hair like Yu Xuanji, a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like bright stars. He is wearing a green Taoist robe with big sleeves fluttering, and he looks quite like an immortal.
The other man is about fifty years old, with white beard and white hair. He is wearing a gray cloth shirt with several large holes in it. He is carrying a sapphire wooden stick behind his back, and there is a mysterious hanging on the stick. Holding a wine gourd. Liang Yan looked at him from a distance and felt that this person did not look like a monk, but more like an old beggar in the secular world.
Although he has such an idea, he will never take it seriously, because these two people have strong auras, and they are both monks in the late stage of foundation building!
Jin Yuye saw the confusion in his eyes and immediately chuckled: "Brother Liang, what are you looking at? You are not from the Wu Kingdom. I'm afraid the monks in the field won't recognize any of you, right?"
Liang Yan was not annoyed when she revealed what he was thinking, and just had a noncommittal smile on his face.
"Let Yu Ye help you introduce me."
Jin Yuye smiled sweetly, pointed at the monk in Taoist robes on Ximen Hao's left hand and said: "This person's name is Shi Guang Han is the deputy city lord of Zhiyuan City, with the same cultivation level as Ximen Hao. They are all in the late stage of foundation building. Although this deputy city leader has just advanced, his ice magic is very powerful. He once killed two casual cultivators of the same level by himself."
Liang Yan nodded slightly when he heard this, and saw the golden jade leaf’s wonderful eyes flashing at this moment. He turned around and pointed at the old man wearing rags and said:
"This old man is even more extraordinary! Don't look at him dressed in rags, he looks like a secular beggar, but that It's because of his skills. This person calls himself "Beihai God Beggar" and his real name is Qiao Wanli. When he was in the middle stage of foundation building, he once killed a monk who was in the late stage of foundation building. He practiced the "Buddha Capturing Dragon Technique" secretly taught by his master. This method requires sharpening one's mind in the secular world, so he Only then will he turn into a beggar and play with the world.”
"That's it!"
After listening to Jin Yuye's introduction, Liang Yan looked at Qiao Wanli with a thoughtful expression, and the old beggar who was drinking and talking with the city lord actually seemed to have something. He also turned his head and smiled gently at him.
Liang Yan was startled and said to himself: "What a shrewd old man!"
However, although he was shocked, he was still polite on the surface. He raised the glass in his hand and looked at it. He paid respect to the old man from a distance.
