Chapter 1097 Acting
Chu Jingqi and Long Yi stayed inside for a while and then came out, followed by their second senior brother and Le Ying.
The second senior brother kept approaching Chu Jingqi, feeling very excited.
Le Ying, on the other hand, followed Chu Jingqi like a spirit behind her, her sad eyes constantly shooting at Chu Jingqi as if she didn't want money.
With that pitiful and resentful expression, people who didn't know the situation would have thought that Chu Jingqi had abandoned her.
These brothers and sisters...
Because the other party was a member of one of the ten martial arts sects, Chu Jingqi couldn't bear to break up with him, so he suppressed a surge of anger, walked to Xia Zihan, pulled her up, intertwined their fingers, and said as gently as water, "Ayu, uncle. It is said that the leader of the Dragon Alliance will arrive in Jiangning City today, and we will go to the guest house of the Long family to meet his old man.”
There was no mention of what to do about the murder cases of Wang Erwu.
Wang Erwu is a member of the Jianghu people. The day before yesterday, people from the ten martial arts sects told Chu Jingqi that the Jianghu people were in charge of the affairs of the Jianghu people and there was no need for people from the imperial court to interfere.
In this case, if someone from Jianghu is killed, it is also Jianghu's business. The court cannot intervene in the investigation. If you want to find out the murderer, Jianghu people can only come forward. People from the court can choose to watch.
So, there is nothing wrong with Chu Jingqi now.
And Long Yi has always been a master of unfavorable things. If he has the spare time to find the murderer for a stranger, he might as well go home and spend more time with his wife and son.
Therefore, the two people just exchanged greetings inside, then pretended to be idle watching a show, said hello and came out.
"Okay, Wulin leader, I'd also like to meet him." Xia Zihan tilted her head, thinking about her first visit to meet an elder. Should she bring some gifts?
Don’t people in the world know about the idea of door-to-door gifts?
She looked at Water Hibiscus, her eyes as bright as the stars in the dark night, "Auntie, should we prepare some gifts?"
"No need." Shui Furong frowned.
People in the world always communicate in a straight-forward manner, and the elders always give gifts to the younger ones. No younger generation should give gifts to the elders when they meet for the first time.
People in Jianghu are different from noble families in the capital. They have to give gifts when they come to their door, otherwise they will be scolded behind their backs for not knowing their etiquette.
The four of them seemed to have forgotten about the second senior brother and Le Ying. As they spoke, the four of them walked towards the entrance of the alley.
The second senior brother watched helplessly as his idol left without inviting him. That was very sad.
But Le Ying wanted to follow.
Seeing that the second senior brother didn't move, she tugged on the second senior brother's sleeve and said, "Second senior brother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you leave? They are almost gone. Let's chase them quickly."
"Didn't you see that they didn't even look at us?" The second senior brother waved her hand away irritably, "Chu Shizi and Long Gongzi don't like us following them. If we continue to follow them, they will fall out, and you, Chu The prince has already married a wife, so you should stop having such wishful thinking. You should quickly withdraw your thoughts and don’t make Prince Chu hate you even more.”
Although the second senior brother is a careless and impulsive person, he is not an idiot.
He had noticed the look in the junior sister's eyes that was almost glued to Chu Jingqi, but in front of Chu Jingqi's group of people, he was afraid that the junior sister would be embarrassed and angry, so he didn't stop her.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jingqi ignored her to this point, and the junior sister didn't give up and wanted to follow her and cause trouble.
Does she have any brain?
Le Ying was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned as white as snow.
It felt as embarrassing as taking off my clothes on the street and being watched. "Second Senior Brother, I..." She gritted her teeth and tried to justify her actions, "When the martial arts leader comes, people from the top ten sects will definitely go to greet him. I just want to go there with Prince Chu and the others first. Master and Senior brother will definitely go there after a while. Don’t you admire Prince Chu very much? I... I just want you to be closer to Prince Chu.”
"It's you who wants to get closer to Prince Chu." The second senior brother irritably brushed the bangs on his forehead.
"Forget it, let's go back. Prince Chu doesn't seem to like us. From now on, we will stay away from him."
The second senior brother took the little junior sister's hand and went to the ruined temple.
Le Ying's face turned pale and she bit her lip. She was still unwilling to look back at Chu Jingqi who was almost gone.
……
When Chu Jingqi and his party rushed to the guest house rented by the Long family, the old alliance leader Long had not arrived yet, so Long Mian came forward to receive the four of them.
In the guest house of the Long family, Long Yi and Shui Furong, a pair of serious masters, act like a pair of guests, while Long Mian, who was originally just a brother-in-law, looks like the master of the Long family. Spectrum.
No, Long Mian is sitting in the host's position, while Long Yi is arranged to sit in the guest's position below. This arrangement once again shows the difference in status between Long Yi and Long Mian in the Long family.
The general manager of the Long family frowned on the side, as if he was not happy with Long Mian's arrangement, but the real master, Long Yi, didn't say anything, so the general manager of the Long family couldn't explain it clearly.
After all, Long Mian came to Jiangning City this time to handle some disputes between sects on behalf of the old leader Long.
Now that the dispute has been settled and the old alliance leader is coming, we can't just turn our backs on him immediately and force Long Mian to give up his position to Long Yi, right?
When the head of the Long family changed his mind, Long Mian spoke and said, "The news I just received from the master said that he will not arrive until the afternoon. In the afternoon, Long Yi and his senior brother will go to pick up the master from his home outside the city."
"Yeah." Long Yi responded calmly.
If Chu Jingqi hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have bothered to come to Long's house. Hmm... the old guy had plotted against him and asked him to pick up someone outside the city...
Hum...
Long Yi deliberately showed his unhappiness on his face. A trace of disdain flashed deep in Long Mian's eyes, and he smiled again, "Master said that if he wants to see his daughter-in-law, he should ask his junior brother to bring his younger brothers and sisters with him."
He had never been willing to go to see the master with his junior brother. If the master hadn't asked Long Yi and his wife to pick him up by name, he would not have let his junior brother know about the master's arrival in Jiangning City today.
He kindly told his junior brother, but what was his expression?
Not happy?
It doesn't matter if you don't like it, it would be better if the father and son fight as soon as they meet.
As long as the relationship between master and junior brother is not good, from now on, master will only think of him and not junior brother when something happens.
On the surface, Long Mian glanced at Shui Furong kindly, but in his heart he was very excited and looking forward to seeing the scene of the quarrel between master and junior brother in the afternoon.
"Are you okay? If you're okay, I'll leave first. I'll take Rong'er there in the afternoon." Long Yi suddenly stood up and said coldly.
This attitude made it clear that he was not willing to go to the outskirts of the city with Long Mian, a playful old fox.
Long Mian doesn't care, as long as Long Yi can go.
