lead fades away

When Qing Shi and Hao Wen lived in the inn for the fifth day, the first wave of high-ranking monks finally arrived, but they didn't look like sectarian sects in terms of clothing, and they didn't look like casual cultivators in terms of behavior.Among them is a pair of twin brothers who are near perfection in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although their cultivation is not amazing, they are exactly the same in terms of clothes and appearance. They are even more eye-catching than the Jindan Nascent Soul beside them, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch .

Seeing this group of monks descending from the sky to the front door of the inn, Hao Wen walked up to Qingshi and said, "They are from Penglai Pavilion."

"Shen's family?" Qingshi couldn't help but think of what Shen Shenzhou once said about him having a pair of twin brothers.

"Although the owner of the Penglai Pavilion is the Shen family, it may not be accurate to say that the Penglai Pavilion is the Shen family." Hao Wen said, "Like the group just now, only the Nascent Soul cultivator and the pair of twins are serious. The Shen family, and the rest, although they also belong to the Penglai Pavilion, have nothing to do with the Shen family."

"That Nascent Soul cultivator is Shen Xitong, the Patriarch of the Shen family?" Qing Shi asked.

"Exactly." Shen Shenzhou nodded.

——Then these twins are indeed Shen Shenzhou's younger brother and Shen Xitong's grandson.

——Isn't it a little faster to enter the country than Shen Chenzhou!

Qing Shi pouted, turned and walked back into the house.

Not long after the people from Penglai Pavilion moved into the inn, a high-ranking monk from Danmen also appeared in the sky above Jinbi City.The high-ranking monks who appeared one after another immediately plunged the entire Jinbi City into tension and panic, and the city lord Chen Chuandao couldn't help but greeted him personally from the city lord's mansion.It's just that the people in the Dan Sect didn't seem to want to stay in his City Lord's Mansion, they just greeted him politely, and then they went straight into the city, and stayed in Qingshi's inn just like the Penglai Pavilion that came before.

Perhaps because of the good location of this inn, most of the monks who arrived after that chose to stay here.Soon, the courtyards around Qing Shi and the others were fully occupied, and even the guest rooms in front of the inn were occupied by monks.

At noon the next day, after the Penglai Pavilion, Danmen, Wangyunzong and other sects' fairy sects appeared one by one, Jinbi City finally ushered in the most popular Xianchumen and his party in the upper world. It was Han Shuo who was called the first god of transformation.

Compared with other fairy sects, the number of visitors from Xian Chumen is obviously much less, and there are only four people and one beast in total, all of whom are easily recognized.In addition to Han Shuo, the four of them also included Ruan Xixianjun, a disciple of Zhenjun Hengchu, Xia Yuchuan, a young Jindan cultivator, and Guan Ruhai, the master of the First Peak Spirit Artifact Hall.As for the beast, it was naturally Wang Shuo. It had regrown its scales and horns, and it was still black with gold, but its luster was better than before. Standing beside Han Shuo was very majestic.

——It doesn't look like I've been seriously injured before!

Seeing Han Shuo's stern but energetic face, Qing Shi couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

But even if he had doubts, Qingshi didn't dare to go out to ask for clarification, even the window was only opened a gap, and he held his breath to look out, provoking Hao who was sitting behind him couldn't help but sneer.

"I said sweetheart, are you so afraid of him?" Hao Wen got up and walked to Qingshi's side, and opened the window a little more.

Qing Shi immediately backed away, away from the window.Although he didn't want to be discovered by Han Shuo, he couldn't say that he was afraid. The problem was that Han Shuo was still following Wang Shuo. This guy had bright eyes and a good nose, so he could easily be picked out from the crowd.It's just that there's no need to tell Hao Wen these words, even if he said them, he would only take them as guilt-ridden words, causing more boring ridicule.

Fortunately, Qingshi's luck is pretty good, maybe this inn is already full, Xian Chumen and his party only stayed in the sky above Jinbi City for a while, and then flew to a house a little far away, not like Wangyun. Zong and Danmen came here to settle down.

"It's a pity that Xianjun Yanxi is not with Han Zhenjun!" Seeing Xian Chumen and his party disappear from sight, Hao Wen said pretendingly disappointed.

"Indeed." Qing Shi replied casually, but wondered why Wei Ming was not seen among these people.Although he had seen a real monarch from Danmen before, it was Yin Takize who had only met once at Wei Ming's God Transformation Ceremony. He thought that Wei Ming had mixed up with Han Shuo again, but when he saw him now, he didn't know. It was discovered that Han Shuo was only surrounded by disciples of Xianchumen.

——These two won't break up too, will they?

Qing Shi touched his nose, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

Noticing his absent-mindedness, Hao Wen immediately raised the corners of his mouth and reached out to support Qing Shi's shoulders, "Darling, I'll go out and find out, you wait for me in the yard obediently, don't—oh——"

Before he finished speaking, Qingshi had already noticed his small movements, and immediately grabbed his middle finger and snapped it back heavily, causing Hao Wen to scream in pain.

Qing didn't even think about breaking off his fingers, but let him go after suffering, and said coldly, "Don't seek abuse for nothing."

"What my heart gives, even if it hurts, I'm willing to accept it." Hao Wen replied with a smile while rubbing his fingers.

"Okay, next time I'm going to order a seven-step walk, so that you can completely enjoy it." Qingshi rolled his eyes.

"My dear, don't be so cruel!" Hao Wen moved his head closer, obviously wanting to steal another sweet kiss, but unfortunately he was even more guarded, he didn't find a chance to speak, so he sighed helplessly, " Alright, alright, I will go to business first, and I will continue to be tender with you when I come back."

Now Qing Shi has been numb by Hao Wen's tiresome and crooked words, he just curled his lips and ignored him.

Seeing that Qing Shi didn't accept the trick at all, Hao Wen felt bored, and didn't say much, just shrugged and went on his own.

Hao Wen went there for several hours, and when he came back, it was past noon.

"Do you want to go to the City Lord's Mansion with me at night?" Hao Wen asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

"What are you going to do?" Qing Shi asked back.

"Tonight, the city lord of Jinbi City invited all the senior monks in the city to attend a banquet. I also received an invitation card." Hao Wen took out a gold-covered invitation card and handed it to Qingshi.

Qing Shi didn't reach out to pick it up, but glanced sideways, and said calmly, "The person I want to see will go too?"

"That's right." Hao Wen nodded, and took the invitation back, "Yan Xi came here to keep a low profile, but he chose the same place to live as Xian Trumen... Cough cough, with his performance in the past few years, today I will definitely not miss the evening banquet."

——But according to Han Shuo's habit, it is not necessary to attend this kind of banquet.

Qing Shi thought for a while and said, "I'll go, but I won't go with you."

Hao Wen was slightly taken aback, and frowned, "If you go by yourself, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through the door."

"How tight can a Jindan cultivator's mansion be?" Qing Qing curled her lips in disdain.

"But why do you take the risk?" Hao Wen said disapprovingly, "I'll just change your appearance for you, so no one will recognize you."

"Believe it or not, even if I scratch my face, Han Shuo can still recognize me at a glance." Qing Shi said calmly.

A strange look flashed across Hao Wen's face, "He knows you so well?"

——He is not familiar with me, he is familiar with Wuyou.

Qing Shi thought so in his heart, but said, "It's not that you don't know the relationship between me and him. You have rolled on the bed with bare buttocks for countless times. Naturally, you are more familiar with your body than your face."

"Is that so?" Hao Wen rubbed his chin, and suddenly leaned in front of Qing Shi, and said with a smile, "Actually, we can get a little more familiar, don't you think?"

"You want to court death again, don't you?" Qing Shi asked indifferently.

"I'm not joking." Hao Wen stared into Qingshi's eyes and said very seriously, "If you don't want to be inferior, I'll let you be on top. Speaking of which, no one has cultivated my backyard flower Virgin land, the taste must be indescribable, and I will guarantee that you will not be disappointed."

Hearing Hao Wen's words, Qing Shi's thick skin couldn't help showing off his skills, and he twitched the corner of his mouth before saying, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't be hard on that place."

"Oh?" Hao Wen immediately raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that you were forced by Han Shuo to have a good relationship with him? Could it be that this is why you left Xiantrumen?"

—Why should I discuss such things with you? !

Qing Shi couldn't help becoming a little annoyed, squinted his eyes, and said coldly, "Don't Hao Xianjun feel that he is a little meddling?"

"How can it be a matter of nosy? You are the person I like, and it is my duty to care about you." Hao Wen said solemnly.

"Thank you for your kindness." Qingshi really didn't want to continue chatting with Hao Wen, got up and said, "If Hao Xianjun must be so entangled like this, then I can only say goodbye and never see each other again."

"Don't, don't!" Hao Wen hurriedly stopped him, "Can't I never mention this again?"

"I'm afraid I don't say it, but I think it in my heart." Qing Shi said seriously, "I don't know why I got Hao Xianjun's favor, but I really can't accept this kindness. There are people in this world who are more beautiful than me. Good man, Hao Xianjun doesn't need to waste time on me."

"Of course there are people better than you in this world, but there is only one of you." Hao Wen said to himself, and then he laughed again, "You don't have to be so serious, business can't be benevolent, and we can't be lovers You can be friends too!"

Qing Shi glanced at Hao Wen, and said mockingly, "I hope Hao Xianjun is not deceiving himself."

"Young brother, please call me Brother Hao. It's too unfamiliar for a fairy to come and go." Hao Wen immediately changed his voice and made a new request.

Qing was noncommittal, but did not insist on leaving, turned around and sat down on the chair again, and said lightly, "Since the words have been spoken, it is better to speak thoroughly. Actually, I don't want to break up with you, but I beg What I value is not some illusory friendship. What I value is the benefits you can bring to me——your connections, your channels, are all that I lack and need. Of course, I will not borrow from you for nothing, but The only thing I can pay you back is benefits, tangible benefits that can be seen and touched."

"Young brother, you really know how to hurt people." Hao Wen had a wry smile on his lips.

"I think, if I pretend to be ignorant while pretending to be ignorant, that would be the real hurt." Qingshi said seriously, "I won't promise what I can't give, but as long as it's what I can give , I will not be stingy."

Hao Wen stared at Qing Shi intently, and after a while he spoke again, "Let me ask one last question."

"Say." Qing Shi tilted his head.

"Why did you want to be Han Shuo's pillow and why did you leave him?" Hao Wen asked word by word.

"Your question is not 'one'." Qingshi smiled lightly, but did not refuse to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, if I have to find a reason, I can only say that this is just a matter of time. , fate, luck, that’s all.”

"Isn't this answer too perfunctory?" Hao Wen frowned.

"But it's the most real." Qing Shi shrugged, "Well, to put it bluntly, I met the wrong person at the wrong time, and then the wrong thing happened, and I was powerless to correct the mistake, so I just I can live with the situation. As for later, I finally found an opportunity and a way to get everything back on track, and then I did that.”

"That is to say, you are ruthless to him at all?" Hao Wen's eyes revealed a gleam.

"You can't say that." Qingshi laughed teasingly, "As the saying goes, a husband and wife a day is a hundred days of kindness. Although he and I are not husband and wife, we are also married. At least, I don't hate him. Don't blame him either."

Hao Wen was speechless all of a sudden, and there was a little more depression in his eyes.

Qing Shi had lost the patience to coax him, so he continued, "I said, can we stop talking about love? My nature is cold and I'm used to being selfish. To this kind of floating clouds in the sky If you really want to make friends with me, it’s better to be pragmatic, if you plan to play some tricks of exchanging the truth for the truth—sorry, I will only suspect that you have no sincerity at all.”

"...I understand." Hao Wen laughed again, "I will show you my sincerity."

Qingshi glanced at Hao Wen expressionlessly, but didn't respond.

That night, because Qingshi insisted on going to the city lord's mansion by himself, Hao Wen couldn't stop him, so he could only take out a small porcelain bottle and hand it over, "It's filled with trace incense, if you encounter danger, just sprinkle it If you are on me, I will go to find you."

Qing Shi took the porcelain bottle and swept it under his nose, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Is this the kind that you sprinkled on me when I went to your residence that year?"

"Exactly." Hao Wen nodded with a smile.

"Then, this is the third time I've seen this thing." Qing Shi squinted at Hao Wen, "It's the second time you sprinkled it on me. The first time was when I went to Wuxia Wonderland."

Hao Wen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "So She Ji bought this thing to use on you."

"Sure enough, you sold it to him." Qing Shi narrowed his eyes.

"How could I trade with him at the risk of revealing my identity?" Hao Wen smiled and waved his hands, "I am only responsible for bringing the supply of goods to Xiantrumen, and of course there are other people who come forward to trade."

"The matter of She Ji's practice of evil methods is probably related to you, no, it has something to do with your Jiuliu League?" Qing Shi continued to ask.

Hao Wen smiled, spread his hands and said, "Jiuliumeng is actually a grocery store. If someone wants to buy it, we will sell it, regardless of the reason or the result."

"I see." Qing Shi nodded, "Then, maybe we have a time to trade."

"Then you should hurry up." Hao Wen said, "As soon as the things here are over, I will probably leave the Jiuliu League and find another way of life."

"Is it possible for Jiuliumeng to leave if they want to?" Qing Shi asked pointedly.

"Others may not be able to, but I can." Hao Wen's answer is also meaningful.

Qingshi sized Hao Wen up a few times, didn't ask any further questions, just shrugged his shoulders, and then left the room.

Qing Shi set off one step earlier than Hao Wen, but when Hao Wen entered the City Lord's Mansion through the main entrance, Qing Shi was still wandering outside the wall.

The reason why Qing Shi insisted on coming to the City Lord's Mansion alone was that there were reasons to avoid people's eyes, but more because he wanted to find out whether the entrance to the underground palace under the city was within the City Lord's Mansion.After all, secret places are usually placed in confidential places. As far as the location of the City Lord's Mansion is concerned, it doesn't look like a building added later, at most it was renovated and added.

Turning around the city lord's mansion a few times, Qingshi probably had some hesitation, and then blocked a gap in the restriction on the wall, and jumped in.

Because the city lord Chen Chuan is only a golden core monk, the security in the city lord's mansion is not strict, and in addition to the fact that there are so many high-ranking people in Jinbi City today, the city lord's mansion must be a bit broken, even the patrolling guards There was no arrangement at all, only a few secret whistles were set up in the courtyard where the female relatives lived.

Qing Shi originally wanted to find out the entrance of the underground palace, but after entering the city lord's mansion, he couldn't help but want to go to the place where the banquet was held to see the excitement.After secretly evaluating, Qingshi felt that the possibility of Han Shuo coming was very slim, so he followed the music and the maid holding the tray to find it, and soon found the location of the dinner party - the back garden.

I don't know what the city lord Chen Chuan thought, but he didn't lead the guests into the inner hall. Instead, he put tables and chairs in the open garden, surrounded by flowers and brightly lit, which is quite interesting.

However, Qingshi had no intention of admiring the scenery anymore. He had just poked his head out from the garden wall and saw Han Shuo on the first seat. He was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head back, secretly glad that he was hidden. The wall that climbed up only after breathing.

Standing under the courtyard wall and taking a deep breath, Qingshi finally mustered up the courage to climb up again, and carefully looked towards the banquet place under the cover of the flowers and branches by the wall.

Although Han Shuo sat at the head of the table, his face was freezing cold. On the left was Immortal Ruan Xi, and on the right was the follower Wang Shuo.Wangshuo is now a high-ranking spirit beast of the Nascent Soul class, and it is justifiable and justifiable to occupy a seat at this kind of banquet.At this moment, this foodie is drinking the wine in front of him with gusto, and sucking two spiritual fruits from the fruit plate next to him from time to time.

Qing Shi swept his eyes, and quickly found the face that was exactly the same as Wuyou from another table. This person was not next to Han Shuo, but sat with Wang Yunzong.

Thinking of the weird relationship between Xian Chumen and Wangyun Zong, as well as Yinyan's geographical location in the southwest, Qing Shi vaguely understood the key reason why this person was not favored by Han Shuo—no one else, and the interests of the sect—Worriless Although his reputation was not good back then, Han Shuo's contacts with him did not affect the actual interests of Xiantrumen.

Thinking of this, Qingshi couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, and was about to look again at where Hao Wen was sitting, but just as he turned his head, his eyes met a pair of golden animal eyes.
