The incident happened suddenly and everyone was shocked!
Qiqi was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what happened.
Qianye's cold voice was heard saying indifferently: "I am a civilian, only level four, so what? Don't you want to teach me, a bastard from the slums, a lesson? Then stand up and continue!"
The young man's limbs twitched and he struggled to get up several times, but finally fell to the ground and fainted.
The empire's martial arts style is very strong, and duels at banquets are not uncommon. After being surprised, most of the first people to burst into cheers were young girls, with fiery, bold and shining eyes. Most of the young nobles had hesitant expressions on their faces.
Chikila's hatred had not subsided when she entered the door. Now when they heard that Qianye was just a commoner, most people felt offended.
Qianye raised his right arm. The tight-fitting dress was really in the way. He simply pulled off the gem cufflinks and unbuttoned his shirt. Then he glanced at the companions who were standing with the young man just now and said coldly: "
Who else is coming?"
Qiqi's eyes flashed, as if she was looking forward to a good show. Yuan Zeyu shook his head and said nothing.
The young men froze on the spot, looking uneasily at their fallen comrades and then at Qianye, not knowing how to respond for a moment. The comrades who were knocked to the ground by a punch were level five combat soldiers, no.
But the ones with the highest rank among them were also the most powerful. The young people couldn't understand why their companions lost so quickly, but at least they knew that it would be for nothing if they replaced themselves.
At this time, angry voices sounded from the crowd on the south side of the hall, and a noble young man shouted: "This is not a place where you, a mere fourth-level soldier, can act arrogantly? If I teach you a lesson, I believe Miss Qiqi can understand it."
of!"
Qianye raised his eyes and said directly: "Then come!"
The young man was so angry that he took a big step forward. Suddenly, a hand pressed his shoulder and he could no longer move. He looked back and was shocked: "Cousin?"
Appearing next to him was a slightly older aristocratic young man with a similar appearance to him. The latter first nodded to Qianye from afar, then turned his head and scolded coldly: "You have made progress, the sixth level is against the fourth level.
Level? Humph! Do you want to embarrass our Shen family?" After he finished speaking, he dragged the impulsive noble young man back into the crowd with a strong hand.
Qiqi upstairs whistled and said, "Shen Rongan is really a fox! Although his clan brother is at level six and is going to end, he may not be able to beat my little Qianye!"
Yuan Zeyu nodded slowly and said: "The little guy you brought is extremely powerful, and it is indeed rare that his force power has been condensed to such an extent. I am afraid that ordinary sixth-level soldiers are really no match for him if they are a little careless.
"
The hall below was completely deserted.
Shen Rong'an's move to take away his own clan brother poured cold water on many hot-headed aristocratic young people who were eager to try.
Most of the people who can participate in the city lord's banquet are not idiots. Qianye's punch just now was so fierce and violent that all the fifth-level soldiers were defeated by one blow. And the guy who fell to the ground was not the kind of parallel import with empty force. In this sect,
In a crowded place, how can someone with no self-confidence rush to stir up trouble?
Those at level 5 no longer dare to leave the field, and if a level 6 soldier leaves the field, it will be too embarrassing no matter whether he wins or loses.
Qiqi smiled and said: "Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry for messing up your banquet. I'll apologize to you some other time!" Although she said this, her face was full of joy, and she looked at the companion who had just been killed under the wall.
They lifted up the young man.
Yuan Zeyu smiled bitterly. He also recognized that the person who was knocked unconscious by Qianye was Ye Mulan's cousin. Fortunately, Ye Mulan was already angry with Qiqi. Otherwise, there would be another conflict, and the situation would not be good at that time.
Cleaned up.
After a while, Qiqi took Qianye to leave early. After getting into the silver car, Qiqi immediately asked happily about the cause.
The matter was actually very simple. When everyone couldn't find out anything substantial from Qianye, Ye Mulan's cousin suddenly appeared. He had obviously gotten the news from a certain channel, and he opened his mouth to ask Qianye.
Is the night a common people?
For Qianye, he didn't have to disclose his information, but he didn't intend to lie about it, so he admitted it frankly.
Ye Mulan's cousin immediately mocked Qianye mercilessly, saying that a poor guy from a slum could only earn a living with his face, and he didn't know how much Qiqi had eaten with this fourth-level force.
I got it with medicine.
Qianye felt that there was no need to talk to such a person, so he just asked coldly: "Do you think you are strong?"
The young man, who is a fifth-level soldier, sneered and replied: "Of course! What, you want to try a fight?"
"good."
Then Qianye raised his energy, gathered strength, and punched out. He was as heavy as a mountain and faster than lightning. He knocked the young man unconscious with one punch. If Qianye hadn't withdrawn his strength in time and didn't attack the vital part, he would have just punched the young man.
A punch could knock that young man into a near-death state.
Qianye said it simply, but Qiqi obviously didn't hear enough and continued to ask: "That's it? There must be more than that! You got into a fight at the dinner! What else did he say?"
Qianye smiled bitterly: "He said I was a bastard who came out of the slums."
"This" Qiqi didn't understand. This was just an ordinary curse word. Why did Qianye's reaction be so big?
Qianye was silent for a moment and said, "I grew up in a garbage dump and never knew who my parents were."
The smile on Qiqi's face suddenly faded, and then gradually expanded, like spring flowers blooming, she said with a half-smile: "No matter how much, you made me very happy tonight, so there will be a reward. Close your eyes!"
Qianye closed his eyes for no apparent reason. Suddenly, a fragrant wind hit his nose, and he felt a warmth, softness, and wetness on the left side of his face, as if he had been kissed!
This small incident on the return journey was quickly forgotten by Qianye. This young lady, whose personality, habits and even orientation were different from ordinary people, no longer surprised him no matter what she did.
For a young lady of her status, everything comes too easily, so in order to pursue excitement, she often has quirks of one kind or another. However, Qianye feels that her personal hobbies have nothing to do with him, and all he needs to do is complete the task well.
I am worthy of the generous remuneration I received.
Qianye spent four days ahead of schedule to complete basic etiquette training. There were no new instructions from Qiqi, so he divided his daily schedule into two categories: training and battlefield analysis.
In the following days, Qianye used up all the potions, but there was still a long way to go before reaching level five. During this period, Qianye only met Qiqi once. She suddenly asked if she still needed potions. I don’t know if she noticed that
He used a sufficient dose but did not ignite new force nodes, or just mentioned it casually. However, Qianye refused, he did not want to get too much that he did not deserve.
In his spare time while practicing, Qianye continued to read information and soon had a general understanding of the area around Xichang City.
Near noon that day, Ji Yuanjia came to Qianye's residence and invited him out to have lunch.
Qianye happened to also want to know more about Qiqi's assessment mission, because he had already started planning to go to the battlefield, so he readily agreed and followed Ji Yuanjia to the 'Tongque Terrace' restaurant in the city.
This is a magnificent retro building with a ten-foot-high platform and five floors. The windows and doors are decorated with brass inlays. When the sun is at its peak at noon, the stream of light shines brightly.
The two sides of the high platform are wide enough to land small aeroboats. The water from the river under the platform is stored in the sky pool on the roof through a secret channel, and then leaks from the side wall, creating a spectacular scene of waterfalls and splashing jade. It is said that the chef of this restaurant
And many ingredients are shipped from the upper continent, and the price is even more expensive than the upper continent.
Ji Yuanjia parked the off-road vehicle and walked towards the gate with Qianye. He said with a smile: "The quality here is truly upper continent, and of course the price is too. So you can't let go and eat for a while, otherwise I will
I won’t be able to pay the bill.”
Qianye smiled slightly and had a better impression of Ji Yuanjia. He liked to deal with people who spoke directly and straightforwardly.
The two chose a seat by the window and sat down, with the waterfall right in front of them. Due to the good sound insulation design, there was only a little rumble that seemed to come from far away, which not only created an artistic conception, but also did not affect the conversation between the guests.
After the waiter brought the menu, Qianye flipped through it and realized how expensive this place was. Even the cheapest dish cost one gold coin, while the more expensive ones cost three digits. In other words, a medium-sized dish cost a gold coin.
Half a year's salary from school is gone just by ordering a big dish.
Qianye only ordered the two cheapest dishes and put down the menu, but Ji Yuanjia was actually much more generous than he said, and added three or four special dishes from the restaurant. This meal would definitely blow his mind.
One month's salary was eaten up.
When the food was served, Qianye realized what upper continent quality meant. The portion of the food was incredibly small, but it was also incredibly delicate.
The main dish is originally a fish, but it is made into the shape of a dragon head, and the dinner plate is decorated with a sea of clouds. This is a genuine hand-painted sea of clouds, in the style of ink, and even a guy like Qianye who doesn't know how to draw can see the layout.
The extraordinary momentum of the brushstrokes. Just for this reason, the person decorating the dinner plate is an accomplished painter.
"How do you feel?" Ji Yuanjia asked with a smile.
"I think the decoration on the plate is more expensive than the food." Qianye said honestly.
Ji Yuanjia smiled and said: "It was the same as my initial thought, but later I realized that the food is actually more expensive."
Qianye looked at the dishes that looked like paintings and calligraphy, and said with a wry smile: "Now I know why I can't just eat it. This little thing is not enough to make a base."
Ji Yuanjia smiled even more cheerfully and said: "For us, the meaning of going to this place is just to experience it. What we have eaten is more important than how we tasted it. At least in the future, we will not be confused because we know nothing about it."
Being laughed at.”
"Why are you being laughed at?" Qianye was a little confused.
Ji Yuanjia said with a hint of self-deprecation: "Because I am from a humble family, and you are a commoner. Although a humble family is a little better than a commoner, in the eyes of the nobles, we are all the same. For those nobles, the evaluation of a person is
The standard is very simple: those above and those below. Those above need to be fawned over, while those below are not as good as them. So in their eyes, there is no difference between poor families and poor people, because we are not as good as the gentry."
This is a very powerful logic, which makes Qianye feel like his eyes have been opened.
"Do you know why I invited you here for dinner?"
"Why?"
"Because at the banquet that day, your punch was so damn satisfying!" Ji Yuanjia, who has always been gentle and elegant, also used a rare swear word.
"That person has a grudge against you?" Qianye asked doubtfully.
Ji Yuanjia let out a heavy breath and said: "There is no question of having a grudge. Later you will understand how disgusting those people are. Come on, do it first!"
The two of them went back and forth and quickly drank a bottle of wine. Qianye's face was slightly red and his movements were obviously sluggish, while Ji Yuanjia also had a flush on his face. It seemed that his drinking capacity was not particularly good.
.
Ji Yuanjia shook the empty wine bottle and shouted, "Two more bottles!"
The waiter quickly delivered it. The rice wine here is really good, and what’s more rare is that it’s not expensive. The price of one gold coin per bottle is simply too fair for this place.
"Qianye, do you have a woman?" Ji Yuanjia suddenly asked.
"No, what?" Qianye asked inexplicably.
"Ah, it's nothing. I just asked casually."
Ji Yuanjia casually brushed it off. He originally wanted to introduce some good girls he knew to Qianye. As Qiqi's real lieutenant, he certainly knew that Qianye's lover's identity was fake.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the unusually obvious lip mark on Qianye's cheek when he got out of the car the night he returned from the banquet to the Yin Family Courtyard. The light blue-purple color was Qiqi's favorite color.
Special color, Ji Yuanjia will never mistake it.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanjia couldn't help but feel slight twitching and pain in his heart. He immediately suppressed this small unpleasantness and threw the lip mark into the corner of his heart.
But he also woke up a little bit. Although Qiqi may have just found a new toy temporarily and will abandon it after a while, Ji Yuanjia will not introduce girls to Qianye while her novelty has not faded.
stupid things.
Qianye looked at Ji Yuanjia who suddenly became distracted with some strangeness.
"Qianye, Miss Qiqi is the most cherished kind of woman. If there is a chance, it is worth fighting for. Do you understand what I mean?" Ji Yuanjia said it very straightforwardly this time.
Qianye frowned slightly and said, "This is just a task for me. Besides, the status gap between her and me is really too big, so there is no possibility."
"Are you the kind of person who cares about the gap in status?"
"Yes." Qianye smiled.
Ji Yuanjia shrugged. If Qianye cared about his status, he wouldn't have punched that noble boy in the face at the dinner. But for many people, Qi Dafei was a threshold that they couldn't cross.
Same thing.
"Aha! Guess who I saw? Isn't this Miss Qiqi's new little pet?" A sinister voice came from the side.
