The setting sun was gradually fading, and the black sky had not yet completely covered the sky, but Guan Ping's mansion was already brightly lit.
The huge red candles, like dedicated guards, stood quietly on the candlestick three or four feet high, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.
In the spacious hall, there is a table carved from white jade. In the center of the table, a dozen gold plates are placed neatly and orderly like chess pieces.
Guan Ping sat at the white jade table, his eyes eager, as if he was waiting for someone.
After about a stick of incense, a man who looked like a housekeeper ran in in a hurry: "Elder, Ye Junlin is here."
When Guan Ping heard this, his originally calm face became filled with joy: "Please come quickly!"
The housekeeper responded and hurried out, but suddenly heard Guan Ping shouting again: "No need, I'll go there myself."
There was a look of doubt on the steward's face, and he secretly murmured in his heart: Who is it that the master can pay so much attention to? When the sect leader came before, he never saw the master treat him so grandly.
At the door of the Guan family's mansion, a young man's figure appeared.
The young man's eyebrows are very thick, slightly raised rebelliously, and under the long and slightly curled eyelashes, there are a pair of eyes as clear as clear springs. If it weren't for the cold aura exuding from his body, he would definitely be a man who would be attracted to.
handsome man......
There is no doubt that the young man is Ye Junlin. He wore a black military robe today and was invited to Guan Ping's mansion for a banquet. As for Guan Ping's purpose, I'm afraid it has already been Sima Zhao's heart - everyone on the road knows it.
"Guan is late to greet you, please forgive me, little friend Ye." Guan Ping blurted out the polite words when he saw Ye Junlin.
"Elder Guan is so polite. Jun Lin has just arrived." Ye Junlin said.
"Okay, okay, okay, little friend Ye, please come inside." Guan Ping said, leading Ye Junlin into the hall.
Ye Junlin's arrival made the servants and maids of Guan Mansion immediately busy: serving tea, pouring water, hot wine, serving dishes...it was a pleasure to be busy.
Ye Junlin looked at the brightly lit hall and the jade plate on the table, and couldn't help but secretly sigh: Those in high positions always try their best to exploit those in lower positions to satisfy their own enjoyment.
For a moment, his heart was suddenly touched, and the woman who abandoned him for glory and wealth appeared in his mind again.
Seeing Ye Junlin's face darken, Guan Ping thought it was because Ye Junlin was not satisfied with the food, so he quickly ordered the servant to move to another table.
"Elder Guan, there's no need. Jun Lin thinks the food on this table is quite good." Ye Junlin's face softened and he said calmly.
"If little friend Ye has any dissatisfaction, don't say it politely. I can still afford a table of meals!" Guan Ping said generously.
"It's quite rich, it's quite rich..." Ye Junlin praised repeatedly.
"Come on, Ye Xiaoyou, try this first." Guan Ping pointed at a gold plate and said.
"This is?" Ye Junlin looked at the colorful dishes on the golden plate and asked doubtfully.
"This is made from the nectar of the 'First-order Spiritual Grass' and 'Meili Flower'. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also increases the intensity of the profound energy in the body." Guan Ping introduced.
When he heard that it was something good for cultivation, Ye Junlin didn't hesitate at all and quickly took a chopstick and swallowed it.
A rich aroma, accompanied by a sweet taste, spread in Ye Junlin's mouth. Ye Junlin enjoyed the sweetness and finally swallowed it reluctantly.
A strong aura, like a naughty elf, immediately jumped to life in his Dantian.
Ye Junlin quickly closed his eyes and refined this energy.
Xiangyu's spiritual energy was refined by Ye Junlin in a short time. Ye Junlin opened his eyes and suddenly felt that the mysterious energy in his Dantian was indeed a bit stronger.
"It's really amazing." Ye Junlin praised.
"Eat more if you like it." Guan Ping saw a hint of joy on Ye Junlin's face, and quickly gave Ye Junlin a few more chopsticks.
Ye Junlin did not reject anyone who came, and he swallowed the whole plate of 'Plum Blossom Nectar' in just a few moments, and his profound energy became a little richer.
"Come on, try this again." Guan Ping also became happy. He held a cyan jade bottle in his hand and poured it into Ye Junlin's cup.
"This is brewed from the first-order spiritual grass, the fruit of the 'horse chestnut tree'. I named it 'Godly Brew'!"
The light blue liquid, like the nectar of the gods, slowly poured into Ye Junlin's cup.
A refreshing aroma instantly spread throughout the hall.
Ye Junlin didn't even think about it, grabbed the cup and drank it in one gulp.
The wine enters the sad intestines, three parts of profound energy, seven parts of flowing light, a beautiful mouth spits out, and the thick eyebrows are slightly raised.
"Good wine!" Ye Junlin shouted.
...
After three rounds of drinking, Guan Ping and Ye Junlin both had a slight blush on their faces.
Seeing the situation, Guan Ping stepped back and tentatively asked Ye Junlin: "Young friend Ye, do you know about the 'sect leader selection' three months from now?"
"I know." Ye Junlin drank another glass of 'Divine Brew' and said straight to the point: "Elder Guan, don't worry, Jun Lin will definitely remember how you treat me. In the 'Sect Master Selection' after March, I will definitely help you defeat everyone.
people."
Ye Junlin, drunk with wine and bold, said confidently.
"Okay!" Guan Ping laughed and said, "This is what I'm waiting for, little friend!"
After Guan Ping finished speaking, he laughed and drank another cup.
He didn't notice that there was a hint of cunning in Ye Junlin's eyes.
"Um, Elder Guan, Junlin's cultivation is acceptable, but the mysterious skills he knows are really..." Ye Junlin said with a confused look on his face.
"Don't worry, little friend, I'll take care of this!" After Guan Ping finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a scantily clad maid brought up a book of mysterious skills with a white cover.
Ye Junlin saw the mysterious skills on the white cover, and a greedy light shone in his eyes.
"This is the 'Huang Rank High Grade' sword-type mystical skill - "Iron-cutting Sword Technique". It is the highest-level mystical technique that I have in my possession." After Guan Ping finished speaking, he handed over "Iron-cutting Sword Technique".
Passed it to Ye Junlin.
Ye Junlin calmly put the mysterious skill into the space ring. He continued to cry and said: "The mysterious skill that Master Guan used last time, Jun Lin thought it was quite magical..."
Before Ye Junlin finished speaking, Guan Ping waved his hand again, and a book of mysterious skills with a brown cover was put into the space ring by Ye Junlin.
"Elder, do you think you can give Jun Lin another good sword?" Ye Junlin said.
"Little things!" Guan Ping, who was beaming with joy, took advantage of his drunkenness and presented Ye Junlin with a black iron epee that was an 'intermediate mysterious weapon'.
"Elder, please see if you can..."
...
During this meal, Ye Junlin was like a lion with a big mouth. He got a total of two mysterious skills from Guan Ping, one heavy sword, three 'first-order' spiritual herbs and five bottles of 'first-grade' elixirs.
medicine......
Ye Junlin, who was full of wine and food and had a good harvest, looked happy, stood up and said goodbye to Guan Ping.
In the darkness, a shadowy figure, like a poisonous snake, stared at Ye Junlin on his way home...
