Yuan Luoxi and the others could clearly feel the dissatisfaction in Zhang Yuanxing's tone, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
This guy is too brave. How dare he talk to Master Su Xian like this?
Immediately, they vaguely realized that Zhang Yuanxing probably didn't know Master Su's ability yet, just like when they first met Su Yi...
Yuan Luoxi's beautiful eyes had a strange color, and she felt indescribable shyness and discomfort in her heart.
When I first faced Master Su Xian, I was much more arrogant than Zhang Yuanxing. Thinking about it now, I was really stupid at that time...
Cheng Wuyong coughed dryly and explained: "Young Master Zhang misunderstood, we are just traveling with Mr. Su... Mr. Su."
While talking, he suddenly remembered Su Yi's previous reminder not to reveal what happened on Guimu Ridge, so he wittily changed his address to Su Yi from "immortal master" to "gongzi".
"Really?"
Zhang Yuanxing was startled, as if he didn't believe it.
"Zhang Yuanxing, do you need to take care of our affairs with Mr. Su? I would like to ask, why are you here?"
Yuan Luoxi frowned and asked coldly.
Zhang Yuanxing quickly smiled and said: "Miss Luo Xi, I heard that you have also come to Guangling City, so I made some inquiries and learned that you had taken people to Guimu Ridge yesterday, so you have been waiting here."
Yuan Luoxi looked cold, "You, the majestic eldest son of the Zhang family, what are you waiting for me for? If you have nothing else to do, get out of the way!"
In Yunhe County, the Yuan family, like the Zhang family, is ranked among the four top forces.
No matter in terms of status or cultivation, Yuan Luoxi is no worse than Zhang Yuanxing, and is even better.
When she faced Zhang Yuanxing, she would not be polite.
Zhang Yuanxing's face was slightly stiff, and he was quite puzzled. Yuan Luoxi was not so impatient when he saw him before!
What's going on here?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yuan Luoxi turning to look at Su Yi, with a hint of anxiety and expectation on her pretty face, and said softly:
"Su... Mr. Su, do you want to go to the city to eat something together?"
Zhang Yuanxing's pupils suddenly shrank, and doubts arose in his heart. What is going on?
Cheng Wuyong also smiled and said: "Yes, this time in Guimuling, thanks to the help of Young Master and Mr. Guo, we got the elixir. Now that we are in the city, we should arrange the banquet.
Let’s express our feelings.”
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanxing was so shocked that he almost opened his mouth.
He knows best that Cheng Wuyong is the outer elder of the Yuan family, a top-notch Dzogchen being in the Qi Gathering Realm.
In terms of status, he is not inferior to Uncle Xiong beside him.
But now, even Cheng Wuyong is so polite to Su Yi. How can this not surprise Zhang Yuanxing?
"That's fine."
Su Yi nodded in agreement.
It was now dawn, it was early morning, and he felt hungry in his stomach.
Yuan Luoxi suddenly showed a bright and charming smile and said happily: "That's great, let's go quickly. I heard that Juxian Tower is the number one restaurant in Guangling City, let's go there!"
"Mr. Guo is going too."
Cheng Wuyong smiled and said to Guo Bing.
Guo Bing quickly clasped his fists and said, "This is my blessing!"
Immediately, the group of people headed inside the city gate.
From the beginning to the end, no one paid any attention to Zhang Yuanxing.
"Uncle Xiong, do you see what's going on?"
Zhang Yuanxing frowned, feeling quite unhappy. Just now, he, the dignified young master of the Zhang family, was ignored! "Have you not mentioned the news that the young master inquired about yesterday? When Yuan Luoxi found Guo Bing, the herb collector,
, Su Yi is also here, and sets off with them to Guimu Ridge."
Uncle Xiong, who was wearing a black round hat, said thoughtfully, "Looking at the situation now, it was Su Yi and Guo Bing who helped Yuan Luo Xi find the elixir he wanted, so they are so grateful, right?"
"That's right! It seems I've thought too much!"
Zhang Yuanxing clapped his hands, seeming to open up the knot in his heart. The gloom between his brows was swept away, and he smiled and said: "Uncle Xiong, let's go, let's go to Juxian Tower too!"
He became high-spirited and high-spirited again.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Xiong couldn't help but remind him: "Young Master, Yuan Luoxi is the most doted daughter of the Yuan clan leader, and her grandfather is the world-famous 'Jingyuan Marquis' Gu Chenfeng, who is famous for his violent temper.
The Marquis once said personally that before Yuan Luoxi turns 18, anyone who dares to have an idea of her will have their three legs broken."
Zhang Yuanxing's expression froze, and he unconsciously crossed his legs and said: "What are you afraid of? I'm just making friends with her. If there is a chance of marrying a matchmaker, I will wait until she is eighteen years old."
Xiong Bo said: "But Master, you also know that Yuan Luoxi has been doted on since childhood and has an arrogant and unruly temperament. If you want to pursue her... you must be mentally prepared in advance."
Zhang Yuanxing nodded and said enthusiastically: "What I admire most is the wildness in her, like a little wild horse, which makes people want to conquer..."
Uncle Xiong stopped trying to persuade me.
He is someone who has experienced this before and knows that young people will not back down from pursuing a woman unless they are given the opportunity to do something wrong.
Juxian Tower.
Since it was early in the morning, it was deserted and there were not many customers.
But when he learned that the eldest lady of Yunhe County, Yuan Luoxi, had come to dine, Yue Tianhe, the owner of Juxian Tower, immediately struggled to get up from his concubine's soft and fragrant snow-white arms, and arrived as quickly as possible.
Juxian Tower.
Asking the servant to bring out the aged wine that had been collected for many years, Yue Tianhe followed a serving maid and walked into a private room on the second floor.
With a warm smile on his face, he was about to bow and introduce himself, but he was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:
"Su...Su Yi?"
In the huge private room, there were only four people sitting, Su Yi, Guo Bing, Yuan Luoxi and Cheng Wuyong.
But Su Yi sat at the top calmly!
This scene almost shocked Yue Tianhe's jaw.
Of course he knew about Su Yi, far better than the average person. This young man was not just an ordinary son-in-law of the Wen family. People like the city lord Fu Shan and the commander of the imperial guard Nie Beihu respected him.
At the Dragon Gate Banquet a few days ago, the news that Su Yi won the first place in the Dragon Gate Competition has already spread throughout Guangling City. How could Yue Tianhe not know about it?
But he still didn't expect that the eldest lady from the Yuan family, the top power in Yunhe County, would entertain Su Yi so early in the morning!
For a moment, Yue Tianhe almost forgot the words he had prepared earlier.
"Who are you?"
Yuan Luoxi asked if she recognized Yue Tianhe.
Yue Tianhe was excited, bowed quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Yuan, I am the shopkeeper of Juxian Tower. I heard that you are here, so I came here to bring you a pot of good wine. I am not being respectful."
After saying that, he handed over the wine in his hand.
Yuan Luoxi snorted and said, "Do you also recognize Mr. Su... Mr. Su?"
Yue Tianhe hurriedly said: "How could a youngster like Master Su not know such a handsome young man? He is the number one celebrity in our Guangling City, and Yue Mou admires him very much..."
He talked non-stop and praised Su Yi enthusiastically to show that he had a good relationship with Su Yi.
Seeing Su Yi's cold expression, Cheng Wuyong saw some clues, coughed dryly, and interrupted: "Okay, you can go down first."
Yue Tianhe left as soon as he was satisfied, nodded repeatedly, and did not forget to say hello to Su Yi before leaving, "Mr. Su, if you have any orders, just say hello. The young one is waiting downstairs and will be at your disposal at any time."
"This guy is really a piece of meat."
Su Yi chuckled.
Others laughed too.
All in all, the dining atmosphere was good.
Returning to the counter on the first floor, Yue Tianhe was still in a daze, with only one thought in his mind -
When did Su Yi climb the high branches of the Yuan family in Yunhe County?
"Shopkeeper, in which private room is Miss Yuan Luoxi from the Yuan family?"
A clear voice suddenly sounded.
Yue Tianhe raised his eyes, and when he saw the person coming clearly, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, stepped forward, and said with a flattering smile: "It turns out to be Master Zhang!"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Yuanxing. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Do you recognize me?"
Yue Tianhe smiled warmly and said: "Yesterday, I went to the City Lord's Mansion to deliver wine, and I was lucky enough to see Master Zhang from a distance. Your unparalleled style at that time made me never forget it, so as soon as you came, I was instantly impressed.
I recognize you."
Zhang Yuanxing felt comfortable because of this flattery, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, take me to see Miss Luo Xi quickly."
Yue Tianhe hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, making a fuss.
Zhang Yuanxing and Xiong Bo followed him.
Before arriving at the private room, Zhang Yuanxing straightened his clothes and silently thought about the words he had prepared before arriving.
Then, he pushed open the door, faced the astonished eyes of Yuan Luoxi and the others, held his hands apologetically, and said with a smile:
"Luo Xi, I misunderstood Mr. Su just now, so I came here to apologize to him. Luo Xi, you can't chase me away."
This was the wording he prepared, using Su Yi as the starting point, thus cleverly avoiding the possibility of being rejected by Yuan Luoxi and refusing to participate in this banquet.
Sure enough, Yuan Luoxi's expression softened.
This made Zhang Yuanxing feel proud of his own methods, but also felt a trace of unspeakable irritation.
Why is Su Yi so easy to do in front of Luo Xi?
"You said you wanted to apologize to me?"
Su Yi looked strange.
Zhang Yuanxing took the initiative to step forward and help him and Uncle Xiong find a place to sit down. Then he said with a smile: "I misunderstood before and thought that Mr. Su had defected to the Yuan family, but I didn't expect that Mr. Su helped Luo this time.
It’s a big favor…”
He explained, picked up the drink, and said, "I'll punish myself with three drinks first!"
After drinking continuously, Zhang Yuanxing suddenly caught a glimpse of Yue Tianhe outside the private room. He couldn't help frowning and said: "Why don't you wink at all? Close the door and get out of here!"
Yue Tianhe trembled all over, quickly closed the door with a smile, and turned around.
But there was already a storm in his heart, and he felt a little lost until he returned to the counter on the first floor.
Being treated as a guest by the Miss Yuan family, and having the young master of the Zhang family personally come to apologize, when did Su Yi become such a popular favorite?
Yue Tianhe couldn't understand.
"I have worked hard for decades before I became the shopkeeper of Juxian Tower. How old is this guy? But he has spread his connections to the two top forces in Yunhe County... It's so damn... it's unreasonable.
!”
Compared with Su Yi, Yue Tianhe felt that he had been living like a dog these years.
