Xu Qingnian and his party came to the market in the imperial city, but Hua Beibei's eyes never left the same place.
"Senior Xu, Senior Bai, why don't we go to this restaurant to have a rest first? Then we can discuss how to act?" After Hua Beibei said this, Xu Qingnian glanced sideways.
"Lucky to come to the tavern?"
"The name is quite nice. Master never drinks in the academy, so the disciples don't get to drink either. Since it's okay to go out and drink, let's go!"
Xu Qingnian raised his hand to let everyone in, but Bai Qinghe hesitated even half a step, looking very serious: "Old Xu, we came out of the academy with a very clear purpose. Why do you want to drink when you come out? Huabei Bei said to find someone.
You'd better have a place to rest, but you have to drink, how can we talk about things?"
Bai Qinghe's serious look made Mu Cangcang beside him smile: "Senior Bai, everything must be done step by step. If you are in such a hurry, there will be no good results. Although the imperial city is not big, what we are looking for is not just
Imperial City, if you want to find the entire Dongchu Continent, what’s the point of drinking some wine? Drink some, hehe, drink some.”
Huabeibei didn't listen to what they said, but went in directly.
Xu Qingnian looked at Bai Qinghe and waved his hand: "Bai Qinghe, don't dampen everyone's interest. It's just a drink. I remember that my young master brought me a lot of wine and that fragrant scallion pancake.
pity…."
Before Xu Qingnian finished speaking, Bai Qinghe's face immediately drooped, and he pointed at Xu Qingnian angrily and said: "You old Xu, I know you only think about your young master, so you drink, and you will kill me sooner or later.
I've been thinking about your young master all day long! Huh!"
"Let's go! Why are you standing there stupidly? Don't you want to drink? Just drink!"
Bai Qinghe shook his head helplessly and followed in. Hu Sanhai behind him didn't say a word, but just followed silently.
After arriving at the tavern, Hua Beibei found a corner and sat down, and waved to them.
Xu Qingnian looked at the counter for a long time, shook his head and said to himself: "Hey, there isn't even a scallion pancake, so what's the use of a nice name for a tavern."
When the waiter in the tavern heard what he said, he was a little unhappy. He put a towel on his shoulders and walked up quickly and asked: "You guest, when you come to the tavern, you don't drink or eat meat. Instead, you look for cakes to eat. If there is no cake, why don't you say that the tavern doesn't have food?"
Okay, what does this mean?"
Xu Qingnian didn't want to pay attention. He walked to the table and sat down and smiled: "In this imperial city, even the waiter in the tavern has such a bad temper. How noble!"
Bai Qinghe glanced at him and said softly: "For so many years in Qi Cultivator Continent, you also know very well that the Imperial City is the intersection of the whole world. Be careful what you say and act. I was right. I asked for scallion pancakes in the tavern. I didn't say anything.
It’s good if you deliberately seek trouble!”
Hua Beibei smiled at them and didn't say much, so he raised his hand and asked the waiter to come over and order some wine and meat.
After a while they started drinking.
"Senior Bai, Senior Xu, I'm going to a hut and I'll be back soon. I haven't drank for a long time and I feel a little uncomfortable, haha!"
After Hua Beibei finished speaking, he stood up. Xu Qingnian looked at him and said mockingly: "How can a man not drink? I think you lack practice. Go ahead and come back quickly. We will be on our way after finishing this bowl of wine!"
"
Hua Beibei nodded and rushed into the backyard of the tavern without saying a word.
At this time, a very mysterious man also came to the hut in the backyard of the tavern. He saw Hua Beibei there, so he quickened his pace.
"I told you not to use this tavern anymore. It's very likely that someone has found out. Why are you still here?"
The mysterious man was wearing a black windbreaker, with the hood pulled down so low that only his mouth could be seen.
Hua Beibei looked very nervous. He carefully looked behind the man in black, but there was nothing strange. Then he whispered: "We just came out. If we don't stay here, how can we inform you? We are leaving now, and the chance of meeting us in the future is probably very small."
No more, what I want to say is all above, you can see for yourself, I’m leaving!”
Hua Beibei took out a note and put it into the hand of the man in black, walked away in a hurry, and returned to the tavern.
But just as he was about to go in, he raised his head and bumped into Xu Qingnian, which shocked him.
"Senior Xu? What are you doing?"
Xu Qingnian said with a smile: "We have finished eating, let's go!"
Hua Beibei thought that Xu Qingnian had discovered the conversation he had just had with the man in black, and his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped into his throat.
Bai Qinghe and others followed closely behind.
Although Xu Qingnian drank a lot, he was very clear-headed. After being blown by the slight cool breeze, he seemed to be completely drunk.
"Bai Qinghe, where should we go next? Where should we check first?"
Bai Qinghe didn't drink at all just now. On the contrary, Mu Cangcang and Xu Qingnian drank a lot. Bai Qinghe looked around and thought for a moment and said: "The remnants of Haotian Pavilion are not a small number in the imperial city. I think we should check it out first."
The sect in the imperial city."
Xu Qingnian nodded: "Yes, although the Imperial City is the city where Emperor Shang lives, there are many sects, so let's start with the sects."
After hearing this, Hu Sanhai walked from behind them to the front, narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Since we have checked from the sects, it is strange that there is a sect in the imperial city. They are not seen on weekdays, but they come and go frequently at night, so why not start with
Check them out."
Hua Beibei rolled his eyes, and then asked: "Mr. Hu is talking about the Xingtian Sect in the Imperial City?"
Hu Sanhai couldn't help but nodded in response: "Yes, it's the Xingtian Sect. Although their sect has existed for thousands of years, due to its relatively poor cultivation level, it has never participated in any wars between the Ten Thousand Sects, or court disputes, or...
Cholera in Haotian Pavilion."
"But recently, they have been coming in and out frequently at night, and according to rumors, their sect master often interacts with people who dress like Haotian Pavilion. I just want to go and ask for details today!"
As soon as Hu Sanhai finished speaking, Xu Qingnian clasped his hands behind his back, lowered his head, squinted his eyes slightly to the right, pointed to an alley on the right and said, "Is this the place you are talking about?"
Hua Beibei took a look, and sure enough, the plaque of Xing Tianzong was in this alley, bright and eye-catching.
The alley was long, and there were no residents on both sides of the alley. At the end of the alley was the Xingtian Sect. Hu Sanhai walked up to ask for details without saying anything.
But he was immediately dragged back by Xu Qingnian.
"What are you doing? You don't know what the Xingtian Sect is?"
Hu Sanhai had never dealt with Xu Qingnian. He looked at Xu Qingnian's facial expression and smiled: "Old Xu, I'm not your young master. Why are you worrying so much!"
"Who doesn't know who they are from the He sect? Most of the Xing Tian sect makes a living by using hidden weapons. It was just said that they won't participate in the Ten Thousand Sects Competition. It's probably because of their hidden weapons that they can't enter the elegant hall!"
"Don't you just want to say that there should be hidden weapons in this alley, and you don't want me to act rashly?"
Xu Qingnian glanced at him: "You...!" but couldn't say anything.
Hu Sanhai activated the sea of qi and raised his palms toward the alley. A terrifying scene suddenly appeared in the alley. Suddenly, arrows were flying, and the knives, forks, swords and halberds appeared on the ground in the alley.
Mu Cangcang, who was behind him, was dumbfounded. If he accidentally entered this alley, even the most advanced Qi cultivator would probably lose his life.
But why were these hidden weapons revealed with just one slap, which shocked even Xu Qingnian?
It was only later that I found out that this alley had been modified by the Xingtian Sect for a long time. As long as people with the blessing of Qihai pass through this alley, these hidden weapons will be triggered.
Hu Sanhai mobilized the sea of qi to take the initiative to fight in the alley. The sea of qi spread in the alley, which naturally caused the hidden weapons to leak out.
Afterwards, Hu Sanhai once again used Qihai to bless him, and instantly arrived at the steps of Xingtian Sect.
Just when Xu Qingnian was about to go in, a person suddenly came behind them. The weapons wrapped in red cloth looked very cold.
This person was Huang Zongshu. He was breathing steadily and was not afraid at all.
But Huabeibei's forehead was dripping with sweat.
"Who are you?"
Bai Qinghe gradually clenched his fists with both hands, walked towards Huang Zongshu, and asked without changing his expression: "We are from the academy. If you are interested, please leave as soon as possible and don't let us do anything!"
Huang Zongshu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and then narrowed again: "The first generation disciple of the academy, Bai Qinghe?"
Bai Qinghe was shocked. He didn't expect that the person in front of him actually recognized him, but he didn't remember who this person was at all, so he asked in confusion: "Since you know who we are, don't ask for trouble!"
Huang Zongshu inserted the weapon in his hand into the ground very hard, and there was no dust around it, which showed that he had enough Qi Hai and high level of cultivation.
But apart from Bai Qinghe being able to sense his Qi Hai, his realm could not be seen at all. He should be another master who could hide his realm. Bai Qinghe gradually became nervous.
Xu Qingnian took a few steps forward disapprovingly, looked at you from top to bottom, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I seem to know you!"
When Huang Zongshu saw it was Xu Qingnian, his appearance remained unchanged.
"Haha, that's natural. You should have been by my side when I was sparring with Master. Today, your appearance hasn't changed much."
