Looking in the direction of Yang Lu's finger, Xi Ziang realized that his attitude was very inappropriate.
Yang Lu once sternly warned everyone that what happened on the battlefield outside the territory must not be spread, otherwise everyone would die without a burial place. However, Xi Ziang's identity two days ago was still a loyal subordinate of the great leader Consultant Yang, and now he suddenly saw
When Yang Lu appeared, instinct produced a conditioned reflex.
Although Xi Ziang realized that he had just said the wrong thing, the strong pressure that Yang Lu had exerted on the battlefield outside the territory in the past made him even more frightened. He quickly explained: "Advisor Yang, I understand that I was wrong. I——
"
"Ahem!" In order to stop Xi Ziang from continuing to talk nonsense, Yang Lu quickly interrupted him with a cough, "Daoyou Xi and I have known each other for many years, so there is no need to introduce each other. Daoyou Xi, these two people next to me are Luan Shicheng Ren
Young Master Ren Yi from our family, and Young Master Su Cheng from the Su family in Haiya City, they also want to get to know you!"
After Xi Ziang received the top order, he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "It turns out it's Young Master Ren and Young Master Su. What a pleasure to meet you!"
Seeing the other party suddenly salute to them, Ren Yi and Su Cheng returned the salute in confusion. However, Yang Lu was still dissatisfied and raised his brows and said, "And where is Manager Han next to me?"
"Yes, and Director Han! We haven't seen each other for a long time. I think it was you who personally brought me to join the Haiya Sect back then!"
Although Xi Ziang said polite words, Han Fulai had a strange feeling that the other party was not really being polite to him, but was implementing the instructions Yang Lu had just given.
Seeing how Xi Ziang obeyed Yang Luyan, everyone looked at Yang Lu with a little uncertainty.
Although the doubts in their hearts are about to skyrocket, everyone came here to make friends with Xi Ziang. Even if Ren Yi and Su Cheng feel weird, they can't show it in public. They can only smile and express that they can meet a young man like Xi Daoyou.
Junjie is also an honor for us, and Han Fulai also noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was rather strange, and quickly greeted everyone to take their seats.
But even this kind of ordinary procedural matter has caused problems, both big and small.
Since the power of cultivators in Kyushu is attributed to themselves, their power status is highly linked to their cultivation realm. In terms of strict hierarchy, it is even worse than on Earth. When holding a banquet, it is also necessary to arrange the seats in order according to status.
Before Xi Ziang's arrival, Ren Yi, who had the highest status, had always sat at the top of the banquet, while Yang Lu could only sit at the bottom of the banquet. However, as the protagonist of Xi Ziang's banquet, even if he did not sit in front of Ren Yi, at least
Also sit in front of Yang Road.
As a result, when Xi Ziang heard that he was going to sit on top of Advisor Yang, his buttocks jumped up like a charcoal was lit. After all, when he was on the battlefield outside the territory, he would take the initiative to trail Advisor Yang by half a body when walking.
Respectfully, if we ask him to sit at the head of Yang Road now, he probably won't be able to eat a single bite of this meal.
So he repeatedly said that he could sit at the main seat because of his virtue. He could just sit under Consultant Yang. But the problem was that Yang Lu was originally sitting with him at the bottom of the table. If Xi Ziang sat behind Yang Lu, wouldn't it mean that he would become the whole family?
The person with the lowest status?
Even if Xi Ziang takes the initiative to stick his face over, no one can go up and slap him!
So Su Cheng and Han Fulai immediately said that it was our honor in Haiya City that Fellow Daoist Xi could come to Haiya City, and they must sit next to Fellow Daoist Ren Yi. Even Ren Yi said that he would take the initiative to give up the first seat to him.
But no matter how they tried to persuade him, Xi Ziang tried his best to find excuses and had to sit behind Yang Lu. In the end, Yang Lu felt it was too shameful and glared at Xi Ziang, so Xi Ziang reluctantly sat down.
The expression on the top of the head is so awkward, it looks like an underground party member sitting on the reactionary tiger bench...
Xi Ziang's restless appearance was naturally noticed by others, but Yang Lu was not too worried that the secret between the two would be exposed. After all, reasoning in the real world has never been that kind of "Conan-style reasoning."
.
The so-called Conan-style reasoning is the kind of hindsight reasoning that directly guesses the answer from an open-ended question, and then goes back to sort out the logic to find evidence.
Although this kind of reasoning seems to be very logical and interlocking, since there are countless possibilities in the open world itself, you can never be sure that the line of reasoning you are taking is the correct one until you eliminate other possibilities.
The chosen direction of reasoning is precisely the biggest difficulty in reasoning, and the specific reasoning process is secondary.
Take the simplest example:
At a certain murder scene, someone noticed a hole in the wooden floor. Normal detectives would not pay attention to these details and would only think that it might be a hole made by someone accidentally.
But Detective Conan is different. At this time, he will have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then realize that this pit is probably the trace left after being triggered by an extremely complicated murder trap. Then the audience will see Conan classmates.
Following this line of reasoning, we finally discovered the murder mechanism hidden by the murderer, as well as other more evidence.
Then everyone will also find that the design of this murder mechanism is so exquisite. Not only is it interlocking, but it can destroy the evidence by itself without the murderer personally coming out to finish it, and provide the murderer with a perfect alibi. The only flaw is
The hole left on the floor at the murder scene. If Conan hadn't been so wise and powerful, everyone might have been deceived by the murderer's alibi.
Then the crowd was shocked by the super high IQ of Conan and the criminals, and they all exclaimed "Old Iron 666".
This is a bridge that once appeared in "Detective Conan", and similar bridges were repeatedly used by Gosho Aoyama.
Although this kind of plot is very enjoyable to watch and makes readers feel like their IQ has been crushed, after thinking deeply you will find that the whole reasoning process cannot withstand scrutiny at all and cannot be applied to real life.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The most obvious question is:
What if the pit on the wooden floor is not a trace left by a murder mechanism, but an ordinary pit? What should Conan do?
Then you may find that Conan wasted several days in vain, and then only proved that "this pit is indeed an ordinary pit", and maybe there are several similar pits on the wooden floor, or even on the door frame.
There may also be many pitfalls.
You can't let Conan-san suspect that every time he sees a pit, the clue is left by a murder agency!
As we all know, the world we live in is highly open, and everything has countless possibilities. The most powerful thing about Conan is that the clues he chooses to delve into are always the ones that are really useful, and he can automatically eliminate those useless clues, otherwise even if
Even if Conan is exhausted, he will not be able to draw the correct conclusion.
Just as "Conan-style reasoning" is useless in the real world, unless there is betrayal by an insider, it will be equally difficult for outsiders to discover the secrets of Yang Lu's gang.
No matter how close the relationship between Yang Lu and Xi Ziang is, Su Cheng and Han Fulai will not follow the clue that "Yang Lu and Xi Ziang may have just known each other on the battlefield outside the territory for more than ten days", because among all possible explanations,
, this clue can be said to be one of the most outrageous.
If they wanted to, they could easily come up with dozens of explanations that are countless times more reasonable than this:
For example, Xi Ziang is probably also a hidden chess piece left by Li Qingyang.
Considering that Li Qingyang's great-granddaughter opened a chamber of commerce in Haiya City several years ago, and he has secretly arranged for Yang Lu to assist her (actually not, but everyone thinks so), then why can't Li Qingyang arrange it again?
Xi Ziang, how about cooperating with Yang Lu overtly and covertly?
If both of them were the secrets laid by Li Qingyang during his lifetime, and Yang Lu had a higher status within the "Li Xingchang Clan" than Xi Ziang, it would make perfect sense for Xi Ziang to treat Yang Lu with respect, and even Xi Ziang
There is also a very reasonable explanation for why Ang was able to kill two golden wheels of merit in the battlefield outside the territory.
After all, the person who can be selected as a chess piece by Li Qingyang is definitely not an ordinary person. Before Yang Lu joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he was not in a state of publicity, but when the Qingning Chamber of Commerce encountered a crisis, didn't he still expose it to everyone?
First hand?
For another example, maybe Yang Lu got some ulterior motives about Xi Ziang?
After all, Xi Ziang was unknown before, and suddenly he shines on the battlefield outside the territory. This is very similar to the protagonist in a story novel who suddenly has some kind of special adventure. If there is some ulterior secret behind this adventure, then
It happened to be noticed by Yang Lu and became the basis for Yang Lu to threaten Xi Ziang. It also makes sense for Xi Ziang's respectful attitude towards Yang Lu.
If the guess is even more outrageous, is it not impossible that Xi Ziang and Yang Lu are a gay couple?
Unless Su Cheng and Han Fulai could figure things out, they would have no way of linking Yang Lu and Xi Ziang to the direction of the "mysterious masked gang" that suddenly appeared in this extraterritorial battlefield trial.
Even until now, they didn't know that there was such a legend in the battlefield outside the territory.
After all, there are millions of trialists participating in each extraterritorial battlefield. There are countless accidents that occur in extraterritorial battlefields, and there are countless bizarre urban legends. Rumors such as "Mysterious Masked Gangs in Extraterritorial Battlefields" are not at all
Even if they are not ranked, the few Nascent Soul stage elders who sent their disciples to hunt down Li Qingning really took this matter seriously. Even if others heard about it, they would just ignore it and even continue to spread the news.
There is no motivation like gossip.
If he hadn't been convinced that Han Fulai and Su Cheng would not be able to figure out the secret between them, Yang Lu might have found a way to escape immediately and would not have met Xi Ziang openly.
Seeing that Yang Lu did not shy away from his special relationship with Xi Ziang, the other three guests became even more unclear about the two people's background. The bigger problem was that if the banquet remained in this weird state, it might not be possible.
The method went on normally.
Discovering that Xi Ziang never looked at the other guests at all, but glanced at Yang Lu with his peripheral vision whenever he found an opportunity. As the host of the banquet, Han Fulai could no longer hold back and had to take the initiative to ask: "Consultant Yang, Fellow Daoist Xi,
The relationship between you two seems to be quite good! I don’t know when you met?”
Although this question was asked to Xi Ziang, Xi Ziang didn't dare to answer such a sensitive question, so he subconsciously turned his attention to Yang Lu.
But Yang Lu just smiled very naturally, and then said casually: "I invented a small game called backgammon, and Daoyou Xi is my chess friend. We have been friends through chess for a long time."
When he was on the battlefield outside the territory, Xi Ziang did see Yang Lu playing backgammon with Li Qingning, and Han Fulai had also heard about this game.
Hearing that Yang Lu had given clear instructions, Xi Ziang immediately agreed: "That's exactly what happened! The backgammon invented by Consultant Yang is very mysterious. Although it only has two colors, black and white, it contains an unfathomable philosophy of life. One game
After playing chess, my thoughts became clear, and even my cultivation progressed much faster!"
In fact, Xi Ziang doesn't know how to play backgammon at all.
But many cool novels in the world of Kyushu cultivation say this. The protagonist understands the power of the law after watching the immortal's game of chess, and understands the sword's meaning after seeing the immortal's sword mark. He talks nonsense like this.
But whether Xi Ziang is talking nonsense, others don't know. Even if he is indeed talking nonsense, the three of them can't beat him and make him reveal the truth. They can only believe it for the time being. However, Xi Ziang is right
Everyone has seen Yang Luyan's obedience very clearly.
Although he didn't know why Xi Ziang was so "modest and courteous" to Yang Lu, the message behind this attitude attracted everyone's attention.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Li Qingyang's death, everyone originally thought that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was going to decline. However, Yang Lu's look was able to make Xi Ziyan obey his words, which made everyone unable to help but start again.
After assessing the background of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, especially Su Cheng, who had previously despised Yang Lu, the smile on his face became dignified.
No matter what method Yang Lu used to achieve it, he was able to manipulate the representatives of "Xu Zhen Financial Weekly" at will, and could make this influential figure of the Xi family in Yunlai City not dare to breathe. Qingning Chamber of Commerce does not look like it.
It looks like it’s going downhill!
Because everyone had other thoughts, the scene instantly became a little cold.
After all, in this kind of social situation, the tone and method of speaking depend entirely on the status of the speaker. But since Xi Ziang came, the order of status in the scene has become a bit messy.
The most obvious question is, if you want to toast, who should you start with?
If we respect Xi Zi'ang first, what if Xi Zi'ang expresses as he just said that he must respect Yang Lu first? But if he respects Yang Lu first, where will Ren Yi's face go?
The spiritual wines that can be served at this high-end banquet are all high-end goods that can significantly restore mana. They are most suitable for foreign monks like Xi Ziang and Ren Yi who have just traveled a long way to escape light. However, Su Cheng just took it.
The exquisite wine flask with overflowing spiritual energy, her face was a little red from holding back, but she didn't know in what order to speak.
In the end, Han Fulai, who had extremely high emotional intelligence, came up with a way to break the situation. He clapped his hands gently towards the door and said, "Where is Shopkeeper Su?"
Upon hearing Han Fulai's instructions, Shopkeeper Su of Haiya Pavilion, who was always on standby outside the private room, immediately opened the door and entered.
He calmly observed the atmosphere in the private room and saw Han Fulai nodding slightly to him, so shopkeeper Su immediately turned around and ordered: "Bring them all in!"
