Zhou Lu walked out of the deep and narrow Wuyi Stone Cave, found a small teleportation array, and a beam of light teleported back to his stone house. After carefully changing into a new set of clothes, he patted his fat face against the shining jade wall. Feeling quite energetic, he pushed open the stone door with a smile and walked out.
Today's celebration in the restaurant is specially held for the twenty of them. I heard that the powerful men from the past of the temple will come, and many high-ranking figures from the major forces in Purgatory City will also come. I can take this opportunity to get to know many people. Now that I know more important people, walking in Purgatory City will be much smoother in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Lu was looking forward to such a celebration.
The sky is slightly dark in the valley outside, and the green trees and flowers cover the stone path slantingly. I walked past the flower trees and walked to the adjacent stone house and knocked on the door gently.
After a while, Mo Qingxiu opened the door and walked out wearing a long brocade dress. Zhou Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.
On Mo Qingxiu's long skirt, dark brown silk threads were used to embroider strange and powerful branches on the material, and pink silk threads were embroidered into blooming plum blossoms. The plum blossoms extended from the hem of the skirt to the waist, with a mysterious thread. The purple belt tightens the slim waist and makes the figure more slim.
Mo Qingxiu looks bright and gorgeous with just a little dressing up.
Zhou Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sighed: "It's so beautiful, I will never get tired of watching it in my life.
Mo Qingxiu gave Zhou Lu a sweet look.
Over there, Guan Dongyang, who was dressed in linen, was pushing open the door, kicking one foot in and one foot out when he heard these words. Seeing Zhou Lu and the two flirting, Guan Dongyang was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to come out or not. It was better to go in. He coughed hard to remind him that there were outsiders over there, and then walked over with a half-smile.
Mo Qingxiu half-hidden behind Zhou Lu, angrily and secretly pinched the smiling fat man's waist.
"The celebration party will start soon, let's go."
Guan Dongyang looked at Zhou Lu and Zhou Lu with a smile. In his heart, such a sweet couple lived a much more real life than those who were obsessed with killing and only pursued the way of heaven. Guan Dongyang only envied Zhou and Lu.
The three of them walked side by side out of the mountain while talking and laughing.
"Who will be coming today?" Zhou Lu asked casually.
Guan Dongyang pondered for a moment and replied:
"Most of the disciples in our temple who are involved in worldly affairs, including district supervisors, workshop owners, stokers, soldiers, and criminals, should be here. The rest are representatives of various forces in the city, such as chambers of commerce, workshops, mines, etc. I'm afraid there won't be hundreds of people in the furnace smelting business."
"So lively?"
Zhou Lu chuckled and said: "With so many people, I'm afraid it won't be a lot of trouble to socialize. I won't be able to remember who does what for a while."
The celebration party held by the Samsara Trading Pavilion for him and Mo Qingxiu was extremely lively. Looking at it, today's scene will be even more lively than that day.
Guan Dongyang looked a little strange. He glanced at Zhou Lu who was in high spirits, smiled bitterly and shook his head, hesitating to speak:
"Zhou Lu, I'm afraid today's scene is not what you imagined"
Zhou Luzheng turned around and asked Mo Qingxiu what she had been practicing these days. He didn't hear Guan Dongyang's words very clearly, and Guan Dongyang couldn't say anything else. The three of them walked quickly together, and finally walked out of Fengshen Mountain and entered the streets of the city. On the way up, Guan Dongyang led the way and walked along the bustling street. After walking a few streets, at the intersection of a densely populated street, a majestic restaurant stood tall.
There are disciples from the temple waiting at the door of the restaurant to guide the visitors to sit upstairs.
Guan Dongyang led Zhou Lu and Mo Qingxiu over. This time, we are walking together with the number one champion from the previous year, so it¡¯s hard not to attract attention.
One of the welcoming disciples at the door ran over quickly, greeted with a smile on his face, and asked the three of them to go directly to the hall on the third floor.
Zhou Lu was filled with joy at the respectful greetings from the disciples. The three of them went all the way upstairs to the hall on the third floor. The other disciples who were admitted to the temple today were almost there. They gathered in clusters in the east and west to chat. , seeing Guan Dongyang and Zhou Lu coming up together, several people took the initiative to come around and say hello.
We are all admitted to the temple in the same class, so we naturally feel close to each other.
There were also many people who secretly glanced at Mo Qingxiu and turned away with blushing faces at one glance.
Mo Qingxiu¡¯s charm was so great that Zhou Lu found it funny. He pulled Mo Qingxiu beside him and started chatting and laughing with those who gathered around him.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and two large red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the restaurant. An endless stream of guests arrived one after another. From time to time, groups of people walked up to the lobby on the third floor, either in a majestic or grand manner. Enthusiastic and cheerful, or harmonious and prosperous
? ?The man nodded and talked very calmly and dealt with each one one by one. It is also a skill to deal with so many people at once and behave calmly.
Guan Dongyang whispered next to Zhou Lu: "That is the special envoy Leng sent out by the temple to take charge of the city's taxation. This person can be said to be just like Supervisor Du, he holds great power, and there are too many people who want to curry favor with him."
Zhou Lu nodded: "Is Special Envoy Leng also a leader on the list of gods?"
Guan Dongyang hummed: "Special Envoy Leng is ranked around 106 on the list of gods, and it only took him one hundred and fifty years to reach such a high position. In fact, the disciples who are admitted to the temple have two goals in the end. Well, one is to continue to pursue the way of heaven, be able to enter the domain-level temple, or even enter the general temple, and become a higher-level powerhouse, and the other is to enter the secular world and seek a substantial fortune."
Guan Dongyang advised Yin Yin: "Zhou Lu, work hard and strive to have an amazing performance in the rankings. Only by attracting the attention of the elders, you will not be so embarrassed alone in the future, and you will be able to go everywhere like them. striking."
While they were talking, several more people walked up the stairs and were surrounded by delegations from all the major forces in the city. The atmosphere was heated and eager. Guan Dongyang was beside him and introduced Zhou Lu in a low voice one by one. Those people were all in charge. The real powerful figures in the city are all the secular leaders sent by the temple.
At this time, Daopan Qi and the others finally understood what was going on.
Around them, there would be people coming over to congratulate them with smiles from time to time, but they were simply incomparable to those like Supervisor Du.
Inspector Du and the others also came over to congratulate and say some blessings to the twenty people headed by Zhou Lu. After all, they were all from the same sect. The main thing today was to hold a celebration banquet for these twenty people to be admitted to the temple.
However, Inspector Du and the other old disciples of the temple, almost all of them are ranked in the top 160 on the list of gods. Each one of them is a big shot in his own way. They don't take these new junior brothers and sisters who have entered the temple seriously at all. .
There is a huge difference in strength and status between each other, and the tone of their blessings all has a condescending tone like that of a teacher.
Twenty people felt very unhappy.
Who can be admitted to the temple is not a proud and arrogant person. These people are secretly competing in their hearts. Isn't it just to get high on the list of gods? Let's see what happens to us later.
At this time, Zhou Lu suddenly noticed the position of the stairs from the corner of his eyes, and the figure of Master Qifang hurriedly squeezed up.
"Master Qifang is here too."
Zhou Lu let out a long sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
Finally, someone came to congratulate them sincerely, so there is no need to be conceited here.
"Master Qifang, here"
Zhou Lu greeted him from a distance and walked side by side with Mo Qingxiu to greet him.
There were more and more people on the third floor, and no one paid attention to Zhou Lu. Master Qifang squeezed through the crowd and walked quickly towards Zhou Lu and the two of them. When they got closer, Zhou Lu asked with a smile:
"Why didn't Pavilion Master Hong come? By the way, today is the auction day of our trading pavilion. The pavilion must be very busy."
The face of Lord Qifang was always ugly. It was not until he got close to Zhou Road that Lord Qifang lowered his voice and said: "Our auction cannot be successful. The city lord's palace sent a large number of palace guards over, saying that they would investigate and deal with the banned ores in our trading pavilion and put us The auction was suspended."
"Damn it," Qifang cursed bitterly: "The matter of banned ores is obviously an open secret. Which chamber of commerce in the city doesn't do this, but they went to investigate and deal with it fiercely on the most prosperous day of our trading pavilion. Isn't this clearly targeting us? .¡±
Zhou Lu and Mo Qingxiu were stunned for a moment, and turned to look at each other in surprise.
"The city lord's palace sent guards to investigate? Could it be that it has something to do with the incident where I injured Fu Dongyang?"
Zhou Lu asked in a low voice.
"Isn't it said that the relationship between Pavilion Master Hong and the City Master has always been very good? If the two parties suddenly clashed so fiercely, only Fu Dongyang's incident can be explained. The Samsara Trading Pavilion used the Zhou Lu Arena Tournament to make itself popular, and Zhou Lu took advantage of hurting Fu Dongyang to rise to power. The city lord turned his anger on the Trading Pavilion. This explanation should make sense.
Master Qifang remained silent, and finally gritted his teeth and continued:
"In any case, the feud between the city lord and our trading pavilion has been made public. The city lord's palace has given strong support to another chamber of commerce these days and given many preferential policies. This is also because we are afraid that our trading pavilion will be the only one to specifically suppress us." ( Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
