Chapter 225
Cheng Hui happily discussed with these people for three days, exchanging and discussing various things, and had a great time.
These people are not arrogant. They can argue face to face over some different opinions, and they are willing to spit in each other's faces.
At this time, Cheng Hui no longer cared about respecting the elderly and loving the young. He argued with reason and managed to gain a foothold by quarreling.
On the first day, there were still many elders watching. Even though Elder Hu told them that Cheng Hui had obtained the ancient inheritance, these people still did not give up. After all, anyone would be jealous of such a talented disciple, and bringing him out in the future would definitely bring them face.
But by the next day, even the elder with the highest level of formation cultivation could not bring himself to accept Cheng Hui as his disciple.
Cheng Hui was very satisfied with the three days of communication. He learned a lot, and the exchanges (quarrels) with other elders also inspired him a lot.
He looked at Lin Qingyang with a hint of apology: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for three days."
Lin Qingyang smiled and shook his head. He didn't feel bored. Instead, he felt that the shining Cheng Hui made his heart beat faster.
During these three days, Feng Qingxue had come once, but she quickly fled in panic amidst the elders' inquiries, which were ostensibly out of concern but were in fact tests...
After three days of communication, the elders felt very regretful that Cheng Hui was not a disciple of their Bagua Sect.
What a great talent for formation...how come it ended up in someone else's hands!
Elders: ...heartbroken!
After three days, Cheng Hui didn't want to stay any longer. It wasn't that the Bagua Sect had any negative things to say about him, but rather that they were too good to him... He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would be embarrassed to steal someone else's girlfriend...
So, after bidding farewell to Sect Leader Feng and his family, they returned to Qiankun City. This time, when Cheng Hui went to study the formation again, he did not encounter any accidents.
After staying at the water vein node for nearly half a month, Cheng Hui gained some knowledge. He did not fully understand the formation, which was the culmination of countless generations of Bagua Sect's work. Even if he could be called a master of formations, it was impossible for him to fully understand the entire formation.
The most important thing is that the water vein nodes will change with the flow of water, and the content of the formation will change frequently. Unless he lives in Qiankun City all year round to conduct research like other formation masters, he will not gain much by staying longer.
During the past half month, he was afraid that Lin Qingyang would be bored, so he suggested that he go for a walk in the city. Unfortunately, for Lin Qingyang, as long as he could see Cheng Hui, he would feel happy. Even if Cheng Hui was obsessed with the magic circle and ignored him, he would not feel lonely.
Cheng Hui was also aware of his thoughts, but even though he knew it, Cheng Hui felt that he had neglected Lin Qingyang too much and felt a little guilty.
His guilt did not escape Lin Qingyang's eyes. As he was good at seizing opportunities, he naturally took advantage of Cheng Hui's guilt and earned a lot of benefits for himself.
I won’t go into detail about the specific welfare content, but it’s the kind of content that will be censored if mentioned.
In the end, Cheng Hui was not sure whether he was the one who suffered the loss or the one who took advantage..._(:з」∠)_
In response to Lin Qingyang's request, the two of them stayed in the inn's room for two days. During these two days, they didn't waste all their time in bed. There were bathtubs, desks... cough cough, anyway, Cheng Hui knew that when it came to tricks, Lin Qingyang knew much more than him...
Walking out of the room, Cheng Hui breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, he inexplicably had the illusion of being alive again.
"Ah Hui..."
His shoulders sank, and sweet breath hit his ears. Cheng Hui shuddered violently, and his legs felt weak.
"Stop it..." He tried to assert his boyfriend's dignity. "Be good, or there won't be a next time!"
When Cheng Hui said this, he had no confidence at all.
It's not that Lin Qingyang is disobedient, but... well, he is disobedient. But his disobedience is not intentional to go against you, but to change your mind by acting coquettishly.
To be honest, who could possibly say no to such a pretty face? Not to mention he was wearing cat ears… ahem… it seemed like he'd accidentally revealed something…
"Hmm? Okay then..." Lin Qingyang behaved unusually well-behaved at this time.
But Cheng Hui knew very well that beneath his well-behaved appearance was hidden a shameless and rogue soul!
Counting the time, they have been in Qiankun City for more than a month, but so far they have not had the chance to go around.
In view of his own vulnerable constitution, Cheng Hui deliberately put the atlas given to him by Elder Hu in his storage ring, suppressed the urge in his heart, and did not even flip through it once.
He believed that this time he would not...
"Fellow Daoist Cheng! Fellow Daoist Cheng?!"
Cheng Hui: ...
He turned around with a depressed look on his face, only to see a Buddhist monk in green robes passing by him. With a look of surprise on his face... he patted the shoulder of the Taoist friend in front of him.
"Ha! I knew it was you!" said the green-robed Buddhist happily. The monk seemed to recognize him as well and started talking to him with a smile on his face.
During this time, he looked at Cheng Hui puzzledly, as if he didn't understand why this man was staring at him.
Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest. Fortunately, it turned out that the person was not calling him.
Lin Qingyang suppressed his laughter and said softly, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will just ignore it."
Cheng Hui thought so too. No matter how big the opportunity was, he didn't believe that it would fall on his head if he didn't take the initiative to get involved.
Whoosh——
A dark shadow rushed straight over his head, and he reflexively reached out to grab it - "Chi!"
The dark shadow let out a scream.
Cheng Hui was startled and was about to let go when he heard someone shout, "Don't let go! It's pretending!"
Cheng Hui: ...? !
Then, a panting little fat man ran over, shouting as he ran: "Daoist friend! Don't let go, or it will run away again!"
Cheng Hui looked down and realized that what he had caught was a white mouse... no, a white ferret.
The ferret was looking at him stealthily, screaming as it did so.
If Cheng Hui hadn't used any strength at all, even he himself would have suspected that he had committed some kind of animal abuse.
"Huh... Huh... Thank you very much... Senior!" The little fat man was shocked when he ran closer and found that he could not sense the breath of Cheng Hui at all.
Cheng Hui pointed to the cage in his hand. The fat boy quickly raised the cage, and Cheng Hui stuffed the struggling ferret into it.
The little fat man locked the cage and then breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he remembered that the two people in front of him were Jindan-stage cultivators, so he forced himself to hold back the breath.
Cheng Hui was amused by his actions.
Although the world of cultivation is clearly divided into different classes, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right? He's a Jindan cultivator, not a man-eating monster. There's no need to be so...
"Chirp!" The ferret jumped up and down in the cage in dissatisfaction. It jumped to the side of the cage close to Cheng Hui and spit at him, obviously holding a grudge.
The little fat boy was almost scared to pee. He fumbled to turn the cage towards himself, and then his face was covered with the ferret's saliva.
Cheng Hui: Why do I feel like this person is stupid?
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry..." The little fat man bowed 90 degrees suddenly. I don't know if he was too nervous, but he moved too violently when he stood up and accidentally lost his balance and sat on the ground.
Cheng Hui: ...
Confirmed, it is indeed stupid...
The little fat boy was also stunned by his own clumsiness, and for a moment he lost all expression.
"Chirp, chirp!" The whole snow ferret was laughing like crazy, rolling around in the cage while holding its belly.
Lin Qingyang couldn't help laughing beside him. Only Cheng Hui had some conscience. He reached out and pulled the dumb little fat boy up: "Are you okay?"
The little fat boy shook his head woodenly.
Cheng Hui nodded: "That's good, it's okay, I'm leaving." Then he turned and left.
The little fat boy looked at his back and suddenly shuddered. He felt so lucky in his heart that the senior he met today had a really good personality and didn't even laugh at him.
Cheng Hui had no idea what kind of strange cultivators this little fat boy had met in the past. After he and Lin Qingyang left the inn, they started wandering around Qiankun City.
Due to the existence of the Qiankun City formation, the safety factor in Qiankun City is quite high. In addition, the location of Qiankun City is also very good, so it has become a commodity distribution center.
Cheng Hui had already asked the young tour guide about the city market. In addition, he also knew a lot about various places to eat, drink and have fun.
He thought about it and decided to go eat something first.
After all, as a citizen of a country that loves food, eating wherever he goes is his basic quality.
The most famous restaurant in Qiankun City is Chufenglou, which is named after a kind of wine called Chufeng.
Needless to say, this Chufeng wine is naturally only sold in Chufenglou. Cheng Hui has no interest in this kind of wine, but he has heard that their side dishes are quite unique, so he wants to try it.
The nine-story restaurant was bustling with people. It happened to be dinner time, and the restaurant was crowded with people coming and going. The waiters in the lobby were walking briskly, each of them like a juggler, with huge trays in their hands and on their heads, filled with drinks and dishes.
"Wow, this skill... is almost as good as acrobatics." Cheng Hui couldn't help but sigh when he saw that another waiter almost collided with him and finally dodged the road with a somersault.
Lin Qingyang laughed when he heard this: "Acrobatics are the skills of mortals, right? Comparing cultivators with mortals, isn't that a bit bullying?"
Cheng Hui couldn't help but laugh, it was indeed true.
As soon as the two of them walked into the restaurant, a waiter came up to them and asked if they had a table reserved.
Cheng Hui shook his head to indicate no, and the waiter explained that there were many people at the moment and there were no empty seats, and asked them if they were willing to share a table with others.
Cheng Hui didn't care, and Lin Qingyang cared even less. The waiter led the two of them to the second floor. There was a good spot by the window on the second floor. There was only a young man in white sitting at the table there.
The waiter went over and said a few words to the young man, then waved to Cheng Hui and the others with a happy smile.
Cheng Hui walked forward and thanked the monk.
The other person looked cold and distant, and Cheng Hui didn't feel offended. It was already good enough that they were willing to give up half the table. Did they really have to greet him with a smile? Cheng Hui didn't think face was that important.
Not long after they sat down, the waiter brought the dishes they ordered. Cheng Hui was not used to wasting food, so even for the sake of tasting the dishes, he only ordered the amount that he and Lin Qingyang could eat.
Crisp and refreshing garlic-stirred thousand-root leaves, rich and fragrant braised red-flavored pig's trotter, soft and delicious fried fish roe, spicy and fragrant red oil jellyfish, plus a bowl of sweet Yunyan fruit soup and two bowls of crystal clear red glutinous rice, it's simply perfect!
