Qingdi City, Cangyun Residence.
As a well-known big city, Qingdi City has a wide variety of entertainment facilities. Serious and informal, there is nothing that Qingdi City doesn't have, only what you can't think of. Even if you need it, it's not difficult to arrange a Jie brother for you.
Among all the restaurants and hotels, Cang Yunju is the most famous one.
In this world, different restaurants serve different groups of people, and it can even be described as "clearly divided". After all, in this world, one can practice Taoism.
Therefore, the ingredients are divided into two types: those for ordinary people and those for monks, and the same is true for restaurants.
Cang Yunju is a restaurant that caters specifically to monks.
As we all know, many things will become very expensive once they are related to cultivation. After all, the sources of food suitable for monks are always dangerous. Danger means profit. After all, there is a saying in the world, "Fortune is sought in danger"!
Therefore, the most important thing for a monk to cultivate is the four words "wealth, companions, Dharma and land". The word "wealth" is the first, which shows the importance of wealth to monks.
Most ordinary people don't dare to spend money in places like Cang Yun Ju. Not to mention spending money, they don't even dare to look at it. But for cultivators, Cang Yun Ju is their first choice.
It is rumored that Cang Yun Ju has its own exotic animal breeding farm and spiritual plant cultivation farm, which can continuously produce various spiritual food ingredients. In addition, Cang Yun Ju has been purchasing a large number of various exotic animals and spiritual plants for a long time. Many cultivators will send the exotic animals they have hunted with great difficulty here in exchange for a considerable income.
This is why Feng Shao chose this place.
The trip to the Sansheng Tower made Feng Shao a lot of money. Even if only the spirit stones were counted, it was still a huge amount of one million. But even so, Feng Shao, who was used to a hard life, was reluctant to spend a lot of spirit stones on treating guests. So, he sold all the exotic beast corpses that he had collected before and had not had time to sell to Cang Yunju in exchange for a large sum of money.
Then he used the money to organize the banquet.
At this time, Feng Shao was sitting on the third floor of Cang Yun Ju, looking out the window. Watching the famous geniuses file in one after another, Feng Shao felt the spirit stones slipping through his fingers.
Alas, this time it was a huge loss!
At this moment, Lin Xiaoran's voice suddenly came from behind Feng Shao: "Brother Shao, why do you look so sad?"
Feng Shao turned around and saw Lin Xiaoran looking at him with a puzzled look on his face. Feng Shao pointed downstairs and said, "Ran'er, what do you think of when you look at these people?"
After taking a look, Lin Xiaoran pondered for a while and asked uncertainly: "Tianjiao?"
"What else?" Feng Shao continued to ask.
"Uh...they all seem to be very strong..." Lin Xiaoran murmured.
Feng Shao smiled and said, "They are all potential connections."
"Connections?" Lin Xiaoran tilted his head and thought for a while. "My father once said that connections are sometimes more important than strength. The success of Yunjian Pavilion was also due to the influence of my father's connections."
Feng Shao smiled and said, "Of course. But building connections often requires investment. Just like today, if I didn't treat them to this meal, they probably wouldn't even bother to take a second look at me."
Lin Xiaoran said indignantly: "That's because they are short-sighted! Sooner or later, Brother Shao will become a great hero!"
Feng Shao smiled and rubbed Lin Xiaoran's head, jokingly saying, "Thank you, Ran'er, for thinking so highly of me. If I don't become successful in the future, wouldn't that be a disappointment to Ran'er's expectations of me?"
Lin Xiaoran also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! Even if Brother Shao doesn't become successful, I will always be with Brother Shao!"
Feng Shao nodded, put away his smile, and continued, "These people didn't come to Qingdi City for my sake. In fact, they came for your sake. To be more precise, it was Yunjian Pavilion."
At this point, Feng Shao sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't want to keep using the name of Yunjian Pavilion, but this is the only solution. After all, I, Feng Shao, am just a nobody, not as famous as Yunjian Pavilion. Even for today's banquet, I can only hold it in the name of Taixuan Saint Son, not in my own name."
Lin Xiaoran sensed the disappointment in Feng Shao's tone and comforted him, "Brother Shao, you just lack some foundation now. You need time to accumulate, just like my father did back then. Since my father could do it back then, I believe you can do it too."
Feng Shao smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words."
In fact, when Feng Shao first met Lin Fengtian, he discovered that Lin Fengtian's luck was dark purple. Not only that, even Xiao Ruoyao, Leng Lingyue, Lin Xiaoran, etc., at least had red luck.
This also means that Lin Fengtian is essentially a son of destiny. However, judging from Lin Fengtian's current status and past experiences, Lin Fengtian should be considered a son of destiny of the previous generation.
Lin Fengtian, who has good luck, has experienced many twists and turns, but he is always able to turn danger into safety and turn disaster into blessing in the end.
But Feng Shao himself did not have that level of luck. And because of the Tianhua Jade Slip, he had to be careful not to be used as a stepping stone by the Son of Luck.
Alas, the gap is quite big!
"By the way, Brother Shao, I have a gift for you." Lin Xiaoran said suddenly.
"Gift?" Feng Shao asked curiously.
Lin Xiaoran took out a sachet and handed it to Feng Shao, saying shyly, "I... I'm not very good at needlework, so I can only embroider it like this. You... you can't despise it!"
Feng Shao looked at the crookedly embroidered sachet and felt a mixture of emotions.
In total, he had lived for about sixty or seventy years, including his previous and present lives. But this was the first time he had ever received a gift.
Although it was a "failed work" embroidered by a little girl, Feng Shao felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Seeing Feng Shao staring at the sachet in his hand, Lin Xiaoran whispered, "Is it too ugly to be embroidered? If Brother Shao doesn't like it, then next time..."
"No, I like it very much!" Feng Shao held it in his arms with great care, "I like everything Ran'er gives me."
Lin Xiaoran said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that the embroidery is a little ugly. I will practice more and embroider a nice one for Brother Shao next time!"
Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Even if there is something better in the future, it will not compare to this in my heart. Because this is not just a sachet, it also represents Ran'er's true love for me."
Only sincerity cannot be let down.
Lin Xiaoran suddenly felt his eyes getting hot, and couldn't help but dive into Feng Shao's arms, whispering: "Brother Shao, you are so mean, you always say things that make people want to cry."
The two hugged each other quietly, not noticing that night was approaching.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Shao finally spoke: "Okay, Ran'er, it's time for us to go down. There might be a good show tonight."
Lin Xiaoran immediately understood: "Brother Shao is talking about Chi Xuan, right?"
Feng Shao nodded and said thoughtfully: "This Chi Xuan always gives me a very special feeling. I have a feeling that he will make a big move tonight."
When the two walked into the lobby hand in hand, a group of invited geniuses were already being entertained by Guan Shuo, and the atmosphere was gradually becoming lively.
They were all well-known geniuses, and they were beyond the reach of countless people. Some of them had rich family backgrounds, and some were extremely talented. They had known each other for a long time. Many of them had never met each other, and finally took this opportunity today to get to know each other.
Guan Shuo and Han Lingxuan sat at the main seats with smiles on their faces, occasionally making some jokes to liven up the atmosphere. For a moment, both the host and the guests were having a great time.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran finally entered the lobby hand in hand.
Many people only felt a flash before their eyes, and saw a beautiful and smart girl in a blue dress, like a fairy among flowers, appear in front of them. The corners of her mouth seemed to be angry and smiling, and her clear eyes with a naive look were like a fairy seen in a dream, making it difficult for people to recover from the sight.
Although the man beside her was also handsome and dignified, he suddenly looked dull when compared with this fairy who seemed not to be from this human world.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the handsome man held the girl's fair and tender hand and said to everyone with a smile: "My name is Feng Shao, nice to meet you all."
Lin Xiaoran also bowed slightly to everyone and said, "I am Lin Xiaoran, and I am honored to meet you all."
At this time, many people were surprised to see Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran, who had been very popular recently. They all turned their eyes to Guan Shuo, waiting for his explanation.
Only Fang Yiming, the Son of Nine Yin, looked at Feng Shao with indifference in his eyes, as if he didn't take Feng Shao seriously at all.
Guan Shuo smiled and said to everyone: "Brother Feng is my best friend, so he is naturally indispensable to this banquet."
At this point, he pretended to blame: "Brother Feng, why did you come just now? Come to the table quickly, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Everyone couldn't help but wonder: Who is waiting for him? If I knew he was here, I wouldn't come!
But for Guan Shuo's sake, they could not say anything in rebuttal and could only raise their glasses in response.
Feng Shao then pulled Lin Xiaoran to sit on the seat Guan Shuo had specially prepared for them, raised his glass, and said to everyone, "Everyone, please drink this glass!"
As he spoke, Feng Shao drank the wine in the glass.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to drink a glass of wine.
Fang Yiming looked at Feng Shao with a mysterious look in his eyes. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran suddenly joining the table at this time. But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from the door: "Drinking, huh? Is there any for me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but put down their wine glasses and cast their eyes towards the door, with a look of surprise and doubt on their faces. A moment later, a young man in a black robe with gold edges walked in leisurely. He walked in a square step, with a look of arrogance, looking proud and arrogant. Behind him, followed closely four maids in gorgeous clothes and twelve men in black clothes in tight suits.
As soon as he walked in, the man smiled and said to Guan Shuo who was standing in front of him: "Brother Guan, why don't you invite me to such a big banquet and invite so many people to eat? This is really chilling!"
Guan Shuo supported his chin with his hand and smiled, "Even if I didn't invite you, you still came, didn't you?"
Although both of them were smiling, everyone present could hear the murderous intent hidden in their expressions. When their eyes met, they seemed to faintly see flames bursting out.
Then everyone understood.
A good show is about to begin!
