Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-six additional rewards
bsp;The incident happened suddenly and everyone was shocked!
Qiqi was also stunned for a moment, not understanding what happened.
I heard Qianye's cold voice saying indifferently: "I am a civilian, only level four, so what? Don't you want to teach me, a **** from the slums, a lesson? Then stand up and continue!"
The young man's limbs twitched, and he struggled to get up several times, but finally fell to the ground and fainted.
The martial arts in the empire is extremely strong, and duels at banquets are not uncommon. After being surprised, most of the first people to burst into cheers were young girls, with fiery, bold and shining eyes. Most of the young nobles looked hesitant. Chikila's hatred had not subsided when they entered. Now that they heard that Qianye was just a commoner, most of them felt offended.
Qianye raised his right arm. The tight-fitting dress was really in the way, so he simply pulled off the gem cufflinks and unbuttoned his shirt. Then he glanced at the companions who were standing with the young man just now, and said coldly: "Who else is coming?"
Qiqi’s eyes flashed, looking forward to a good show. Yuan Zeyu shook his head and said nothing.
The young men froze on the spot, looking uneasily at their fallen companions and then at Qianye, not knowing how to respond. The companion who was knocked to the ground by a punch was a fifth-level soldier. Not only was he the highest-level soldier among them, he was also the most powerful. The young people could not understand why their companions were defeated so quickly, but at least they knew that in exchange for It's all for nothing if you go up there yourself.
At this time, angry voices rang out from the crowd on the south side of the hall, and a noble young man shouted: "This is not a place where you, a mere fourth-level soldier, can act arrogantly? If I teach you a lesson, I believe Miss Qiqi That’s understandable! ”
Qianye raised his eyes and said directly: "Then come!"
The young man was so angry that he took a big step forward. Suddenly a hand pressed his shoulder and he could no longer move. He looked back and was surprised: "Cousin?"
Appearing next to him was a slightly older aristocratic young man with a similar appearance to him. The latter first nodded to Qianye from afar, then turned around and coldly scolded: "You have made progress, Liu. Level 4? Humph! Do you want to embarrass our Shen family?" After he finished speaking, he dragged the impulsive noble young man back into the crowd.
Qiqi upstairs whistled and said: "Shen Rongan is really a fox! Although his clan brother is at level six, he may not be able to win against my little Qianye if he is really going to end!"
Yuan Zeyu nodded slowly and said: "The little guy you brought is extremely powerful, and it is indeed rare for his force to be condensed to such an extent. I am afraid that if the average sixth-level soldier is a little careless, he is not really him. opponent."
The hall below was completely deserted.
Shen Rong'an's move to take away his own clan brother poured cold water on many hot-headed aristocratic young people who were eager to try.
Most of the people who were able to attend the city lord's banquet were not idiots. Qianye's punch just now was so violent and violent that even the fifth-level soldiers were defeated with one blow. And the guy who fell to the ground was not the kind of parallel import with empty Force power. How could someone with no self-confidence rashly come forward to cause trouble in such a gathering of people from this family?
Level 5 soldiers no longer dare to leave the field, and if a level 6 soldier leaves the field, it will be too embarrassing no matter whether he wins or loses.
Qiqi smiled and said: "Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry for messing up your banquet. I'll apologize to you some other time!" Although she said this, her face was full of joy, and she looked at the people under the wall. A young man who had just been lifted up by his companions.
Yuan Zeyu smiled bitterly. He also recognized that the man who was knocked unconscious by Qianye was Ye Mulan's cousin. Fortunately, Ye Mulan was already angry with Qiqi, otherwise, there would be another conflict, and the situation would not be easy to deal with.
After a while, Qiqi took Qianye and left early. After getting into the silver car, Qiqi immediately asked happily about the cause.
The matter is actually very simple. When everyone couldn't find out anything substantial from Qianye, Ye Mulan's cousin suddenly appeared. He had obviously gotten the news from a certain channel, so he opened his mouth and asked Qianye if he was a civilian.
For Qianye, he could not disclose his information, but he did not intend to lie about it, so he admitted it frankly.
Ye Mulan’s cousin immediately mocked Qianye mercilessly, saying that a poor guy from a slum could only earn a living with his face, and he didn’t know if he had eaten this fourth-level force. How many potions did it take for Qiqi to get it?
Qianye felt there was no need to talk to this kind of person, so he just asked coldly: "Do you think you are strong?"
The young man, who is a fifth-level soldier, sneered and replied: "Of course! What, you want to try a fight?"
"Okay."
Then Qianye raised his energy, gathered his strength, and punched out. He was as heavy as a mountain and faster than lightning. He knocked the young man unconscious with one punch. If Qianye hadn't withdrawn his strength in time and didn't attack his vitals, just one punch would have driven the young man into a near-death state.
Qianye said it simply, but Qiqi obviously didn't hear enough and continued to ask: "That's all? There must be more than that! You got into a fight at the dinner! What else did he say?"
Qianye smiled bitterly: "He said I was a **** who came out of the slums."
"This" Qiqi didn't understand. This was just an ordinary curse word, so why did Qianye react so loudly.
Qianye was silent for a moment and said: "I grew up in a garbage dump and never knew who my parents were."
The smile on Qiqi's face suddenly faded, and then gradually expanded, like spring flowers blooming, she said with a half-smile: "No matter how much, you made me very happy tonight, so there will be a reward. Close your eyes!" ”
Qianye closed his eyes for no apparent reason. Suddenly, a fragrant wind hit my nose, and my left cheek felt warm, soft and moist, as if I had been kissed!
This little episode on the return journey was quickly forgotten by Qianye. No matter what she does now, this eldest lady, whose personality, habits and even orientation are different from ordinary people, no longer surprises him.
For a young lady of her status, everything comes too easily, so in order to pursue excitement, she often has quirks of one kind or another. However, Qianye felt that her personal hobbies had nothing to do with him. All he needed to do was complete the task well and be worthy of the generous remuneration he received.
Qianye spent four days ahead of schedule to complete basic etiquette training. There were no new instructions from Qiqi, so he divided his daily schedule into two categories: training and battlefield analysis.
In the following days, Qianye used up all the potions, but there was still some distance before he could reach the fifth level. During this period, Qianye only met Qiqi once. She suddenly asked if he still needed any potion. She didn't know whether she noticed that he had used a sufficient dose but did not ignite new force nodes, or she just mentioned it casually. But Qianye refused because he didn't want to get too much that he didn't deserve.
In his spare time while practicing, Qianye continued to read information and soon had a general understanding of the area around Xichang City.
At noon that day, Ji Yuanjia came to Qianye’s residence and invited him out for lunch.
Qianye also wanted to know more about Qiqi’s assessment mission, because he had already started planning to go to the battlefield, so he readily agreed and followed Ji Yuanjia to the ‘Tongquetai’ restaurant in the city.
This is a magnificent retro building with a ten-foot-high platform and five floors. The windows and doors are decorated with brass inlays. When the sun is at its strongest at noon, the stream of light shines brightly.
Both sides of the high platform are wide enough to land small aeroboats. The water from the river under the platform is stored in the rooftop Tianchi through a secret channel, and then leaks from the side walls, creating a spectacular scene of waterfalls splashing jade. It is said that the chefs and many ingredients of this restaurant are shipped from the upper continent, and the price is even more expensive than the upper continent.
Ji Yuanjia parked the off-road vehicle and walked towards the gate with Qianye. He said with a smile: "The quality here is truly upper continent quality, and of course the price is too. So you can't let go and eat for a while. Otherwise I won’t be able to pay the bill.”
Qianye smiled slightly and had a better impression of Ji Yuanjia. He liked to deal with people who spoke directly and straightforwardly.
The two of them chose a seat by the window and sat down, with the waterfall right in front of them. Due to the good sound insulation design, there is only a little rumble that seems to come from far away, which not only creates an artistic conception but does not affect the conversation between guests.
After the waiter brought the menu, Qianye flipped through it and realized how expensive this place was. Even the cheapest dish costs one gold coin, while the more expensive ones cost three digits. In other words, half a year's salary of a lieutenant colonel is lost if he orders a big dish.
Qianye only ordered the two cheapest dishes and put down the menu, but Ji Yuanjia was actually much more generous than he said and added three or four restaurant specialties. This meal must have eaten up his entire month's salary.
When the food was served, Qianye realized what upper continental quality was. The portions of the dishes are incredibly small, but they are also incredibly exquisite.
The main dish is originally a fish, but it is shaped like a dragon head, and the dinner plate is decorated with a sea of clouds. This is a genuine hand-painted sea of clouds, in the style of ink painting. Even a guy like Qianye who doesn't know how to paint can see the extraordinary momentum of the layout and brushstrokes. For this alone, the person who decorated the plate was an accomplished painter.
"How do you feel?" Ji Yuanjia asked with a smile.
"I think the decoration on the plate is more expensive than the food." Qianye told the truth.
Ji Yuanjia smiled and said: "It was the same as my initial thought, but later I realized that the food is actually more expensive."
Qianye looked at the dishes that looked like paintings and calligraphy, and said with a wry smile: "Now I know why I can't just eat it. This little bit of food is not enough to make a base."
Ji Yuanjia smiled even more cheerfully and said: "For us, the meaning of going to this place is just to experience it. What we have eaten is more important than how we tasted it. At least in the future, we will not be just because of nothing. Known and ridiculed."
"Why are you being laughed at?" Qianye was a little confused.
Ji Yuanjia said with a hint of self-deprecation: "Because I am from a humble family, and you are a commoner. Although a humble family is a little better than a commoner, in the eyes of the nobles, we are all the same. For those nobles, evaluation The standard of a person is very simple: the ones above need to be flattered, and those below are not as good as them. So in their eyes, there is no difference between the poor and the poor, because we are not as good as the nobles."
This is a very powerful logic, which makes Qianye feel like his eyes have been opened.
"Do you know why I invite you here for dinner?"
"Why?"
"Because at the banquet that day, your punch was so **** relieving!" Ji Yuanjia, who has always been gentle and elegant, also made a rare swear word.
"That person has a grudge against you?" Qianye asked doubtfully.
Ji Yuanjia breathed out heavily and said: "There is no question of having a grudge. Later you will understand how disgusting those people are. Come on, do it first!"
The two of them went back and forth and quickly drank a bottle of wine. Qianye's face was slightly red, and his movements were obviously sluggish, while Ji Yuanjia's face also flushed. It seemed that his drinking capacity was not particularly good.
Ji Yuanjia shook the empty wine bottle and shouted: "Two more bottles!"
The waiter quickly delivered it. The rice wine here is really good, and what’s even more rare is that it’s not expensive. The price of one gold coin per bottle is simply too reasonable in this place.
"Qianye, do you have a woman?" Ji Yuanjia suddenly asked.
"No, what?" Qianye asked inexplicably.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just asking."
Ji Yuanjia brushed it off casually. He originally wanted to introduce a few good girls he knew to Qianye. As Qiqi's real lieutenant, of course he knew that Qianye's lover's identity was fake.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the unusually obvious lip mark on Qianye's cheek when he got out of the car the night he returned from the banquet to the Yin Family Courtyard. A light blue-purple color, it was Qiqi's favorite special color, and Ji Yuanjia would never admit it wrong.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanjia couldn't help but feel slight twitching and pain in his heart. He immediately suppressed this small unpleasantness and threw the lip mark into the corner of his heart.
But he also woke up a little. Although Qiqi may have just found a fresh toy temporarily and will abandon it after a while, Ji Yuanjia will not do it to Qian while her novelty has not faded. Night introduces girl's follies.
Qianye looked at Ji Yuanjia who suddenly became distracted with some strangeness.
"Qianye, Miss Qiqi is the most cherished kind of woman. If there is a chance, it is worth fighting for. Do you understand what I mean?" Ji Yuanjia said it very straightforwardly this time. .
Qianye frowned slightly and said: "This is just a task for me. In addition, the status gap between her and me is too big, there is no possibility."
"Are you the kind of person who cares about the gap in status?"
"Yes." Qianye smiled.
Ji Yuanjia shrugged. If Qianye cared about his status, he would not have punched the noble boy in the face at the dinner. It's just that for many people, Qi Dafei is a threshold that cannot be crossed, and he himself is not the same.
"Aha! Guess who I saw? Isn't this Miss Qiqi's new little pet?" A sinister voice came from the side.
