Chapter 101: Pei Yu

~12 min read 2,301 words

A group of people went out, and there was a restaurant at the corner, which was quite tall among the buildings in the capital.

Sheng Yuanyao didn't stop and walked past directly.

"Eh eh eh." Lu Xingzhou stopped her strangely: "Is this restaurant not delicious? It looks quite tall."

"This is called Yanyu Building, with seven floors, a famous building in the capital, the wine and dishes are of course delicious, and there are some rare wonders." Sheng Yuanyao said leisurely: "If you can go to the top floor to overlook the misty rain, drink wine and discuss papers, it counts as a scene."

"Then why not eat here?" Pei Chuyun was moved: "It sounds very good."

"Because your Young Master is in a wheelchair, do you really want to carry him to the seventh floor? Just find a private room on the first floor to eat."

Pei Chuyun: "......Actually, it's possible."

It was all because of this bastard's boring kick to the crotch that made it inconvenient for everyone to eat.

Sheng Yuanyao said: "It's not easy to go up; you have to fight on every floor, and you have to win the guards on every floor to go up. So although there are no private rooms on the top floor, everyone is watching the scenery on the first floor, so there are no white people coming and going."

This time it became Lu Xingzhou who was somewhat moved: "What is the highest guard? Could it be first rank on the first floor, and finally third rank?"

"No, third rank is a guest of others wherever they go, how can there be difficulties? The last three floors are just fifth-rank lower, middle, and upper stages, and there are not even fourth-rank ones. The original intention is to screen some young seedlings for recruitment and cultivation. If young people reach the fourth rank, they are often at the forefront of the New Talent List; do they still need this restaurant to screen?"

"Does this restaurant have a background? Ordinary people can't play such tricks."

"Pei family's." Sheng Yuanyao said: "Actually, it's just talk; for example, I don't need to fight if I really want to go up...... Ultimately, it's a place that talks about human face."

This Pei family came out, Lu Xingzhou and Pei Chuyun looked at each other: "Just here."

"......I don't want to fight, you guys do."

"Is your face just this?"

Sheng Yuanyao said angrily: "If you guys were my followers, no. But you are outside guests."

Lu Xingzhou laughed: "Meaning I can fight, they don't have to."

Sheng Yuanyao looked him up and down: "Hey, you just arrived, really want to be so prominent?"

"I came to the capital this time, destined to be prominent, don't you still want to eat melons......" Lu Xingzhou turned the wheelchair leisurely: "Let's go."

"Oh, Miss Sheng." As soon as they entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper greeted them: "Miss Sheng hasn't been here for some days."

Sheng Yuanyao said: "I want to go to the seventh floor. These are all my followers, and this one in the wheelchair is my helper little Gou."

Lu Xingzhou: "......"

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Xingzhou with a smile: "Then follow me."

Even Sheng Yuanyao was stunned. She was just joking, but she didn't expect that she really didn't have to fight? Is the rule of Yanyu Building so loose now?

As a result, the shopkeeper added: "This Mr. Lu, just fight the last floor. The first few floors are just screening some nameless people, Mr. Lu is also famous on the New Talent List, no need to fight slowly."

Sheng Yuanyao's face was burning, and she insisted: "What deer, I said he is a dog, he is a dog."

"Good, good, good, whatever Miss Sheng says he is." The shopkeeper led the way upstairs: "It's mainly because Young Master Pei is treating guests above, so I can't specialize. Otherwise, just for Miss Sheng's face, I wouldn't have to fight."

Sheng Yuanyao's expression moved: "Who is Pei Yu treating?"

"New Talent Seventh, twenty-two-year-old fourth-rank upper stage, Chu Qingchen of the Huanhua Sword Sect."

"Not bad." Sheng Yuanyao's expression was quite happy: "I'll go and get to know him."

When they reached the stairs, A'nuo was about to carry the wheelchair, but Pei Chuyun stopped her helplessly: "I'll do it."

Letting a child carry it, my maid acting is in vain.

Sheng Yuanyao glanced at Pei Chuyun who was climbing the seven floors with the wheelchair, and found it quite funny in her heart; this green tea is also quite cute......

Lu Xingzhou was asking: "Hey, why is this Chu Qingchen seventh, and Shen Tang only thirtieth, even though they are both twenty-two-year-old fourth-rank upper stage."

In fact, Shen Tang is third-rank now, properly killing this Chu Qingchen.

Sheng Yuanyao sighed: "Because your Shen Tang's leg is broken, can she really compare with the same rank?"

Lu Xingzhou hummed twice: "That's not necessarily true, how can you calculate it like this."

As they spoke, they soon reached the stairs of the seventh floor, and a middle-aged man was guarding there.

The shopkeeper stepped aside: "Does Mr. Lu want to challenge? Mr. Zhang is fifth-rank upper stage, you are only sixth-rank middle stage, and your body is not convenient. If you don't want to challenge, the sixth floor is not bad."

Lu Xingzhou said: "Just let Miss Sheng see if the wheelchair affects fighting."

Sheng Yuanyao stepped aside with interest, Pei Chuyun rolled her eyes, too lazy to even look.

Generally, fifth-rank cultivators might not be able to beat Huo Lu. Huo Lu's learning was high, and he was played like a rookie by Lu Xingzhou, and he still had the energy to design to catch her...... How could ordinary cultivators play with Lu Xingzhou......

Moreover, Lu Xingzhou was no longer the sixth-rank middle stage that people knew...... On this carriage trip of sightseeing, he quietly reached the sixth-rank upper stage. These breakthroughs that were a hurdle for ordinary people were no hurdle for Lu Xingzhou.

When he broke through, he was still secretly touching Pei Chuyun's hand under the excuse of taking snacks. She gave him a slap, Lu Xingzhou was taken aback and parried, and just like that, he broke through......

That Mr. Zhang looked at Lu Xingzhou, with slight contempt in his eyes: "Mr. Lu, right? You strike first."

"Really let me strike first?" Lu Xingzhou smiled: "Then how embarrassing."

Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "It's the guest who strikes first."

"Is that so? Then Mr. Zhang, be careful." Lu Xingzhou looked like a rookie, clenching his fist, almost no energy gathering could be seen.

Mr. Zhang glanced at it, too lazy to do any defense.

A punch was thrown, silent.

Mr. Zhang blocked it casually, and with a "bang," he fell backward and hit the wall.

The wall seemed to have a magic array blessing, very strong, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago if it were an ordinary restaurant.

"I would have let go if I knew it was reinforced." Lu Xingzhou withdrew his fist and turned to the dumbfounded shopkeeper: "Can we go up?"

The shopkeeper woke up from a dream and apologized: "Yes, yes."

Laughter came from the stairs: "I think Mr. Lu's strength shouldn't be on the Alchemy Assistant List, he should have been on the New Talent List long ago. The Demon Suppression Division's intelligence is unqualified."

Sheng Yuanyao lost face: "Hey, Lu Xingzhou's strength intelligence was submitted by me."

"Ha...... That means Mr. Lu was hiding his clumsiness in Xiazhou."

Lu Xingzhou looked up and saw a gentle white-clothed young man arching his hands at him: "Hedong Pei Yu, met Mr. Lu."

Lu Xingzhou subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at Pei Chuyun, trying to find if their eyebrows were similar, and forcibly endured it, arching his hands: "Nice to meet you. Brother Pei is only one year older than me, but has already broken through to the fourth rank. This is a real dragon and phoenix among people, Lu is not comparable."

"The real dragon and phoenix among people should be the one assisted by Mr. Lu." Pei Yu made a "please" gesture very politely.

Pei Chuyun carried the wheelchair upstairs and passed by Pei Yu, seemingly indifferent.

As Sheng Yuanyao said, there were no private rooms on the top floor. The empty roof was only distributed with four tables at the four corners, not interfering with each other. There were no walls on the floor, and looking far away from the railing, the misty rain was hazy, and the scenery of the capital was in sight, which felt very flavorful.

At this time, the four tables were only occupied by Pei Yu's table, and Sheng Yuanyao sat at the next table with Lu Xingzhou and his party.

Lu Xingzhou secretly transmitted to Pei Chuyun: "How is it, does it feel like it?"

Pei Chuyun shook her head, hard to distinguish.

Ultimately, men and women are different, and it's hard to say whether it's like or not, it's a bit preconceived. However, Pei Yu is indeed very handsome; anyway, these aristocratic sons and daughters are almost not ugly, generations of genetic optimization, it's not easy to be ugly, not to mention the world of cultivation always makes skin and temperament better.

Sheng Yuanyao was ordering food with the menu, and Pei Yu smiled from the next table: "I'm thinking whether to share a table, everyone doesn't have many people."

Lu Xingzhou laughed: "Brother Pei and I are too close, I'm afraid it's not very good."

Pei Yu "pfft" laughed: "That little thing about the Huo family? Even without Brother Lu, we and the Huo family are also mutually disgusted. What Brother Lu did is called satisfying to us, and Pei originally wanted to invite Brother Lu to drink."

Lu Xingzhou looked at Sheng Yuanyao, asking for her opinion. Sheng Yuanyao looked at the menu and said leisurely: "If your Pei family wants to treat, you can make another appointment. Lu Xingzhou is going to stay in the capital for a long time, not leaving today. I'm picking up an old friend, I don't want to give up this main seat."

So in fact, Sheng Yuanyao didn't want to be too close to the Pei family, and didn't want to be too deeply involved in the party struggle.

Pei Yu understood, laughed: "The little aunt of the Sheng family is still so ungiving, forget it, make another appointment."

Sheng Yuanyao finished ordering, handed the menu, leaned on the back of the chair and smiled at Lu Xingzhou: "You know how to ask for my opinion, I thought you couldn't wait to go over and conspire with the Pei family."

Lu Xingzhou laughed: "You are my friend, they are not."

Sheng Yuanyao was very satisfied: "Those things of yours, I just eat melons, don't let me get involved. But you can find me for small things like getting an identity for your green tea, I am now although not a commander who says what counts, the level is higher."

"What position now?"

"Public security and theft." Sheng Yuanyao sighed: "In the capital, if there are any strong cases, it's not our turn, basically it's some petty theft, ordinary fighting and murder cases...... Even these are actually mostly the work of the Jingzhao government office, and there are few things for us to do, it counts as lying down and eating."

Lu Xingzhou laughed: "Looking at your attitude, if you are sent to be responsible for one side, you want to return to the capital. If you return to the capital to lie down, you have a feeling of uselessness. You say, why bother?"

Sheng Yuanyao said: "Others are okay, it's just that once I'm idle, my family wants to arrange a blind date for me, it's annoying. Now I regret running back again......"

Lu Xingzhou pointed to Pei Yu's side secretly: "I think that one is quite suitable, married or not?"

"People are already married." Sheng Yuanyao sneered: "This kind of family background is too high, it's not my turn."

"Yo, do you really think about it?"

"Which age-appropriate one haven't I thought about?" Sheng Yuanyao stared: "You are not forced to marry, what do you know?"

Lu Xingzhou was about to say something, and footsteps came from the stairs again.

Everyone subconsciously stopped talking and turned to look, and saw a young man enter arrogantly, his eyes swept around, landed on Lu Xingzhou's face for a long time, and said lightly: "Father invites Mr. Lu to the mansion for a talk."

Lu Xingzhou poured wine on his own, without raising his head: "Which one is your father?"

The visitor said arrogantly: "Father is the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

The whole floor was silent, only the sound of Lu Xingzhou pouring wine was dripping.

Marquis of Zhenyuan, Huo Xingyuan.

This young man is the Fifth Young Master of the Huo family, Huo Jin.

Pei Yu looked at Lu Xingzhou with interest, Lu Xingzhou sipped wine leisurely, and said lightly: "I thought who was so uneducated, disturbing people's meal, it turned out to be the Huo family, then it's not strange......"

Huo Jin's face sank: "I invited you personally, I have given enough face, don't eat the toast and eat the penalty."

"You invited me personally? What are you?" Lu Xingzhou said lazily: "Go back and tell your father, the Huo family's meal is disgusting to me, I won't go."

Huo Jin didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He really didn't think that Lu Xingzhou would not even do a face-saving work, and publicly challenged the Huo family as soon as he arrived in the capital...... Really not afraid of dying in a dark alley?
