Chapter 78: Righteous and Demonic Are One Family

The constables scattered and sat down. Head Constable Wei didn't exaggerate at all; a lot of people really came, and the tables were almost full.

The Branch Master's table was in the middle, surrounded by constables. It looked quite harmonious, which could be called righteous and demonic being one family.

Chi Xulong lowered his head in fear. Don't look at how arrogant he was rumored to be outside; that was the image he built for himself. When he did bad things, he either disguised himself or covered his face, and when he encountered people from the government, he would hide as far as he could.

Now he couldn't hide, so he could only lower his head and pretend to be an ostrich.

"Head Constable Wei, I'm here." Lu Yang greeted Head Constable Wei with a smile.

Chi Xulong widened his eyes, looking at Lu Yang in disbelief. So you kid are the shopkeeper!

"You guys have already started eating." Head Constable Wei was a bit embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. What do you guys want to eat?"

Head Constable Wei waved his hand: "With so many people, don't order. Just serve whatever you have."

"Good." Lu Yang agreed. He guessed Head Constable Wei would think so too.

The constables smelled the fragrance of the Branch Master's table and swallowed their saliva subconsciously.

It was mealtime now, and they were hungry in the first place. Smelling the fragrance made them even hungrier.

Fortunately, Lu Yang was well prepared. Before Head Constable Wei and the others arrived, he let the vengeful ghosts go all out, grilling a portion first, and serving the dishes as soon as people arrived.

Soon Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu brought up plates of grilled skewers, letting Head Constable Wei and the others cushion their stomachs first.

Head Constable Wei didn't say anything, but he was very grateful to Lu Yang in his heart. Otherwise, waiting for a long time while smelling the fragrance, he would definitely be complained about by his colleagues when he went back.

"Let me introduce, this is our Chief Constable, Fang Qingyun!"

Fang Qingyun shook hands with Lu Yang politely. As a Golden Core stage cultivator, he could tell Lu Yang was a cultivator.

Not only could he tell Lu Yang was a cultivator, but he could also tell that everyone at the Branch Master's table was a cultivator.

He didn't say anything. There were many cultivators opening shops, and as long as they didn't touch the law, what did it have to do with him?

Opening a barbecue shop wasn't against the law.

The table was occupied, so it was occupied. As the Chief Constable, he couldn't suppress people with power; spreading it out would affect his reputation.

After Lu Yang sat down with a smile, Chi Xulong cursed in a low voice, complaining to the Branch Master: "You bastard, you have bad intentions. Why didn't you say earlier that the constables were coming?!"

Lu Yang was very aggrieved: "Isn't this to let you guys build a good relationship with the government officials? You guys should seize this opportunity."

Lu Yang pointed to the banner on the wall: "See? This is the banner Head Constable Wei gave me."

He made it up casually: "Before joining the organization, I specially found a stronghold in advance, paved the relationship, and got on the line with the government. This way, no matter what I do, the government won't suspect me. I can even eavesdrop on intelligence when they come here to drink."

Branch Master Chu nodded. Lu Yang's words were reasonable and well-founded, matching the Sect Master's evaluation.

The Sect Master said that the three of them acting foolishly was actually deep in meaning. Looking at them doing things couldn't just look at the appearance.

Just the point of taking the initiative to build a relationship with the government officials showed courage and ideas that exceeded most people in the sect!

"Come, drink."

After a few skewers, Head Constable Wei and the others started drinking.

As more and more skewers were eaten, the constables were all in high spirits, drinking round after round, cups and cups intertwined, very lively.

In sharp contrast to the lively surroundings was the Branch Master's table in the middle, drinking so carefully, fearing that if they drank too much, they would leak something.

Later, they didn't even drink wine, changing to tea.

Head Constable Wei saw that this table wasn't in the mood, feeling it might be caused by his arrival, and felt guilty, carrying a wine glass over.

"Come, come, come, don't mind us. We are ordinary people after the shift. Coming to the barbecue shop isn't to eat happily and drink to our heart's content!"

"Come, let's have a drink!" Head Constable Wei said to Chi Xulong.

Chi Xulong carefully picked up the teacup. Head Constable Wei was unhappy, his face straight: "Drinking tea, what's that about? Not giving face, right? Pour wine!"

Chi Xulong had no choice, so he had to bite the bullet and pour the thirty-year-old spirit wine he brought, drinking it in one gulp.

Seeing Head Constable Wei drinking in circles, other constables were clearly drunk and followed suit, drinking with the Branch Master's table, drinking to their heart's content.

No one asked Lu Yang and the other three to drink. The boss drinking too much definitely wouldn't work.

The alcohol content of thirty-year-old spirit wine was too strong for the Foundation Establishment stage to resolve. Chi Xulong and the others were all drunk.

Seeing that they had drunk enough, the Branch Master found an excuse and left.

Once the boss left, under the influence of alcohol, people gradually let go. Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi hooked their shoulders and backs, determined to unite and make a name for themselves in the Immortal-Decaying Sect. 【78-

"Chi Xulong, your biggest flaw is that your temper is too impulsive and too flashy; you should be more restrained!" Shen Jinyi said, considering things for Chi Xulong.

Chi Xulong was displeased. He was naturally free-spirited and did not like being criticized by others: "Forget it. If my temper is flashy, then what about you, acting like a coward, not daring to make a move yourself, and raising a bunch of students to do the work for you?"

"Acting all shifty like a woman!"

Shen Jinyi was furious: "Chi Xulong, don't be ungrateful. I'm looking out for you; don't you dare bite the hand that feeds you!"

Chi Xulong was even angrier than Shen Jinyi: "Who are you calling a dog!"

Having said that, he punched Shen Jinyi in the face.

Shen Jinyi could not take such an insult. If he swallowed his pride this time, given Chi Xulong's temper, he would definitely push his luck.

Shen Jinyi picked up his wine cup and splashed it. Although Chi Xulong was drunk, his reflexes were still sharp. He tilted his head to dodge, and the wine splashed onto the face of Bai Zifang, who was watching the commotion.

Bai Zifang was not someone easy to get along with either. Having suffered an unprovoked disaster, he had to get it back. He gave him a taste of his own medicine, splashing wine all over Shen Jinyi. That wasn't the end of it; he also smashed a plate into Shen Jinyi's face.

The three of them tangled into a brawl. Others tried to intervene, but ended up being accidentally injured, which left them full of rage.

We were kind enough not to let you make a fool of yourselves, and not only are you ungrateful, but you dare to hit me?

You've got some nerve!

The spirit wine was too potent, and everyone's brains were not functioning well. Regardless of whether they were in a crowd of constables, they all started moving.

Clatter—

Someone didn't know who overturned the table, and things fell onto the table next door.

The constables had never seen such arrogant people—cultivators gathering to fight.

And this was with the constables right there; if they weren't, who knows what kind of fight it would have turned into.

Cultivators gathering to fight could accidentally kill bystanders if they weren't careful. The nature of the offense was severe and had to be punished!

Chief Constable Fang Qingyun saw this and released his pressure, directly suppressing the Demonic Sect members.

"Take them away and let them sober up in the jail!"

The sect members instantly sobered up, realized what had happened, and broke out in a cold sweat.

This time, too many people had come all at once. The two vengeful ghosts were so busy that even their projections couldn't keep up. Seeing this, Seeing Man Gu personally joined in. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shuttled back and forth between the backyard and the main hall, and the grilled skewers disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yang lifted the door curtain and said apologetically: "Sorry everyone, the skewers are all sold out... what's going on here?"

Lu Yang saw the arrogant and domineering sect members sitting obediently in the main hall, while the constables looked at them with sneers.

Constable Wei said in a low voice: "Sorry, Shopkeeper Lu. Your friends gathered to fight. The Chief Constable dislikes it most when cultivators do this. The commotion was too big, and passersby noticed. If we don't punish them, it won't look good."

Lu Yang: "..."

In all fairness, Lu Yang did have the intention of playing a prank by arranging the sect members and constables at the same table, but he truly didn't expect this group to be so bold as to fight in front of the constables.

Meng Jingzhou curled his lip: "I told you, don't drink. Nothing good ever comes from drinking."

On the day of the welcome party, Chi Xulong and the others were detained for ten days for gathering to fight.

After Branch Master Chu learned of this, he couldn't recover for a long while.
