C544 A Friend of a Prince
People often used the phrase 'all brothers in the four seas' to describe how strong their relationships were when they were out in the world.
However, Zhang Chu did not like this kind of way of living.
The most harmonious and relaxed relationship. It was nothing more than a friendly relationship between the two of us. That was enough.
I'll ask you out. Spring comes to look for plum blossoms, summer comes to pick lotus flowers, autumn wind to cook crabs, winter rain to soak in soup. Lin Xing smiles as he waved his hand and says, "Goodbye.
I don't want anything from you. You don't want anything from me either.
This was Zhang Chu's shallow understanding of the word 'friend'. It couldn't be said to be of any significance, and it was even more inextricably linked to the word 'deep'.
However, there were always people who liked to treat Zhang Chu like a sugar daddy and eat him. They drank from him, played with him, and cursed at him when they turned their faces.
I treat you as my friend, and you treat me as your mistress? I can stay away from you. You'll continue to treat me as Saby? Then I can only f * ck you!
"This All-Bull Banquet is Boss Ma's goodwill. Everyone, let's eat together. Don't waste it." Zhang Chu ignored the two corpses that were dragged out and continued to warmly invite them.
Everyone looked at each other. They looked at each other, but didn't dare to make a move.
Ma Yiyi had just said that the consumption here was inversely proportional to the cultivation realm.
The higher the cultivation realm, the lower the consumption. The opposite was the same. The lower the cultivation realm, the higher the consumption.
All the cultivators present were Peak of Meditation Stage. One peanut was worth 10,000 yuan. Then, the Chief Chu in front of him, who had a table full of cows, was only asking for ten thousand? Then, how high was Chief Chu's cultivation realm? No one dared to ponder deeply, but there was one thing that they were certain of. This friendly young man in front of them, who had a faint smile on his face all along, was very terrifying!
Beneath the gentle appearance of spring and March, there was probably the fierceness and fierceness of the twelfth lunar month hidden!
Although everyone had their own 'enormous' sects as their backers, it was clearly not a good idea to continue offending this unfathomable young man in this narrow space.
Under the fear, everyone gladly accepted Zhang Chu's good intentions. They picked up their chopsticks and prepared to 'reward' Zhang Chu.
However, one of the burly men with a full beard had just picked up his chopsticks when Zhao Tang, who was sitting opposite him, said softly, "We, Chief Chu have always been magnanimous. Even if there are people who flatter us on the surface and curse us in their hearts, our sect leader will still let them eat their fill."
The burly man's hand trembled. He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and laughed. "I'm not hungry."
The practitioners beside him looked at each other in dismay. As if they had realized something, they also put down their chopsticks, indicating that they were full just now.
Then, they sat around the table like statues.
Even an idiot would understand that Zhang Chu and Zhao Tang, one had a pale face while the other had a dark face. Putting aside Zhang Chu's kindness and magnanimity, just the few people around Zhang Chu were like tigers and tigers, eating people without spitting out their bones.
Although Lin Qingyan knew that Zhang Chu didn't have any ill intentions towards him, he could still feel the strange atmosphere in the room, and his forehead was still sweating profusely.
Zhang Chu ignored the others. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lin Qingyan's. He drank it all in one gulp and exclaimed in satisfaction.
"Brother, how should I address you?"
"Ahem... My surname is Lin, and my name is Green. I am Yan. However, this name is no longer popular, so everyone calls me Lin Qingyan. "
Zhang Chu couldn't help but smile when he heard Lin Qingyan's reply. "I can see that Brother Lin came from a well-educated family. I wonder if you have heard of the Exquisite Brush Hall?"
At first, Lin Qingyan was shy and submissive. He always felt that staying by Zhang Chu's side gave him a sense of danger, as if accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger.
When he heard the words "Exquisite Brush Hall," his eyes lit up. "Of course I've heard of it! The music and poetry of the Exquisite Brush Hall... A few years ago, I was lucky enough to pass by the Exquisite Brush Hall. We were warmly invited by the disciples of the Exquisite Brush Hall to drink tea and discuss the Dao. To recite poems to oppose, to brush ink with words. That is the best time of my life. "
When he said this, Lin Qingyan's eyes became gloomy again. "It's a pity... I heard that Exquisite Brush Hall went to One-Line Mountain to fight for the Devil Arts, and they suffered a great loss. " Especially the two brothers, Jin Ping and Jin Li, who were both talented in poetry, but they died in a foreign land... " Lin Qingyan's eyes turned red, and he felt sorry for the loss.
This was indeed a great tragedy in the cultivation world. Zhang Chu couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned it again.
However, with the help of the Exquisite Brush Hall, the conversation became much easier.
Zhang Chu asked casually, "Brother Lin, do you know the recent rumors about the 'Ten New Talents'?"
"Rumors?" Lin Qingyan raised his wine cup and drank it. Only then did he calm down a bit: "It's not just the rumors. The rankings of these Ten New Excellencies are made up by hidden Virtuous Paragons from the cultivation world. Everyone in the cultivation world knows about them."
Hidden Virtuous Paragons?
Zhang Chu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that... Gong Yuqing was also one of the hidden Virtuous Paragons?
The so-called Virtuous Paragons didn't necessarily need powerful strength or prestige that shook the world. However, there was no doubt about their knowledge reserves and authority. They were the organizers of many 'rules and regulations' in the current cultivation world. As long as it was a rule set by a Virtuous Paragon, even the high-level cultivators of the Secluded Sect had to abide by it.
Because of this, every word that came out of a Virtuous Paragon's mouth was as heavy as a thousand gold coins.
"Is there... a rookie in this village?" Zhang Chu pretended to be casual and casually asked.
This was what Zhang Chu cared about the most. It was also the reason why he invited Lin Qingyan so warmly.
After all, every rookie was the top cultivator in the cultivation world, and their strength was unparalleled. They were undoubtedly competitors for Zhang Chu.
Not only that!
Besides Zhang Chu and Shen Lang, there was a high possibility that there were other 'successors' among these rookies.
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light. If any of the successors launched a sneak attack, it would definitely affect Zhang Chu's life and death.
The corner of Lin Qingyan's mouth curled up, forming a longing smile. "The top ten rookies are all outstanding individuals, and their whereabouts are extremely secretive. Even if they really come to the village, I'm afraid they won't let outsiders know about it. But... even if they know, so what? Any sect facing a rookie alone is akin to throwing an egg at a rock."
Speaking up to this point, Lin Qingyan let out a long sigh. "Sigh, let's talk about it. I didn't want to cause trouble here, but the sect leader gave the order, so I didn't dare disobey."
"Even if the heavens didn't give me a great responsibility, my mind will still suffer. It will tire my muscles and bones and starve my skin." Lin Qingyan smiled bitterly.
Looking at Lin Qingyan's miserable appearance, Zhang Chu felt pity for him.
Zhao Tang asked at the perfect time. "I heard that Zhang Chu from Dongzhou might come here..."
"Zhang Chu from Dongzhou?" Lin Qingyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then turned fiery hot. Because he was too excited, he became excited.
