Zhou Yu and the others entered the private room and after they were seated, a maid brought tea and fruit platters.
Next to the round table was a huge window. Through the window, one could clearly see the high platform below.
The singing and dancing on the high platform had stopped and was replaced by a zither player in a purple dress. Her figure was graceful and her face was covered with a thin veil, making her look somewhat mysterious.
Gao Zhengyang did not know what the zither player was playing, he only felt that the sound was clean and clear, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, with the wonder of cleansing the mortal world and reaching straight to nature.
The others were not in the mood to enjoy the zither music, they either stared at Gao Zhengyang as if they had seen a ghost, or were deep in thought.
The conflict just now was very short, but it had a huge impact on everyone.
Shi Xuantong was a disciple of the Pure Yang Sect, and the Pure Yang Sect had a close relationship with the Xu Family.
The Xu Family had always been at odds with the Zhou Family, and the two had always been fighting fiercely. Because of this, Shi Xuantong always targeted Zhou Yu.
As the youngest disciple of the Pure Yang Sect Sect Master, Shi Xuantong was only 18 years old, and few people in his generation could match him.
Zhou Yu's martial arts were not bad, but compared to Shi Xuantong, he was still lacking. He had always been suppressed by Shi Xuantong and had never been able to regain his face. That was why he wanted to be courteous and find more experts to help.
Gao Zhengyang was a rank 5 expert and a Buddhist, he was handsome and had an extraordinary way of talking, so he became Zhou Yu's first target.
What he did not expect was that Gao Zhengyang's martial arts were much higher than he thought. In an instant, Shi Xuantong and the others were beaten to a pulp, utterly defeated.
Until now, Zhou Yu's mind was still in a mess.
However, Zhou Yunting was quite shrewd and quickly came to her senses. She smiled lightly at Gao Zhengyang, "Shi Xuantong is called a genius, but he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Grandmaster. What a joke … "
Gao Zhengyang smiled, "Benefactor overpraises me."
He was not too modest, such a small matter was not worth being modest about.
Although Shi Xuantong's level was high, he had little combat experience and his ability to adapt was even worse. In terms of true combat strength, he was not even comparable to a powerful rank 4 warrior.
Even if Shi Xuantong's strength was ten times stronger, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Gao Zhengyang. The difference between them was too great.
As soon as Zhou Yunting spoke, Zhou Yu also calmed down. He raised his teacup and said to Gao Zhengyang with a bright smile, "Great Master's divine might is awe-inspiring. Shi Xuantong is really like a clay chicken in front of Great Master. That felt good. Let me use tea in place of wine to toast Master. "
"You're too polite, Young Master Zhou." Gao Zhengyang politely raised his teacup and shared a sip with Zhou Yu.
Fang Wenxiu didn't say anything. She just stared at Gao Zhengyang. Her bright eyes were shining, and her fair cheeks were slightly red. She seemed extremely excited.
Wu Tao smiled apologetically at the side, sneaking glances at Gao Zhengyang from time to time. But he didn't dare to look any longer. His evasive manner was rather sneaky.
Zhou Yu and Zhou Yunting both recognized Gao Zhengyang's prowess. They kept on praising him, and their attitudes suddenly became much warmer.
Gao Zhengyang had a faint smile on his face. His tone was humble and calm, not showing any arrogance. He also did not lose his composure because the Zhou siblings valued him.
This made the Zhou siblings value Gao Zhengyang even more. They felt that Gao Zhengyang had the air of an expert.
Zhou Yu and the others were rather thin-skinned. After flattering Gao Zhengyang for a while, they could no longer continue. They could only repeat the usual pleasantries.
"Senior Brother, are these ready?" Seeing that they were not done with the pleasantries, Yuan Zhen felt somewhat impatient as he waited at the side.
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "It's fine. Go ahead and eat. Take whatever you like."
The candied fruits and fruits on the table were extraordinarily tempting to Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen's eyes lit up. He wanted to take action but felt somewhat embarrassed. He hesitated as he looked at Zhou Yu and the others.
Zhou Yu quickly said, "Little Master, just eat. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
"Little Master, here. Here …"
Wu Tao knew how to behave. He pushed four plates of candied fruits and fruits to Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen was young and gluttonous. Since the other party was so enthusiastic, he did not stand on ceremony. Yuan Zhen lowered his head and started eating.
Yuan Zhen had large eyes, a bald head, and a round face, looking rather cute. The way he ate seriously made him even more interesting. This also made the atmosphere in the private room more relaxed.
After the huge surprise, Zhou Yu calmed down. He said to Gao Zhengyang seriously, "Shi Xuantong is the youngest disciple of the Pure Sun Sect's Sect Master. He is doted on in the sect. He embarrassed himself so much. When he returns, he will definitely call someone to take revenge. "
Zhou Yunting also thought of this. She said, "Shi Xuantong has the best relationship with Ye Liuyun. The person he is looking for will definitely be Ye Liuyun. I heard that Ye Liuyun is already a Rank 6 expert, just a step away from Heaven Ranked. "
At the mention of Ye Liuyun, Zhou Yunting's charming face turned somewhat more serious.
Ye Liuyun was only one year older than Shi Xuantong, but his fame far surpassed Shi Xuantong's. He was on a completely different level from them. Zhou Yu and the others revered him greatly.
At the thought of Ye Liuyun coming to take revenge, the siblings' expressions turned somewhat unsightly.
Ye Liuyun couldn't do anything to them, but he wouldn't let Gao Zhengyang off. Being defeated wasn't a big deal. They were afraid that Ye Liuyun might kill Gao Zhengyang. That would be bad.
Fang Wenxiu said somewhat anxiously, "Ye Liuyun is known as the Flowing Cloud Sword. I heard that his sword is merciless and his actions are extremely ruthless. Sister Ting, it's best if we leave first … "
Zhou Yu's expression turned even more unsightly. They had just entered the room. If they left now, it was clear that they were afraid of Ye Liuyun. That would be too embarrassing.
At his age, the most important thing was to fight for face.
This also showed Fang Wenxiu's immaturity. She insisted on making things clear. If they really wanted to leave, they could just say that they weren't feeling well. Zhou Yu had a way out, and they could naturally leave.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head inwardly. These people were really children. They couldn't show off and were far from being good at scheming and scheming.
Also, that Wu Tao kid had a sneaky look in his eyes. Maybe he was colluding with that Shi Xuantong.
They had just entered Jade Spring Brothel and ran into Shi Xuantong's group. That was too much of a coincidence!
Gao Zhengyang watched from the side without making a sound. To him, these were just children playing house. There was no need to care.
So what if a Heaven Stage expert came? Even if his luck was bad and he ran into a Tier 9 powerhouse, there was still Hui Ming in front. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Gao Zhengyang was now also a member of an organization. He was well aware of this. Even if his true identity was exposed, the Mountain Country's imperial court would not pursue those matters in Junshan City.
The Ten Sects of Buddhism might fight fiercely internally, but they would definitely be united against outsiders. Otherwise, they would have long been swallowed by the Dao sects.
As one of the Ten Sects' sect leaders, Gao Zhengyang would be a joke if he was punished by the Mountain Country.
Which Tier 9 powerhouse in the present world didn't have a background, relatives, and friends? No one would go and become mortal enemies with the Buddhist sects.
Of course, it was hard to say what these powerhouses behind them would do.
But encountering a Tier 9 powerhouse at this level was as inconceivable as encountering a whale in a pond.
Hui Ming hid in a corner and remained silent, but that was just cultivation. He would not participate in this kind of low-level struggle.
Gao Zhengyang smiled without saying a word, looking relaxed and at ease. Zhou Yu did not have this kind of confidence. The expression on his handsome face kept changing, unable to make up his mind.
Zhou Yunting had more ideas than her brother. She resolutely said: "What are we afraid of? How is Ye Liuyun? Let's go call Third Brother over."
As she spoke, Zhou Yunting said to Zhou Zhong who was standing beside her: "Quickly go back to the residence and invite Third Brother over for a drink."
Zhou Yu hesitated: "Even if Third Brother is willing to come over, it will take four hours to go back and forth."
"Then send a ten thousand miles messenger crane." Zhou Yunting could not stand her brother's hesitation and weakness. She took out a yellow paper crane from her bosom and wrote two lines of words with a special talisman brush.
She made a hand sign and with a low shout, the talisman on the paper crane was activated.
The yellow paper crane's light turned, and its flat body suddenly expanded like a balloon.
The paper crane flapped its wings, paused for a moment, then suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot out of the window.
Zhou Yunting let out a light breath and clapped her hands with a smile: "Third Brother will be here soon. Now we can drink in peace."
Zhou Yu forced a smile and said to Gao Zhengyang: "My Third Brother Zhou Bo holds a position in the Featherwood Guard. His martial arts are tyrannical, and he has a wide circle of friends. With him here, Ye Liuyun will not dare to be impudent even if he comes. "
Although he said this, Zhou Yu was still a little worried. What if Third Brother did not come, what if he came late? He had not experienced any disturbances, so it was hard for him to not be at ease when something happened.
Fang Wenxiu, Wu Tao, and the others also had worried expressions, but no one felt that Zhou Yu had lost his composure.
Zhou Yunting was very dissatisfied with her brother's appearance. She pulled Gao Zhengyang aside and chatted casually, her expression rather calm. This caused Gao Zhengyang to look up to her. At least, Zhou Yunting could keep her composure.
As for whether she was brave or ignorant, it was hard to say.
On the high platform, the zither player played a few songs. Disregarding the cheers and urging her to stay, she gracefully saluted before gracefully leaving the stage with her zither.
Gao Zhengyang felt that this woman's every movement was full of charm. It was very special, completely different from ordinary women. He couldn't help but feel a bit interested.
"This woman is called Liu Qingge, a famous zither player of the Jade Spring Brothel. Who knows how many people have come to the Jade Spring Brothel for her … "
Zhou Yunting asked with a smile that was not a smile, "What does Grandmaster think of her zither skill?"
"The zither plays the heart, and her movements are like a song," Gao Zhengyang praised.
Zhou Yunting had heard many people praise Liu Qingge, but no one had described it as accurately and vividly as Gao Zhengyang had described it. Zhou Yunting's charm was expressed in just a few words. She couldn't help but feel admiration and envy.
Zhou Yu's expression was also excited. He was about to say something in praise when someone suddenly shouted from outside the door, "Well said!"
The sudden voice was melodious and carried a bone-chilling coldness.
