The next night, in the Shi family villa.
Several chefs were busy preparing the dishes. The Physical Invulnerability experts were sitting around a table, chatting and tasting the delicious food to celebrate Geezer Shi's 65th birthday.
He didn't invite any outsiders to his birthday banquet. Other than his old friends like the Queen of Thought and the Divine Enchanter of Sin Flame, his Senior Brother, his own daughter, his unfilial disciple, and other Physical Invulnerability experts from the Ice God Sect.
Of course, the Haixi Sect, Hanchi Sect, and Dinghai Sect of the Wuyue Alliance had all sent qualified disciples to celebrate with wine.
Lou Cheng was quietly listening to the elders boasting about the past. Suddenly, he felt something and turned to look at the door.
The Queen of Thought, Fei Dan, had a similar reaction. Geezer Shi and the rest followed in confusion.
At this time, the sky was dark and the rain was light. Spring was coming.
"Hmm?" After a few seconds, Shi Jianguo suddenly asked in confusion.
Shi Yuejian was confused at first. Then, her eyes lit up. She stood up, walked quickly to the door, and opened it.
In the drizzling rain outside the door, a tall and majestic figure in navy blue approached slowly with two old jars in his hands. Every drop of water that approached him would automatically evaporate without leaving a trace. It was Dragon King, Chen Qitao!
As soon as he appeared, the living room and dining room that were connected to each other suddenly became silent. All eyes were on him as he approached in the bleak wind and rain, like a big sun that rose in reverse.
Chen Qitao walked slowly into the villa without any rain. He didn't need to pretend to be majestic. Shi Yuejian, who was waiting at the door, forgot to open her mouth. So did everyone else.
Step by step, Dragon King walked to the dining table and placed the two old jars in front of Geezer Shi. The cups and plates moved automatically to make enough space for Dragon King.
"Yaozhou Ancient Cellar Wine." Chen Qitao patted the seal of one of the jars. A memorable aroma filled the air.
Geezer Shi came back to his senses and laughed.
"I remember there were only five jars left. You took half of them!"
"Brat, get another chair!"
Lou Cheng was enlightened when he heard the order.
The Dragon King was here to celebrate his birthday!
It was just that no one had expected that the atmosphere just now would be as if an enemy had come to exterminate them.
His master had most likely just casually invited him, and had never considered the possibility of him actually coming.
Of course, the Dragon King's unsmiling and dignified aura was also largely to blame!
While cursing in his heart, he and Shi Yuejian found a chair in the guest room and put it next to their master.
The 'Dragon King' didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.
"Back then, sigh, back when we were in the war-torn zones, I didn't see you give this old man any wine. Why did you suddenly think of this today?" Comrade Shi Jianguo said half jokingly and half emotionally.
"It wasn't your birthday at that time." Chen Qitao's poker face didn't change as he answered seriously.
Everyone fell silent again, not knowing what to say.
… What a joke … The Dragon King really has no sense of humor … Another form of the king of awkward silence … This was the first time Lou Cheng had seen Chen Qitao in such a situation. He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Geezer Shi laughed dryly and shook his head.
"You haven't changed at all. You haven't changed at all. But this troublesome disciple of mine, I'll have to trouble you to beat him up."
Master, he's really beating him up … Lou Cheng felt pain all over when he heard the word.
After losing to the Dragon King in the Warrior Sage Battle, his attitude didn't change. He didn't support his juniors like the rumors said, and was hostile to qualified competitors. He probably felt that he was still not mature enough to pose a threat to Meng Qi.
Thinking about it, in the first challenge in the official competition, although he only had 70% of his strength left due to his injuries, he didn't expect to lose so easily and miserably. It was almost like he was hung up and beaten. He truly understood why the Peerless Twins were called the Peerless Twins when they were in perfect condition.
In any case, the 'beating' he received once or twice a week had never decreased. However, in the past year, he could be considered to have made rapid progress. In his daily practice, although the number of times he won was few, he was finally starting to win. However, every time he won, the next round was bound to be a terrifying counterattack. The inhumane 'beating' was simply unbearable to recall. Just thinking about it was painful.
Of course, it was because of this kind of beating that he could improve so quickly. In less than two years, he could call himself a super-class with a clear conscience.
"You're welcome." The Dragon King didn't even look at Lou Cheng, but his expression was gentle. It was as though this was an activity that could entertain him.
Lou Cheng couldn't help but touch the corner of his mouth. This injury healed again and again. His teeth grew out again and again. It was almost an old problem.
Since the Dragon King had been in the war-torn zones and shared a common language with the Queen of Thought, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually returned to normal.
There was no doubt that he listened more than he spoke, but every time he spoke, the table would fall silent.
"If that God of War could hear your evaluation, his descendants wouldn't be able to hold his coffin board down …" Wu Molian shook his head at the Dragon King's vicious and mean comments.
Sigh, he was the only one present who could say that. Of course, because the God of War had died at his hands.
Geezer Shi also recalled his memories. He was about to brag about his experience of killing a Mighty One of the same level when he suddenly saw the Dragon King glance at the door.
Immediately after, his unworthy disciple stood up and walked over with a smile. He opened the door and said,
"You came at the right time."
"Mm." Lin Que's expression didn't change in the slightest because of his nonsense.
He also carried two jars of wine and came to Geezer Shi's side. After a few seconds of silence, he said,
"Coach Shi, my grandparents asked me to bring two jars of wine that they buried at home for twenty years. I wish you happiness as boundless as the East Sea and longevity as long as the South Mountain."
When he was saying the congratulatory words, Lou Cheng smiled and waited for his brother-in-law to show signs of stuttering or embarrassment. However, Lin Que was calm and composed from beginning to end. He didn't show any other reaction.
Such an awkward and old-fashioned line, what kind of mood did you have to say it so smoothly? Lou Cheng secretly shook his head and muttered silently, Boring, boring …
…
In a villa beside the Wuyue Club.
The dull and stiff Huang Ke finished wiping the Ice Chi Spear. He took out a bottle of wine carved from green jade from the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass. The color was close to amber.
His disciple, Zheng Yu, who was still working hard to reach the Physical Invulnerability stage, asked curiously,
"Master, why do you suddenly want to drink?"
His master had always been a collector and appreciator.
Another disciple, Qian Qiyue, looked at the balcony and said, "Today is the 65th birthday of Senior Shi of the Ice God Sect. Master, do you want to give him a bottle of wine?"
But why did he want to taste it first?
Huang Ke didn't speak. Holding the wine glass, he walked slowly to the balcony and looked in the direction of the Shi family. After a moment of silence, he said,
"There's no need. We don't have much of a relationship."
At this point, his tone suddenly became a little uncertain.
"When I entered the sect, he was at the peak of his glory. I've always had him as my goal and wanted to find a chance to challenge him. Unfortunately, I couldn't achieve this wish."
"And now …" A rare smile appeared on his face. "We're both old."
For experts like them, even if they were 30 years older, it would still be easy for them to defeat an Inhuman. However, compared to the youths of the same level, they had to admit that they were old.
Spear King Huang Ke didn't sigh. He raised his wine glass and drank it in the direction of the Shi family. He toasted them from afar.
…
After the birthday banquet, some bade farewell, while others continued to talk about the past.
Lou Cheng was afraid that his brother-in-law wouldn't like such occasions, so he pulled him to the quiet balcony and asked with a smile,
"You've been through a lot in the war-torn zones this time, right?"
"A lot," Lin Que answered simply.
"What are they?" Lou Cheng asked with great interest.
"Too long," Lin Que answered with the usual awkward silence.
Lou Cheng's mouth twitched, then he smiled and said,
"Then how did you make the great leap and become a Physical Invulnerability expert?"
"Just like that," Lin Que answered calmly.
Can't we have a proper conversation … Lou Cheng lowered his head and sent a message to Ke.
"Your brother is killing the conversation!"
Lin Que watched as he typed on the virtual keyboard. Then he said slowly,
"In the war-torn zones, some things are more important than talking."
"Yeah." Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully. "If I have a mission there in the future, I'll help out a little."
The Physical Invulnerability experts there probably won't welcome me …
After a few seconds of silence, he changed the topic.
"Are you going to participate in the Battle of Warrior Sage next month?"
"Yes," Lin Que answered simply.
"Well, what's your goal?" he asked casually.
Lin Que looked up and stared at him with his dark eyes.
"To defeat you."
Brother-in-law, are you serious, or are you joking … Lou Cheng was stunned.
Lin Que turned around and walked towards the guest room. When he was about to leave the balcony, he added,
"I'll always work hard."
