Ye Xiaotian screamed and covered his buttocks: "You still say you are not fierce … …"
Zhan Ning 'er coldly snorted and said: "You call this fierce? This is still light! Let's go to the banquet. Remember, eat more food and drink less. Don't talk nonsense, just listen to me. "
Zhan Ning 'er walked in front like a proud peacock. Ye Xiaotian followed behind like a bullied wife. He whispered to Mao Wenzhi: "She is so fierce, how can she get married in the future?"
Mao Wenzhi said: "Dage, this is not right. I have only heard of bachelors who can't find a wife, but I have never heard of a girl who can't get married. This woman, no matter how ugly she is, as long as she is not picky, she will get married. Besides, Miss Zhan looks like a fairy, how can no one want her? "
Zhan Ning 'er walked with her hands behind her back, as if she didn't hear the two of them talking. In fact, she has been listening. When she heard this, her chin was raised even higher. Ye Xiaotian said with a straight face: "She invited me to drink, why are you following her? You just recovered, go back and rest."
Mao Wenzhi said: "Dage is right! I really don't want to go anywhere now. Erzhu is right, this place is too dangerous! " After Mao Wenzhi finished speaking, he couldn't wait to slip away. Ye Xiaotian wanted to pinch this foodie, but he didn't expect this result. He had no choice but to watch him go away.
A beautiful palace magically appeared on the hillside. The roof of the palace looked like a nomadic tent, but it was not exactly the same. It didn't care about practicality and durability. Instead, it paid more attention to the gorgeous decorative effect. The gold and silver decorative flowers on it shined in the sun.
Zhan Ning 'er walked to the front of the luxurious palace, and immediately, a guard in embroidered robes came forward and bowed to her, making a welcoming gesture.
Zhan Ning 'er saw that Yang Yinglong didn't come out to welcome her personally and snorted. But in detail, Yang Yinglong was of the same generation as her, but he was the Chieftain of the Yang family. His status was higher than her father's, so there was no need for him to come out to welcome her. She couldn't find fault with it, so she walked towards the entrance of the tent.
"Hehe, you are here. Sit, please sit!"
Yang Yinglong was already waiting for him inside the tent. The tent was covered with expensive Persian carpet, cushions, pillows, and a low table. On the low table, there were golden cups and jade cups, as well as all kinds of attractive fruits.
Yang Yinglong changed into a casual robe and laid on a huge white bear skin, leaning on a pillow. When he saw them come in, he sat up with a smile and said, "Miss Zhan, Brother Ye, please sit!"
Yang Yinglong had already prepared two seats, one on the left and one on the right. Naturally, it was prepared for Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er. Zhan Ning' er randomly picked a seat and sat down. Ye Xiaotian also sat down on the other side.
At this moment, two maids dressed in white came forward to pour wine for them. After what happened to Mao Wenzhi yesterday, Ye Xiaotian also had a shadow in his heart. Although he saw that the wine was clear, he was still a little worried. But when he looked at Zhan Ning 'er and saw that she was calm, he was relieved.
Not to mention that with Yang Yinglong's status, there was no reason for him to poison someone like him. Even if he wanted to poison someone like him, he wouldn't do it in front of Zhan Ning 'er. Although Zhan Ning 'er was afraid of Yang Yinglong, Yang Yinglong was also afraid of the An family and the Zhan family. If they weren't mortal enemies, he wouldn't act rashly.
Although the two maids were lowly servants, they had slender jade necks and tall figures. Their thick black hair was tied up in a high bun. They were as beautiful and elegant as two swans. When they bent down to pour wine, their collars were half open. One could see their delicate collarbones and a trace of snow-white skin. Under their robes, there were two pearl-like objects that slightly shook, creating an alluring ripple.
Ye Xiaotian was in the period of his youth. Beautiful women had a special attraction to him. Such a beautiful scene, how could he not be moved? He couldn't help but look at them deeply. Yang Yinglong looked casual, but in fact, he had been observing his expression. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile.
After the two beautiful maids finished pouring wine, they moved lightly and quietly retreated to the side, holding the bottle and standing still. Beside the curtain, there were many beautiful musicians. Once the dishes were served, the sandalwood board rang, and the musical instruments began to play together. The sound was gentle. It didn't affect the conversation between the host and the guests, and it was a good way to enhance the atmosphere.
Two beautiful dancers dressed in seductive costumes slowly walked up, placed a bronze lotus incense box in the middle of the three tables, and lit up an Indian Champa incense. Then, in the light smoke and faint fragrance, their jade-like feet lightly stepped on the ground and danced like a whirling snowflake.
As the host, Yang Yinglong first toasted the two of them and picked up some food with chopsticks. He smiled and said, "I am very familiar with Miss Zhan. I often see her in Shuixi. However, Brother Ye looks unfamiliar. Are you also from Shuixi? "
Ye Xiaotian bowed and said, "Chieftain Yang, you misunderstand. I am originally from the capital. I left the capital because of a matter and met Miss Zhan in Hulu County."
"Oh?"
Yang Yinglong was stunned. He looked at Zhan Ning 'er, then looked at Ye Xiaotian and revealed a look of realization. He said, "I see. Hehe, Brother Xiaotian is extraordinarily handsome. One look and I can tell you are a dragon among men. Miss Zhan is even more so. She is the descendant of a large clan in Shuixi and a famous family. The two of you are very compatible. No wonder you fell in love at first sight."
Zhan Ning 'er said earlier that Ye Xiaotian was her friend out of kindness. She wanted to protect Ye Xiaotian, but she didn't want others to misunderstand that they were a couple. In addition, when they were going up the mountain, Ye Xiaotian even mocked her behind her back that she couldn't get married. Zhan Ning' er was still angry, so she retorted now.
Zhan Ning 'er immediately said, "Chieftain Yang, your eyesight is really bad. Even if I am not a swan, do I have to marry a toad?"
Yang Yinglong was stunned. Ye Xiaotian immediately retorted, "Chieftain Yang, you have indeed misunderstood. Even if I am a toad, do I have to marry a female toad?"
"You …"
Zhan Ning 'er glared at Ye Xiaotian. Her almond-shaped eyes were almost spitting fire. It looked like if they weren't at someone else's banquet, she would have given Ye Xiaotian a good beating. Ye Xiaotian shot her a provocative look and thought to himself, "You're the only one who can humiliate me. Am I not allowed to talk back?"
Yang Yinglong laughed and said, "You two are really a pair of quarrelsome lovers. Good, good, good. If you are not a couple, then you are not a couple. Today's banquet should be a group of harmony. Don't fight. Brother Xiaotian, since you and Miss Zhan are not a couple, why did you accept Miss Zhan's invitation to come here? "
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Chieftain Yang, I didn't come here because of Miss Zhan's invitation. I came here in pursuit of two thieves who kidnapped my family. Who knew that I would arouse Elder Gögwo's suspicion and not allow us to leave. That's why I met the Divine Servant Venerable by chance."
Yang Yinglong's eyes flickered and he asked, "Thieves who kidnapped your family?"
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's right! I have a little sister. Although we are not related by blood, we have gone through thick and thin together and are like brothers. When I was in Tongren, I left her at the inn and went to visit another friend. Who knew that something would happen to her … "
Ye Xiaotian briefly told Yang Yinglong about what happened in Tongren and pleaded, "Chieftain Yang, since Elder Gögwo is your friend, can you please speak on my behalf and ask him to let us go? Yaoyao was kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown. Every time I think about it, I feel very worried."
Yang Yinglong looked deeply at Ye Xiaotian and slowly nodded. "I see. I will talk to Elder Gögwo later. However, he is very stubborn and I'm afraid it won't be easy to convince him."
Yang Yinglong smiled and said, "I don't know how Brother Ye obtained the Venerable's recognition. If you can let Gögwo understand this, he might let you go. He is a good person, but he is a little utilitarian. He covets the position of the Venerable. "
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't know why the Venerable asked me to stay for a chat. At that time … he didn't say anything."
Ye Xiaotian told Yang Yinglong about the contents of his conversation with the Venerable. Yang Yinglong could see that Ye Xiaotian did not seem to be faking it. However, when he thought about the contents of his conversation with the Venerable, he became even more confused.
Was it because Ye Xiaotian was humorous and interesting? Preposterous! The Venerable was usually serious and dull. Was he someone who liked to tell jokes? Moreover, the Venerable was an expert in using voodoo. He did have a very strange sense that he could predict his death. Why would a person who knew he was going to die be in the mood to listen to jokes?
Yang Yinglong thought about it and could only conclude that the Venerable had a good impression of Ye Xiaotian as fate. This was the only thing in the world that was unfathomable and unreasonable. Perhaps Ye Xiaotian had caught the Venerable One's eye, which was why he had caught the Venerable One's interest.
Thinking of this, Yang Yinglong put down the glass and said, "Hehe, maybe it's because the Venerable and you are fated. Brother Ye, I have a favor to ask you. When you chat with the Venerable in the future, can you ask him if he has decided on the successor?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "I heard from Miss Ning 'er that the Venerable would only get the instruction of the Venerable Poison God before he died?"
As a superior, Yang Yinglong had doubts about the existence of the Venerable Poison God, just like Gögwo. Even if the Venerable Poison God really existed, would a god be so bored as to interfere with the selection of a leader for his followers in the human world? Yang Yinglong had always been deeply doubtful. What Yang Yinglong really cared about was the influence of the Venerable Poison God in the various tribes of Miao Jiang and the great role that the Venerable, as the spokesperson of the Venerable Poison God, could play.
Yang Yinglong smiled faintly and said, "Miss Zhan's knowledge is limited. Some people are bedridden and unconscious when they are at the end of their life. Even if the Venerable Poison God gives the oracle, how can an unconscious Venerable convey it to his followers? So most of the time, the Venerable gets the oracle in advance. But he doesn't want to cause trouble, so he keeps it a secret. "
Ye Xiaotian said in his heart, "Just as I expected."
Although he knew how terrible the poison was, he still didn't believe in the existence of the Venerable Poison. As a jailer of the Heaven's Prison, he had seen many defeated superiors. He had long understood the truth that everything was decided by strength and wisdom. Even if there was a god, it was a god and a man was a man. A god would not interfere with the world of men.
Yang Yinglong said, "One more thing. If the Venerable hasn't chosen an heir, then …"
Yang Yinglong's expression became a little serious. When he smiled, it gave people a feeling of warmth like the spring breeze. But when his face became serious, there was a kind of dignity without anger. Although Ye Xiaotian was used to meeting big shots, his heart still beat faster.
Yang Yinglong said, "Then … I hope you can put in a good word for Elder Gögwo. Hehe, if the Venerable hears it, the Venerable Poison God will also hear it. This will be a great help for Gögwo to become the next Venerable."
Ye Xiaotian didn't expect that Yang Yinglong would be so straightforward, especially in front of Zhan Ning 'er. Both of them had their own supporters. Wasn't Yang Yinglong too blatant?
Ye Xiaotian said, "I'm afraid … Miss Ning 'er won't agree with me?"
Yang Yinglong smiled and said, "She turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to it. How can she object?"
