Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 257: Parting on bad terms, news about Zhou Liang!
Yu Ke and others walked all the way up to the sixth floor of Hongyun Chamber of Commerce.

Stepping into an elegant room, the aroma of tea rises in the air.

indoor.

A square table intricately carved from yellow agarwood comes into view, on which a set of exquisite tea sets are neatly arranged, showing elegance.

Liu Xing and Xia Youlan sat side by side in the main seat.

On one side of the table, the sacred incense burned lightly, with smoke curling around and ash falling in fine drops.

Refreshing and happy.

Liu Xing, the leader of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, was brewing tea. Her blue gauze skirt revealed her shoulders. She was obviously well-mannered, but her expression was as cold as ice.

But it is very vivid and lively.

"Thank you, Fairy Liu!"

Xie Wanwan held the teacup in her hand, her eyes fell on the bright red tea, and she couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Blood tea!
This tea has extraordinary effects and can strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy.

It is not blood, but it is named so because its color after boiling for the third time is like blood.

It is of great benefit to spiritual practice, especially for the cultivators of the second ladder realm who want to unlock the triple magic [Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow]. It is the spiritual tea they have always dreamed of, and it has no side effects. One or two ounces of it costs thousands of spirit stones, and it is in short supply outside the sect, making it difficult to get a drink.

Liu Xing smiled faintly when she heard this. She bowed slightly and extended her slender jade hand. Her ten fingers were as delicate and slender as jade.
"Mr. Yu, please have some tea."

"Thank you Fairy Liu."

Yu Ke was not at all arrogant. He politely took the teacup and took a sip. The tea then flowed into his dantian like a trickle and was then incorporated into the circulation of the great meridians.

After flowing for a few times, it was as if a bloody rain had fallen, nourishing every acupoint of his body and making it glow with a faint luster.

However, for Yu Ke, who already possessed triple supernatural powers, the blood tea, although effective, was only icing on the cake and was better than nothing.

Chen Jingqiu smiled and picked up the teacup himself.

Xia Youlan caught a glimpse of the smile on Yu Ke's face and frowned slightly.

She then picked up the teacup, handed it to Pang He gracefully, and said softly:
"Mr. Pang, please have some tea!"

Pang He was flattered, and quickly took the teacup with both hands respectfully, thanking him repeatedly:
"Thank you for the tea, Miss."

Xia Youlan smiled indifferently, and that smile was like a spring breeze, making Pang He's face even redder.

Everyone sat together, chatting and being polite.

The topics cover a wide range of topics.

During the conversation, Chen Jingqiu and Liu Xing were having a harmonious atmosphere with Xia Youlan interrupting from time to time.

Yu Ke had limited knowledge to begin with, so he mostly just listened.

But from time to time, Chen Jingqiu would ask with a smile:
"Junior Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Ke just wanted to watch, and complained in his heart, "I'm offline, please don't disturb me."

Liu Xing stood up and poured tea for Chen Jingqiu, praising him:

"Mr. Chen is really knowledgeable. He even knows everything about the East China Sea."

Yu Ke couldn't help but feel curious. Whether it was Liu Xing or Xia Youlan, these two Chamber of Commerce owners were considered big shots in the eyes of these outer disciples.

You can tell from Pang He’s expression.

Liu Xing and Xia Youlan treated Chen Jingqiu almost equally, which surprised Yu Ke.

Although he could not see through the two women's cultivation, he concluded that they must be strong people on the fourth ladder.

Chen Jingqiu is just an outer disciple.

Because of Chen Jingqiu, Liu Xing and Xia Youlan were also particularly courteous to the three of them.

Chen Jingqiu smiled modestly: "I have only lived in the East China Sea for many years."

Then, he turned to Yu Ke and said, "Brother Yu, didn't you grow up in Luoshui? Luoshui is adjacent to the East China Sea. Haven't you ever been there?"

The Luo River is only half an continent away from the East China Sea, but Yu Ke's childhood practice was difficult and he hardly left his home.

“No.”

Chen Jingqiu smiled and said, "If Junior Brother Yu is lucky enough to go to the East China Sea in the future, you might as well go around and experience the local customs and practices there."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ke jokingly said, "Then I'll go to the East Coast to announce Senior Brother's name. Will it still work?"

Chen Jingqiu's tone changed at this time, no longer modest, and said with a smile:
"If Junior Brother Yu really wants to go, he can also sit in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."

Yu Ke didn't take it seriously and just laughed it off as a joke.

Liu Xing also smiled and said, "Master Yu, next time you go to the East China Sea, you must ask the Dragon Girl to take off her boots, the Turtle Minister to grind ink, and the Shrimp Soldiers to line up."

Pang He is not a stupid person. This can be seen from the attitude of Hongyun Chamber of Commerce towards Chen Jingqiu. This person is definitely not an ordinary person.

So, he followed suit and said, "When I go to the East China Sea in the future, I will definitely announce the name of Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Jingqiu heard this and a playful smile appeared on his face:
"Brother Pang, are we familiar with each other?"

Pang He was speechless for a moment, and said with embarrassment: "Haha, Brother Chen, you are joking."

Xie Wanwan was quite surprised when she saw this. Senior Brother Chen has always been a very versatile person. With his family background, he would definitely not take Pang He seriously.

But in such an occasion, it was rare for him to be so disrespectful to Pang He.

Is it because of Senior Brother Yu?
Chen Jingqiu turned his gaze to Yu Ke and said seriously:

"I'm not joking, am I, Junior Brother Yu?"

Although Pang He was dissatisfied with Yu Ke in his heart, he quickly agreed at this time:

"Brother Yu and I have been good friends for many years."

Yu Ke was sipping his tea leisurely when he was suddenly asked again. He was slightly stunned.

He knew in his heart that Chen Jingqiu seemed to be intentionally helping him vent his anger.

In this case, he naturally had no reason to give Pang He a way out at this time.

"Brother Pang, are we familiar with each other?"

Yu Ke directly repeated what Chen Jingqiu had just said.

When Pang He heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and his expression changed from embarrassed to gloomy.

Yu Ke is just a mediocre person who has not been promoted in the outer sect for four years. He is inferior to him in terms of cultivation or family background, and now he dares to be so rude.

However, facing Chen Jingqiu, Pang He did not dare to turn against him easily.

Just then, an unexpected voice sounded.

Xia Youlan gently put down the teacup, her long eyes like autumn water looked quietly at Yu Ke, and slowly said:

"Mr. Yu, it seems that you were familiar with Mr. Pang last time at Zui Jiang Yue."

"It turns out that you are a forgetful person!"

Pang He was delighted that the second young lady spoke up for him.

Yu Ke never expected that Zui Jiang Yue’s boss actually had a friendship with Pang He and was willing to stand up for him.

He secretly wondered if he had offended the Second Young Lady at some point. Perhaps it was because last time at Zui Jiang Yue, after she gave him the VIP card, she learned that he was just an unknown person from the outer sect.

But Yu Ke didn't care. After all, in the world of cultivation, strength determines everything.

At this moment, he has completed the simulation of his first life and is about to build his foundation.

With the help of Kunxu Ding, he is confident that he will be no less powerful than others in the future.

The ancient cauldron in Xinhai seemed to understand its owner's thoughts.

It vibrates slightly, exuding a vast and ethereal aura.

Yu Ke didn't want to create new enemies, and had no intention of causing trouble for Chen Jingqiu.

He smiled and said, "Then I apologize to Senior Brother Pang."

The matter was thus exposed.

Pang He was able to save his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

however!
Chen Jingqiu put down his teacup, his expression turned cold, and his tone became a little colder:

"It's me who's meddling in other people's business and asking Junior Brother Yu to apologize for this."

This statement came out.

The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Liu Xing had not expected that a few short conversations would change the atmosphere so suddenly. She tried to smooth things over by saying:
"Mr. Yu, I didn't mean to apologize just now. It was just a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Yu Ke didn't expect the coldness in the eyes of Senior Brother Chen, whom he had just met.

It was the same with Zhou Liang back then. As far as he could remember, he had just arrived at the Shenxiao Sect and attended a gathering of the outer disciples of the Great Zhou for the first time.

There were also people who mocked Yu Ke's background. After hearing this, Zhou Liang did not give them any face at all during the meal.

Xie Wanwan also put down her teacup. If it weren't for Senior Brother Yu fighting for her place in the Hidden Immortal Land trial the day before, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble with Pang He. All this was caused by him.

She didn't want Senior Brother Yu to be wronged.

Seeing the rare anger on her cousin's face, Wang Yunxi smiled and poured the tea in the cup into the tea tray. The dark red tea flowed down slowly like a stream.

Seeing the attitudes of several people, Liu Xing didn't know what to do for a moment.

Naturally, she didn't want to offend her sister.

Now she is the only one who has not expressed her opinion.

She couldn't help but look at Xia Youlan. She didn't know why, what happened to the usually smart Sister Youlan today.

She really didn't see anything special about this Pang He.

It is unwise to offend Chen Jingqiu for a Pang He.

Liu Xing smiled and said, "Manager, go change the tea. This one doesn't suit my taste."

"I remember Sister Youlan's favorite is the "Moon Guanyin" from Southern Xinjiang, right?"

She still didn't want to offend Xia Youlan, and had already decided in her heart that even if she offended the two of them, she would have to find a way to make amends later.

Xia Youlan had never expected that things would turn out like this. She had originally just casually complained, "Noble people tend to forget things."

During the meal, Xie Wanwan and Wang Yunxi both took the initiative to talk to her, but Yu Ke always looked as if it had nothing to do with her. How could this not make her angry!

Xia Youlan directly answered the topic raised by Liu Xing.

Pang He was secretly delighted.

Just in time!

Outside the private room, a steward was cautiously reporting:

"Master, a distinguished guest is visiting."

Liu Xing couldn't help but frown slightly. When she was entertaining guests, usually no one would come to disturb her unless there was something extraordinary.

"Dignified guest?"

"It's Master Lan Yu from the inner sect."

Lan Yu, a true disciple of the inner sect of the Shenxiao Sect, also has a prominent position in the inner sect. He is known as the "Quiet Water Dragon King" and is among the best even among the true disciples.

He has already secured the position of the divine pillar of Shuizhang Peak next year.

In the eight inner sect veins, each peak has ten divine pillars, all of whom are the focus of the sect's training. They also have the right to train their own forces and mobilize the sect's resources.

The Shenzhu is the backbone of the sect, and the mountain masters of each lineage are almost all promoted from the position of Shenzhu.

In other words, this person is a contender for the future master of Shuizhang Peak.

Liu Xing naturally didn't dare to neglect such a person, but she had never met Lan Yu before and was slightly confused.

The steward's voice sounded again:
"Master Lan Yu has left, leaving behind a true disciple to bring a message to Master Yu Ke."

Xie Wanwan looked puzzled. Lan Yu had only met Senior Brother Yu once, so why would he come back specifically to look for him?

Liu Xing looked at Yu Ke and asked, "Mr. Yu, would you please come in?"

Yu Ke nodded slightly, but his heart was full of curiosity. What on earth did Lan Yu want to tell him?

Not long after.

The steward led in a male cultivator with a sword on his back and gold patterns on his sleeves. His eyes and eyebrows revealed a vigorous and sharp spirit.

"Which one is Junior Brother Yu?"

Yu Ke walked out in response.

The sword-carrying male cultivator said, "Brother Lan Yu asked me to bring a message to you. When Senior Sister Li Qingshui left the sect a few days ago, all the sect's communication jade talismans were damaged, so we can't send messages."

"Junior Brother Zhou Liang and his group are safe and sound."

"Senior Sister Li sent me the news this morning. I asked Brother Lan Yu to tell me that I am safe."

"Brother Lan Yu went to the outer sect residence to look for Junior Brother today, but he couldn't find him. I happened to be here with something, so he asked me to pass on the message."

When Yu Ke heard the news, he found out that Zhou Liang was safe and sound. It seemed that Zhou Liang and his companions had not encountered any accidents, but had just left the sect early.

"Thank you, senior brother."

The male cultivator carrying a sword smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, Junior Brother."

"Senior Sister Li also said that she hopes Junior Brother Yu will have good luck in the outer sect assessment."

"Brother Lan Yu, you also asked me to give this token to Junior Brother Yu. If you need anything, come to Shuizhang Peak to visit me anytime."

"Farewell!"

He came and left in a hurry.

The steward then left the private room and gently closed the door.

Yu Ke held in his hand a jade plaque with the words "Lan Yu" written on it, emitting a faint glow.

Including the one given by Li Qingshui, I already have two pieces.

He has been worried about Zhou Liang's safety these days, and now there is finally good news.

Senior Sister Li Qingshui is indeed very responsible. With her around, Zhou Liang and the others shouldn't have any major problems.

Liu Xing looked at Yu Ke in surprise and asked, "Mr. Yu, do you know Li Qingshui?"

This time, even Xie Wanwan was shocked.

"Is it really Senior Sister Li Qingshui?"

Li Qingshui is extremely famous among the outer disciples and menial disciples, and has always been Xie Wanwan's role model since she joined the sect.

Xie Wanwan said with a hint of complaint: "Senior Brother Yu, since you know Senior Sister Li, why didn't you tell me?"

"It's a lucky coincidence!"

Yu Ke felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he and Senior Sister Li had only met once, so it was difficult for him to say it out loud.

Pang He's eyes were fixed on the token in Yu Ke's hand, his heart filled with jealousy, resentment and disbelief.

He knew that Yu Ke had only met Senior Brother Lan Yu once, but he was given such a precious token that allowed him to enter and exit the inner gate of Shuizhang Peak freely.

You must know that outer disciples cannot enter the inner sect at will.

If Pang He had this token, why would he need to care about the face of Ding Zhao, a mere inner sect disciple, in the outer sect?

But it was quite different in Liu Xing's eyes.

This Yu Ke not only has a close relationship with Chen Jingqiu, but is also good friends with Li Qingshui and Lan Yu.

Li Qingshui and Lan Yu are both true disciples, the difference is that Li Qingshui's name has been engraved on the sect's golden book.

The sect's golden book consists of nine pages. Every name recorded on it is a core person in the sect. It is also a precious treasure. Just leaving your real name can increase your lifespan by 800 years.

Moreover, it is recorded in the ancient scrolls of the cultivation world.

"A man with double pupils, born to meet the calamity, is invincible in the world."

Therefore, Li Qingshui is also known as the man with double pupils, and is the true prodigy of the Shenxiao Sect.

As someone who had worked in the outer sect for many years, Liu Xing knew very well that Li Qingshui had almost been designated as the next master of Yuqing Peak.

Yu Ke must have some outstanding qualities to be able to make friends with Li Qingshui and others.

Seeing this, Xia Youlan felt certain that the last time the Pi Xiu was broken was really related to Yu Ke.

Yu Ke and his three companions have already said goodbye and left.

Broke up unhappily.

Pang He wanted to stay, but seeing the Second Miss's cold expression, he had no choice but to say goodbye.

Liu Xing couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Youlan, what happened today? You are so confused."
