Xuanxia

Chapter 769 An unexpected surprise
"So... it's you."

Fu Qingzhou looked complicated and spoke slowly.

Lan Xiyu smiled slightly: "Although Master Fu had some rifts with the Lan family before, don't worry about it. Our cooperation does not need to be affected by such trivial matters."

A trivial matter... Your own nephew died, is that a trivial matter?

Of course Fu Qingzhou didn't say this out loud.

The relationships here are complicated and difficult to sort out.

Lan Hongjun was killed by his servant Gu Jinchen. Of course, this is an unsolved case and there is no way to convict him, but smart people can guess a little bit.

This "aunt" from the Lan family must have guessed it - what's more, she is the owner of Qianfang Baixiao Tower!

But in order to complete the transaction, he helped Gu Jinchen write a letter, and finally helped Gu Jinchen climb to the top.

For Lan Xiyu, does this count as a serious offense to her?
"Okay, then let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the future."

Fu Qingzhou took a deep breath and smiled, "Since Master Lan is so sincere, I will keep my word, but it will take some time to plan the specifics."

Lan Xiyu did not comment, but just gently closed the wooden box.

"can."

After a long while, she said, "Just inform Lan Jingsong of all the arrangements."

After that, she turned around and walked away into the darkness without saying anything more.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Lan family is very big, but just because the owner of Qianfang Baixiao Tower is surnamed Lan, it doesn’t mean that her relationships and interests must be tied to the Lan family... This was his previous thought.

But now, he realized that he was still too young.

Ning Baimei indicated that he wanted to give the Sword of Wisdom to Lord Lan and also stated that this was a measure against the Lan family, which meant that he had already known Lan Xiyu's identity.

Ning Baimei had already planned all of this.

"He obviously knew everything, so why didn't he do anything?"

Fu Qingzhou frowned.

He didn't believe that with Ning Baimei's strength, means, and power, he would not be able to deal with a lord and these aristocratic families.

After Lan Xiyu left, the silent night also left with her. Soon, the noisy laughter from the banquet in the square in the distance returned to Fu Qingzhou's ears, and the surroundings gradually became brighter.

"call……"

Fu Qingzhou let out a long breath, shook off the distracting thoughts in his head, and walked back to the banquet hall.

As soon as he returned to the banquet, he felt a little dazed.

There were too many people before, and just remembering all those people made his head dizzy, so many people present didn't notice.

When I came back, I found that there were many familiar faces at the banquet.

True Man Baihe, True Man Jingming, Elder Yu, Senior Wu Yue, Shangguan Xuan... These powerful Cave Heaven Realm masters appeared at the wine table at some point in time. They sat there and chatted and laughed with some seniors they had never met before.

By the way, as mentioned before, they also invited some people to come.

Are these people all their friends?
Gotta get to know...

Not only that, he also saw some people.

For example, the current "Master of Xingchen Tower" Lin Qu, the people of Changqing Escort Agency, and Master Wu...

What's more, several makeshift stoves had been set up next to the banquet, and several chefs were frying food in large iron pans, with smoke billowing out.

Didn't they order the food and drinks from an outside restaurant? When did they even invite a chef?
This feeling is magical... I just set up a small stage and held a small banquet, but more and more people came, and the momentum became more and more grand.

"Did this banquet last long? Why did so many people come?"

Fu Qingzhou himself was a little confused.

But it was true. Just toasting those two or three rounds of wine and getting to know that large group of people took me an unknown amount of time...

He was halfway through his thought when his eyes suddenly stopped.

Who did he see?
In the corner of several large banquet tables, there were two figures sitting there.

Unlike the others who were drinking and chatting, those two people didn't talk to anyone else and just focused on eating.

Wu Yan?! Zhu Mei?!
Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened. He looked around and rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn't his illusion.

Didn't Wu Yan go to atone for his sins? When did he bring Zhu Mei here to eat and drink for free?

Fu Qingzhou strode towards them.

Wu Yan and Zhu Mei didn't notice anything and continued eating and drinking. It was not until Fu Qingzhou sat down that they turned their heads to look.

"You came."

Wu Yan was very calm.

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "You are a killer, but you didn't even notice someone coming?"

"You have no murderous intent towards me." Wu Yan said calmly: "The Xuanmeng Ceremony hasn't started yet, right? I caught up with it?"

"Catch up..."

Fu Qingzhou looked strange: "Do you still want to kill Jiang Baichuan? So you came here on purpose?"

"Yes." Wu Yan said leisurely: "But not only that, I brought you someone who might know the master's identity."

"Oh?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

He had actually guessed the identity of his lord, but...did Wu Yan actually capture an important figure on the opposite side?

interesting.

"Who is that person? Where is he now?" he asked.

"Chu Xianghong, a descendant of the Demon Cult."

Wu Yan said calmly: "When I entered the Xuan League, I handed her over to your men - those secret envoys from the Mingjian Pavilion."

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

This kid is good at his job, but he actually handed the person over to the secret envoy?
"Then what? Have you found out anything from her before?" Fu Qingzhou asked curiously.

Wu Yan shook his head: "She is very stubborn, I can't pry her open, and there are not many tricks I can use on the road, it is easy to cause trouble - so, I leave it to you."

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "Okay, no problem, leave it to me."

This is really a pleasant surprise.

Chu Xianghong...a descendant of the Demonic Cult?

This does match what Murong Xuan said. The remnants of the evil cult did indeed surrender to the lord.

Fu Qingzhou thought about it, picked up the clean chopsticks beside him, and started eating.

Seeing this, Wu Yan tilted his head and said, "Why don't you go and interrogate her?"

"No hurries."

Fu Qingzhou ate the meat in big mouthfuls: "If we don't eat it now, it will get cold... There is no rush to judge people, there is still time. Right now, all the people here are friends who want to help us fight Jiang Baichuan and our lord, so we have to entertain them well."

"I have to eat a few more mouthfuls to fill my stomach. I will definitely have to drink again soon..."

"Master Fu!" He was interrupted by a light shout halfway through his words.

Looking up, I saw a little old man running over with a glass of wine in his hand: "We just had one drink..."

Who is this?

Fu Qingzhou forced a smile and laughed: "I was just saying, where is the senior? I don't even have time to drink a few more glasses with you!"

As he spoke, he swiftly picked up the wine glass and started talking to the old man, arm in arm.

At the wine table, Wu Yan and Zhu Mei raised their heads at the same time.

"elder brother."

Zhu Mei asked in confusion: "Why did he leave before he finished his meal?"

Wu Yan looked deep and respectful, "This... is also the martial arts world."
