I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 217 A little bit of level
Even though Li Yuanji proposed to Hu Xiaoxian and liked her very much, now that he knew that Hu Xiaoxian suddenly had a lover, he did not dare to provoke her.

Just because he can't afford to offend this person.

Since the other party dares to challenge the three great masters, he must have a certain level of strength.

He could also ask his father to help him post. Even if he still had feelings for Hu Xiaoxian, he wouldn't dare to be too impulsive.

I had no choice but to sit in my seat with a sullen look on my face.

Shen Lang was too lazy to argue with him.

Just took Ji Qian and Hu Xiaoxian to the reserved seats.

Hu Xiaoxian just poured three cups of tea.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a wooden stick hitting the ground on the stairs.

But its momentum is enough to capture people's hearts.

Just from this one move, we know that the person coming is extremely skilled.

Shen Lang looked towards the stairs.

The next moment, the delicate and beautiful Dugu Feng was seen supporting a hunchbacked old woman with white hair, eyes half-covered by her eyelids, as if she was blind, and a face full of deep wrinkles, but with an aristocratic demeanor, slowly walking up the stairs.

The old woman was wearing a black robe with a white silk blouse on the outside. She had a prominent forehead and sunken cheeks, but her skin was strangely pale but had a pinkish hue that did not belong to her age.

This old woman, who was probably at least a hundred years old, was extremely tall. Even when hunched over, she was still half a head taller than the delicate Dugu Feng. If she stood straight, her height would be about the same as Shen Lang's.

In her right hand she held a cane made of jasper, about five feet long and shaped like a bamboo branch.

The only difference is that the hand had long, pointed nails, making her dry hand look like an eagle's claw.

The two pupils in her eyes seemed to be looking at the ground, but Ji Qianhe felt that her cold gaze was silently examining them.

That feeling makes people feel cold.

Dugu Feng's lively face was still as charming as ever, but she pouted her lips in anger, her eyes falling on Shen Lang.

With a look of disdain on his face, he said arrogantly: "Brother Shen, don't you welcome me?"

Although the two of them already had a relationship beyond friendship, she didn't dare to say it out loud, and Shen Lang would never make fun of it.

Then he smiled and said, "This is not my Shen Lang's restaurant. If I say welcome, it would be totally inappropriate."

His eyes fell on the old lady, "I believe this is the pillar of the Dugu clan, Elder You Chuhong."

Hearing him calling You Chuhong's name directly, Li Yuanji and everyone present widened their eyes and even held their breath.

Some people were also preparing to leave quietly to avoid being implicated.

It’s because ordinary people cannot mention the old lady’s name.

Li Yuanji even thought to himself, "I actually need my father's help to send a letter of challenge to the three great masters, and even want to duel in the Taiji Palace. Now I want to see if you are really that powerful."

In fact, he still hoped that Shen Lang could be defeated. In this way, maybe Hu Xiaoxian would fall into his arms, and even Ji Qian might fall into his arms.

As expected, upon hearing him mention her name, the elderly-looking mother-in-law glared at Shen Lang like arrows and yelled in a shrill, feminine voice, "How dare you call me by my name? You deserve a beating!"

The next moment, You Chuhong had shaken off Dugu Feng and rushed to Shen Lang's side. Her speed was so fast that any young, strong and agile boy could be left far behind.

Shen Lang stood still to meet You Chuhong's attack.

You Chuhong's hunched body straightened up almost miraculously, her thick white hair fluttering in the wind, every wrinkle on her face seemed to radiate a strange pink light, and her pupils, half covered by her eyelids, shot out arrow-like sharp light, the shape of which was extremely strange.

When she came closer, he put his palm on the edge of the table.

The whole table immediately started spinning and crashed towards You Chuhong like a big wheel.

The strangest thing was that the three cups of tea on the table all rotated with the table, but not a drop of wine in the cups spilled out, and of course they did not fall over.

You Chuhong's eyes flashed with surprise, and she rose up at lightning speed like a ghost. When the table came to her feet, her right foot emerged from under her black robe, and her toes touched the table with incredible swiftness.

Only then did Shen Lang realize that she was wearing a red embroidered shoe on her right foot, while the shoe on her left foot was green.

Very strange outfit.

Click.

The four solid legs of the wooden table shattered into pieces, but the tabletop remained intact. It lowered to the ground, and not a single drop of tea spilled from the cup on the tabletop. It was as if it had been carefully placed on the ground.

"Not bad." Shen Lang said with a smile, "It's a bit high."

You Chuhong suddenly let out an unpleasant laugh like a night owl, and then said, "I heard from Ce'er that you think I am the only one in the Dugu clan who can withstand half of your moves, so I came to give it a try today."

After saying that, he swung the cane in his hand forward, and immediately a green and luminous shadow of the cane filled the entire hall, enveloping Shen Lang and the other two.

Both the speed and the strength have reached an astonishing level.

The most powerful thing is that every time he swings the staff, it generates a force that is as sharp as a blade and can cut through the body, making it difficult to defend against it.

There was a hissing sound, like pearls falling on a jade plate, which never stopped.

Ji Qian and Hu Xiaoxian were both weak in martial arts. Just the sudden sound of the wind brought by You Chuhong's jade staff made their eardrums hurt, and they hurriedly covered their ears.

Shen Lang praised: "The Cloak Staff Technique is indeed well-deserved. Let's see how my One Finger Zen works."

After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger and hit the tip of the stick that You Chuhong was swinging.

The next moment, You Chuhong felt a sharp and irresistible force of true energy like a blade penetrating into her staff. She was shocked and took two steps back, her heart filled with horror.

You know, she is famous for her extremely mysterious staff techniques, but now she was forced to take two steps back by a single finger.

It's something I've never seen or heard of.

I dared not neglect it anymore.

He attacked again, and began to fight back with every move. Relying on his powerful internal and external skills, he flashed with green light and used the green jade staff in his hand to wrap Shen Lang and the other two in it.

Hu Xiaoxian and Ji Qian continued to cover their ears to avoid being hurt by the wind.

Because this stylish old woman's cloak and staff skills have reached a superb and extraordinary level.

The jade staff had transformed into an unnameable weapon in her hands, which were as dry as eagle claws.

Not only can it be hard or soft, it can also bring out the characteristics of various weapons such as whips, swords, knives, sticks, spears, etc. It is truly changeable and endless.

Such a powerful move is no less impressive than Zhu Yuyan's. It only takes a moment.

Shen Lang's finger pointed at the tip of her staff again.

The sound of the stick suddenly stopped.

You Chuhong dodged several steps and escaped from the battle circle, gasping for breath.

I was extremely shocked.

She didn't expect that she really couldn't make things difficult for Shen Lang. No wonder the other party dared to challenge the three masters at the same time.

What the hell.

Are all young people so strong nowadays?
Li Yuanji's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he secretly felt lucky.

You Chuhong was actually forced to retreat by him!

If I had stepped forward to challenge him just now, I would have been thrown out.

He suddenly felt fortunate for his decision.

Dugu Feng immediately came to You Chuhong's side, reached out and rubbed her vest, and glared at Shen Lang, saying, "It's all your fault. You knew my grandma was not in good health, but you didn't give in. You tired her so much that she became ill."

Shen Lang was instantly both amused and confused. This woman was really unreasonable.

She probably suffered a loss last time, so she specifically asked You Chuhong to stand up for her.

Moreover, they deliberately chose this place and this moment to cause trouble, either to make You Chuhong retreat, or to take advantage of this opportunity to make the Dugu clan famous.

The former idea is easy to understand, but the latter idea is completely wrong.

You Chuhong suddenly took a deep breath, a blush flashed across her face, and then she stopped breathing.

Shen Lang didn't argue with Dugu Fa and smiled, "As the saying goes, an invitation is not as good as an accidental encounter. Why don't you sit down and drink some hot tea first? If there is anything, we can talk slowly. If we can't reach an agreement, we can continue fighting."

Dugu Feng said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense. As long as you hand over the Heshi Bi, we'll leave!"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "The Heshi Jade is indeed in my hands, but do the Dugu Clan really want to get involved in this matter? I don't think it's a good thing. There are so many people in this restaurant now. If you get the Heshi Jade, I dare say that starting today, countless people will visit the Dugu Clan."

You Chuhong and Dugu Feng exchanged glances, both stunned.

Maybe I didn't expect him to admit it so decisively.

After a moment, You Chuhong snorted coldly, "It seems you really have some skills. No wonder you want to challenge the three great masters. Since you want to invite me to tea, how can I just leave like this?"

"Please sit down." Shen Lang said, and asked the waiter to bring a new table.

Dugu Feng blinked his eyes, and his tone suddenly became polite. He asked, "Brother Shen, why do you want to challenge the three great masters?"

"It's not good to be too idle. You have to find something to do." Shen Lang sighed, "Because being invincible is very lonely and empty."

This sentence left You Chuhong and Dugu Fan speechless for a moment.

But it feels like there is nothing wrong.

The diners around didn't dare to say anything and could only speculate in their minds.

Some people think that the tone is too arrogant.

Some people also think that we should be so proud.

Some people even thought that if they had such skills, they would definitely be more crazy than him.

You Chuhong's eyes flashed with a terrifying brilliance behind the cracks of her eyelids. She stared at Shen Lang and asked, "I only have one question for you. You went to steal the Heshi Bi, but was it Wang Shichong who ordered you to go there? Otherwise, how would you know that the Heshi Bi was with Kong?"

Shen Lang understood a little.

The purpose of You Chuhong's coming here was not to get the Heshi Bi, but to take action against Wang Shichong.

Assuming they can retrieve the Heshi Bi, they can publicly return the treasure to the Jingnian Zen Temple. In this way, the Dugu clan will surely gain great prestige and win the favor and support of Shi Feixuan.

But what is more important is that the Dugu clan is now tied to the Li Tang clan. Once this fact is used to prove that Wang Shichong is the mastermind behind the scenes.

It can play a key role in the struggle between major forces, and even allow Li Tang to use this incident to eliminate Wang Shichong and make Li Tang's world even bigger.

Shen Lang shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Wang Shichong. I have my own channels when I come out to travel the world."

"You don't want to hand over the Heshi Bi?" You Chuhong's jade staff slammed onto the ground, making a deep, thunderous sound, and the shockwaves reached everyone's feet.

Everyone present was shocked.

This old lady's skills are really profound.

At the same time, he also agreed that Shen Lang was indeed capable of challenging the three great masters.

No wonder he is favored by Ji Qian and Hu Xiaoxian.

Some people even hate themselves for not having such skills, otherwise they would have to be accompanied by beautiful women every day.

Shen Lang didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup and said, "Please."

You Chuhong glared, her eyelids raised, revealing a brilliant glint in her pupils. She said with a sly smile, "You are so brave! I believe you have the ability to duel with the three great masters. The Heshi Jade will remain with you. Feng'er, let's go."

After saying that, she asked Dugu Feng to take her downstairs.

After she left, Hu Xiaoxian whispered, "This old lady is really amazing."

"Am I not better than her?" Shen Lang said, "Have some tea."

After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to Xiaoyao Palace with the two of them and enjoyed himself with the beauties.

Poems as proof:

The beauties accompanied the emperor at the banquet on horseback, and the women served on the emperor's bed in the carriage.

Don’t be surprised that we have reached the extreme of arrogance and extravagance, and still find singing and dancing just ordinary.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the duel with the three great masters arrived.
