Chapter 626: Storms Gather at Xingluo City (Part 2)
Chapter 631: Storms gather in Xingluo City (Part 2)
When summer vacation comes, the school will become extremely empty, and Xingluo Royal Academy is no exception. In addition to Shrek's exchange students and a few senior students, there are only a few dozen security guards and cleaners who are still working.
Marco yawned and walked out of the room. He rarely entered a deeper state of meditation last night, but he fell asleep in a daze.
Fang Jing was taking care of the mutant plant in the yard.
It was originally just an ordinary Arabidopsis, but since it was watered with nutrients, it has directly mutated. Not only did the roots and stems turn red, but it also has a strong resistance to diseases and insect pests.
The Arabidopsis in the other experimental control groups either grew normally or wilted.
Marco said hello: "Fang Jing, have you had breakfast?"
Fang Jing waved his hand, "I have, just bring the three dishes for the seniors. No need to bring them for Teacher Qin Ming, he and Teacher Ma Hongjun left before dawn."
"Hmm?" Marco immediately noticed something unusual, "Did they say where they were going?"
Fang Jing put down the sprayer and thought for a moment, "It seems they said they were going to Xingluo City to watch the excitement."
Marco said: "What excitement can there be in Xingluo City?"
Fang Jing was surprised and said: "Don't you know that today is the day when the Zhou family holds a wedding banquet."
August 10th, the weather is sunny and warm, suitable for marriage.
Before dawn, the road in front of the gate of Zhou Mansion was already brightly lit.
Buckets of stoves were placed on both sides of the road, and in steamers taller than people, one after another of the bowls were piled up, and a steady stream of fresh seafood was delivered in trucks.
Blast furnaces, big fires, big pots and shovels.
For this big feast that cannot be stopped until the evening, the chefs began to get busy.
The servants and maids in the mansion were also busy.
The second elder raised his head, like a big goose with fancy clothes, inspecting the small area inside and outside the house.
"The wedding procession of the Holy Dragon Sect has set off and will arrive in about three hours. Has the girl come back?"
The housekeeper who followed behind quickly replied: "She has entered the city and will be home in about 10 minutes."
"Well, there is still plenty of time. When she comes back, you should quickly change her into wedding clothes." The second elder adjusted his purple brocade robe with gold-embroidered magnolia branches, "I will go to greet the guests first. You keep an eye on it and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes."
A carriage stopped in front of the Zhou Mansion. The exterior decoration was not high-profile, but the royal mark engraved on it made people dare not neglect it. Under the reception of the doorman, the door slowly opened.
Dai Mubai got off the car first.
As soon as he got off the car, he felt some eyes falling directly on him.
There was curiosity, scrutiny, yearning, and all kinds of emotions.
He didn't say anything, but turned sideways and stretched out his hand.
Then, a hand with a white jade bracelet rested on his hand.
Zhu Zhuqing gently pressed the hem of her plain skirt and got out of the car.
Then it was Wang Xiaofeng, who had dressed up for a rare time. His handsome features, coupled with his gentle and elegant temperament, were simply a killer for young women.
After checking the invitations, the doorman led them into the house.
As soon as they entered the house, the people who were chatting at the door greeted them one after another.
The couple smiled kindly and responded politely.
Only then did they realize that one person was missing.
"Where is Xiaofeng?"
"Didn't he follow you just now?"
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing stared at each other with big eyes and asked each other in unison.
The protagonist they were talking about had already sneaked into the backyard.
A waiter who was about to enter the kitchen to serve dishes suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach. Amid the supervisor's scolding, he ran all the way to the toilet.
Just after closing the door and before taking off his pants, his eyes suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
"Why did you take so long? Don't you know that everyone is busy now? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and serve the dishes!" The supervisor pointed at the exquisite dishes and scolded Wang Xiaofeng.
Wang Xiaofeng rubbed his face and smiled, "Sorry, I'll go right away."
Looking at his back as he left, the supervisor scolded him a few more times, "Where did you find the helper? The quality is really getting worse and worse."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the waiter who just went to the toilet seems to have become taller.
Putting the dishes on the table, Wang Xiaofeng did not rush back to the kitchen, but found a plate to hold a glass of champagne and wandered among the VIPs.
Inadvertently, the colorless and tasteless liquid with ingredients seeped into all the wine and food.
"Who is getting married in the Zhou family today? It's such a big show." Nitia lifted the curtain and looked at the lively scene outside the carriage, talking to herself.
The old man pulled his face with an ugly smile and didn't say anything.
Since the old man came back a month ago, he has become a little strange. He won't say anything when asked, as if he is competing with himself.
The carriage circled and entered the Zhou Mansion from the back door.
As soon as Nitia got off the carriage, a large group of people rushed up. The steward maintained order, "The young lady is back, everyone hurry up and do what you practiced before."
"What is this?"
Nitia's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the coldness emanating from her inside out forced the servants and maids around her to take a few steps back.
The housekeeper endured the coldness, held Nidia's wrist, and begged: "Miss, please don't embarrass me at this time. The wedding team is coming soon. If you fail to get married on time, it will be a terrible sin." That’s big.”
But Nitya didn't move at all. It was like he was holding on to an iceberg, unable to shake an inch.
Nitya murmured: "Welcoming the bride, me?"
The coldness on his body enveloped the entire backyard in the blink of an eye, making people feel like they were in an ice cellar. Not even the scorching sun in the sky could bring any warmth.
In just a few breaths, the frost spread to the steward's entire body. If the old man's quick eyesight and hands hadn't broken his wrist and cut off the connection, his life could have been saved.
Nidia shattered the ice on her wrist, "No wonder you've been acting so strange recently, so you're also with them?"
The cold eyes hurt the old man's heart, but he couldn't say any words of defense and could only respond in silence.
"Okay, great!"
Nidia stopped thinking about it and turned to leave, but three figures stopped her.
It is the elders of three clans, the elders of four clans and the elders of five clans.
The three clan elders are already a hundred years old and have gray hair, but they look energetic and radiant in their luxurious attire.
It's just that in Nidia's eyes, they are all old bastards pretending to be phoenixes, and it's extremely ridiculous to act in front of her.
Even without looking into their hearts, she could feel the deep malice emanating from their dirty hearts.
The elder of the five tribes said with a smile: "Isn't this Wenxiu? We have just returned home. Where are you planning to go?"
Nidia looked around, not paying attention to the three of them at all, "You can go wherever you want, as long as you don't have to see your disgusting faces."
"You!" The elder of the five tribes almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.
But when he thought that today was such an important day, and that the wedding still required the cooperation of the little girl in front of him, he could only suppress his anger and said, "It's our problem that we didn't discuss it with you. However, the Shenglong Sect is indeed very sincere. As a Zhou family, I feel like making a sacrifice."
Nidia interrupted him impatiently, "Old bastard, since the Holy Dragon Sect is really as good as you say, why not marry yourself?"
"A little girl dares to humiliate me!" For so many years, no one has dared to speak to him like this. The elder of the five tribes was trembling with excitement, and his strong soul power suddenly dispelled the coldness of the entire courtyard.
"Lao Wu, calm down." The elder of the three clans frowned, with so many servants watching around him.
A chuckle interrupted the atmosphere of drawing swords and firing crossbows.
"I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold it back. Did I see something I shouldn't have seen? I'm sorry, I'm leaving now."
Although he said this, Dai Mubai had no intention of leaving at all. He stood aside with his arms around Zhu Zhuqing, as if he was just here to watch the show.
Dai Mubai was followed by distinguished guests, who were watching with interest, as if they were enjoying the drama that was about to be performed.
The elder of the two clans squeezed through the crowd and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"What's going on? What are you doing here? The wedding party has already entered the city. Wenxiu, why are you still here? Hurry up and get ready."
The elders of the two clans persuaded all the guests to return to the banquet in a good-tempered manner, and the family scandal should not be made public. The guests were also reasonable and gave them enough face, although they all deliberately slowed down their pace.
So many guests came to watch the fun, allowing Nidia to find a very short loophole in this tight circle.
Without any warning, a glittering ice wall rose into the sky from around Nidia's body, and the surrounding water vapor instantly condensed into ice mist, obscuring many sight lines.
The deliberate noise created a hole in the encirclement.
The soul power was compressed under her feet, and the reaction force that spurted out instantly caused her to explode at unparalleled speed.
But when she was about to jump over the wall, the figure of the elder of the two clans appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye, and slapped her back with a palm of his hand. The eight soul rings surrounding his body showed his strength.
Beside him, the three elders released their pressure in unison.
Four Contras stood on the wall.
The combined soul pressure formed like a tide, squeezing Nidia's body from all directions.
The elder of the second clan said coldly: "Zhou Wenxiu, you have read the books you have read in the past few years. You have no idea what filial piety is and what chastity is. Since ancient times, marriage has been ordered by your parents. When will it be your turn?" A girl keeps asking about marriage! Do you know the word "shame"?
"Are you worthy of talking about integrity?" Nidia stood up slowly under the pressure and showed a sarcastic smile. "Since you want to talk about it, let's talk about it in front of so many people."
The face of the old man from the second clan changed, and his soul power gathered again and he suppressed it, "Shut up, you yellow-haired girl."
But his words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. A domineering will locked him. The aura of the emperors in the world made his expression change again and again. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only let her continue. Go on.
"Since I can remember, my three meals a day have only been porridge, pickles, steamed buns and cabbage. There is no meat or fish at all, and my clothes are all old clothes. But I once asked my servants that my meal expenses are one gold soul coin a day, which is enough for a season. There are four new outfits.”
"Then the servant was beaten to death for stealing that day."
"All food and clothing expenses in the Zhou Mansion, every expense will go through the hands of the elders of the three clans. So, let me ask the elders of the three clans, you have misappropriated so many of my resources, and you have continued to invest these years. As a result, your grandson is only 28 years old. He is level 47, and he is called the Third Young Master of Xingluo along with a few inferior trash, and he is still very proud of it.”
"Hey, why didn't you see him here? He must be lying in some brothel again. They are indeed a family. They are all trash."
The face of the elder from the third clan turned green and white, and he was about to call out his martial spirit while the soul ring was floating. The elder from the second clan frowned and scolded: "Third, everyone is watching, control your emotions."
Nitya said coldly: "Old bastard, don't worry, it will be your turn next."
"When I was six years old, I awakened my martial soul and awakened the ability to peek into my heart. I high-fived you and swore that when I earned 10 million gold soul coins for my family, you would allow me to leave the family. As a result, I was about to earn enough When I negotiated the last order worth 100,000 gold soul coins for the Zhou family, rumors about me suddenly spread, and the deal that was originally a sure thing fell through. "
"Our agreement will always stop at 9.9 million gold soul coins. Yes, who would be willing to make a deal with the witch who peeks into the heart? No one wants their hidden secrets to be discovered, right? You have been corrupt so far All the financial accounts are hidden under the third tile from the top of the bookcase on the third floor of No. 135 Haute Street, Xingluo City."
Nitya blinked and said playfully: "Do you think I guessed it right, dear old bastard?"
Without the help of martial souls, can humans really use such incredible power like soul beasts?
But no one present doubted the authenticity, because there were many people inside who had done business with the girl in front of them.
She can accurately predict all your thoughts and feints. It is like the operation of the God of Commerce, which cannot be done by humans.
Therefore, what the girl said is probably true.
Nitya's self-destruction will undoubtedly bring the Zhou family's reputation, which has been built for hundreds of years, to its lowest point. The entire Zhou family, no, he, Zhou Yongcheng, will become the biggest joke in Xingluo in the past century along with this crazy girl. .
The anger suddenly swallowed up all the reason of the elder of the two clans, and the number one and fifth soul rings on his body shone at the same time, "Wild girl, I will discipline your parents well and let you know what the three obediences and four virtues are!"
"Second brother, don't!"
Lao Si Lao Wu quickly stopped him.
When the martial spirit is activated, the meaning is completely different.
It's a pity that Lao San secretly made a mistake and used his soul power to collapse the wall under his feet, making their movements a beat slower.
The furious elder of the two tribes picked up the Thunder Ming Overlord Spear and threw it out with all his strength.
The tearing sound of air flow instantly detonated the void. At the same time as the sharp air explosion sounded, it had already penetrated half of the rising ice wall.
Just as the tip of the gun was about to pierce the girl's delicate body, a white palm tightly grasped the gun body like an iron vice.
Amidst the fierce thunder, the gun barrel kept shaking, but it was unable to break free from the grip of the fleshy palm.
"The material is good, but the weight is too light."
Twisting his waist and throwing it out, the Overlord Spear turned into a streak of blue light and shot back at a faster speed.
How could the elders of the two clans dare to confront him head-on, so he could only dodge sideways and watch his martial spirit fly farther and farther in the sky until he could no longer see his figure and lost contact with him.
The young man held the girl in his arms, blocking all malice with his not-so-forgiving body.
"I'm going to take her away today. I'll see who dares to stop me."
