The Otherworldly God

Chapter 78 Taking a seat

Mu Xin invited them to Qinglianju. Le Zheng Shuiling felt strange about the name at first, but she understood it after arriving at Qinglianju.

Looking in from the outside, there is not a single lotus on the lake, but if you stand in Qinglianju and look out, you can see that the lake is covered with lotuses.

Yun Xiu explained to them that the difference was caused by the barrier. It turned out that this was a man-made lake, which was what it looked like from Qinglian Residence. So although Qinglian Residence was surrounded by a barrier, it was not inside any barrier.

"No wonder I always feel that this place is different from other places. It's like a new house."

Everyone understood what Le Zheng Shuiling meant, which was that they felt that Qinglianju did not seem to belong to the Mu Mansion.

Outside Qinglianju, there was a wooden platform, where Mu Xin had set up the banquet. The platform was connected to a flight of stairs, and after going down the stairs, one could play in the water, but Le Zheng Shui Ling did not dare to approach casually.

Originally, Yinuo and the others were not going to attend, but since they were here, they just sat together. For Yunxiu, adding a few more banquets was not a difficult task. The banquet was one seat per person, one table per person, set up on both sides.

Le Zheng Shui Ling saw that there were still two empty seats, and when she looked again, she found that Qin Chu was not there, so she asked Yun Xiu.

"Sister Yunxiu, where is Miss Qinchu?"

"Isn't there another guest? Qin Chu invited him away, so Master Zhi probably won't be able to come."

It was then that Le Zheng Shui Ling remembered that there was a young master from the Gongsun family. Recalling that she had drunk with him yesterday, she wanted to drink with him again today.

"Since Master Gongsun has not arrived yet, let me introduce myself again. I am Elder Mu's daughter, Mu Xin."

"You are Mu Xin, the daughter of Mr. Mu. What about Qin Chu and Yao Yao?"

"I am father's adopted daughter, and Qinchu is also father's adopted daughter. My original surname was Hou, but now I declare to the public that it is Mu. So even though there is the third young lady of the Mu Mansion, only Xin'er is father's real daughter."

Le Zheng Shui Ling nodded.

"I see. Miss Xin'er, I think we have never met before. I am just curious, why would Miss Xin'er invite us... three of us apprentice Taoist priests who are not even famous enough to be Taoist priests?"

"We have met before, but I didn't reveal my identity at that time, so you haven't seen what I look like."

"Could it be that the lady who was traveling with Miss Qinchu that day was you?"

"Exactly."

"Miss Xin'er was not feeling well during those days and could not speak. She could only stay in Qinglian Residence all day long for several days. She was bored and we were worried about her illness and afraid that she would catch a cold if she went out. We could not have expected that Miss Qinchu, who always followed the rules, would secretly take Miss Xin'er out and go to such a far place. When we found out that Miss was not there, we were so anxious that we searched the entire Mu Mansion and almost searched the entire Huacheng."

Yun Xiu was fiddling with something in her hands while she was talking. She was sitting in the middle, in front of Mu Xin. The tables of other people were still empty. Only her table had a small plate with soybeans and a plate with water.

"That's not all. When they heard that Xin'er was missing, they all suspected that I had kidnapped her. Especially Yinuo, who came to me and asked me to hand her over. I was dumbfounded, and he told me not to play dumb. I really don't know what's going on. Yinuo, this guy, even took..." Yaoyao didn't finish her words, Yinuo's giant sword was already pointed at her. Yaoyao immediately dodged and continued, "Look, he threatened me like this."

Qingyi used his pipe to push away Yinuo's giant sword. After all, he was sitting between the two of them, and the sword was pointed at his neck first.

"This guy is too much of a hindrance when we're eating."

As he spoke, he tapped the giant sword with his pipe, and the sword made a crisp sound, and with the sound it turned into the size of an ordinary sword.

"Try to move my sword again."

Yinuo thrust his sword forward, but Qingyi blocked it with his pipe.

"Look, you're not that tall, why do you always use such a big sword? Put it away quickly. It's a sin to hurt the guests."

Seeing that the tip of the sword was stained with soot, Yinuo put down the sword with a look of disgust, wiped it on his body before putting it back.

"They have always been like this, please don't be surprised."

"No, no. It turns out she was feeling unwell. No wonder Miss Xin'er didn't say a word that day."

"I wanted to say something, but my throat hurts so badly, it's dry and painful. My sister and I were in a hurry to go out, and we forgot to bring water. We searched for a long time along the way but couldn't find a place to drink water. Fortunately, some people gave us some water, which was like drinking nectar. I will never forget your kindness."

"It's just a few glasses of water, it's nothing to worry about... By the way, I have to thank you for yesterday. If you hadn't paid for me, I would have been sued by that person. But don't worry, Miss Xin'er. I, Le Zheng Shuiling, promise that I will return the money to you one day."

"Seeing Miss Shui Ling like this, I feel embarrassed to say I won't return it. Miss Shui Ling, don't worry, I will always be waiting for that day."

Qin Chu came over with Gongsun Shouli and saw from a distance that they were laughing and talking about something. Even Miss Xin'er covered her face several times while laughing.

"I brought Master Gongsun here."

Seeing only Gongsun Shouli, Le Zheng Shuiling asked, "Why didn't my master come?"

"Master Zhi would like to come, but he probably can't leave."

"Master Gongsun, are you going to get drunk today too?"

Gongsun Shouli looked at the people present, including Yaoyao. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and quickly begged for mercy.

"Shou Li is really drunk. He was already in a state of disgrace yesterday. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all. Let's forget about it today."

"How could that be possible? Yesterday you drank with me, Shui Ling, and Lian Yi, and we were all drunk. That's quite a lot of alcohol. But today, you can forget about not going home until you're drunk, so you have to drink a hundred cups."

"Are you planning to drink up all of Father's liquor?"

"Shou Li has met Miss Xin Er."

"No need to be so polite, Master Shouli, please take a seat."

After Gongsun Shouli sat down, the demon immediately stood up and ran to him.

"Master Shouli, you are showing favoritism. After all, I am considered the second young lady of the Mu family."

Shouli immediately understood what she meant and was about to stand up to greet her, but she pulled him down to sit down again.

"I'm just kidding. Xin'er, there's no need for so many etiquettes. It's time to eat and drink now, don't be polite."

She clapped her hands and Shouli was stunned. He waited for her to say "ah" again before he quickly nodded.

"Shouli understands."

"Miss Yaoyao, please take a seat." Yun Xiu was afraid that Yaoyao would continue to tease him, so he quickly took over the conversation, and then began to fiddle with the beans in the dish, explaining: "I will serve you wine and food in a while. Although Qinglianju has its own small kitchen, it only prepares some snacks and fruits for the ladies occasionally, and rarely makes other food, so other meals are prepared from the large kitchen farther away.

The big kitchen is far away, so it is not suitable to bring the dishes from there every time, so we use this treasure to get the dishes. This treasure is originally a pair, called the mother and child plates. There is one in the big kitchen, which is the mother plate, which is much larger than this one, and the one in front of me is the child plate. I will use soybeans to remind them to serve the dishes, and they will use the mother plate to bring the food over, which can save a lot of time, but it must consume physical strength and magic power. "

After saying that, she threw a soybean in, and it sank immediately and disappeared. Soon after, they smelled the aroma of food and wine. Yun Xiu waved her hand, and a pot of wine and a plate of food appeared in front of them, one on each table.

Yun Xiu grabbed a handful of soybeans and flicked them onto everyone's table, and they turned into a set of bowls and chopsticks, a wine glass, and a spoon, with a glass of wine already in the glass.

Le Zhengli was the first to pick up the wine glass. After taking a sip, he praised: "It is indeed a good wine. It is worthy of the Mu Mansion."

They all knew very well that Le Zhengli was not just praising the taste of his own wine.

"As long as it suits Uncle Li's taste, it's good."

"Miss Xin'er, you're too polite. Come, I'll toast to everyone. Raise your glasses. Don't feel restrained because I'm older than you. I'm just older than you, otherwise I would have to call you brothers and sisters. It's not appropriate for you to always act according to my mood. Come, drink it up."

Seeing that Le Zhengli had finished his drink, the others also raised their glasses and drank.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as calling someone brother or sister."

"What's it going to be called?"

"Call me Auntie, for example, Auntie Qin."

As soon as Qingyi finished speaking, a knife appeared on his desk, and it was an ice knife.

"Yeah, some people are not as simple as calling you brother or sister. You have to call them shemales."

Human demon? Le Zheng Yuhua didn't know if the meaning here was the same, so he paid special attention to Qing Yi. From his appearance, clothes, words and deeds, he was undoubtedly a woman, until he noticed a detail that was difficult to find.

Le Zheng Shui Ling actually asked curiously: "What kind of demon is a demon?"

"You don't even know this. He is a human, but he is a demon."

Qingyi tapped Yaoyao's butt with his pipe, and Yaoyao immediately covered her mouth and gave him a look.

"I, Hou Qingyi, am a Taoist from the Taoist Alliance."
