Chapter 53 Xiao Qing's Past

"This is too exaggerated. At the age of 16, our muscles and bones have not fully grown, and the epiphyses have not yet closed. Everything is still changing. It is already very powerful to be able to step into the iron layer at the age of 17 like Nangong Yue. Yes. This girl Xiao Qing is already in the realm of luck, so now that seven years have passed, isn’t she already in the realm of bone refining? My God, a 23-year-old great martial artist!" Mu Xuan exclaimed and couldn't believe it.

"Yes, at that time everyone believed that Xiao Qing would definitely become a great martial artist in the realm of bone refining, and he would go further in the future. So Xiao Qing's light at that time could be said to have completely overshadowed the younger generation in Fangchao City. The granddaughter who is the most valued and beloved, almost always takes her with her when she goes in and out, so that she can be taught and cultivated at all times. There were even rumors in Fangchao City that Xiao Qing would become the person behind the scenes of the Xiao family in the future, and she would not marry out, and wanted to marry Xiao Qing can only join Xiao's family."

"It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. The value and love of Mr. Xiao originally wanted to guide and cultivate Xiao Qing, but in the end it hurt her instead. Seven years ago, when he went out once, Mr. Xiao suffered from the evil sect of the Nether Sect. Master Xiao was ambushed. Mr. Xiao was killed on the spot, and Xiao Qing had a chance to escape completely. Unfortunately, although she has a high level of cultivation, she has the kindness of a woman. Grandpa's corpse was thrown into the wild, so that in the end, although she was waiting for reinforcements, she herself was seriously injured, and her foundation was invaded and entangled by the death energy of the netherworld. When Lu Taiqiang said this, he closed the paper fan and shook his head again and again, not knowing whether he was laughing at Xiao Qing's stupidity or feeling sorry for her.

Everyone sighed when they heard this, especially Mu Xuan, a woman with a lively temperament and relatively rich feelings, asked unwillingly: "Is there really no hope at all?"

"A few days ago, I overheard a family member say that there is a kind of beast called the Eight Desolation Jade Python, which can rebuild the foundation, but the Eight Desolation Jade Python is a third-rank alien beast, and its strength is comparable to that of a martial artist at the peak of transformation. , and lives in the depths of the Wuyang Mountains, who in the Xiao family can hunt for her? So it seems that there is still a little hope, but in fact it is tantamount to nothing." Lu Taiqiang replied.

"Ah!" Mu Xuan sighed deeply after hearing the words.

Seeing this, Qin Ziling glanced at Mu Xuan in surprise.

He didn't have much contact with Mu Xuan, so he didn't expect her to have such a rich relationship.

"Then what's next? Senior Brother Lu." Luo Yuke didn't have as many emotions as Mu Xuan, and just asked gossip.

"In the battle seven years ago, Mr. Xiao was killed, and Xiao Qing lost his strength. The Xiao family suddenly lost two bannermen, one old and one young, and then began to decline. In terms of momentum, the Pang family was completely defeated. Suppression, something has happened in recent years, the strength is almost at the bottom of the five major families. Hehe, it’s far away. Let’s go back to Miss Xiao Qing. She lost her strength and lost the care of Mr. Xiao. The status in the family will naturally plummet."

"However, after all, she is the eldest daughter of the fourth family on the main line, and in terms of martial arts, she can also be regarded as the No. She still has some real power. She found another way and took care of business matters."

"Not to mention, this girl Xiao Qing is a genius in martial arts, and she is also quite talented in business. In just seven years, she has established a world in the business world. In addition to this Zuixiaolou, it is said that she also has several industrial shops. It's just that she is a woman who seldom shows her face in public. All things are basically handled by the shopkeepers. She only manages strategies behind the scenes, so she doesn't have much reputation. After a long time, except for older warriors or children from wealthy families, Basically, very few people have heard of the most outstanding genius in Fangli City, and gradually they have forgotten that there is such a number one person."

"In addition to the quiet environment of this Zuixiaolou, all the service staff are one-of-a-kind people. What makes people talk about it the most is that the ingredients used in its dishes are wild animals and medicinal materials from the mountains, which are great for those who practice martial arts. It is a tonic, and it also takes care of the taste, so it is favored by the dignitaries and nobles in the inner city and the children of wealthy families."

"Like this dish of dragon and tiger leaping, the ingredients used are silver scale python meat and white tiger meat with cloud pattern. The golden dragon spit beads, the ingredients used are golden scale python meat and golden feather chicken. The ingredients for this dish are muntjac deer. The meat of this golden branch and jade leaf is made of golden spirit grass and Yulu Ganoderma lucidum... As for this golden jade wine, I don't know what medicinal materials are used, but it is said that they are all rare and precious medicinal materials. Yuan Qi, this altar costs ten taels of silver."

"Tsk tsk, according to Senior Brother Lu's introduction, Senior Brother Zheng is using the name of birthday celebration to make up for us, this time we made a lot of money!" Mu Xuan said with bright eyes.

"Haha, it's indeed a big profit, but it's definitely not you, Mu Xuan, who made the most money!" Nangong Yue laughed.

Consciously or unintentionally, he glanced at Qin Ziling.

When everyone heard this, they were slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Qin Ziling.

Among the people present, Qin Ziling's family was the worst, and now that there was an extra man named Liu Xiaoqiang who was living on nothing, everyone took it for granted that it was impossible for him to send any valuable gifts.

Seeing this, Zheng Xinghan frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Ziling said calmly, "Senior Brother Lu has finished his introduction, can the birthday banquet officially begin?"

"That's right, Senior Brother Zheng, let's start quickly, after listening to Senior Brother Lu's words, my mouth is watering!" Mu Xuan pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Haha, we're all brothers from the same school, so there's nothing to be restrained about. Come on, let me offer you a toast, thank you all for your congratulations!" Zheng Xinghan raised his glass with a smile, looking at Qin Ziling with a hint of gratitude color.

What Nangong Yue said just now was obviously aimed at Qin Ziling. If Zheng Xinghan, the birthday star, deliberately explained that Qin Ziling gave him the Buyuan Pill, the situation would definitely become more complicated. If he didn't explain, Zheng Xinghan would feel sorry for Qin Ziling.

For Zheng Xinghan, Qin Ziling's initiative to change the subject helped him get rid of the dilemma, and also maintained the atmosphere of the birthday banquet.

Otherwise, if tit for tat were really to be fought, this good birthday banquet might end up in trouble.

"Haha, we are the ones who should thank senior brother for his guidance over the years, and also thank you for the great nourishment on this table!" Everyone picked up their wine glasses and stood up one after another.

Everyone drank a glass of wine together, and then everyone toasted to the birthday star one by one.

After Qin Ziling and the others had respected Zheng Xinghan, they stood up and raised their glasses to toast: "Brother, I wish my brother to be as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun, as long as the Wuyang Mountain, never to grow, not to collapse, to grow like pines and cypresses. Or promise!"

In another world back then, Qin Ziling had difficulty moving, but he was given more time to read quietly, so he memorized a lot of poems.

There is no Nanshan Mountain in this world, so Qin Ziling changed Nanshan Mountain to Wuyang Mountain.
