Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 567 225. The Marquis hosted a banquet (The Marquis Shangguan hosted a banquet in honor of Wu Xuanyue and thanked her with a large sum of money)
  Just now, Situ Lan was looking arrogant and arrogant. He never thought that Marquis Shangguan's few words and indifferent words could be so lethal. Not only did Situ Lan not dare to do anything again, he was as obedient as a cat, covering his mouth with his hands. , sweating profusely.

Dongfang Shuo let go with a cold face and let Situ Lan down. At this time, Situ Lan had lost his fighting spirit and was wilting a lot. He sat down quietly, not daring to say anything.

A male voice sounded in the room again: "Dongfang Shuo, are you outside the door?"

Dongfang Shuo responded promptly: "Yes, Lord! I'm right outside the door!"

Marquis Shangguan continued to ask: "So where is Taoist Priest Qianjisuan? Are you coming with you?"

Dongfang Shuo responded: "Replying to the Lord, Master Qianjisuan is by my side now and will obey the Lord's summons at any time."

Marquis Shangguan's tone suddenly changed, and he spoke with a hint of excitement: "Then why are you still hesitating? Please quickly invite the Taoist priest to come in -"

Dongfang Shuo said: "Yes!"

After finishing his words, Dongfang Shuo spread out his hand again, bowed respectfully and said: "Master Qianjisuan, please——"

After Wu Xuanyue sighed, she responded with a smile, and Hegu saluted each other. Then she raised her feet and stepped into the "Yong Bamboo" elegant house.

Wu Xuanyue walked into the elegant house, and Dongfang Shuo closed the door behind him. This concealment work was done in a timely manner.

Wu Xuanyue took a deep breath. For some reason, Wu Xuanyue could already feel the strong and domineering aura of this person who had not met him yet at this distance of a hundred feet -

The domineering power of the Shangguan family is indeed well-deserved and is intimidating.

Wu Xuanyue walked calmly and passed through the barrier. A man in Tsing Yi sat firmly at the dining table, drinking tea with a cup in one hand. His posture was elegant. He seemed calm and relaxed, but in fact he was domineering and impressive.

Wu Xuanyue couldn't help but beat her heart, and her steps slowed down involuntarily.

Shangguan Marquis raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Wu Xuanyue. After examining and sizing him up, he slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell, which was unfathomable and unpredictable.

Wu Xuanyue finally understood why Situ Lan was so afraid of the man in front of her, and why she felt a sense of awe from her heart——

The eyes of Marquis Shangguan have an unfathomable lethality. They are not as righteous as the eyes of a knight, nor as sharp as the eyes of a warrior. They are uniquely discerning. The arrogance of a warrior and the schemes of a powerful official are all in this man's eyes. Show.

Wu Xuanyue was frightened from the bottom of her heart and walked until she was three feet away from Shangguan Marquis. The pressure of the other party was so intimidating that Wu Xuanyue was forced to stop and did not dare to take another half step forward.

Wu Xuanyue did not dare to look directly into Marquis Shangguan's eyes. Her eyes unconsciously looked left and right, and just happened to fall on Dongfang Ying, who was standing beside Marquis Shangguan.

Wu Xuanyue roughly measured it at a glance, and out of curiosity, the distance between Dongfang Ying's standing position and his own was not much different, probably more than three feet away.

As expected, Marquis Shangguan is a very defensive person. No matter who he is, he will create a barrier of domineering and intimidating power. Others can only be forced to stay at a safe distance of more than three feet from Marquis Shangguan. If he were to get even half a step closer to Marquis Shangguan, he would definitely be swallowed up by his domineering aura.

In this case, Wu Xuanyue thought that it was good to maintain the status quo, and she had no intention of getting close to Shangguan Marquis.

Shangguan Marquis raised his hand, indicating that Dongfang Ying did not need to report the situation. Dongfang Ying showed a respectful fist gesture, then took two steps back, intending to stay in the room to wait for the two nobles in front of him.

Shangguan Marquis smiled brightly and slowly stood up and said: "Are you Taoist Priest Qianjisuan? As expected, you are as your name suggests. Judging from the Taoist Priest's young age, delicate features and good-looking bones, he is definitely not an ordinary person——"

With such compliments, Wu Xuanyue did not dare to take credit. Naturally, he understood that this was the way Marquis Shangguan dealt with others. He naturally had to be polite to a meritorious minister like himself who had great care for him. Wu Xuanyue saluted as he closed his eyes. He raised his eyes and slowly opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Shangguan has given me a great reward. I am just a charlatan, so I don't care."

Marquis Shangguan glanced sideways and winked at Dongfang Ying beside him.

Dongfang Ying understood, and hurriedly walked to Wu Xuanyue, spread out his hands to lead the way: "Taoist Master, please——"

Wu Xuanyue followed Dongfang Ying and walked to the opposite side of the round table. Dongfang Ying bent down, arranged the seats, and politely asked Wu Xuanyue to sit down.

Wu Xuanyue smiled and bent down to sit down. Dongfang Ying hurriedly poured tea and water for Wu Xuanyue. This behavior was quite respectful.

Marquis Shangguan opened his mouth and said: "I have been looking for the best Bilu Chun during these days in Nanxiang. I don't know if it is in line with Taoist Taoist Qianjisuan's taste."

Wu Xuanyue smiled and said: "That's very good. Second Master Shangguan has thought carefully about it."

Marquis Shangguan responded with a smile: "Master Qianjisuan, please——"

Wu Xuanyue held up a cup to stir tea. It seemed like a peaceful situation, but in fact, the two people were facing each other at the table, each with their own agenda, and the atmosphere was full of smoke.

While Wu Xuanyue was raising a cup of tea, Marquis Shangguan was thinking about his plans.

When the Wuxuan Moon Cup came to rest, Marquis Shangguan smiled and said -

"Today in the battle of Huang Shiliang, I heard my subordinates come to report. Master Qianjisuan can be said to be unpredictable and extraordinary in martial arts. With you here, helping my Qinglong Army, my three subordinates won a complete victory. Success Hunt down the thief Huang Shiliang! Here, Marquis Shangguan expresses his feelings. I wonder if the Taoist Master is satisfied?"

As soon as he said these words, Dongfang Ying held a wooden box in his hands and opened the lid of the wooden box. There was glittering gold and thousands of taels of gold.

Wu Xuanyue's eyes were dazzling, her face was filled with surprise, and her heart was beating even louder.

The Shangguan Marquis wanted to act cunningly, so he was rewarded with such a large sum of money. I'm afraid that it would not be to recruit troops and horses afterwards to show the richness of the wealthy family, but it would be a hush money to keep his mouth shut and prevent him from talking nonsense.

No matter which outcome it was, for Wu Xuanyue, it was not the outcome she wanted.

Gold is a joyful thing and everyone loves it, but not everyone can afford it. Money can make the devil push you, but money can also make you worry...

Wu Xuanyue, who has lived in a noble family all year round, knows this truth best.

It seems like a million dollars is so tempting, but I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it.

Wu Xuanyue's smile did not diminish, she covered the lid with one hand, pushed it back to Dongfang Ying, and slowly said -

"There is no reward for no merit. I was undoubtedly kidnapped by Huang Shiliang. In order to protect myself, I had to participate in the fierce battle. How can I have any merit? Brother Dongfang, on the other hand, is indispensable. This ten thousand gold reward , it is most appropriate to reward Brother Dongfang!"

After saying this, Marquis Shangguan's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled even more: "How could it be? This Dongfang Ying has made the greatest contribution in this battle. Our rich sect will not treat any meritorious minister badly. He will naturally have his merits." Reward, and this share belongs to you, Taoist Master Qianjisuan~ What? Could it be that Taoist Master Qianjisuan dislikes Shangguan Marquis’s tens of thousands of gold and can’t even see it?”
