Chapter 309 Going up to the Fifth Floor
Zuo Lu raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice slightly.
"I heard that you were also grounded?"
The word 'ye' is used very cleverly.
After the bonfire party that day, Zuo Lu was banned from home by the family elders because of this incident.
Only large gatherings like today's can be considered legitimate reasons to go out.
As a result, when she saw Hei Ao being so honest today, she had a hunch that this guy, like herself, should be grounded.
After all, they experienced the bonfire event together and participated in matters related to Juemen. Regardless of the Hei family or the Zuo family, their attitudes towards Juemen should be similar.
Juemen is not a trivial matter, enough to attract the attention of the five major families, so naturally it is impossible to let juniors like them do whatever they want to avoid getting into trouble.
But Juemen had an affair with the Bonfire Club, and the Bonfire Club was involved in the war between the Lin family and the Li family. There was something wrong with Juemen and what others did with Juemen.
Although he was banned, he was still well-informed.
Zuo Lu's trust in the Jue Sect was decreasing, and the pure sect that was rumored to be fighting to the death with demons didn't seem to be very pure either.
Sure enough, nothing is better than hearing it once.
Today the Juemen can disturb the Lin family and the Li family, but tomorrow they might come to stir up trouble with the Zuo family.
It's a pity that the elders in the family are obviously not wary of Juemen. They still believe that Juemen is just a special sect that is incompatible with monsters and monsters and is indifferent to other things.
The elders must be made aware that there is a problem with Juemen and they must investigate!
Zuo Lu is a child of the Zuo family, so she naturally thinks about the overall situation of the Zuo family.
But she didn't know what Hei Ao was thinking.
If Hei Ao thinks the same way, the two may join forces and find a way to secretly investigate the matter. It just so happens that Diao Deyi is outside as a helping hand, and the two of them can cover thousands of miles without going out.
But at this moment, Hei Ao didn't seem to want to talk to her.
Looking away from Zuo Lu, Hei Ao actually closed his eyes.
"What is the grounding? I don't understand what you are talking about. These days, I have been practicing hard at home and am too lazy to go out."
What kind of face do you have at this time? ?
Zuo Lu glanced around and saw a group of people muttering to the two of them, which was annoying.
On top of that, she heard some outrageous mutterings.
"That is the daughter of the Zuo family, Miss Zuo Lu, she is so beautiful!"
"When did Miss Zuo Lu get involved with Brother Hei Ao? The relationship between the Zuo family and the Hei family seems to be average, and they don't have much contact on weekdays."
"What do you know! It's your turn to judge other people's talent and beauty? I often hear elders say, don't look at things from the surface. The two of them are so close today, doesn't it mean that the Hei family and Zuo family want to join forces? Marriage is just the beginning of breaking the ice!”
It's just a little interaction, and there are malicious speculations.
Both of them are influential figures and are the center of attention wherever they go, so naturally they cannot avoid this kind of discussion.
Frowning, Zuo Lu opened his mouth and tapped lightly on the table.
"It's too late to start chasing now. That guy must have hidden his strength that night and didn't use all his strength."
The tabletop had some strange lines like ripples. Hei Ao's palm placed on the tabletop immediately felt a friction sound, as if someone had written something on his palm.
With a flick of the brush, Hei Ao opened his eyes.
"Know your shame and then be brave. Our talents and resources are far superior to that guy's. If we accumulate it, we will definitely be able to equal or surpass him."
With that said, Hei Ao stood up, crossed Zuo Lu, and walked out.
"Besides, I'm not interested in what you're talking about."
It is different from the little material Zuo Lu got.
At the bonfire party, Hei Ao got the blood of the Black Phoenix from Fang Yu.
Now he is studying how to control this power and increase his own strength every minute and second.
It can be said that if he encounters that night again and is besieged by many demons, as long as he unleashes the power of the black phoenix blood, he can face the enemy alone without Fang Yu's assistance!
This is the domineering technique of the Hei family, combined with the terrifying increase in strength of the Black Phoenix Blood.
Today is different from the past. He has reached a higher level, and is still rising. The powerful blood power of the black phoenix blood replenishes his body, and also allows his cultivation progress to reach a higher level.
It can be said that after returning from the bonfire party, Hei Ao has entered a period of rapid growth in strength, and now, it is still growing!
Although he felt a bit grounded by the elders in the family, he himself was indeed practicing hard. Even if he was not grounded, he would not go out.
What's more, the stay-at-home order at home is a soft order. If he really wants to go out, few people at home can stop him.
Unlike Zuo Lu, Hei Ao is the third son of the Hei family, and his status in the Hei family is completely different from Zuo Lu's status in the Zuo family.
Hei Ao was favored by thousands of people in the Hei family, while Zuo Lu stood out among the many children of the Zuo family at most because of his talent in the art of leftism.
"Hei Ao!"
Seeing that Hei Ao was about to leave, Zuo Lu subconsciously reached out and grabbed his wrist.
It's okay if he doesn't catch him, but once he catches him, the people around him scream out in surprise.
"She, she's caught!"
"It's broken! Brother Hei Ao is going berserk!"
"Today, I'm afraid Jiu Niang Tower will see blood!"
"The elders in the clan are on the upper floors of the restaurant, so even Hei Ao wouldn't dare to cause trouble..."
"Do you know what you are talking about? That is the third son of the Black family!"
All the people present were children of the five major families. Who didn't know the famous Hei Ao, who had a violent temper?
That guy was quite disgusted with this kind of skin contact.
Unless he wanted to, if others dared to touch him like this, it would be like triggering his reverse scale, and it was self-evident what would happen.
Even in this occasion, with a woman like Zuo Lu, everyone had no doubt that Hei Ao would take action!
Hei Ao of the Hei family and Zuo Lu of the Zuo family were both influential figures, but they had never fought each other. Who was stronger and who was weaker might be decided today!
Under the gaze of everyone, Hei Ao stopped, but Zuo Lu still held his wrist, without the intention of letting go.
This was the most direct provocation!
Everyone held their breath, feeling that a storm was coming and a war was inevitable.
But the next moment, Hei Ao's actions surprised everyone present!
Hei Ao slowly stretched out his other hand, put it on Zuo Lu's hand, and slapped it away.
The whole process was very calm and peaceful, without any sign of anger, just a slight frown.
"You know I don't like others touching me."
That was Zuo Lu, who had been through life and death together and fought side by side.
If someone else dared to touch him like this, Hei Ao would have turned his face against him long ago.
"What's going on?! The sun is rising from the west?"
"... Zuo Lu, that woman, is not simple, she can actually capture the heart of Brother Hei Ao!"
Everyone's eyes almost popped out.
But this time, no one dared to speak again.
If it were someone else, they would probably not dare to do it again after being slapped away by Hei Ao.
But Zuo Lu, without any intention of giving in, looked directly at Hei Ao and said.
"I need your help."
Hei Ao hesitated, thinking of their friendship, and finally nodded.
"... OK, then tomorrow, I'll go to the Zuo family to see you."
"Zuo family?"
Zuo Lu was stunned.
"You really haven't been grounded?"
It shouldn't be. We all have been exposed to the secrets behind the Bonfire Club. It doesn't make sense that I am the only one to be punished.
Zuo Lu was a little depressed and pouted slightly, which was quite cute.
Among the three, Hei Ao and Zuo Lu were managed by their families, while Fang Yu was independent and naturally not punished.
As a result, Hei Ao, who had the same background as herself, had nothing to do after returning, but was punished by the family for being grounded. What kind of thing is this?
Zuo Lu felt a little unbalanced.
Hei Ao was too lazy to care about her. Hei Ao was just sitting there for leisure. Now that Zuo Lu was making such a fuss, there must be a lot of people secretly reconsidering and pointing fingers. It's better to leave.
Regardless of Zuo Lu, he strode away and quickly left the noise behind.
Floor after floor.
Just when Hei Ao went down to the fifth floor of the Jiu Niang Building, he suddenly heard a familiar name, which made him stop abruptly.
"… Useless thing! You are scared like this by a small patrol officer! What's that guy's name? Diao Deyi, right? I will find someone to kill him tomorrow! Then you can take the opportunity to put pressure on Qian Guxing and force her to come to see me, got it!"
"Yes... yes!"
"Brother Bai Kang, there is no need to be angry. Why bother you to kill a patrol officer? Let us do it!"
"That's right, for such things, let us little ones do it. Killing that kind of guy will dirty your hands!"
As the few people laughed, they didn't care about human life at all, as if they had already taken Diao Deyi's life.
But they didn't notice that Hei Ao, who came down the corridor, had turned and walked towards them.
With a snap, his palm slapped on the table.
With his head down, his hair was scattered, revealing a cold eye, looking around.
"Just now, who said... to kill my brother Diao Deyi?"
As the voice fell, everyone was shocked!
At the same time, Zuo Lu's figure also appeared at the entrance of the fifth floor stairs, as if chasing Hei Ao down.
Seeing the commotion here, he strode over.
…
A few minutes ago.
The fifth floor of Jiuniang Building.
Shan Sichen finally waited for the guard to come back.
Behind him, there were two more people.
"Master Bai Kang asked you to go up, we are here to exchange with you."
The guard didn't say anything, but the guy who just came down spoke.
In Shan Sichen's puzzled eyes, the guard frowned.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and go up, the person you are looking for is on the fifth floor, don't go to the wrong place."
Letting people in is against the rules.
But if the servants inside come out and replace with the people outside, as long as they are not discovered, they will not be punished.
This is a tacit unspoken rule, and it is also a way for guards to increase their profits.
In fact, at this kind of gathering, many strong men from the five major families are present, and basically no one dares to cause trouble, so guards are just pretending, which is equivalent to a lucrative job, and you can't get it without some connections.
Shan Sichen doesn't understand the twists and turns inside, but he also knows that the guards are not easy to mess with, so he has been quite polite.
After entering the Jiuniang Building, Shan Sichen lowered his head and hurried on his way.
If someone discovered that he had replaced someone else, the guard, who was a relative, might only be punished, but he, a small figure, might die on the spot.
Moreover, anyone in the Jiuniang Building could kill him with just a flick of the finger.
It was most important to hurry on his way and see Lord Bai Kang as soon as possible.
The first floor, the second floor, the third floor...
Soon, Shan Sichen reached the fifth floor.
At this time, he dared to look up and look around.
"That's... Lord Li Wei of the Li family!"
"And Mr. Baisha from the Bai family!"
"Wait a minute! Is that Lady Lin Bei from the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall? She can only live on the fifth floor..."
Shan Sichen was shocked every time he saw someone.
Everyone here is a well-known big shot if you pull them outside.
Now they are all gathered together, it is like a feast.
The five major families that used to fight openly and secretly gathered together to maintain superficial friendship.
I just wonder if the senior officials of the Lin family and the Li family, who had just fought, are here too?
While he was thinking wildly about gossip that had nothing to do with him, Shan Sichen suddenly saw the person he was looking for. He was in front of him, surrounded by a group of people toasting him.
That sullen nose and handsome appearance with three-dimensional facial features was his new eldest brother, Master Bai Kangbai!
Shan Sichen instantly felt proud on his face.
The people who were toasting around Lord Bai Kang were not as famous as the few people just now, but they were still well-known figures among the five major families.
But at this moment, these people are all surrounding Lord Bai Kang.
The higher Lord Bai Kang's status is, the more respect he will have when he flashes Si Chen's face!
Quickly walking over, Shan Sichen did not say anything directly, but came to Bai Kang's side and waited beside him.
After Master Bai Kang drank the wine offered to him by others, Shan Sichen took half a step forward and saluted.
"Lord Bai Kang!"
Bai Kang immediately frowned slightly, as if his interest was disturbed, and he looked a little unhappy.
Wave your hand and let the next person to toast sit back down first.
He squinted at the person next to him, and Bai Kang's face turned even darker.
"Where are the people?"
That's right, Bai Kang thought that Shan Sichen had brought Qian Guxing here, so he asked his servants to go down and replace him.
Unexpectedly, only Shan Sichen came up.
I was busy socializing at the time, so I didn’t ask much.
After all, he thought, if Shan Sichen dared to come to him at this juncture, it was probably because Qian Guxing had taken care of it and brought it to him to cheer him up.
Who would have thought that this waste would come alone and empty-handed!
When Bai Kang was angry, Shan Sichen was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
"Sir, sir, please calm down! I was about to succeed, but the woman almost gave in. But halfway through, a patrol officer suddenly appeared. He was extremely arrogant and had an extremely bad attitude. He not only fought for love and occupied the woman, but also threatened, Threatened...to take your life!"
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
"Where did this thing come from? You have no way to speak!"
After Shan Sichen finished speaking, before Bai Kang could say anything, the others at the same table had already slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily.
Shan Sichen knelt neatly without any hesitation.
"Sir! Lord Bai Kang, calm down! This is not what the villain said, it was said by the arrogant inspector himself! He even said it to me while hugging the woman, his attitude was extremely arrogant! Before the villain said this, sir After the name, it’s still like this! I don’t take the adults seriously at all!”
