Chapter 56 A Silly Bear
The light blue sky was clear and empty, with impetuous white clouds following the wind, and a few lines of black birds streaking across the sky.
In Oak City, large stone bricks were piled together on the spacious main roads of the city, forming a grid-like ground.
The two sides of the road were relatively clean, unlike some narrow side roads that were full of garbage and occasionally piles of feces and urine.
The Oak City Government has taken some measures to improve the city appearance, and will regularly hire cleaners to clean the city avenues.
On the road, there were many carriages passing by quickly. Occasionally, there were some particularly luxurious ones, with golden carvings on the wheels and curtains, and the ropes for pulling the horses were decorated, and the drivers outside were dressed in suits and leather shoes.
These were carriages from some wealthy business families, not those nouveau riche, but families that had been passed down for a certain period of time. They would specially raise several carriages and professional drivers, just to have a good-looking face.
At the intersection, two middle-aged men in blue police uniforms were chatting and laughing. One handed a cigarette to the other, and the two smoked while looking at the passers-by.
The police were still a new thing in this era. In the 71st year of the Red Li Federation, in order to maintain public order, the Federal Parliament passed the Public Security Law and decided to establish police in various places, requiring each county to establish a police force. The highest leader of the police is the Minister of the Interior.
On the sidewalk near the right, a black carriage gradually stopped. A man and a woman got off.
"What time is it?" Lixia asked, looking at Kaxiu next to him.
Kaxiu took out the pocket watch that Lixia gave him from his arms.
"Eleven and five."
"That's okay, we can make it. The banquet will start at about eleven thirty, and the scale should be quite large. After all, in addition to you, the core disciples of the Wind Elephant Sect, there are also powerful and wealthy businessmen in Oak City and several nearby cities. Our Wind Elephant Sect is quite powerful..."
Lixia smiled and said, "Stand closer, I'll help you tidy up your clothes." Kaxiu took two steps forward, while holding his head high and chest out. Lixia helped him straighten the wrinkles of his clothes while saying, "Be more energetic, you are the absolute protagonists of the banquet..."
"Other core disciples of Fengxiang Sect have more or less socialized with the powerful, but you became a core disciple relatively late, and you practiced hard all day. So most of the people at the banquet today may focus on you and your senior brother."
After Lixia finished speaking, she added teasingly, "There may be many beautiful girls attending this banquet. If you like any of them, remember to tell your teacher, and your teacher will keep an eye on you."
She smiled and looked at the tall and handsome Kaxiu with satisfaction. Since the decadent atmosphere dissipated, the confident Levi seemed to have more and more charm of a calm man.
"So handsome! Don't embarrass your teacher, go."
Lixia patted the light blue buttons on Kaxiu's chest.
"Yes." Kaxiu said silently, he walked forward slowly, and looked back not far away. There was a figure squatting on the ground and coughing.
His back was shaking, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Kashu paused and looked deeply. Only when Lisha in the distance seemed to notice something did he turn around and continue moving forward.
He knew he couldn't save her, and he knew she was already terminally ill. So don't droop helplessly in sadness.
What did Lisha want to see most? Of course, a confident, resolute, brave, hardworking, radiant and dazzling Levi.
Then Kashu should do it and become what she wants him to be, at least before this retrospection ends.
After all, there is no harm in this, right?
Ten minutes later, Kashu stopped and looked up.
A tall, pointed-roofed building similar to a theater appeared in front of him, with exquisite and majestic carvings on the exterior. There was a huge sign at the main entrance with a line of golden characters: Ferrole Auditorium.
Outside the building was a circle of pure white walls, and some decorative ornamental trees could vaguely see the treetops through the top of the wall.
At the gate, two strong men in black stood.
He took a look and strode over. The two sturdy men saw Kaxiu and did not stop him. They even respectfully called him "senior brother" when Kaxiu passed through the gate, and then returned to their original state.
It turned out that the two men were fellow disciples of Fengxiang Sect.
"Stop! Where is the invitation?" A sturdy man suddenly said.
At the door, a white-faced young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes, a tall hat and a suit was stunned. He raised his black cane.
"Didn't that man just go in without an invitation?"
"You are talking nonsense. Can my fifth senior brother of Fengxiang Sect be the same as you? This banquet is for several senior brothers! If you don't have an invitation, get out of the way and don't waste our time."
The sturdy man with his hands on his chest tightly held his arms, and the circles of knotted muscles on them became more and more swollen, which was very oppressive.
"..." The young man opened his mouth and retreated helplessly.
He didn't dare to report his family name at such a large banquet. Not only would it not give face, but it would bring disaster to the family.
In the manor, Kaxiu walked along the fine cobblestone road.
On the way, two servants wearing black vests, white shirts, and blue bows on their collars saw Kaxiu.
One of them was immediately brightened and asked.
"Excuse me, Mr. Levi?"
"Yes." Kaxiu nodded.
"Then please follow me." The man said respectfully, and turned around to whisper with another person next to him. The other person was obviously going to report the news, and he ran over in small steps.
Led by the servant, Kaxiu walked along the cobblestone road. Instead of entering the ceremonial hall, he arrived at a tall building behind the ceremonial hall. It was a long building with black background and white walls.
At the door, the servant withdrew and he could not go on.
Kaxiu walked forward alone, stepped onto the steps, and pushed open the golden and silver door. In an instant, a hall with a fairly empty space appeared in front of him. The floor was made of pieces of colorful marble, and square pillars supported the roof.
Occasionally, there were green potted plants next to the pillars.
On the surrounding walls, landscape paintings were hung at regular intervals. The most eye-catching thing was that on the white wall opposite the door, there were two axes stuck in a huge deer antler.
And right in front of this deer antler, a bald man with arms as muscular as tires and a body as burly as a bear turned his head.
A ferocious face suddenly appeared in front of Kaxiu. The man had one eye blinded on his face full of flesh, and it was blocked diagonally with a black bandage. It added a kind of boldness and wildness.
This man not only looks like a bear, but also has a more bear-like temperament.
Just as the two looked at each other and the air was about to freeze, the strong man spoke: "You must be the junior brother! I am Moses."
At the end, he paused slightly, scratched his shiny head, and added: "You should call me... Fourth Senior Brother."
OK, it turns out to be a silly bear...
I will post one chapter first, and see if I can post two more chapters tomorrow afternoon. If I can't post it, just ignore what I said. ⊙ω⊙
