Chapter 215 Night Banquet
"How about we catch up later?"

At this moment, Tong Ren interrupted the two people's eye contact at the right time.

Miao Lingzi nodded, put away his previous astonishment, and resumed his appearance of a hermit. Li Ming did the same, his expression turned indifferent, just like a high monk.

But at this moment, the looks of the other people in the field were slightly different.

Tong Ren ordered the dishes to be laid out, and then he said to everyone, "I am deeply honored to have you all here today. Come, I'll toast you all!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up, raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass. Naturally, the rest of the people would not refuse him this face, and even Li Ming drank up the tea in the glass.

"This glass is dedicated to Master Mingxin, to thank him for saving my cousin's life and escorting her home!" After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank another glass.

"It's just a coincidence. I don't deserve it. Besides, Brother Tong gave me three gifts, and each one of them is very much to my liking. There's no need to be like this." Li Ming stood up and responded, and also drank a cup of tea.

Hearing the change in Li Ming's address, Tong Ren's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Of course I deserve it, but I have one thing to apologize for."

"Oh?" Li Ming asked, "I wonder what it is?"

Tong Ren sighed and said, "My sister is ignorant. She once promised Master Mingxin a Linglong Fruit. However, only the Lord of Jiulian City has the right to distribute it. So the position of Lord is vacant. In the election in seven days, if I am lucky enough to win, I will naturally offer it with both hands. But if I am not as skilled as him, I am afraid I may not be able to fulfill my promise. Master Mingxin, you can punish me as you wish!"

Chu Youmeng also said pitifully, "It's my fault for being rude. Now I'm putting Fourth Brother in a difficult position. Master Mingxin, if you're not satisfied, just make another request. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will definitely do it!"

Li Ming originally intended to use the Linglong Fruit to deduce the fourth level of "Return to Zhen Sutra" again. Now that he had no choice but to break through successfully, the Linglong Fruit was of little use to him, so he didn't care too much. Seeing Tong Ren being so frank, and the three gifts he gave did take a lot of thought, he didn't feel angry in his heart.

He just smiled faintly and said, "Miss Chu has already mentioned this matter to me before. I don't care. If you must punish me, then make me drink three cups of wine. I have to punish you!"

Seeing that Li Ming had lightly opened this section, the brother and sister looked at each other and relaxed a lot. However, they didn't know that the biggest reason was that Linglong Fruit was no longer useful to Li Ming.

Tong Ren then responded loudly, and then drank three cups in a row, his face already slightly red, while Chu Youmeng also drank three cups of wine while pinching his nose, his little face was pretty red, and he seemed to be a little drunk between his eyebrows.

Tong Ren continued holding the wine glass and said, "I toast to Taoist Xuan Ling again. Thank you for your hard work and efforts over the past few days. I am very grateful to you for running around and planning for me."

Miao Lingzi smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my niece. I'm a lazy bum, so if you want to thank someone, thank her."

After saying that, he pointed at Mu Qingcheng. Mu Qingcheng was a very important person. She was a true disciple of Xuanzhen Sect. Before Xuanzhen Sect met with disaster, only Patriarch Xiao in Jiulian City was worthy of her respect. Now, facing such a small scene, she was naturally not afraid at all.

Mu Qingcheng raised the wine glass gracefully and said with a bow, "Mr. Tong is kind-hearted and virtuous, and possesses both talent and integrity. He is a benevolent gentleman. We are helping him out of our hope that Jiuliancheng can flourish under his leadership. Don't even mention thanking me!"

These words resonated deeply, and struck a chord with Tong Ren. Having already drunk some wine, he felt relaxed and refreshed. He immediately said, "Ms. Qingcheng, you are truly a heroine. I wish I had known you earlier. It is such a great regret in my life!!!"

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp and then looked at Bian Suxin.

"Miss Bian, you've been in Jiulian City for three months, with your skillful hands and compassion, setting up a free clinic to treat the people. I, Tong, am honored by your medical skills and even more by your kindness. I offer you a toast!!!" Bian Suxin smiled and nodded, raised her glass and drank, then said, "Don't forget the medicinal herbs that Master Tong promised to donate."

Tong Ren laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it!"

Li Ming finally understood the reason and said, "Miss Bian, Master Tong, you two are kind-hearted and have done many good deeds. You will be rewarded in the future. Amitabha, Amitabha."

Miao Lingzi snorted at Li Ming's appearance and muttered softly, "He's changed. He's become no different from those old bald donkeys. So boring."

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Tong Ren, the host, was very good at socializing. Li Ming also had good relationships with the others. He could even chat with Bian Suxin, the only person he didn't know, about medical matters. The banquet ended in a very enjoyable evening for both the host and the guests, which made Li Ming very happy.

Then everyone dispersed. At this time, Xu Xiao said that he had arranged accommodation for Li Ming, so he didn't need to go to the inn to rest. As for the luggage, it would be delivered tomorrow, so Li Ming didn't need to worry.

Of course, Li Ming didn't have much luggage. The only thing worth mentioning was the black gold stick he had taken from Niu Ben, which he was now using very well. So he gave Xu Xiao some advice.

Xu Xiao immediately patted his chest and said that he would take responsibility for the matter, and if anything went wrong he would be beheaded.

Then Bian Suxin said that she originally wanted to prescribe a prescription for Li Ming today, but knowing that Li Ming could handle his injury by himself, she made an appointment to go to the medical tent tomorrow to have a face-to-face communication before making a decision.

Finally, there are Miao Lingzi and the other two.

Miao Lingzi asked Fang Ming and Li Ming to meet at midnight tonight to discuss important matters.

At this point, tonight's banquet has come to an end.

However, this is just an introduction, and I'm afraid there will be many more troubles to come.

Li Ming naturally knew everything clearly in his mind. After everyone left, Li Ming sat upright in the house, thinking secretly.

"What are the origins of Mu Qingcheng and the others? Why do they use pseudonyms? Wait, when did you develop the illusion that they used their real names when they were with you? Besides Fang Ming being Fang Ming, could it be that he is really Miao Lingzi and she is really Mu Qingcheng?"

"There's definitely something fishy about their origins. They're wandering around aimlessly, and with Miao Lingzi's strength, he's actually hiding in Jiulian City. Hehe."

"On the contrary, Tong Ren and Chu Youmeng only want the position of city lord. Are they friends with me because of my strength? Miao Lingzi should be enough. He is an innate master. No, not an ordinary innate. That aura is more terrifying the more I think about it."

"And Bian Suxin, is this girl really a kind-hearted doctor? She looks simple, but is it because my heart is too dirty that I see no one as clean?"

"What kind of power is behind the Seven Swordsmen? A small Nine-Link City, if you count me in, haha, interesting, interesting."
