The Great Seminary

Chapter 422 Lively
Humans are actually a type of omnivore, but after reaching the top of the food chain, they gradually developed civilization and learned to distinguish between 'good' and 'evil'.

When ordinary people are living comfortably, most will have some good intentions, but that's about it.

Therefore, when the glittering gold came into view, the girl who had casually advised Zhang Gui immediately brightened up and beamed with joy.

He wanted to change his attitude and tell Zhang Gui where the "People's Struggle" was registered.

Unexpectedly, another woman selling wine next to him squeezed through the crowd without any hesitation, grabbed the small gold bar on the wine counter, and smiled sweetly at Zhang Gui:
"Sir, let me show you the way. Just turn right next to our stall..."

This infuriated the young woman, who forcefully shoved the freshly made 'Crimson Cloud Ice Brew Dew' in front of the woman who had overstepped her bounds.

"Caijin'er, what do you want to do?"

"How dare you steal my little account? Are you looking for death?!"

As she spoke, a line of ice rapidly extended from under her palm, which was resting on the bar.

It 'darted' towards Cai Jin'er's fist, which was already tightly gripping the little gold tree.

It instantly froze her to the bar, and the effect continued to spread along her limbs.

In the blink of an eye, his entire arm was transformed into a pale, frozen sculpture.

Zhang Gui, who was standing nearby, was stunned when he saw that a small matter had suddenly escalated into such a conflict.

I have gained a new understanding of the fierceness of the Kunlun natives and the true state of their local society and people's livelihood.

Then, Cai Jin'er, who seemed to have been 'tamed' by the girl, answered softly and weakly.

"Bai Yueyue, it was clearly you who didn't give directions to the guests that made me speak."

He gave me detailed directions, so the small bill was naturally mine; how could that be considered 'robbery'?

The delicate skin of the frozen arm instantly transformed into the shape of thick, bird claws.

With a gentle shake, the outer ice shell was broken open.

This gave Zhang Gui a new understanding of the "fighting power" of the millions of "old natives and new immigrants" in Kunlun.

He then shouted, "It's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to make such a fuss. I'll pay the small amount later."

He took out a handful of small gold coins from his sleeve and placed them on the wine table, saying, "It's really unnecessary."

"Is this a matter of small accounts!" Bai Yueyue exclaimed in dissatisfaction upon hearing this. "This is the rule of our wine stall..." but in the end, she did not actually argue with the customer.

Cai Jin'er was even more polite, giving Zhang Gui a graceful curtsy and speaking softly:

"Thank you for your generous gift, sir."

"We were momentarily out of line and disturbed your enjoyment of drinking and merrymaking."

However, an apology is one thing.

At the same time, she casually stretched out her soft hand and pulled the pile of small gold coins that Zhang Guixin had placed beside him to her own face.

He used his palm to cut it fairly and evenly in half.
He took one half himself, and then pushed the remaining half in front of Bai Yueyue.

She smiled and said, "These are the small bills that the customer has clearly stated for us to split."

It should be half for you and half for me.

I've already put mine away; you can keep yours too.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself:
"So 'green tea' like that..."

Just then, the proprietress of the huge liquor stall, who was setting up her accounts on the other side, seemed to have noticed the 'lively' scene and walked over.

His icy expression, so cold it seemed like ice crystals were about to shatter, instantly quelled Bai Yueyue's anger. The girl involuntarily lowered her head.

Under the watchful eye of the landlady, he reluctantly recounted the whole story.

The proprietress didn't immediately judge the merits of her business, but instead told Bai Yueyue and Cai Jin'er to go to another part of the stall to serve customers.

To get through the last busy moments before lunch.

He then approached Zhang Gui and Zhen Ciyun, his expression instantly changing 180 degrees to one of beaming smiles.

He said enthusiastically, "My daughter is too young and doesn't know any better."

We apologize for neglecting our guests.

Two men, who have come from afar and possess extraordinary bearing, are eager to take part in the 'Battle of the People's Warriors'.

But were these distinguished guests who came to Kunlun because of the "Star-Pointing Gathering," a ten-year tradition of the Weaver Girl, the Great Queen?

Zhang Gui nodded in surprise, "How did the female manager guess that?"
Is the Star-Pointing Gathering so widely known and famous within the Kunlun Secret Realm?

"The Star Pointing Society has been held more than a dozen times since its inception, almost two hundred years ago, and has gained some reputation."

Weaver Girl Nixia was one of the "Great Female Rulers" born to the Queen Mother of the West, and her status was exceptionally honorable.

Since it was a grand event that He painstakingly organized, others should not take it lightly.

By the way, I heard that outside of Kunlun, the 'Star Pointing Society' is even more famous than within Kunlun itself. Is that true?

The female owner of the liquor stall gave a vague answer, and then asked a question in return, taking the initiative.

The commotion caused by the two female wine sellers had already attracted the attention of many customers.

Hearing Zhang Gui's conversation with the female boss, many curious onlookers cast their eyes.

Zhang Gui, a newcomer who came from the "human world" of the Eastern Continent to mingle in the underground world,

A month ago, even the Queen Mother of the West didn't know she had a daughter who shared the same name as the ancient goddess "Weaver Girl," let alone the potential influence of the "Star-Pointing Gathering."

Hearing this, he chuckled a few times. "Is that so? Well, as far as I know, this 'Star Point Society' is highly regarded by the young elites of those 'high-ranking sects' outside of Kunlun."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry.

This is what they mean by "the wild flowers smell better than the garden flowers," hahaha...

"That's true." The proprietress nodded with a smile.
"Therefore, even the 'Battle of the People and Warriors' in the 'Kunlun Great Battle Arena' has attracted many young and powerful individuals from other places who are preparing to make their mark and gain fame."

The young women don't care about these things, so they don't know, but we 'insiders' know that the next few days will get increasingly lively.

Seeing the way she was looking at him, increasingly like she was looking at a monkey in a zoo, Zhang Gui pursed his lips and said nothing more.

He handed a glass of 'Crimson Sunset Ice Brew Dew' to Zhen Ciyun, and they ate and drank together.

Seeing this, the proprietress smiled, turned around, and left the stall, disappearing without a trace.

Zhen Ciyun watched her disappearing figure with a hint of hesitation, then suddenly said softly:
“We are not people who were born and raised in those ancient sects and great schools in the underground cave realm.”

Many things are known only in name, not in reason; therefore, it's better to remain still than to act, otherwise, the "people's bravery" should not be undertaken.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui smiled confidently, patted his lover's hand, and ordered two large glasses of iced wine and several plates of fruit.

Just as he was continuing to enjoy his meal, the wine stall owner turned back to him with light steps.
"I wonder which kind of 'military struggle' you intend to engage in, sir?"
