Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 142 Main Table Ranking
The old man debunked my identity calmly, and even went straight to the point, asking about my specific zodiac sign.

Just this sentence confuses me.

what's the situation?
Seeing that I became vigilant all of a sudden, the old man couldn't help laughing, and said don't be nervous, old man, I am also a night walker, and there are all kinds of monsters and monsters on this mountain, and none of them can do anything to you ;Our father and I are just chatting about nothing, just chatting about homework, nothing else.

Seeing his kind face, I hesitated for a moment before saying ambiguously, "Monkey."

When the old man heard it, he said monkey?This genus is quite common.

Indeed, among the most common eleven zodiac signs (except for the legendary dragon), the nightwalker with the largest base is the monkey.

After all, from the point of view of species evolution, humans are also transformed from apes. Although the evolution direction of monkey night crawlers and humans has deviated, the root cause is still the same.

It is precisely because they are similar to human beings that monkey-type night crawlers are not considered to have any powerful blood.

Of course, except for the four legendary monkeys.

It can even be said that the blood and talent of monkey night crawlers are basically at the bottom of the night crawler group.

Seeing my strange tone, the old man thought I was depressed, so he comforted me: "I am born to be useful, and there is no upper limit to my cultivation. It depends on your understanding and hard work. The more you give, the more you will gain." many……"

When the old man caught me, he took a big mouthful of chicken soup for the soul, which made me a little confused.

I didn't dare to refute, so I just nodded and said yes, yes, yes, you are right.

After such a chat, there was a lively sound of suona in the courtyard of Xiakan, and the sound of gongs and drums, but the birthday banquet was about to begin.

My God, how did time go by so fast?
I obviously want to find someone, why am I chatting with an old man for a long time here?

I was anxious and annoyed, but the old man asked, "Hey, young man, what's your name?"

I?
The old man was so enthusiastic just now, which moved me a lot. All kinds of affirmations and chicken soup for the soul made it hard for me to tell lies. After thinking about it, I replied: "My surname is Hou, you Just call me Xiaohou."

The old man laughed out loud when he heard that, Xiao Hou?Little monkey, your name is so funny.

After he said that, he took my hand and said let's go, let's go down together, you sit next to me, and we will continue chatting later.

what?
When I heard this, ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart, but as soon as I gave him my hand, I immediately felt the power in the other party's body, which was wider than rivers, lakes and seas, so I didn't even have the idea of ​​​​resisting.

This person is a master.

And it's not an ordinary master, at least as high as seven or eight floors.

I held his arm and walked down, feeling a little flustered, for fear that the old man recognized my identity and wanted to take me down to Huang Fengzhai.

But I don't know why, I always feel that this person has a high style, and he may not necessarily go with Huang Fengzhai and Lu Dajiao.

I was dragged down the slope with such apprehension, and then came to the main venue.

At this moment, more than a dozen tables of the Great Eight Immortals were almost full of people. I didn’t see Ma Yi’ao, but I saw Lao Qin, who was arranged to sit in the corner. I saw me walking over with the old man swaggeringly. Can't help but be taken aback.

He almost stood up, too surprised to speak.

In his thinking, in my current situation, the most important thing to do is to hide in a corner and not come out, just take a sneak peek.

What does it mean to appear so swaggeringly?
I saw Lao Qin staring at me, and felt very helpless.

If possible, I don't want to be like this.

But I have no choice, the old man's dry hand is like a magnet, holding my wrist tightly, making it impossible for me to break free.

In fact, I didn't dare to break free, because once I struggled, it meant that I had a guilty conscience.

In front of such a master, I have no ability to resist.

I was dragged by the old man in embarrassment, and passed through the table of the Eight Immortals, who was fully seated. Seeing that he was about to go to the main table, I hurriedly said: "You can go, a small person like me, find a side Corner seats become..."

I mean it sincerely, because when I followed the old man down, many people looked at him.

It was as if I was under the spotlight all of a sudden, without any shelter at all.

This makes me such a mixed identity, especially embarrassing.

After I finished speaking, I was about to break away from the old man's hand, but he said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, just let someone move it."

As he spoke, he led me all the way to the main table.

When I walked past the third table outside the main table, a petite woman looked at me with wide-eyed eyes, with an incredulous expression on her face.

I saw surprise, panic, and indescribable emotions in her eyes.

And the people next to her also had weird faces, as if they had eaten cockroaches raw.

I saw the outline of the man and recognized him.

She was the woman who gave orders in Huangfeng Village, and it was obvious that she recognized me.

At this moment, my mood fell to the extreme.

Because it was exposed.

However, soon, I vaguely grasped something from her terrified eyes, so I simply gave my heart away, and then stopped hesitating, but followed the old man to the main table.

At the same time, I was still looking around, but I didn't see Huang Daxian with long gray hair and blue homespun clothes.

This guy, didn't come over?

Walking to the main table, the main seat here is a rich old lady with silver hair and a kind face.

She should be the old lady of Shouxinghua this time, and there are several older and powerful old people sitting around her. The only ones who are younger are only three.

One should be Mrs. Hua's eldest son, named Hua Yong, and the other is... Lu Dajiao.

Yes, it is Lu Dajiao from Huangfengzhai.

The third person, the hunchback Feng Jingyao who was showing off his prestige just now, also sat at the main table.

And when the old man beside me came over, a group of people, including Mrs. Hua, stood up, and everyone nodded in greeting, saying, "Senior, you are here."

The old lady Hua said to the old man: "Brother Yuexiu, we were talking about you just now, why is it almost time to start the banquet, and you are nowhere to be seen, and I was worried that you are not used to my mundane affairs, so you left."

Only then did the old man let me go, and said with a smile: "Sister Hongxiu, I don't want to care about other people's affairs, but you are different. I have not forgotten the love back then."

Mrs. Hua was so happy that the creases on her face spread out from her smile, and she said to him, "Come on, sit on my right side..."

There is only one seat reserved for the entire main table.

And that position is on the right hand side of Granny Hua. Generally speaking, this position should be reserved for the most distinguished among the guests in the venue.

The old man didn't move, but patted my shoulder and said that I was up there just now, in front of your family's retreat cave, and I met Xiao Hou by chance, had a good chat with him, and liked him very much, so he pulled him over. eat and chat...

what?
This rich old man was very interesting. After speaking, he looked at the people next to him, and he refused to sit or leave. He also had a determined appearance, which surprised everyone.

At this moment, it was almost as if I was being illuminated by a spotlight, and everyone's eyes were on me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lu Dajiao's complexion was a bit ugly.

He seemed to be making eye contact with the woman at the table over there, and then his eyes narrowed all of a sudden, obviously he also knew my identity, and it was the person next to Ma Yi'ao.

But even so, he still held his breath and didn't say a word.

I knew that my identity was exposed, but at this moment, my mood suddenly became very calm.

Because things have gotten to this point, no matter how bad they are, what else can they do?

Now that things have happened, I have calmed down instead, with a smile on my face, standing neither humble nor overbearing, then I cupped my hands and said: "My lord, I have met all the seniors."

My side is calm and composed, but the rich old man is unwilling to sit or leave. The pressure is transmitted to other places without knowing it.

Several people at the main table all looked at the hunchbacked Feng Jingyao.

Well, this guy has the lowest status in this circle of people. Since the rich old man expressed his opinion that he wants me to sit at a table with him, the only way is for the lowest status person to leave voluntarily.

I broke the jar and shattered and withstood the pressure, but Feng Jingyao couldn't.

He actually recognized me, but he didn't know why, he didn't point it out, not only that, he had to stand up obediently, and said to the old man beside me: "Senior Yuexiu, please take a seat."

The old man responded with a smile, saying yes, yes, Xiao Feng is good.

He was still not satisfied with the vacant seat, so he asked someone to move, and the right side was also vacated for me.

The group of people cooperated very well, even if they were reluctant, they did not refuse. After finishing, the old man took me to the table, and then the old woman stood up, raised her glass, and said a toast in return.

Everyone toasted to each other, and after clinking glasses with our table, she just took a break and invited us to taste dishes.

The style of the banquet here is quite high, and they are all famous dishes in Sichuan. When the rich old man started to eat, he was unceremonious and continued to put food in his bowl, and even greeted me and brought me some food.

While pinching the chicken legs for me, he said, "Don't be polite, you can't get enough to eat in this kind of place."

I:"……"

I didn't know what to say, so I just lowered my head to eat, and Lu Dazuo, who was opposite me, waited for a long time, then put on a smiling face and said to me: "Little brother, what did you say just now, what is your last name?"
