When Qin Yao emptied the plates on the table, Song Yu and the others finally came to their senses.

Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen took the lady's box and looked at it again and again. They were obviously moved, but they still said rationally that they would think about it again.

Qin Yao nodded generously, "Okay, you think about it first. I'm still in Fucheng these days. If there is any news, send someone to notify me at any time. Let's discuss it in detail."

Anyway, she has recovered the balance today, and also received a new order for 5,000 magical book boxes. The basic task has been successfully completed.

As for the lady's box, there is no rush, it is still an immature semi-finished product.

It was getting late, so Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen took the lead.

Qin Yao and Song Yu later packed up the lady's box and the money contract before walking out of the private room.

The restaurant was busy at the moment, and the government examination results had not yet come out. Many students were staying in Fucheng. In order to relieve the anxiety of these candidates, Dengyun Tower set up a stage in the lobby and invited an opera troupe to sing.

The actors on the stage were singing and dancing, and the hall was full of people.

Qin Yao was not interested in all this excitement. All the good wine at the banquet went into her stomach today. She was slightly tipsy and just wanted to go back to the inn to take a good nap and sort out the accounts.

Song Yu, however, took a second look at the lobby and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Madam, the man down the hall seems to be the master." Song Yu pointed to the center of the lobby uncertainly.

Qin Yao looked in the direction he pointed, without even seeing his face clearly. When the familiar laughter floated in her ears, she was already very sure that it was Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was not at Dengyun Tower when he first arrived, so he might have just arrived not long ago.

Qin Yao looked at the people around him inquiringly. They were all young scholars in their twenties, all dressed in expensive outfits. It was obvious at a glance that they were either rich or noble.

And Liu Ji, who was wearing a white shirt, was among them, looking very poor and eye-catching.

But even though he was so poor, his outstanding face and tall and straight figure attracted the attention of almost all the women in the hall.

Even the little girl who was singing in the hall was looking straight at him as she sang the lyrics, looking affectionate and fascinated.

Sitting on the main seat, the man in a vermilion silk robe looked at the others and complimented him. Liu Ji lowered himself down and looked at the singer on the stage, and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Ji's senses were extremely sharp, but he turned a deaf ear to the man in red robe's sneer. He turned back to smile at him like a normal person, picked up the jug and poured wine for him.

"Master Ning, thank you for your treat tonight. Otherwise, I, a poor scholar from the countryside, would never have the opportunity to come to Dengyun Tower to gain experience."

Liu Ji personally picked up the wine glass and handed it to Mr. Ning, "This wine is really good, Mr. Ning, you should try it too!"

Mr. Ning leaned back slightly to avoid it, his eyes were full of disgust, and he glanced at Liu Ji teasingly, "What kind of good wine is this? If it weren't for the fact that this small place can only buy this kind of miscellaneous wine, why don't you give it to me, Mr. I don’t even bother to touch the water to quench my thirst!”

As he said that, he saw Liu Ji's smile froze and looked embarrassed, and he felt very happy in his heart. He became more interested, lost his scruples, and smiled sarcastically:

"Hahaha, this smells sour and poor, but it matches Brother Liu very well, don't you think so?!"

The people accompanying him immediately burst into laughter.

Only Liu Ji was still holding the wine glass, neither passing it forward nor retreating.

But everyone who was laughing didn't notice the raging hatred flashing in his black eyes under his embarrassed expression.

Liu Ji forced a smile, "Master Ning doesn't want to drink, then I will drink it myself. I also spent ten taels of silver. It would be a pity not to drink."

He has a completely petty attitude, trying to force himself on even though he has no knowledge.

Just seeing such a humble expression on his handsome face, Mr. Ning felt excited and trembled in his heart, so happy that he died!

He suddenly felt that it would be very good to have such a stunning follower by his side for him to humiliate and tease in the future. So what if you can worship a great Confucian as your teacher?

So what if you have a stunning face?

It's not like I want to be trampled under his feet!

Liu Ji drank a glass of wine. He seemed to be unable to bear the hot taste. He clenched his fists, lowered his head and coughed a few times.

He raised his eyes again, suddenly remembered something, looked around, and asked doubtfully: "Why hasn't Mr. Fan come yet? Mr. Ning, you and Mr. Fan are brothers. Today is such an important day as your birthday, will he not come?"

Mr. Ning was startled and waved away the people who wanted to toast him. He suddenly stood up and asked the entourage waiting at the door of the restaurant, "Is Brother Fan here?"

The attendant ran over, shook his head and reported back: "Young Master, Mr. Fan is not here yet."

Mr. Ning frowned, feeling slightly displeased.

Although this petty friend had been ignored several times before, and the two had some rifts, after all, they had been friends for many years. Today, I specially invited him to celebrate my birthday. After passing this step, he should come down, right?

"Hiss~" Liu Ji suddenly took a breath of cold air and slapped his thigh fiercely. His gesture was so vulgar that it was difficult for everyone not to notice him.

When Mr. Ning saw that his friend had not come for a long time, he remembered the little quarrel between the two of them a few days ago. Now that he saw Liu Ji like this, his face sank.

He asked coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Liu Ji stood up, clasped his fists and was about to speak, when the tips of his ears twitched, and a voice called "Ning Wuyou, I'm going to kill you!" came from far to near.

Liu Ji straightened up immediately and pointed to the door of the restaurant with a horrified look on his face, "Master Fan is over there."

Everyone turned around and their hearts suddenly jumped.

I saw a tall man with disheveled hair, wearing a blood-stained white thin coat, holding a bloody sword in his hand, suddenly appeared outside the gate of Dengyun Tower.

A pair of furious red eyes under the messy hair glanced around at everyone in the lobby, and then settled on Mr. Ning.

Without saying a word, he raised his bloody sword and rushed over!

Before Mr. Ning could react, the blood sword was already in front of him.

Others were already stunned by this scene and did not react at all.

"Ning Wuyou, you and I are sworn friends, but you betrayed me, told a lowly prostitute my secret, and made her laugh at me. I'm going to, I'm going to kill you!"

Mr. Fan struck hard and stabbed directly with his long sword.

"Poof!" There was a sound of skin piercing, and blood soaked out from Mr. Ning's chest, and quickly spread a dark red color on the red clothes.

Everyone who was stunned finally came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to support Mr. Ning, whose eyes were filled with disbelief and a look of pain on his face.

Mr. Fan thrust out his sword and seemed to have calmed down. He hurriedly loosened his grip and stepped back sharply.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ning, who was hit by the sword, suddenly exerted his strength, grabbed the wine bottle that Liu Ji had just mentioned on the table, and smashed it out with all his strength.

The position of the wine bottle is so convenient and just right.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the wine bottle shattered on Mr. Fan's head, blood fell, and there was a severe break on the crazy face.

A pair of good friends in the past looked at each other now, and their eyes were full of overwhelming hatred that wanted to kill each other! (End of chapter)
