One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 43 Drinking
Qingzhou, night market.

The surrounding vendors were shouting.

After walking out of Xu Mansion, the two walked side by side on the street.

Qingluan and Hongluan did not follow along,
Originally Qingluan and Hongluan wanted to come together, but Xu Lan asked them to stay because they had many affairs at home.

"You seem to like the pair of earrings I gave you very much."

Xu Lan looked up and saw the shining earrings in Chen Ci's ears, and couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that every time she goes out with her, she will wear these earrings.

"Well, it's beautiful."

"Well, I think it looks good too."

Hearing the words, he turned his head slightly.
Not daring to look directly into Xu Lan's eyes, a blush crept up his face under the night light.

Xu Lan said:

It made her heart a little messed up.

"Have you decided which day to leave?"

Xu Lan walked, said with a smile: "That day, I will see you off."

After a few days of getting along,

Xu Lan found that her feelings towards Chen Ci seemed to have changed.
As for what changes,
Xu Lan himself found it difficult to explain clearly.

"Seven days later."

Chen Ci said softly: "I should stay in seclusion for a period of time after returning to Beijing this time."

Now she has reached the Three Realms of Great Consummation,
It seems that it is only one step away from the Four Realms, but the whole process is likely to take several years or even longer.

"Shock the Four Realms?"

When Xu Lan heard the words, she nodded thoughtfully and said, "The day you leave, I will give you another gift."

"it is good."

Chen Ci hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse.

During this time, she gained some understanding of Xu Lan's character.
As long as it is what he believes,
No matter how others object, it is useless.

It's like he wants to give himself a gift,
Even if he said no, he would definitely send it.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Chen Ci was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "You won't be willing to stay in a place like Qingzhou, right?"

Although Qingzhou is the head of the thirteen prefectures of the Great Chu Dynasty,

But her intuition told her,

Xu Lan will definitely not be satisfied with staying in this kind of place.

"Ah."

Xu Lan didn't deny it, and continued: "Let's wait a while, when my father comes back from the capital, and I've settled things, I should leave."

"Such words are a lie."

Chen Ci remembered something Xu Lan once said,

someone told him,
Swing your sword hundreds of millions of times and travel thousands of miles, you will naturally become a swordsman.

"maybe."

Xu Lan seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "What if, after a few years, maybe I will appear in front of you as a real sword fairy."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you."

Chen Ci was also amused by these words.
There is no such thing as a swordsman in this world. They are just some stories passed down by people.

But considering Xu Lan’s talent,

She doesn't know if she can become a sword fairy, but she will definitely become a master of swordsmanship.

His talent is astonishing,

Even she didn't know what words to use to describe Xu Lan's talent.

a year?
two years?

Or three years?

The name of sword cultivator Xu Lan will resound throughout the Great Chu Dynasty.

"Come on, I'll buy you a drink."

As they walked, Xu Lan found that the two of them had arrived at a well-known scenic spot in Qingzhou, Jinghu Lake.

drink
Chen Ci blushed when he heard these two words,

She recalled the experience the two had in the wild that night.

"There are a few farmers on the edge of Jinghu Lake that are quite famous for their fruit wine. It is said that many young ladies in the city appear here from time to time."

He pointed to some stalls by the lake, and said with a smile, "You shouldn't even get drunk with fruit wine, right?"

"Of course not."

When Chen Ci heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly defended himself: "I have a good drinking capacity."

"Yeah"

Xu Lan didn't refute, just looked at her with a smile.

"The last time was just an accident."

Being stared at so directly by Xu Lan,

The blushing Chen Ci wished he could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

"Yes, I believe you."

Xu Lan suppressed her smile and did not criticize Chen's remarks.

Then he took Chen Ci to one of the stalls and bought a few bottles of fruit wine, then looked around to find a suitable place to drink.

But there are too many people in Jinghu Lake.
Looking up, not only the lake was full of people, but there were also many boats in the lake.

At this time, Xu Lan noticed the tens of meters high tower in the center of Jinghu Lake, and suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart.

"Come on, take you to a good place to drink."

After saying this, Xu Lan turned around and stepped into the mirror lake. This scene caused many others to exclaim in surprise, thinking that someone was having trouble thinking about it.

In the next moment, Xu Lan's true energy was transferred, making him walk on the mirror lake like a flat ground, and ripples rippled wherever the soles of his feet went.

Chen Ci was taken aback for a moment, but then followed closely.

With their cultivation level, walking on the water is as simple as drinking water.
I saw Xu Lan easily came to the center of Jinghu Lake, and then used his strength to jump up the tens of meters high tower.

"This is a good place to drink, right?"

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci who was coming and said with a smile, and at the same time threw the bottle of wine in his hand to her.

At a height of tens of meters, far away from the noisy crowds on the ground, there was only the night wind blowing gently in my ears, and the bright moon seemed to be within easy reach when I looked up.

"It's really a good place to drink."

Chen Ci's eyes lit up, and when he opened the wine bottle, a strong aroma of wine mixed with fruity aroma hit his nostrils.

"Standing here can overlook the whole Qingzhou."

Xu Lan directly lifted the jug and drank it all in one gulp.

This kind of fruit wine tastes good, but for Xu Lan, drinking it is no different from drinking fruit juice.

But at this time,
Xu Lan put down the wine bottle in his hand,
His eyes fell on the southwest direction and he looked at it intently for a moment and then frowned slightly, as if he saw something.

"what happened?"

Sensing the change in Xu Lan's expression, Chen Ci took a sip of the fruit wine and asked.

It was pitch black all around. Looking up, there were only vaguely visible red lanterns. What else could Xu Lan see?
Although practitioners have excellent five senses, they are not clairvoyant.

"Nothing, I saw something interesting."

Xu Lan's expression remained the same, but he turned his gaze to the southeast, stretching out his fingers as if trying to figure something out.

How could someone set up such a large killing array in Qingzhou?

A look of surprise flashed across his face, but Chen Ci beside him didn't notice it.

"Do me a favor tomorrow."

Xu Lan said calmly: "I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow night."

"Yes you can."

Chen Ci smiled slightly: "However, can you add some appetizers?"

"Haha, of course you can."

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci who was already blushing a little, and couldn't help but feel secretly amused.

If you insist on drinking even though you know you can't drink much, is this considered a human waste and addiction?

"Tomorrow, help me go to the yamen and ask if there have been large-scale construction projects in the southwest and southeast of Qingzhou recently. Besides, have there been applications for demolition of some buildings in the south and north?"
