Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
The Long-browed Realist asked Qilin, “Has my stuff arrived yet?”
“What things?”Kirin asked in return.
“Snakes!”The Long-Browed Realist said, “I’m still waiting for it to be served with wine.”
Old foodie.
Kirin mentally spat, fished out his mobile phone and made a call, then said, “It’s already here.”
“Great.”Long-browed real person said excitedly, “The chefs in Yangcheng are the best at cooking wild game, Kirin, go find some chefs, I want to eat snake meat hotpot.”
Kirin turned his gaze to Cao Yuan and asked what he meant.
“Do as senior said.”Cao Yuan smiled and said, “Before the duel, let’s have a big meal as well.”
“Yes.”
Qilin answered and immediately went to make arrangements.
In less than an hour, the snake meat hot pot was brought in, and a dozen of side dishes were also made, shiitake mushrooms, tripe, duck blood, shrimp sliders, cabbages, potatoes, yams, and radishes
Everyone ate the hot pot and drank at the same time.
After drinking a few cups of wine, Long Mei real person, poetry, loudly recited: “The world’s wind and clouds out of my generation, once into the rivers and lakes of the years to rush. The emperor’s plan to dominate the world is a laughing matter, and I can’t beat a drunken life. Sword across the horse waving ghosts rain, white bones such as mountain birds fly. Dust matter like tide people like water, only sigh jianghu several people back.”
“Gentlemen, this poem of the poor Taoist is well written, isn’t it?”
“Did you write this poem?”Ye Qiu asked.
Long Eyebrow Realist said without a red face or heartbeat, “Poor Tao just wrote it.”
Write your sister!
You think I haven’t read The Smiling Proud Wanderer? This is clearly written by Jin Yong, okay?
Shame on you.
“My poem is not bad, right?”Long eyebrow real person hehehe laughs.
“Not bad.”Ye Qiu said perfunctorily.
“I just wrote another poem.”The Long-browed Realist said, “The name of this poem is Seeking a hermit and not meeting him, I asked the boy under the pine, saying that the master went to take a shit. Forgot to bring handpaper, had to use my fingers.”
Pfft…
The Qilin threw up.
Ye Qiu glared fiercely at Long Eyebrow Realist, this old thing, not polite at all, writing such a poem while eating, isn’t it disgusting?
Unpleasant to the eyes!
Cao Yuan wasn’t interested in eating hot pot anymore, he put down his chopsticks and said, “Let’s get down to business, about tonight’s duel, this is how I’m deploying it.”
“Qinglong as the vanguard, the first to go into battle, it’s best to take out two enemies with a thunderous strike to deter the other enemies.”
“Kirin to play as a support, you’ll go on when needed.”
“As for the Long Eyebrow Realist, it’s our bottom card, don’t show your face first, and then step in at the critical moment.”
“Do you guys have any opinions?”
“I have no opinion.”Qinglong said, “I’m guessing that there are only five or six people on the other side, Kirin and I, along with the Long-browed Realist, the three of us should be able to finish them off, if we add Ye Qiu”
“Ye Qiu will not participate in the battle.”Cao Yuan said.
Surprise appeared on Qinglong and Qilin’s faces.
Cao Yuan said, “To be honest, I’m not sure about this duel tonight because I don’t know if the other side has any cards.”
“Leaving Ye Qiu behind is for the long-term development of the Dragon Sect.”
“If we lose, with Ye Qiu around, then the Dragon Sect still has hope.”
Qinglong and Qilin quietly glanced at each other.
“What about Vermillion Bird’s arrangement?”Qinglong asked.
“Vermillion Bird assists Ye Qiu.”
Hearing those words, Qinglong and Qilin understood that Cao Yuan was preparing to hand over the Dragon Sect to Ye Qiu.
“I support the Nine Thousand Years’ proposal.”The Qilin stated his position on the spot.
Qinglong, however, was silent.
At this time, Ye Qiu said, “Nine Thousand Years Old, I’m also a member of the Dragon Sect, and I want to participate in tonight’s duel, as the saying goes, one more person is one more help.”
“You can’t participate in the battle.”Cao Yuan said, “You are the hope of our Dragon Sect, if we all die, then the Dragon Sect will have to rely on you in the future.”
“But.”
Ye Qiu was still about to say something, but was interrupted by Qing Long.
“Ye Qiu, I hope you won’t fail the Nine Thousand Years, remember, we can die, but the Dragon Sect can’t be broken up.”
Ye Qiu said seriously, “I understand what you guys are saying, but I still want to live and die with you.”
“Ye Qiu, I understand your feelings and I’m touched, but you must listen to my arrangements.”
Cao Yuan continued, “I’m sure you’re clear about the situation we’re facing, the enemy has many experts, and I’m not sure about this duel.”
“Therefore, I must leave a way out for the Dragon Sect.”
“If we die, then the Dragon Sect’s future can only rely on you.”
“Furthermore, on your body, you are carrying more than just the future of the Dragon Sect, there is also a blood feud.”
“Don’t you want to find out the truth about that year and avenge your father?”
Ye Qiu fell silent.
Yes, he couldn’t accompany Cao Yuan and the others to take the risk yet because Ye Wushuang’s revenge hadn’t been avenged yet.
However, tonight’s duel was crucial for the Dragon Sect, and if he didn’t participate, he would feel guilty in his heart.
“Ye Qiu, just listen to the words of the Nine Thousand Years, with the Green Dragon and Senior, we have a chance of winning tonight.”Kirin advised.
Chang Mei Zhen Zhen followed, “The trigrams show great auspicious signs, we will definitely win.”
“But.”
“Don’t but, listen to my arrangement.”Cao Yuan’s voice was soft, but his tone was filled with irrefutable majesty.
“Stop bullshitting and drink.”Long Eyebrow Realist quietly passed a look to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu understood and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Time passed quietly.
In an instant, it reached eleven o’clock at night.
At this point, there was still a full hour before the duel.
The atmosphere gradually became sad, because after another hour, the duel kicked off, and no one knew whether they would live or die.
Qilin advised, “Nine Thousand Years Old, stay here and don’t go out, you don’t know martial arts anyway, you won’t be able to help if you go, and Qinglong and I will have to be distracted to take care of you.”
“How can this be!”Cao Yuan said impassionedly, “I am the Dragon Sect Sect Leader, how can I not be there at the time of the decisive battle?”
“All of you are my brothers, you have fought alongside me all these years, and in this duel tonight, I will also live and die with you.”
“If by any chance we don’t die, we’ll continue to conquer the world, if we die, then we’ll go to the netherworld to be brothers again.”
Puff-
Qinglong and Qilin knelt down in front of Cao Yuan and said in unison, “It is our good fortune to be able to live and die with the Nine Thousand Years.”
“Are you full?”Cao Yuan asked.
“Full.”The two replied.
“Have you finished drinking?”
“Drink up.”
“Since you’re full of wine and food, let’s go kill people.”Cao Yuan rose with a flourish and strutted out the door.
Qinglong and Qilin followed closely behind.
Ye Qiu chased after them and kept sending Cao Yuan outside the hotel door.
“Sending you off for a thousand miles must end with a goodbye, let’s send you here, take care of yourself.”Cao Yuan patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder and turned around resolutely.
Suddenly, a cool wind rose.
The green clothes drummed.
Cao Yuan sang as he walked away, “The wind is so strong and the water is so cold, a strong man will never return.”
