Chapter 100: Meeting of Hatred and Hate
Yue Liuli took a few quick steps and took the initiative to greet him.
He was very humble.
In addition, the rest of the people were not so arrogant as to wait inside, but gathered outside the door waiting.
This honor was certainly not given to Qi Xuansu alone, but more because of Zhang Yuelu.
The great-niece of the Heavenly Master, the younger generation favored by the Earth Master, the descendant of the True Man of Cihang, the youngest deputy hall master, the little head of the Tiangang Hall, the real future True Man of Canzhi, and even expected to compete for the eighth generation of the Great Headmaster in a few decades.
Who doesn't want to make a good relationship?
As for Qi Xuansu, it can't be said that everyone, but most people regard him as a vassal of Zhang Yuelu, commonly known as a gigolo. Although everyone didn't dare to say it out loud, they looked down on Qi Xuansu in their hearts. Isn't it just pulling a woman's skirt to climb up? What's so arrogant! If it were me, I might climb higher than you.
Some people were calm on the surface, just muttering in their hearts. Some people couldn't hold their temper, and their faces showed a little. However, except for Qi Xuansu and Yue Liuli, no one present was a fifth-rank Taoist priest. In front of Zhang Yuelu, no one dared to say anything.
To Yue Liuli's surprise, Qi Xuansu was not arrogant or cold, but smiled and said enthusiastically: "Since we parted at Shangqing Palace, how have you been recently?"
Thanks to Qi Niang's teachings, Qi Xuansu could still talk and laugh as usual even when facing his enemies. People who didn't know would think that they had a close relationship in Wanxiang Taoist Palace. However, Yue Liuli had only one idea at this time, smiling with a knife in his heart.
Yue Liuli smiled and said, "I should ask Tianyuan. Tianyuan was a person who experienced a great disaster in Jinling Prefecture and survived a near-death experience."
After that, Yue Liuli saluted Zhang Yuelu again, while Qi Xuansu and Pan Cuiqing saluted each other.
Pan Cuiqing looked at Zhang Yuelu: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang, the last time we met was in Wuxu Palace, and then there was the Purple Fairy Mountain case and the Jinling Mansion robbery, it seems like a lifetime ago."
Zhang Yuelu said indifferently: "Assistant Pan is talking about that case, I have brought the files, we can discuss it again."
Qi Xuansu said with a hint of meaning: "We have to let Old Wan close his eyes."
Yue Liuli was startled, and after feeling the strange eyes of several classmates, he immediately reacted and his face flushed.
Qi Xuansu's words were heartbreaking, implying that Wan Xiuwu died with his eyes open. When you think of Yue Liuli's ambiguous relationship with Pan Cuiqing after Wan Xiuwu's death, it is hard not to connect Wan Xiuwu's death with Yue Liuli.
Since ancient times

, gambling leads to theft, and adultery leads to murder. Murder due to adultery has never been a rare thing, whether it is conspiring with the adulterer to kill the husband, or the husband killing the adulterer and the adulteress in anger, it is everywhere.
Even Shi Yu and Mo Qingdi showed that they had realized this. Mo Qingdi even began to think about how to write this story into his own storybook.
Yue Liuli was extremely angry, but he couldn't get angry. He felt very aggrieved.
But Pan Cuiqing, after all, was the little head of the Wuxu Palace. He was very generous and shrewd, and was not moved at all: "Master Qi is right. Junior Brother Wan has not been buried yet. We must give him justice and let him rest in peace."
Taking this opportunity, Yue Liuli had adjusted his mood and said, "Today is the day for classmates to get together. Let's not talk about these things. Let's go in and talk."
Eating and etiquette are always related.
Welcome banquets, farewell wine, weddings have to be drunk, funerals also have to be eaten, and children have to have a big banquet. From birth to death, everything is inseparable from the word "eating".
People take food as their heaven, and the so-called sacrifice is actually to offer food to the gods.
After all the people arrived, it was natural to have a banquet. The banquet was set up in a flower hall. There was wind from all directions and light gauze was hung. When the wind blew, it moved gently, like smoke and fog, which was very freehand.
Although everyone had left the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, they were still young people under the age of thirty. For ordinary people, seventy is rare, and thirty years old has gone through half of life, but for people with innate talents, thirty years old is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go in the future. The title of "young people" is worthy of the name.
Everyone sat down separately, Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu, Pan Cuiqing, Yue Liuli and others were all at the middle table.
Pan Cuiqing took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Qi Xuansu as a third-grade Taoist priest. Qi Xuansu did not hold up the wine glass with both hands.
Pan Cuiqing poured himself another glass of wine and raised the glass: "I toast to Qi Zhushi."
After that, Pan Cuiqing drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at the bottom of the glass.
Qi Xuansu also drank the wine in the glass.
Pan Cuiqing then said, "Some time ago, I heard from Junior Sister Yue that she and Master Qi had a misunderstanding when they were in the Wanxiang Dao Palace."
Qi Xuansu paused, and asked knowingly, "What misunderstanding?"
Pan Cuiqing's eyes were a little gloomy, but he continued, "It was about the Dragon and Tiger Society. She didn't mean to do it at the time, but she almost made a big mistake because of a moment's thought. Fortunately, there was no danger.
(This chapter is not yet finished, please turn the page)
Master Qi is fine. She is shy and embarrassed to admit her mistake to Master Qi, so I, as her senior brother, will admit her mistake on her behalf."
After that, he filled Qi Xuansu's glass with wine again: "I hope Master Qi will be tolerant and forget the grudges with a smile. Drink this glass of wine."
Qi Xuansu picked up the wine glass, but hesitated to drink it.
Pan Cuiqing's eyes became more gloomy.
Today, anyone can see that Qi Xuansu's rise is so fast that it is shocking. It only shows one thing, that he has a backer behind him, not just Zhang Yuelu. Those who are short-sighted think that Qi Xuansu can achieve today's achievements because of Zhang Yuelu, but Pan Cuiqing, as the assistant of Wuxu Palace, knows very well that Zhang Yuelu has a promising future, but that is a matter for the future. Zhang Yuelu does not have such great power now, and even Pei Xiaolou is not enough. It must be a real big shot who speaks up.
After the catastrophe of Jinling Mansion, six of the seven investigation team plus Li Tianlan all returned to Yujing to accept Jinque questioning. Only Zhang Yuelu was an exception. It is said that the earth master personally spoke up. It can be seen that the promotion of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu is almost inevitable.
At this point, he no longer wants to worry about how Wan Xiuwu died. After all, he and Wan Xiuwu have no relatives or friends. He is just a cheap junior brother. There is no need to make enemies with a promising young man for a dead person. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. It is better for everyone to take a step back. If we can take this opportunity to turn enemies into friends, it would be great.
Qi Xuansu suddenly put down the wine glass and asked, "What if I don't drink? Will we have to tear each other's faces?"
Qi Xuansu is not a fool. Of course, he knows what Pan Cuiqing means, but he doesn't want to just expose it so easily. He is lucky not to die, but it is not because these people show mercy. Besides, Yue Liuli's confession of fault is not sincere. It is said to be a confession of fault, but it reveals a bit of condescension and a bit of pressure.
Pan Cuiqing's face changed slightly and looked straight at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was unmoved and poured a glass of wine for Zhang Yuelu beside him. In the eyes of others, gentle and considerate, just like the kind of man who is willing to stand behind a woman and be lonely.
Qi Xuansu poured wine for Zhang Yuelu, and smiled again: "What's the big deal? Since it's just a misunderstanding, there's no hatred, so why apologize. So I won't drink this glass of wine."
Pan Cuiqing's face was no longer smiling.
The food was still hot, but the atmosphere couldn't be colder.
