C840 Drink to Your Heart's Content!
Suddenly, Ye Zhu's mouth moved again. Ye Bufan was shocked. Meng? Mei really did not lie. Ye Zhu really knew Meng's whereabouts. Ye Bufan gritted his teeth. This was related to Meng and her sister's whereabouts. Even if there was an inescapable net in the back hall, the one in front of him could only jump down with his eyes closed.
"What's wrong?" Although the new city lord appeared to be a hospitable person, when he saw that Ye Bufan was still standing there without any intention of going in, his expression instantly turned cold, and his tone became stiff. It was easy to tell that he was angry.
Ye Bufan forced a smile and said softly, "Alright, let's go in."
Ye Zhu nodded. The new city lord regained his happy expression and the three of them walked into the back hall.
The decoration was luxurious. It was obviously a few levels better than before. The new city lord sat in the main seat while Ye Zhu and Ye Bufan sat on both sides. At this time, three delicate and pretty maids served tea that emitted a faint fragrance.
Wait! After the maids left, the new city lord suddenly burst into laughter. He said to Ye Bufan, "Haha, I've always wanted to invite you to our manor. Who knew that you have already left the area that I am in charge of? Luckily, Ye Zhu knows where you are. I have no choice but to ask Ye Zhu to invite you here. "
Ye Zhu smiled and narrowed his eyes. He said softly, "I'm sorry. In order to get you here, I asked Mei to pretend to be hurt. That's why I tricked you over.
"Ye Bufan was furious. It turned out to be a scam. Just as he was about to stand up and question Ye Zhu, Ye Zhu's mouth suddenly moved again. Although he didn't make any sound, Ye Bufan instantly understood what he meant.
Meng!
Ye Bufan suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Ye Zhu coldly as if he was looking at a dead man. Ye Zhu's smile did not fade. He said loudly, Ye Zhu!" Ye Bufan, please don't misunderstand me. This is also a helpless action of mine. If I could think of another way, I wouldn't be so troubled by using this scam. "Think about it carefully. What benefits do I get by lying to you? If it wasn't for a reason, I would have risked my anger by staying up all night reading books. Mei should have vaguely explained my true purpose to you. As long as you think about it carefully, you should understand." Ye Zhu continued.
Ye Bufan looked at Ye Zhu in surprise. What Ye Zhu said was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There was a hidden meaning in his words, as if he was trying to express something. Unfortunately, Ye Bufan couldn't figure it out even though he didn't get any hints.
"En, I can understand." Ye Bufan decided to stay put for the time being and see what Ye Zhu was up to. Then, he would act according to the situation.
The new city lord obviously did not notice the profoundness in Ye Zhu's words. He laughed and said, "Ye Bufan, I heard that you are the guest of the previous city lord. I don't know if you are interested in working for him, but I can give him to you if he can. Furthermore, it's double the price. How about it? Are you interested? "
"City Lord, I'm sorry. I have some important matters to attend to recently. I can't promise you for the time being, but after I'm done with my matters... I'll definitely pay you a visit personally. " Ye Bufan shook his head. He neither refused nor agreed. Instead, he found a random excuse and gave it a perfunctory answer.
The new city lord wasn't angry. Instead, he said happily, "No problem. The gate of City Lord's Mansion will always be open for you. Also, don't call me city lord anymore. Just call me by my name, Tiger Roar, or Big Brother Tiger."
Ye Bufan looked at Tiger Roar seriously. He was a little uncertain about the new city lord's temper. On the surface, it seemed like Tiger Roar was a forthright and forthright person. He didn't seem to have any schemes when he spoke. However, Ye Bufan didn't dare to think so, because he could become the city lord of a region in the Imperial City. If he didn't have any schemes and means, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position.
"Hehe, I believe Ye Bufan will understand how wonderful it is to join the City Lord's Mansion. Under the protection of the City Lord, he will definitely obtain endless benefits. Like me, ever since I joined the City Lord's Mansion, everything has been smooth sailing. All the previous problems have been solved, so Ye Bufan, you have to consider carefully... "
Ye Zhu paused for a moment and continued, "You have to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Don't make a decision based on your own feelings. You have to look at me more. You can only make the most correct decision when you see me now."
Wait!
His words seemed to be hinting... to look at me more? Ye Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and he inadvertently looked at Ye Zhu. Ye Zhu's mouth moved quickly, as if he was afraid that the tiger would hear the content. He didn't make any sound, but from the shape of his mouth, Ye Bufan understood what he meant.
Immediately... attack... Tiger roar!
What? Forcibly holding back the shock in his heart, Ye Bufan looked at Ye Zhu in surprise. He saw Ye Zhu smiling and nodding his head, smiling as he said, "Look at me more. Comparing pretentiousness, you will understand the meaning of my words."
Sure enough, this was what he meant. Now, Ye Bufan had a sudden realization. The reason why Ye Zhu asked Ye Bufan to come wasn't just because the new city lord, Hu Hu, wanted to rope him in. The bigger reason was that Ye Zhu wanted to kill Hu Hu. This was his ultimate goal.
Hu Hu obviously didn't notice anything, and continued to chat with Ye Bufan in high spirits. However, Ye Bufan, who understood Ye Zhu's true meaning, was a little absent-minded. His answer was also incoherent. Fortunately, Ye Zhu would occasionally say something to help the situation, so Tiger Roar didn't notice anything unusual about it.
After a while, Ye Bufan's body tensed up, and he quickly put away his messy thoughts. His expression returned to its calm state, and at the same time, he reminded himself in his heart. There was going to be a fierce battle soon, and he couldn't afford to be careless if he wanted to leave City Lord's Mansion safely.
After that, his eyes were fixed on the tiger's body, and he was chatting with it. At the same time, he was paying attention to Ye Zhu's every move, waiting calmly for the attack to begin.
The conversation between the three of them continued for two to six hours, and Ye Bufan really couldn't find anything to say. He could only be a qualified listener. As for Ye Zhu and the tiger, they were like good friends that he hadn't seen for many years. There were endless words in his stomach.
If it were not for the arrival of the butler, Ye Bufan would have looked at the two of them who did not seem to have enjoyed themselves. He was really worried that they would not have talked about it until the sky turned dark.
"City Lord, the food is ready."
"Alright, you can go down first. We will go right away!" Hu Hu said lightly.
Wait. After the housekeeper left, Hu Hu stood up and said with a smile, "We have a good conversation. Why don't we have a drink and continue chatting? What do you two think?"2
Ye Bufan first looked at Ye Zhu. When he saw that Ye Zhu did not express anything, he thought to himself, This shouldn't be the time to make a move. Are we going to make a move at the table? Taking advantage of the fact that the tiger was drunk, he wanted to kill ___ with a single strike?
He wasn't sure what kind of plan Ye Zhu had made, so he kept his mouth shut. He didn't answer Hu Hu's question immediately, but waited for Ye Zhu's answer.
Ye Zhu chuckled and said, "I was thinking the same thing!"
"Alright, I will also throw caution to the wind today. I will risk my life to drink to my heart's content with the two of you." The whereabouts of Meng and her sister were in Ye Zhu's hands. Although Ye Bufan hated Ye Zhu, he even wanted to kill Ye Zhu, but at this moment, he had no choice but to act according to Ye Zhu's wishes.
The three of them talked and laughed loudly all the way until they arrived at a pavilion in the front yard. The stone table that was as smooth as a mirror was already filled with fragrant and steaming dishes. The three of them sat down in an orderly manner. Roaring Tiger Ping withdrew the maidservants that served to his left and right and personally poured wine for Ye Bufan and Ye Zhu.
"Come, let's drink this cup of wine first." Roaring Tiger laughed heartily.
"Okay!" Ye Zhu also shouted, and Ye Bufan could only helplessly agree.
Another two hours passed, and Ye Bufan drank a lot of wine. His head was dizzy, and he felt like he was drunk. If he did not remember that he had something important to do, Ye Bufan really wanted to lie down on the stone table and have a good sleep.
Ye Zhu and Tiger Roar were having a drinking match. Their expressions were normal, and there was no sign of drunkenness on their faces. Ye Bufan had some doubts about whether they were drinking or not. Otherwise, their bodies wouldn't be able to take it anymore after drinking so much.
When the wine was brought up, Ye Bufan was shocked. His drowsy mind immediately became much clearer. What kind of wine was this? It could actually make people feel extremely drunk?
It was not that Ye Bufan had never tasted the wine in Immortal Domain. To cultivators, drinking wine was like drinking water. The better the person's constitution, the more immune they would be to the side effects of the wine. No matter what, Ye Bufan had a demigod constitution now. His body's endurance should be stronger than Ye Zhu and Tiger Roar. Who would have thought that Ye Bufan would become the first person to get drunk? However, the two of them had no intention of getting drunk.
Could it be that their physiques were even stronger than the Demigod Physique?
Ye Bufan could still accept the fact that the physique of Tiger Roar was stronger, but when it came to Ye Zhu, it was a little hard to accept. Putting aside the fact that Ye Zhu was as fat as a pig, just the strength of an Early Period of Immortal Soul did not look like someone with a strong physique.
Increasing the circulation of the flame airflow in his body, it seemed to be able to evaporate the side effects of the wine in his body. Ye Bufan's mind immediately became clearer, and he took a few deep breaths. Although he looked dizzy on the surface, his mental state was much better than before.
He did not know how long the two of them would drink.
Ye Bufan had a deep suspicion in his heart. If Ye Zhu was planning to make Tiger Roar drunk, well, I'm afraid this plan is going to fail because after drinking so much, there was no trace of drunkenness on Hu Hu's face. Ye Bufan was worried that he would not knock Hu Hu down. Ye Zhu fell down first.
There was going to be a fierce battle soon. Ye Bufan did not dare to drink another mouthful of wine. He simply lied on the stone table and pretended to be drunk, using this to avoid the tiger's roar.
Sure enough, Ye Bufan's strategy was successful. The tiger's attention was shifted to Ye Zhu. Ye Zhu did not reject it, as if he was a gambler who had killed his eyes. He had fallen into a state of madness, and Hu Hu was even more so. The two of them drank one cup after another. In the end, no one knew how many cups they had drunk. They continued to drink with high fighting spirit.
At this time, Ye Bufan was about to lie down on the stone table and fall asleep. Anxiety and impatience gradually emerged in his heart. It was unknown whether Ye Zhu had forgotten about the thought of killing Tiger Roar. Or was he waiting for the right opportunity? It had been so long. At the same time, he had almost finished drinking his wine, but he had no intention of fighting.
