Chapter 574
Drowning Sorrows in Alcohol
"Oh? How many senior brothers do you have?"
Ning Qi became curious.
I had no idea how many senior brothers she had just heard her talk to Wang Zhengqian.
"There are three in total. The eldest brother is Xu Haoran, the second brother is Liu Baifeng, and the third brother is Xu Wenlong."
"The one you met is the third senior brother. One of the other two has gone out to gain experience."
"The rest is my second senior brother. He likes to drink and relax, and he usually hangs out in the nearby towns."
Xu Qingqiu said with a smile.
"Oh? So you want me to meet your senior brother."
Ning Qi had already understood her intention.
"Yes, otherwise no one will come with us, and the two of us won't be enough."
"Once we get there, we'll need a lot of people to move around easily."
Xu Qingqiu then said, "Let's go."
"it is good!"
Ning Qi agreed, and then left with her.
Just as they arrived at the mountain gate, they saw a familiar face.
It was Gao Yunze.
"Junior Sister!"
After he saw Xu Qingqiu from afar, he rushed over excitedly.
"Who's your junior sister? We're not master and disciple."
Xu Qingqiu showed disgust upon seeing him.
However, out of consideration for face, they did not directly turn against each other.
"We're from the same sect, how can we not be fellow disciples?"
"Our masters are all disciples of the sect leader."
Gao Yunze smiled and began to defend himself.
"Ning Qi, let's go."
Xu Qingqiu ignored him and instead waved to Ning Qi, ready to leave with him.
"it is good."
Ning Qi didn't waste any words and immediately agreed, then left with her.
We're getting ready to go down the mountain.
"Wait a minute."
Upon seeing this, Gao Yunze immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Xu Qingqiu immediately became displeased and stared at him with her eyes.
"Who is this person, and why is he allowed to wander around our Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
"Did you report this to our Enforcement Hall?"
Gao Yunze glanced at Ning Qi and said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister, have you forgotten our rules?"
"Rules are for ordinary people. I am my master's personal disciple. I can bring whomever I want. Is it any of your business?"
Xu Qingqiu glared at him and then said, "Put away your official airs and go play with people you don't know. Don't try to show off your power here."
"Junior sister, don't forget our promise."
Gao Yunze glanced at Ning Qi, then turned his gaze to Xu Qingqiu: "We are engaged."
"Gao Yunze, get this straight, that was just a joke our master made after drinking."
"You can forget about me marrying you, not even in your next life."
Xu Qingqiu immediately became displeased. After glaring at him, she waved to Ning Qi and said, "Let's go."
"it is good!"
Ning Qi gave a casual reply and then left with her.
After the two descended the mountain, Ning Qi smiled and said, "It seems Miss Xu is quite charming in the Myriad Swords Sect."
"There are still people who are so crazy about pursuing him."
"Don't mention him anymore, he's giving me a terrible headache."
Xu Qingqiu shook her head, a helpless look on her face: "If I had the chance, I would rather never see him again."
"You can't say that. This kind of person still has value and can be put to good use."
Ning Qi said with a smile, jokingly.
"Then you can use it, but I dare not. It's like a leech; if you get it on you, you'll be in trouble."
Xu Qingqiu quickly shook her head, revealing a helpless expression: "If you had met him earlier, you would have known how difficult he is to deal with."
Are we going to keep going down the mountain from here?
Ning Qi had lost interest in this person.
Looking at the mountain path ahead of them, he asked with a smile.
There's still a stretch of road leading down the mountain, but it's all scenic and beautiful.
It's a good place to relax and unwind.
"Yes, the distance is very short, so we don't need to teleport."
Xu Qingqiu also came to her senses, and then led Ning Qi to continue walking down the mountain.
After they all went down the mountain, they didn't realize that there were still a few people following them.
Gao Yunze was one of them.
They didn't pay any attention and headed straight down the mountain.
The two soon arrived at the outskirts of a small town.
"It's quite lively."
Ning Qi glanced at it and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
The town here looks much larger than the average town.
There are still many monks here.
"These towns were built for the disciples of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
“We usually have a great need for resources. When they come here to do business with us, it makes things convenient for us, and they can also make a profit.”
Xu Qingqiu explained to Ning Qi, "There are even other businessmen from the lower realms among them."
"Oh? So you'll go anywhere just to earn some spirit stones."
Ning Qi nodded and looked at the people and town in front of him: "So, this place does have some value after all."
"Of course, this is the closest lower realm to District Fourteen."
“We could enter the fourteenth area at any time.”
Xu Qingqiu said seriously, "As long as one more person with the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal comes from one of our three sects, or our sect leader breaks through to the strength of a Golden Immortal directly."
"Then we are qualified."
"You mean if I'm the first person in my True Martial Spirit Realm to reach the Golden Immortal level, wouldn't we enter the Fourteenth Region before you?"
Upon hearing her words, Ning Qi immediately thought of a question.
"Yes, that's right, but this step is very difficult."
"Without absolute strength, it's impossible!"
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi: "You're at the level of a Celestial Immortal now?"
Ning Qi's question just now actually reminded her.
She had no idea of Ning Qi's true strength until now.
It was his words that piqued her curiosity.
They wanted to see just how strong Ning Qi really was.
"Yes."
Ning Qi made no attempt to hide this, after all, they were heading to the Boundary Sea battlefield.
Once he gets there, he will definitely demonstrate his abilities.
"You're actually at the Celestial Immortal level? I remember seeing you fight before, but you were only at the peak of the True Immortal level."
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi in surprise.
Her pretty face was filled with disbelief.
"Yes, later I received Di Xi's inheritance and that's how I broke through."
Ning Qi shrugged.
The details were omitted, and it was not mentioned that this was entirely achieved through his own efforts.
"No wonder my master was so angry, I see."
"If they get their hands on it, our Myriad Swords Sect will likely have another expert with the strength of a Celestial Immortal."
Upon hearing his words, Xu Qingqiu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
I never imagined that a single inheritance could allow someone to directly break through to the level of a Celestial Immortal.
"Oh? Then your master must hate me?"
Ning Qi made a joke.
"No, he doesn't even know who you are."
Xu Qingqiu chuckled, "I won't let him know, otherwise I'll cause you more trouble."
"Then I should thank you!"
Ning Qi smiled and then looked ahead.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived in the small town.
The streets here are bustling with people, making it exceptionally lively.
“My senior brother should be at Deshunlou. Let’s go.”
Xu Qingqiu glanced ahead and then led Ning Qi further inside.
Ning Qi didn't say anything, but followed closely behind.
The two soon arrived at the entrance of a restaurant, where all the waiters recognized Xu Qingqiu.
"Immortal, are you here to see your senior brother?"
The waiter looked at Xu Qingqiu with a smile, and then took the initiative to lead the way.
“I knew he was here.” Xu Qingqiu walked with the waiter, and called Ning Qi to follow.
Ning Qi followed her upstairs.
After the two went upstairs, they stopped in front of a private room.
"Immortal, your junior sister has arrived."
The waiter arrived at the door and greeted him respectfully.
"Oh? Junior sister is here."
Soon, a soft exclamation came from the private room: "Come in quickly."
A young man soon came to open the door.
Ning Qi also looked over.
This is a young man who looks rather thin, and he gives off a very frail feeling.
However, the shrewd glint in his eyes told him that this person was not someone to be trifled with.
A chilling aura still emanated from his body, which he had clearly tried his best to suppress.
This shows that he is also a master.
"Senior brother, let me introduce you. This is Ning Qi, whom I've mentioned to you before. He came to visit me!"
Xu Qingqiu took the initiative to introduce him: "Ning Qi, this is my senior brother."
"Senior Brother Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Ning Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"So it's Young Master Ning. I've heard so much about you before."
Liu Baifeng smiled and pointed to the stool: "Sit down quickly."
Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu sat down together.
"Hey buddy, bring us a few more plates of good food and wine!"
Liu Baifeng called out to the door again.
"Ok."
After the man agreed, he left immediately.
"Junior sister, you've come to see your senior brother. What can I do for you?"
After Liu Baifeng sat down, he poured wine for the two of them.
Then Rou asked with interest.
"Yes, senior brother."
Xu Qingqiu didn't mince words and said directly, "We want to go to the Boundary Sea Battlefield, but we don't have enough manpower, so we would like to ask our senior brother for help and ask him to come with us."
“This way, Master will be at ease, and we can also look for opportunities.”
"Oh? Junior sister, why did you suddenly decide to go to a place like this?"
"I remember when your senior brother asked you to go, you weren't interested at all!"
Hearing her say that, Liu Baifeng couldn't help but become curious.
"Then just tell me if you're going or not!"
Xu Qingqiu deliberately struck a pose.
"How could I refuse my junior sister's invitation?"
"Senior brother only has one junior sister, you."
Upon hearing her say that, Liu Baifeng couldn't help but smile and reply.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!"
Xu Qingqiu was delighted when he agreed.
She even thoughtfully picked up a bite of food for him, saying, "Senior brother, eat more."
"You only get to eat when you need your senior brother's help."
Liu Baifeng said irritably.
"Senior brother, you're too kind. Even if nothing's wrong, it'll still happen."
Xu Qingqiu stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Senior brother, I'm also taking Ning Qi with me!"
Only at this point did he clarify his true purpose.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing her explanation, Liu Baifeng immediately understood what was going on.
The person who is really going is probably not her, but Ning Qi, whom she has mentioned countless times.
"Senior brother, is this a convenient time?"
Ning Qi asked with a smile.
Clearly, they didn't want to put others in a difficult position.
"What's inconvenient about that?"
"As long as my junior sister can go, it doesn't matter who she brings."
"But let me make this clear: once you get there, don't cause any trouble. It's too dangerous there."
"If we are not careful, we will be wiped out."
Liu Baifeng looked at Ning Qi and said seriously, "Before you understand the situation, you must follow our arrangements."
"No problem, please arrange everything as you see fit, senior brother."
Ning Qi nodded, having already accepted his identity.
After all, he knew Xu Qingqiu, who was her senior brother, which meant he was her brother.
Ning Qi did not refute their words.
After all, what they said wasn't wrong.
"Great, that's satisfying!"
"Then let's go!"
Liu Baifeng nodded and smiled: "It's a pity, we won't have any alcohol to drink for the next few months."
"Senior brother, there will be opportunities after you go there!"
Xu Qingqiu then spoke.
"That's different. It's not like being in a tavern. The feeling is different."
"Drinking outside is a completely different matter."
Liu Baifeng shook his head, then sighed: "However, compared to going out with my junior sister, I could go years without drinking without any problem."
"My senior brother is still the best to me!"
Xu Qingqiu said, moved.
At this point, the waiters started serving the dishes.
"These are all their signature dishes, have a good taste!"
"You won't be able to eat it anymore in a month!"
Liu Baifeng took the initiative to invite the two of them to dinner.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Ning Qi picked up a piece of food and began to taste it.
"How is it? Delicious, isn't it!"
Seeing that he had taken a bite, Liu Baifeng said expectantly.
"Delicious, not bad!"
"My senior's recommendation really makes a difference!"
Ning Qi gave him plenty of face and began to praise him generously.
"Come on, let's have a drink."
Xu Qingqiu then raised his glass and invited the two of them to drink together.
"Okay, cheers!"
"..."
Ning Qi and Liu Baifeng also raised their glasses and drank together.
The three of them quickly started chatting about everything under the sun, and were having a great time.
"Senior brother, it's getting late. Are you going back or staying here?"
They finished their dinner, and Xu Qingqiu looked at the sky and asked.
"You all go back, I'll stay here."
Liu Baifeng shook his head, showing no intention of leaving.
"It's getting late!"
Xu Qingqiu still didn't give up and wanted to take him back.
"No need, junior sister!"
"You guys go back first, I'll come back to find you tomorrow."
However, Liu Baifeng had no intention of going back with him.
"Then let's go back."
Xu Qingqiu couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Senior brother, see you another day!"
Ning Qi also stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said.
"Young Master Ning, see you another day!"
Liu Baifeng also clasped his hands in a fist salute and stood up unsteadily.
I escorted them to the door.
"Senior brother, then we're really leaving."
Xu Qingqiu turned her head and glanced at him again before greeting him.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Liu Baifeng waved his hand.
He then watched the two leave.
After they went downstairs, Ning Qi looked curious: "Has your senior brother been through something? Is he drowning his sorrows in alcohol all the time?" (End of Chapter)
