Chapter 260
Ma Rulong thought to himself: What is real is fake, and what is fake is real.
He wanted to hide it from the Dragon God Sect for the time being, but what did he do wrong? How could they see through it?
However, on second thought, he thought that Ying Fei might be testing him. If he was guilty, he would naturally be seen through by Ying Fei.
So, Ma Rulong smiled and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. My children and grandchildren have their own fortune. I am old and can't care so much. I just hope that I can safely go through the last part of my life. How can I have too much extravagant hope?"
Ying Fei said again, "We came in a hurry and didn't know that today is your birthday. Sorry for our rudeness. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a commotion."
Ma Rulong quickly waved his hand and said, "Lord Ying, you are too polite. You and Lord Qin are my honored guests. Since you can come, it is my honor. There is no need to talk about gifts.
Please come in and drink some tea to wash away the dust. Later, you can also drink a cup of my turbid wine. "
Then, he personally invited the two into the mansion. Ying Fei didn't dare to make a decision. Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "Then I will nag you."
Then, she gave the reins to Zhang Xiaohua and went in first. Ying Fei saw this and also gave the reins to Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua looked at the reins in her hand and curled her lips, "How did I become someone's servant?
I am such a failure as a prisoner. "
Then, she rolled her eyes and looked around. Unfortunately, as soon as she thought about it, she immediately felt that Qin Shiyue's attention was fixed on her. She could only shrug and give up the idea of running away.
Fortunately, the Ma family was good at managing their household. Before Zhang Xiaohua said anything, a family member came forward and took the horses. There must be someone to take care of them. As for how they treated them, whether they treated them carefully or threw them aside, it was none of Zhang Xiaohua's business.
Even if they poisoned the horses, Zhang Xiaohua would be happy to see it.
Following her family's guidance, Zhang Xiaohua followed them to the reception hall. There were already many Jianghu heroes and local squires in the hall. They were all talking in groups. When Zhang Xiaohua looked around, she didn't see Qin Shiyue's gray hair. She couldn't help but feel happy. Unfortunately, before she could smile, she saw a family member coming over and smiling apologetically, "Is this little brother surnamed Ren?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Just as she was about to deny it, she immediately realized her new identity. Her smile froze on her face as she said resentfully, "Yes, I am Xiao Ren!"
That family member respectfully said, "Master Ma asked me to lead you to the inner hall. Please follow me."
Zhang Xiaohua thought, "Nonsense, how can I not go?" Then, she nodded and was too lazy to say anything.
She followed the family member to the inner hall. It was a quiet small hall. Ma Rulong was drinking tea with two people. Qin Shiyue looked up and saw Zhang Xiaohua walking in. She didn't say anything. Ying Fei smiled and said, "Xiao Ren, come and have some tea."
Looking at Ying Fei's ugly face, Zhang Xiaohua had the impulse to rush up and push him to the ground. She wanted to stomp on him so that he would never be able to turn over.
Ma Rulong also smiled and said, "Little brother Ren, come and taste my Pu 'er tea. The taste is very good."
Zhang Xiaohua suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, Master Ma, I have seen this Pu 'er tea in books before. I have never had the chance to taste it. Today, I will try it."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's bitter face suddenly turn into joy, Ying Fei almost thought that this fellow was stupid. Thus, he was also stunned. Only when Zhang Xiaohua tasted the magenta tea did Ying Fei realize that this fellow dared to play with him. Tonight, he would be in trouble.
Ma Rulong accompanied for a while and said apologetically, "Master Qin, Envoy Ying, please wait here for a while. I still have guests to entertain. I will be back soon."
Qin Shiyue said, "Go, today is your birthday. There will be many guests. If you take care of everything, it will be difficult. Take care of as many as you can."
Ma Rulong's heart skipped a beat. He laughed dryly and quickly left.
After Ma Rulong left, Ying Fei shouted, "Master Qin, this Ma Rulong obviously has a problem. He can't be explained clearly to the Righteous Alliance. What do you think we should do?"
Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious. The master has not even said anything and you are already worrying for him. Don't be anxious, let's walk slowly. Since we have already met Qiu Xidao, I think Old Ma will have a choice."
When Ying Fei heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something but did not dare to. He could only sit on the chair patiently and look at the door anxiously from time to time. Qin Shiyue had a confident look on her face and closed her eyes to rest.
Zhang Xiaohua took out a vitality stone from her chest and drank the tea while absorbing the vitality. She was waiting for a good show to start.
What else could it be!
After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Ma Rulong wiped his sweat and walked into the inner hall. He smiled apologetically and said, "Master Qin, Envoy Ying, I am really negligent. There are so many guests today. This old man did not prepare enough banquet. Please wait a moment and let them set up the banquet here."
Ying Fei was about to speak when Qin Shiyue spoke first. She said, "Ma Rulong, this lord did not come today just to celebrate your birthday. You must have already received the message I sent you earlier. Let's do the proper business before the banquet starts. Only after the business is done will this lord be in a good mood to drink."
Ma Rulong smiled and said, "Master Qin is in such a hurry?
Let's wait until we eat and rest. "
Qin Shiyue also smiled and said, "Doing things for the sect leader is more important than anything else. Let me take the things steadily first. Only then will I have a good mood."
Ma Rulong thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Then please wait for a moment. This old man will be back soon."
Not long after, Ma Rulong came in with a tray covered with a silk scarf. He handed it to Qin Shiyue and said with some embarrassment, "Since I received the message from the sect, this old man has been trying his best to find it. This is all I could find. I wanted to ask my relatives and friends to find some more during the banquet, but lord came early. I can only let lord down."
Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's good that you did your best. This is enough."
As he spoke, he lifted the silk scarf on the tray.
Seeing the things on the tray, Qin Shiyue was shocked. She pointed at the things on the tray and said, "Old Man Ma, this, this is what you were trying your best to find?"
Zhang Xiaohua who was tasting tea was also curious. When she looked around, there were only three to five old jade articles on the tray. Compared to Zhang Xiaohua's offering, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Zhang Xiaohua did not need to use her spiritual sense to identify it. It was probably just for show. Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ma Rulong in confusion. She did not know what he was selling.
Facing Qin Shiyue's accusation, Ma Rulong said with a stern expression, "Master Qin, this is the ancient item that this old man found according to the message. Didn't I tell you just now that I only found this little? If you were a bit later, perhaps this old man could ask my relatives and friends to find some more. However, since you are here now, this is all I can do."
Ying Fei said angrily, "Old Man Ma, you dare to brush us off?"
Ma Rulong cupped his hands and said, "Envoy Ying is too serious. How could this old man dare?
Didn't Master Qin just say that it was fine as long as I did my best? This old man has indeed done his best. "
"You, you!" Ying Fei was truly angered. He pointed at Ma Rulong, not knowing what to say.
Qin Shiyue was no longer shocked. She looked at Ma Rulong with a smile.
At this time, a voice rang out, "I have long heard that the Dragon God Sect bullies the weak and snatches away people's treasures. Now that I have seen it, it truly lives up to its reputation. Even an old man who is almost seventy years old is being bullied and squeezed. It truly is the demonic sect of the pugilistic world!
Even Garuda's disciple dares to act so recklessly. What can I do! "
When everyone looked up, it was Qiu Xidao who was holding a fan with a smile on his face. Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself, "Wasn't it enough for this guy to be humiliated just now? He actually dares to come out now!"
Qin Shiyue was not surprised by Qiu Xidao's appearance. She said with a smile, "I wonder if this little brother is Ma Rulong's grandson-in-law, Qiu Xidao, or Heaven Dao Alliance's vice alliance master, Nan Fengyun's disciple, Qiu Xidao?"
Qiu Xidao said with a smile, "What's the difference?
Both sides are Qiu Xidao and I, your little master. "
Qin Shiyue's smile grew wider. She ignored Qiu Xidao and turned to look at Ma Rulong, "Old man Ma, it seems like you have made your choice?"
Ma Rulong's expression changed slightly. He took a step back and did not speak.
Qiu Xidao saw this and took a few steps forward, "You only know how to bully the old. The demonic sect's methods are indeed extraordinary."
Ying Fei said angrily, "How can a child like you interrupt when adults are talking?
Let me ask you, can you represent your Righteous Alliance? "
Qiu Xidao cupped his hands and said, "I came to the Ma Mansion on the orders of my master. Naturally, I can represent."
Ying Fei said again, "Since you know that we are from the demonic sect and that the demonic sect is incompatible with the Righteous Alliance, you actually dare to stand in front of us so generously. Your courage is not ordinary."
Qiu Xidao said with a smile, "I heard that the demonic sect's hands are bloody and ruthless. How come you only know how to talk?
What a joke. "
Ying Fei said angrily, "Good, good. Then let me weigh your weight."
After saying this, he took a big step forward and reached out to grab Qiu Xidao's throat. There was no doubt that if he grabbed Qiu Xidao's throat, it would be crushed.
Qiu Xidao used words to provoke him. Naturally, he was prepared. He raised his hand and punched towards Ying Fei's finger. Ying Fei did not stop. He only changed his grip into a palm. In an instant, the two's fist and palm collided. With a "peng" sound, the two had exchanged a move. Ying Fei took a step back while Qiu Xidao took a few steps back. He was almost forced to the door.
Qiu Xidao did not move forward. He only shouted, "Go."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the inner hall. Ma Rulong also followed closely behind.
Ying Fei shouted, "Where are you going?"
He was about to chase out of the inner hall when a sudden change occurred.
