Zuo Lu raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice slightly.
"I heard that you were also grounded?"
The word 'also' is used very cleverly.
After the bonfire party that day, Zuo Lu was banned from home by the family elders because of this incident.
Only large gatherings like today can be considered valid reasons to go out.
As a result, when she saw Hei Ao being so honest today, she had a hunch that this guy, like herself, should be grounded.
After all, they experienced the bonfire event together and participated in matters related to Juemen. Regardless of the Hei family or the Zuo family, their attitudes towards Juemen should be similar.
Juemen is not a trivial matter, enough to attract the attention of the five major families, so naturally it is impossible to let juniors like them do whatever they want to avoid getting into trouble.
But Juemen had an affair with the Bonfire Club, and the Bonfire Club was involved in the war between the Lin family and the Li family. There was something wrong with Juemen and what others did with Juemen.
Although he was banned, he was still well-informed.
Zuo Lu's trust in the Jue Sect is decreasing, and the pure sect that is rumored to be fighting to the death with demons doesn't seem to be very pure either.
Sure enough, nothing is better than hearing it a hundred times.
Today the Juemen can disturb the Lin family and the Li family, but tomorrow they might come to stir up trouble with the Zuo family.
It's a pity that the elders in the family are obviously not wary of Juemen, and they still have the stereotype that Juemen is just a special sect that is incompatible with monsters and monsters, and is indifferent to other things.
The elders must be made aware that there is a problem with Juemen and they must investigate!
Zuo Lu is a child of the Zuo family, so she naturally thinks about the overall interests of the Zuo family.
But she didn't know what Hei Ao was thinking.
If Hei Ao thinks the same way, the two of them might be able to join forces and find a way to secretly investigate the matter. It just so happens that there is Diao Deyi outside as a helping hand, and the two of them can cover thousands of miles without going out.
But at this moment, Hei Ao didn't seem to want to talk to her.
Looking away from Zuo Lu, Hei Ao actually closed his eyes.
"What is the grounding? I don't understand what you are talking about. These days, I have been practicing hard at home and am too lazy to go out."
What kind of face do you have at this time? ?
Zuo Lu glanced around and saw a group of people muttering to the two of them, which was annoying.
On top of that, she heard some outrageous mutterings.
"That is the daughter of the Zuo family, Miss Zuo Lu, she is so beautiful!"
"When did Miss Zuo Lu get involved with Brother Hei Ao? The relationship between the Zuo family and the Hei family seems to be average. They don't have much contact on weekdays."
"What do you know! It's your turn to judge someone else's talents and beauty? I often hear elders say, don't look at things from the surface. The two of them are so close today, doesn't it mean that the Hei family and the Zuo family intend to join forces? Marriage is just the beginning of breaking the ice!"
Just a little interaction would lead to malicious speculation.
Both of them are influential figures and are the center of attention wherever they go, so naturally they cannot avoid this kind of discussion.
Frowning, Zuo Lu opened his mouth and tapped lightly on the table.
"It's too late to start chasing now. That guy must have hidden his strength that night and didn't use all his strength."
The tabletop had some strange lines like ripples. Hei Ao's palm placed on the tabletop immediately felt a friction sound, as if someone had written something on his palm.
With a flick of the brush, Hei Ao opened his eyes.
"Know your shame and then be brave. Our talents are far superior to that guy's. Once we settle down, we will definitely be able to equal or surpass him."
With that said, Hei Ao stood up, crossed Zuo Lu, and walked out.
"Besides, I'm not interested in what you're talking about."
It is different from the little material Zuo Lu got.
At the bonfire party, Hei Ao got the blood of the Black Phoenix from Fang Yu.
Now he is studying how to control this power and increase his own strength every minute and second.
It can be said that if he encounters that night again and is besieged by many demons, as long as he unleashes the power of the black phoenix blood, he can face the enemy alone without Fang Yu's assistance!
This is the Hei family's domineering technique, combined with the terrifying increase in strength of the Black Phoenix Blood.
Today is different from the past. He has reached a higher level, and is still rising. The powerful blood power of the black phoenix blood replenishes his body, and also allows his cultivation progress to reach a higher level.
It can be said that after returning from the bonfire party, Hei Ao has entered a period of rapid growth in strength, and now, it is still growing!
Although he felt a bit grounded by the elders in the family, he himself was indeed practicing hard. Even if he was not grounded, he would not go out.
What's more, the stay-at-home order at home is a soft order. If he really wants to go out, few people at home can stop him.
Unlike Zuo Lu, Hei Ao is the third son of the Hei family, and his status in the Hei family is completely different from Zuo Lu's status in the Zuo family.
Hei Ao was favored by thousands of people in the Hei family, while Zuo Lu stood out among the many children of the Zuo family at most because of his talent in the art of leftism.
"Hei Ao!"
Seeing that Hei Ao was about to leave, Zuo Lu subconsciously reached out and grabbed his wrist.
It's okay if he doesn't catch him, but when he catches him, the people around him scream out in surprise.
"She, she's caught!"
"It's broken! Brother Hei Ao is going berserk!"
"Today, I'm afraid Jiu Niang Tower will see blood!"
"The elders in the clan are on the upper floors of the restaurant, so even Hei Ao wouldn't dare to cause trouble..."
"Do you know what you are talking about? That is the third son of the Black family!"
Those present were all children of the five major families, and no one knew what a violent temper the famous Hei Ao was.
That guy was quite disgusted with this kind of skin-to-skin contact.
Unless he is willing, if others dare to touch him like this, it will be like triggering his reverse scale. It is self-evident what the consequences will be.
Even on this occasion, if the target is a woman like Zuo Lu, no one has any doubt that Hei Ao will take action!
Hei Ao from the Hei family, Zuo Lu from the Zuo family, both of them are influential figures, but they have never had a fight. Who is stronger and who is weaker may be decided today!
Under the gaze of everyone, Hei Ao stopped, but Zuo Lu still held his wrist and had no intention of letting go.
This is the most direct provocation!
Everyone held their breath, feeling that a storm was coming and a battle was inevitable.
But in the next moment, Hei Ao's actions shocked everyone present!
Hei Ao slowly stretched out his other hand, put it on Zuo Lu's hand, and slapped it away.
The whole process was very calm and peaceful, with no sign of anger at all, just a slight frown on the brow.
"You know I don't like people touching me."
That is Zuo Lu, we have shared life and death together and fought side by side.
If anyone else dared to touch him like this, Hei Ao would have already turned against him.
"What's going on?! The sun is coming out in the west?"
"...That woman Zuo Lu is not simple, she can really capture the heart of Brother Hei Ao!"
Everyone's eyes almost popped out.
But this time, no one dared to speak out.
If it had been anyone else, if Hei Ao had his palm slapped away, he probably wouldn't have dared to do it again.
But Zuo Lu had no intention of giving in and looked directly at Hei Aodao.
"I need your help."
Hei Ao hesitated for a moment, thinking of their friendship, and finally nodded.
"...Okay, then tomorrow, I will go to Zuo's house to meet you."
"The Zuo family?"
Zuo Lu was stunned.
"Are you really not grounded?"
It shouldn't be, everyone has come into contact with the secret behind the bonfire party, there is no reason that I am the only one who should be punished.
Zuo Lu was a little depressed and pouted slightly, which was quite cute.
Among the three, Hei Ao and Zuo Lu were under the control of their families, while Fang Yu was independent and naturally not punished.
As a result, Hei Ao, who had the same background as him, had nothing to do with him after he returned, but he was grounded and punished by his family. What a big deal.
Zuo Lu felt a little unbalanced.
Hei Ao was too lazy to care about her. Hei Ao was just sitting there to relax. Now that Zuo Lu is making such a fuss, there must be a lot of people secretly reconsidering and pointing fingers, so it is better to leave.
But when he went down to the fifth floor of the Jiu Niang Building, he suddenly heard a familiar name.
"...Trash! A little patrol officer can scare you like this! What's that guy's name? Diao Deyi, right? I'll find someone to kill him tomorrow! You take the opportunity to put pressure on Qian Lone Star again and force him to She came to see me, do you know?"
"Yes Yes!"
"Brother Bai Kang, there is no need to get angry. Why bother you to kill a patrol officer? We will do it!"
"That's right, for this kind of thing, just let us younger ones do it. Killing that kind of guy will dirty the big brother's hands!"
While several people were laughing, they did not take human life into account at all, as if they had already taken Diao Deyi's life.
But they didn't notice that Hei Ao, who was coming down the corridor, suddenly stopped, turned and walked towards them.
With a snap, his palm hit the table.
He lowered his head, his hair falling, revealing a cold eye, looking around.
"Just now, who said... that I wanted to kill my brother Diao Deyi?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience was shocked!
At the same time, Zuo Lu's figure also appeared at the staircase on the fifth floor, seemingly chasing Hei Ao down.
Seeing the commotion here, I strode over.
…
a few minutes ago.
The fifth floor of Jiu Niang Building.
Shan Sichen finally waited until the guard came back.
Behind him, there were two more people.
"Master Bai Kang asked you to come up, we are here to exchange with you."
The guard didn't speak, but the new guy spoke.
Under Shan Sichen's confused eyes, the guard frowned.
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up. The person you are looking for is on the fifth floor. Don't go to the wrong place."
It's against the rules to let people in.
But if a servant inside comes out and replaces someone outside, he will not be punished as long as he is not discovered.
This is a kind of default unspoken rule, and it is also a way to increase profits as a guard.
In fact, at this kind of gathering, many powerful men from the five major families are present, and almost no one dares to cause trouble. Therefore, the guards are just for show, equivalent to a fat errand, and they can't get along even if they don't have any connections. .
Shan Sichen didn't understand the twists and turns inside, but he also knew that the guards were not easy to mess with, so he was always very polite.
After entering the Jiujiang Building, Shan Sichen lowered his head and hurried on in a muffled voice.
If someone discovered that someone else had entered the scene, the guard might just be punished, but a small person like him might be killed on the spot.
Moreover, everyone in the brewery could probably kill him with just a move of their fingers.
The most important thing is to hurry up and meet Master Bai Kang as soon as possible.
One floor, two floors, three floors...
Soon, Shan Sichen reached the fifth floor.
Only then did he dare to raise his head and scan around.
"That's... Mr. Li Wei of the Li family!"
"And Mr. Baisha from the Bai family!"
"Wait a minute! Is that Lady Lin Bei from the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall? She can only live on the fifth floor..."
Shan Sichen was shocked every time he saw someone.
Everyone here is a well-known big shot if you pull them outside.
Now they are all gathered together, it is like a feast.
The five major families that used to fight openly and secretly gathered together to maintain superficial friendship.
I just wonder if the senior officials of the Lin family and the Li family, who had just fought, are here too?
While he was thinking wildly about gossip that had nothing to do with him, Shan Sichen suddenly saw the person he was looking for. He was in front of him, surrounded by a group of people toasting him.
That sullen nose and handsome appearance with three-dimensional facial features was his new eldest brother, Master Bai Kangbai!
Shan Sichen instantly felt proud on his face.
The people who were toasting around Lord Bai Kang were not as famous as the few people just now, but they were still well-known figures among the five major families.
But at this moment, these people were all circling Master Bai Kang with their fists.
The higher Lord Bai Kang's status is, the more respect he will have when he flashes Si Chen's face!
Quickly walking over, Shan Sichen did not say anything directly, but came to Bai Kang's side and waited beside him.
After Master Bai Kang drank the wine offered to him by others, Shan Sichen took half a step forward and saluted.
"Lord Bai Kang!"
Bai Kang immediately frowned slightly, as if his interest was disturbed, and he looked a little unhappy.
Wave your hand and let the next person to toast sit back down first.
He squinted at the person next to him, and Bai Kang's face turned even darker.
"Where are the people?"
That's right, Bai Kang thought that Shan Sichen had brought Qian Guxing here, so he asked his servants to go down and replace him.
Unexpectedly, only Shan Sichen came up.
I was busy socializing at the time, so I didn’t ask much.
After all, he thought, if Shan Sichen dared to come to him at this juncture, it was probably because Qian Guxing had taken care of it and brought it to him to cheer him up.
Who would have thought that this waste would come alone and empty-handed!
When Bai Kang was angry, Shan Sichen was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
"Sir, sir, please calm down! I was about to succeed, but the woman almost gave in. But in the middle of the journey, a patrol officer suddenly appeared. He was extremely arrogant and had an extremely bad attitude. He not only fought for love and occupied the woman, but also threatened, Threatened...to take your life!"
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
"Where did this thing come from? You have no way to speak!"
After Shan Sichen finished speaking, before Bai Kang could say anything, the others at the same table had already slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily.
Shan Sichen knelt neatly without any hesitation.
"Sir! Sir Bai Kang, please calm down! This is not what the villain said, it was said by the arrogant inspector himself! He even hugged the woman and said to me, his attitude was extremely arrogant and domineering! Before the villain said what you said, Even after the name, it’s still like this! You don’t take the adults seriously at all!”
