"This fellow Taoist, with such beautiful scenery and good wine and delicious food, why do you keep sighing here?"
Wei Yan strolled over and opened the folding fan as he spoke, looking cool and suave.
"I don't know who you are, but I'm doing this, so it won't bother you."
Although Chang Yuan was drunk, he was still vigilant as a monk and a guard captain. Although he did not believe that this person would cause chaos in the building, he was still alert.
"Fellow Taoist, don't panic. I'm here with Wei Yan, the young lord of Xianghu City. I came here hoping to taste the delicacies in the building. But listening to fellow Taoist sigh, it really... spoils the scenery."
Wei Yan said, frowning and putting away the folding fan, tapping the handle of the fan on the palm of his left hand.
When Wei Yan introduced himself, Chang Yuan naturally saw that the token hanging on his waist was made of the same material as their Dragon Tiger City Lord's Order. It was indeed the Elephant Tiger City Lord's Token.
I have long heard that Wei Teng, the lord of Xianghu City, is in seclusion and will never leave the seclusion until he enters the realm of spiritual transformation. It seemed logical that the son of the city lord, who was only in the middle stage of foundation building, began to take charge of the affairs of the city.
However, I heard that the young city lord of Xianghu City was just a playboy. Now that I saw it, the rumors were indeed true.
Wei Yan said too much, but Chang Yuan's thoughts were elsewhere. As if he didn't hear it, he stood up and clasped his fists towards Wei Yan.
"It turns out that it's Young Master Wei. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful. I'm in Changyuan, and I'm the one who protects the tower."
"It's Senior Brother Chang." Wei Yan's acting skills were quite good, and his shocked look was just right. He put away his fan and also cupped his fists towards Chang Yuan.
"Senior Brother Chang, please forgive me. I was so quick to speak that a flood of water washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Chang Yuan naturally knew that the guard tower was built by the three cities of Longhu City, Xianghu City and White Tiger City, so he did not immediately use coercion to teach the young man a lesson.
After all, it doesn't matter if you are a young city lord, in the world of cultivation, you are still judged by your cultivation.
But if he is one of the building owners who may be able to protect the building in the future, Chang Yuan naturally cannot take action rashly. For the sake of your own future, you have to endure it no matter what and work hard to build a good relationship first.
Wei Yan was naturally unaware of Chang Yuan's various thoughts. But the result was what he wanted. Seeing that Chang Yuan was interested in making friends, he continued, "Why did Senior Brother Chang drink and sigh again?"
"I'm here with my wife and friends. Senior brother Chang, you might as well eat and drink together. Drinking requires a lot of people to make it lively."
"Senior Brother Chang, please." Wei extended his right hand and invited Chang Yuan to come over.
Once the call ended, Wei Yan didn't give Chang Yuan a chance to react or refuse.
It's hard to reject the hospitality, and I feel really depressed. There are just a bunch of dudes in the middle stage of foundation building. How can he still be afraid?
With this thought in his mind, Chang Yuan followed Wei Yan to their table.
After he clasped fists with Yu Wan and Yan Guang in greeting, he sat in Wei Yan's original seat. Wei Yan was next to Yu Wan, and the two sat together.
After sitting down, Wei Yan shot a spiritual light towards the center of the square table.
At the same time that the light screen in the center of the table appeared, all the leftovers on it disappeared.
At this time, Wei Yan looked at Chang Yuan and spoke again, "Senior Brother Chang, you must have food while drinking. Why don't you, Senior Brother Chang, look at what to eat? I'll treat you."
Chang Yuan nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother Wei." He shot a few auras into the light screen and selected a few side dishes suitable for drinking.
Wei Yan added some more and a few more bottles of wine.
There was wine and food, and the four of them drank happily.
When the wine was full, Wei Yan asked Yu Wan to bring out some snacks. He told Chang Yuan that these were his wife's best snacks - he couldn't part with them, but he hoped he wouldn't dislike them.
Chang Yuan saw that there were four plates on the plate, and each plate contained snacks. One of the dishes was actually made from the sacred green jade grass, a specialty of Xianghu City.
According to Yu Wan's introduction, this is made by separating the outer green thin skin of jade grass, drying it and then cooling it. It is commonly known as brain skin.
Chang Yuan took a bite and found that the shredded skull skin was crunchy, soft and crispy, spicy and appetizing, and went very well with wine.
And even though the outer skin is only made into dishes, the wood and water spiritual energy contained in it is not lost. The abundant spiritual energy pours into the belly, which is comparable to the food in Xinghai Tower.
Chang Yuan couldn't help but couldn't bear the first taste, his chopsticks kept moving between the four plates "reluctantly", and he drank a glass of spiritual wine with Wei Yan and others from time to time.
The moon was high in the sky, although he failed to pry Chang Yuan's mouth open. But they have agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Chang Yuan will take Wei Yan to guard the tower and introduce him to the basic situation of guarding the tower.
Although Chang Yuan knew that Wei Yan knew the way, since he gave him this opportunity to gain favor, of course he would not refuse.
After drinking for about half an hour, Chang Yuan led the three of them into the city from the small teleportation array inside the building. After finding an inn for them, he slowly returned to his residence.
In the inn, Yu Wan and Wei Yan were naturally in the same room. The two of them each found a place to meditate and refine, or to practice and study.
In the blink of an eye, it was a new day again. The three of them waited at the agreed place to reach Changyuan, and then they left the city together and headed to the guard tower.
The guard tower is located in a valley on the south side of Longhu City. The valley is surrounded by high peaks, with only an opening on the southeast side.
With Chang Yuan leading the way, the three of them took about half an hour to fly to the mouth of the valley.
Chang Yuan entered directly with the token, while Wei Yan typed the magic formula into the city lord token on his body, and entered with Yu Wan and Yan Guang.
This is also Chang Yuan's test of their identities.
Even though he had a great time eating and drinking last night, he should not let his guard down at all.
Now that the three of them had successfully entered, Chang Yuan finally made up his mind to hug Wei Yan's thick leg.
As long as he can stay in the guard building, he hardly has to worry about his cultivation resources.
So during the following introduction, Yu Wan and the others could clearly feel that Chang Yuan was even more enthusiastic about them.
They knew in their hearts that they had truly gained trust.
There are a total of 7 floors above the ground of the guard building. Chang Yuan can only be active on the first two floors at present. Going up further, he can only wait for the golden elixir before going up.
Although the token in Wei Yan's hand could go straight to the top floor, Wei Yan did not choose to continue going up after understanding the situation on the second floor.
He turned around and looked at Chang Yuan under Chang Yuan's hopeful eyes, and said, "It's still early, so there's no rush to go up."
"I don't know if Senior Brother Chang has any tasks at the moment. I want to continue checking on the second floor. If Senior Brother Chang is busy, the three of us can just check it out ourselves. It's not convenient to disturb Senior Brother all the time."
Seeing Wei Yan taking the initiative to get involved in the relationship between the two, Chang Yuan felt happy, but whenever he thought of the task at hand, he drooped his head and sighed.
"Junior brother, I don't know. I do have an urgent task in hand right now. It's a pity..."
"no idea."
Wei Yan pretended to look at Yu Wan and Yan Guang unintentionally, and continued to express concern, "Oh, senior brother, please tell me if you have any difficulties. The three of us may be able to help."
"This..." Chang Yuan frowned and hesitated, wondering whether to speak. After all, any tasks received in the guard building must be kept confidential.
What's more, it's a top-secret mission like this.
Seeing Chang Yuan's embarrassed look, Wei Yan did not force him, "It was my junior brother who offended me. I forgot that the tasks in the guard building are strictly confidential. Senior brother, please forgive me."
"Then the three of us will just take a look around here. Senior brother, please go ahead."
After saying that, Wei Yan and the other three clasped their fists and prepared to turn around and leave.
Chang Yuan naturally didn't want the delicious food in his hands to slip away.
There are people guarding the building on both sides, and since his status is so high, he can protect himself even if it is leaked.
Thinking about it quickly, Chang Yuan stretched out his hand to persuade him to stay, "Junior brother, wait a moment. This mission is actually very important. Junior brother, junior brothers and sisters, as well as the other fellow Taoist, please come with me."
"Let's go downstairs and talk in detail."
Hearing Chang Yuan's very pleasant voice at this moment, Wei Yan and Yu Wan raised the corners of their lips slightly, then immediately recovered, turned around and followed Chang Yuan downstairs.
Yan Guang still kept a cold face and followed them without saying a word.
Chang Yuan walked in front, went down to the first floor and walked to a wall. Take out the token and punch it into the fingertips.
The next moment, the white wall in front of him slowly opened. No one expected that there was a secret door here.
The three of them looked at each other and followed Chang Yuan into it.
The stone staircase at the foot slopes down along the wall, with countless moonstones dotted on it for lighting purposes.
The three of them all used their spiritual senses to explore, but unfortunately they couldn't reach the end.
After walking for about half a moment, the smooth walls on the left and right turned into concave and convex mountain walls. However, the stairs continued downward, but the slope became gentler.
This has already entered the mountain.
After walking for about another incense stick, the four finally walked out of the long steps and entered an unusually wide stone cave.
The cave is very large, and the top of the head is about 1 feet high from the top.
The top and four side walls are also inlaid with sufficient moonstone lighting.
The center of the cave is filled with black wooden boxes. There are two monks in the late stage of foundation building tinkering with something next to a box.
When he first entered this place, Yu Wan noticed the black box in front of him. Looking at the familiar black box, his pupils shrank and then returned to normal.
These boxes were the cargo of her soul ship.
