There is a dining table in the hall, and two people are sitting behind the table, Shangguan Changge and a man in his early fifties.
Shangguan Changge did not wear the noble palace attire last night, but simply wore a light shirt, with his hair tied up and casually passed through with a hairpin.
The man sitting next to her has a square mouth and a straight nose. He has a sense of self-reliance and self-respect that has been in a high position for a long time, and he also has a bit of a literary spirit that only a scholar can have.
He was wearing a green shirt, his temples were slightly white, and his eyes showed the vicissitudes of life, but he did not deliberately cover up the traces of time.
Based on this demeanor alone, Xu You knew that this person was Zhou Wuji, the governor of Xichuan County and one of the core powerful monks of the Zhou royal family.
This man was born as a military commander when he was young. He also liked literature and was good at strategy.
He has the domineering attitude of a military commander and the lightness of a scholar. He is a Confucian general who is famous in the frontier.
Later, after the peace on the border, he retreated to the second line and came to Xichuan County to serve as the county guard, which he held for more than thirty years. In the past few decades, he has been in charge of people's livelihood in Xichuan County.
He has a very good reputation among the people, and he is the governor of Xichuan County that everyone likes.
"I've met the county governor, I've met senior Shangguan." Xu You took the lead in bowing and saying hello.
"Sit down, listen to Chang Ge saying that you are here to celebrate his birthday this time. I was rude if I didn't take the time to meet you last night." Zhou Wuji said in a warm voice and motioned for Xu You to sit down.
Xu You thanked him and sat down opposite.
Zhou Wuji then continued, "My little friend is young and has profound cultivation, and the Kunlun Immortal Sect is very popular. I would also like to thank my little friend for what happened the night before."
"The magistrate is ridiculous. I'm just an ordinary disciple. As a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I naturally can't stand by and watch what happened the night before." Xu You said modestly.
Zhou Wuji half-closed his eyes and looked at Xu You and Xu You carefully with a smile.
Xu You also picked up the tea cup and started drinking.
"Xu You, I have something to tell you." Shangguan Changge turned to look at Xu You.
"Senior, please speak." Xu You nodded.
"I have an only daughter, my name is Wan'er. She has an outstanding appearance and is very talented. Now she is concentrating on practicing in the Taiyi Sect and she is about the same age as you. If you have time, I can introduce you to her later." Shangguan Changge said slowly.
Xu You was stunned for a moment and almost choked on the tea in his mouth. He looked at Zhou Wuji, who had a calm expression, and then at Shangguan Changge, who had a calm expression.
It suddenly dawned on me that although the other party said it so tactfully, it was probably not because of the drunkard's intention to drink!
Do you want to make yourself a son-in-law? No, it shouldn't be to this point. It's impossible for the two of them to have such a different status. They probably just want to be friends.
After thinking about this clearly, Xu You nodded and said with a smile, "That's natural. I'm also very interested in getting to know the senior's daughter. If there is a chance in the future, I should definitely meet her."
After hearing Xu You's answer, Shangguan Changge just smiled softly and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he chatted about common things such as daily life in the Immortal Sect.
Xu You naturally told everything he knew and was very attentive in chatting with the other party.
When the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, the communication jade talisman in Xu You's pocket vibrated. It was a message from the Xianmen office in the city.
Seeing this, Xu You pointed at the jade talisman and said apologetically, "Senior, there is still something going on in my family. I'm afraid I have to leave now."
"Go." Shangguan Changge nodded.
"Thank you for your hospitality, senior. I will take my leave first." Xu You stood up and bowed solemnly before turning around and leaving the hall.
Shangguan Changge and Zhou Wuji watched Xu You leave. After a while, Zhou Wuji suddenly sighed with emotion, "This Xu You's grace is worthy of being called a dragon or a phoenix among men. Although the Kunlun Immortal Sect has declined, its foundation is extraordinary. Under the sect, Disciples are still like dragons.”
This sigh was uttered by him as a member of the royal family. After all, the foundation of the Immortal Sect can make anyone sincerely sigh.
Shangguan Changge said, "I'm not boasting, Xu You is indeed an extremely rare talent. Needless to say, what does it mean to be able to kill the four realms with the sword energy of the three realms that night?"
"That's right." Zhou Wuji nodded gently, "It's just that you know Wan'er's temperament. Wasn't it inappropriate what you just said?"
Shangguan Changge said slowly, "Wan'er has a cold temper and a high vision. But Xu You's every aspect is higher than her vision anyway.
I didn’t say let them be good. Young people’s affairs belong to young people. It’s okay to be a friend. More friends means more paths. It doesn't matter if we can't be friends.
The new great era is coming, and no one knows what will happen to you and me under the general trend. Sooner or later, the fate of the world belongs to young people. I just think about the future for Wan'er. "
Zhou Wuji pursed his lips twice and said no more. This kind of thing is just a trivial matter to him.
Although young people are excellent, their strength and status are not yet dependent on young people.
On the other side, Xu You rushed towards the office as soon as he left the city lord's palace.
What Shangguan Changge said just now made him think too much now. He originally thought that Shangguan Changge gave him two generous gifts when they met last night because of his master Li Changsheng.
But now that she's savoring it carefully, I'm afraid it's not just for this reason. She is investing in an outstanding handsome boy.
Xu You suddenly felt helpless. As soon as this person was outstanding, big and small people would flock to him. Xu You said that he was under a lot of pressure and being a handsome boy was so tiring.
"Senior Brother Xu!"
The voice of greeting behind him woke him up. Looking back, he saw that it was Huo Lianyi who was calling him.
The little girl changed into an ordinary skirt, her hair was combed into a bun, her face was still covered with a veil, and her eyes looked at her in surprise.
"It's Junior Sister Huo. How are you? Are you okay?" Xu You paused with a smile and asked.
"It's okay. Senior brother spent the night at the city lord's mansion last night. I specially waited here." Huo Lianyi walked to Xu You and said, "I haven't properly thanked senior brother yet. Thank you very much, senior brother."
"You're welcome." Xu You nodded.
"My mother said, if you need any help from her in the future, just ask her," Huo Lianyi continued.
Xu You's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. After getting to know Mr. Huo, Xu You didn't dare to say anything about asking for help.
He always stayed away from such crazy women.
He even planned this for Huo Lianyi. A daughter is like a mother. Xu Youjiang will never forget Huo Lianyi's behavior that night.
Of course, he couldn't say this in front of the little girl. He just nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, junior sister."
"It should."
Huo Lianyi chatted with Xu You for a few more words and then left. As a popular idol, she was very busy. Her music listening schedule was full and she had to rush to the next place.
"By the way, Senior Brother, don't forget to invite me to your double cultivation ceremony with Senior Sister Luo in the future." The little girl said this in her crisp laughter before leaving.
