Chapter 049: Enemies in the Same Team
Xu Lai chuckled and asked, "You came to see me last night? Is there something?"
"It's okay, I'm just going to watch TV!" said Chen Duo.
Xu said, "Okay," and said that he was sorry for interrupting the landlord's watching TV, and he would pay attention next time.
At this time, a large plate of grilled skewers was brought up, along with two cans of beer. Chen Duo handed over one can.
Xu Lai opened it and took a sip, then said, "Landlord, I have something to ask you."
"What?" Chen Duo asked while picking a few skewers and eating.
"You should know a lot about the Internet, right?" Xu said.
"Not bad." Chen Duo said, "What do you want to know?"
"Have you heard of Baihuasha? It should be an online name." Xu Lai asked.
Chen Duo shook her head: "What kind of a crappy name is that? I'm still playing Werewolf!"
"Wait until September 8th in autumn, when my flowers bloom, all other flowers will die." Xu Lai said while eating skewers, "You don't know this?"
Chen Duo really didn’t know.
"Then you must have heard of this line 'The fragrance of incense rises to the sky and permeates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor'?" Xu Lai was speechless.
"I know this, I know! Curse of the Golden Flower, it's Zhang Yimou's movie!" Chen Duo was happy.
"That was the sentence before this one." Xu Lai said calmly.
"Really?" Chen Duo was a little embarrassed.
"What top student is there at Jiangning University?"
"Who says top students must understand poetry?" Chen Duo was angry.
As they were talking, a man came over to their table and asked, "Can I sit down, please?"
Chen Duo looked up and saw a man with an elegant appearance, about thirty years old, with neatly combed hair.
For a moment, she was a little confused. Could this be a professor from their school who knew her and came over to say hello?
But she has no impression of this person at all!
She was struggling with this, and Xu said, "You have to ask our landlord about this."
Chen Duo was very upset. This guy really put the blame on her.
"Miss, may I sit down?" the man asked her again, in a gentle and polite tone.
Chen Duo was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do for a moment, so she said, "Sit down, sit wherever you want!"
The man said "thank you" politely and sat down on the chair next to him.
Xu came to look at him and said, "Lantian?"
"It's me." Lan Tian was not very surprised that he recognized him at a glance. After all, after what happened with Lam Chi Chung, this person should know whose apprentice he was.
However, over the years, others have respectfully addressed him as Mr. Lantian. He didn't know how long it had been since he heard anyone call him by his name, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.
But what he didn't expect was that if seniority really came into play, given Xu Lai's previous status as the head of the Tianshi Temple, it would be appropriate to call him Xiaolan, let alone Lantian.
"Do you two know each other?" Chen Duo glared at Xu Lai and really wanted to kick him.
"Haha, I should say we just met." Lantian laughed. He was quite surprised to see Xu Lai at this time. This man had soft eyebrows and gentle temperament. From his appearance, he didn't look like a vicious and cruel person.
"What do you want to eat? I'll add some more." Chen Duo asked Lantian, and was about to ask the boss to order more dishes.
Before Lantian could open his mouth, Xu said, "Landlord, don't order anything. He won't eat it."
"Really?" Chen Duo looked at Lantian.
"Oh, yes, I just ate. You guys eat and don't worry about me." Lantian said.
In fact, he came here without eating and was already hungry. But after people said so, how could he still have the nerve to ask for food?
"Then I really won't care about you anymore?" Chen Duo looked at his attire and guessed that he might not be used to eating at this kind of roadside stall.
"No, no." Lantian said hurriedly.
After Xu Lai finished one skewer, he took another and said, "It's really delicious."
"Of course." Chen Duo said as if it was a matter of course.
The two of them were talking to each other while eating and chatting, and they really didn't care about the people sitting next to them.
Lan Tian burst into tears. She thought for a moment and was about to speak when she heard Xu Lai ask, "Are you Lin Zicong's master?"
Finally, we get to the point!
Lan Tian was cheered up and said hurriedly: "Zicong is half of my student."
Xu Lai said "Oh" and said, "Then you didn't teach him the sect rules properly?"
Chongxu Temple belongs to a branch of Tianshi Mansion, and the rules of Chongxu Temple are also the rules of Tianshi Mansion.
"Zicong is a naughty kid. He actually dared to use the Divine Seal without permission. I have already taught him a lesson!" Lan Tian said seriously, "I promise to discipline him strictly when I return!"
Seeing that Xu Lai remained calm, he considered for a moment and said, "Zicong used the Kaishen Seal without permission. No wonder my brother is angry."
Lantian was really humble enough, even calling him his younger brother.
"But the kid has already learned his lesson. How about you be magnanimous and let him go?" Lantian said carefully.
In his opinion, as a senior mage of Chongxu Temple with the support of Tianshi Mansion, he was willing to humble himself and discuss things with a young mage like him. This was already giving the other party enough face. If the other party was sensible, he would not refuse.
"No." Unexpectedly, Xu Lai refused without even thinking about it.
Seeing him like this, Lantian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Brother, even if my student didn't know what was good for him and offended you, you used the Yin-Yang Lock and the Five Saints Demon-revealing Talisman on him, isn't that too much?"
"Is it too much? I don't think so." Xu Lai said while eating skewers.
Chen Duo was eating happily at first, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and the tension between the two began to grow as they talked.
And from what they said, this guy called Lantian seems to be a mage as well. It seems like they are enemies in the same field!
Later I heard that person talking about students or something. It seemed that one of his students had a conflict with Xu Lai, and was beaten by Xu Lai. This person came to mediate.
But looking at this guy's arrogant look, it seems that he doesn't want to give the other party any face at all.
Are these two going to fight? Chen Duo was nervous.
This person called Lantian looked different in appearance and temperament. He might be a great master. If a conflict really came up, she was worried that Xu Lai would suffer.
Just as I was thinking about whether to try to mediate, I heard Lantian say, "Brother, it is true that my student was wrong, but you have already taught him a lesson, how about we just leave it at that?"
Lantian's words were sincere and he didn't want to make things too awkward with this person unless he had to.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lai stared at him and said coldly: "According to the rules of the Tianshi Mansion, what is the crime for bullying women?" Chen Duo looked at Xu Lai, quite stunned. Since the first day they met, this guy has been so casual, sometimes you don't even know if what he said is serious or a joke.
This is the first time I heard him speak in such a serious tone.
What's going on? Chen Duo was shocked.
Lantian, however, broke out in sweat as he heard this. When it comes to bullying women, whether in the Tianshi Mansion or in most other sects, it is a serious crime among serious crimes!
If it had happened earlier, needless to say, they would have killed it on the spot and cleared the way for the whole family!
Even now, although they no longer take their lives directly, a person cannot escape with all his muscles and bones crippled, and then he will be thrown to the relevant departments for disposal.
"Brother, you are joking. Although my student is naughty, he would never do such a thing!" Lan Tian calmed down. After all, Lin Zicong was under his nose. If he really did such a thing , he would definitely not be aware of it.
"Indeed not." Xu Lai took a sip of beer and said.
Lantian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help feeling annoyed. What was wrong with this guy? Was he being made fun of?
Chen Duo was also confused. When she heard Xu Lai say something about "bullying women", she thought that the man named Lin Zicong had actually done such a vicious thing and was still cursing. But Xu Lai said "no" again. What on earth was going on?
Lantian thought for a moment and was about to speak again, but he saw the other party staring at him and said in a cold voice: "What if he used the dream-peeping technique to humiliate women?"
When Lantian heard this, he was shocked.
As a senior mage in Chongxu Temple, he certainly knew what the dream-reading technique was.
At first glance, it seems that using dream voyeurism to enter someone's dream and humiliate them is a much lesser crime than actually humiliating women.
But those who really understand the history of the Shu sect know that using the dream-peeping technique to humiliate women is not only a serious crime, but also not only will the sect be expelled, but the entire Shu sect will also jointly punish them!
