#372 - Please have a drink, brother.

The next day, bright and early, Xu Ming woke up from his bed.

Walking out of the courtyard, Xu Ming brushed his teeth and washed his face, making him feel much more awake.

Last night, that Uncle Lu Xiaoliu came to find Xu Ming, talking about this and that, and finally said to Xu Ming—if Xiao Mochi had an accident, he hoped Xu Ming could stand idly by.

Even though Xu Ming asked Lu Xiaoliu for the reason he said this after Lu Xiaoliu said it.

However, Lu Xiaoliu didn't tell Xu Ming, just smiled, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore," and then left.

Xu Ming didn't press further, even if he asked, this Uncle Lu would definitely not say.

Xu Ming felt that he could only ask about it when he returned to the Wu Kingdom.

Of course, Xu Ming felt that even if he asked Mr. Xiao, he wouldn't get any results.

However, if things really turned out as Uncle Lu said, to such an urgent point, could he really stand idly by?

Xu Ming wasn't sure.

In any case, Mr. Xiao was ultimately his enlightenment teacher.

Moreover, Xu Ming actually admired Mr. Xiao very much.

So last night, Xu Ming didn't agree to Lu Xiaoliu.

Lu Xiaoliu just said this one sentence and didn't force Xu Ming to agree.

In the end, Xu Ming would make a certain decision, that was Xu Ming's business, and Lu Xiaoliu also knew that he didn't have the right to ask him to do anything.

After washing up, Xu Ming continued to place the immortal sword Hongxiu on his lap to meditate.

Finally, after practicing a set of boxing techniques and going through the Tianxuan Heart Sutra once, it was almost noon.

Xu Ming felt that the time was almost up and planned to visit that Lord Turtle.

However, just as Xu Ming walked out of the courtyard, he saw two people looking at him with smiles.

"Brother Yuwen, Brother Miao, why are you two here?"

Looking at the two people standing in front of him, Xu Ming was also stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He knew that White Deer Academy would definitely send some young people to congratulate the Sihai Ceremony and broaden their horizons, but what they didn't expect was that it would be these two people.

Speaking of which, are these two people so valued? Why hadn't he noticed it usually?

"Hahaha, Brother Xu has come to the North Sea Dragon Palace, how can the two of us not come? Could it be that Brother Xu looks down on us?"

Yuwen Xi said in a joking tone.

"How could that be."

Xu Ming also smiled.

"It's only natural for the two brothers to come, after all, who among our peers is more outstanding than the two brothers? It's just that I thought the two of you didn't like to join in this kind of excitement."

Miao Feng shook his head: "This can't be called joining in the excitement, this Sihai Ceremony is held once every thousand years, and each time it's very grand. It's really our honor to be able to participate in the Sihai Ceremony. It's very likely that this is our last time coming."

"Indeed, indeed."

Yuwen Xi also echoed from the side.

"Let's not talk about how rare this Sihai Ceremony is, coming to the North Sea Dragon Palace to see the legendary Dragon Queen with our own eyes, even if it's just a glimpse from afar, it's worth it."

"That's right," Xu Ming nodded, "The two of you should indeed go and see that female emperor. Indeed, as long as you can see her once, this East Sea Dragon Palace will not have been a wasted trip."

"Oh?" Miao Feng suddenly became interested, "Could it be that Brother Xu has seen her?"

Xu Ming: "I was summoned by that Dragon Queen yesterday and met her once."

"How was she?" Yuwen Xi asked curiously.

"The beauty of the Dragon Queen cannot be described with words. When the Sihai Ceremony arrives, the two of you will be able to see her," Xu Ming said.

Miao Feng smiled: "Brother Xu, the way you say it makes us even more expectant. However, just as Brother Xu said, let's save this anticipation for the Sihai Ceremony. Let's go, it's not easy for us to gather again, let's drink, let's drink. Last time it was Brother Xu's treat, this time, we'll treat."

Xu Ming: "Then I won't be polite, please."

Miao Feng, Yuwen Xi: "Brother Xu, please!"

The three people left the palace laughing and talking, going to find a restaurant to drink, chatting and catching up with each other as they walked.

"Brother Xu, how about this restaurant? I heard that this restaurant has a good reputation, and the sashimi inside is said to be excellent," Miao Feng finally picked a restaurant.

Xu Ming nodded: "Okay, since the two of you are treating, I won't be picky. But when the time comes for me to order, I won't be polite to you."

"Hahaha," Yuwen Xi said with a smile, "Order whatever you want, we still have enough money to treat Brother Xu to a meal."

Xu Ming: "Please!"

Yuwen Xi, Miao Feng: "Please!"

Just as Xu Ming walked in, Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng exchanged a look, then nodded and walked in together.

At the same time, four people walked out of the Dragon Palace.

These four people were Zhu Cici, Fang Yu, Ling Bisheng, and Chen Kun from White Deer Academy.

As Zhu Cici walked on the streets of Dragon City, gazes were directed towards Zhu Cici.

Fang Yu and the others knew that those gazes were not directed at them, but at Cici. They all raised their heads and chests, feeling a sense of pride.

In any case, Cici was their fellow disciple.

"It's strange, Yuwen Xi, that guy, told us to go to Panhai Tower for dinner, but they disappeared," Fang Yu complained.

Near noon, Fang Yu was resting in the courtyard when Yuwen Xi said that there was a restaurant with a very good taste, and not going would be like a wasted trip to Dragon City, and he said he would treat.

But when Fang Yu and his group gathered at the palace gate, Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng were nowhere to be seen.

Ling Bisheng smiled: "Miao Feng told me that he and Yuwen Xi went to order food first, and then waited for us to go together."

Zhu Cici also smiled: "It's already good that they're treating us to a meal, Brother Fang is still complaining."

Fang Yu smiled: "Hahaha, Cici is right, those two guys are rich but like iron roosters, it's already good that they can treat us to a meal, we really can't complain."

"Alright, let's go quickly, Brother Yuwen and the others will be impatient waiting," Chen Kun said with anticipation, "I've heard that Panhai Tower has a very good taste, and it's very difficult to book a table."

"Even Chen Kun, you glutton, is saying that, I'm already looking forward to it, let's go, let's go!" Fang Yu strode forward.

Soon after, the group arrived at the foot of a restaurant.

"Panhai Tower." Looking at the restaurant's signboard, Zhu Cici murmured softly, "It should be here, let's go in."
