"Why does Brother Tai Yi say that? "This ?" After recovering from the shock, he quickly explained.

However, before Nan Ronglei could say anything, an old man suddenly appeared in the room. He looked at Qingyang with interest and said, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to notice me in this room."

"This old man Ji is my family's elder." When he saw the old man appear, that Nan Rong Lei awkwardly introduced: "He's only here to ensure my safety, don't misunderstand him, Brother Tai."

He indifferently swept a glance at the Ji Clan's old man. He was the same Ji Zhen who was with Nan Ronglei at the Jiqing Restaurant three years ago. He was unable to see through this old man's cultivation back then, but at this moment, he understood in his heart.

The Sun God Stage powerhouse, he never would have thought that the ordinary old man standing by his side every day was actually a Sun God Stage powerhouse! It was no wonder that Ji Zhen alone could protect Nalan Ronglei.

However, from the looks of it, Ji Zhen's cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Sun God Stage, and should be one of the few trusted aides of Nan Rong Lei.

"Old Master Ji, I was just lucky." He stood up and cupped his hands together before replying with a faint smile.

"Brat, your cultivation isn't bad. I didn't think that someone at the Foundation Establishment stage would be able to see through my existence. Your future is boundless." Old Man Ji didn't hold back. After he sat down, he stared at Qingyang with a slightly surprised expression and smiled.

"Old Master Ji, I am Shangguan Mu of the Shangguan family." After all, even when he stepped into the elementary level of the Green Wood Celestial Realm, he was still unable to see through the cultivation of those who were at least Great Void Stage powerhouses.

"Don't be polite, your grandfather and I have some friendship with this old man." Waving his hand, Ji Zhen said with a smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased up, Nan Rong Lei heaved a sigh of relief. He respectfully poured another cup of Immortal Drunken Wine for Ji Zhen, and the four of them began to drink wine and chat.

After three rounds of drinking and five dishes, even Shangguan Mu, who had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage, felt a bit drunk. After all, this wasn't the Bamboo Leaf Green of the Jiqing Restaurant.

"Hehe, Brother Lei, I can see that you don't look too good. Is there anything troubling you?" Qingyang calmly glanced at Nanyun Ronglei and smiled, indicating him, "Using alcohol to get rid of your worries is even more worrying."

After drinking and chatting, they naturally became closer. In the banquet, Shangguan Mu had repeatedly revealed that Qingyang was one of them, according to the plan he had discussed with Qingyang. He was also his sworn brother, so it didn't matter if Nalan Ronglei had anything to say to him.

Qingyang naturally guessed that Nanyang Ronglei still had some misgivings about him. After all, it was their first time meeting, so how could he possibly dig out his heart and dig out his lungs? Therefore, he had discussed a few small strategies with Shangguan Mu yesterday in order to have Nan Ronglei dispel his wariness towards him.

"Hehe, why do you say that, Brother Tai Yi? I am a free and unfettered king, I am not worried about food or clothes, and I have many beautiful women by my side. After a slight pause, Nan Rong Lei took a bite of the dish and said with a vague smile.

"Oh? "However, I saw some Ni Duan's expression in Brother Lei's eyes." Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Qingyang stared into Nanyang's eyes and laughed.

Hearing Qingyang's words, Nanyun Ronglei felt a little awkward, but before he could say anything, Ji Zhen interrupted him and said, "I think ? you're drunk, aren't you? Don't talk nonsense, I don't believe that you only have this much alcohol. "

Qingyang turned his head to look at Ji Zhen. The two of them probably didn't trust him. After all, this was a way to usurp a position of power. If one wasn't careful, then he would definitely be executed. However, this matter could not be rushed for the time being, so he decided to take it slowly.

He rubbed his nose, raised his glass, and said, "Perhaps the Immortal's drunkenness is too strong, causing my eyes to go blurry. Haha, drink, drink!"

The expression on Nan Rong Lei's face also changed, and he immediately laughed loudly: "Drink, drink!"

Too strong for wine? Even though this Immortal was drunk, it could be considered good wine. However, it was still just wine. How could it dazzle a person who could spy on the whereabouts of a Sun God expert? If word of this got out, it would definitely make people laugh their teeth out.

What Qingyang had said was an excuse, but it was also due to Ji Zhen's words that he stepped down from the stage. The two of them naturally understood the reason behind Qingyang's' troublesome matters', but how could they be at ease if they were related to Qingyang, even if they were only close friends with Nanyun Ronglei?

While Qingyang was speaking, Shangguan Mu had been observing the changes in the expressions of the two men with cold eyes. No matter how well they hid themselves, they were still seen by the two men.

However, Qingyang didn't continue to talk about this matter. The four of them drank and joked around until the dozens of pots of Immortal wine were emptied. It was unavoidable for them to exchange pleasantries, but Qingyang gave Nanyun Ronglei a meaningful look in the end.

Watching as Qingyang and Qingyang left, Nalan Ronglei and Ji Zhen returned to their wooden huts with smiles on their faces. The current Nangong Lei looked like a completely different person, with a hint of coldness on his handsome face and a hint of cynicism in his eyes.

"Grandpa Ji, what do you think of this person?" With a cold voice, he said with a puzzled expression, "Although this is my first time meeting him, he gives me a very familiar feeling. However, I can't see through him."

"En, this person is indeed not simple. His cultivation is at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he is able to see through my existence." Nodding, Ji Zhen replied in a low voice, "You are right. I have the same feeling, but I am sure that I have never met this person before."

Walking back and forth in the room, Nan Rong Lei frowned: "Just now, his words contained some hidden meaning, and I'm afraid he knew what I was thinking. However, this matter is a secret. Other than Grandpa Ji and a few others, how did he expect it?"

Looking at Qingyang's tone and eyes, how could the word 'anticipating' be enough to describe him? This was what he was sure of. How could he not shock Nalan Ronglei with this thought in his mind?

Nan Ronglei had very few confidences in the first place, and only those few Death Soldiers that he trained himself knew what he truly thought. How could the cautious Nan Ronglei possibly tell someone that he couldn't trust his life? If someone were to betray him, then he really wouldn't be able to confirm who it was.

"Let's just watch for now. Since this child is already aware of it, mentioning it before us should not be detrimental to our plans." Ji Zhen was already an experienced person, so he naturally had a thorough understanding of Qingyang's words and actions, "Besides, I have a feeling that this guy is trustworthy."

"I don't think Shangguan Mu is an idiot. He hates the Nan Rong family so much that he wouldn't recruit their canines." The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. Nan Ronglei softly muttered: "Let's just wait and see what kind of actions they will take on the medicinal rankings. If anything goes wrong with this matter, we will step into an irreparable calamity."
