　　”That’s right, it was just given to me by that patroller surnamed Zuo from the Strong Wind Hall.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　For the sake of merit coins, he had no choice but to say this, but he still decided to hide the matter of those two people threatening him that day.
　　”Grandpa said that when you are a person, you should leave a line, so that you can meet again in the future.”
　　Xu Taiping thought so magnanimously in his heart.
　　”This is an ordinary communication talisman and can’t transmit voices…”
　　Liu Songshan took the talisman and took a look, then his face turned pale again, and his head buzzed and exploded.
　　After being the Pavilion Master of the West Wind Pavilion for so many years, how could he not know the tricks of his subordinates? Most of these talismans that can only transmit messages but not voices are used by subordinates to blackmail those outer sect disciples！
　　”What are you still standing there for, pay up！”
　　The cold gaze of Ninth Uncle swept over Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi.
　　“Yes… yes！”
Liu Songshan didn’t waste any more words. He immediately took out a bag of merit coins and placed it on the table, then glared at Xu Youzhi beside him.
At this time, Xu Youzhi stood motionless aside. Beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead were continuously rolling like raindrops and his entire person fell into a state of sluggishness.
　　“Don’t just stand there. Coincidentally, this talisman was given by that Zuo Ju, and it can just notify him.”
　　Ninth Uncle said coldly.
　　“Both Brother Zuo Ju and Brother Zhou Gu have warm hearts. Afraid that I might encounter monsters, they specially gave me this communication talisman.”
　　Xu Taiping decided to be a good person to the end and took the opportunity to praise Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu.
　　But what he didn’t know was that these few people present were all old foxes who had guessed almost all of the actions of Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu here that day.
　　“Little Brother Taiping, with what you said, we should even more invite these two to come and have a simple meal together. Hurry up, Liu Songshan, don’t dawdle. Quickly call these two here！”
　　Ninth Uncle urged impatiently.
　　“Okay, okay. I… I’ll call them right away…”
　　Liu Songshan went to the door with a face full of misery and activated that communication talisman.
　　……
　　A　moment　later.
　　“Little fellow, you’ve finally figured it out, right？”
　　“It took you more than half a month to call us. I’m afraid you’ve suffered a lot, right？ If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place！”
Ninth Uncle and Xu Taiping, who were eating the roast lamb wrapped in perilla leaves, and Xu Youzhi and Liu Songshan, who were sitting aside trembling and dared not touch the chopsticks, all heard the two shouts outside the courtyard at the same time.
　　“This is… the two of them？”
　　Ninth Uncle, with his mouth full of meat, mumbled and pointed outside the house with his chopsticks.
　　“I’ll go and open the door！”
　　Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi, who were already sweating profusely, stood up at the same time and said in unison.
　　We can’t let those two guys outside speak anymore！
　　……
　　Outside　the　courtyard.
　　“Where are they？ Open the door！”
　　“Open the door quickly！”
　　“Bang,　bang,　bang！”
　　Because no one opened the door for a long time, the tone of Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu suddenly became impatient, and Zhou Gu even started kicking the door with his foot.
　　“Brother Zuo, this kid wouldn’t be playing tricks on us, would he？”
　　Zhou Gu looked at Zuo Ju beside him with some vigilance in his eyes.
　　“How dare he！” Zuo Ju snorted coldly. “This area is the territory of our two brothers. Even if Hall Master Xu and Hall Master Liu saw us, they would have to show us some respect.”
　　“Pa！”
　　As soon as Zuo Ju said this, the courtyard door of the small courtyard was forcefully pulled open.
　　“You brat are quite sensible… Liu… Pavilion Master Liu… Hall Master Xu？！”
　　Zhou Gu’s words stopped abruptly in the middle.
I saw that Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi were standing side by side, looking at Zhou Gu and Zuo Ju with iron faces. and the anger in their eyes was almost about to burst out of their sockets.
　　“You two, how come… how come you are here？”
　　Zuo Ju, who had reacted from his daze, asked the two with a slightly trembling voice.
　　“What are you guys still dawdling at the door for？ Come in quickly, the food is going to get cold.”
　　Before Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi could answer, Ninth Uncle’s slightly impatient voice suddenly came from the room.
　　“Coming,　Ninth　Uncle！”
　　“Right away！”
　　Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi’s expressions changed simultaneously, and their faces instantly changed from winter to spring, turning their heads to look into the courtyard with smiles all over their faces.
　　However, when the two turned their heads to look at Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu again, their faces changed back to the severe winter.
　　“Get　in　here！”
Liu Songshan first glared at the two, and then scolded them with a short and rapid gasp.
　　“Yes！”
At this time, Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu had been scared out of their wits.
　　No matter how stupid they were, they could tell that there was someone in the small courtyard at the moment whom even Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi had to fawn on with smiles.
　　……
　　Enter　the　house.
　　“Li… Li… Little… Mast… er…”
　　As soon as they saw Ninth Uncle, the legs of Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu went weak. They stood at the door, stuttering and sweating profusely.
　　“Call him Ninth Uncle！”
　　Xu Youzhi kicked Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu hard.
　　“Oh,　Ninth　Uncle！”
　　“Nice to meet Ninth Uncle！”
　　The two were awakened by this kick from Hall Master Xu and quickly stepped forward to greet Ninth Uncle.
　　“Don’t just stand there. Come and sit down and eat.”
　　Ninth Uncle didn’t even look at the two of them. He just pointed to the position where Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi were and motioned for the two to sit down.
　　“This…”
　　Liu Songshan and Xu Youzhi were originally sitting close together. Now, with the addition of Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu, they could only squeeze against each other.
　　“Ninth, Ninth Uncle, how, how about the two of us waiting aside？”
　　Zuo Ju looked at Liu Songshan, who was sweating profusely from being squeezed, and immediately stammered and suggested.
　　“Oh, just squeeze. Squeeze a little and you can always sit down.”
　　Ninth Uncle’s tone suddenly became impatient.
　　“What are you talking about, you brat？ Sit down quickly. Such a big empty space is not enough for you to sit？”
Liu Songshan gave that Zuo Ju a fierce glare.
　　“Yes, yes！”
Zuo Ju immediately became as well-behaved as a lamb and sat close to that Liu Songshan without saying a word In just a moment. his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
　　“How on earth did these few people offend this Ninth Uncle？”
　　“To be able to scare Pavilion Master Liu like this, the identity of this Ninth Uncle should not be simple. Could it be that of the elder level of the Black Dragon?”
　　Looking at the two people on the opposite side who were tightly pressed together, Xu Taiping felt a bit funny and also became curious in his heart.
　　“Forget it, the grudges of these big shots, I, a mere outer sect cultivator, should not get involved. None of the people present are someone I can afford to offend.”
　　Xu Taiping couldn’t figure it out, so he continued to bury his head and eat.
　　……
It was not until the evening that this meal finally ended.
　　I have to say that the appetite of this Ninth Uncle is really huge. Xu Taiping added several more dishes in the middle, and only then did he barely fill his stomach.
　　“Fortunately, I received the money. Otherwise, this meal would really be a big loss.”
　　Looking at the mess on the table, Xu Taiping secretly rejoiced in his heart.
