The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

The shopkeeper looked at Village Chief Lian, and when he saw him nod slightly, he walked towards the backyard and soon brought up some cooked meat and wine.

"Senior, these are all we have in the kitchen. I'll make whatever you want. If you need anything else, I'll call the cook to make it for you."

"No need, this is all." Wang Ying sat at the table, reached out to take a piece of meat from the plate, picked up the bone on one side and started eating.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Wang Ying. Wang Ying felt these eyes and frowned slightly. She raised her head and looked at the person next to her: "What? Do you want to eat together?"

"No, no, we have already eaten. Please eat it yourself, Senior."

"Why are you looking at me if you're not eating? I'm not here for you to watch! Just do what you need to do, don't worry about me. I'm just going to meet the person who arranged for you to do these things with my friends. Of course, if you are afraid that I will harm him, you can go and inform him first and ask him if he wants to see me. I think someone who can do this kind of thing will not be too cowardly to see me, right?"

Village chief Lian whispered a few instructions to the people around him, and the man ran to the backyard. Wang Ying just looked up at him without saying anything, and turned to look at Zeng Wenyu and the others: "How is it? Young friend, and the younger generations of the Lan and Hua families, do you want to come and have a meal and drink with me?"

"Okay!" Zeng Wenyu sat down opposite Wang Ying without any hesitation, and then took out a lot of food from his storage bag. "These are not enough for us. Senior, try what I bought in Andong City this afternoon. These are all time-honored brands."

"Oh? An old brand? Let me try it, don't let anyone fool you." Wang Ying picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. "Not bad, not bad. Although it tastes a little different from the past, I can tell that it was bought from an old store. It's not the kind that people in Andong City have trouble finding."

"If you like, please eat more. I bought a lot of these things anyway."

Zeng Wenyu was still taking things out of his storage bag, and soon the table was full. Wang Ying didn't hesitate to enjoy the delicacies on the table with them.

Nearly half an hour had passed, and the food on the table had been replenished again and again. Only Zeng Wenyu and Wang Ying were still eating. One of them had a big appetite and digested food quickly, while the other digested food quickly due to his high cultivation level. Wang Ying could not attack Zeng Wenyu, so instead he competed with him to see who could eat more.

"Hey? Brother Gao, why are you only concerned about eating by yourself? These are all good things in the city! Give me some too!" A voice came from the backyard. It was Li Pingping's voice. After knowing that Wang Ying was in Anqing Inn, he chose to come and see him on his own initiative.

Li Pingping walked to the table and just picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He just turned his head to look at where Zeng Wenyu was sitting. His eyes moved and first glanced at Lan Shuang who had been facing away from him. The cake in his mouth fell out before he chewed it: "Lan... Lan Qianhu?"

Lan Shuang frowned and looked at the cake that fell on the ground, then raised her head and looked at Li Pingping: "It turned out to be the Young City Lord. I wonder what the Young City Lord wants me to do?"

"No...no, I just didn't know you were back, Lan Qianhu, so I wasn't prepared..."

"Young City Lord, you and I are not related. I am just a captain guarding the border city. You don't need to prepare anything for me. I am just going home to visit."

After saying this, Lan Shuang stood up and sat next to Zeng Wenyu, giving up her chair to Li Pingping.

Sighing, Li Pingping picked up the cake from the ground, sat on a chair, took out a knife to cut off the dust on the cake, put the cake back into his mouth, chewed it and turned to ask Wang Ying: "Wang Family Patriarch wants to kill me? I wonder what the senior wants to see me for?"

"Just as I guessed, it was indeed the Young City Lord who was behind this." Wang Ying stopped eating and glanced at Zeng Wenyu who was still eating with a strange expression, showing his surrender with his actions. "Young City Lord, I came here this time just to find a way out for Wang Jiabo, a way out that would not be hunted down and killed by the Central Imperial City."

"Senior, you should go to the Central Imperial City to deal with this matter. What's the point of coming to me? I am not the one who can make this decision."

"No, others may not know the Young City Lord, but how can we old guys not know? The Young City Lord doesn't really think that we old guys don't pay attention to the things in the City Lord's Mansion?" Wang Ying picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip. "The Young City Lord has been keeping a low profile these years, just because he doesn't want City Lord Li and your elder brother to not pay attention to you? And from what happened today, it can be seen that you have a lot of power in your hands, right? Otherwise, you can't make such a big scene with just the power in front of you."

"Senior, you are too kind. These are just the forces developed by my subordinates. I have never managed them myself. After all, my father once said that except for my eldest brother, the other children of our City Lord Mansion can only have 50 subordinates at most. What's more, my eldest brother has planted many of his people among us. Our every move is under the surveillance of my eldest brother. It is difficult for us to survive."

Wang Ying shook his head. He knew that Li Pingping didn't trust him very much and was unwilling to tell him the truth. However, he didn't blame Li Pingping. After all, as the ancestor of the Wang family, if he suddenly said he wanted to surrender, anyone would be suspicious.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a moment, and Wang Ying had no choice but to look at Hua Wu Yue and Lan Shuang for help. He hoped that Hua Wu Yue and Lan Shuang could speak for him.

Hua Wu Yue and Lan Shuang did not respond to Wang Ying's gaze. They both didn't know how to talk to Li Pingping, let alone help Wang Ying.

There was no other way, Wang Ying could only turn her eyes to Zeng Wenyu.

Zeng Wenyu picked up the paper on the table and wiped his mouth: "Ancestor Wang, some things can only be expressed through actions. If I said it and you didn't do it, what's the difference between that and not saying it?"

"My friend, you are right, but now the young city lord won't even give me a chance, how can I prove it with my actions?"

"Okay, since Elder Wang has said so," Zeng Wenyu looked at Li Pingping who was eating cakes on the side, "Pingping, why don't you just believe Elder Wang?"

"Brother Gao, I'll give you this face," Li Pingping looked at Wang Ying, "In this case, I need Patriarch Wang to help me do one thing. As long as this thing is done, when the people from the Central Imperial City arrive, I promise to let the Wang family keep a part of it."
