Hua Qingyan is undoubtedly very calm.

Huaqingyan is not large in scale, it can only be considered a small sac. Those who come here are usually lay disciples recruited by Master Yanzhong. Of course, there are also some pilgrims, but they cannot be compared with those big temples at all.

But today, Huaqingyan is very lively.

When Jiang Xu arrived, the square outside Huaqingyan was already full of all kinds of vehicles, and they were all luxury cars or some special vehicles.

Around you, you can see some celebrities gathering together and talking everywhere.

These celebrities are not just from Ningcheng, many of them come from other cities, among which many come from Yanjing.

Among these people are government officials, calligraphers and painters, merchants and collectors, etc. Many of them have a very high reputation in China.

Before Jiang Xu's vehicle stopped, Liu Zhining's eyes were already looking at an old man sitting in a wheelchair not far ahead, and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Ye would come here in person this time. Jiang Xu, look at the old man sitting on the wheel seat in front. He is the most famous philanthropist and collector in China, and one of my master's best friends."

Listening to what Liu Zhining said, Jiang Xu's eyes also fell on Mr. Ye.

He was an old man who was already in his twilight years, and he had almost no time left. However, Mr. Ye made Jiang Xu feel a little curious. On Mr. Ye, he actually sensed a faint breath of vitality, and was calming down Mr. Ye's disappearing vitality.

This kind of vitality breath can only be seen by a doctor like Jiang Xu, who has a good vision, and it is also a relatively ancient way to extend his life.

Jiang Xu did not expect that this ancient method of extending his life would be passed down. However, the person who extended his life for Mr. Ye obviously did not fully grasp it, so the vitality seemed very weak.

If Jiang Xu took action, the vitality would definitely be more than ten times stronger.

Of course, this life-extending method naturally cannot be compared with the life-extending golden needle, and can only slow down the time of death. The body will still become weaker and weaker, and the delay time will generally not exceed one year.

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Xu drove the car directly to an empty seat not far away.

Then, Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining got out of the car together.

Liu Zhining's identity is still very hidden, and few people know Liu Zhining's identity. Even the other disciples of Mr. Pingyin do not know Liu Zhining's true identity.

Needless to say, Jiang Xu, almost no one in the audience knew Jiang Xu.

Therefore, the arrival of Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining did not attract much attention.

Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining were undoubtedly more willing to see this situation. After taking the picture, Liu Zhining took Jiang Xu directly into Huaqingyan and went to find her master Pingyin Jushi.

--------------------------------------

Mr. Pingyin’s home is next to Huaqingyan. However, Mr. Pingyin usually stays in Huaqingyan. Most of the time, she usually recites Buddha’s name with her master.

On days like today, lay Buddhists Pingyin will basically stay in Huaqingyan.

Because today, Mr. Pingyin has to entertain many guests. Although the birthday party was held by her disciples for her, many of the guests who came were friends or friends of Mr. Pingyin. If you don’t greet him, it would naturally be extremely rude.

"Junior sister, you are here."

Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining entered Huaqingyan and immediately saw a young man in his thirties walking out of it. The young man was extremely elegant and his dress was very literary. As soon as he saw Liu Zhining, the young man greeted him very enthusiastically.

This young man is Zhang Yujie, the second apprentice of Pingyin lay Buddhist. He is a rising star in the Chinese calligraphy and painting world and has some reputation.

While speaking, Zhang Yujie's gaze glanced at Jiang Xu faintly.

With Jiang Xu's keen gaze, he could naturally catch a trace of hostility flashing in Zhang Yujie's eyes. However, he did not show anything, but just pretended that he had not seen it.

"Second Brother, thank you for your hard work in this banquet." Liu Zhining said to Zhang Yujie with a smile.

Although he didn't have much contact, he was a senior brother after all, and Liu Zhining still gave Zhang Yujie enough respect. Besides being arrogant and more arrogant, Zhang Yujie is also pretty good in other aspects.

Of course, he was able to become the apprentice of Mr. Pingyin, and his talent in calligraphy and painting was still very good.

"What does this hard work mean? It's just once a year. The master has taught me so much. It's rare to be able to do something for the master. No matter how hard or tired it is, it's worth it."

Zhang Yujie is obviously very good at speaking. After saying this, he not only showed respect for his master, but also showed how noble his efforts were.

This was nothing. The only thing that made Jiang Xu a little unhappy was that Zhang Yujie was obviously deliberately approaching Liu Zhining when he was speaking, and when he was speaking, his eyes were almost staring at Liu Zhining without blinking, as if it was stuck.

Liu Zhining obviously realized Zhang Yujie's approaching. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and then approached Jiang Xu without any trace.

Zhang Yujie was obviously aware of his misconduct, and quickly stepped back with a smile, then deliberately directed the topic to Jiang Xu and asked: "Zhi Ning, who is this friend? It seems to be a bit disgusting."

"His name is Jiang Xu, and he is my boyfriend."

Liu Zhining responded very simply that her relationship with Jiang Xu had been confirmed, and naturally she would not hide anything from outsiders, especially for people like Zhang Yujie.

Listening to what Liu Zhining said, a look of loss flashed in Zhang Yujie's eyes, but more of it was jealousy.

The hostility in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Xu was obviously much stronger.

However, Zhang Yujie also has a certain degree of cleverness. He did not reveal it on the surface. Instead, he actively extended his hand to Jiang Xu, and then introduced himself: "Jiang Xu, hello, my name is Zhang Yujie, and I am Zhining's second senior brother."

"Hello."

Jiang Xu shook hands with Zhang Yujie simply, but Zhang Yujie showed nothing, so Jiang Xu naturally hid deeper.

However, Jiang Xu did not take people like Zhang Yujie seriously at all. For him, Zhang Yujie was not even considered an opponent because there was no comparison between him and Zhang Yujie.

Zhang Yujie obviously did not mean to leave, but asked: "Jiang Xu, you should be a businessman, I don't know what business you are doing now. I know some friends. They are all here today, or I can introduce you to you."

Jiang Xu's dress has now matured. Coupled with his transcendent temperament, it is difficult to see Jiang Xu's real age from his appearance. He looks more like a twenty-six or seven-year-old young man.

As for Jiang Xu's clothes, they were bought for him when Xiao Ziqing and Liu Zhining were shopping. They were a casual set of beans, which seemed to be some international famous brand, worn on Jiang Xu. But they felt a bit like a noble young man.

"No, I'm not a businessman."

Jiang Xu directly purged Zhang Yujie's kindness and did not intend to say anything more.

Liu Zhining knew that Jiang Xu must have annoyed Zhang Yujie, but Zhang Yujie was her senior brother after all. For the sake of the master's face, she didn't want to embarrass Zhang Yujie too much, so she said, "Second Brother, Master, please be inside. Jiang Xu and I will go in first to see the master and chat when we have time."

As he said that, Liu Zhining didn't wait for Zhang Yujie to say anything, but directly took Jiang Xu's arm and walked towards Yan Nei.

Zhang Yujie opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

However, looking at the intimate appearance of Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining, the jealous expression in his eyes suddenly became stronger.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yujie has been in love with Liu Zhining for some time, but he has never had any chance to get close to Liu Zhining, especially in recent years, Liu Zhining has come here very few times.

He also wanted to go to Yanjing to find Liu Zhining, and for this reason he also joined Bige, but he still didn't have much chance to contact Liu Zhining. As for contacting him, it was even more of an invisible torture.

If you talk about serious business, Liu Zhining would say a few words to him, but as long as it is not serious business, Liu Zhining would basically find excuses to hang up his phone.

So for so many years, Zhang Yujie has no chance to pursue Liu Zhining. This time, he rarely saw Liu Zhining, and the other party actually brought his boyfriend. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhang Yujie. He couldn't do it if he wanted to be jealous.

After waiting for Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining's figures to disappear in front of him, Zhang Yujie then withdrew his gaze.

However, just as Zhang Yujie was about to walk outside, a figure happened to walk in from outside.

"Hey, isn't this Si Chen?"

Zhang Yujie finally recognized the other party's identity.

The person coming was Li Sichen.

Li Sichen came here alone. Xuemao didn't like this kind of public occasion, and her outfit would look very special, so she didn't come with Li Sichen.

Zhang Yujie and Li Sichen also knew each other. Both were members of Bige. Li Sichen knew that Zhang Yujie was Liu Zhining's senior brother, so he had deliberately approached him. He also knew that Zhang Yujie liked Liu Zhining.

However, Li Sichen didn't take Zhang Yujie to heart at all.

To him, Zhang Yujie is also not a level opponent. He can completely ignore the existence of a small person like Zhang Yujie.

On the surface, Li Sichen was quite polite to Zhang Yujie. Listening to Zhang Yujie's greeting, he asked, "Brother Zhang, are you going out?"

Zhang Yujie responded: "A few Mingzhu's friends have come over. I'll go and greet me. By the way, Si Chen, you are here to meet my master."

"Yes, I just got a picture of Mount Tai recently. My copying skills are pretty good. I happened to give it to Mr. Pingyin as a birthday gift." Li Sichen smiled slightly, and in his hand he was carrying the picture box of Mount Tai.

"It turned out to be the ultimate map of Mount Tai."

Zhang Yujie's eyes suddenly lit up, perhaps because of the influence of Mr. Pingyin. He also had a special preference for the Taoist priest.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yujie said directly: "Si Chen. Then I'll go to see the master with you."

"OK."

Li Sichen naturally would not refuse anything, so he agreed happily. Then, he asked seemingly unintentionally: "Brother Zhang, have your senior brother and sister come back this time?"

"My senior brother has not come back. He is now abroad, but my junior sister has returned and has just entered." Zhang Yujie did not doubt anything. He dared not to hide anything and said truthfully.

"Oh, let's go in."

Li Sichen did not ask anything else, but walked towards Yannei with Zhang Yujie.

-----------------------------------------

In a side hall in Yan'ei, Jiang Xu met Liu Zhining's master, Mr. Pingyin.

Mr. Pingyin is a woman in her fifties, very thin, wearing a plain robe. Her black hair is tied high, and her hands are holding a string of brown Buddhist beads.

Mr. Pingyin has very ordinary facial features, but it gives people a very peaceful feeling. Moreover, her temperament is very good, elegant and extraordinary, with a calm and elegant demeanor.

When Jiang Xu and Liu Zhining arrived, Mr. Pingyin happened to chat with a friend who came from another place.

"master."

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Zhining shouted sweetly to Mr. Pingyin.

Seeing Liu Zhining, a gentle smile appeared on the thin face of Mr. Pingyin, and then said softly: "It turned out to be Zhining. When did you come here? Why don't you say to your teacher in advance?"

"I've been here for a few days. Master, you won't blame me for not coming to see you, right?" Liu Zhining's tone obviously felt a little more apologetic.

Mr. Pingyin obviously loved Liu Zhining very much. She stroked Liu Zhining's hair and said, "Child, why would you blame you for being a teacher? You have grown up and should have your own life. As long as you have me as a master in your heart."
