Roadside noodle shop.

Qi Chen has been away from Yuxiaolou these days for fear of causing trouble there.

At this time, he was eating a bowl of shredded pork noodles. There were so few shredded pork noodles that you could hardly see them, and they were gone in just a few bites.

The noodles were not fragrant, and he missed Suisui's shredded pork noodles.

If Suisui is a demon, she probably doesn't know how to cook noodles. After all, I've never heard of demons cooking noodles.

So he smiled reassuringly.

The noodle shop was set up in a tent on the roadside. It was not a prosperous area to begin with, and no one was there to take care of it.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, bringing with it a desolate atmosphere, but it didn't rain, which was a good thing.

Qi Chen drank the last sip of soup. His childhood experience taught him never to waste any food.

Suddenly, he raised his head and saw Song Zhiyu appearing with a briefcase under his arm.

The other party was obviously a little surprised that Qi Chen was here.

Song Zhiyu was a little embarrassed, with a few scratches on his neck and messy hair. He was wearing leather shoes on one foot and a household slipper on the other.

But when he saw Qi Chen, he forced himself to calm down and became very calm.

"Did your wife kick you out of the house?" Qi Chen asked casually.

"Hitting someone is not a slap in the face!" Song Zhiyu sat down angrily and ordered a bowl of noodles.

Qi Chen couldn't imagine that this grandmaster was still afraid of his wife.

"I didn't expect you to be so poor." Qi Chen said bluntly. The neighborhood was far away from the urban area, and Song Zhiyu obviously lived nearby.

Song Zhiyu sighed, grabbed her hair with her hands, and said mournfully: "Do you think it's easy for me? I work overtime every day, and my monthly salary is only 10,000 yuan. I also have to pay off the mortgage, my daughter's milk powder, and diapers...

.I haven’t practiced properly for a long time.”

"What a sad master..." Qi Chen's eyes were strange.

The boss brought a bowl of noodles and said with a smile: "Old Song, why did your wife kick you out again? Men, you have to be bold."

The word "again" was used well, making Song Zhiyu blush.

He took a big mouthful of noodles and said, "I know what you want to ask. Although I am a master, I am tired. This world is very complicated, but I just want to live a simpler life."

"Except for being a master, I am just an ordinary person."

"Are you going to kill someone tonight?" Song Zhiyu suddenly said, but very casually, "There is no killing intention in your eyes, and there is no killing intention in your body, just because you are too calm. Instead of killing people, why don't you go to play mahjong."

Qi Chen smiled and said: "Those who can become a master are indeed not simple people."

"Where are you going?"

"Xia family."

"Ahem..." Song Zhiyu's face was stuck in his throat, causing him to cough.

"What happened? Are you going to Xia's house?"

Qi Chen said briefly.

Song Zhiyu frowned. The wind outside made his hair messy. After being silent for a long time, a hint of uneasiness gradually appeared in his eyes.

"You underestimate the Xia family too much, and you underestimate Baili Kang too."

Qi Chen was surprised and waited.

Wen, because he knew that although he was a master, he was inferior to the other party in terms of experience and understanding of the situation in the Demon City.

Song Zhiyu's mouth was full of oil: "Bilikang, how should I say, he is related to the Xia family. Part of the funds for the maintenance office here come from the Xia family."

"You deliberately left the elixir in order to have a legitimate excuse to cause trouble for the Xia family. But if the Xia family uses the remaining elixir, it can make Baili Kang speak. If you can't speak, you can still do it.

To shut up."

"Perhaps now, the Xia family already knows the news that you are the grand master."

"Although I haven't stayed in the Maintenance Department for a long time, I still know the work habits of the Maintenance Department. The Xia family has been a bit restless in recent years, especially this time with Insect Valley, which made the Maintenance Department very uneasy.

"

"So, you become a knife."

"In short, the relationship inside is very complicated. I just left back then to avoid getting into trouble."

"The repair office won't help, and Worm Valley is far away. Even if the Xia family is prepared, I'm afraid they won't be able to do everything in such a short period of time." Qi Chen felt a little scared, but he was still relieved. Even if the other party has thermal weapons,

But I already knew in advance that they were prepared, so I wouldn't be careless.

"It's definitely not that simple for the Xia family to be able to stand in the devil's capital for decades. Although Mrs. Xia is old, her connections are also very terrifying."

"Although it is not a family like the Chi family that can make even the maintenance department fear it, who can be simple now?"

"What's more, during the whole hot summer, Kyoto has the most monks, and the second most monks are the Demon City."

"The Maintenance Office is letting things go, and it concerns Worm Valley. I'm afraid there will be bloodshed today."

"Do you think I will die?" Qi Chen curled his lips.

Song Zhiyu wiped his mouth and had already finished a bowl of noodles: "I don't know, but monks are not omnipotent. In this era, there are too many ways to kill monks, even if they reach the level of a grand master."

"Unless you can really become an immortal."

"The boss pays the bill." Qi Chen paid for Song Zhiyu together.

Song Zhiyu scratched his head in embarrassment. Usually his wife was very strict and had little money.

The wind blew on me, making me feel a little cold.

Qi Chen didn't expect that he would stay in the magic city for so long. Fortunately, Suisui was independent since she was a child, so there was no need to worry.

"Are you going now? I'll see you off. After that, you have to go back and coax your wife."

"Are you seeing me off? Why do I feel like you are attending my funeral?" Qi Chen said helplessly, "How about you go with me? If your life is really in danger, you will take action. If not, then you will stay by the side.

Look, I treated you to a bowl of noodles after all."

Song Zhiyu smiled bitterly and said, "The price of your bowl of noodles is really high. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have eaten it."

"You know, I have ignored these disputes for a long time, especially those involving the maintenance office and the Xia family. In fact, I disapprove of you going to the Xia family today. If you die, I will be very sad. The Xia family

If it falls, I will be very sad."

Qi Chen looked at the other party in confusion.

"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Because my current job is in the Xia family's company, you will make me lose my job!"

Qi Chen: "..."

"I wish you unemployment." Qi Chen patted his shoulder.

Song Zhiyu glared at him fiercely: "It's not easy for middle-aged people. I think it's better if you die, or I can just hold you back now."

"You haven't practiced for too long and you can't hold me back."

"I hate your straightforwardness."

Qi Chen waved his hand and walked towards the Xia family's old house.

"You will come." Qi Chen's voice came from far away.

"Why?"

"I saw you had a bloody disaster."

Song Zhiyu curled his lips, maybe he was bleeding from his wife when he returned home later.

…

Song Zhiyu's home is not big, 90 square meters, and there are three people in his family.

The aroma of food wafted out from the crack in the door.

Song Zhiyu stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then finally opened the door and entered.

"Do you know if you're coming back?" A beautiful young woman sat on the sofa holding a baby. "I left some food for you, but it seems unnecessary. I ate it outside."

"Hey, wife, I happened to meet a friend and was treated to a bowl of noodles." Song Zhiyu scratched his head.

"Since someone invited me, I naturally have to return the invitation," the young woman said.

"Just a bowl of noodles, let's talk about it when we meet again in the future." Song Zhiyu looked out the window and sighed.

"It's better to repay favors as soon as possible. Go back as soon as possible. I'll leave the door open for you tonight."

Song Zhiyu was stunned, looking at his wife and daughter, with warmth in his heart.

For the sake of this family, he allowed his wife to leave the maintenance office and live an ordinary life.
