"Sir, I know you want to beat Qingyi, but you can't do it due to your status," Li Ke said seriously: "I, a student, can do all of this."
"I didn't mean that," Qingchen said with a smile.
"I understand," Li Ke said.
Qingchen said in his heart that this guy is indeed righteous at heart, but he is not pedantic.
He thought to himself that maybe the old man also saw this, so he sent the other party to him.
But, does Li Ke know what kind of road that is?
That is a road with a narrow escape from death. Don’t embark on it if you are not prepared.
Qingchen did not agree to Li Ke, nor did he refuse. He just said: "What you want to do is your own business. Whether you want to teach you or not is also my business."
After saying that, he maintained a strange breathing rate and continued to lie on the recliner, immersed in the mysterious world.
The first session of breathing techniques was conducted at the same time as the sniper rifle training. Qingchen was growing rapidly and was experiencing the joy of growth.
Qingchen didn't have the opportunity to play games like other students before, but now he feels as if he's playing a game to level up, and he's full of a sense of reward.
Although it is winter, the knight's skin and blood circulation in his body are different from ordinary people, so he does not feel cold.
Li Ke, who was standing by, saw that his husband was ignoring him and he didn't say anything.
Not only that, he also took out fresh winter peaches from the refrigerator, washed them, and placed them on the stone table next to Qingchen.
Then he returned to the kitchen and continued picking vegetables for cooking.
There are skilled knife skills in the kitchen, and the frequency of chopping vegetables sounds like an expert.
Qingchen ignored it, and there was nothing surprising about it.
Soon, Li Ke prepared four dishes and one soup and brought them to the stone table, including the arowana.
At this moment, footsteps sounded again outside the door.
Qingchen opened his eyes and saw unfamiliar footsteps.
Boom, boom, boom, someone said outside the courtyard gate: "Hello, is Mr. Xixi here?"
Li Ke glanced at Qingchen: "Sir, shall I open the door?"
"Go ahead," Qingchen nodded.
I saw two servants outside the door, each carrying a gift box in their left and right hands, and they didn't know what they contained.
The two servants were stunned when they saw Li Ke. Then they looked at Li Ke's apron and sleeves, then glanced at the food on the stone table, and immediately realized what was going on.
For Mr. Li, there is also a difference between servants and servants. Those who are not discerning cannot enter the Banshan Manor.
When the servants in the manor go out to face the servants outside, they are all superior to them.
Although the contents of the labor contracts signed by everyone are the same.
They have realized that the food on the stone table was cooked by Li Ke himself!
But who is Li Ke? He is the most anticipated third-generation descendant in the Li family's family at the moment, and he is also the favorite biological son of the man in charge of the family.
The Li family opens an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors every New Year's Eve. Last year's ancestor worship was the ancestral hall that Li Ke entered on behalf of the Li family's family.
The servants all know that those who can represent a house in the ancestral hall have their own opinions.
And now, such a direct descendant who is qualified to represent a family in the ancestral hall has gone to this remote courtyard to cook for a teacher?
The teaching status of the school is indeed high, but it is not as high as this!
Li Ke glanced at the servant: "You are from the second room, right? I have seen you, what are you doing here, sir?"
"Ah," the servant said quickly, "our boss heard that the instructor of the martial arts hall moved to a new residence, so he sent us to deliver the congratulatory gift."
Li Ke pointed to the corner of the yard: "Put it there. I'll help you sort it out later. Wait, there are only four gifts. I'll go back and tell you about four more gifts. Do you understand the etiquette?"
"Hey, OK, OK," the servant said quickly, "Let's go back and talk now."
Li Ke, who was respectful in front of Qingchen, had a natural aura of a superior when facing servants.
At that time, the Li Group had an innate sense of superiority, and they were held in high esteem since they were born.
However, at this time, the 14-year-old boy was wearing sleeves and an apron. No matter how he looked at it, Qingchen felt that it did not match the aura of the superior person.
The servants left, Qingchen didn't say a word from beginning to end, it was all handled by Li Ke.
Not long after, when the servant came back, several people came carrying twelve boxes of gifts, making up sixteen of them!
It was twice as much as the eight portions Li Ke had requested just now.
The servants said: "I'm sorry it was our mistake just now. I apologize to you."
Li Ke said: "Okay, put the things aside and don't disturb Mr.'s purity."
"Understood," the servants retreated one after another.
After a while, the other houses of the Li family didn't know what news they had received, but they all sent people, and each house sent sixteen gifts.
Not only that, the first batch was delivered by servants, the second batch was delivered by students in person, and the third batch was delivered by parents with students.
Etiquette is becoming more and more solemn, and no one is willing to do worse than others.
All these gift givers have one thing in common, that is, after entering Qiuye Villa, their eyes will glance back and forth in front of Qingchen and Li Ke.
Trying to judge the relationship between Qingchen and Li Ke.
Qingchen looked at the pile of gifts piled up in the corner, and he even felt a little weird.
Is this the sophistication of people in the consortium?
The world Qingchen experienced outside the Banshan Manor was completely different from the world he experienced inside the Banshan Manor.
After everyone left, the Qiuye Villa returned to its tranquility during the day.
"Sir," Li Ke said, "I am counting the gifts here. You should eat first, otherwise the food will get cold in a while."
"You come and eat too," Qingchen said calmly.
"No, I can't serve on the table while Mr. is eating," Li Ke said.
"Come here," Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Okay," Li Ke wiped his hands, took off his sleeves and apron, and sat on the edge of the stone table.
"You are the proud son of Li's family, why do you know how to cook?" Qingchen asked.
Li Ke explained: "I am very curious about everything and want to try everything. In fact, I now want to see the world outside the city, but unfortunately my parents have not allowed me, saying that it is dangerous outside. But Sister Yinuo promised me
, he will take me out to play during the spring hunting next year."
Qingchen didn’t expect that besides autumn hunting there would also be spring hunting.
While the aboriginal people in the outside world are still struggling, the children of the consortium have long lived a life of walking dogs, entertaining birds, and watching black boxing.
Qingchen asked: "I see you are bossing around those servants, but you are respectful to me. Why?"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment: "It has always been like this, and so is the family. Servants are just tools."
"No, they are also human beings. Their status may be different, but their personalities are equal." Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Today I will teach you a lesson. Only when you can learn to stay humble when facing those who are inferior to you can you learn to be humble."
It is true self-cultivation. The law of the jungle is the law of nature, but if you exclude some animal attributes, civilization is called civilization."
Li Ke pondered: "What you said makes sense, but I still need to get used to it and accept it."
"Let's eat," Qingchen nodded and said.
To be honest, the longer he spends in the inner world, the more he can feel the difference in thinking between the outer world and the inner world. This is because the consortium has controlled the world for too long.
During the meal, the arowana was placed on the table, but Li Ke didn't move a single chopstick.
After the meal, he went to wash the dishes. While washing, he asked: "Sir, aren't you going to school this week? In your absence, Qingyi skipped class this afternoon. The main reason is that he does not belong to the Li family and teaches the gentlemen.
I don’t really want to care about him.”
"It's up to you," Qingchen said calmly as he lay back on the recliner, "I see there is a dishwasher in the kitchen, why don't you use it?"
Li Ke said: "It takes dozens of minutes for the dishwasher to finish washing these things. It only takes me a few minutes to do it myself."
"Do you really want to learn something?" Qingchen asked.
"I think," Li Ke nodded while standing by the pool.
"Starting tomorrow morning, at 6 o'clock in the morning, you go door to door to call out all those classmates, and then run five kilometers before going to school," Qingchen said.
He didn't say what he was doing, but he just ran away and it was over.
Let's see if we can persist first.
In addition, not every student is willing to do gymnastics in the morning. Whether Li Ke can call everyone out depends on his own ability.
"By the way, whose residence was this Qiuye Villa before?" Qingchen asked.
Li Ke replied: "My grandfather left it to his mentor. It is said that the mentor taught him many principles of life. This Qiuye Villa has been empty for many years. Grandpa always spends a few days every year in Qiuye Villa.
Stay here for one night to mourn my mentor."
"I see."
In fact, Qingchen himself didn't know about Qiuye Villa, but most people in the Li family knew about it.
This is one of the reasons why he was so crowded tonight.
Qingchen guessed wrong on this point. Qiuye Courtyard had nothing to do with Li Shutong.
"Sir, let me remind you again that you can put your change of clothes in the clothes basket in the west wing. If you have nothing to do here, I will go back first," Li Ke said.
"Well, come back," Qingchen said.
Li Ke bowed to Qingchen and left.
At this moment, the news about Li Ke, who lives in the Li family's house, is working as a servant in Mr. Xi's house has been spread throughout the Banshan Manor.
In the eyes of the outside world, Mr. Li is a behemoth who can crush most things in the world.
However, in the Mid-Levels Manor, it is just a complex mansion with all kinds of people in it, and what everyone likes the most is gossip.
The core question of the gossip now is why Li Ke willingly went to Qiuye Courtyard and did things that only servants would do.
Why?
But no one is a fool, and many things may become clearer when they are linked together.
First of all, it is not easy for the old man to give the arowana as a gift. After all, everyone knows how precious the arowana is.
Secondly, Li Ke is the old man’s favorite grandson, so when Li Ke did this, was there any guidance from the old man behind him?
This correlation is so strong that it is very convincing.
But the question is, why does the old man favor this tutor with a foreign surname so much? What is so special about him?
Wait, Qingchen lives in Qiuye Villa?
Over the years, various villas have been assigned to various housemates, but only the Akiba villa has remained, and no one has lived there.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the special status of Akiba Villa is the same as that of Arowana.
When no one was around at night, Qingchen took a look at the gift list compiled by Li Ke. He found that Li's people were quite generous and didn't give away any useless things. They were all gold jewelry, bracelets, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and anklets.
Golden locks, pure gold peace cards, golden Bodhisattvas, golden Buddhas...
There are also many statues of gods that Qingchen can't name. They are probably mixed beliefs in the other world.
This is a very realistic era. Gifts are all things that can be converted into cash and should not be flashy.
Looking at this gift list, Qingchen even wanted to go to the old man tomorrow and tell him to find another place to live.
Another housewarming celebration.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Is anyone here?" The person outside the door was smiling, it was Li Changqing.
Qingchen went to open the courtyard door, but saw Li Changqing looking at him with a feigned resentment and saying: "As for it, I was the one who introduced you to the martial arts hall after all. The old man arranged a new residence for you, and you actually came from my place that day."
After moving out, I still have to hesitate."
Qingchen said in his heart that if the old man really misunderstood something, something might happen if he didn't move...
He smiled and said: "Are you done with your work?"
"No, how can it be so easy to finish the work?" Li Changqing put aside his resentment and said with a smile: "Why, don't you invite me in to sit down?"
Li Changqing came alone, still carrying the black box used to contain the genetic medicine.
She thrust the box into Qingchen's hands: "I happen to be busy too, so I won't accompany you to administer the genetic potion in person from now on. I'll leave it all to you."
"Thank you," Qingchen said sincerely.
Speaking of which, Li Changqing is one of the few people in the world who really treats him sincerely. You must know that if this set of genetic medicines were exchanged for money, it would be enough for many people to spend a lifetime.
Moreover, this thing cannot be measured by money.
It is enough to completely shape a B-level master. Even Li Changqing's private deployment requires a written report to the Li family.
Qingchen had already thought of its use, and finally decided to give it to Liu Dezhu.
In the battle of Xiancheng, although Liu Dezhu never fought, the opponent's cooperation was almost 100%, and he perfectly executed his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Qingchen knew very well that at that time Liu Dezhu was afraid in his heart. After all, even a C-level master was afraid of being assassinated.
However, Liu Dezhu went anyway.
For this reason, Qingchen also needs to improve the opponent's strength.
The fire element of the B-level genetic warrior has awakened. In most cases, Liu Dezhu is qualified to play the role of protector, at least one of the protectors of the day.
Qingchen looked at Li Changqing and said sincerely again: "Thank you. It seems that I have never said thank you seriously, but you are really good to me."
Li Changqing glanced at him: "You have a conscience, okay, I won't say more, I have to go out again, I have a meeting to hold. In addition, I would like to remind you that this Qiuye Courtyard is very important to the old man, you
Pay attention. By the way, although you are valued by the old man now, you are still my bodyguard in name. If something happens to me, you have to come and save me."
"Okay," Qingchen agreed seriously.
"Let's go," Li Changqing said and left.
Qingchen looked at the woman's back as she turned away gracefully, and suddenly became thoughtful.
After closing the courtyard door, Qingchen began to walk around the courtyard.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he began to search the house again.
There are no abnormalities in the east wing.
There is no abnormality in the west wing.
Until...he finally twitched a certain book in the bookcase.
There was a click, and a floor tile that was originally a tight fit suddenly sank toward the ground, and a mechanical sound could be heard throughout the house.
After the floor tile sank, it became part of a long staircase.
The long and deep corridor is right in front of Qingchen.
The ever-burning tritium lamps hang on both sides of the corridor, like torches in the corridor.
Qingchen stared at this scene in confusion, and finally realized why the old man wanted to leave this Qiuye Villa to him.
It turns out that there are other secrets in this Akiba Villa.
He was a little dumbfounded. When Li Shutong left Prison No. 18, he left through a tunnel, and that prison and tunnel were also built by Li.
How much did the ancestors of the Li family like to build tunnels?
Qingchen walked down, and the long corridor seemed to have no end. He felt the sound of wind whistling, and from time to time he could see thin ventilation shafts above the corridor.
Where does this corridor lead to?
Li's secret treasure house?
Or Li's secret prison?
Qingchen calculated that he had walked about three kilometers before an upward staircase suddenly appeared in the corridor.
He was silent for a moment before finally walking up.
suddenly see the light.
Surprisingly, at the end of the passage, there is just an old house. There is nothing unusual except that it is extremely spacious.
There are no treasures and no secret prisons.
Qingchen walked to the window and looked out, and was shocked to find that he had walked out of Banshan Manor!
The Qiuye Villa was originally on the edge of the manor, but this tunnel actually led directly to the outside world!
"Wait a minute," Qingchen said in a daze: "No wonder the old man often goes to Qiuye Villa to mourn his mentor. I'm afraid he doesn't take this opportunity to sneak out to do things every time."
What does the teacher teach you the principles of life? What does it say about mourning the teacher? In fact, the Qiuye Villa is the secret passage that the old man left for himself.
In the past few decades, the other party has passed through there to leave the place where he was 'imprisoned' in the Mid-Levels Manor.
Just like in the popular Chinese novel, the emperor also wanted to visit privately incognito. For the wasteland, the palace is not a prison.
Qingchen felt that every time the old man spent the night in Qiuye Villa, he was actually sneaking out to play!
Maybe he would secretly go out to buy wine, eat twice-cooked pork, and enjoy the bustling nightlife of City No. 18.
Sure enough, the big guys in the consortium are very thoughtful!
The old man has been telling this lie for decades, and everyone who told it has believed it, absolutely! The city is too deep!
But for some reason, the old man's image in Qingchen's eyes suddenly became inappropriate.
After all, who decent person needs tunnels to escape from their home?
However, the old man left the Qiuye Villa to himself, perhaps because he was waiting for him to discover the secret and then have the convenience of entering and exiting the Mid-Levels Manor at will.
Even if Qingchen caused trouble in City No. 18 in the future, who would have thought that it was him who was supposed to be in Banshan Manor?
"It's quite interesting. All the secrets of such a treasure have been passed on to me," Qingchen smiled. He searched around the house and found 7 car keys: "The old man is really good at playing!"
