Xiao Xingxing and Chu Li went back without eating lunch.
On the way back, Chu Li remained silent.
Little Xingxing patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be downcast. You won't live long or anything. Just listen. Besides, I'm young now and I won't die soon."
Chu Li suddenly looked at her.
His eyes were fixed, "Don't say that word."
"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't say it anymore. Brother, be happy. It's still very rewarding to come today."
"..." Chu Li felt that this trip was in vain.
Let's just forget that the problem that needs to be solved is not solved, and it only adds to the congestion.
Little Xingxing leaned against the car wall and changed the subject, "How did you meet Master Enlightenment?"
"A few years ago, I was assassinated. After being poisoned, there was no cure, and I was about to die. Master Wu found the palace of Prince Li, and he gave up half his life's internal energy to me, so I barely managed to save my life."
"Well, that old monk is quite kind."
"He said my life should not be cut off, and he also said..." Little Xingxing looked at him with her chin in her hands. She did not ask any further questions and waited quietly for his next words. Chu Li only hesitated slightly and repeated what Master Wu realized at that time.
"They said that my existence is related to Tiansheng's future fortune. They also said that I have a vague dragon energy in me."
Dragon energy?
Little Xingxing was taken aback, "He means that you...will become the emperor in the future?"
"Um."
"..." Little Xingxing was confused.
According to the current situation, the chances of Chu Mohan and Chu Yichen becoming emperors are relatively high. No matter how you look at it, the throne will not fall to Chu Li.
But...that old monk is indeed quite capable.
She had been hugging Chu Mohan's thigh before, hoping that Chu Mohan would be able to protect her after he became emperor. Could it be that... she was hugging the wrong thigh?
Little Star was confused.
After a moment of silence, she reached out and poked Chu Li's arm, "Well, what do you think?"
Chu Li said without hesitation, "I'm not interested in that seat."
"real?"
"Realer than real gold."
"Let me make a hypothetical, hypothetical...what if one day you are pushed to that position by force?"
"It's hard to be the emperor if you want to be, but it's not easy if you don't want to be the emperor."
Chu Li said without emotion, "Let him go, or pick a smart kid from the clan and find a few veterans to assist him."
"This...is a bit hasty."
"I am careless. What does Tiansheng's future have to do with the people and me?"
Chu Li sneered, "My blood is cold. I won't do anything I don't like for the sake of people I don't know at all."
"..." Little Xingxing choked, "Then you donated money to the refugees in the name of Prince Li's Mansion some time ago?"
Chu Li looked at her deeply, "I'm not here for those refugees."
so.
He did this purely for her.
Thump! Thump! Little Star's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.
She couldn't stand Chu Li's fiery gaze, so she smiled dryly and looked away, "Haha, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm willing to do anything for you."
Chu Li smiled and said, "I'm quite happy to be able to share your worries."
"..." Little Xingxing couldn't bear it. She licked her lips, "Have you really never been in love?"
"fall in love?"
"Just do what you like with the girl you like."
"If this is the love you talk about!"
Chu Li looked at her with a smile, "Then I'm talking."
"..." She was actually! Fell! Little Xingxing's blood surged.
Damn it.
Why is this vixen so seductive?
And he is self-taught without a teacher.
Who can withstand this?
Little Xingxing dared to continue this topic, so she quickly turned her head away to avoid his burning gaze.
...The carriage galloped all the way.
After not eating much all day, Chu Li didn't let Chang Ye go back to Xingchen Mansion immediately, but drove to the First Floor in the World.
There are very few refugees outside the city, and most of the people who stayed outside the city to help have returned.
So Tian Xia No. 1 officially resumed business today.
It hasn't been open for a while, but now that it's open, business is booming.
During this time, there were some stir-fries in the capital that imitated the dishes of Tian Xia No. 1, but unfortunately, their seasonings were not as rich as those of Tian Xia No. 1, and the taste was naturally not as good as Tian Xia No. 1.
Coupled with Tian Xia No. 1's previous rescue of refugees, it has successfully gained goodwill in the hearts of the people.
All the reasons add up.
Now the business on the first floor of the world is more prosperous than before.
It was obviously not a meal at this time, and the dine-in seats on the first floor were already full. Fortunately, Xiaoxing had reserved a private room for himself on the second floor. In order to prevent others from gossiping, Xiaoxing and Chu left the upstairs.
The first floor is very lively.
But because there are regulations on the first floor of the world, no noise is allowed during meals, so it is lively but not noisy.
Didn't eat all day.
Little Xingxing was so hungry that she closed her eyes and ordered a table of food without even looking at the menu.
"Hurry up and serve the food, your boss is going to starve to death."
"OK, wait."
The waiter walked out of the private room holding the menu, and suddenly an idea came to Little Xingxing.
Why is she so stupid?
She can get some food from the space to fill her belly first.
How could I forget this one?
Anyway, Chu Li knew that her bracelet could store things, and she didn't shy away from it. She immediately reached for the bracelet, and Chu Li quickly held her wrist with quick eyes and hands. His face darkened, "What are you doing?"
Little Xingxing was startled by him and stammered, "Here, get something to eat to cushion your stomach."
"Master, you have forgotten that taking things from another dimension may affect your lifespan."
"But... those are all the master's guesses, and they may not be true."
"no!"
Chu Li's attitude was resolute, "Even if there is only the slightest possibility, we must put an end to it."
"..." Little Xingxing rubbed her belly and said pitifully, "I'm hungry..." Chu Li's tone softened, "Just be patient, we've all arrived at the restaurant, and the food will be delivered soon."
Come up."
Little Star sighed.
All right.
Chu Li was doing it for her own good, and she appreciated it.
The window is open.
The aroma of the dine-in food drifted in through the window, making little Xingxing even hungrier.
She walked to the window and was about to close it to block out the fragrance downstairs. Suddenly, she stared at a person downstairs, her eyes widening in shock.
"That guy...why does that guy look so familiar?"
"..." Chu Li pushed the wheelchair over, glanced down the window, and fell silent.
downstairs.
A bald man wearing commoner clothes and a full beard sat on a chair with rough and bold movements. The table in front of him was full of dishes.
Probably because he felt that eating with chopsticks was too slow, he stood up directly, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a skewer in the other. His mouth was full of oil when he ate, and his beard was shiny.
With Zi Liang's reflection, Little Star would never associate him with the enlightened monk he saw at Huguo Temple just now.
That's right.
The person feasting downstairs right now is the enlightened master with a fake beard.
Seeing the master eating meat and drinking wine at the same time, the corner of Little Xingxing's mouth twitched crazily.
