When Xie Mu heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "Senior Guan Yeping, meet Senior Li." ”

This respect comes from the bottom of my heart, and this is true in the academy, except for the Kanwai branch. As long as you are a student who understands the history of the branch outside the border, you will have admiration for Li Yuansen, no, the entire Li family, because the Li family itself is a family worthy of admiration.

The college is outside of a district or a district, and there are a total of ten branches, and the most difficult one is the Guanwai branch, which is not only from the geographical environment of Bai Yuancheng, but also because of the suppressive factors of the Yao family and other forces outside the Guan, no money, no people, no backup, and it is difficult.

And the Li family, itself is just an ordinary mortal family, and there have not been a few very powerful warriors in the family, but after joining the academy, the strength has been greatly improved, since then, the Li family in order to repay the college's assistance, and actively build the Guanwai branch, and it is precisely because of the Li family that there is the current Guanwai branch.

It's just a pity that after years of turmoil, the Li family has withered, and many people have left the academy, only Li Yuansen, who continues to stick to it, although the times are constantly changing, but the values have not changed much, and what makes the martial artists in District 1 value the most is the word loyalty.

Xiao Ran also clasped his fists and saluted, "Junior, Su Xiaoran, meet the senior." ”

Pei Hanqing was not from the academy, so he just bowed slightly and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Li Yuansen smiled slightly, "You two don't have to be polite, I have long heard that the two of them were Junjie at that time, and when I saw them today, they were really dragons and phoenixes among people, don't talk at the door anymore, hurry up and go in to rest and rest, Neiko has prepared some wine and food, and I don't know if it suits the appetite of the two." ”

Xie Mu smiled, "Then it's bothering, oh, by the way, this is a friend I made on the road, although I am not from our academy, but it is just a casual cultivator, that ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuansen took over, "It's okay, since they are friends of the two, they are also friends of our branch, let's come in together." What he said was as if he really didn't care about Pei Hanqing's identity.

Pei Hanqing arched his hand, "Thank you, senior, for bothering me." As he spoke, his eyelids blinked quietly.

Li Yuansen said with a smile: "Don't worry, more people, more pairs of chopsticks, our branch outside the customs has always been very deserted, just a few people in our family, there are more people, and it is lively." With that, he opened the gate and let Xie Mu and the three of them enter the compound of the Guanwai Branch.

As soon as he entered the branch, Xie Mu suddenly felt that the air was completely different, the air inside and outside the branch, no, not just the air, it was the kind of strange feeling that could not be said, suddenly disappeared, the stress reaction subsided, whether it was the body or the mood, it was suddenly relaxed.

At this time, Xie Mu remembered the strange illness of those people on the road, and the people in the branch, whether it was Li Yuansen or Li Xinlin, were all the same as ordinary people, and because of the success of martial arts, the temples were bulging, the green tendons were exposed, and the shape of the muscles and the spirit were all signs of great health.

In this way, the strange feeling that the body and mind feel is the root cause of Bai Yuancheng's illness.

He and Xiao Ran glanced at each other, and her eyes were full of surprise, and she didn't seem to expect that the gap between inside and outside the branch would be so big.

Pei Hanqing looked around, his strength was not high, no matter how extraordinary his mind was, he couldn't see anything

The clue came, but it was Xie Mu, and he saw it at a glance.

In fact, at the beginning, when Xie Mu saw the mechanical carvings at the door, he saw a thing or two, although he couldn't fully understand these carvings, but with the attainment of heart carving, he could read some of its functions, one of which was that it could filter the air.

Li Xinlin stood at the end, closed the door, and then followed, and entered the largest house together.

When Xie Mu saw this house, he still unconsciously smashed his mouth, the situation of the branch outside the Guanwai, at a glance, he knew that he was in a difficult situation. Their houses are still just traditional northern architectural styles in District 1, bungalows, houses made of stone, and later painted with white paint, but all the paint has fallen off.

They also didn't repaint the wall, I don't know if they really didn't have the money, or if they didn't think it was necessary.

Li Yuansen seemed to see Xie Mu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't mind Gongzi Guan, our branch has been like this for many years, it is tattered, naturally it cannot be compared with the developed Jinghai headquarters, but our other conditions here are still good, there are also laboratories, martial arts training rooms or something, and when you finish eating, I can take you to have a look." ”

Xie Mu just smiled, looking at the scene outside, he didn't think that there would be anything that surprised him.

When you enter the room, you will see a large living room, with a size of seventy or eighty square meters, and common furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, and tables of eight immortals. If it's an ordinary family, it's already good, but this is a branch of the academy, and this size and configuration are too chilling.

However, Xie Mu is not the kind of person who is poor and exquisite, he can live in the open-air environment of Fang Zhulin for six years, which is already very good.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, a lot of meals have been placed, it looks quite rich, at least chicken, duck and fish have everything, cold dishes, hot dishes, soup dishes, all kinds of dishes, the fragrance of the dishes comes to the nose, although it is not a first-class delicacy, but this kind of home-cooked food, it is still quite greedy.

At this time, a woman came out of the kitchen with a plate of braised fish, saw a few people, put the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Guan Gongzi and Miss Su, you two have finally arrived, just right, sit down and eat something, there are no good things outside the gate, they are all home-cooked dishes, don't dislike it." ”

Xie Mu looked at this middle-aged woman, the years have not left traces on her face, but there are a few imperceptible crow's feet, she is like an old version of Li Xinlin, the two look very similar, it seems that this person is Li Xinlin's mother, however, before coming here, Xie Mu only knew that there was a Li Yuansen in the Guanwai branch.

He smiled: "The seniors said that they were funny, these dishes are delicious at first glance." Xiao Ran and Pei Hanqing also smiled behind them.

Li Yuansen led a few people, politely beside the table, found the primary and secondary positions, sat down, and took out a bottle of liquor from under the table, "The three of them can drink bars, I have a bottle of good Yuanchun wine here, which is a specialty of our Guanwai, it is particularly delicious, try it." ”

Xie Mu smiled: "Then let's have a taste." ”

Li Xinlin took the wine bottle, and after opening the lid, she poured a glass for Xie Mu and Xiao Ran.

When pouring it for Pei Hanqing, Pei Hanqing smiled and said, "I'm sorry girl, I don't know how to drink, just drink some boiled water." ”

It's not that he doesn't know how to drink, he doesn't want to drink, and in this unfamiliar environment, he still wants to try to keep himself awake.

Li Xinlin nodded, poured a cup for Li Yuansen, her mother, and herself, and sat back.

Li Xinlin's mother took the last dish and put it on the dining table, and sat in the lower position, and the table was full of people.

Li Yuansen raised his glass, "I'm a rough person, I won't say so many polite words, and I warmly welcome Guan Gongzi and Miss Su to our Guanwai branch for internship." ”

Xie Mu and Xiao Ran also hurriedly picked up the wine glass, followed the etiquette, and took a small sip of wine. Xie Mu has been in the tavern for so many years, and he has never drunk this kind of spirit, and he can't help but sigh: "Good wine!"

Xiao Ran doesn't drink alcohol often, and fortunately, thanks to his deep internal strength, he didn't get out of trouble, but he also experienced the deliciousness of this wine.

Li Yuansen said with a smile: "This Yuanchun wine is a strong wine, and it is also a first-class good wine outside our customs, how about it, if you drink it well, when you leave the customs, take a few bottles with you?" I know a wine seller, his price is fair, I can introduce it to you." ”

Xiao Ran and Xie Mu were also stunned when they heard it.

When Li Mu heard this, she coughed dryly twice, "Ahem, don't just drink, come, eat vegetables." ”

After saying this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

After Li Yuansen took a bite of meat, he looked at Pei Hanqing on the side: "Where is this Pei Gongzi from?"

Pei Hanqing said: "In the Xia Guyang people's clan, it is just an ordinary casual cultivation, and it is lucky to cultivate to the day after tomorrow, and then I met Brother Guan and Miss Su on the train, and they have similar interests, so they have come here." ”

Xie Mu continued on the side: "Actually, I saw Brother Pei as a talent, and he had extraordinary knowledge, and he came to the gate alone, and he had no relatives outside the pass and had nowhere to go, so I invited him to go with him." ”

Li Yuansen nodded, "Oh, it doesn't matter, there are many empty houses in our branch, if Pei Gongzi has nothing else to do, just stay, it just so happens that you young people are about the same age, and there are still some common languages together. ”

Pei Hanqing said: "Thank you seniors. ”

Li Yuansen stretched out his hand, "Hey, what seniors, I wanted to say it just now, this kind of red tape sounds annoying, if you don't dislike it, just call me Uncle Li." ”

Xie Mu nodded, "Uncle Li, that's the case, don't call us Miss Gongzi, just call our names directly, we are juniors after all." ”

Li Yuansen let out a "hmm" and raised his glass, "Do one more, and I wish you all the best in this internship." ”

Xie Mu and they also raised their glasses and drank them together.

In fact, Xiao Ran and Xie Mu have never participated in any wine party, and they only know a thing or two about the wine culture, and at this wine table, it is very good that there is no impolite behavior, and Pei Hanqing, although he understands everything, he simply doesn't drink, just keeps saying a few words with him.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone slowly put down the chopsticks and wine glasses, and the dishes on the table were also eaten.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
