The next day, after Li Chen practiced in the Sword Washing Pool, he went directly to the dining room.

Although the dining room is only a place for the outer disciples to eat, it is also built in a bit of style.

It's just that there aren't many guests coming and going, and only from time to time there are three or two outer disciples who come together.

But even so, the walking disciples who walked back and forth inside were also more dedicated and energetic.

After Li Chen entered, he saw a clever young woman who happened to be idle after being busy.

So Li Chen walked directly to her and said slowly: "This sister, I am the younger brother that Sister Rou picked up on the road yesterday. ”

The young woman was slightly stunned, then looked at Li Chen carefully, and then chuckled: "It turns out that you are Li Chen, my name is Ling Xiang, Sister Rou specially instructed me to pay attention to it today, but I didn't expect you to find me directly." ”

"Sister Ling Xiang, in the future, I will be just like you, and I will also be a walking disciple here. Li Chen nodded slightly.

An old man with a meaty face and a little ugly looked squinted and scolded Ling Xiang directly: "Ling Xiang, what are you chatting with people here?

"Manager Wang, this person is Sister Rou's younger brother, and Sister Rou arranged for him to come to this dining room as a walking disciple. Ling Xiang was startled and hurriedly explained.

The old man glanced at Li Chen, and then said impatiently: "Since this is the case, you should quickly take him to register, and then come back quickly, don't want to be lazy anymore!"

"Yes. Ling Xiang nodded in agreement.

The old man looked at Ling Xiang's face for a while before leaving with a lewd smile.

At this time, Ling Xiang exhaled, and then walked with Li Chen to a place, and said: "Chief Manager Wang is the head of this dining room, except for Sister Rou, he has the most power, it is said that he is the eldest brother of the third Lei Tang to worship Wang An, so he relies on this relationship to dictate to us walking disciples, Li Chen, you must not provoke him in the future." ”

"Is there a third offering in the Lei Hall?" Li Chen was stunned.

He didn't see anyone else at the Gongfa Pavilion that day.

"Well, those offerings are very busy on weekdays, and it's normal that you haven't heard of them. Ling Xiang explained.

"Well, Sister Ling Xiang, if Manager Wang bullies you in the future, you can just tell me. Li Chen said lightly.

"Li Chen, you're really joking. Ling Xiang smiled, "This is it, Sister Rou is inside, you just go in and say hello to her." ”

Li Chen nodded and went in directly.

After Sister Rou saw Li Chen inside, she smiled at Li Chen with joy on her face.

Then she took out a booklet, and after adding Li Chen's name to it, she instructed Ling Xiang to take Li Chen to familiarize herself with the work.

After Ling Xiang led Li Chen away, she suddenly smiled secretly: "Li Chen, how could Sister Rou suddenly pick up such a younger brother with a different surname as you?"

"Well, maybe I'm better-looking. Li Chen smiled faintly.

"Less stinky beauties you. Ling Xiang glanced at Li Chen, looked around again, and then chuckled, "The previous Wang was in charge and we all called him Wang Lao Ghost in private, you must not mention this matter in front of him, otherwise he will definitely not let us go easily!"

"Well, then I will be like you in the future, calling him Wang Lao Ghost. Li Chen said calmly.

"Remember not to call him that to his face!" Ling Xiang reminded.

Li Chen nodded slightly.

The work of the disciples in this dining room is relatively simple, but it is just to serve tea and water to the people who come here.

So Ling Xiang led Li Chen to point out for a while, and Li Chen was already familiar with it.

After a while, the number of outer disciples who came here suddenly increased.

Therefore, the many walking disciples in the dining room began to get busy, and Li Chen also sped up his pace.

According to Li Chen's observation, that old ghost Wang is indeed not a good stubble.

In addition to shouting and drinking at many walking disciples, he also cursed from time to time.

Moreover, those young and beautiful female disciples like Ling Xiang will also be taken care of by him, and he will always take advantage of them while they are shouting.

Li Chen shook his head secretly, thinking that he wanted to find an opportunity to teach this old ghost a lesson.

However, he didn't want to embarrass Sister Rou, so he didn't make a move easily.

After Li Chen cultivated these days, he came to work in this dining room, and after a while, he became familiar with these walking disciples.

They didn't know that Li Chen was the little uncle of the outer gate, and they all had a bad family background, so they went to this dining room to work part-time as a walking disciple.

Compared with Zuo Tong's generation, they are much kinder to Li Chen, and Li Chen is the younger brother picked up by Sister Rou, so they like to laugh with Li Chen.

Li Chen gradually got used to it, and was no longer as indifferent as when he first came.

It's just that the old ghost Wang is becoming more and more unfriendly to Li Chen.

"Li Chen, what are you talking about there, didn't you see a large number of people entering the door again?" Seeing Li Chen laughing with Ling Xiang, Old Ghost Wang said with an unkind face.

Li Chen glanced at him lightly, then nodded casually, and agreed.

Ling Xiang hurriedly laughed with Old Ghost Wang before covering Li Chen's departure.

Li Chen remembered Ling Xiang's kindness and went to a place to greet the new group of people.

Basically, the people who came in and out of here were ordinary disciples from the outer gate, and they hadn't been to Li Chen's class for two years, so they basically didn't recognize Li Chen.

Li Chen was busy greeting a few outer disciples, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Li Chen, why are you here?"

Li Chen frowned slightly, because the owner of that voice was named Xu Hailian.

He didn't intend to pay attention to the man, and went about his business as if he didn't hear it.

"Helen, where are you going?" an unfamiliar man's voice came.

"I'm going to see an acquaintance. Xu Hailian replied with a little embarrassment.

Then, Xu Hailian walked directly to Li Chen's side, looked at him with a surprised face and asked, "Li Chen, why don't you ignore me?"

Li Chen looked away, and another person who looked like a walking disciple came over to work for Li Chen.

This person was met by Li Chen during this time, and he belonged to friends who could tell each other some jokes.

After Li Chen thanked the man, he turned to look at Xu Hailian and said indifferently, "Didn't you see me working?"

At this time, a handsome man walked over, stood beside Xu Hailian, looked at Li Chen and smiled calmly: "Hailian, who is he?"

Although his eyes tried to pretend to be calm, the natural arrogance could not be concealed.

He obviously didn't intend to take a walking disciple like Li Chen to heart, he just came over to ask out of politeness.

"Lian Chengfeng, he is Li Chen, the little uncle of our outer gate. Xu Hailian explained.

It turned out that this person was one of the three consummations of the outer gate, and Lian Chengfeng.

Li Chen was a little surprised in his heart, but that's all.

That Lian Chengfeng heard that Li Chen was his junior uncle, and immediately pretended to be very polite and smiled at Li Chen: "It turned out to be the little uncle in person, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I didn't recognize it, and I ask the little uncle not to be surprised." ”

"Well, I didn't recognize you either. Li Chen didn't bother to look at Lian Chengfeng, but said lightly.

The smile in Lian Chengfeng's eyes froze, giving birth to a trace of imperceptible coldness.

Xu Hailian hurriedly smiled and said, "Lian Chengfeng, I have something to say to Li Chen, you can wait here for a while." ”

After speaking, she didn't care about Lian Chengfeng's reaction, she directly signaled to Li Chen, and then walked to a secluded place by herself.

Li Chen wanted to know what Xu Hailian was going to say now, so he casually followed.

Lian Chengfeng looked at Li Chen's back with an unkind face, thoughtful.

A woman with a bright face beside him looked at Xu Hailian and Li Chen with a smug face, and then turned her head and smiled at Lian Chengfeng: "Chengfeng, it seems that Hailian has a lot to do with that Li Chen." ”

She is also a disciple of the outer gate, named Sha Jiao.

She also secretly pursued Lian Chengfeng, and she and Xu Hailian have always been rivals in love, and now they are just falling into the ground.

Lian Chengfeng shook his head and said calmly: "I have always heard that Hailian's mother took special care of our little uncle outside the gate, and today Hailian should have asked Li Chen for the sake of her mother's face." ”

Although his mouth was calm, a trace of gloom in the corners of his eyes was not concealed.

The corners of Sha Jiao's lips hooked slightly, and she looked at Xu Hailian who was away again proudly.

......

"Li Chen, have you been short of money lately?" Xu Hailian asked in a low voice when she saw Li Chen coming.

In any case, Li Chen was the person Xu Hailian's mother asked her to take care of, so Xu Hailian now came to ask Li Chen out of obligation.

"It's not about you. Li Chen said lightly.

"You!" Xu Hailian was angry, "I don't know the hearts of good people!"

"You don't have to worry about the shogun's orders, you just need to be yourself. Li Chen said calmly, "I know you don't like me, now that the curtain sister is not here, you don't have to make this appearance, and I don't bother to cooperate with you." ”

Xu Hailian's face was embarrassed, so she glared at Li Chen angrily, and scolded: "Why are you like this, I kindly came to ask you, you actually treat me like this!"

Li Chen calmly looked at the woman in front of him and looked at her cold eyebrows.

He found that Xu Hailian was indeed a little anxious now, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Since you are here to eat in the dining room, then go and eat in peace, don't worry about me." ”

Before Xu Hailian could say anything, the sand Jiao in the distance was already calling her out of place.

"Go, your friend has found you, and I'm going to get back to work. Li Chen shook his head and smiled.

"You!" Xu Hailian snorted, then stomped her feet, no longer endured Li Chen's cold reception, and left directly.

It's just that as she walks, she feels that something is missing in her heart.

This Li Chen, who once defeated Lei Tang in the Gongfa Pavilion and fought to worship Jiang Hao, this Li Chen, who once defeated more than a dozen swordsmen at will, can only work in this dining room today.

The Li Chen, who once made her feel strange emotions, coincided with Li Chen, who was busy with life today, as if to tell her what reality was.

No matter how brave Li Chen once was, he was a person abandoned by his family after all, and he still had to bow to life in the end.

Xu Hailian returned to Lian Chengfeng's side, and found that several friends who had come with her before were all looking at her in surprise, so she squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry about that person, let's continue to eat." ”

"That's it, why bother with the person who can only make money as a walking disciple!" Sha Jiao said with a smile, "Hailian, Cheng Feng has been waiting for you, you have to pour Cheng Feng a glass of wine later." ”

"Well, I'll give Lian Chengfeng a glass later. Xu Hailian said calmly, and then walked with everyone to the reserved table.

At this moment, she sighed slightly in her heart: "Li Chen, after all, he and I are just people from two worlds." ”
