Chapter 112: A Quiet Life
In addition to Lao Tan and He Xingyou, there was also the sweet-looking female player who came in with her, her name is Mei Ling, who has been in the same place as He Xingyou for more than six years and is also an old player.
"Old Tan, although you haven't been here for a long time, but among our people, except for Brother He and Qu Lei, that bastard, your cultivation is the highest, what do you think of this matter today?" As soon as Lao Tan came in, Mei Ling couldn't wait to ask.
"To be honest, Qu Lei's words are not unreasonable." Lao Tan said lightly.
"Even you think he's right?" Mei Ling exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Ah Ling, don't get excited." He Xingyou grabbed the excited Mei Ling, turned to Lao Tan and said, "Old Tan, why do you think so?" ”
Lao Tan looked at He Xingyou, sighed and said slowly: "Brother He, I know that you want to protect everyone, and I hope that everyone can advance and retreat together, but the reality is cruel, Qu Lei is right, the Immortal Ascension Conference is not a playhouse, the process of participating in the conference is likely to be very dangerous, being eliminated and not being able to join the sect is secondary, in case someone is injured or even killed, it will be more than worth the loss." ”
"......" Hearing this, He Xingyou couldn't help but be silent, he hadn't thought about Lao Tan's words.
"I don't believe it, we can't solve the problem by working together, we have Brother He here, and you Lao Tan, plus me, the three of us will definitely pass the assessment of the Immortal Ascension Conference if we work together." Mei Ling said excitedly.
"Sister Ling, to be honest, I don't plan to team up with you at this Immortal Ascension Conference." Lao Tan looked indifferent, looked at Mei Ling and said.
"What?" Mei Lingxing's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her ears, she even rushed forward and asked, "Why?" Do you think we're going to drag you down? ”
Lao Tan shook his head and said, "It's not you and Brother He, it's those people outside." ”
I didn't expect Lao Tan to be so ruthless, Mei Ling said disappointedly: "Old Tan, I misjudged you, I thought you were the same as Brother He, but I didn't expect you and Qu Lei to be a ......"
"That's enough, Ah Ling, don't say it." He Xingyou suddenly stopped Mei Ling loudly, his expression was surprisingly calm, as if he had already known Lao Tan's choice.
"Brother He?"
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and we don't need to force others." He Xingyou shook his head and said to Lao Tan: "Then the day after tomorrow, when you gather to go to the venue of the Immortal Ascension Conference, will you come?" ”
Lao Tan nodded and said that he would definitely come.
Leaving the Lingxi Pavilion, Lao Tan returned to his residence, and as soon as he and Wu Hao entered the door, a fragrant smell wafted from the direction of the kitchen.
"Immortal Master, are you coming back?" Zhai Feng'er happened to come out with a plate of roast chicken in her hand, and saw the two of them smiling sweetly.
"Sister Feng'er, wow, tonight's dinner is roast chicken?" When Wu Hao saw the roast chicken on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, he was hungry, and he couldn't help but reach out.
"Smack!"
Zhai Feng'er knocked Wu Hao's hand hard with chopsticks, and said viciously: "Wash your hands first, and besides, the immortal master hasn't said that he wants to eat, what are you anxious about?" ”
Wu Hao retracted his hand aggrievedly, and at the same time realized that his behavior just now was a bit rude, so he glanced at Lao Tan stupidly.
Lao Tan smiled faintly: "Everyone is hungry, let's eat." ”
Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seemed that Lao Tan didn't blame him for being rude, but Zhai Feng'er said coquettishly: "Remember to wash your hands." ”
There is usually no entertainment in this world, after a meal, except for Zhai Feng'er who took the dishes to clean, Lao Tan pulled Wu Hao to play chess on the side.
They played flying chess, the chessboard and chess pieces were all made by themselves, and Lao Tan had already told Wu Hao the rules of the game, and the two played two sentences, and he quickly got started.
"Immortal Master, this game is really interesting, the chess pieces can be stacked together and you can eat each other?" Wu Hao played two games and thought it was very interesting, and he quickly forgot the haze of the past two days.
Lao Tan picked up the dice that were also made of wood and threw them on the chessboard, just threw a six, grabbed his chess piece "Tuk Tuk" and walked six steps, then jumped the grid, and just ate one of Wu Hao's chess pieces.
"Huh?" Seeing that his chess pieces were eaten, Wu Hao was very annoyed, and hurriedly picked up the dice on the chessboard, clasped his hands together and muttered, "Please, give me a six." ”
According to the rules, you can resurrect a dead piece by throwing a six.
"I can throw six again, have you forgotten?" Lao Tan smiled and snatched the dice, reached out and knocked on Wu Hao's head.
"Yes...... Is it? Wu Hao pretended to be confused and laughed dryly.
Zhai Feng'er came out after washing her things, and put a plate of cut fruit in front of the two, "Immortal Master, eat the fruit." ”
Lao Tan picked a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, and motioned for Zhai Feng'er to sit down while eating.
The little girl smiled slightly, sat beside Lao Tan obediently, and brought fruit to Lao Tan's mouth from time to time.
The three of them sat together for a night, usually Lao Tan passed the time like this, there was no way, except for cultivation, at this time, I really couldn't think of anything else to pass the long time.
"Again...... Lost again. "Wu Hao is very distressed, he has almost never won a night of chess with Lao Tan, doesn't it mean that this kind of flying chess can be won as long as he is lucky? Could it be that his own luck was so bad?
"It's almost time, it's time to sleep." Lao Tan put down the dice, stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhai Feng'er's head, the little girl had fallen asleep just now, and now she was crawling on his lap and drooling.
Although Wu Hao really wanted to play another game, he didn't care about disobeying Lao Tan, and hurriedly put away the chessboard and chess pieces together.
Lao Tan picked up Zhai Feng'er and went back to her room, and after settling her, he returned to his resting place.
At this time, it was the dead of night, and after entering the autumn, the night was cold and windy, Xu was too bored alone, and Lao Tan was not sleepy.
Open the system menu and see the time displayed on the system, it is only 9:30 in the evening, no wonder there is no sleep.
Although he couldn't sleep, when Lao Tan ran to the courtyard outside to sit, he looked at the stars in the sky and was surprisingly calm.
It has been almost two years since he came to this world, and looking back on the experience of the past two years, Lao Tan still feels incredible.
Looking at the moon in the sky, Lao Tan occasionally thinks of his family in another world.
It's not that Lao Tan hasn't thought of a way to go back, but he soon found that that kind of thing is simply impractical. Today, He Xingyou spoke, it was not that he disagreed, but that he understood that it was still very difficult to survive in this world before he had absolute strength, let alone break time and space and go back to Earth?
Staring at the bright moon in the sky, Lao Tan couldn't help muttering, "Those people like Rulin Fudi have lived in this world for decades, and they haven't found a way to go back to Earth for hundreds of years, let alone us?" Forget it, these days...... It seems that only one day is one day. ”
