"Eat!"

At night, it was pitch black everywhere in Jinling City, and in the only small wine shop on the corner that still burned candlesticks, Lu Yifan personally took a bowl of hot noodles and put it in front of the trembling Lan Chen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Now, the two of them are the only guests in this small wine shop, and as for Liu Sandao and the others, they were all arranged by Lu Yifan to wait outside.

There are some words, Lu Yifan wants to talk to Lan Chen alone.

Today's Lan Chen's whole person looks like he is embarrassed and depressed, unkempt, and the hair stuck together by the mud is scattered on his head one by one, and there are still a few straws left by him after he slept on the ground last night, his dirty face looks a little pale, his lips have already become dry and cracked, and there is no trace of the spirit between his eyebrows, and now he always looks sluggish and weak. The dirty robe was so ragged that he couldn't see the original color, he only had one foot pulling a rag shoe, and the other foot was bare on the ground, in addition to the sludge, there were also many wounds, and the dried blood stains were mixed with the sludge, adding a touch of 'color' to Lan Chen's beggar appearance.

Now Lan Chen can no longer see the high spirits and indesperability of the past, instead of being frightened and jealous of everything around him, and even on the way when Lu Yifan personally supported him to come here, Lan Chen's body has been trembling. He seemed to be afraid of everything now, and any movement could arouse his alertness and panic, and his eyes had been flickering around him since he came to the liquor store, and his hands were clutched at his chest, as if he were carefully protecting himself.

Lu Yifan could clearly feel the weakness of Lan Chen's body, this was the emptiness and weakness of not having eaten a full meal for a long time, so when Lu Yifan took Lan Chen to the wine shop, the first thing he did was to ask for a bowl of hot noodles for him.

Looking at the steaming noodle soup in front of him, Lan Chen's eyes inadvertently flashed a touch of ecstasy, and then he glanced at Lu Yifan again and then suddenly picked up the big bowl, almost without using chopsticks, gobbled up a bowl of hot noodles into his stomach in a few bites, so that Lu Yifan was wondering if he had chewed?

"Shopkeeper, help me with another bowl...... Oh no, it's three bowls of hot noodles!" Lu Yifan looked at Lan Chen, who had been in drought for a long time, and couldn't help but have an indescribable bitterness in his eyes, and then lightly ordered, "Hurry up!"

"Okay!" The shopkeeper is a sixty-year-old man, who has no children and no daughters, and is a lonely family, so he barely makes a living by running this small wine shop, because his wine and food are really no special and can not attract guests, and then he can only rely on the way of day and night to entertain some guests like Lu Yifan who come out late at night to buy drunk to make some small money. When he carefully served the three bowls of hot noodles, he couldn't help but squint a pair of slightly dim old eyes and looked at Lan Chen, who was gobbling up, and then said to Lu Yifan with a look of disgust, "This son, this kind of young man, who has hands and feet, is not worthy of your sympathy even if he is down, I have seen a lot of this kind of old man, but he is too lazy to eat." Now in this world, you can live if you do anything, but if this person can be diligent, he will not fall to this step!"

Regarding the shopkeeper's ridicule, Lu Yifan did not speak, but set his eyes on Lan Chen with great interest, he wanted to see Lan Chen's reaction to this. If it were the former Lan Chen, I was afraid that he would have smashed this small wine shop in a fit of anger, but at this moment, Lan Chen didn't hear this kind of cynicism, he still lowered his head and ate his noodles in a big gulp, no matter how the old shopkeeper ridiculed him, Lan Chen didn't even raise his eyelids.

"This son, I said ......"

Without waiting for the old shopkeeper to open his mouth again, Lu Yifan smiled bitterly and waved his hand at him slightly, signaling that he didn't have to say more, and the old shopkeeper was also a sensible person, when he saw Liu Sandao and others standing outside the wine shop waiting carefully, he had already guessed that Lu Yifan's identity was by no means ordinary, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, but just retreated.

In this way, Lu Yifan watched Lan Chen eat bowl after bowl with his eyes quietly, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but saw that Lan Chen was about to finish eating and asked for a new bowl. And Lan Chen was indeed hungry, he actually unceremoniously ate thirteen bowls of hot noodles in a row, so that he could hear a rather satisfied burp from his mouth.

Lan Chen, who had eaten his stomach, was much better than just now, at least his eyes had regained his sanity, he picked up the big bowl and drank the only remaining noodle soup in the bowl, and then threw the big bowl directly on the table, and then stretched out his arms to stretch a comfortable waist.

"Old shopkeeper, go to the ...... again"

"It's full!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to open his mouth to greet him again, Lan Chen suddenly came back to his senses and spit out such a sentence lukewarmly.

"Thirteen bowls, how long has it been since you eat?" Lu Yifan asked curiously while counting the empty bowls on the table.

"I don't remember either!" Lan Chen took a deep breath of turbidity, then raised his eyes to look around, and then he slowly stood up and picked up a jar of wine on the table, and staggered towards the outside of the wine shop, "Drink more of your jar of wine, if there is a chance to return it to you with thirteen bowls of noodles in the future!"

"What's the matter? Just left?" Lu Yifan looked at Lan Chen's limping back and didn't get up in a hurry to chase him out, but opened his mouth lightly, "You took my wine, aren't you going to invite me to a drink?"

For Lu Yifan's question, Lan Chen's body froze slightly, but he didn't answer anything, just shook his head at Lu Yifan without looking back, and then accelerated the pace of walking out.

"Where are you going?"

However, just when Lan Chen just walked out of the door of the wine shop with the wine jar in his arms, Yin Xi and Liu Meng had already set up knives to block his way, and then saw Liu Sandao standing on the side looking at him with a hint of playfulness, and smiled meaningfully: "You want to leave when you are full of food and drink, pat your buttocks?"

"Then what do you want?" Although Lan Chen is embarrassed now, he still retains his stubborn character in his bones, "I have no money!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, it's okay to leave your life!" Liu Sandao laughed playfully, "Anyway, the account between us and your Lan family hasn't been settled yet?" tonight is a good time, either you can leave your life to pay the money, or you can go back and sit down with our master and have a good chat!"

Lan Chen understood Liu Sandao's character, he knew that even if he said the great heaven tonight, it would not work at all when he arrived at Liu Sandao, so he could only slowly turn his head and look at Lu Yifan who was sitting in the wine shop with complicated eyes, and asked lightly: "Lu Yifan, I have fallen to this point, what else do you want to do?"

"I want to talk to you!" Lu Yifan smiled lightly, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the stool opposite, motioning for Lan Chen to come back and sit down.

Lan Chen looked at Liu Sandao, Yin Xi and the others who were eyeing each other, and had no choice but to stagger back to Lu Yifan again and sit down, obviously his mood was already unhappy at the moment, in Lan Chen's opinion, Lu Yifan tonight was deliberately coming to see his jokes.

"Say it!" Lan Chen didn't seem to want to deal with Lu Yifan, although he was sitting opposite Lu Yifan, his eyes were always staring at the darkness next to him, and his attention was not on Lu Yifan at all.

"I'm really surprised that you're still alive?" Lu Yifan bluntly said his thoughts as soon as he came up, "I thought you died at the hands of Xuanzong with the Lan family!"

"Yes, I'm still alive!" As soon as the Lan family was mentioned, Lan Chen's tone became a little hideous, "It's the eldest brother who desperately covered me!"

Lu Yifan nodded undeniably, then looked Lan Chen up and down, and then said faintly: "Then what's the matter with you now, why did you end up like this!"

"Now whether it's the sect leader or the emperor, they don't want to see me alive, so I can only hide in Tibet, the so-called more dangerous the place, the safer, I sneaked into Jinling City earlier in chaos, in order not to attract anyone's attention, I can only rely on begging to survive......" Lan Chen seems to see his sad things very lightly, so that when he talks about this, he always exudes a sense of casualness," It wasn't until I went to beg that I found out that there was not only a fight in the court in this world, but even the beggars, they also divided the so-called territory in groups, as for me, the newcomer, I had no food to eat, no water to drink, and even at night there was no place to sleep, no matter where I went, I would be squeezed out, and all the valuable things on my body were stolen by others while sleeping, hehe......" Lan Chen couldn't help laughing self-deprecatingly when he said this, but his laughter contained too much helplessness and sourness.

"I can't imagine that the son of Lan Chen, who was famous in Jinling City back then, would end up like this today!" Lu Yifan sighed with emotion, "Sure enough, the world is impermanent, and it really fulfills the sentence that everything is fate, and I can't help it! Who in the world would have thought that the prince of the north of the dignified town would be involuntary in the middle of the night because of a few bowls of noodles?"

"What Zhenbei Gongzi, I don't know it's the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue!" Lan Chen seems to be more open than Lu Yifan, maybe it's his free nature, maybe he pretends to be it, but at least it seems that Lan Chen, who is the party concerned, has a much more indifferent attitude towards this matter than Lu Yifan, "It's that you are now in the holy realm, we have been fighting since we were children, and we have been fighting until now, and in the end I became a stinky beggar that everyone despises, and you have become the unattainable Soul Sect Master, I am really not as good as you......" Lan Chen chuckled again when he said this, as if he had taken a very light look at the former pursuit of fame and fortune now.

"If I could do it all over again, I would never be a sect master...... Lu Yifan's tone suddenly became lonely, "Don't say what you want to be the sect master, even if you win the world, what can I do?" because I have lost the two most important people in my life because of this......

Lan Chen's eyes couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Lu Yifan's words, and after thinking about it for a while, a touch of understanding appeared between his eyebrows, and his tone became a little soothed compared to the previous indifference: "Could it be that the legend is true? The Lu family is really ......."

"Yes!" Lu Yifan didn't want Lan Chen to continue, so he hurriedly replied, "It's all true!"

"It turns out that you and I are the same......" Lan Chen seemed to say this to himself, and then he and Lu Yifan were thinking about their own things, and they didn't speak again for a long time, and the wine shop fell into silence again.

"We finally have one thing that we don't have to fight for anymore......" Lu Yifan suddenly said with a wry smile, at this moment there was already a trace of tears in his eyes, he quietly looked at Lan Chen and choked up with a smile, "Since my father and mother died, I will feel more cordial when I see everything related to my former life, because I can feel the warmth of my father and mother when he was alive from these familiar things...... Even when I see you......"

"Me too!" Lan Chen didn't object to Lu Yifan's words again this time, but suddenly smiled with tears in his eyes, "Now I don't think you are as disgusted as before, because in my memory, where there is you, there will be dad and big brother, and in order to defeat you, dad gave me a lot of ideas......"

"Yes, my father too, the person who is most wary of you is your father......" Lu Yifan smiled and recalled the past while tears couldn't stop staying, "Do you remember when your father secretly sent a master of foreign martial arts to ambush me in the dense forest outside the city? Now do you admit that your father did this?"

"Remember!" Lan Chen also laughed and silently wept, "I also reprimanded my father for this matter, you know that I have always disliked to play tricks, I will fight if I win, and I will never play tricks if I can't win." ā€

"Just because I understand the stubbornness in your bones, I will go to the banquet alone when I am in the northern Xinjiang, because I know that you will not kill me......"

"Haha......" Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Lan Chen couldn't help laughing, "I want to kill you, I want to dream of it." But you did win that gamble, so I have to be willing to lose......"

"You are different from your father, you will never break your own principles because of selfishness!" Lu Yifan praised with a smile.

"You are not the same as your father, your father is a person who has to pay attention to rules and morality, but you have killed many innocent ...... in a rage in the southwest" Lan Chen said before Lu Yifan opened his mouth to explain, but he raised his eyebrows, and then laughed and said, "But I don't think what you did is wrong at all...... If it were me, I would slaughter all the fourteen cities in the southwest...... Haha......"

"But you're not me!" The smile on Lu Yifan's face gradually retracted, replaced by a touch of solemnity.

"yes! I'm not you, so I'll never guess what you're thinking!" Lan Chen also restrained his smile, and looked straight back at Lu Yifan with a pair of eyes that looked at death, "Are you going to do it now?"

"You want to die?"

"It's better to die vigorously than to live like this!"

"What about revenge?"

"Revenge is not something I can take if I want to. The four words of the Sect Master of the Sacred Realm are too high for me......" Lan Chen's tone was full of helplessness, and a sigh came out of his mouth after saying that, "Even if you don't kill me today, tomorrow I will die in the hands of the Emperor or the Sect Master, rather than die in their hands, it is better to die in your hands......"

"Bet on a game!" Lu Yifan suddenly chuckled, "Let's see if you can beat me once!"

"I have nothing now, what do you want to bet with me?" In fact, Lan Chen wanted to win Lu Yifan once in his bones, but his reality was so embarrassing.

"Just bet your life!" Lu Yifan smiled lightly, and his eyes were already bursting with fighting spirit, "You won and my previous grudges were written off, and I will help you avenge your revenge!"

"I bet!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan's words to fall, Lan Chen suddenly stood up and agreed categorically, "I still have a chance to fight before I die, no matter how I count it, it's worth it!"

"Have you eaten enough, have you drunk enough?" Lu Yifan did not directly answer Lan Chen's words, but asked with a faint smile.

"I'm most annoyed by you talking so much nonsense!" Lan Chen urged rather impatiently, "How the hell do you want to bet?"

"It's very simple! Fifty rounds, if you can be undefeated, you win!" Lu Yifan said faintly, "Of course, the rules are the same as during the Heavenly Grace Competition, I don't use soul magic but only my fists and feet!"

"Lu Yifan, are you despising me?" Lan Chen couldn't help but feel a touch of anger in his heart after hearing that Lu Yifan didn't use the soul method, Lu Yifan's move was undoubtedly contempt for his dignity in his opinion.

"You won't think so soon, I promise!"

After that, Lu Yifan's right leg was raised suddenly, and with a loud "bang" sound, Lu Yifan kicked the table between him and Lan Chen to smash it, and as the desktop fragments flew everywhere, Lu Yifan's figure bounced up, and then a sharp whip leg slashed through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking the air, and then slammed into Lan Chen's head.
