Li Yan looked at Ouyang Xiaotong and smiled slightly, and said, "Fifth Princess, are you preparing to enter the weird secret realm?"

Ouyang Xiaotong said angrily, "Knowingly ask!"

Li Yan smiled all over his face, "Zai Xia knows a lot about the weird secret realm, and he has also done in-depth research on thousands of spirit beasts, can you enter the weird secret realm with the five princesses and let Zai Xia escort the five princesses?"

Ouyang Xiaotong glanced at him and said indifferently, "No need!"

She didn't have a good impression of Li Yan.

When the Li family came to the palace before, Li Yan always harassed her.

Li Yan relied on the identity of the young patriarch of the Li family, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and was a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, and the women who had played were fifty if not hundreds!

Just a typical playboy!

At this time, Hong Aya said to Ouyang Xiaotong, "Princess, the Li clan has helped our Ouyang Dynasty, and Patriarch Li knows a lot about spirit beasts, so why don't you let him follow us."

Li Yan looked at Ouyang Xiaotong and said with a smile, "Fifth Princess, I have already asked Uncle Ouyang for instructions, and he agreed to let me follow you."

Ouyang Xiaotong said lightly, "Whatever!"

With that, she soared into the air and flew towards the entrance to the strange secret realm at the top of the huge stone pillar.

Hong Aya and Li Yan immediately followed.

..........

Heavenly Dao Sect.

Baiyun Mountain, Baiyun Palace.

Lu Chen, his two little apprentices, and Xia Zhining came to a stone table in the compound.

Xia Zhining waved her small hand, and steaming delicacies appeared on the stone table.

There are spicy roast duck, spicy poached chicken, fresh and beautiful pork ribs, roasted goose, roast suckling pig, fragrant and tender old Tan sauerkraut fish...... and other twenty dishes.

The moment the food appeared on the stone table, the tempting fragrance swept over the entire Baiyun Palace compound!

"Wow!" Tang Yao looked at the food on the table, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed, "It's so fragrant!"

Shen Nalan's eyes widened slightly, and a touch of surprise appeared on her little face.

These delicacies are so expensive!

And it's the most famous meal in the nearby city!

Senior Sister Zhining must be very rich!

Xia Zhining looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile: "Brother Lu Chen, most of these meals are what you liked to eat when we were at the inn before, you can taste it while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold."

Lu Chen looked at the food on the table, and then looked at Xia Zhining, "This ...... Sister Zhining...... Do you have anything to ask me for help?"

Xia Zhi smiled and shook her head, "No, Brother Lu Chen, don't think about it, I just want to repay Brother Lu Chen's kindness to me before."

"A long time ago, when I was in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, the exercise recommended to me by Brother Lu Chen, after I practiced, my cultivation grew rapidly, and this kindness Zhining has always remembered in my heart, and I will never forget it!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Xia Zhining chuckled and said, "Don't be stunned, sit down and eat!"

After a few people sat down, Tang Yao looked at Xia Zhining and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Zhining, can I and Senior Sister Nalan also eat?"

This is a meal sent by Senior Sister Zhining in order to repay her master's kindness, she must ask.

Xia Zhining smiled and said, "Of course you can!"

She said so, but in fact, she was still a little unhappy in her heart.

After all, this was a meal she specially prepared for Lu Chen.

But when Tang Yao and Shen Nalan were apprentices, Lu Chen wouldn't say anything.

Tang Yao smiled, "Then thank you Senior Sister Zhining!"

Shen Nalan bowed slightly to Xia Zhining and said with a smile, "Thank you Senior Sister Zhining for your hospitality!"

Xia Zhining laughed, "No need to be so polite!"

Several people sat at the table, looking at Lu Chen, not moving their chopsticks.

Tang Yao and Shen Nalan swallowed a mouthful of saliva from time to time, obviously greedy

No, but we still have to wait for Lu Chen to do it first.

This is a rule passed down from their family, and it is also something that their parents once told.

When dining with elders, or people who are very respectful, it is necessary to wait for the elders to move the chopsticks first, which is considered to be a sign of respect for the elders.

Lu Chen looked at Xia Zhining and the others, smiled helplessly, so he had to pick up the chopsticks and clip a piece, and put the fragrant and thornless fresh spirit fish meat in his mouth.

The fresh spirit fish meat is gently chewed in the mouth a few times, fragrant but not greasy, and the slightly sour and slightly spicy soup overflows in the mouth.

It's delicious!

After seeing Lu Chen move his chopsticks, Tang Yao and the others began to enjoy the food.

A few people chatted while eating.

"Brother Lu Chen, the chicken leg is for you!" Xia Zhining used chopsticks to clip the chicken thighs on the plate to Lu Chen.

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth lifted slightly, "Thank you, Senior Sister Zhining, you don't have to worry about me, just eat yours."

"It's fine." Xia Zhining smiled sweetly.

Seeing this, Tang Yao sandwiched a piece of spicy pork ribs for Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "Master try this!"

Shen Nalan also did the same, and gave Lu Chen vegetables.

When Xia Zhining saw this scene, she looked at Tang Yao and Shen Nalan with some resentment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her mouth pursed slightly.

What kind of dishes are you two putting on Brother Lu Chen!

How can this highlight my love for Lu Chen's brother?

Tang Yao noticed Xia Zhining's eyes, and was stunned for a moment, looking confused.

Well? Why does Senior Sister Zhining look at me like this? Am I doing something wrong?

Do I have a problem with the food I put in the master's dishes? No problem!

Shen Nalan saw Xia Zhi's resentful eyes, and her expression was stunned, as if she had thought of something.

Heart, it's bad! I think I've done something wrong!

Senior Sister Zhining seems to be interested in Master, not just a simple repayment, if I pick up vegetables for Master at this time, Senior Sister Zhining will definitely feel uncomfortable!

...

Tang Yao's little mouth never stopped, sandwiching this dish for a while, and that dish for a while.

The little face was filled with a happy expression.

Their Tang family is just a small family, and only during the Chinese New Year can they eat such a sumptuous food.

Shen Nalan was a little restrained, not daring to fill the table with dishes like Tang Yao.

She only picks up a few dishes in front of her, and even if she likes to eat and wants to eat very much, she doesn't eat it too quickly.

After all, she had just become Lu Chen's apprentice, and she was not particularly familiar with Lu Chen and Xia Zhining.

She felt honored to be Lu Chen's apprentice, and joy appeared on her pretty face.

Lu Chen not only gave her heaven-level top-grade exercises, but also gave her heaven-level medium-grade weapons.

Now that she can enjoy such food as Lu Chen's apprentice, she is happy from the bottom of her heart!

Shen Nalan's family is far inferior to Tang Yao's family, her parents left early, and the family is not rich.

Even if it's the Chinese New Year, you can't eat so many expensive delicacies!

Xia Zhining served Lu Chen vegetables from time to time, and then found a topic to chat with Lu Chen.

Several people were in the vast compound of Baiyun Palace, eating, drinking, chatting, and the scene was very warm.

Xia Zhining suddenly remembered something, looked at Lu Chen, and said, "Brother Lu Chen, have you heard about the strange secret realm? Are you going?"
