Volume 1: A World Made Out of Nothing (Eighty-Nine) The Old Man in the Corner

"Xiaolu, you're right." Yan Yue said, "You see I didn't think of it at first, I really thought that guy was thinking about me!" ”

"Ah Yue, you guy just thinks too simply. But I appreciate that too! Yu Tianlu said with a smile, "Don't worry about these for now, let's go back to the Majia Inn first!" ”

After speaking, the two children walked towards the Majia Inn with their shoulders on their backs. The haze just now has been swept away, but the road behind needs to be carefully considered by the two of them.

Just as the two teenagers were leaving, an old man came out of the grass on the side of the road.

If Yu Tianlu was here, he would find out that this person was the mysterious old man who had a relationship with them when the list was released that day.

The old man looked at it from afar, and his face suddenly showed a satisfied look.

"It seems that you two are indeed related to our 'Heavenly Spirit'!" The old man said to himself, "But before I do that, I still have to see if you have such determination. For from the time you leave the Royal Academy, you will choose the hardest path. ”

When the two returned to the Majia Inn, the boss Feng shopkeeper happened to be at the door to greet them.

This shopkeeper Feng had also heard the news from the Royal Academy before, saying that Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue had passed the exam. He was also happy for these two children.

But when Shopkeeper Feng saw the two, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "What's the matter, two?" Coming back so early? Could it be that something happened at the Royal Academy? ”

"Alas, Uncle Feng, don't mention it!" Yan Yue said with a sad face.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Feng immediately welcomed the two of them into the inn.

After hearing Yu Tianlu tell what happened, Shopkeeper Feng also sighed for the two teenagers.

"Alas! It's not easy for ordinary people to become iconizers! I really didn't expect that this royal academy would be so rebellious! ”

"Man is a sword, I am a fish. I know that! Yu Tianlu knows very well that it is not easy to cross the class barrier.

"So what are you going to do next? Are you preparing to meet Twilight? Shopkeeper Feng asked.

"No, we want to settle down in the provincial capital first and see if there are any other opportunities?" Yu Tianlu replied, "But we are not familiar with each other, and these days we only know about reviewing and preparing for exams, and we don't know anything about schools other than the Royal Academy." ”

"There's no hurry, I think it's better for you to stay here!" Shopkeeper Feng said, "Although the mountains and rivers of Duyang Town are beautiful, it is not as good as this provincial city to see the world!" ”

"But Shopkeeper Feng, there's something we want to discuss with you!" Yu Tianlu looked embarrassed at the moment.

"What's the matter, Young Master Yu, please tell me face to face if there is anything!" Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly said, "You are like this now, but it makes me feel embarrassed!" ”

"Shopkeeper Feng, in fact, our coils have been used up to the same. So next......" Yu Tianlu asked tentatively, "until we find a new school, can you let us work here?" ”

"Young Master Yu, what are you talking about!" Shopkeeper Feng stood up suddenly, "Who do you two think of me Feng Yan?" ”

"Shopkeeper Feng......"

"You two can stay with me for as long as you want until you find a school. Don't talk to me about money. Shopkeeper Feng said solemnly.

"Shopkeeper Feng, what you said, isn't this letting you do a loss-making business?"

Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue were also a little reluctant. They didn't expect that the steward Ma in Duyang Town would be so ruthless, but the shopkeeper Feng in this provincial city would be so righteous and squandering money.

"Sure enough, the gap between people in a company is not ordinarily big!" Yu Tianlu secretly complained in his heart.

In fact, what the two little ghosts didn't know was that before the two came back, someone had already gone to the Majia Inn first.

There was no way to keep Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue in the Royal Academy, and Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't want the two to leave the provincial capital.

So before he returned home, she asked the housekeeper Uncle Yu to come to the Ma Family Inn in advance and paid a fee for Yu Tianlu and them.

"Shopkeeper Feng, this money should be enough for the two children for a year. You've got to take care of them! Before leaving, Uncle Yu also gave a thousand instructions.

"Don't worry! I'm not just for the money, these two little guys are indeed the dragon and phoenix among the people when I come into contact with them. They are soaring in the future, and it is also the blessing of our Majia Inn! Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly said.

"But there's something I need to tell you."

"Steward Yu, please speak!"

"Even you must not reveal what I came to you about."

"Why is that?"

"Our eldest lady doesn't want them to know that they have received the favor of the Xiang family."

"I see! Don't worry, Steward Yu, I'll keep my mouth shut! Shopkeeper Feng said seriously.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Feng looked at the two children, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I don't know how you two little ghosts climbed the high branch of Xiangjia." ”

"Shopkeeper!" At this time, a guy ran in from outside and said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, the goods you ordered have arrived, and you need to hurry up and check it out." ”

"Then I'll go!" Turning around, Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly greeted Yu Tianlu, "Okay, two, I still have some things to deal with, you can eat slowly!" ”

"You're busy, you're busy!" The two children politely returned the salute.

Shopkeeper Feng quickly followed the guy out of the door, while Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue continued to eat.

In Yan Yue's words, to turn grief into appetite, he ate several plates of beef in one go. Yu Tianlu, who was on the side, rolled his eyes.

"I said Ah Yue, even if Shopkeeper Feng says he doesn't want our money, we can't get an inch like this!" Yu Tianlu hurriedly said.

"Got it, got it! I'm going to mess around for a while today, and I'm going to find a part-time job tomorrow! Yan Yue patted his chest and said.

"I didn't expect the big stomach king to know to do odd jobs!"

"Isn't that what you said? That one... That one... You don't eat that..."

"It's a gentleman who doesn't eat the food that comes from it!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! I don't want to be a parasite who eats and drinks! Yan Yue said seriously.

"What a gentleman doesn't eat! I really didn't expect such bold words to come from the mouth of a doll! Suddenly, an old voice floated faintly in the corner of the inn hall.

It's not a restaurant at the moment, and there aren't too many guests in the huge dining room.

"Who is it?" Yan Yue curiously searched for prestige.

"Strange, how does this sound seem to have been heard before!" Yu Tianlu was a little surprised, "Could it be ......?"

Yan Yue took a closer look and found an old man in ragged clothes sitting in the southeast corner of the hall. He had a flask in his hand and a plate of side dishes in front of him.

"This old man seems to be having a bad time!" Yan Yue looked back at the food on his table, and suddenly felt pity, "Xiao Lu, can we let the old man come over and dine with us!" ”

"No problem, look at this old man's ...... thinness" Yu Tianlu also rose to sympathy.

"Old man, do you want to come here?" Yan Yue said loudly.

"That's a good idea!" The old man was not polite, and he had already sat down at Yu Tianlu's table as he spoke.

"This old man is so powerful!" Yu Tianlu was also surprised. Because just now he didn't even see the old man make any movements, as if he was sitting there.

"You two children are not bad, but your sentence just now that you don't eat the food that comes from you makes it a little difficult for me to ride a tiger!" The old man smiled awkwardly.

"Might as well be! We ask you not to give alms, but to be a gift exchange between friends! Yu Tianlu hurriedly said.

"Friends? I didn't expect you two kids to be friends with a bad old man like me! The old man laughed, "It's not like the Royal Academy, which turned me away." ”

"Why sir, you were also persecuted by the Royal Academy?" Yan Yue hurriedly asked.

"It's not persecution, it's just despised!" The old man sighed, "I went there to apply for a job as a cleaner, but they refused to hire me on the grounds that my image was not good." What a reason! ”

"This ......" Looking at the old man's unkempt appearance, Yu Tianlu said in his heart, "To be honest, this is not to blame the Royal Academy. ”

At this time, when Yan Yue heard this, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"This Royal Academy is just so hateful. The old man just wants to make some hard-earned money by his ability, and they don't even let him be really cold-blooded! Yan Yue said loudly.

"Kid, it looks like you've had a holiday with the Royal Academy, too?" The old man seemed to see Yan Yue's thoughts.

"Of course, sir, you don't know anything. Actually, we are in the same situation as you. Xiaolu, there is a saying, what is it... What people..."

"That's called 'the end of the world'!" Yu Tianlu added.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Uncle, we are in sympathy with you! ”

"It turns out that the two little friends also had a holiday with the Royal Academy!" The old man made a puzzled expression.

"That's right, that's right, we're actually ......"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yue told himself and Yu Tianlu that they had passed the entrance exam, but they were forced out of the school by Wei Jinmo, the vice principal of the Royal Academy.

Yu Tianlu on the side kept giving Yan Yue a look.

However, this big man with big nerves was not wary at all, and told everything about what happened like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.

After hearing what happened to the two, the old man's face was full of sympathy.

"A guy who has lived for half his life has actually used his means on two underage children. This 'Tibetan knife laughing and laughing' is really promising! The old man sneered.

"What 'Tibetan knife smiles'?" Yan Yue asked curiously.

"'Tibetan knife laughing and laughing' is the nickname of that Wei Jinmo!" The old man explained.

"It's really as good as its name!" Yu Tianlu couldn't help laughing and said, "Today, we have learned his ability to hide a knife in his smile." ”

"Then the two little brothers, if you don't enter the Royal Academy this time, what are you going to do?" After the old man swallowed a piece of beef, he asked with a smile.

"Xiao Lu means to settle down in the provincial capital first and see if there are other opportunities!" Yan Yue said, "There should be other colleges in this provincial city!" ”

"Of course, the academy has it, but there is a problem!" The old man said in embarrassment, "As far as I know, the enrollment time period of most of the high-level universities in the provincial capital and the Royal Academy coincides. ”

"What does that mean?" Yan Yue was a little confused when he heard this.

Yu Tianlu's face changed greatly.

"This is a problem! It was my negligence! ”

"What's the matter, Xiaolu, what does the old man mean!" Yan Yue hurriedly asked.

"Ah Yue, what the old man means is that the other academies and the Royal Academy are recruiting students at the same time. And their exams aren't as complicated as the Royal Academy, so it's likely that all admissions have been closed by now! Yu Tianlu replied.

"Ahh How so! ”
