The person who came stroked the little mustache on his lips, "I am the Hu steward of the steward's hall, in charge of the chores of the inner door." Working in our steward's hall, the treatment is no worse than being an ordinary outer disciple. ”

Bai Ruo bowed slightly, "Careless, the disciple has just started, I'm afraid I can't afford such an errand." ”

Steward Hu's inexplicable gaze slid over Bai Ruo and landed on Xiao Shu, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Shu didn't think about it, and said, "I think the same thing as Bai Ruo. ”

The steward looked at them and said slowly: "You go back, think about it, the opportunity to enter the inner door is not something that everyone has......"

Bai Ruo answered, finished his work with Xiaoshu and left.

On the way back, Xiaoshu rubbed his arms from time to time and muttered in a low voice, "That nonsense always feels weird, and he has bad intentions when he looks at it." ”

Bai Ruo agreed, "Hang him for two days first, and see what other tricks he has." ”

The next day, Bai Ruo and Xiaoshu were secretly opening a small stove, and Zhou Lu rushed into their dormitory in a panic.

Bai Ruo's hand that was about to extinguish the stove just lifted, and silently put it back, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Lu spoke quickly, "A steward of the inner gate steward's hall suddenly asked me to go to the inner door to do things!" ”

Bai Ruo added a fire to the stove, "And then, you promised him?" ”

Zhou Lu shook his head again and again, "How can that." It is so difficult for the outer door to enter the inner door, and the senior brothers and sisters don't know how many years of hard work and hard work they have to have the opportunity to enter the inner door, so he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, and he is not afraid of this pie smashing people to death. ”

Bai Ruo curled the corner of his lower lip and took out a piece of baked cake from the iron bucket on the stove, "Oh, give you a piece of cake that can't be killed and taste it first." ”

Zhou Lu turned out to be a little hot baked cake, and he tossed back and forth twice on his left and right hands, and blew a few breaths.

In the next second, he looked at Bai Ruo and the others strangely, "Why aren't you shocked at all?" ”

Bai Ruo also picked up a piece of baked cake and took a bite, and said vaguely: "Because he also handed the cake to our mouths." ”

Zhou Lu let out a dumbfounded "ah", and then jumped up, "You didn't tell me about such a big thing?" ”

Bai Ruo concentrated on nibbling on the cake, "This is obviously a problematic cake, anyway, we don't eat it indiscriminately, doesn't it seem like a fuss when we say it......"

Zhou Lu looked at her keenly, "Are you saying I'm making a fuss?" ”

Bai Ruo pushed his hand and stuffed the cake into his mouth, "How come, it's you who are too careful." ”

Zhou Lu's mouth was tightly blocked by the baked cake, and he was quickly distracted by the deliciousness, "This cake is so delicious, fragrant and crispy......"

In his sincere praise, Xiaoshu was satisfied with the rest of the bread in front of him, "Eat with confidence, the bread is enough!" ”

Chapter 95: Bloodline

Bai Ruo and the three of them rejected Steward Hu's invitation one after another, but another girl from Zhou Village, Zhou Shuizhi, agreed to Steward Hu's invitation.

When Zhou Lu heard about this, he hurriedly came to the door and asked, "Shui Zhi, did you promise Steward Zhou to go to the steward hall to do things?" ”

Zhou Shuizhi replied softly.

Zhou Lu moved his lips, "Going to the stewardship hall is different from going to be an inner disciple, do you know?" ”

Although the steward's hall is in the inner gate, it sounds better than the outer door, but if you become a steward, your status will naturally be above that of the outer disciples.

However, the affairs of the steward's hall are complicated, which will inevitably delay cultivation, and it will be even more difficult to achieve something on the way to cultivation.

Zhou Shuizhi nodded and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

Zhou Lu frowned, "Do you know how to ...... it"

Zhou Shuizhi interrupted him, and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, "Brother Xiaolu, I came to Xuantian Sect to live a good life, and the same is true for going to the steward's hall. ”

"We came to Xuantian Sect in the same batch, and all the talented ones have already drawn qi into the body and started to learn basic spells. And I haven't even figured out the way to bleed air. Rather than wasting time like this, it is better to find another way out early. ”

Zhou Lu wanted to speak and stopped.

He was busy inquiring about the news of the housekeeper a while ago, but he also naturally succeeded in inducing qi during a day of meditation, Bai Ruo and Yan Tan heard that it was also going well, he didn't expect Zhou Shuizhi to have such an idea.

Zhou Lu thought about it again and again, but still reminded: "Shui Zhi, there is no free lunch in the world. The steward's hall suddenly recruits people from the outside door, you still have to be careful. ”

Zhou Shuizhi responded casually.

Looking at her expression, she didn't seem to take this matter too seriously.

Zhou Lu didn't say much, he came this time, it was also for the sake of the same village, and if he persuaded him again, it would be annoying.

That night, when Zhou Lu came to Bai Ruo and Xiaoshu to have dinner here, he couldn't help but express his worries.

Bai Ruo rolled his eyes and gave him an idea, "The outer disciples can't enter the inner gate casually, and it's not that the inner and outer doors can't communicate, if you are really worried, contact her regularly, and if something happens, you can also know in time." ”

Zhou Lu's eyes lit up, "You're right!" ”

I don't know if it was because Steward Hu caught Zhou Shuizhi, a strong man, Bai Ruo and Xiaoshu never received the task of the steward hall again.

Until half a month later, in a Dao class, Zhou Lu frequently wandered, and even after the class, the rest of the people dispersed, and he was still sitting in place in a daze.

Bai Ruolin stretched out his hand and patted him before leaving, "Do you want to settle here?" ”

Zhou Lu suddenly came back to his senses, "Wait, I have something to tell you." ”

Bai Ruo's eyebrows moved slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Lu said: "Shui Zhi hasn't replied to me for two days, do you think something happened?" ”

Bai Ruo asked, "Did she reply in a timely manner before?" ”

Zhou Lu immediately said: "She has always replied to letters on the same day, and occasionally she is busy with errands, and she returns every other day, and she has never been delayed for such a long time......"

Bai Ruo soothed: "Don't worry, I'll send a message to Senior Sister Wei and Senior Brother Chen to ask, they are both at the inner door, and it is more convenient to find Shui Zhi than us." ”

While speaking, a boy with a raw face appeared at the window, "Who is Zhou Lu?" ”

Zhou Lu got up suddenly, "It's me." ”

The boy waved the letter in his hand, "There is a letter from you." ”

Zhou Lu hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter, opened it and read it.

After a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's Shui Zhi who was sent to do an important errand, and he hasn't been in the stewardship hall for the past two days, so he didn't reply in time." ”

Bai Ruo said, "It's okay, I'll tell Senior Sister Wei, you can ask her to take care of Shui Zhi occasionally." ”

Zhou Lu put away the letter and thanked him.

The next day, Bai Ruo looked at Senior Sister Wei's reply and frowned.

Xiaoshu said that the freshly baked flower cake was brought to her, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Ruo shook the letter, "Senior Sister Wei said that she had been to the steward's hall, but she didn't find a girl named Zhou Shuizhi there. ”

Xiao Shu's hand shook and almost threw the whole plate of flower cake to the ground, "Who is the person who replied to Zhou Lu?" ”

Bai Ruo took out the token he had taken from the housekeeper earlier, "It seems that we can only go to the inner gate one more time." ”

As night fell, Bai Ruo and Xiaoshu cautiously slipped out of the dormitory and sneaked towards the inner door.

They came to the steward's hall with all their familiarity.

In front of the dark steward's hall, there were only two dim lanterns, which looked a little gloomy.

Xiaoshu subconsciously tightened Bai Ruo's cuffs.

Bai Ruo felt the weight coming from his arm, and simply grabbed his hand.

"It's okay, it's full of people, no ghosts."

Xiaoshu muttered in a low voice, "Some people are more terrible than ghosts. ”

Bai Ruo took the small tree into the courtyard and walked to the house where the housekeeper and the steward met according to his memory.

The room was quiet, Bai Ruo pricked up his ears and listened for a while, "There is no one inside." ”

They crept into the room and rummaged through it, and it didn't look like much of anything special except for a few ledger clutter scattered on the countertop.

Bai Ruo was about to leave and go to another room to have a look, but there were two footsteps outside.

Bai Ruo hurriedly pushed the small tree and squeezed into the nearest cabinet together.

The moment the cabinet door closed, two figures walked in one after the other, and the candles lit up in the room, illuminating the faces of the visitors, one of whom was the steward.

"How's it going, are there any results from the test?"

The person behind Steward Hu said in a low voice: "The result is not ideal, the blood in her body is too thin, and Acacia Yin has almost no reaction." ”

There was some impatience in Steward Hu's voice, "If it doesn't work, let's deal with it as soon as possible." ”

The subordinate said respectfully: "She has a correspondence with an outer disciple, if it is suddenly broken, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion." ”

A gleam flashed in Steward Hu's eyes, "Who is the person who contacted her?" ”

The subordinate replied, "It's a disciple named Zhou Lu." ”

The steward stroked his beard and said slowly: "This is not just right, bring him with you, and no one will be held accountable." ”

Bai Ruo looked through the gap in the cabinet door, looking at the shadow on Steward Hu's face, and felt a sigh in his heart.

Not surprisingly, Zhou Shuizhi is afraid that he will be more than lucky.

It's just that what is so special about the bloodline of Zhou Village that makes them work so hard?

Chapter 96: The Plot Missed

After a brief explanation from the manager, the manager and his subordinates left in a hurry.

After Bai Ruo and Xiaoshu and the others walked away, they came out of the cabinet.

Xiao Shu said anxiously: "What to do, they are going to attack Zhou Lu next." ”

Bai Ruo looked at Xiaoshu's eyes, and suddenly a year was born in his heart, "Can you become the appearance of Zhou Lu?" ”

Xiaoshu and Zhou Lu are similar in shape, only their skin color and facial features are different, even if there is a slight difference in their shape, people who are not familiar with it should not be able to recognize it.

Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I can try."

Bai Ruo pulled him out, "Let's go back to the outer gate first." ”
