Chapter Ninety-Nine
After a while, Li Chen came to the only restaurant in Xiaoyuanmen.
The restaurant is not big, there are only two floors, the first floor is open to disciples, and the second floor is open to the high-level people in Xiaoyuanmen, deacons, elders, and door masters.
At this time, it was noon, there were many people, and there were many disciples coming and going within the first floor, and most of them were sixth-level novice disciples.
After all, the rookie disciples are all in the Destiny Spirit Realm, and they have not yet met the requirements of Bigu, so they can't go on a hunger strike.
Second, most of the newcomer disciples are disciples of big families or big forces in the Tianyuan Empire, how can they get the delicacies of the mountains and seas on weekdays, if they don't eat a meal, and they don't eat well, where can they adapt to it at this time.
Li Chen was patient, followed the flow of people, and sat down at a remote empty table.
As for the thin man, Porphy, who was dumbfounded, walked to the other side of the table and sat down.
Li Chen: "......"
"Well, why are you here?"
A surprised voice sounded from the side, and Li Chen followed the prestige and saw Cheng Lanhua, who was still dressed in a red robe, hearty and eye-catching.
Li Chen straightened his face and replied lightly: "I heard that the dishes here are good, so let's try it." ”
"Haha, I didn't expect that such a cold person as you would have a time when you were gluttonous. When Cheng Lanhua heard this, she immediately laughed and teased Li Chen, and then looked at Porphyry on the side, and asked in a daze, "Hey, who is this?"
Li Chen's body moved to the side so that Cheng Lanhua could sit down. "This Brother Porphyry was sent by my master to 'discipline' me. ”
The tone of the word discipline was slightly low, and Cheng Lanhua's eyes jumped when he heard it.
"Oh oh, it turned out to be Senior Brother Porphyry, I didn't know it below, and I hope Senior Brother will be surprised. Cheng Lanhua stared straight at Porphy, and when she saw the other party's very strange appearance, she was also vigilant in her heart.
For Cheng Lanhua's apology, Porphy didn't react much, just nodded, and hummed in a hoarse voice.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the three of them just sat like this, saying nothing.
But fortunately, soon a junior came up.
Xiao Er is a miscellaneous disciple of Xiao Yuanmen, who has barely reached the consummation of the Destiny Spirit Realm, and is respectfully handing the rubbing score to Li Chen at this moment. "May I ask what the guests need?"
Li Chen took the recipe and ordered a few nice dishes and a plate of steamed buns on it, and then handed the recipe back.
After Xiao Er left, the atmosphere fell into a strange and embarrassing state again.
After a while, the dishes were ready, and under the creepy gaze of Porphyry, Li Chen and Cheng Lanhua ate an unusually painful meal.
After eating the last bite of the bun, Li Chen took a small sip of water, rested for a few breaths, and then got up and went to the counter to pay the bill.
"I owe you a meal, if it's okay, then I'll leave first!" Cheng Lanhua said to Li Chen, sighing in a tone, with a slight hint in it.
Li Chen nodded, and a hum was a response.
After Cheng Lanhua left, Li Chen sat down and rested for a while, and then walked towards the thatched house of the inn.
Outside the thatched house, Li Chen looked at Porphy who was following behind him, and said, "Senior Brother Porye, I want to go to the toilet, please wait outside." ”
Porphyry froze in place for a long time before nodding.
Li Chen walked in.
As soon as Fang walked into the latrine, Li Chen was pulled into a certain compartment by a hand.
"Why did you come here, I'm almost killed by the stench here. Cheng Lanhua pinched her nose with her hand and complained with a sad face.
When Li Chen heard this, he was about to speak, but he cautiously looked in the direction of the door.
Seeing this, Cheng Lanhua patted Li Chen's shoulder and said proudly: "You can rest assured, I have already laid a soundproof array here, and people outside can't hear us talking." ”
"Soundproofing array. Li Chen's face showed a slight look of surprise.
Cheng Lanhua said with joy and excitement on her face: "Yes, I just learned from the master yesterday. Isn't it amazing?"
Seeing the other party's happy appearance, Li Chen also smiled and nodded.
Cheng Lanhua suddenly reacted, her face was straight, and she asked with a solemn expression, "What the hell is going on?"
Li Chen's brows furrowed, and he said with a sinking face: "I suspect that the Supreme Elder is targeting me. ”
"What!!" Cheng Lanhua was shocked. "You, you, you, what did you say that the Supreme Elder was eyeing you!?"
Li Chen nodded with a calm face. "This Porphyry was sent by him to spy on me, and I'm afraid that he is preparing something, and in seven days, he will probably do something to me. ”
Cheng Lanhua hurriedly said: "Then what are you still doing here, don't you run away quickly." ”
When Li Chen heard this, he shook his head and said: "It's useless, since the other party has done it so blatantly, it proves that he has enough means to keep me from escaping from Xiaoyuanmen." ”
"So what now? It's not like you're going to die doing nothing. Besides, knowing that the Phaseless Cave is the death place of the Longtan Tiger's Den, do you still want to break into it?" Cheng Lanhua's face was full of anxiety, and he seemed even more anxious than Li Chen himself.
Li Chen's heart warmed slightly, at least in such an almost desperate situation, he was not alone.
Taking a deep breath, Li Chen said calmly: "So I need your help!"
"Help, what do you need me to help with?" Cheng Lanhua's eyes froze, and she looked straight at Li Chen, looking like she was going to the soup and going to the fire, and Li Chen's heart was warm.
Li Chen patted the other party's shoulder. "Actually, it's nothing, I just want you to secretly investigate all the information about this Supreme Elder. ”
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
The Supreme Elder did not directly show up to arrest him, nor did he directly summon him over, so he must not have any absolute certainty about arresting him, so he still has a chance to turn the tables.
The key to breaking the situation now is whether he can find the weakness of this Supreme Elder.
As long as he finds the weakness of the other party, he has the possibility of turning defeat into victory!
"That's fine. When Cheng Lanhua heard this, she immediately patted her chest.
Seeing this, Li Chen didn't say anything, but his heart was extremely warm.
Li Chen knew what a dangerous whirlpool he was in now. And Cheng Lanhua is willing to take great risks to help himself at such a time, this kind of kindness, Li Chen didn't say it, but he already remembered it in his heart.
Li Chen just wanted to say something more, but his expression changed, he closed his mouth instead, took out some of the formation scrolls left by his brother from the space ring and handed them to Cheng Lanhua.
Immediately, he opened the door and walked out.
Cheng Lanhua looked at Li Chen's back and sighed solemnly.
Instead, he retracted the scrolls into the storage ring, waited a few breaths, and then walked out and returned to his quarters.
