Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

In the past, there were only the grandfather and grandson at the dinner, but today, the entire table was filled.

Yao Jun sat alone on the side, with a cool look on his face, making it difficult for people to get close to him.

Batian's physique was as domineering as his name. He sat on Yao Jun's left hand side, behaved well and did not overstep his authority.

Grandpa Chen was sitting opposite Yao Jun. Xiao Luo had to serve Chen Xi, so she was not allowed to sit down originally. However, under Chen Xi's dominance, she sat on the same bench with her.

The dishes tonight are also quite rich, including fish fillets in vinegar, sliced ​​roast lamb legs, and boiled lamb left over from lunch.

In the center of the table was a large bowl of milky white fish soup with a few green spots floating on top as garnish.

After everyone sat down, Batian stood up and picked up the wine jug, first pouring a bowl for the host, then for Grandpa Chen, and finally for himself.

But Yao Jun ignored him. His handsome eyes were fixed on the fish soup and fish slices on the table. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The taste is salty and fresh with a hint of sourness from plums, and the fish meat is extremely tender.

Yao Jun looked at Chen Xi, nodded with satisfaction and approval in his eyes, and then started eating with his chopsticks.

Chen Xi felt embarrassed being stared at and her face turned pink, but she thought that girls should be reserved. She didn't know what the other person meant, and she hadn't expected it either, so she tried hard to control herself and not think too much about it.

Xiao Luo stood up and first served Grandpa Chen a bowl of fish soup, and then Chen Xi. She didn't pay any attention to Yao Jun and Batian, as there was no need for her to do so.

During this day, she had already figured it out. As long as she took good care of Chen Xi, Yao Jun would not blame her even if she overstepped her bounds a little.

Moreover, Yao Jun didn't even wait for her. He served himself a bowl and started drinking. He didn't need her to serve him at all. There was no need to care about Batian at all. He didn't even move his chopsticks and just drank the wine.

After drinking a few sips of fish soup and warming up a little, Chen Xi asked, "Master, that person last night was Master Lie?"

This incident has become the biggest news in the capital, and even angered the king, who ordered to find the real culprit. Now there are not many people in the city who don't know about this.

Only Chen Xi, who had been lying in the house for a whole day, and Xiao Luo, who had been taking care of her and couldn't leave the shop, didn't know.

Yao Jun put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, then took out another bamboo slip from his arms and wrote: "Yes, you should know what kind of person Gongzi Lie is, so you still blame me for killing him?"

Chen Xi shook her head. She had never blamed him for killing those people. After all, if Yao Jun hadn't been there last night, who knows what kind of danger they would have encountered, and she would have definitely been insulted.

She is not a saint, and she will not be magnanimous to those who want to hurt her.

What concerned her was the indifference to human life, which was chilling and frightening.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Yao Jun said nothing more and continued to eat dinner.

Batian drank a bowl of wine, poured himself another bowl, and began to speak: "The son of Chen State, Chen Lie, is the thirteenth son of the current ruler Chen Muzhe. His mother is the second daughter of a general of Chen State, and she has three sons. Madam Qingyue is the favorite."

"This kid has been spoiled since he was young, so of course he has the qualifications."

"She was killed last night and her body was hung on the city wall. Let alone Madam Qingyue, she can turn the capital upside down."

"Not to mention that this matter is a contempt for the royal authority. The king is also furious. Now it is difficult to enter and leave the city."

"And this matter originally had nothing to do with you, young master."

"For them, this matter must have a result, regardless of whether the result is correct or not, because they just want this result to silence the people of the world."

Batian raised his head and looked at Chen Xi opposite him with his tiger eyes, his expression extremely serious, "Although what we did last night was relatively clean, there is no guarantee that they won't find out about you."

"With their style of doing things, they don't need any reasons or evidence. After all, they can have as much of these things as they want."

Chen Xi's face gradually turned pale. She knew that Batian was reminding her to make preparations early.

Grandpa Chen stood up quickly, bowed deeply to Batian, and begged in a trembling voice: "Please save Xixi."

Batian was indifferent to the old man's request. He didn't even look at her. He just stared at Chen Xi opposite him, wanting to know what she would say.

He was raised in a large mansion since he was young. After he fell ill as a child, he rarely went out and almost never went to school. He hired a tutor to teach him at home.

Chen Xi was so well protected by his family in modern times that, apart from the fire, he had never seen any of the dangers of the world.

Even though he traveled to ancient times, everything was peaceful at the beginning, and he lived a good life with his knowledge and cooking skills.

Chen Xi has a small heart and just wants to live a quiet life, occasionally using the modern knowledge in his mind to change his life.

However, even this small wish was shattered by the news that Prince Jun was about to visit the State of Chen on the orders of the Emperor, and she was summoned to the palace to study.

Now hearing what Batian said, it was as if a thunder exploded in his mind, and Chen Xi was panicked and at a loss.

It's clearly not her fault, why should she bear all these things? Is there no place for reason in this world?

Xiao Luo supported Chen Xi, gently stroked her back, and whispered comforting words in her ear, but her eyes were secretly looking at Yao Jun, who looked calm and composed.

This calmness and composure are not something that an ordinary maid can possess. Moreover, she is only in her teens, which would probably be a junior high school student in modern times.

Yao Jun glanced at her indifferently and knocked the wine bowl three times with his chopsticks.

Dang, Dang, Dang

The crisp sound made Chen Xi regain some composure and he looked towards Yao Jun.

"Have a meal."

Yao Jun didn't look at anyone. His eyes were still fixed on the delicacies on the table. His expression was quite calm, as if what they had just talked about was nothing in his eyes.

Batian let out a strange laugh, picked up the wine bowl and drank it in big gulps, then stood up suddenly like an iron tower. He grabbed his collar and pulled it down, revealing a patch of chest hair and a green word tattooed on his heart.

sir!

Chen Xi and Grandpa Chen didn't understand what this word meant. They looked confused and didn't understand what "Batian" meant.

When Xiao Luo saw this word, her eyes were filled with fear and she was shaking like a sieve.

Chen Xi noticed her abnormality and asked quickly: "Xiao Luo, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Luo bit her lips tightly, suddenly hugged Chen Xi with both hands, buried her head in her arms, and said nothing.

Although Xiao Luo didn't say anything, she said everything. Chen Xi hugged her back and looked even uglier. "Mr. Bai, can you explain it?"

Yao Jun glanced at her coldly, then looked at Batian and said in a neutral tone, "Sit down and eat."

Batian bowed his head respectfully, straightened his clothes, sat down again, and said no more.

I originally thought they were friends, but looking at Batian's appearance, it was obvious that they were not just friends. Chen Xi looked at Yao Jun with a pale face and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Bai, you..."

"trouble!"

Yao Jun frowned in dissatisfaction, put down his chopsticks, took off the veil on his face, and turned to look at Chen Xi.

Looking at her pale little face and thinking that she had just recovered from her illness, the words of reprimand got stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them.

“So many things!”

Yao Jun suddenly stood up, opened his big hands, grabbed Batian's neck and lifted him into the air, then strode towards the door.

Open the shop door, throw Tyrant out, close the door and bolt it.

After finishing this task, Yao Jun turned back to his seat, picked up the chopsticks, and knocked on the bowl three times again.

"Have a meal!"
