Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Chapter 228 A sect comparable to that of the princes!

Chen Xi, Grandpa Chen, and Xiao Luo all noticed that Yao Jun was in a bad mood, and they repeated the word "eat" several times.

So after Batian was thrown out, the three of them started eating and stopped asking more questions. No matter how much they asked, the other party might not tell them.

Chen Xi looked at Xiao Luo and opened her mouth to say something, but was blocked by Xiao Luo with a fish slice, "Miss, can we talk after dinner?"

Yao Jun moved his ears, looking unhappy, put down his chopsticks again, picked up a bamboo slip, wrote a line of words and placed it in front of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi raised his eyes and took a look. He was still as handsome as ever, with both masculine handsomeness and feminine beauty. He was like an immortal or a god, not an ordinary person.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xi picked up the bamboo piece and looked at it.

"Make more delicious food to keep you safe."

Chen Xi wanted to laugh, so she laughed out loud. Seeing Grandpa and Xiao Luo looking at her, she quickly stopped laughing and put the bamboo stick on the table.

When looking at Yao Jun, two big words flashed through Chen Xi's mind: foodie!

Chen Xi wanted to ask him now, is it worth going against a powerful lord just for a few bites of food? And putting himself in danger?

In the capital of Chen State, the prince of Chen State was killed, which angered the king of Chen State and the most favored Madam Qingyue.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is too fantastic.

If he wasn't just doing it for food, then what was the reason?

Chen Xi stared at that peerless beauty in a daze, not even noticing the lamb leg that Xiao Luo put next to her mouth.

Grandpa Chen looked at her like this and drank a sip of wine in depression. He was worried about the uncertain future and his granddaughter's life-long affairs.

Xiao Luo pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Miss, my hands are sore."

"Ok?"

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was lost in thought just now. But in the eyes of his grandfather and Xiao Luo, he was staring at Mr. Bai.

After giving Xiao Luo a shy look, Chen Xi opened his mouth and swallowed the lamb leg. He then ate his dinner peacefully and stopped thinking about random things. If there was anything, he should talk about it after dinner.

Batian, who had just been thrown out of the store, stood up from the ground, shook off the dust on his body, and walked away nonchalantly before his brothers came over to tease him.

Humph, who else but me can be treated like this by the master!

Brothers: ...

After dinner, Xiao Luo cleaned the table neatly by herself, then boiled a pot of hot water and made some tea and brought it out.

During the meal, Chen Xi had already thought it through, so while Xiao Luo was boiling water, he called Grandpa to the backyard and said, "Grandpa, we probably can't stay in the capital anymore, and I can't go to the palace either!"

Such a big thing had happened, and Grandpa Chen certainly understood this truth, but the problem now was that all four gates of the city wall were blocked, so how could they leave?

"Xixi, Grandpa knows what you said, but the Queen will definitely send someone, and the royal family will probably send someone too, and we can't leave the city now."

Chen Xi was also worried about this. If they were to rely on just the two of them, grandfather and grandson, they would be hard to get out of this situation even if they had wings. But there was a foodie who could help them.

"Grandpa, I'll talk to Mr. Bai later. I don't think he will abandon us."

Grandpa Chen looked at her and hesitated to speak. Finally, he could only sigh helplessly: "Well, Xixi has grown up."

Chen Xi was also feeling uncomfortable and confused about the future, but saving his life was the most important thing now. After he calmed down, he said, "Grandpa, we can't open the breakfast shop anymore. I will continue to pretend to be sick!"

"You can take care of the tea stall. During the day, it's best to go to the herbal medicine shop a few more times to ask for prescriptions. Don't worry about anything else."

Grandpa Chen nodded: "Just listen to Xixi."

After the grandfather and grandson finished chatting, they returned to the shop. Xiao Luo had already brewed the tea and placed three bowls of brown tea on the table.

Chen Xi: "Xiao Luo, you've been busy all day, go and have a rest."

Xiao Luo was smart. She knew that Chen Xi had something to say to the young master, so she answered yes and went to the backyard to get a wooden basin. She went to the kitchen to get some hot water and went to Chen Xi's room to wash herself. She would rest in the same room with Chen Xi at night, so it would be convenient for her to get up and take care of him at any time.

Grandpa Chen picked up a bowl of tea and went back to the house.

Chen Xi sat on the stool, picked up the bamboo stick on the table and picked up the wick. The dim shop suddenly became brighter.

Yao Jun drank his tea calmly without even looking at Chen Xi, so Chen Xi couldn't tell his attitude.

"Mr. Bai, what should we do next?" Chen Xi asked directly without beating around the bush.

Yao Jun threw the bamboo slip he had already written on it over.

"Just pretend to be sick, don't worry about the rest."

After Chen Xi finished reading, he put the bamboo slip on the table and pushed it back. After thinking for a while, he said worriedly, "When Master Lie came last night, he didn't hide his whereabouts. Madam Qingyue loves her son very much. What should I do if she comes to find me?"

Yao Jun picked up the bamboo strips, put them back because he thought it was troublesome, and continued to pretend that his throat was not healed and said, "The king has more than 20 sons. Madam Qingyue's eldest son, the fourth prince, has always been close to the generals of Chen State, and has recently been in contact with the six officials."

"Even if Chen Muzhe is furious, the investigation won't go smoothly. I don't know how many people will trip him up in private."

"At least the eldest and second princes won't watch them turn the country upside down. There are many things involved."

"For example, the mobilization of the city guards and the right to search and arrest. If they go too far, even Chen Muzhe will not agree."

Yao Jun chuckled and said, "There is no father and son relationship when it comes to power."

Chen Xi looked at him blankly and asked, "You seem to be very familiar with these things?"

"You will know later." Yao Jun smiled mysteriously.

Later? Do we have a later?

That's right, I want to be his cook, but why does it sound so fantasy-inducing?

Chen Xi lowered his head quickly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip to dispel his nervousness, then turned into a curious baby and asked, "Even so, if I am found, they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, right?"

"After all, they are a family, aren't they?"

"Just like... the gentleman you threw out said, they need to shut up the world."

"They can't stop it." Yao Jun said in a sonorous voice, then picked up a bamboo slip, wrote the word "Jun" on it and threw it over.

Chen Xi picked up the bamboo slip and saw that there was only one word "Jun" on it. She immediately thought of the tattoo on Batian's chest. She had wanted to ask about it when they were having dinner before.

"Sir, what does this word mean?"

Yao Jun: "This is a ranger organization, and its name is Jun Ye."

"Ranger Organization?" Chen Xi blinked, then suddenly widened his eyes, remembering something, and asked, "Is it a sect in the martial arts world?"

Another young woman who was poisoned by novels, Yao Jun thought to himself.

"Martial arts sect? What is that?" Yao Jun asked pretending to be confused.

Are there no martial arts sects in this era?

Great!

Chen Xi calmed down his nervousness and racked his brains to explain: "Jianghu refers to rivers, seas and lakes, which refers to the whole world. Sects refer to the forces that rule one side."

"For example, the princes in various places can also be regarded as a larger and more powerful sect."

Yao Jun's eyelids twitched violently a few times. Don't you even think before you tell lies?

Although there is nothing wrong with her explanation, comparing a sect to a prince is really outrageous!

Does she know what it means to be a prince who controls a region?

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he secretly observed Yao Jun's expression.

Why does it feel like his expression is wrong?

There is nothing wrong with what I said. The sects in novels are comparable to princes, and each one of them is so powerful.

Chen Xi asked cautiously: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Yao Jun looked at her with a fake smile.

"It's okay, I just think the Jianghu sect is pretty powerful."

"Yes...yes, hehe." Chen Xi laughed dryly.
