lead fades away

——Could it be man and beast... no, love? !

Qingshi's first thought was really not very good, but then he felt that Jiang Zhe should not be a child of adultery, otherwise, even if he hadn't died in the womb, he would not have survived until now, and Han Shuo took care of him again .

"It's good for you to know about this matter in your heart. Don't go out and publicize it, even Fengxi, don't tell it." Han Shuo warned.

"I understand that if this matter gets out, it will be a scandal that will shock the entire Upper Realm. Even Lu Siyuan will be far behind." Qing Shi nodded, and then looked at Han Shuo suspiciously, "Could it be that this matter is yours?" I just found out, why don't you ask me to take care of him today?"

"After the news about me taking him into the Elder's Hall got out, Immortal Ruan Xi came to me and told me about his life experience." Han Shuo said, "Ruan Xi only said that this child is dull-tempered and doesn't get close to anyone. He didn’t make a sound when he was bullied, and he didn’t tell anyone about anything, so I would take care of him. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, I just thought that he had lived for more than 100 years by himself anyway, and his cultivation was not very good. Low, a little more guidance during the lectures is enough, so I don’t need to use the word care.”

"Then today..."

"When I was teaching today, everyone was watching me perform the sword, but there was a sudden grunt on his side, and he was so hungry." Han Shuo smiled wryly, "A student from the Foundation Establishment Stage actually came into my Elder Hall. I am so hungry that if I tell this, no one will believe me!"

"Ah!" Qingshi clapped his hands suddenly, and then showed a worried face, "I'm afraid I will be blamed for this matter. When he first came, he asked the handymen for food. I didn't take it seriously, and let the handymen not use it." Prepare……"

"What can I blame you for? I haven't heard of any elders' hall preparing food for disciples." Han Shuo waved his hand and said, "However, you should pay more attention to him in the future. No matter what he wants, he can supply it." Just supply as much as you can, if you can’t supply, let me know.”

"Don't worry, at least he won't let him starve to death in your elder hall." Qing Shi said, frowning, and raised his doubts, "But even if there is no food in this elder hall, Waishan There is a large canteen, and they don’t accept spirit stones, how could he be so hungry that he growled in front of you?”

"Ask me?" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows.

"Well, pretend I didn't ask." Qing Shi curled his lips, and then said, "By the way, you only said that Jiang Zhe's grandfather and mother are gone, but you didn't say where his... biological father is. No way... so what?"

"Ruan Xi didn't say anything, so it's not easy for me to ask." Han Shuo shook his head.

—Another anecdote.

Qing Shi shrugged, turned around and went back to clean up the jars of "spiritual wine" that had been turned into dross by himself.However, these pots of spirit wine that looked like mud and tasted like yellow lotus unexpectedly caught Han Shuo's attention, and he immediately stopped Qing Shi who was about to pour the wine out, "Don't pour it out yet, show it to me .”

"Let me say it first, it's all bad wine, it's hard to drink." Qingshi reminded, and carried all these small wine jars to the table in front of Han Shuo.These jars are the new wine jars he asked Yu Wang to make. They are not big, but the five-element magic circle with the two effects of gathering spirits and catalysis is added to the walls of the jars using dark lines and embedded methods, and the cost is relatively low. Much more expensive than the spirit wine inside.

Han Shuo didn't make a sound, picked up a small altar, carefully observed the wine in it, then stretched out his little finger to dip a little, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing Han Shuo frowning as expected, Qing Shi quickly put on an innocent expression of "I warned you".

"It's full of spiritual power." Han Shuo commented calmly.

"Then if I sell it, will you buy it?" Qing Shi asked.

The corner of Han Shuo's mouth twitched, "...No."

Qing Shi pouted immediately.

"However, if your wine... the spiritual power in the water can be preserved for a long time, some people may not care about its taste." Han Shuo turned around and added, "Your wine is not poisonous. Bar?"

"Anyway, it shouldn't kill anyone." Qingshi scratched his chin, rolled his eyes, "You mean, as long as you have enough spiritual power, the taste can be completely ignored?"

"Do you insist on making 'wine'?" Han Shuo asked back.

"I just want to earn spirit stones, er, to feed Wangwang by the way." Qing Shi said.

"That's it." Han Shuo said, "As long as what you brew can provide spiritual power like the natural spiritual spring and spiritual milk, and it doesn't produce erysipelas like elixir, who cares about its taste? ?In fact, the reason why high-grade spirit wine is expensive is mainly because it can hold spirit power, unlike ordinary spirit springs, which will dissipate spirit power after leaving the spirit vein for a period of time, and eventually become ordinary clear water with no spirit power. "

"Hearing what you said, I really want to sell this wine jar directly." Qing Shi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Huh?" Han Shuo was taken aback, picked up the wine jar again, looked at it and asked, "What mystery is there in this jar?"

"I specially found Yu Wang to refine it, and it can be regarded as a spiritual weapon." Qing Shi said.

When mentioning Yu Wang, Qing Shi's heart suddenly moved, and a rather strange idea popped up, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking.

Han Shuo thought he was thinking about wine making, so he didn't bother him. He continued to inspect the wine jar in his hand with his spiritual sense, and soon he was amazed by the mysterious magic circle and exquisite embedded technology.

Qing Shi quickly made up his mind, raised his head immediately, and continued to laugh at the topic just now, "What did Elder Han see?"

"I'm not proficient in miscellaneous learning, so what do you think I can see?" Han Shuo said calmly, "However, this craftsmanship is really good, not inferior to those few master craftsmen today."

"That's right, Yu Wang is definitely talented in refining weapons, he can be called a genius." Qing Shi agreed, "To be honest, if the Zongmen is willing to cultivate it vigorously, Yu Wang can be regarded as just a gold medalist." Cultivator Dan is worth far more than those unnamed Nascent Souls."

"No matter how valuable he is, he must be willing to make progress." Han Shuo shook his head and said, "Just the fact that he refuses to be a teacher is enough to make people respect him at a distance."

——Whether there is a teacher or not, not all of them are disciples of Xiantrumen.

Qing Shi didn't take it seriously, but he didn't intend to argue with Han Shuo on this matter, so he changed the subject after a few casual sentences.

At noon the next day, Qingshi was about to go to the alchemy room in the basement to arrange things, but as soon as he got out of the wooden house, he saw Jiang Zhe standing outside the restraint.

Qing Shi was worried about how to get close to him, so he stepped forward through the restraint and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Zhe raised his head, looked at Qing Shi blankly, and said, "I'm hungry."

——Damn, you treat me as a full-time feeder for you!

Qing Shi slandered in his heart, without hiding his face, curled his lips, reached out and took out a bottle of Bigu Pill, and threw it at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe didn't pick it up, and let the porcelain bottle fall to the ground.

"This is Bigu Pill!" Qing Shi raised his eyebrows.

"I want to eat meat." Jiang Zhe replied indifferently.

Qing Shi couldn't help squinting his eyes, looked Jiang Zhe from head to toe again, and soon smiled, "Success, come with me."

After finishing speaking, Qing Shi reached out and grabbed the porcelain bottle on the ground, turned around and walked towards the outer mountain, without looking back, but listened carefully.Jiang Zhe seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still followed, not far or near behind Qing Shi.

Qing Shi gradually quickened his pace.

At the beginning, Jiang Zhe didn't seem to notice this, and continued to maintain the distance between the two of them. He accelerated even if he accelerated, but soon slowed down as if he realized something.After a while, he no longer cared about the distance between the two, did not stop following, and did not change his pace.

——It’s not as stupid as it looks, and it’s not an honest and obedient person.

Thinking of Jiang Zhe's eating like a pig yesterday, and his paternal bloodline from ligers and tigers, the idiom "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger" came to Qingshi's mind.

—Uh, I'm not trying to lure wolves into the house.

Thinking of the thought that popped up yesterday, Qing Shi couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.He originally thought that he could introduce this Jiang Zhe to Yu Wang to take care of him. Firstly, it fulfilled Han Shuo's intention of "taking care of him", secondly, he freed himself from the work of serving others, and thirdly, he wanted to find a care for Yu Wang. , leaving him no time to think about that little fish tail.

But after such a trial today, it would be too coincidental to think about the timing of this kid's stomach rumbling yesterday because of his hunger, so he couldn't help but re-evaluate this guy's mind.But after thinking about it, Qingshi felt that since Yu Wang would like someone like Yu Wei who is used to pretending to be pitiful, knowing that he is not a good person but unwilling to break up, then the really pure and kind boy (such as Wang Xiaobo?) I am afraid It may not be able to please him, but Jiang Zhe, who is dressed in lamb's skin but has sharp teeth, is more likely to please him.

After much deliberation, Qing Shi still decided to give it a try, anyway, the result would not be worse than Yu Wangqu and Lu Siyuan's desperate efforts.

When Qing Shi and Jiang Zhe came to the big cafeteria, they were just in time for lunch, and there was an endless stream of Qi Refining disciples who came here to eat.Many of them are familiar to Qing Shi, and when they saw him coming, they took the initiative to greet him one by one.

Qing Shi smiled and nodded one by one, then placed Jiang Zhe in an unobtrusive position, and turned to the back kitchen to find the familiar cooks.

The lower realm is easy to do things with money, and the upper realm is also easy to do things with Lingshi, not to mention that Qingshi's status is not unusual, the disciples who work as cooks in the back are naturally happy to join in, and immediately patted their chests in response to the request for extra meals, and promised It must be done as soon as possible, and sent to the front for Qingshi.

After preparing the cook, Qing Shi turned around and went back to the cafeteria in front. He was wondering if Jiang Zhe's appetite would be as good today as it was yesterday. The disciples were laughing loudly around Jiang Zhe's table.

"Yo yo yo, the big rice bucket has come to the cafeteria to eat again!"

"It's not that I'm under the seat of the Supreme Elder, why did you come to the big cafeteria to grab food and drink with us young disciples in the Qi refining period?!"

"What else could be the reason? It must be that his appetite has scared the elder Taishang, so he kicked him out in a fit of anger!"

"Hey, what about you, what are you doing with your head down?!"

"That's right, that's right, hurry up and let everyone see what the idiot looks like!"

The louder these young disciples spoke, a few words caused a burst of laughter, and all the Qi refining disciples in the cafeteria looked towards Jiang Zhe.It's just that they talked about it, but they didn't dare to go up and make a move. They didn't know whether they were afraid of Jiang Zhe's cultivation, or because they had a good family education and knew how to abide by propriety even if they bullied others.Qing Shi is more inclined to the former, after all, if they really had that strict family education, they would not choose to do such unscrupulous things in a public place like the cafeteria.

But Jiang Zhe still didn't say a word, staring at the table with his head down, showing no emotions at all.

After all, the people were brought by themselves, and it is not easy to watch the fun from the sidelines. He walked behind one of the disciples and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Let's go, good dogs don't get in the way."

The disciple who was disturbed by Qingshi immediately turned around because of this "good dog", and was about to lose his temper, but when he saw Qingshi's Tsing Yi, which only disciples of the Foundation Establishment Stage could wear, he immediately swallowed the swear words at his mouth Going back, "You...what's the matter with you?"

"Get out of the way, don't you understand?" Qing Shi raised his eyebrows and shouted.

A disciple next to him seemed to recognize Qingshi's identity, he quickly gave him a hand, and smiled flatteringly at Qingshi, "Uncle Yan, why are you here in the cafeteria?"

"You know me? Why don't I know you?" Qingshi tilted his head and looked at this person. Although he had already remembered that he should be a disciple of the third peak, he still pretended not to recognize him and questioned him.

"The disciple is from the third peak. You established your foundation and left the peak in the second year of my entry. It's normal if you don't remember me." The disciple laughed.

"It turns out that you are also from the third peak - no, according to what you said, you have been a beginner for ten years, how come you are still in the middle stage of Qi refining?! Don't be lazy and slippery, the most intolerable thing in practice is Lax!" Qing Shi asked pretending to be concerned.

"I don't dare, my disciple is really stupid and can't be compared with a genius like you, Master Yan." The disciple quickly replied.

"Knowing that I'm stupid and not concentrating on cultivation, I still have the heart to mess around here?!" Qing Shi put away her smiling face and warned coldly, "Brother Jiang is your senior, what kind of punishment will be given for disrespecting your senior, have you all forgotten? Is it? Do you need to go to the torture hall to find someone to ask?"

"Disciple dare not." Several people quickly lowered their hands and bowed their heads.

Qing Shi glanced at Jiang Zhe next to him, saw that he was still indifferent and indifferent, and didn't bother to ask for justice for him, so he forced these disciples to make an apology, and immediately waved away these disciples who were just looking for trouble, and then He sat directly opposite Jiang Zhe.

Those few disciples didn't have the thought and courage to stay to eat, so they turned around and fled out of the cafeteria like flying.

At this moment, Jiang Zhe raised his head, glanced at Qingshi, and said, "Prestige."

"Why, envy?" Qing Shi raised the corners of his mouth and asked with a playful smile.

"En." Jiang Zhe nodded seriously.

"You can't imitate my majesty." Qingshi said bluntly, "However, if you can advance to Jindan, you can be more majestic than me."

Jiang Zhe didn't answer, and looked at Qing Shi blankly for a while, then lowered his head again.

— how unpleasant!

Qing Shi secretly slandered.

The back kitchen quickly brought up light meals, and Jiang Zhe was not polite, picked up the rice bowl and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Qing Shi had lost his appetite for a long time, and just watched coldly, but after a while, the cook who was familiar with him hurried over, and said embarrassingly close to his ear, "Please come with me Let’s go, Manager Zhao has something to discuss with you.”

Qing Shi was taken aback, the manager Zhao mentioned by the cook should be Zhao Bingqing, the director of the canteen, but the two of them hadn't had much contact with each other, so they couldn't guess why he was looking for him for a while.

"Wait for me to come back." Qing Shi said something to Jiang Zhe, then got up and went to the back kitchen.

Manager Zhao who invited Qingshi to the back kitchen was Zhao Bingqing. When he saw Qingshi coming, he quickly bowed his hands in salute, and after a few words of politeness, he explained the reason for inviting him over.

"Junior Brother Yan, although our big cafeteria provides free food, generally speaking, it only serves disciples in the Qi refining stage, and brothers in the Foundation Establishment stage are not included." Zhao Bingqing said with a look of embarrassment, "Especially for senior brother Jiang Zhe... You have seen his appetite, it is really not ordinary! Once or twice is fine, but if he comes every day, he will have to eat up my food in less than a week. I, I really can't afford the supply!"

Qing Shi looked at Zhao Bingqing calmly, and asked, "Hasn't he eaten here since he established the foundation?"

"I've eaten there a few times, but..." Zhao Bingqing glanced at Qing Shi's face, "Some disciples often make fun of him because of his appetite and his age, and he stops coming after repeated attempts."

"These disciples who made jokes about him were not arranged by you, Senior Brother Zhao?" Qing Shi asked half-jokingly.

"Of course not!" Zhao Bingqing hurriedly dismissed it, "Junior Brother Yan, you can't wrong me!"

"I just said it casually, Senior Brother Zhao, you don't have to take it seriously!" Qing Shi chuckled, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Jiang is now Elder Han's disciple at any rate, and you don't have to come to this big cafeteria to eat, Mr. Zhao It doesn't have to be so hard."

"Junior Brother Yan can understand our difficulties!" Zhao Bingqing said with a sarcastic smile.

To be able to work in a lucrative place like the big dining hall, Zhao Bingqing naturally has a background in the mountains.Qing Shi didn't want to think that because Jiang Zhe and him were married, he couldn't really accompany Jiang Zhe to eat every day, and from his point of view, Jiang Zhe didn't necessarily need to eat and drink like this every day, and the meaning of temptation was even greater. Some—like a little beast that has just been sent to a strange environment, stretching out its paws carefully, testing the new owner's love and value for it, if the owner's attitude makes it satisfied, it will move forward a few steps, otherwise , then completely shrank back into the shadows.

——Give him to Yu Wang to raise him in a while, I won't serve him anymore!

Qingshi smiled and gave Zhao Bingqing the promise that he would not bring Jiang Zhe over for dinner again, dispelling Zhao Bingqing's worries, and then turned back to the big cafeteria.

Jiang Zhe continued to eat, but the speed was much slower than yesterday.

Without even urging, she waited patiently for him to finish all the meals before asking, "Go back?"

"En!" Jiang Zhe nodded.

"Then let's go." Qing Shi stood up and led Jiang Zhe back to the elder hall.
