Gods: Starting with the Goblins

, now, Cui Er hesitated a little, gave up the idea of ​​pawning and buying some rare animal meat, and finally planned to buy some ordinary meat.

She didn't want to anger the benefactor, and finally get nothing.

Cui Er's mother sat next to Luo Dan, very reserved and respectful.

"The benefactor has done us a great favor, and we can't repay him in this life."

Luo Dan waved his hand.

"Old lady, you are too polite. This is just a small effort. You don't have to take it to heart or worry about it."

"No, I still want it. To be honest, I, an old woman, don't have anything to worry about. The only thing I worry about is my daughter. If, if the benefactor lacks someone to serve..."

Before she finished speaking, Luo Dan already understood what she meant and waved her hand to refuse.

"Madam, I don't need anyone to serve me. I have always been alone in the world. I am afraid that I will not miss anyone, nor will I bring anyone with me. It is not suitable for Miss Cui'er. Miss Cui'er should marry a good family in the future and live an ordinary life of raising a husband and children." After hearing this, what else did Cui'er's mother not understand? Although she was a little disappointed that Luo Dan rejected her, she was also relieved. She knew that Cui'er had actually been paying attention to the situation here. After hearing these words, maybe this girl can give up. Cui'er has been paying attention to the situation here. After hearing this, she was a little uneasy and almost cut herself when cutting vegetables. But she soon cheered up and carefully worked on the things at hand. However, while busying herself, she couldn't help thinking about Luo Dan's words. Has he always been alone? Don't you want to bring another person? But think about it carefully, what can a little girl like me, who is powerless, do to help him? The benefactor is such a powerful person, but she doesn't even have the ability to stand beside him.

Thinking of this, Cui'er lowered her head more and more, and the whole person became more and more lost.

However, she concealed it well and cooked quietly, as if nothing happened.

Except for her mother, Luo Dan did not notice Cui'er's abnormality.

Cui'er's mother saw it, but she couldn't do anything. No matter how distressed she was, she could only sigh.

Alas, don't blame her for asking this question. This is all for Cui'er's good. It can dispel the child's idea and live an ordinary life in the future.

After sorting out her emotions in her heart, she looked at Luo Dan with a smile.

"So that's it. The benefactor is not an ordinary person, and naturally he won't do ordinary things. I have nothing to say. I can only wish the benefactor success in advance. I hope that the benefactor will have smooth sailing in the future."

As he said this, he used tea instead of wine and toasted Luo Dan first.

Luo Dan did not despise her just because she was a little old lady. She also happily accepted the toast from the other party.

"Then I'll take advantage of the old lady's good words."

As the two were talking and laughing, Cui'er also calmed down.

She brought the food she had prepared and put it on their table.

"Mother, Luo Dan, the dishes are all here, let's eat together. There is no precious spirit beast meat, just some ordinary pork and chicken, which were caught in small traps in the mountains. My cooking skills are just so-so. Please try it casually. If you don't like it, don't force it."

"No, of course not. Your kindness is already very precious."

Cui'er smiled shyly. Although she knew that she couldn't stay by his side, she would be excited as long as she heard him praise her.

This is good. Even if she can only watch him from a distance, this life is worth it.

Thinking of this, she felt much better and picked up a chopstick of food herself.

During the meal, Luo Dan did not forget to observe the situation of Cui'er's mother.

"Has the old lady been fine these days? Is she healthy?"

Cui'er's mother didn't eat much, so when asked, she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks.

She smiled gently, her smile was gentle and friendly.

"It's okay. Thanks to the medicine given by the benefactor before, my health has improved a lot. I'm sure I'll get better and better in time."

Cui'er was also very happy, nodding in agreement.

"Yes, mother can eat something now. In the past, mother couldn't eat anything, which made me worried. Now I'm happy to see her eat something."

For ordinary people like them, being able to eat and sleep means being healthy.

Luo Dan nodded, and seemed to be happy for them.

"That's good."

After a meal, when Cui'er had cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks, Luo Dan considered the words and told them about it.

"By the way, today I'm not only here to see you, but I also have something to tell you. I... am probably leaving here."

"Leave."

Hearing this word, Cui'er's heart jumped and she looked at him reflexively.

"Sir, what do you mean, you won't stay here forever?"

Luo Dan shook his head and explained.

"I'm not from here, I just passed by here and rested here for a while, or maybe I regarded this as an adventure. Now that the adventure is over, it's time to start a new journey. It's just a place for me to rest halfway."

"Is that so..."

Cui'er seemed to have been hit hard. The movements of her hands that murmured to herself also stopped little by little, and she looked at him with nostalgia and reluctance.

"Luo Dan, can you not leave? Isn't it nice to stay with everyone here? I heard that you are a famous alchemist and have opened a shop here. You can practice alchemy here at the same time. , after all, you have a shop here, can you bear to give up? "

However, Luo Dan's expression was indescribably relaxed. Obviously, none of this could keep him.

"I know, but as long as my alchemy skills are there, I can open an elixir shop anywhere. Miss Cui'er, I also like the customs and customs here, but there is always a banquet in the world. A temporary absence is nothing, I believe We will meet again one day.”

Cui Er fell silent, knowing that her reasons did not convince the other party at all.

Cui Er's mother quickly interrupted the topic because she was worried that Cui Er's emotions would be too exposed and her benefactor would be unhappy if he knew about it.

Things like staying or leaving are the benefactor's own business and should not be managed by outsiders.

She quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, that's it. Does your benefactor plan to go somewhere?"

Luodan thought carefully and tilted his head.

"Well, not yet. Let's go around and see if there are any opportunities. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?"

Cui'er's mother nodded, that's true.

"Then I have nothing to say. I can only wish my benefactor smooth sailing and a bright future."

"Thank you."

Luo Dan nodded, no one would be happy with such an auspicious word.

Cui'er looked at Luo Dan with tangled eyes, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say.

In fact, she was very reluctant to let him leave, and she didn't want him to leave here.

There was even a moment when she wanted to drop everything and follow him.

The world is so big and he wants to see it and experience it everywhere, so she will go with him. As long as she can stay with him, she will die without regrets.

However, looking at her elderly mother, Cui'er couldn't say these words.

If she is gone, who will take care of her mother?

Besides, can I really stay with my benefactor and become his helper?

She wasn't sure and didn't feel confident about it, and that was what held her back.

"My dear friend, have you thought about where to go next?"

She almost used up all her courage to ask such a question.

"Even if you want to leave, there should be a direction. Rodan, can I know where you will end up next? I..."

At the end of her sentence, Cui Er was too embarrassed to speak.

But Luodan saw it and saw that she planned to come to him.

I also saw her hesitation and worry.

Luodan had a good impression of this little girl, or maybe he felt pity for her.

So I don't want her to be disappointed.

He looked at her, his tone gentle and forceful.

"Indeed, I haven't left the town so soon. After all, there are still some things that have not been completed. I will probably stay for a few days. During this period, I will stay at the City Lord's Mansion. If anything happens, you can come to me, even if... I left after that. In my name, you can also ask the city lord to help you, and he will be willing. "

Cui'er looked at him, as if she couldn't believe that he was thinking about her so much.

However, Cui Er finally nodded moved and shed a tear.

"Well, I understand, thank you, Rodan."

She couldn't say any more words, and all she could do was choke when she spoke again.

Rodan chuckled.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? It's just a separation, not a separation. When I get tired in the future, I might come back here to see you..."

"Then I will wait for Rodan."

Cui Er wiped away her tears.

"No matter how long it takes, I will be here waiting for Luo Dan. If Luo Dan is tired, come here to have a rest and come into my yard to ask for a glass of water, okay?"

Luo Dan's heart moved slightly, but he did not refuse, smiled and nodded.

"good."

After bidding them farewell, Rodan turned and left.

Cui'er looked at his back longingly until he completely disappeared from her sight, and she didn't look back for a long time.

At this time, he also met Nineteen on the way, and simply returned to the city with them.

The people here are still in harmony.

When Nineteen came to the city, he immediately felt reluctant to miss Shu and got into a group here.

Luodan went to the city lord's mansion.

After announcing his name, the city lord came out to receive him immediately.

"Haha, Luo Dan, as soon as I heard it was you, I came out immediately. You are finally back. I was still worried about you during this time!"

Rodan smiled casually.

"Let the city lord worry."

The city lord stepped forward, and the two brothers patted him on the shoulders, looking around him. They didn't see the person they wanted to see, and they were confused.

"By the way, where is the old gentleman? Why didn't you see him?"

Luo Dan was inexplicably embarrassed when he mentioned his master.

"Oh, he, he still has some things to do, so let me come back for now."

"That's it, that's all. You are his disciple anyway. Come on, come on, come in and sit down. You and I can catch up on old times."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. The city lord is too polite."

Despite his politeness, Rodan always kept his identity in mind.

They have some friendship, but not much, not enough to transcend their status levels.

"You are just so disciplined."

The city lord shook his head and seemed to sigh, but he was actually quite happy with his behavior. The most important thing was that after he said that, the city lord did not force him, nor did he call him a brother.

Obviously, although the city lord valued him, he was far from being a close friend.

"Luo Dan, let's not talk about other things first, sit down first, let's chat for a while."

Luo Dan did not refuse this point and sat in the seat he arranged for him.

After the city lord sat down, he first poured himself a big sip of wine and drank it all.

At the same time, he did not forget to sigh.

"Your master is the best wine. If he were here, he would definitely be happy."

Luo Dan just smiled. He did not feel very proud of his master's reputation.

Of course, the city lord did not continue on this topic for too long and quickly passed it over.

The city lord showed him his ability again.

"How is it, have you found any changes?"

While speaking, his eyes were full of expectation, as if he wanted to say it out loud.

Luo Dan saw it and admired the city lord, so he smiled and said.

"I can see that during the time you were away, the city lord did not slack off in his skills. His strength has improved compared to before."

The city lord likes to hear such words the most. He looks embarrassed, but he is actually very proud.

"No, no, as the city lord, this is what I should do."

"I would like to congratulate the city lord here first."

Luo Dan is very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, and he started to flatter the city lord first.

After hearing this, the city lord was even happier.

"By the way, you must have gained a lot during your absence, right?"

Luo Dan was stunned, and before he could respond modestly, the city lord urged him non-stop.

"Let me see how much your cultivation has improved during the time you were away?"

The other party was obviously very interested and would not stop until he achieved his goal.

There was no other way, Luo Dan could only release his own cultivation and let him see it.

When the pressure on him was revealed, the city lord was slightly stunned.

His expression was indescribably complicated, not bad, but not particularly good either.

Finally, he sighed deeply and took another gulp of wine.

"Alas, there are always people who are better than you, and people are so annoying when compared to others. I thought my upgrade speed was already the best, but I didn't expect you to be even more evil. It's only been a short time, and you've already reached the peak of the fourth level of the Holy Seat. And your aura is very strong. I'm sure it won't be long before you can break through the fifth level as long as you find the right opportunity."

Five levels, when the city lord mentioned this number, he was a little jealous.

Many people need several years or even decades to rise to one level, and they may waste their whole lives here and never make any progress.

But this Luo Dan has crossed so many levels in just a few months.

Such talent and such opportunity are really enviable. (End of this chapter)
