The teacher and apprentice are on the rise!

Today, it was no longer the sycophant elder who brought food to Xue Yu and the others, but a middle-aged man with a familiar face.

The man introduced himself, saying that his name was Hao Chen, and he was the head of general affairs of Hongwu Palace.

After saying this, Xue Yu remembered that he had seen this person yesterday in the conference hall, and he was standing behind the Master of Hongwu Palace with his head bowed, holding something in his hand to record, and it turned out to be the master.

Hao Chen has a well-proportioned figure, but his face is slightly rounded, so he looks white and fat, and he smiles even more kindly, and looks easy to get along with.

Xue Yu had a good impression of him at first, but the way this man looked at him from behind always made him feel a little weird for some reason.

Especially when Xue Yu was carrying sugar-steamed yogurt and ran to show courteousness to Cen Shu, the snow leopard cat beside him saw Hao Chen relying on his humanoid back without long eyes to see. He stared eagerly at the two of them, his caring energy seemed as if he wished to be the cheese bowl in Xue Yu's hand.

When he turned around again, the man stopped looking and continued to stand by the table with his hands down, smiling kindly.

He also asked Xue Yu if he wanted to order anything else for Cen Shu. Apart from this sugar-steamed crispy cheese, Cen Shu also ate a few other snacks yesterday, and he brought them today.

Xue Yu was taken aback by his question.

He was so busy fooling around yesterday that he really didn't pay attention to what Cen Shu ate.

Looking down at the food box again, besides regular meals, there were five or six plates of snacks inside, each of which was very delicate and beautiful, and it seemed that Cen Shu was willing to eat with reluctance.

...that's too sweet!

Reminiscent of the way Hao Chen looked at Cen Shu just now, Xue Yu suddenly became alert.

After all, Cen Shu's sycophant career fan stopped being annoying. Is this another father fan?

Wake up, stupid mortal, don't look at Cen Shu, who looks so young with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he can be your great-great-great-great-grandfather considering his age!

Xue Yu hated that iron could not become steel in his heart.

Fortunately, Hao Chen's boss has excellent professionalism, and he didn't say a word of nonsense while they were eating.

It's just that he didn't have to eat, so Leopard caught him looking at Cen Shu for a while, and then at Xue Yu for a while, sometimes confused, sometimes at a loss, and didn't know what he thought of.

However, no matter how suddenly Xue Yu raised his head, he could only see Hao Chen's smiling face, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

Too many times... It's really a little scary.

However, what Director Hao was thinking was actually very simple: this master and apprentice last night?Favorite?The father and son (?) hugged each other as soon as they wanted to, obviously they were very close, why did they seem to respect each other again this morning?

A good master has been educated since he was a child on how to be a good master who is diligent and thrifty, but his literary quality is a little bit worse. I don't know that "respect each other as guests" can't be used here.

After breakfast, Hao Chen respectfully told Xue Yu about the construction of the city, and asked Xue Yu for advice.

Xue Yu naturally agreed, but Cen Shu asked Xue Yu to bring the snow leopard with him for the first time when he went out.

It was only then that Xue Yu remembered Cen Shu's strangeness last night. This person would hold Leopard in his arms when he was usually in meditation, and would only push him away when he was in retreat to suppress his hostility.

Is the hostility coming back?

No, he remembered very clearly last night that only Cen Shu's pure spiritual power was absorbed by him, without a trace of hostility?

With outsiders present, it was difficult for Xue Yu to speak clearly, so he could only falter and ask: "Master, yours, is that what?"

Cen Shu didn't speak yet, but Hao Chen who was beside him didn't know what to associate, and his smile froze for a moment.

Xue Yu seized the opportunity to turn his head sharply, and finally grabbed the opponent's braid.

He quickly pretended to be concerned and asked: "Master Hao, what's the matter with you?!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Hao Chen hastily withdrew the food box, "I'll make arrangements first, and wait outside the door, Xiao Xianjun will do things conveniently first!"

The thick stone door slammed shut, leaving Xue Yu's head in a daze.

Xue Yu was puzzled: "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Cen Shu glanced at the door.

Yesterday, my little apprentice was sticky in front of this person and begged for a hug, probably frightened him.

However, this ancestor has always gone his own way and doesn't put others in his eyes.

So even though he knew that the people behind him could see him, he still hugged him in his arms indifferently.

Even if Cen Shu guessed it, he was not interested in going into details, and simply answered Xue Yu's previous question: "No."

He said: "It's just a sign of a breakthrough."

Xue Yu was stunned for a moment, then delighted: "That's great! The aura in this forest of steles is so strong that even the master wants to break through, no wonder the people of Hongwu Palace don't want to go out! Why don't we live here for ten years?" Eight years old!"

Anyway, Zhuang You's matter has been resolved. As long as there are no other variables, he will be very safe for hundreds of years. Wouldn't it be nice to speed up his cultivation in the forest of steles in Hongwu Palace?

Cen Shu gave Xue Yu a noncommittal look, and didn't tell him that his breakthrough had nothing to do with whether the aura was strong or not.

He has been unable to break through for a long time. One is that he is trapped in a serious illness, and the other is that his mood is flawed.

Now that the two shackles have been broken by the same person, it is very natural for the barrier to loosen.

Xue Yu went out with the snow leopard in his arms, and shocked Hao Chen who was waiting outside: "This...this is..."

Xue Yu babbled nonsense: "My brother!"

"Ah?" Hao Chen looked carefully into Xue Yu's arms, and blurted out, "Isn't the prototype of Xiao Xianjun a cat?"

But it looks like a leopard...?

Xue Yu was startled: "Who told you that?!"

He bared four pointed canine teeth, and said viciously, "Is it because I'm not powerful enough!"

Hao Chen recalled the little fairy who was lying in the arms of others yesterday and acted like a baby very skillfully, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complimented him against his will: "Worthy, little fairy is naturally very mighty, it's because the villain misunderstood. "

Hao Chen led Xue Yu to a spacious study room. A large map was hung on one wall. Not only did the map show the nearby cities, but they also drew the layout of the satellite cities they discussed in the meeting room last night. go up.

The land in the Central Plains is rich, and the nearby mortal villages and towns are built around the Ten Sands and Snow Fields. These eight satellite cities should have existed in the original book.

Therefore, Hongwu Palace does not need to rebuild the city, but only needs to support the development of existing villages and towns.

Hao Chen introduced to Xue Yu that Hongwu Palace had sent disciples to the eight cities first to teach the people in the cities how to get started.

He came this time mainly to discuss with Xue Yu what he didn't elaborate on last night.

After Hao Chen finished asking respectfully, he saw Xiao Xianjun next to him spit out a mouthful of tea.

Xue Yu was terrified: "Did I really say 'Alipay', 'Fund' and 'Bitcoin' yesterday?!"

"Yeah." Hao Chen was a little confused, and repeated the three nouns in a straight voice, "Your memory is correct, right?"

That’s right—there’s a big problem if I remember right!

Cen Shuke was still at the banquet last night, so he just uttered these 21st century proper nouns? !

Xue Yu's scalp felt numb all of a sudden. He drank too much last night, and he has no memory of what he said now.

Helpless, he had no choice but to ask Hao Chen beside him.

Since this person can even remember clearly what snacks Cen Shu ate, he naturally pays attention to him all the time.

"My master listened to me...do you have any indication?" Xue Yu asked tactfully.

Hao Chen showed a "really so" gratifying smile.

Perhaps the beast cultivator is different from the human race. Although Xiao Xianjun looks not small, he is indeed a child who likes to ask for credit for something he has done.

But Xianjun and Xianjun did not respond at all.

Even the movement of holding the cup has not changed a bit.

Hao Chen sighed and had no choice but to tell Xiao Xianjun the truth.

After hearing what he said, Xue Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no reaction at the time, and last night seemed to be the same as usual.

He even said that Cen Shu didn't ask him where he knew these strange words.

But Xue Yu thought again, Cen Shu was indeed a little arrogant, probably because he didn't bother to ask him these things?

This person is different from other masters who write arrogantly and read coldly. He really doesn't show his emotions or anger. Xue Yu doesn't know what he is thinking [-]% of the time.

But, but last night, Cen Shu was very generous in allowing him to kiss—ah no, he was allowing him to inhale spiritual energy and replenish it.

If Cen Shu knew that he was lying to him, how could he not be angry at all?

Is it really pure mutual help among fellow villagers?

Speaking of which, why did I suspect that Cen Shu was also a time traveler?

Is it because he...would not let his two apprentices help him find medicinal herbs?

This reason is actually a bit far-fetched.

In addition, I had just crossed for a short time at that time, so I might be really lonely, and this is why I had such an unfounded idea.

And after Xue Yu tried so many times, didn't he also discover that the other party actually didn't know anything about some modern common sense?

He couldn't ask Cen Shu directly, "Are you also an insider?".

And...Xue Yu is actually quite satisfied with the current relationship between the two of them, no matter whether Cen Shu came here through time travel or not, he doesn't want to make any changes.

In the final analysis, he himself is a salted fish. He believes that the dead line is the primary productive force, and he is unwilling to move unless he is pushed.

Just like if he hadn't heard that Prometheus had appeared in advance, he would not have come down from the leisurely Tianyan Sect.

Hao Chen on the side looked at Xiao Xianjun, first sighed, and then "lost his soul" for a long time, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

He didn't dare to touch the furry head of the other party, so he could only comfort him lovingly: "Although Xianjun doesn't show it on the surface, he must praise you very much in his heart. A lonely and arrogant person like Xianjun always loves to hide very deep."

It can be summed up in four words: Father's love is like a mountain.

Xue Yu trembled: It's still not possible.

When Zhuang You came in to visit, there was already a thick stack of papers on the table, all of which were the result of discussions between Xue Yu and Hao Chen.

"Mr. Zhuang!" Xue Yu was very pleasantly surprised, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you, sir?"

"Everything is as usual." Zhuang You nodded to him and said, "I just heard that you are here, and I wanted to come over to say hello. Go ahead and ignore me."

Hao Chen hurriedly said: "Xiao Xianjun has finished talking with the villain."

Xue Yu smiled and said, "Has Mr. Zhuang become a good teacher? From now on, he will be a disciple of Hongwu Palace! Congratulations!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuang You shook his head: "No."

Originally, for Zhuang You, as long as he entered the Hongwu Palace, it didn't matter who was his master.

After all, he didn't stay in Changyao Sect for a long time, mainly because pets were not allowed to practice there.

But the other elders of Hongwu Palace were unwilling to accept Zhuang You and Chong Shan Junling together, and only said that they should not only accept Zhuang You alone, or both of them would go to Yuan Cong Zhu's sect.

Xue Yunahan: "Why?"

"This... a villain can explain it." Hao Chen interjected, "Elder Yuan is a beast cultivator, so all beast cultivators in Hongwu Palace must worship under Elder Yuan. This fairy elder is walking with beast cultivators. The other elders will naturally not accept both of you at the same time."

Zhuang You nodded, indicating that it was just like what Hao Chen said.

"It's just that Elder Yuan is not in the palace right now. Other elders sent a letter to help. Elder Yuan said that he will return in a few days. Then he will accept Chongshan and me as disciples, and let us go to live in his provincial monument first. "

Xue Yu nodded: "Since this Elder Yuan is a beast cultivator, the exercises in his hand must be more suitable for Brother Xiaoshan's practice. But Mr. Zhuang is not necessarily a human cultivator. Anyway, you are both in Hongwu Palace, and you can't see him when you look down. , you can pay homage to other masters.”

Zhuang You didn't speak, but his expression looked a little dark.

Xue Yu asked again: "Speaking of which, where is Brother Xiaoshan?"

These two people used to sleep together, why didn't they see the bird at this time?

Zhuang You said succinctly, "At the provincial monument."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xue Yu always felt that there was a gnashing of teeth in his tone.

He let out an "ah" and asked stupidly, "Are you playing with other beast cultivators?"

Zhuang You took a look at him, and said calmly: "The Provincial Monument is not the same as other monuments. Inside it seems to be an illusion, with the alternation of the sun and the moon, lakes and grasslands, loyal servants and beautiful maidservants."

Xue Yu didn't understand how the term "loyal servant and beautiful maid" was mentioned side by side with the previous one.

Hao Chen coughed and explained to him tactfully.

It is said that Elder Yuan likes to accept apprentices of beast cultivators. Other Hongwu Palace disciples usually don’t like to go out when they have nothing to do. Only Elder Yuan goes out to pick up when they have nothing to do.

Not only that, but he also ordered his disciples to practice as prototypes in the provincial stele, so various environments were simulated in the stele according to the living areas of each disciple.

There are even more than a hundred servants and maidservants to take care of the daily life of the beast cultivators, such as grooming, grinding claws, bathing, massaging and shoveling excrement, which can be called a model of contemporary breeders.

……oh!Xue Yu imagined such a scene, and suddenly realized.

Brother Xiaoshan is so happy to miss leaving!

After Hao Chen explained this, Zhuang You became even more depressed.

Just as Xue Yu wanted to go up to comfort him, suddenly there was a movement of energy around him, and there was an extra person in the room.

It was a thin middle-aged man with black hair on the left half and white on the right half of his head, which looked very strange.

In summer, she was wearing a thick winter coat, with a circle of white fur around her neck, and she was holding a rabbit with a cow pattern in her hand.

He looked very sleepy, his eyelids drooped, and he looked around the several people in the room.

However, when the man's eyes fell on Xue Yu, a pair of lifeless dead fish eyes slowly opened wide, emitting a strange light.

He stepped in front of Xue Yu with a brisk step, with both hands resting on the heads of Xue Yu and the snow leopard in his arms.

"My good boy." The man's dull tone actually made people feel excited.

"It's too late to turn around as a teacher."

Xue Yu:?

The author has something to say: What exactly does Brother Hao associate with filling in the blanks.

"Is your ____ (noun) _____ (verb) again?"
