I open a restaurant in Xiujie

After getting the information from Yu Xiaotan, the young monk walked out of the city confidently, but before he went far, a celestial cloud floated in front of him.

On the fairy cloud was an old man with a fairy air. He immediately smiled when he saw the young man, and said in an old voice: "Chong'er, how did you do in the exam?"

The young man immediately lowered his head, a line of clear tears came out of his eyes quickly, and the rims of his eyes were reddish: "Master, Master, I have let you down..."

His eyes turned red, and the old man's beard seemed to be scorched by fire.

The old man hurriedly fell from the sky, pulled the precious apprentice to his side, stroked his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. There are very few people who pass the spiritual chef examination once. I just wanted to broaden your horizons. Look what these geniuses of their age are."

"Your talent is the best as a teacher. As long as you go back and practice hard, you will definitely have a place in the spiritual chef world in the future."

The young man only lowered his head, responded in a low voice, but quietly rolled his eyes behind his back.

Why practice hard, he almost vomited, okay?

He just wants to go back to the fairy gate right away, and use the shuttle to hook up with the beautiful junior sisters who have just started.

The old man over there babbled: "Come here, tell me what you have encountered in the examination room, and let me give you some pointers."

"I... the time for the light circle to appear was shortened again, only three breaths, and then I met the eldest lady of the Wang family of Guanghuazhai..."

The young man followed the gourd and drew a ladle, and told Yu Xiaotan's words and his things one by one.

While listening, the old man commented from time to time.

Finally he asked, "That's all?"

The young man nodded again and again: "No, that's all."

The old man's eyes changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Look at this time, you are the last batch of candidates to come out, right?"

"Yes, yes." The young man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Didn't you see... a strange boy?"

Weird boy?

The young man was dumbfounded, Yu Xiaotan didn't tell him this.

Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, but the young monk could only bite the bullet: "No, no..."

The old man stared at him silently for a long time.

With a sudden wave of his hand, a burst of spiritual power struck the storage ring between the young man's fingers.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of "click", the seal of the storage ring was broken, and the contents inside crashed all over the ground. A miniature flying boat suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Move a few times.

youth:"……"

In an instant, the mountain rain was about to come, and the heavy coercion made him breathless, and the old man's deep voice came from above: "Where did this come from?"

"I, I..." The young man was sweating profusely, and fell to his knees with a plop, "This, this is a gift from a friend..."

The old man said lightly: "Give you a shuttle worth nearly five thousand spirit stones, your friend is really generous."

The young man prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"You still don't admit it?"

The old man held a flash of spiritual light in his hand, and the thunder-type electric light crackled, and his cloudy eyes were full of anger: "Zhao Chong, Zhao Chong, I know you are playful, but I didn't expect you to even deceive yourself into being a teacher!"

"I've heard people talking about that young man outside the city, but you told me you didn't know anything about it?"

The young man wanted to cry but had no tears: "...I was wrong, I was wrong about Master!"

He had already scolded Yu Xiaotan in the bottom of his heart: that kid must have concealed it on purpose, otherwise how could he let him slip his mouth in front of the master? !

"Go, don't be ashamed of yourself here."

The old man's face was terribly gloomy, and he looked at the young man with unprecedented disappointment: "After you go back, you will go to Siguoya to retreat for a year."

The young man's legs went limp all of a sudden.

Siguoya, that is the place where the disciples of the sect go to serve their sentences.

Not to mention a year, staying for a month is enough to make people lose a layer of skin.

damned!

Never let me see you again!

……

In fact, this is no wonder Yu Xiaotan.

At first, Yu Xiaotan didn't want to make too much publicity, and it sounded ridiculous for the examiner to rob him all the time.Second, what is it to brag about yourself in front of others, Yu Xiaotan couldn't hold back that face, so he simply deleted all parts of himself.

He also didn't expect that the other party's master happened to meet other candidates on the way here, and happened to hear other people talking about him, which eventually caused the young monk to reveal a flaw in his words, and was caught by the master's braid.

But even if he knew all this, Yu Xiaotan wouldn't care too much.

He couldn't understand that man's demeanor, and wished that the other party would suffer a little.

Continuing to run back and forth among the crowd, but unable to see that familiar figure for a long time, Yu Xiaotan gradually felt uneasy.

No, it shouldn't be, Brother Ji clearly said that he would wait outside the examination room for him to come out...

Yu Xiaotan couldn't figure it out, and followed the flow of people step by step towards the direction of leaving the city, and when he passed the Woxian Pavilion, he deliberately glanced inside twice.

The inn was overcrowded, but there was no sign of Ji Chuchen.

The faint uneasiness in Yu Xiaotan's heart became more and more intense, almost making his blood flow faster, and his chest thumped.

Fortunately, when he turned a corner, the familiar white clothes finally appeared in his eyes!

"Brother Ji!"

Yu Xiaotan's eyes lit up, and he tried his best to rush away from the crowd towards Ji Chuchen.

But after getting closer, he realized that the other party was inexplicably embarrassed in his attire.

Ji Chuchen's face was as pale as paper, with his right hand behind his back, and his plain long clothes were stained with countless dust, as if he had rolled in the mud.

The ribbon of the hair was broken, and a head of black hair was scattered behind her back, bloodshot eyes were also stained in the deep black eyes, and she raised her eyes to Yu Xiaotan and grinned with difficulty: "Xiaotan..."

After breaking through Foundation Establishment, Yu Xiaotan's five senses became more acute, the tip of his nose twitched a few times, and he smelled a strong smell of blood in the air.

The young man ran forward in panic, just about to ask what's wrong with you, Big Brother Ji, whether you were injured, but Ji Chuchen suddenly asked in a low voice: "Can I hug you?"

Before the words fell, the young man's arms were already opened.

However, there was no objection, and he pulled Yu Xiaotan into a fiery embrace.

——Ji Chuchen's chest was very hot, as if a fire was burning in his chest, grief and anger were intertwined, but the hand on Yu Xiaotan's shoulder was cold, as if his fingertips had just been pulled out of the snow.

His breathing was also heavy, and taking this opportunity of hugging, half of his body weight was placed on Yu Xiaotan's shoulders.

Yu Xiaotan could feel the trembling of the other party's forearm, whether it was sadness or exhaustion, but the sound of weak breathing fell on his ear like a breeze, which instantly lifted his whole heart.

"Brother Ji, you are injured." Yu Xiaotan supported his arm, "Come on, let's go see the doctor."

Ji Chuchen shook his head.

"I'm fine, it's not my blood." His voice was very soft, "How is your assessment?"

Yu Xiaotan showed him the spirit pattern on his wrist.

"Just pass it," Ji Chuchen sighed softly, "Sorry, Xiaotan, we have to return right away."

Yu Xiaotan immediately put the "moat" in his heart behind him. Although it was a pity, what was that compared to Ji Chuchen's safety?

He said without thinking: "Okay, let's go back right away."

"When I get home, I'll make a medicinal meal for you."

When Ji Chuchen heard the word "home", he was silent for a long time.

"...Well." Finally he whispered, "Okay, let's go home."

……

Yu Xiaotan chose the fastest flying boat thanks to the dozen or so spirit stones exchanged for information from the examination room.

The price is also expensive, he and Ji Chuchen each cost six spirit stones for the boat ticket, which emptied Yu Xiaotan's family all at once.

Yu Xiaotan gritted his teeth, but he didn't give up the slightest bit when he handed over the spirit stones—the spirit stones can be earned again, but Ji Chuchen must not be troubled.

This is the most reliable support force for their restaurant.

The flying boat passed through the clouds, as light as a bird, and its speed was extremely fast. After a few hours, the towering Qinghong Mountain came into Yu Xiaotan's eyes.

"Brother Ji?" Yu Xiaotan quietly poked Ji Chuchen with his elbow, "We're here, how do you feel now?"

Ji Chuchen looked like he was out of his mind when he got on the flying boat. Hearing this, he was stunned for a few moments before he realized: "...arrived?"

"Yes." Yu Xiaotan quietly took his hand.

Ji Chuchen didn't respond.

The green hills are charming, the sky and the earth are vast, and the bright rays of the sun turn into golden curtains, covering the entire town at the foot of the mountains with a faint golden light.

But when Ji Chuchen was looking forward in a daze, the light in his eyes was dim. He stared fixedly at a corner of the peak, wondering what he was thinking.

Returning to the restaurant anxiously, Yu Xiaotan was shocked by the grand appearance of the restaurant.He had previously received a notification from the system about the completion of the expansion, and he had imagined in his heart what the restaurant would look like after the renovation, but he never expected it to be so gorgeous.

The gate is painted in a deep vermilion. If you look carefully, there are faint and mysterious formations flowing back and forth on it, like smoke and fog. The moment you step in, you can feel that the air has become much fresher.

Bai Junda was sitting on the steps in front of the gate, and was playing something with his head down. Yu Xiaotan and Ji Chuchen's return caught him by surprise, and the little white fat man hurriedly hid the things behind him: "Yu, Yu Xiaotan, you are so Coming back soon?"

"Wouldn't it be better to come back earlier," Yu Xiaotan said casually, "I can also supervise your work earlier."

Bai Junda: "..."

Ji Chuchen didn't say much, and walked straight to his room.

Bai Junda saw his restless appearance, and the little fat man interpreted it into multiple meanings.

Bai Junda thought about it for a moment, and thought he was close to Yu Xiaotan: "Then what, Yu Xiaotan, it's normal to take an assessment once, so don't be discouraged, at least I think the food you cook is super delicious..."

Yu Xiaotan: "???"

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Xiaotan raised his hand and gave Bai Junda a headache, "Of course I passed."

Bai Junda covered his head: "...huh?"

The little fat man looked bewildered, and nuzzled in the direction Ji Chuchen left: "Then what's going on, why is his face so ugly?"

Yu Xiaotan stared at Ji Chuchen's back, lowered his voice and said, "Don't ask too many questions, just do your job."

Bai Junda's face suddenly became bitter.

But before he complained, Yu Xiaotan suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you go to the market first and help me buy something."

"Ganoderma lucidum, dendrobium, Polygonatum odoratum, Codonopsis ginseng, red dates... There should be some goji berries and tangerine peel at home. Ah, by the way, help me see if there are any seafood for sale."
