Throne Steps

When being hugged in the mountain passage, Li Chen actually didn't feel too tired.When Zhuoya Qiuming was about to meet Noah, Li Chen was obviously physically exhausted.

He originally planned to simply sleep in the temple tonight, but the words Noah posted last night were so meaningful that Li Chen had to pay more attention to this unexpected meeting. "Black Swan" entered Zhuoya Qiuming at dinner time, and Li Chen followed everyone back to the hotel to wash up in a hurry, and then took Akeye to the agreed clubhouse without eating dinner.

When Noah arrived, Li Chen had just eaten half full. Compared with being tired and hungry before, he finally looked a little tired.

Noah came alone, and it was the door that Li Chen opened for him, and he glanced out of the door behind him, and then closed the door.

There are some meals on the table, and it seems that some of them have been used. Clement, one of the leaders of "Black Swan", sat behind the table and only nodded to Noah.Although Noah was puzzled in his heart, he opened his mouth to talk lightly: "My lord hasn't finished eating yet? It seems that I came here abruptly."

Akye responded noncommittally. This kind of indifferent response made Noah, the little warm-up expert, lose a little bit of superficial enthusiasm.Li Chen walked slowly towards the table behind, but responded to Noah's question: "It's late, please forgive me for being rude. Have you eaten yet? Shall I order something else?"

How could Noah be dissatisfied at this time, and replied with a smile: "You can do whatever you want, don't care about me."

Li Chen had already walked over to the table. Seeing that Noah was still standing, he said with a smile, "We adults don't like to talk, it's not malicious. Please sit down as you please."

Noah looked at Clement's indifferent attitude, then at Li Chen's casual appearance, his heart moved, he sat down with a smile and said: "Wiggins' expression yesterday may be inappropriate, And please don't mind."

Li Chen wanted to finish his dinner as soon as possible, so he just stuffed his mouth with food.Akeye never answered these scenes, but he saw that Li Chen was not easy to answer, so he replied: "I don't mind."

Li Chen, who was still chewing, couldn't speak, but his mind was fast.Noah's current status seems to be Wiggins' assistant. Even if he apologizes for Wiggins, it should not be in such an equal tone.But if it goes back to the relationship between the three in Pesari, this tone is normal.So, Noah started to test?

Noah's next sentence seemed to immediately confirm Li Chen's conjecture.He turned to the child who was swallowing, and showed a tolerant smile: "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows.It's been more than four years since Noah felt this kind of caring behavior.Back then, Noah was the more visible talent in the four-person group, and Li Chen also spent a lot of thought on instructing him.But now, although everyone is under Saenz's banner, the specific camps they are in are still subtly different. For a while, Li Chen couldn't grasp the meaning of Noah's closeness as before.

On the side, Akeye interjected and said to Noah: "You swear, keep everything you heard tonight a secret."

There was something wrong between them, of course Akye could sense it.Li Chen is still hesitating whether to point it out or deny it, but Akeye thinks that no matter how hesitant, it's not too late to let the other party swear.Anyway, their superficial identities were slightly opposite to their actual identities, and it seemed normal to outsiders that Akye directly ordered them.

After listening to the order, Noah looked at Li Chen again, and found that the other party was also waiting for his action, so he smiled helplessly.He didn't talk nonsense, and when he swore his actions were standard and the structure of his words was rigorous, he showed his sincerity to the two people opposite him.

Akeye's words seemed to pierce the layer of window paper for the two of them, saving the two of them from poking their tentacles around each other when they had already figured it out.After taking the oath, Noah put down his hands, and was about to speak, when Li Chen said with a smile: "I also swore to keep my identity secret."

Now that Noah is sure of the child's identity, and knowing that his thoughts are so dense, he still does it even though he feels helpless.He can also be regarded as a different kind of child who has figured out the child's style. If you are stuck at a critical point and stretch you, if you don't follow his wishes, you can quickly make up several ways to kill someone under a gentle smile.

Li Chen was a little surprised to see that Noah continued to do so without any doubts.To say that in Pesa back then, he did spend a lot of thought on the relationship network, but he lost a lot of the mood of defeating each other.Although Noah can be regarded as being close, but Li Chen is only less on guard against him, and seldom counsels him personally.Now Noah is actually showing intimacy to him without any grievances like back then—perhaps more than before—either there is still some genuine affection, or the true temperament has been hidden deeper than Li Chen.

In order to prevent the possibility of the latter, Li Chen simply made an inch of it: "Have you signed a contract of loyalty?" The implication is that the front is all false, and it is the business to come and pledge your allegiance as soon as possible.

Noah paused, and now he smiled wryly: "It's getting harder and harder for you to get close."

"You are polite. If you want to retreat, I will cooperate with you." Li Chen poured himself a glass of water, and said in a casual tone, "I don't want to, or have we already concluded? I guess, it can't be the latter. There are only two people you can make a contract with. The first one doesn’t feel like it’s necessary to make a contract with you. The second one... If you have concluded a contract with you, the first one won’t put you next to Wiggins. "

Hearing his attitude of "I'll just make a random guess and don't let me guess right", Noah knew that if he didn't give the child complete peace of mind today, he might not be able to get out of this door.Xia Luo came out of Samuel, and the child also came out of Samuel. Who was involved in the lone wolf incident back then, he can immediately comprehend six or seven points.In addition, the person in charge of the notorious "Black Swan" indulged him so much, I am afraid that most of the methods of the "Black Swan" are related to children.

At the moment, he didn't get entangled anymore, and said bluntly: "Yeah. Who is your allegiance to, you or him?"

As soon as this Li Chen was mentioned, he also put on a sad expression: "The right candidate is not here, I will keep your attitude, don't break your promise to bring someone to you someday."

"You can stay here too. Listen for yourself if what you're saying is human?" Noah was amused by his reaction, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "I can speak well? I still have a lot of questions to think about." Asking you, I forgot most of it when you choked on me like this."

Li Chen took Akeye's hand, but he didn't know what small thing he put in his palm.Akye slapped the table knowingly, and only heard a slight "click", Noah suddenly felt a wave of magical waves rushing towards him like a sea wave, and instantly went behind him.

"Don't worry, it's just a sound-proof barrier." When Akye took his palm away, Li Chen casually swept away the shattered crystal slag with his sleeve, and then smiled at Noah, "I also have a lot of questions I want to ask you. "

Noah thought to himself that no matter what kind of barrier it was just now, I was trapped in it, so what else can I say against it?So he waved his hand helplessly: "Please first."

Smart people talk to smart people. When they go around for a long time, there is no result. When they are straight, they can see the sun with a few words.

Noah's communication skills were inspired by Li Chen, and he explored himself in the later stage, and Li Chen's shadow can still be vaguely seen in his speaking skills.Although Li Chen has a lot of taboos about "imitation" because of his previous life, he has to admit that imitation is really a good way to learn and improve.

In Noah's situation, it was recommended by Saenz and funded by Meloyer. It is said that no matter how you take advantage of the situation, you will not worry about it.But the problem is that Wiggins, who is in the same class as him, with the "four-member team", and also under the leadership of Saenz and Meloyer, has really ruined the direction of the entire small group.Wiggins, with the help of Saenz, obtained the exemption qualification provided by Meloyer. From this approach alone, he should be a pro-sea blue faction in the Saenz camp.He was chosen to be the flagpole of the "Popular faction" by Saenz, who usually takes care of him and brings him "blessing grace", not to mention, the temple is also built as soon as it is said, and the sense of intimacy on the surface is better than that of Belen Meloyer. It was slightly better, and the color of the sea was so blue that he wished he could forget who he wasted the exam-free quota back then.

Wiggins, a serious character who "should get close to the color of sea blue", happily ran towards Saenz, and the little friends who were like a foil back then couldn't stick to the color of sea blue. "Rigsella" was declared missing or even died four years ago. Noah looked at the current situation along the route suggested by Li Chen before, and the more he watched, the more frightened he became.At that time, he thought that even if he was self-indulgent, he had to quickly cut off the ties with Meloyer, otherwise he was afraid that both sides would not be able to accommodate fools.With his determination, he half-disclosed and half-edited his plans to Wiggins while starting to pay back the money.Wiggins, a straight-hearted person, told Saenz about Noah's behavior as lace news, and Saenz thought it was clear, so he secretly helped him pay back the money, and then transferred to Wiggins' side as an assistant.

To say that Noah is also lucky, when Li Chen was arranging the little gardener Nie Wen in Saenz's mansion, Noah's meddling was noticed by Saenz.So much so that even though Saenz didn't value him very much later, he didn't think badly of him.

Another little friend, Mills, was not so lucky.When he admired Ai Deren in the first grade, he took the wrong first step. Later, he dragged Nie Wen and became a "pig teammate duo" who couldn't help him.The same civilian, the same "group of four", Mills failed to even enter the "popular faction".He was sent to the alchemist group under "Witch" Sean to do pharmaceutical work that seemed important but Saenz didn't care about.With his emotional intelligence sentenced to death, it must be very difficult to return to Saenz.

As for Nie Wen, Saenz didn't even bother to think about his whereabouts, and directly let the "witch" take over.

The "witch" couldn't understand these two "hysterical patients" in Pesari. Noah didn't bother to inquire about where they were placed now.

"You still put too much thought on them." Li Chen didn't care much about the whereabouts of his former friends, and said casually, "How much can your current position be involved with them? But after a few years of classmates, they can still have a good relationship." Why did you get hold of you? Thinking about the future, I don’t know what to think about, just think about how to control Wiggins, a prodigal son, after the completion of the temple. Your Highness didn’t send you to him to make it easier for him to die.”

Noah knew that this was about Wiggins taking in too many refugees, so he smiled wryly and said, "He said he got His Highness's command, how could I stop him? If it wasn't for him not being able to read the book, I forcibly concealed half of it." Funds, he can be more arrogant."

"I'm used to it." Li Chen sneered, "I don't blame you, His Highness wants him to show off more and spread more hatred, the better."

If Fudexi was here, he would definitely sneer back, "Your highness is also accustomed to your virtue."

Noah raised his eyebrows: "As long as you have confirmed your identity, I will be able to enter the 'Black Swan'. You, a master of twists and turns, stand in front of me, and I don't have to do my best to survive until today."

Li Chen rolled his eyes: "It's a pity that your parents are both alive."

Noah was surprised: "Why, 'Black Swan' only accepts orphans?"

At the end of these words, Noah's eyes had drifted to Akye who had been silent beside him.Akye kept his face expressionless, showing no emotional changes.

Li Chen didn't answer directly, but said in a dramatic voice, "We are that rootless 'duckweed'."

Noah laughed when he heard this, knowing that Li Chen didn't want to go any further, so he changed the subject: "I still think of one thing—do you know what happened at Suo Yang's end?"

Li Chen took a look at him: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

Noah smiled and said, "Didn't the Southwest Garrison compete near there a while ago? Guess who won the individual competition?"

which?In fact, Li Chen didn't have much to do with the royal army, the children who Pesari went jogging with in the morning were more relevant.However, he changed his identity, and many years later, he no longer paid attention to this network.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't answer, Noah didn't keep it up.

"Remember that student you helped the black boxer before? He was the one who came out on top—Had."
