I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 22 Nonsense Xu Ba

Jingzheng tied the two fainting people together with a rope blessed by spiritual power.

Then he left the two of them behind, walked up to Li Ze, knelt down on the ground, and said with excitement in his voice, "Jingzheng has met the master."

After speaking, he knocked to the ground three times, and his forehead turned blood red.

I glanced sideways at Lize and met his gaze. I pulled the corners of my lips and smiled dryly, "Jingzheng is so kind to you. He spends so much money."

"Really?" He had a calm expression on his face, not like he did a few days ago when he would obediently circle around me when he saw me.

"Yeah, he praises you in front of me every day."

Lize turned to look at Jingzheng, "Get up, your master taught you very well."

"Thank you, Master." As he said that, Jingzheng actually shed tears.

It's not that big of a deal. I just praised him and cried like this.

"Jingzheng is really good." I praised him to see if I would burst into tears.

Jingzheng's face showed no change, tears were still streaming down his face, while Lize's expression became even lighter.

Forgive me for being petty, but he is still jealous, so he shouldn't be angry.

I retracted the raised corners of my lips and followed Lize around.

Lize turned around and took away the evil cultivator tied behind him, then walked towards Tianji City.

After passing the boundary monument, I saw the gate tower of Tianji City in the distance. The gate tower was looming in the mist.

Because it was morning, there were not many monks walking back on the road, and monks in twos and threes flew overhead together.

I turned around and looked around, "When can I fly with a sword like them?"

Jingzheng followed Lize closely all the way, and Lize didn't chase him away.

As for me, Lize was probably angry that I left without saying goodbye. Apart from saying a few words at the beginning, he ignored me or even turned a blind eye.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but I just can't help it.

An arrogant, awkward and sultry man.

If you think about it, he should be angry.

If you are in danger and you know someone is threatening you, notify him to come to the rescue.

There was no danger anymore, so I thought he was trouble and wanted to hang out alone.

If it were me, I would be angry too.

Not long after walking, a group of people gathered around the dirt road, all turning to look at us.

"Jingzheng."

"Master, disciple and grandson are here."

"Take these two people with my warrant and send them to the Tianjiyuan Law Enforcement Hall." Lize took out an envelope, handed a bottle containing the evil cultivator to Jingzheng, and ordered.

Jingzheng took the things and said goodbye to me, "Ancestor, your spirit stone, I will return it to you after I go back and sell the Wuling Beast."

"Yeah, well, go ahead and take your time on the road."

You still have a conscience and know how to say goodbye to me.

After sending Jingzheng away, Lize walked towards the crowd on the roadside.

Seeing him coming, everyone around them got out of the way.

Only then did I see that there was a hole between the group of people, and a barrier was set up at the entrance to prevent others from entering or exiting.

"Several people have fallen down, and now I don't know what's going on inside." One of them complained to Lize.

"Where's Xu Jiu?"

alcoholism? Which boss is so good at naming names?
Xu Jiu? Xu Jiu from Tianjiyuan?
"Last night he said he was going out for a drink, but I didn't go, so he went out alone."

It does have a lot to do with the name.

Could it be that the person who doesn’t go is called quitting drinking?

"Today's Tianjiyuan is becoming more and more unruly?" Lize's tone was solemn, and the people around him took a few steps back and bowed their heads in silence.

"He can be saved, but after he comes out, he will be punished as he wants. It's useless for anyone to plead for mercy." Lize glanced around.

Several people said yes one after another, not even daring to breathe.

"Set up the formation and catch the turtle in the urn later."

"Yes." Several people nodded again, holding formation flags in their hands and placing them around.

Then several people took out high-grade spiritual stones and placed them next to the formation flag.

Lize ignored me, and I didn't rush forward. I followed behind to see how he planned to save people.

I saw the person who was in front of me just now suddenly disappeared.

That's right, Lize jumped down.

And it disappeared instantly.

I was thinking that if I had encountered such a situation two days ago, he would have turned around and told me to stop running around and come back as soon as he went. Sure enough, the love will disappear.

If you don't like it, please go away.

"Are you the girl who just asked for help from Lize?" The friend who just said not to drink looked at me and asked.

This dear man has a delicate appearance and a delicate voice. His age is not obvious, and he seems to be about the same as Lize.

He calls Lize by his first name, and his relationship with Lize should be good.

"Is there any problem?" I really don't know how to talk to people I don't know well.

When I was in school, many classmates and friends said that I was a topic killer.

"No, this is the first time I've seen him so panicked, especially when I heard a woman's voice coming from inside, so I'm a little curious about you." There was a joking tone in his tone.

"You may have seen it wrong. Didn't you see that he ignored me just now?"

"Lize has always been like this. No matter how much he cares in his heart, he pretends to be disdainful on the outside."

He really knew Lize very well, he was a proper boring man.

Thinking back carefully, was I like this before?

I obviously like someone, but I can't remember at what stage I felt like this.

This feeling is familiar yet strange.

"Really? You have some free time to chat, why don't you go down and help him?" I glanced at him.

"Lize is so powerful, why do you need me to help? I can only do a disservice." He touched his nose and smiled.

This is a common action used by people to hide their emotions.

Fluctuations of spiritual energy came from the black hole from time to time, "There's a fight down there, aren't you going to help?"

The alcoholic man shook his head like a rattle, "If Lize can do it, we will be a disservice if we go there. If Lize can't defeat him, we will die if we go."

"Then you are still standing so close, what kind of cultivation are you doing?"

"Later stage of pill formation..."

"That's true. It's a drag even if I go there." After I said this, the others looked calm.

Only the monk who spoke to me looked as if he would rather die than die.

In the eyes of the monks at the Nascent Soul Stage, the Dan Formation Stage is really a drag, and I might just be regarded as a little ant that keeps scratching an itch.

"My name is Xu Ba, what do fellow practitioners call me?"

It turns out it’s not called quitting drinking, he is Xu Ba!

"My name is Qingwan, Lize's uncle."

"Hey, no wonder Lize is so nervous about you. You are the youngest disciple of the Xuanqing Sect Master!" He suddenly realized.

"How did you get into Tianjiyuan?" How could you be so stupid and get in?
"I used to be admitted to study, but later I followed Lize and stayed." He said proudly.

"So, he has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, but you are still jumping around in the later stage of Dan Formation?" Sorry, I really speak my mind, and I don't want to hurt others.

In Xu Ba's injured world, any comfort is illusory, "How long did it take for you to reach the fifth level of Qi training?"

I didn’t understand why he asked, so he replied honestly, “About thirty, not even forty.”

The injured expression just now changed. He raised his hand and gave himself a mouthful, "Sure enough, there are no useless people around the master. I was the one who asked too much just now."

"It takes more than three years for others to practice the fifth level of Qi. All masters are lonely."

"..."

He knelt down and said, "I don't deserve it."

"..."

"When will days like this end?" he muttered to himself.

"Are you okay?" Is this such a big shock? Are you crazy?

"It's okay, just leave me alone. I'm fine." He stood up and jumped down from the hole.

"..." This is suicidal.

The few people surrounding him remained calm and looked at the entrance of the cave.

"Aren't you going to save him?" I asked tentatively.

"It's okay, he's tough." The remaining people seemed to be used to his nonsensical fuss.

The remaining few spoke little, and with me as the topic stopper, a kind of silence spread.

I stepped back and found a place to sit cross-legged and close my eyes to relax.

When I was about to fall asleep, Lize finally came out.

Followed by several people he rescued.
