I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 26 Chapter Zi Ling
After leaving the door, Jingzheng was still waiting in the yard.

"Jingzheng, quit that mission. From now on, you will follow me and enjoy the good life."

Jingzheng stepped forward, "Ancestor, such a good thing? Where did it come from?"

Lize hurriedly covered my mouth, "No, it's just your ancestor. If you need to practice, go and practice. Remember to pay attention to safety and set off now."

I held his hand and said, "What are you doing? Jingzheng is so young, it's so dangerous outside! Are you sure you can let him go out alone?"

There were black lines on Lize's forehead, "Jingzheng is older than you, so he looks a little younger."

"Ah?" I looked at Jingzheng and he nodded and smiled.

"Ancestor, I am twenty-eight this year."

I stopped and said, "Oh, okay, then you walk slowly and come back early, and I won't send you off."

After sending Jingzheng away, I couldn't wait to go to my new place of work.

As Lize walked, he muttered to himself, "I don't want such a big bag of high-grade spiritual stones. I have to earn thirty yuan a month."

"What did you say?" I approached him, wanting to hear what he was mumbling.

"No, I didn't say anything!"

I squinted at him and said, "If you don't believe me, just don't tell me."

He followed me with his head down, but stopped talking several times.

The kitchen of Tianjiyuan is opposite the Director's Courtyard, which means you have to cross the square to get there.

It is still a three-story building. The first floor is the kitchen, and the second and third floors are for the chefs who help in the kitchen.

I asked Lize, "Where do I live?"

"You live in the Director's Court, so I can protect you at night." Lize looked around, but didn't look at me.

"Your place is too far away. I want to live here. It's convenient to get up early in the morning." His office is too far away from here, and I was particularly resistant to the thought of traveling so far back and forth every day.

"You only need to come here once a day to arrange things. At other times, you can still go out and do tasks." Seeing that I was unmoved, Lize could only seduce me with spiritual stones again.

I was confused, this is really good, if I save enough spiritual stones early, I can go back.

I always feel like Lize is a bit deceitful.

Hey, the person in front with a bruised nose and swollen face seems to be Xu Jiu?
I pulled Lize and asked, "What happened to Xu Jiu? Was he beaten?"

Xu Jiu looked back and stared at me, his eyes full of grievance and sorrow.

Lize looked at him with disgust, "No, he accidentally fell while walking and landed on his face."

"Haha, you are so unlucky, you deserve it." I couldn't help laughing, it was so funny.

How funny it would be if a man fell over a clock while walking.

Seeing me smiling happily, Lize also laughed, his eyes as gentle as if there was light, "Indeed."

Xu Jiu's cheeks bulged, and her mouth opened and closed several times, but she couldn't say a word.

Finally, he snorted and turned away.

Lize smiled and suddenly looked at me seriously.

He reached out and picked off a leaf on my head, "Your cultivation is too low now. I really don't trust you to go out alone. On weekdays, if you want to take on a mission, just wait for me. Don't take risks alone, okay?"

The happy mood just now became complicated due to his words.

I stopped laughing and looked at Lize seriously, "Lize, what are the monks fighting for?"

With his intelligence, he naturally knew what I wanted to say. After a long silence, he reluctantly replied, "Cultivation."

"If I have been relying on you and one day you leave, how will I survive? Or should I find someone to rely on again?" I continued.

Lize was silent. He was always afraid that I would be hurt. He obviously came out of the thorn bush, but he was blind when it came to my affairs.

He seems to be considering the outcome I mentioned. Maybe even if this is the case, he still can't accept it.

"Experience doesn't have to be risky. I have a way to make you grow, and I can make you grow as quickly as possible."

"I believe you can do it, but I don't believe in myself. I don't have that much ability. So what if I only have a whole body of cultivation? In the world of cultivation, don't mice kill cats rarely?" I continued to persuade him earnestly and kindly, hoping to Turn his mind around.

Li Ze lowered his eyes and said nothing, exuding an aura of resistance.

"Have you never met anyone who was more powerful than you in your life, and then relied on your own experience to fight back?" I couldn't bear it, so I had to ask him softly.

He seemed to be lost in memories, his expression was in a trance, changing again and again.

In the end, he nodded and agreed to my proposal. He went out to practice, but he didn't follow me. If I encountered danger, I would call for help.

There are a lot of people helping in the kitchen, two of them are fixed, and the others come in turns, and one group changes every five days. Lize just asked me to remember the fixed two people.

"The two of them are invited from outside. You can just give them orders if you have anything to do. They will make a list of the food they buy every day and bring it to you. You can then give it to Xu Jiu. Someone will deliver the food. You don't have to worry about other things. .”

The man and woman who helped in the kitchen came in after receiving a task from Tianji City. They were both foundation-building monks, and the food they cooked was delicious.

Tianjiyuan is different from Xuanqingmen. There is a rich variety of dishes every day. Vegetarian food is served on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and meat and vegetables are available every other day.

After Lize's introduction, he was about to take me away. I wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but he wouldn't let me go regardless of what he said.

"Why?"

"It's a place where other people live. Why are you going to see it? Besides, there is a friar. Can you live here? Come and live with me."

"You, the dignified Master of the Discipline Hall, actually pretend to be public and benefit your own interests." I can't defeat you, so why can't I defeat you?

Lize frowned and rubbed his temples, and said rogue, "Yes, my uncle is right, I am just pretending to be a public servant for personal gain. Come back with me, and I will take you to see the night view of Tianji City later."

I actually don’t like going out at all, the night view is boring.

boring.

I just want to earn spiritual stones.

I was coaxed back to the director's courtyard by Lize Lian, and saw Zi Ling waiting at the door of Lize's room from a distance.

The peaceful atmosphere I had with him suddenly disappeared, and I turned around and walked out.

Only then did Lize notice the person at the door.

He scratched his hair in annoyance, gritted his teeth tightly, and pulled me, "Listen to my explanation, it's really not what you think."

I stopped and listened to his explanation. He seemed to be trying to organize his words. He looked at me, then at Zi Ling, scratching his head, "It was Xu Jiu's bad idea, and he asked Zi Ling to act."

"Purpose?"

"The purpose is..." When he said this, he seemed a little shy.

"What?" Well, my bad taste is here again.

"I want to see your reaction, and I also want to make you...jealous."

After Lize finished speaking, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were wandering, and the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was remembering the farce before.

"As the directors of Tianjiyuan and Tianji City, you are so... naive."

But I didn’t tell Lize that when a woman looks at a woman, it’s not about those things, but her sixth sense.

My sixth sense has always been accurate.

Zi Ling definitely likes him, and she can't hide the look in her eyes when she likes someone.

Just like there are many people playing together, you will always look at the person you like involuntarily, and even lose your mind.

I greeted Zi Ling at the entrance of the courtyard, and I went in with my head raised. Lize took Zi Ling to the study to discuss things.

The night view of Tianji City is really nothing to see, it’s pitch black.

Lize took me to the top of the highest building. The wind blew me into a ball, while he lay down and looked at the sky with relish.

"Lize, I'm cold."

He sat up and pulled me into his arms.

There is always a faint scent of sandalwood in his arms.

"?"

"This way it won't be cold."

"Is this what that bastard Xu Jiu taught you?"

This kind of method is common in the human world. Xu Jiu is used to giving him bad ideas. This is definitely Xu Jiu.

"Uncle, Xu Jiu is also doing it for my own good, so don't blame him." Lize's voice was smiling and gentle.

When he hugged me, I was indeed not cold anymore, and I was still a little warm.

"I don't blame him."

I relaxed and leaned my head on his shoulder. He lowered his head and leaned against mine, looking at the night sky quietly.

Quiet and comfortable.
