I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 49 Social Death
Now I can't go up or down.

In my heart, I just wanted to get Lize away as soon as possible.

I felt like my face was so red that it was about to burst into flames.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I whispered to the outside, "I'm up too, you go first."

"Then, get up first. I can't see you outside." His voice was still dull.

I even heard him swallow.

"What..., you are outside, I feel a little embarrassed, why don't you leave first." I stuttered.

"I won't tell anyone else about this. From now on it will be a secret between the two of us. You don't have to feel embarrassed."

Lize's voice was a little low, and his tone was dull. He didn't know if he was unhappy because of my repeated driving away.

"I haven't." I'm nothing? I actually felt very embarrassed.

I thought Xiaoxiquan was very secretive.

I thought Lize and I were the only ones who knew.

But before I got up, the voices of Zeng Wen and Chu Zhou and Chu Yan came from outside.

"Brother Lize."

Several people sounded a little happy.

He shouted from a distance.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Zhou asked.

I felt like a spiritual force suddenly blocked the entire hot spring.

Then Lize's voice came, a little condensed, "I'll rest here."

This sounds much more normal, but the temperature is a bit low.

Chu Zhou turned around a few times and said, "There's nothing here, it's just that the fog is quite heavy."

His footsteps grew closer and farther away.

The three of them seemed not to have discovered the hot spring.

I still didn't dare to move or speak.

"Have you seen Qingwan? A few days ago, she said she was making Wuling tea and had no time to talk to me. I just went to look for her again, and the people in the kitchen said she was here." Chu Yan's voice was full of exploration.

Although Chu Yan has a weird temper, he is very smart, just like a little fox.

"Why are you looking for her?" Lize's tone was a little bad, and then he added, "I didn't see it. You saw her last time too. I'm not familiar with her, and she didn't even give me Wuling tea."

When Lize said this, he seemed a little depressed.

You must have told me on purpose.

Chu Yan was fooled by him, "Is that so? I also want to ask her if she is free in the next few days. We are going to Tianquanmen, and I want to ask her if she will come with us."

"She..." Lize hesitated, what if he refused and I went to blame him again.

Lize's temperament is too direct, and he doesn't have as many twists and turns as Chu Yan.

He never thought that since he didn't know where I was, he just said he didn't know, and his hesitation aroused Chu Yan's suspicion.

"Do you know where she is?" His momentary hesitation made Chu Yan suspicious again.

This Chu Yan has a really good brain. The old man always likes to say that this ghost is clever.

"do not know."

Lize's denial did not dispel Chu Yan's suspicion.

Chu Yan wandered around the outside of the hot spring twice suspiciously, "Oh, forget it if you don't know, let's go look elsewhere."

After several people said goodbye to each other, the three of them walked away.

There was also Chu Zhou's muttering when he pulled the reluctant Chu Yan away.

"He must know where Qingwan has gone, let's see if I don't blow him up."

"So what if it explodes? Qingwan will come back naturally when she is done with her work. Let's go back and wait."

The sound is getting farther and farther away.

I took advantage of this gap, quickly put on my clothes, and used my spiritual power to steam dry the wet clothes on my body.

Then he walked out.

"Well, my Wuling tea green leaves are nourished with spiritual energy at the mouth of the hot spring."

When I walked out, I discovered that Lize had surrounded the hot spring with a barrier.

And I couldn't get out.

"Oh, are you done soaking it? If not, you can continue. I'll watch it for you." At this moment, Lize's expression returned to normal.

"It's ready."

Suddenly, I had a whimsical idea, "If I can refine Xiaoxiquan into the realm, wouldn't I be afraid of others entering?"

I was just feeling proud of my idea. Lize suddenly said, "This is not difficult, but if you take it into the realm, what should I do if I want to soak in the hot springs in the future?"

I looked stunned, "This..."

I raised my eyes to peek at him, and he was looking at me with a joking expression.

"How about I let you go in for a dip, what do you think?" I asked.

Lize was really thinking about my thoughts.

He was silent for a while and then said, "It's not impossible. Since you are so generous, I will refine a realm for you in the future and then put the hot spring in it."

My mind had already run away, and I didn't hear what he said. He had already compromised.

He called me several times before I came back to my senses, "Qingwan? Are you listening?"

"I'm...listening."

"Oh, I think you may not have had a good rest. How about you go back and rest."

There are few people coming to Xiaoxiquan on weekdays.

When I talked to people in the kitchen, I only talked about this part, not at Xiaoxiquan.

So when they came to find me just now, they probably only knew that I was in this direction, not Xiaoxiquan.

"No, I was thinking, why are they looking for me?" I suddenly realized that I probably couldn't change my problem of wandering around the world.

"I heard that Tianquan Sect has a secret technique that can make people lose consciousness without knowing it." Lize suddenly said.

When mentioning this secret technique, Lize seemed to have something wrong with his expression.

"This secret technique is not an orthodox Taoist method. If it were not for the good relationship between the Tianquan Sect and the ancestors of the Zeng family, and the two families have always supported each other, other sects would not have allowed it to develop to this day."

Now that the two families are united, ordinary family clans are no match at all.

No wonder Lize wasn't happy, I was scared to hear such a technique.

If a person cannot even control his own consciousness.

Then the meaning of his life is lost.

Living like this is the saddest thing.

"So, it would be great if such a secret technique could be eliminated." I am always whimsical.

How can I, a late-stage Jindan monk, be able to do whatever I want?

Whenever you travel, you need the protection of your sect brothers.

"Well, so if you want to go to Tianquanmen, Qingwan shouldn't go alone. I'll accompany you." Lize told me.

I see he is really worried.

Then he nodded solemnly and promised, "Well, I will definitely not go secretly."

This statement has the feeling that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Just as he was talking, the little fox suddenly turned back.

When he saw Lize, he groaned dissatisfiedly.

Lize chuckled, "What's the matter? Didn't you learn a lesson last time?"

I quickly picked it up and said, "Lize, my fox is still young. Don't be as knowledgeable as him, haha."

The little fox snorted dissatisfiedly again.

"I told you, he is a thousand years old at least, and he is older than you. Now he is injured and can't transform, so he is pretending to be young like you." Lize's tone was a little depressed.

He felt that the fox was obviously an adult man, but he was always protected and held in my arms.

"Don't call me fox, I have a name."

"So you're dissatisfied because I didn't call you by your name? Not because of Lize?" I suddenly understood the fox's psychology.

I have formed a spiritual contract with the fox for more than half a month, but I keep barking like a fox.

No wonder he grunted when he saw me these days. It turned out to be because I didn't ask his name.

This arrogant fox is quite awkward.

"Humph."

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help laughing, and reached out to poke the tip of his nose, "What's your name?"

The fox snorted arrogantly, "Since you are my master, I allow you to call me by my name."

I blinked my eyes, raised my lips and smiled, "So, what is it called?"

"Heng Yue." After the fox said his name, his tail was still wagging.

It looks more like a puppy now.

His nine tails are all wagging, and he looks better than a puppy.
