First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 749: The Happiness of Empty (Second Update)

Gu Jiao crossed her arms, looked at Chen and said, "I don't believe you just stole a book. You must have done something else to make even a blind person remember you!"

 Lochen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, monks don't lie."

 Not a single dumpling filled with cabbage and meat was left in his empty bowl, and he even drank up the dumpling broth.

Gu Jiao thought to herself, are you a monk?

 “Master! Where do you live?” Xiao Jingkong asked.

"Master..." Liao Chen paused and said with a smile, "Master has a place to live, so you don't have to worry about Master."

"Oh." Xiao Jingkong said, "No, I just want to ask where you live. If I want to see you, I will go find you!"

Liaochen smiled: "No, master will come to you."

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and looked at him and said, "So Master will stay in Shengdu for a long, long time this time? I am going to school in Shengdu, and I don't know how long I will be there."

When it came to mentioning this, Xiao Heng remembered that their admission documents were all brought by Luo Chen and asked by the abbot.

 Who is he?

How did you get so many admission documents from Yan State?

 Is he from Yan State? If so, why did you go to Zhaoguo to become a monk?

Xiao Jingkong was present, and the adults spoke very restrainedly. They didn't ask a single word that shouldn't be asked, and they just complained silently in their hearts when they shouldn't complain.

Xiao Jingkong finished eating with a sigh of relief. He picked up the small bowl and drank up the soup without leaving a drop.

 “No, you eat so cleanly?” Liao Chen was shocked.

 You look more plump than in the temple, and it doesn’t look like they don’t feed you well on weekdays.

 Xiao Jingkong put down the bowl, turned to Chen and said seriously: "Every grain is hard work, Jiaojiao said, don't waste food!"

The dust curled up.

 After all, I am two years older and I no longer want to be a colander.

 In the past, when I ate in the temple, I would eat all the food and leak it all over the table.

Xiao Jingkong was sweating profusely after eating. Gu Jiao took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and asked, "Are you full?"

Xiao Jingkong rolled his eyes and pointed his little fingers: "Jiaojiao, can I eat another box of mille-feuille?"

"No." Gu Jiao refused, "If you eat too much at night, you will accumulate food."

This bowl of dumpling wrappers was given to him because he and the little princess had exhausted their energy by playing crazy.

 Liao Chen looked at his young apprentice with great interest.

Little disciple, hurry up and recite sutras, hurry up and speak the truth, hurry up and use your sharp tongue to talk to your opponent. Can't you talk from dawn to dusk?

Xiao Jingkong nodded cutely: "Okay Jiaojiao! Then I'll eat it tomorrow!"

　　　　　：“…!”

 Why can’t you be so obedient in the name of being a teacher?

Gu Jiao touched his round belly. She originally wanted to see if he could eat a small piece, but she decided not to.

 They all have a little watermelon belly.

A few people sat at the stall for a while, then got up and went for a walk on the street to satisfy Xiao Qingkong.

Gu Jiao led Xiao Jingkong in front, while Xiao Heng and Liao Chen followed behind.

Xiao Qingkong is still the most attached to Gu Jiao, but the arrival of Liao Chen can make people feel his happiness.

Liaochen suddenly said: "It's getting late, you should go back."

 Xiao Jingkong stopped and looked back at him: "But Master, you haven't asked me where I live yet?"

Liao Chen smiled gently: "Ah, really? Where do you live?"

Xiao Jingkong said: "I am currently living in the National Master's Palace! I may go back to the academy in a few days! I attend class in the Prodigy Class of Lingbo Academy, and my food and accommodation are in Linglong Pavilion of Canglan Women's Academy next door!"

 He gave an extremely detailed explanation, as if he was worried that the master would not be able to find him.

Liao Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember it, Master."

 Liao Chen said goodbye to the three of them, turned around and walked into the alley opposite.

Xiao Heng said: "Let's go back too."

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded and looked at the yawning Xiao Qingkong, "Can you still walk? I'll hold you."

 Xiao Jingkong touched his round belly, and a small tangle flashed in his eyes.

 Finally, he turned around and stretched out his small arms towards Xiao Heng: "Brother-in-law, hug me!"

 He has eaten a lot and is now a little chubby. He can’t tire out Jiaojiao!

Xiao Heng picked him up angrily and funny, held him in one hand and held Gu Jiao in the other, and walked back towards the Imperial Master's Hall.

“You are so heavy, please change your name to Xiaowei.”

“No! It’s because you are weak! You blame me if you can’t carry me! Are you an adult?”

“I am an adult, so do you admit that you are a child?”

　　…No, I am an adult and you are an old man!”

“Then you should carry me.”

　　　…”

In the alley, Liao Chen had not gone far. He stood quietly in the darkness, looking at the retreating figures of the three people and listening to the bickering sounds of "father and son".

did you see it?

 Hong Kong is very happy.

 He has a complete home.

 …

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

 Half of the bright moon hangs high above the stars.

　　　Le Chen left the noisy market and came to a long, quiet street.

 In stark contrast to the bustling bustle everywhere in the capital, this place is particularly desolate.

This is a place where even the night watchers don't want to come. It's like a passage in the underworld, full of ghosts and ghosts everywhere.

After dust, he came to a sealed-off mansion. He looked at it intently for a long time, then climbed up the steps and walked to the gate.

 The seal has long been broken and the iron lock is rusty.

 There were blood stains on the door.

 Lie Chen frowned.

He raised his eyes and looked at the plaque on the top that had long been cracked and covered with cobwebs. He moved his fingertips, as if he wanted to take it off and wipe it clean, but he resisted in the end.

He walked around to the side of the mansion and used his lightness skills to easily cross the courtyard wall with weeds growing in the gaps.

 He landed on a slippery patch of moss.

But he didn’t fall.

 He walked across the moss calmly.

The yard is covered with weeds as tall as a person. Even the gaps between the floor tiles are squeezed by weeds. The corridors on three sides are also blocked by weeds.

The only thing not invaded by weeds is a large white marble round table at Liao Chen's feet.

It’s just that it’s also covered in thick dust, and every step you take can leave your own footprints in the dust.

 The surroundings are too quiet.

 It is so quiet that it makes people feel sad.

After walking a few steps, he stopped in the center of the round platform.

 He looked straight ahead, his eyes blank and unfocused.

 “Come out,” he said.

 A small figure jumped down from the east wall.

"When did you find out?" Gu Jiao came up behind him, "Obviously I was very careful."

"Heh." Liao Chen didn't look back, looked at the vast galaxy, and said calmly, "You have something to ask me?"

Gu Jiao patted the dust on her body, spit out the weeds in her mouth, and asked, "Did you know who I am earlier?"

Liao Chen said: "How early did you say it was?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while and said, "You must have recognized me early in the morning when we were in Guanshan last time. I wonder if you also deliberately fell into a trap and waited for me to rescue you the first time in the countryside."

Liao Chenfeng Qingyun said calmly: "It was an accident to fall into the trap, and it was intentional to pretend that I didn't know you. My apprentice was adopted by you, and I have to find out what kind of family he is. I'll go to your village and visit him. , I’ve met your family, that’s all.”

Gu Jiao walked to his side, turned around and looked him up and down. His mood at this time was different from before.

A pair of peach blossom eyes are no longer evil, and the ungrateful smile on the corners of the lips is gone.

 His whole person was enveloped in an invisible aura.

 Gu Jiao withdrew her gaze and looked in the same direction as him - the vast starry sky.

“Okay, I’ll believe you for now. But why do you pretend you don’t know me?” Gu Jiao asked.

Aren’t you afraid that you might bring little grinders back from time to time to honor me?

Liao Chen said seriously: "I'm not used to dealing with other people. I feel more comfortable getting along with strangers. Otherwise, it would be annoying for you lay people to always interact with me."

"This reason is barely acceptable." Mainly because Gu Jiao felt that this issue was not very important, so it didn't matter to Gu Jiao whether he lied or not.

 But for the next question, Gu Jiao needed him to answer honestly.

Gu Jiao turned to look at him: "Do you know where this place is?"

 “Martial arts training ground.” Liao Chen said.

 After he finished speaking, he realized that Gu Jiao was not asking about the open space at his feet, but the entire mansion.

Gu Jiao turned around and stared at his side face for a moment: "You even know that this is the Xuanyuan family's martial arts training ground. What is your relationship with the Xuanyuan family? Don't say it doesn't matter. The marksmanship you taught me is Xuanyuan's. I already know the seven postures.”

 Liao Chen looked at the half of the bright moon, slightly clenched his fingers and said nothing.

Gu Jiao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer this question. After all, you are not one of me. You don't have to tell me about your affairs. Then let me change the question."

Her expression became serious and she asked irresistibly, "Does Jingkong have anything to do with the Xuanyuan family?"
