Tomorrow's Ark, raised by children

He is also wrapped in a black suit, the fabric is very rich, but it does not look bloated.There is a temperament of a pure book boy.

He seems to be a taciturn and honest child, but now, he can behave as if he is not silent at all.

"Xuan Liao, I've been listening."

Although he is only in his twenties, Zhang Yubai is already a well-known figure in the industry.

This boy is a newcomer, his companion, and the higher-ups handed her over to Zhang Yubai to teach.

He is a direct descendant of a famous family, young and promising, so he came to the organization Zhang Yubai belongs to for experience.

"Let me take the liberty to count down your rumors—you kill people when you see them, you have eyes that can see through evil, but no one in the world can escape your shadowless sword."

"That's nonsense! I'm just a social animal bearer who roams around, how can I be like a living Hades? What does it mean to kill anyone at sight? Slander, this is slander!"

Zhang Yubai protested.

"One mouthful of a child, one punch can kill a cow, there will be death wherever you walk, and it is said that your temperament is unpredictable... You have to eat ten sinful people for a meal."

"The most important thing! All the people in the world who have worked with you, even some officials, have been killed or injured! People say that you are an evil star!"

"Stop, stop."

Zhang Yubai waved his hands again and again, "It's just a rumor spread by those people in the Jianghu who have nothing to do! Do you know how lethal the rumor is? It spreads ten times, and I don't know how it became like this."

"Senior, you still have the nerve to say——every time you make a move, you have to say something that doesn't make sense like that, and then——"

The boy was almost out of breath because he spoke so fast.

"Must screw things up every time!"

"It's not a mess." Zhang Yubai scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Actually, we don't need a guide that much, do we? There must be a way!"

"Hey, those people are still too cowardly, especially the dwarf, his voice scared some of the guys who were mixed in the crowd who were on the court's bounty list. When they started to run, the others also wanted to run away." Run...so there's nothing I can do about it."

Anyway, the young man still has respect for Zhang Yubai.Even though he looked like he was complaining, he still didn't say any more.

This young man's surname is Zuo, his full name is Zuo Xuanliao, and he belongs to Si Suitai like Zhang Yubai.

Si Sui Tai belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and it was established for an existence called Sui Beast, which is responsible for governing giant beasts, that is, gods and other existences.Before other countries were worried about the gods hanging over their heads, Yan Kingdom had already begun to "dissect" and manage the giant beasts.And Candle Holder is a special person in Si Sui Taizhong who is in charge of investigating those incidents related to giant beasts.

At this stage, Zhang Yubai is the youngest candle bearer in the entire Si Sui Tai, and also the apprentice of Long Shuwen, the most powerful candle bearer in the previous era.He has a great reputation and has made countless achievements. At the same time, he will do some heroic things during the mission, so his reputation is also resounding in the world.

However, he is a person who pays attention to fame - it is not clear why, Zhang Yubai has been working on those tasks with great credit but high risk, just to get promoted.Now he has become the closest candle bearer to the high-level, and there seems to be a high-ranking official promotion, maybe with a few more contributions, he can be promoted to the top of the Ministry of Rites.

But it is precisely because of this almost pathological mentality of chasing fame and fortune that he has also offended many people in the arena and sent many of them in with his own hands.Over time, bad rumors about him spread.

Add to that the damage done to those who worked with him due to the dangers of things, and he was all the more terrifying.

By now, it has become a part of other people's design.Those who are timid and of low status will always avoid him when they see him.

But... even so, he still seems to have some unknown things that have not been exposed.

As for Zuo Xuanliao.... Although he called Zhang Yubai a senior and even a child, in fact he was like an old lady.

It can be said that Zhang Yubai has to worry about everything big and small.

After getting along, many people will find that Zhang Yubai is actually a very kind person.Despite his sometimes paranoid Radical code of conduct, he's easy to get along with.

But... maybe it is because of his overly easy-going carefree personality that Zuo Xuanliao, a junior, always thinks of this senior.

After all, even "big brother" can be called out, he will starve to death without Zuo Xuanliao.

"What now?"

Zuo Xuanliao said helplessly.

"Cold salad, let's go to Huiqi Mountain like this. Anyway, the storyteller also said that it is not far from Gouwu City..."

Zhang Yubai yawned.

Probably because he didn't sleep at noon, he felt a little sleepy.

"we can only do this......"

The reason for looking for a guide is because both of them are complete road idiots, the kind who would get lost even with a map.

Occasionally, the distinction between east, west and north is unclear.

This time, their mission was to find a giant beast on Huiqi Mountain. It seemed to be a painter. It had been entrenched in Huiqi Mountain all these years, and it didn't know what it was doing.Si Suitai asked them to visit and do research.But nothing extra was said.

However, this may just be incidental.....

Because according to the mission requirements, it is said that there is a suspected giant beast under a river near Huiqi Mountain that they need to deal with.

Only Zhang Yubai knew the details.

So this task has reached a high-risk level, but correspondingly, the meritorious service is also very rich.

So Zhang Yubai took it without hesitation—he wanted this feat.

As for Zuo Xuanliao... Naturally, he followed like a fool.

"correct."

Zuo Xuanliao stopped Zhang Yubai as if he suddenly thought of something.

"You've been absent-minded from the very beginning... Does the story told by the storyteller remind you of anything?"

Zuo Xuanliao was also in the teahouse just now, and accompanied Zhang Yubai who was so excited for some reason, after listening to the story told by the storyteller.

It is about a child of Qilin's lineage, who suddenly awakens after the death of his relatives, guards the entire Shangshu in the natural disaster, and fights against a god.

At the beginning, the masses didn't know about it, but they didn't understand everything until after the child left Shangshu for many days.

"No." Zhang Yubai smiled and shook his head, "It's just some ordinary passionate stories, nothing."

"Really?"

"real."

Zhang Yubai then looked at a street vendor selling oden cooking.

"Three sticks of spicy skewers! It's the perverted kind of spicy!"

The corner of Zuo Xuanliao's mouth twitched invisibly.

——Zhang Yubai loves spicy food very much, and it is extremely spicy, which ordinary people can't accept.

And Zhang Yubai is obviously not an ordinary person.

After paying the money and holding the spicy skewers, the two of them continued walking on the road...

----

I intend to write Zhang Yubai as a half-new character.

The things of these years will be clear in the memory.

Volume 54: Same goal by different routes: Chapter 53 Chapter [-]: Farce

"Senior, spicy food is bad for your health, I've said it many times..."

"Then help me eat it—it can't be wasted, can it?"

"...you have already eaten half of it, and I can't eat spicy food."

Zuo Xuanliao and Zhang Yubai walked side by side on the road.

In his dark blue pupils, although he couldn't see much expression, he could still feel a faint resentment.

"That's right." Zhang Yubai thought for a while, then bit off the meat on the bamboo stick with his teeth, and chewed.

He likes spicy food very much.

According to him, the habit of eating spicy food was developed in childhood.At that time, he met a woman who loved spicy food. Under the subtle influence, he gradually became addicted to spicy food. Until now, he has never liked spicy food.

He also mentioned another reason: eating spicy food can help him find the meaning of life.

It's really... philosophy.

"Let's hurry up and get some luggage on the road, and then we'll be on the road."

Xuan Liao Road on the left.

"Luggage? What kind of luggage do you want? You've already brought your weapons, right? If that's the case...then there's no need for anything else." Zhang Yubai shrugged and replied very casually.

"Don't you need dry food? You said the same thing last time, senior. In the end, we wandered around the mountains for three days, eating and sleeping in the open."

"...cough cough, then I will listen to you, um, I will listen to you."

Zhang Yubai was almost choked to death by his own saliva.

At the same time, the spicy taste also began to ferment in the throat.Although he likes spicy food, he also feels very uncomfortable when the whole throat is tingling.

"Just to buy two cups of herbal tea..."

"Senior, eating too much is not good for your body."

"Bullshit."

Eating is a must.

Anyway, enough money.

Si Suitai gave them a mission fund this time, which was quite sufficient for the two of them, plus Zhang Yubai himself had some money, so he could still eat and drink without any worries.

Spend whatever you want!

"Senior, you are indeed a person who grew up in Shang Shu..."

Zuo Xuanliao heard Zhang Yubai talk about his life in Shangshu when he was a child.

In his description, the old Shangshu was far inferior to the present Shangshu. At that time, Shangshu experienced a natural disaster, and the people everywhere were in dire straits.

But... with the unremitting efforts of people, they finally built tall buildings and made life better.

"Geographical discrimination!"

Zhang Yubai beat Zuo Xuanliao on the head mercilessly.

"Senior, don't hit me on the head!"

The latter suddenly let out a soft cry.

Just talking and joking all the way, Zuo Xuanliao and Zhang Yubai had already bought dry food and some necessary equipment.

The two of them each carried a burden and held herbal tea as they walked on a street in Gouwu City known for its local customs.

The central area of ​​Gowu City in Nuoda is extremely prosperous, like a golden pearl on a seat, shining absolutely.

"If you want to say that, then I will not be polite!"

The people in front suddenly became crowded. When you looked carefully, they were all gathered around a butcher's shop.

Some of them carried birdcages, inside which were uncle birds raised by Haosheng.

Others ate snacks and discarded the less-than-savory bits.

"Folks, tell me about this rough man, let me cut ten catties of lean meat, and three catties of fat. Then let me cut all the lean meat into stuffing, and then cut the fat into cubes In the end, you still want me to mix the two parts together, stir them, and then cut everything—isn’t this intentional to find fault?”

What is this called?

Zhang Yubai's eyes lit up.

"Don't meddle in your own business, senior."

Zuo Xuanliao hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yubai's sleeve and said coldly.

"Xuan Liao, what are you talking about? You see, in broad daylight, there are obviously unfair and unjust things happening. Since you and I have seen it and ignored it, aren't we ashamed of our status as officials? ? This official of the Yan Kingdom should do something good and practical for the people!"

Zhang Yubai pretended to be serious.

"Let's wait until I understand the situation—I'll go!"

Zuo Xuanliao bit his lip, and forcibly held Zhang Yubai who was about to walk over.

"You can't go!"

His voice became a little more menacing.

"Uh..." Seeing Zuo Xuanliao getting serious, Zhang Yubai softened for some reason.No words came out of my mouth.

"Well, if you don't go, then don't go... Take a look, look at the head office, right? Anyway, the task is not urgent."

"You volunteered to continue the task. If you can't finish it as soon as possible, what will you give?"
