Master, your personality is broken

The next day.

When Chen Xi woke up, he only felt sore arms, probably because he fell asleep with his master in his arms last night.

Now the bedside is empty, and the master has disappeared.

Maybe go eat, Chen Xi thought, feeling hungry all of a sudden.

He moved his arms and was about to get out of bed and go downstairs to see what was delicious.

Suddenly, the door opened.

I saw the master came in with a wooden plate, and there was a bowl on it.

Chen Xi sniffed it vigorously, and said pleasantly, "It's red bean porridge!"

Lin Jingran put the things on the table, and said with a light smile, "The red bean porridge in Fululou is a must. There are too many customers. I was afraid that the porridge would be sold out when you woke up, so I brought a bowl. Wake up, let's eat after washing up."

"Okay, thank you, Master!" Chen Xi was elated, and hurriedly ran to brush his teeth and wash his face.

He prefers sweets, and when he was in Lingfengmen, he especially liked the red bean porridge in Suwutang. Unexpectedly, the master remembered it and saved a bowl for him.

Sitting down at the table, the porridge was still steaming hot, Chen Xi picked up the small spoon and glanced at Master before scooping up the porridge.

Noticing the redness in Shizun's eyes, he couldn't help asking: "Master, didn't you sleep well last night? Could it be that I slept too restlessly and disturbed you?"

"No," Lin Jingran rubbed his eyes with a rare sign of fatigue, "I'm overthinking."

He would never say that it was because he had been thinking all night—who exactly does Xiao Xi like.

This question troubled him all night, but he still couldn't figure it out, and the apprentice didn't say it clearly, or he didn't want to reveal it, and he wouldn't press it out of respect.

Chen Xi didn't quite believe it: "Master is used to being pure-hearted and ascetic, so there will be times when he thinks too much, why don't you catch up on sleep?"

"Alright," Lin Jingran nodded, "Drink the porridge quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Chen Xi responded, seeing that Lin Jingran had already laid down, he felt strange, this was the first time he saw Master in such a slumped state, what happened?

Master may have his own considerations, Chen Xi is too lazy to guess, the most urgent thing is to enjoy the red bean porridge first.

Fu Lu Lou's red bean porridge is worthy of being a must. It has just the right amount of sweetness, is fragrant and delicious, and the heat is also just right. It will be too hard if you cook it for a while, and it will be too soft if you cook it for a while.

Chen Xi drank it happily, and his hunger was gone.

Seeing that the master had already slept peacefully, he went over to help cover the quilt lightly, and then went out to find Ling Aoyue.

Yesterday Ling Aoyue came to cry and complained, he laughed blindly, causing people to slam the door out, and after a night passed, Miss Ling disappeared.

Fortunately, Miss Ling has a lot of people, and when she sees people come to admit her mistakes, she calms down without saying a few words.

Ling Aoyue's mood obviously improved a lot, but she was still aggrieved when talking about what happened to Yun'er. Seeing that Chen Xi didn't care about the matter anymore, she forced someone to discuss it with Situ Yao.

The door of the room was opened by Abo, and as soon as Ling Aoyue and Chen Xi went in - the sun was high, Situ Yao was still lying on the bed, and he got up lazily when he saw someone coming, his feet were unsteady and almost fell when he landed, luckily Abo quickly rushed up to help him.

I saw Abo carefully help him to sit on the wooden bench, and when he was settled, Situ Yao shook off his hand angrily, and didn't even look at Abo the whole time.

Chen Xi felt baffled when he saw it, and couldn't help but ask, "No, what's wrong with you, Your Highness Situ? Yesterday was obviously a fantasy that I worked so hard to break into. Why do you still look terminally ill? And last night you Didn't go out either."

Listening to Chen Xi's daily teasing, Situ Yao rolled his eyes and said with a bad face, "None of your business."

His voice was hoarse than usual.

"Why is your voice still hoarse? This is the first time I've seen you and Abo like this. Did you quarrel?" Chen Xi walked over and sat down.

Situ Yao turned his head and didn't want to talk to him: "None of your business."

"Stupid, can you only say this sentence?" Chen Xi laughed.

Looking back, Ling Aoyue was still standing at the door, staring at Situ Yao thoughtfully, and he couldn't help reminding: "Ling Aoyue? Ling Aoyue, what's wrong with you? Why are you still standing at the door? Is it about Yun'er?"

Ling Aoyue woke up like a dream when she heard the call, glanced at Abo, walked over and sat beside Chen Xi.

The current atmosphere was too weird, but Chen Xi couldn't tell what was weird.

I just feel that these three people seem to have some ulterior secrets, but the three of them are tacit, but he is the only one who is kept in the dark.

On this side Ling Aoyue was in a daze and did not speak, while on the other side Situ Yao still tilted his head.

Abo was hopeless, and Chen Xi wanted to say something to adjust the atmosphere. When he took a closer look, there was an obvious bruise on Situ Yao's neck, which was exposed from the side of his head, and he couldn't help asking: "Good guy, what's wrong with you?" ? Did you get bitten by a bug on your neck?"

Situ Yao was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and tightened his collar to cover the marks, and said angrily, "Yes, I'm so pissed off!"

Chen Xi still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Ling Aoyue: "Okay, okay, don't get entangled in meaningless things, let's talk about the serious stuff..."

Chen Xi pursed his lips, looked at Ling Aoyue, then at Situ Yao, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, but this excited state felt a bit deliberate.

Chen Xi was not in the mood to interrupt, because he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Finally, he looked at Abo. For some reason, he thought that the taciturn Abo was the key to solving the mystery.

As noon approached, Situ Yao proposed to take a seat downstairs first, lest the five of them would not be able to eat together during peak hours.

Chen Xi was puzzled: "Isn't there a box? Why do you have to squeeze in the lobby? Although there are many people and the atmosphere is lively, it's too noisy."

Situ Yao said: "Of course I can listen to the gossip in the imperial city. Sitting in a box is so boring."

"Yes," Chen Xi became interested, "Then let's go quickly."

Situ Yao's condition improved a lot, but Chen Xi could clearly see that he was deliberately ignoring Abo, and his legs seemed to be a little uncomfortable when he went downstairs.

Could it be that Abo caused him to fall?

Chen Xi couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for now, not wanting to make unnecessary guesses.

There are square tables in the lobby of the inn. If five people sit down, two people need to sit on the same side, so Situ Yao pulled Ling Aoyue to sit on the side.

The dishes have been ordered, and they are all the signatures and popular ones in the store. After a long trip to the lower world, the food is naturally not to be missed.

Before it was time to eat at noon, the Fulu Building was full of seats.

Chen Xi looked around and couldn't help feeling: "There are so many people, this is too popular."

Situ Yao: "I'm right, I just need to come down early."

At this time, the table next door started chatting, and they said——

"Fortunately, I came early, otherwise there would be no place to stay."

"I didn't expect so many people to come to Beijing to watch the heir ceremony. The inn is full!"

"Originally, this kind of ceremony can be completed in the court hall. There is no chance for the public to see it. I heard that someone specially wrote a petition. It is the first time since the founding of the country. It is definitely possible to join in this excitement."

Hearing this, Chen Xi was curious: "It turns out that there is a grand ceremony for the establishment of an heir. What kind of heir should be established?"

Ling Aoyue thought for a while: "Oh, I heard Grandpa mentioned that it should be the crown prince. The current emperor in the world can be said to be hard-working and conscientious. He turned the tide and revived the slightly declining dynasty and created a prosperous age. That's why there are so many People who have the time and energy to come to Beijing to watch the grand ceremony.”

"Besides, there are three thousand beauties in the other emperor's harem, but he never married. More than 20 years ago, he asked his grandfather for a talisman as an excuse not to marry a wife, so as to stop the officials from admonishing him."

Chen Xi was surprised: "This is the real ruthless and desireless, and there is such an emperor."

Ling Aoyue said: "That's right, he is a legend, but people will eventually grow old and die. He should have passed the age to know his destiny, and if he has no heirs, he should choose a suitable heir from the clan."

Situ Yao sighed: "Although I have heard about his deeds before, I can't help but feel admiration when I hear it again. Having said that, I also want to watch the grand ceremony."

"I want to go too. It just so happens that there is nothing to do today. We can go and have a look together."

Chen Xi agreed, and seeing Situ Yao and Ling Aoyue winking at him, it took him a few seconds to react and realize who was in charge.

So he turned his gaze to Master and asked, "Master, can we go to see the grand ceremony?"

Lin Jingran said: "Of course."

After getting the consent, Chen clapped hands with Ling Aoyue and Situ Yao in a dancing gesture: "Alright, I heard from them that this is the first time since the founding of the country, and we are just in time."

"By the way," Chen Xi recalled and asked, "Didn't Master come to the imperial city at the request of the head of the sect? Why? It doesn't conflict with the Grand Ceremony, right?"

Lin Jingran said lightly: "You will know after the ceremony is over."

It doesn't start until the grand ceremony is announced, and there is still plenty of time after the meal.

The five of them went back to their rooms to rest first, and then went out when the time came.

Now, there are only two masters and apprentices in the room.

Chen Xi guessed that Master's coming to the imperial city must be related to the divine weapon, so it was difficult to ask because there were too many people, so he said directly, "Master came to the imperial city because of the divine weapon in the human world."

"Not necessarily," Lin Jingran replied, "The emperor hasn't made it clear yet."

Unexpectedly, it has not been clarified, but it is necessary to ask the master to come forward, and it must be close to ten.

Remembering that Master went to the Demon Realm for the artifact half a year ago, Chen Xi couldn’t help but ask: “By the way, Master, haven’t you found the artifact in the Demon Realm yet? The demon who stole the artifact has yet to be found. ?”

Lin Jingran nodded: "I haven't found it yet, but the power of the artifact is extraordinary, and it is difficult for ordinary people to control it. The monster rushed the artifact into his body. Although he saved his life and even increased his mana for a while, he might not last long. Backlashed by the artifact."

"It's like this..."

Chen Xi was a little dazed, and couldn't help but think, would it be the same if he used red lotus seeds to heal his wounds?

But after thinking about it, my father is so sure, there should be countermeasures.And the red lotus seed is the only hope for healing, even if there is a backlash, it will definitely be a risky attempt at that time.

After taking a nap, the time was almost up, and the five of them went out to watch the grand ceremony together.

The streets were already full of people, and many soldiers were sent to maintain order.

Chen Xi was walking, and vaguely saw a strange figure in the crowd, but he disappeared when he looked again.

He patrolled around, but found nothing, probably because of his misjudgment.

The troublemakers are also coming.
