Martial Cultivator

He and Zhu Xia walked towards the candied date shop on South Street. Zhu Xia took the initiative and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Master left a Taoist thought on me when I went out this time. If anything happens to me, he will be there in an instant. It's nothing." Danger."

"Dao Nian."

Chen Chao nodded. He knew that this was the Taoist master's method. He could leave a trace of thought on others. If they were not far apart, they would arrive in an instant when that person was in danger. If they were too far apart, that trace of Taoism would Nian will also have the power to leave behind some of the power of Dao Nian. This method is available to monks from various schools and has different names.

Chen Chao sighed with emotion, "Your master really loves you."

Zhu Xia said matter-of-factly, "That's natural. My master naturally loves me very much."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "If that's the case, why did he take the first step to see the dean when he first entered the city?"

Chen Chao only found out about this later that the Taoist Master of the Wantian Palace, who was also the master of the saint in front of him, had drifted away before entering the city that day, ignoring the girl in front of him. If it hadn't been for this, there wouldn't have been the assassination that day.

When mentioning this, Zhu Xia was not happy and said, "Even so, I don't think he takes me as a disciple seriously. If there is a next time, be careful that I change my family directly and go to the academy to study and become a disciple of the dean!"

Hearing this, Chen Chao laughed dumbly. Although he thought this was a bit funny, he also knew that Zhu Xia could say such words without caring, which proved that she was really casual in Wantian Palace, at least in front of her master. In this way, it also proves that the Taoist master really loves this disciple.

"But there is some grudge between the master and the dean, so I can understand him being so anxious." 🄲

Zhu Xia's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said with some confusion, "I don't know why master has a grudge against the dean. The dean is so good-looking."

Chen Chao couldn't help but ask, "Is the dean good-looking?"

Zhu Xia nodded, looked at Chen Chao, and said responsibly, "Much better looking than you!"

"Okay, that's a good point. Don't say it again next time."

Chen Chao was speechless. Was he born ugly?

Zhu Xia seemed to know what Chen Chao was thinking, and shook his head and said, "It's not that you are ugly, it's that the dean is really good-looking."

Chen Chao was hit again. The girl's seemingly comforting words had no comforting effect.

"Whenever I meet the dean in person, I want to see how much better looking he is than me!"

Chen Chao snorted, and when he looked up, the candied date shop was already in front of him.

This candied date store on South Street is very good. It was only early in the morning and there was already a long queue. Zhu Xia was very happy to see this. She quickly pulled Chen Chao to stop behind the people and said with lingering fear, "It's okay, okay."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "What's the matter? There are so many people."

Zhu Xia raised her lips and said, "You don't know this. When I came here a few days ago, there was no one queuing up here. That's really miserable. It means it's sold out. If there's a line today, it means we still have time to come. It’s not too late, isn’t that good?”\u003c

Chen Chao glanced at the long queue. Although he had been in Shendu longer than Zhu Xia, he actually didn't care too much about these things. He had never been here, let alone wasted half a day waiting in line. .

"These candied dates are extremely delicious. I will bring a bag to Sister Xie later."

Zhu Xia lives in the academy these days and has a good relationship with Xie Nandu. Although the two of them have made up their minds to compete in the literary examination, there is no smell of gunpowder in private. The first meeting is similar to a declaration of war, which is also true. It's because of her character, and she's not targeting anyone.

Chen Chao nodded. He hadn't been to the academy for a few days. It was a good time to bring some candied dates to see her today. I guess she also liked these foods.

"Speaking of which, looking at such a long queue, don't you think of jumping in?"

These days, monks from outside the country have been pouring into the capital of God. Although they have not done anything too extreme, they often insult the people of the capital of God. Although everything was calmed down in the end, it was not a good thing for the Liang Dynasty. For a monk with Zhu Xia's status, as long as she revealed her identity, the people in front of her would have no choice but to disperse, but she did not do that.

"Ah, hey, I live in the academy, and I want to be reasonable, okay?"

Zhu Xia sighed, then lowered his voice and laughed, "If I'm unreasonable, how can you, the deputy commander of the left guard, take action?"

Chen Chao said seriously, "I can't beat your master."

Zhu Xia smiled, as if the two dimples contained a lake of clear water.

Chen Chao looked up at the sun, pointed at the big tree in the distance, and said, "Go and get away. I'll buy it."

Zhu Xia hummed, it was midsummer in the capital of Gods now, and it was extremely hot even in the morning. She just started practicing. It was not like Chen Chao, who could ignore the current weather. After hearing what Chen Chao said, she hurriedly jumped up and ran. She went to the big tree nearby and took out a deck chair like a magic trick, and then took out a box of ice cubes. She lay contentedly in the shade of the tree and began to doze off. In order to get up early to buy candied dates, she didn't sleep well all night.

Chen Chao looked at her and felt that he might have been deceived.

Zhu Xia asked him out, perhaps just to get him to queue up to buy candied dates.

Shaking his head, Chen Chao stopped thinking about it and just lined up quietly.

The business of this candied date shop was very good, and the queue was very long. It really took him half a day to get to the front of the queue, and there were only people in front of him.

Then he heard the fat middle-aged man say, "I want twenty bags. My son will be full moon in a few days. I like your candied dates the best!"

Chen Chao glanced at the few candied dates placed on the counter.

Look at the two other people in front.

He thought silently, my luck shouldn't be so bad.

"My wife is in confinement

Son, this is the best, give me twenty bags. "

The man in front of him was very excited when he spoke like this. He didn't know whether it was because he gave birth to a son or because his wife was in confinement.

Chen Chao looked at the twenty bags and was afraid that there wouldn't be many bags left. He quickly said, "Brother, my family runs a medical clinic. Women who are in confinement should eat less candied dates!"

The man turned around and asked with some confusion, "Don't dates replenish blood?"

Chen Chao's expression did not change and he said seriously, "This is what is written in the medical books. I won't lie."

After hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, and then shouted, "Then only ten bags."

Taking the candied dates from the store clerk, the man thanked Chen Chao, "Thank you very much, brother. Where is the medical clinic? I will definitely come to your home for medical treatment next time!"

Chen Chao had a chat with the man and didn't say anything else.

Finally, there was only one person left in front of me, and there were seventeen or eighteen bags of candied dates on the counter.

"Wrap up the rest for me."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Chen Chao was startled.

Chen Chaozheng was about to speak, but the woman turned to him and smiled and said, "Young man, the medical book says that women should not eat more candied dates during confinement. Which medical book does it say that?"

The woman obviously had a narrow-minded look in her eyes.

This means that she is an expert. She can clearly see the things that Chen Chao did to coax people before.

Chen Chao said with a bitter face, "Sister, you have to leave two bags for me. The girl I like likes this candied date the most. If she can't buy it, she will definitely hate me."

The woman smiled, shook her head and said, "What a pitiful young man. That's all. Shopkeeper, please leave two bags for him."

After saying this, the woman paid and left with the candied dates.

Chen Chao watched her go away with gratitude in his eyes.

What he said was not too false. Zhu Xia was far away. If she couldn't eat candied dates today after waiting for several days, she would definitely go berserk.

If she were queuing up here right now, she would probably start acting up and rolling around.

Finally arriving at the front of the shop, the waiter handed him the only two bags of candied dates left on the counter and said with a smile, "You are so lucky. These are the last two bags."

Of course this is due to luck. If there is one bag left, should it be given to Zhu Xia or Xie Nandu?

Chen Chao retorted seriously, "What kind of luck? I only got these last two bags through hard work."

The waiter didn't say anything, he just took the money from Chen Chao and handed him two bags of candied dates.

At this moment, a money bag suddenly fell on the counter between the two of them.

A voice sounded outside the shop, "I want these two bags of candied dates."

Chen Chao frowned when he heard the voice, feeling a little angry for no reason. It took him half a day to finally buy two bags of candied dates. Who the hell wants to interfere?

Chen Chao turned around and saw the two people heading towards

Here came a man and a woman. The man was not good-looking, but the woman was pretty, with two willow-leaf eyebrows and a cherry mouth. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her skin was as smooth as gelatin, but the expression on her face was a little indifferent at the moment. It ruins this beauty.

He is a monk from outside the country.

The man did not look at Chen Chao, but looked at the waiter and said, "There are two pieces of heavenly money in that bag."

Two pieces of gold are already almost several months of profit for this candied date shop.

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, these two bags of candied dates are what this young man wants first."

The man smiled and said, "If it's one thing, it's another thing if we haven't reached a deal yet. If I offer a higher price, won't you sell it to me?"

Perhaps in front of the woman, the man wanted to show his grace and so on, so he did not use force to overpower her.

The clerk smiled bitterly and said, "There must be someone who comes first, first served. Even if we don't sell to this young master, there are still many customers lining up behind him. The immortal master can't buy and sell by force."

The guy had some experience and knew that the two people in front of him had extraordinary identities, but since he could say this after knowing each other's identities, he must be quite courageous.

A cold look flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly turned to look at Chen Chao and asked, "In that case, are you willing to give me these two bags of candied dates? I can pay a higher price."

After hearing this, Chen Chao smiled and said, "It's not impossible. I don't know how much money the immortal master can give."

"Give me one more."

The man said, "It's quite a lot."

Chen Chao nodded in agreement and said, "It's quite a lot. If I replace this with Daliang Tongbao, I can buy a lot of candied dates. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them until I'm tired of them."

The man smiled, didn't say anything, and reached out to take the candied dates.

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Although it's a lot, I still think it's not enough. I spent a whole morning and even deceived two people. Three pieces of money are not enough."

The man frowned and said, "Young man, don't let the lion open your mouth. This is already far more than the price of the candied dates in your hand."

There was already some anger between his brows, and it seemed that he could hardly hold back anymore.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "I don't object, but for me, it's still not enough."

"Business and purchase are all between you and me. Since the Immortal Master is not willing to pay a high price anymore, then forget it."

Chen Chao took two bags of candied dates and was about to leave.

The woman's face already looked a little unsightly.

The man then said coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and said, "Then do you know who I am?"

The man was startled, not knowing what he was thinking of, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Chen Chao laughed, looked at him and said, "Who am I? I am a person who gets up early to buy candied dates."
