Don't follow the rules

Chapter 541: Cross Church (IV)
"Xin Cheng? And Tom Cruise! It's such a coincidence that we meet in such a huge crowd of people, and you even ordered a table full of fried chicken! Hehe, but it's not surprising~ I guess you can't finish it by yourself? Don't panic, I'll help you!" Ning Yao rubbed his hands together, and slid through the sensor door that had just opened a crack like a wretched fish, and went into the fragrant Kaifeng restaurant, squeezed next to Xin Cheng, and started to eat the hot chicken legs ordered by him without any hesitation.

"You can just call me Xiao Tang. That nickname doesn't seem to match my personality..." Assistant Tang stood up and gave up his seat with a little dissatisfaction.

Ning Yao held up the chicken leg and called out to Chun Yu Kong behind him: "Come on, come on, it's free."

Xin Cheng waved his hand with a sad look, as if to say hello to Ning Yao, but in the blink of an eye his attention was immediately attracted by Chun Yukong behind Ning Yao. Assistant Tang was very perceptive and asked on his behalf in a very considerate manner: "Mr. Ning, is this gentleman your new partner?"

Ning Yao: "My father."

The two stood in awe, and Xin Cheng subconsciously straightened his back with a look of awe on his face: "Ning, Mr. Ning! Fantasy novels are not deceiving me. It turns out that cultivating immortals can really keep you young forever..."

Chun Yukong sat down elegantly and picked up a French fry: "Hello, my name is Chun Yukong, I am Ning Yao's partner, he is farting."

Assistant Tang went out speechlessly to answer the phone.

Ning Yao quickly finished the plate of fried chicken in front of him and was about to smear the oil on his hands on Xin Cheng's expensive coat and drink some Coke, but was caught by Xin Cheng.

"Brother, I actually have something to ask...Brother, what are you doing?"

Ning Yao shyly retracted his hand, pretending to be nonchalant as he picked up a tissue, and put on a righteous expression: "What's bothering you? Big brother will take care of it for you."

Xin Cheng was not a talkative person, so he got straight to the point: "It's about Xu Sui."

"What's wrong with him?" Chun Yu Kong frowned and couldn't help but ask before Ning Yao opened his mouth. Chun Yu Kong had always been grateful to this little monster who saved his life with a cicada shell.

Xin Cheng stared at Chun Yu Kong, a little surprised: "Why... Oh! You are the partner of the eldest brother. Since you are an internal staff, you should have seen Xu Sui's information."

Chunyu Kong did not refute, nor did he bother to explain. He just used his eyes to urge the other party to get to the point.

"It's like this," Xin Cheng opened the photo album on his phone, "I know that the growth rate of supernatural creatures cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary humans, but Xu Sui seems to be growing a little too fast."

Chun Yukong took the phone from the other party, and his brows, which were originally slightly furrowed, were now tightly furrowed.

Ning Yao saw this and stretched his neck curiously: "What the hell?"

He snatched the phone and repeatedly confirmed in disbelief: "Who is this handsome guy?"

Xin Cheng covered his face and said, "That's it. It's only been a few months, but Xu Sui has grown from a little kid to this big. I haven't even had time to buy him all those cute children's clothes... Ahem, anyway, he looks more like a CEO than me now."

"When did you become the CEO?" Ning Yao threw the phone back to him in disgust.

Xin Cheng scratched his head: "Well, it's not a very important matter so I didn't tell everyone. My sister gave me a small company some time ago to kill time. No, it was for me to practice."

"You just said to kill time, right?"

"No, no, I take my work very seriously!"

Chun Yukong held a French fry in his mouth and expressionlessly exposed Xin Cheng's rhetoric of saving face: "If I remember correctly, it is working hours on a weekday. What is Mr. Xin doing?"

Xin Cheng didn't dare to respond, but just gently pushed Ning Yao: "Brother, you have to help us, is it really okay for Xu Sui to do this?"

Chun Yukong spoke again before Ning Yao: "Of course there is a problem. Since Xu Sui has awakened and transformed, he should have escaped the biological limitations of his original species. His lifespan and growth cycle should be calculated according to his cultivation progress, but no matter how you calculate it, he should not live shorter than his original body." Xin Cheng was anxious: "How is it related to lifespan? Isn't this just a child growing taller? Will it help if I stop giving him milk every day?"

Ning Yao grumbled as he gnawed on a chicken leg: "What first-grade student can draw a 1.8-meter-tall stick? Do you have any common sense about biology of a normal human being?"

Xin Cheng muttered softly: "But, but Xu Sui is not a normal person..."

Chun Yukong nodded and said, "Xu Sui is a seventeen-year-old cicada. Even if he hadn't awakened and transformed, as a small insect, he should have a lifespan of at least 17 years in the natural environment. Now that he has the basic blessing of cultivation, he should grow more slowly."

Seeing that Chunyu Kong's analysis was very clear and he seemed to have a lot of insights into all kinds of supernatural things, Xin Cheng quickly handed the squeezed ketchup to Chunyu Kong in a flattering manner: "Brother Kong."

"No, thank you. I'm a French fry fundamentalist." Chun Yukong didn't dip his food in sauce.

"What do you mean?" Xin Cheng was confused.

Ning Yao translated into Chinese: "He likes to eat plain French fries."

Chun Yukong continued, "Although it is still unclear what caused Xu Sui's accelerated growth, one thing is certain - this is definitely abnormal, and it should not be delayed too long. So my suggestion is to check Xu Sui as soon as possible. It happens that I know a lot about this, so I will shamelessly recommend myself."

Xin Cheng held Chunyu Kong's hand gratefully: "Thank you so much! Brother Kong, you are such a good person!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Let go!" Ning Yao shouted in dissatisfaction.

Chun Yukong pulled his hand back and said calmly: "No need to thank me, I am just repaying my karma."

"What cause and effect?" Xin Cheng was curious.

"Stop asking questions!" Ning Yao interrupted him with a curse, "There's no time to lose, let's go now."

Xin Cheng didn't waste any more time. He immediately stood up and called Assistant Tang to pack the fried chicken. Then they all got into a low-key extended Lincoln and left quickly.

The scenery outside the car window was rapidly receding. Chun Yukong leaned against the window sill and looked out, as if he was clearing his mind. Then, he rolled down the window with a grim look on his face.

"Are you carsick?" Ning Yao asked with concern.

"No," Chunyu gave him a blank look, "You made the car stink."

“How can fried chicken stink?”

"That's because you have a foul mouth."

Ning Yao angrily slapped the fried chicken on Xin Cheng's head: "Where did you buy this stinky fried chicken!"

Assistant Tang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, coughed softly and said, "We're here."

Xin Cheng rolled and crawled out of the car, brushing off the oil residue on his body: "Where does it stink? It smells so good."

Assistant Tang looked helplessly between Ning Yao and his young boss Xin. After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned to Chun Yukong and said, "Since Xu Sui's current physical condition is no longer suitable for public appearances, we have no choice but to arrange for him to take a leave of absence. He should be in the room upstairs now. I'll take you upstairs."
