My whole family cultivated immortality without telling me

Chapter 542: It’s just a casual dish, how can it compare to Bai Xiaolian’s fried rice?
"Master, this is absolutely not possible. I don't want to retire!"

"Uncle Zhou, whose housekeeper is in his seventies or eighties?"

"Woo woo, it turns out that the young master dislikes, dislikes this old slave..."

"You think too much. You should do what you should do at your age. Retirement is retirement. The Shen family is Uncle Zhou's home. I won't agree to your leaving even if you want to."

"Woo woo, this old slave has become an old slave who only eats and waits for death..."

"Uncle Zhou, you... OK, OK, you seem to be in good spirits. Please help me with whatever you can do... Eh? You are not the housekeeper, so this title is not legitimate..."

"Wow... This old slave must have made a big mistake..."

Shen Qingyun looked in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Baiyi said coquettishly, "Master, please don't let Uncle Zhou retire."

"What a joke," Shen Qingyun said with a straight face, "The contract has been sent to the business. Besides, how can I, a young master, go back on my word?"

Yun Qianqian said happily: "No problem, I am the eldest daughter of the Yun family, I agree!"

"Mother is mighty!" Shen Qingyun turned his eyes and looked at Uncle Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, it's hard to undo what has been done. How about you just bear the grievance?"

Zhou Bo wiped his tears and sobbed, "Young Master, this old slave, this old slave will never retire!"

"Master," Bai Yi said hurriedly, "You always have a lot of ideas. You must have a solution."

Shen Qingyun said in embarrassment: "If you want to find a way... there really is one."

Zhou Bo was overjoyed: "Master!"

"But you have to listen to the master from now on!"

"This old slave will follow the young master's lead!"

Shen Qingyun then narrowed his eyes in smile, and then spoke seriously again.

"Retirement is a must, and the rules cannot be abolished, but... ahem, considering that Butler Zhou Bo is extremely experienced and familiar with everything about the Shen family, and in order to alleviate the shortage of management positions in the Shen family, now... mother?"

Yun Qianqian was very excited and waved her hand: "You have full authority."

"okay!"

Shen Qingyun clapped his hands, and three more letters of appointment appeared in his hand. He handed them to Zhou Bo with a smile.

"We are now rehiring Zhou Bozhong as the steward of the Shen Mansion. All benefits will be doubled. You must follow the young master's orders. If you violate the rules, the employment agreement will be terminated immediately. There are three copies of this agreement. Zhou Bo, please sign it."

Uncle Zhou looked down at the re-employment documents, his face full of bitterness.

"Haha," Shen Qingyun held Zhou Bo's dry hand, and sighed after laughing, "To put it bluntly, Zhou Bo is like a toast and a punishment. If you had listened to the young master earlier, would the young master have used a trick?"

Baiyi giggled.

After dealing with the old housekeeper at home, Shen Qingyun felt a lot more relaxed. He went out happily and headed straight for the competition venue.

"Let me see Uncle Zhou's life span in a few days..."

He was very familiar with Qingwan Shouwu and even stayed up all night.

Taking into account the differences between the two methods, he wanted to determine whether Zhou Bo's increased lifespan was enough for five years.

"Qingwan Shouwu, ah..."

Along the way, Shen Qingyun had mixed feelings.

The last time he went into the Imperial Study to advise on Elderly Day, he wanted to leave a tail so that if something went wrong, he could ask for an excuse from His Majesty.

"Who knew that His Majesty would follow the tail and find the head..."

Not only did he find the answer, but he also helped him get the job done.

"I owe you a huge favor this time."

Qingwan and Shouwu are trivial matters.

He shamelessly begged everyone for help, and he believed that he had obtained the three or two plants of Qingwan Shouwu by begging.

However, the emperor granted special permission to give the extremely precious longevity medicine to the dying butler...

"This is probably the first time since the Qin Wu Dynasty, thousands of years ago."

As for what was going on behind the scenes, he didn't want to think about it at all.

To put it bluntly, no matter what Qin Moju is thinking, since he has put so much effort into making his wish come true, there is nothing else worth thinking about.

He walked all the way to the stadium, looked up at the statue, smiled and bowed.

Gymnastics arena.

The children had already finished the competition and came to cheer Brother Shen up.

The method...

Mainly by belittling other players and elevating Brother Shen.

"It's getting late, everyone go home early."

"How can you say that? The most important thing is participation. Brother Shen can't just take the first place without even competing, right?"

"Yes, although it is well-deserved, it is also easy to attract haters..."

"Everyone, cheer up, even if you want to make up the numbers, you must have the manners to make up the numbers!"

……

They also know how to easily find villains for me!
Shen Qingyun had a blank expression on his face and stared intently, pretending not to hear.

But I can't stand the chatter from others.

Passerby.

"Dude, who is Brother Shen?"

"I don't know."

"Not a condemned person?"

"I'm from Jiangzhou."

"Wow, this is the richest man's hometown. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

Shen Qingyun was about to bow when the referee on the stage called his name.

"Yes, yes, here I come."

Under the suspicious gaze of Passerby A, he touched his nose and went on stage.

"Come on, Brother Shen!"

"We've only made it to the top 32, why are you asking Brother Shen to cheer us on?"

"I am superficial, Brother Shen, just be a little cautious!"

……

After the four kids made such a fuss, Shen Qingyun immediately became the Brother Shen who was pointed at by everyone.

"This must be the legendary bad friend..."

I didn't expect that I, who have always been kind to others, would have such a blessing.

Shen Qingyun raised his hand with some resentment.

"Report to the referee, someone is talking nonsense and affecting the performance of the players."

The four did not expect Brother Shen to play by his own rules.

He kept calling out for help as eight people grabbed his arms and took him away.

"Brother Shen, I am gone, but my heart is here, cheering for you!"

"Eh? I'm familiar with this. We don't know where to go, but Brother Shen is still smiling like a spring breeze, right?"

"Brother Shen, let's fight quickly and make a quick decision..."

……

With the help of four colleagues, Shen Qingyun entered the top 32 with the 32nd ranking.

"Oh my God!"

With a secret roar, he hurried out of the crowd and tried to escape, but ended up running into Niu Weiwu again.

"Master Niu?"

Although Niu Weiwu stopped wiping his tears, there were traces of tears and a smile remained on his face.

Shen Qingyun knew at a glance that this guy had seen it all from beginning to end.

"Ahem, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of Master Niu."

"No, no, it's not that Brother Shen is not strong enough, it's really those four..." Niu Weiwu paused, "They have just been arrested and taken to the government office. Brother Shen must be killed...Okay, behead him immediately!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, why is he being executed immediately?"

"Oh, I see from the shape of Shen Gegang's lips that he is about to utter the word death!"

With such good eyesight, you deserve to be a fourth-rank official!
Shen Qingyun laughed and said, "Mr. Niu is really good at joking... What do you want to talk to me about?"

The two walked and talked.

Niu Weiwu told him what Shen Qingyun had asked him to do that morning.

"Those two were frontier soldiers who had been stationed on the border for more than 40 years. They returned home with serious injuries and never married..."

They are talking about the Deaf Prince and Xia Youzhu.

Shen Qingyun nodded, feeling a little emotional.

"If I hadn't checked, I would have really thought they were scammers."

Niu Weiwu was about to make a joke when he was suddenly stunned and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother Shen's actions must have a deep meaning."

It seems that they are complaining that the two are liars, but in fact...

"Weiwu understands," Niu Weiwu bowed to Shen Qingyun and said seriously, "I will write to the prefect later. The management of veterans after they return home must be strengthened and improved."

Watching Niu Weiwu go away, Shen Qingyun touched his nose in disappointment.

"I don't know Mr. Niu's comprehension, but his reading comprehension score is definitely perfect!"

When he reached the spiritual consciousness arena, he asked about the battle situation of the children's group.

"Daoyou, is this even necessary to ask?"

"How can Qin Wu, the giant baby, be a match for Chen Liu!"

“Even if Chen Liu lets him use both his hands and feet!”

"But it's not completely useless. Liu's will to fight again and again despite repeated failures is still worthy of recognition."

……

Shen Qingyun stroked his chin and began to observe and move among the crowd.

After a while, he finally waited for it.

"Hey, fellow Taoist..."

"What disc?"

"Disc...what disc?" The monk who blocked the way glanced at Shen Qingyun with some vigilance.

Shen Qingyun hurriedly said: "Mistake, I bet on Liu... Experience, one hundred spirit stones."

"You are quite understanding, fellow Daoist." The young cultivator gave him a meaningful look, but shook his head and said, "I don't accept spirit stones, I only want gold and silver."

Shen Qingyun frowned and said, "Just kidding..."

"You've just come to Qinwu, right? You'll understand after a while, right?"

"Have."

"Let me make it clear first. It must be gold and silver officially approved by Qin Wu..."

When the monk saw Shen Qingyun take out a crumpled ten-liang gold note, his eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist, you have some tricks up your sleeve." He took the gold note and handed over a jade talisman. "Liu Jing will pay you ten times the amount. Tomorrow we will have the finals of the Spiritual Sense Control. You will redeem the prize after the game. There will be no repetition!"

Shen Qingyun nodded and left.

The monk was overjoyed. He rubbed the gold bill for a while and put it in his arms. Just as he turned around, three monks of the third realm blocked his way. His expression suddenly changed.

"Everyone..."

"You are suspected of illegal gambling by opening the market outside the venue without permission. Please come with us."

From afar, they saw the monk walking and pointing at his companions, and Hong Xinu looked at Bai Xiaolian.

"Xiao Lian, what do you think?"

Bai Xiaolian pondered for a long time, shook her head and said, "I don't understand, please teach me, Master."

Hong Xi Nu was silent for a while: "It's not important... Are you ready for a game tonight?"

"Master, don't worry. Xiaolian has a plan."

Hong Xinu nodded and left on her own, thinking as she walked...

"What's the meaning of Shen Qingyun's final fishing plan?"

As soon as he came out of the arena, Shen Qingyun saw Huo Xiu from afar and hurried over.

"grown ups……"

Hearing Shen Qingyun's voice, Huo Xiu shuddered, and his old legs left a shadow.

Shen Qingyun was startled.

"My Lord, do you want to test my cultivation?"

Chase!
"grown ups……"

Huo Xiu ran and turned back to complain: "Why are you following me? Stay away from me!"

"Sir, I am a little confused..."

You can sell a pot of pickled fish for three taels, and I still don’t understand!

Of course, he could still bear three or two...

"Why is there no purchase limit on the pickled fish in your store?" Shen Qingyun was stunned and said, "Sir, you can have as much of that stuff as you want."

Huo Xiu felt lost and slowly stopped.

"You, Xiao Shen, have gotten what you wanted, and I have given away all my wealth..."

Shen Qingyun had long guessed that Huo Xiu knew about Qingwan Shouwu, and when he heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty is happy and wants to eat fish..."

Shen Qingyun pursed his lips, and hurriedly bowed to the palace, saying gratefully: "When I am free, I will personally go to the palace and prepare a fish feast for Your Majesty!"

"Forget about the fish," Huo Xiu turned to Shen Qingyun and sighed, "Don't mention this matter in front of His Majesty. Just keep it in mind and don't think too much about it."

"My subordinate understands."

"Besides..." Huo Xiu's mood changed very quickly, and he said with great sorrow, "Xuan Xingxing, you are so willing to give me a hundred years of extra life!"

Shen Qingyun touched his nose, did not explain, and said embarrassedly: "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."

"Next time...hiss!" Huo Xiu glared, "Aren't you thinking about five years later..."

Shen Qingyun said seriously: "My philosophy has always been to live in the present. What happens five years from now... will be taken care of by Shen Qingyun five years from now."

Huo Xiu gritted his teeth and praised: "You can tell the difference."

The two walked and talked.

When he returned to the company, Huo Xiu mentioned again the matter of arresting the child kidnapping suspect.

"Sir, I am not hiding, but..."

Huo Xiu nodded and said, "I understand. I will do my best. If I can help the envoy of the clan, it will be good for everyone."

Shen Qingyun cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Returning to the public house, he sat down and pondered.

He figured it all out yesterday.

Although the circumstances of the crime were unknown, the situation was obvious.

"If we can capture Senior Li and let him take notice of us and claim to be the culprit, it will be a great benefit to the eight distinguished guests..."

But the highest cultivation level of the eight people was only at the fourth level, so it was almost impossible for them to capture the soul in Chen Liu's body.

The best solution is naturally cooperation among all parties.

Qin Wu was spared the danger of kidnapping children, and the various sects and the Qingtian Sect... the eight outer disciples became closer, and the eight people would definitely receive rewards that outsiders could not understand.

"So, you guys don't care about the consequences at all..."

He could hear this from Huo Xiu's tone.

As time passed, Shen Qingyun gradually came up with some ideas, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Liu?"

Liu Gaosheng pulled Shen Qingyun and walked out: "The final battle is just around the corner, Brother Shen, can you still sit still?"

Whatever is the final decision...

Shen Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Liu, Xiaobai...is about to leave."

Liu Gaosheng was startled: "What do you mean?"

"It means... we're breaking up."

So... it means that my ultimate move is going to be wasted?
Liu Gaosheng's face changed and he walked faster.

"Then we must hurry up, brothers, let's go!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Liu, it's not necessary, it's not necessary..."

sunset.

Liu Mansion.

Shen Qingyun accompanied Bai Xiaolian and strolled on the bridge over the pond.

"Are Liu Gaosheng and that senior a couple?"

Shen Qingyun smiled and said, "We will be married soon."

"They are a perfect match."

"Of course, ahem..." Shen Qingyun thought for a moment, "Xiao Bai, you also know that Brother Liu is just a child..."

Bai Xiaolian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I know."

"Haha, that's good, that's good, Xiaobai is still considerate..."

Thoughtful?

If it were before, Bai Xiaolian would be secretly happy.

After confirming Shen Qingyun's thoughts, she felt distressed.

"His arrogance comes from his bones, so even though he looks down on me, he is not indifferent to me..."

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth secretly, and the three words "Tianxuan Sect" were all in her mind.

You look down on Bai Xiaolian from Lanlanjian, but you don't know...

"Do you like the White Lotus Saint of the Tianxuan Sect?"

Shen Qingyun was walking with Bai Xiaolian when he suddenly felt the domineering aura of Bai Xiaolian beside him.

"Xiaobai, you..."

"Master Shen!" Sister Ge came over quickly and said respectfully, "Master said everything is ready."

"Excuse me, Sister Ge," Shen Qingyun looked at Bai Xiaolian and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, show us your talent!"

The kitchen of Liu Mansion.

Bai Xiaolian looked around and was quite satisfied.

I approached the stove and glanced at the chopping board, and saw four eggs still spinning.

"Liu... Gaosheng, is this what you call abundant food?"

Liu Gaosheng said calmly: "High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking. If you can cook it, do it. If you can't, just leave!"

Bai Xiaolian looked at Liu Gaosheng, nodded and smiled, "That's right."

"Hahaha, then I'll wait and see!"

Liu Gaosheng bowed and ran to the pavilion.

"Brother Liu, Elder Hua is not coming?"

Liu Gaosheng had just sat down when his excited face suddenly froze when he heard the words. He said angrily, "Yueyue said she felt a little uncomfortable..."

"You are lying with your eyes open," Du Kui said with a smile, "I saw it clearly just now. Sister Hua didn't even look at you the whole time. You must have offended Sister Hua."

Tuoba Qian quickly poked his brother.

"Brother, you are an experienced person, tell Brother Liu about it."

Tuoba Tian nodded and advised: "I'm an experienced person. Women, if they don't obey, just beat them..."

"Hey, hey, hey," Shen Qingyun quickly covered his mouth, "Brother Tuoba, we need to look at the problem dialectically."

Liu Gaosheng said stubbornly: "You have tried this method."

"How's the effect?"

"It's useless..."

"Wait!" Du Kui asked suspiciously, "You dare to hit Hua... Eh? I'm afraid it wasn't Sister Hua who hit you?"

"Du Kui, you are talking nonsense!"

"I'll go ask Sister Hua..."

"Stop right there," Liu Gaosheng glared, "Brother Shen is facing a critical situation, and you want to be a deserter?"

It’s actually nothing serious for me, Du Kui, go ahead and ask for the details!

Before Shen Qingyun could even wink, Du Kui sat down again and said with a smile, "It's not too late to ask after you've finished your important task... Liu Jingli, you won't run faster than me after dinner, right?"

"What a joke... Eh? She's here!"

The five people turned their heads and saw Bai Xiaolian walking towards them with a tray in her hands.

Shen Qingyun sniffed lightly and praised: "Egg fried rice? The aroma of this pan alone is at the master level... Unfortunately, I don't like eating eggs."

Egg fried rice?
Although it wasn’t cooked by Liu Gaosheng himself, but... it’s an egg from the Liu family!

Du Kui and the other two felt their scalps tingling, and said in unison: "We don't like it either."

"You have to eat even if you don't want to!" Liu Gaosheng said in a low voice, "I will go through fire and water for Brother Shen, and I won't hesitate!"

Shen Qingyun's eyes were filled with tears: "Brother Liu..."

It wouldn't have mattered if Liu Gaosheng hadn't said anything, but after he said it, Du Kui and the other two became even more suspicious that there was something wrong with the egg.

"This is a damn conspiracy!"

"Let me think about it. I've eaten Brother Liu's eggs before. Now when the three of us saw Bai Xiaolian's egg fried rice, we all looked terrified... Hiss, Brother Liu even took our expressions into account?"

"After eating Bai Xiaolian's egg fried rice, won't the three of us have to poop for a long time again?"

"Then Liu Gaosheng spoke righteously and scolded Bai Xiaolian. Bai Xiaolian left in shame, and Brother Shen won a great victory!"

"Stop stroking him. The more you stroke him, the less human Brother Liu seems. I just want to ask, do you want to eat it?"

……

Bang.

Bai Xiaolian placed a bowl of egg fried rice on the stone table, then waved her hand again and six sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed in front of her.

"Excuse me for showing off," she served Shen Qingyun half a bowl, "Qingyun, would you like to try it?"

"Brother Shen never eats eggs!" Liu Gaosheng finished speaking, and then filled Du Kui and his three children's bowls and pressed them tightly, "Eat!"

Before the three of them even picked up their chopsticks, they already had a look of eating shit on their faces.

Bai Xiaolian's smile faded: "What do you three mean?"

Du Kui and Tuoba Tian gritted their teeth... and looked towards Tuoba Qian in the middle.

Tuoba Qian shuddered.

"Is it my turn?"

Okay, everything is for Brother Shen!
He gritted his teeth, turned his head, closed his eyes, and reached out for the rice.

Bai Xiaolian's eyebrows jumped: "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

You woman, you know nothing. You are still smiling even after being sold out!
Tuoba Qian scooped up a spoonful with difficulty, and lingered it around his lips seven or eight times without being able to put it into his mouth.

Shen Qingyun couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and hurriedly said: "If Brother Tuoba doesn't like it, don't force it..."

"I eat!"

After taking a spoonful of the food into his mouth, without even chewing it, Tuoba Qian started to roll his eyes and shiver.

It’s our turn!
Du Kui and Tuoba Tian's faces changed drastically, and they choked and wailed!
"My dear brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Tuoba Qian, please don't die..."

Even though she had foreseen this and even planned to take advantage of the situation, Bai Xiaolian couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Shen Qingyun said hurriedly: "Forget it, forget it, I'll order some takeout..."

"Why order takeout?" Liu Gaosheng said calmly, "I'll just make a few simple dishes."

After he finished speaking, he stood up.

The moment he stood up, Liu Gaosheng turned into Huo Fengxian, who wore a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red cotton flower robe on his body, a chain armor with a beast face and a head-swallowing armor, and a delicate lion belt around his waist.

Even the speed of time changed. Every step and every swing of Liu Gaosheng's arms became slow motion.

Everyone was stunned.

"Brother Liu, all you need is a special BGM to ascend to the heavens, right?"

It was only a distance of ten or so feet, but Liu Gaosheng walked in slow motion for the time it took to cover an incense stick.

The food was served quickly.

After half a stick of incense.

Shen Qingyun stared down and glanced at the table...

"Stir-fried kidney, cumin rabbit kidney, sour soup kidney slices, dry-fried kidney cubes... Brother Liu, is this a sumptuous meal?"

Du Kui opened his mouth but said nothing.

Tuoba Tianxi said: "It is indeed rich, and they are all... Brother Shen's favorite dishes!"

Ok?
Shen Qingyun glared at Tuoba Tian.

"Ah," Liu Gaosheng sighed, "It's just something I made casually, how can it compare to Bai Xiaolian's egg fried rice?"

Bang!
Bai Xiaolian slammed the table and stood up: "Liu Gaosheng, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

Are you falling out now?
Shen Qingyun stood up and said, "Xiaobai, Brother Liu has nothing else to say..."

"Hmph, just go with them!"

Bai Xiaolian dodged and disappeared.

Does this work too?
Shen Qingyun was stunned, and four hands stretched out in front of him.

"Brother Shen!"

"It's done!"

"Hahaha, a toad wants to eat swan flesh... is she worthy?"

"Brother Shen, I finally did what I promised you, woo woo..."

……

clap clap clap!
Suddenly, the back garden of the Liu Mansion was filled with the sound of clapping for friendship.
