After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 53 What’s the intention?

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted, "Boss, I'll treat this old man to a bowl of noodles, let him sit down!"

As soon as Xie Chen opened his mouth, the boss was not happy, but he was a coward if he didn't make money.

A dozen dollars is still money, so the boss endured his displeasure and tacitly allowed the old man to sit in the store for a while.

The old man glanced at Xie Chen, then sat down opposite Xie Chen, carrying a worn canvas bag.

"Thank you, young man!" The old man looked at Xie Chen deeply and smiled naively.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Old man, don't be so polite. Everyone has difficulties sometimes."

The old man nodded, with an admiring look on his face, "It's rare that a young man can maintain a pure heart despite his unhappy life."

As the old man spoke, Xie Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. From the time when the shop assistant expelled the old man just now and the old man's quick response to now revealing his true identity in one sentence, all this seemed to tell Xie Chen that the old man in front of him was not simple.

Xie Chen did not answer, but just looked at the old man with a puzzled look, then quietly lowered his head to eat noodles.

No matter who the other person is or where he comes from, since he is the one who is actively approaching him, he will definitely reveal more clues.

Xie Chen remained silent, but the old man's eyes would fall on Xie Chen from time to time.

The look was filled with scrutiny, inquiry, and a subtle hint of joy at having seen a prey.

Soon, the old man's face came up.

The old man took a pair of disposable chopsticks, broke them apart, and imitated Xie Chen, adding chili oil and vinegar, stirring the noodles to bring out the fragrance, and then devoured them.

Neither the old nor the young spoke a word, they just focused on eating noodles.

After finishing the noodles, the old man looked at Xie Chen deeply and said, "Young man, you treated me to a bowl of noodles, and I have nothing to repay you. How about you recognize me as your master?"

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person steadily, "What can you teach me?"

The tone was somewhat nonchalant and casual.

"I can teach you a lot." The old man smiled proudly, stared at Xie Chen mysteriously, and whispered, "For example, you are a person who died once."

When the old man said this, Xie Chen's eyes suddenly tightened.

He was reborn, and no one except himself should know about this.

But now, the old man in front of him actually saw through his true colors at a glance?
"Don't be afraid, I have no ill will towards you." The old man whispered again, "This is not a place to talk, let's go out for a walk?"

Xie Chen did not refuse.

After a brief contact, the old man showed off several of his skills.

If the other person is really capable, he would be happy to have him as a cheap master.

An old man and a young boy walked out of the noodle shop and found a nearby park.

Sitting under the shade of a tree in the park, Xie Chen finally expressed his doubts, "Why me?"

If the old man is a person with real skills, he will definitely not have trouble finding apprentices.

But it was a bit ridiculous that the other party wanted to accept me as his disciple just because I treated him to a bowl of noodles.

The old man looked at Xie Chen with a smile, "My conditions for accepting a disciple are extremely harsh. First, the character must be good; second, the IQ must be high; third... he must have died once."

After hearing the old man's last condition, Xie Chen's eyes suddenly became somewhat complicated and incomprehensible.

"Someone who died once?" Xie Chen sneered, "How can you tell that I've died once?"

The old man's expression gradually became serious. "Observe the yin and yang, predict the fate, and know the future. This is the secret of heaven." "If you worship me as your teacher, I will tell you." A hint of expectation appeared on the old man's sloppy face.

The old man in front of him was very strange, and Xie Chen was still on guard. "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in becoming your disciple."

After saying that, Xie Chen stood up and was about to leave.

When the old man saw Xie Chen was about to leave, he immediately became anxious, "Young man! If you leave here today, disaster will befall you soon!"

Xie Chen paused, looked deeply at the old man, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is a disaster coming?"

The old man was afraid that Xie Chen would not believe him, so he quickly explained, "Young man, I was able to find you because of fate. You becoming my disciple is a good thing for both you and me."

Xie Chen didn't say anything, and his eyes looking at the old man were still full of deep caution.

The old man sighed helplessly and pointed at a middle-aged man sitting on a park bench not far away. "This man is in debt. He will die in a disaster in half an hour."

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes again. Was he spending a huge amount of money just to fool him?

Another life is going to be lost?
Xie Chen didn't leave, and simply sat on the ground side by side with the old man, "Old man, I believe in you and am willing to take you as my master."

Xie Chen had an unpredictable smile on his face, "That person doesn't have to die."

The old man looked at Xie Chen with a strange expression, "Do you think I'm fooling you?"

Xie Chen didn't say anything, but the expression on his face said it all.

The old man glared at Xie Chen angrily and said, "That man deserves to die. It is his fate to suffer a disaster. I can't change it."

Maybe he was too angry, the old man's beard curled up and looked a little funny.

Xie Chen looked at the old man calmly without saying anything else. Instead, he took out his cell phone and started browsing.

Time passed minute by minute, and the middle-aged man on the bench over there stood up.

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and his mind moved slightly.

Is this man really going to die?

Just as Xie Chen had this thought, a huge eagle swooped down from the sky, and its two sharp claws pierced the middle-aged man's eyes!

The middle-aged man was caught off guard, his body subconsciously tilted, and he immediately rolled down the slope under his feet!
The eagle was chasing him relentlessly. The middle-aged man protected his head in panic. After a lot of bumps and tossing, he fell into the artificial lake at the bottom of the slope with a splash!

There weren't many people in the park at this time.

The moment the man fell into the lake, Xie Chenteng stood up quickly.

Although he felt that the old man was lying to him, there was still a life in front of him. Seeing the other person die in front of him, Xie Chen couldn't remain indifferent.

Xie Chen took a few quick steps to the lakeside, but before he could take the next step, he saw the man sink to the bottom of the lake and disappeared completely.

Xie Chen was stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face, and turned to look at the slovenly old man.

"Don't look at me like that." The old man shrugged. "Everyone has his own destiny. He was supposed to die like this today. He and I have no relationship at all. I have no reason to sacrifice my lifespan for a stranger and help him change his fate."

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and looked towards the lake.

The artificial lake was not very large, and if the man was acting with the old man, he would only have to hold his breath in the lake for a few minutes at most.

After a few minutes, you can't help but climb ashore.

But if the man really died, there would be no possibility of climbing ashore.

I saw a friend leave a message saying that he doesn't want the BUFF to be turned up, so I want to hear your opinions here. Should we add a BUFF to the male protagonist? These two chapters will be like this for now, and we will decide whether to make subsequent changes based on your comments. Thank you for your support~~
