Eternal Sword

Chapter 304 Secret
Chen Tang called Ye Yushi over, and not long after, Wu Ji brought four dishes and Liu Shou brought a jar of wine to the room.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Liu Shou bowed and left the room with a smile.

There were four dishes, three hot dishes and one cold dish, a combination of meat and vegetables, and some pastries and fruits were also provided.

There are fresh fish slices cut into thin slices and eaten with sauce, fresh shrimps coated with flour and fried until crispy, large pieces of cooked beef on a large plate, and a pot of stewed soup with various ingredients...

Ye Yushi had not eaten much since he came to Hermit Island, let alone such a sumptuous meal.

Chen Tang was already starving.

He called Ye Yushi over, intending to chat with her about a "long story" while eating.

But once he started eating, his mouth was so full that he had no time to talk.

Even though Ye Yushi was extremely hungry, he was still very polite when eating, tasting each dish slowly and chewing it thoroughly.

Chen Tang didn't care about that. He ate like a whirlwind, as vigorous as a tiger, drinking wine and eating big chunks of meat, enjoying himself very much.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yushi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

If it were the young talents and heroes of Nanxia, ​​they would always be more restrained in front of her.

Maybe it's because he's a little reserved, or maybe it's to leave a good impression. Even if he's pretending, he has to be more polite.

This was the first time she had seen Chen Tang eat so genuinely and wildly.

But precisely because of this, Ye Yushi felt relaxed and comfortable when she was with him.

She didn't eat much and was full quickly.

Chen Tang ate up all the rest, not even the soup was left.

Chen Tang trained his body and strengthened his internal organs, so he had a particularly high demand for fine food and drink, and his appetite far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In fact, these four dishes taste bland and unremarkable, but the ingredients are very fresh.

At any rate, it was better than the raw fish he'd been eating at sea for three months.

After having a full meal and a drink, Chen Tang leaned lazily in the chair, his eyes half open and half closed, his belly slightly bulging, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Ye Yushi glanced at him and said, "Brother Chen has a master's degree, which is the best I have ever seen in my life. Others are far inferior to you."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang became interested, sat up, and asked curiously, "Which aspect?"

Just by eating a meal, you discovered his good qualities?
Ye Yushi said: "Brother Chen is the person who enjoys eating the most among all the people I have ever met."

Chen Tang: “…”

Listen, does this sound like a compliment?
But if you think about it carefully, you can't find any problem...

Seeing Chen Tang, who was so excited just now but suddenly became speechless and frustrated, Ye Yushi couldn't help but smile.

Chen Tang also smiled and said, "Want to learn? I can teach you."

“Is there a technique for eating?”

Ye Yushi was a little curious.

"of course."

Chen Tang said seriously, "For example, when two people are eating, they must fight for food, so that the food will taste especially delicious. And the big piece of beef just now cannot be picked up with chopsticks, it must be eaten with hands to taste good. Roast chicken and roast duck are only delicious if the meat is torn off by hand."

"You should smack your lips when eating, and slurp when drinking. When you are happy after drinking, you should shake your legs and lift your feet up and put them on the chair. Try it next time..."

In the first half, Ye Yushi listened very carefully and felt that what Chen Tang said seemed to make sense.

But later on, the more I listened, the more something seemed wrong.

"Nonsense."

Ye Yushi snorted softly.

Chen Tang sighed and said with emotion: "Even fairies who have been banished to the human world will make fun of ordinary people like me." Ye Yushi said: "I am not a fairy at all. It is just a name given by the people in the martial arts world. Just like your lion-tiger arhat, you are not an arhat either."

Chen Tang said: "But from what you said, Luohan and Fairy are quite a good match, both of them are gods from heaven."

Ye Yushi remained silent.

Chen Tang coughed lightly, stopped talking, and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, why did you come here?"

Ye Yushi asked: "Do you still remember the Xuantian Temple Master Meng Qi?"

"Wushan Ghost Mother?"

Chen Tang said.

Ye Yushi nodded and said, "At that time, Meng Qi used the placenta of a pregnant girl to practice evil magic, but the baby she gave birth to disappeared, and there was no trace of the body."

"Later, I tracked down a clue and found that the babies were adopted on a cargo ship. There were also cases of missing babies in various places in Nanxia."

"I wanted to explore the secrets behind this, so I hid in a cargo ship and came all the way to the Hermit Island."

Chen Tang's mind moved, and he asked, "These babies were sent to the Hermit Continent and then trained to become Hermit assassins?"

"good."

Ye Yushi said: "I later learned that these babies were trained in the Hermit Continent since they were young. They had no idea of ​​their origins and were trained to be cold-blooded and ruthless killers."

"And these people will be sent back to Nanxia. It involves an extremely secret mission. I haven't found out the specific information yet."

Chen Tang asked: "So, Hermit Continent is connected to Qian Country and Southern Xia's Xuantian Sect?"

"should be."

Ye Yushi said: "The cargo ship handover on the Hermit Island was handled by an elder. After I landed on the island, my whereabouts were exposed and the Elder Council issued a bounty."

"Presbyterian?"

Chen Tang asked.

Ye Yushi said: "In the world of hermits, the Hidden Sect has the highest status. It has a Council of Elders composed of five elders, each of whom controls a force. There are twelve cities in the Hermit Continent, and twelve Shadow Towers, with a total of twelve tower masters."

"Shangguan Caiyun is one of them."

Shangguan Caiyun is Yunniang.

Chen Tang asked again: "In other words, the status of the Council of Elders is higher than that of the Shadow Building?"

"Nominally."

Ye Yushi said: "But I heard that the strength of Shadow Building should not be underestimated. It almost controls all the information and resources of the hermit. Unless there are special circumstances, if the Elders want to mobilize the hermit, they must issue a reward through Shadow Building."

"The Council of Elders has its own guards. Unlike the Hermits, these guards are few in number, but each one is above the fifth rank and has the finest armor."

"I once encountered two guards with fourth-grade cultivation. They were indeed difficult to deal with. If I hadn't had the Night Rain Sword in my hand, I would have avoided them."

In this case, whether they were to challenge the Elders' Council or the Shadow Building, the two of them would not stand a chance of winning.

I still have to find a chance to leave Hermit Island.

Chen Tang asked: "After earning enough hidden coins, can we hire a boat from Yingzilou and go to Shenzhou?"

"No."

Ye Yushi said: "All ships are under the control of the Council of Elders. If you want to leave the island, you have to find another way."

Chen Tang suddenly thought of the cargo ship docked at the port.

At that time, you can take this cargo ship to Tianhu Island and make plans.

Chen Tang said: "You should recover first. When the poison is cured and your injuries are healed, we will find a chance to leave."

Ye Yushi was seriously injured and Chen Tang was unable to protect him.

Only when she recovers will they have the chance to leave the island.
