"You will have to congratulate Teacher Dong together with us later, remember?" Gu Yueyan was very worried and reminded Lin Xianyu again in the elevator.
Lin Xianyu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've remembered it and will definitely be in sync with you guys!"
Gu Yueyan still felt a little uneasy, but now they had arrived at Dong Chengling's home, so she had no choice but to ring the doorbell and go in.
It was Ren Suo who opened the door. After the four of them greeted Ren Suo, they entered the room and immediately bowed to Dong Chengling to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Master Dong!"
Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, Lin Xianyu, and Qin Lian are all Dong Chengling's students, and they have been taken care of by Dong Chengling. This time, Dong Chengling was promoted to the fourth level and invited them to the celebration banquet. It is reasonable for them to congratulate Dong Chengling seriously - Dong Chengling probably won't care, but they don't even have a gift (and they can't buy one for the time being), so their attitude naturally has to be correct.
But Gu Yueyan immediately noticed that Lin Xianyu did not move. He turned around and saw Lin Xianyu looking at the dishes on the table with saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth. He slapped her butt hard, and Lin Xianyu then bowed to congratulate him.
Dong Chengling accepted their congratulations calmly and said, "Thank you, please sit down. This is not the first time we have a meal together."
Lin Xianyu immediately sat down and picked up the chopsticks: "Teacher, the dishes you cook are getting more and more delicious. Whoever marries you will be blessed."
"Really?" Dong Chengling walked into the kitchen with a smile. Lin Xianyu's praise seemed to make her even happier than congratulating her on her promotion to the fourth level.
Gu Yueyan poked Lin Xianyu's hand and said, "We're not all here yet, don't rush to eat!"
Lin Xianyu muttered, "I didn't eat it, I just picked it up pretending to use chopsticks to bring the fragrance closer...Xiaojiu, you can't eat until everyone is here!"
While Xiaojiu and Lin Xianyu were confronting each other, other guests arrived one after another.
Zhao Huo and Bai Ji came over together, and they seemed to have just finished class.
"I also need to work hard to cultivate. I can't let you, Cheng Ling, leave me too far behind." Bai Ji said with a smile, "I can't sit still in the position of the number one person in Tianlian now."
Dong Chengling shook his head: "In terms of fighting ability, Teacher Bai, you are still better than me. In terms of talent, Teacher Bai is not inferior to me. You just need to work harder and you will catch up with me soon."
Ren Suo chimed in, "That's right, Bai Ji, don't get too obsessed with beauty. You'll be able to advance to the fourth level soon."
At this time, Bai Ji and Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo at the same time, with a strange look in their eyes.
Zhao Huo coughed twice, and before he could speak, Ren Suo said, "Okay, I know you've reached the third level, let's eat some boiled chicken."
Ding Dong.
The doorbell rang and Ren Suo went to open the door.
"Good evening, how are you, Suozi?"
Qiao Muyi greeted Ren Suo, still smiling and wearing casual clothes, just like usual.
After she came in, she also congratulated Dong Chengling. Now that everyone was present, they officially picked up their chopsticks. Lin Xianyu and Xiao Jiu were impatient and their chopsticks were flying like rain. Qiao Muyi and Bai Ji started a veiled exchange of words. Qin Lian and Gu Yueyan asked Dong Chengling about his cultivation. Ren Xingmei occasionally picked up food for her brother. Ren Suo and Zhao Huo chatted while eating...
Ren Suo was already very accustomed to such large gatherings with many people - especially since everyone else at the table except Zhao Huo was a bound person, which made Ren Suo, who didn't really like socializing, feel very relieved.
After three rounds of meals, Xiao Jiu, Ren Xingmei and Lin Xianyu started to team up to play mobile games. The topic gradually turned to the fourth level of cultivation. Lin Xianyu and several students asked Dong Chengling to show off his telekinesis and coercion.
Ren Suo, who had already heard it once, yawned, then obediently put away the dishes and went to wash them.
While he was washing dishes in the kitchen, Qiao Muyi came over quietly, leaning against the kitchen counter, looking up at Ren Suo, and asked with a smile, "Do you remember the agreement we made that day?"
"What agreement?" Ren Suo was very alert.
"When you were promoted to the third rank that day, didn't I say I would give you a gift?" Qiao Muyi pouted towards the living room outside: "Do you still want it now?"
Ren Suo was slightly stunned, then he remembered that Qiao Muyi's gift was "Why don't we wait for Cheng Ling to come out of seclusion and then trick her into **", he frowned and began to think...
...Do you still need to think about this?
"No!" Ren Suo said righteously - how could Qiao Muyi be so kind, it must be a trap, if he agreed he would fall into it!
"Forget it then." Qiao Muyi left with regret: "I was planning to buy you a pair of 1000XM3 headphones...but your current headphones are still usable, so it doesn't matter if you don't buy new ones."
Ren Suo's jaw dropped in shock - he actually fell into the trap! ?
Seeing Ren Suo's silly look, Qiao Muyi couldn't help but laugh, and felt that the boredom in her heart dissipated a lot.
She waved her hand and said, "I'm going to leave first. You have to take good care of Cheng Ling... Oh, I was wrong. You should listen to Cheng Ling. After all, Cheng Ling is better than you."
As she said that, Qiao Muyi was about to turn around and leave, but Ren Suo grabbed her hand and said, "Wait."
"Um?"
"you……"
Ren Suo thought for a moment and said, "Wait here."
So Ren Suo locked Qiao Muyi, who looked confused, in the kitchen, returned to the living room and tapped Dong Chengling on the shoulder, "Chengling, let me talk to you about something."
Dong Chengling, who was demonstrating the use of telekinesis, nodded and followed Ren Suo to the balcony, leaving behind Zhao Huo who said "as expected", Gu Yueyan who had "mixed emotions", Qin Lian who said "hehehe" and Bai Ji who was still smiling.
Ren Suo was in no mood to care about other people's expressions, and directly said to Dong Chengling: "Qiao Muyi seems to be in trouble, but she refused to tell me, why don't you go talk to her."
When Qiao Muyi said she was leaving, Ren Suo clearly heard her response: "Maybe we'll never see each other again."
Although he didn't know why Ren Suo was so sure about Qiao Muyi's situation, Dong Chengling nodded immediately: "No problem, I'll go right away."
"The trouble she encountered is very likely a big one. She might want to seek refuge abroad." Ren Suo couldn't explain the content of the response "maybe she will never see each other again", so he made up a situation to let Dong Chengling know the seriousness of the problem.
"Leave it to me."
Dong Chengling walked into the kitchen and closed the door, so Ren Suo couldn't eavesdrop at all - the sound insulation of the teacher's dormitory was pretty good.
Ten minutes later, Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi came out arm in arm. Dong Chengling said to Ren Suo, "Xiao Qiao, stay at my place tonight."
Ren Suo nodded, thinking that Dong Chengling was very efficient and even kept the person, so Qiao Muyi had plenty of time to talk.
He asked, "So Qiao Muyi is staying in the guest room tonight? Xiao Jiu is still sleeping at my place tonight?"
Xiao Jiu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Xiao Jiu can sleep with big brother again!"
Feeling that he had received many contemptuous looks, Ren Suo quickly explained: "Xiao Jiu sleeps in one room, and I sleep in another!"
Xiao Jiu covered her chest with both hands, shook her head and said, "Big brother would watch Xiao Jiu fall asleep by the bed every night, but big brother is annoying and always uses his fingers."
As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Ren Suo pointed at Zhao Huo and said, "Why did you take out your phone?"
"I haven't talked to Chairman Xie for a long time. I want to ask him some questions about the law..."
"Chairman Xie is busy working at the Public Security Bureau, don't go and harass him!"
After a lot of noise, everyone said goodbye and left.
Ren Suo held Xiao Jiu's hand and walked to the downstairs of his dormitory to say goodbye to everyone.
"We'll have another fight in the combat training ground in two days." Zhao Huo patted Ren Suo's shoulder heavily. "I've been promoted to the third level, and my strength has greatly increased. After two days of running-in, I must fight you again!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, you are definitely a female." Ren Suo signaled Zhao Huo to get out of here. If you still want to be strong in front of the clone, you will be a coward.
"Brother, I'll leave then. I'll come over and stay for a few days on Friday." Ren Xingmei said with a smile.
Since Xiaojiu was not here, the guest room was naturally empty. Ren Suo did not refuse his sister's request to stay overnight, so he said, "Then I will buy Wild & Horses 2 in the next two days. You can help me get a platinum achievement then."
Gu Yueyan crossed his arms and looked at Ren Suo. He snorted and said, "We will finish the paper the day after tomorrow. We will send it to you then. Remember to complete the content you are responsible for."
"Thank you very much for the support from Gu and all the other students." Ren Suo clasped his fists and said, "Ren Suo will never forget you. I will repay you with my life... or be your slave in the next life..."
Lin Xianyu waved his hand and said, "See you tomorrow, Brother Ren! I'll go and make an appointment with you!"
Ren Suo thought that he would have to send his clone to see patients again tomorrow. He could only force a smile and said, "Thank you very much."
Qin Lian nodded politely: "Goodbye, Brother Ren."
Ren Suo also said politely: "Please give my regards to Yu Kuangtu and remember to tell him that Dong Chengling has reached the fourth level... He must know the news, but if you remind him, I think he will definitely be very happy about it and work harder to cultivate..."
Bai Ji looked at Ren Suo, spread his hands, and said, "I like the European and American way of saying goodbye recently."
Ren Suo blinked and went over to hug him: "Oh, goodbye."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Ren Suo took Xiao Jiu home.
After Xiaojiu finished washing up, it was time for her favorite sleep time.
But since it was the last night, Ren Suo decided not to play any tricks and asked directly, "How can you sleep?"
"Big brother, give me a kiss!" Xiaojiu said expectantly.
So Ren Suo lowered his head and kissed Xiao Jiu on the forehead. Xiao Jiu was very satisfied. He obediently pulled up the quilt to cover him, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Big brother, see you tomorrow!"
Ren Suo turned off the guest room light, returned to his bedroom, turned on his computer, and prepared to check the intranet messages.
If there was nothing else to do, he would go to sleep and practice.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Ren Suo picked it up and couldn't help but smile. He answered the call and said, "Mom, why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
"Yeah, I missed my son and couldn't sleep." Mom sounded quite serious, but Ren Suo could hear her chewing something, probably an apple.
"Then I'll go back in two days. Mom, remember to tidy up my room..."
"Your uncle is dead."
Ren Suo was slightly startled, then he stopped smiling and asked, "How did he die?"
"It happened today. He lived in Shenhai. It seems that some disaster happened in Shenhai today. He was unlucky and died."
Ren Suo was not familiar with his uncle, but the house he had rented before was rented to him by his uncle at a very affordable price - there was a subway station and a Jianji noodle shop downstairs. If it were not for his personal connections, it would be beyond the reach of a recent college graduate who aimed to work as a civil servant in the street office, like him.
"Do you need my help with the funeral arrangements?"
"I don't know yet. Most likely, you won't have to. Your uncle has settled in Shenhai. But your uncle's son should go back to take over Lianjiang's house. If you are able, you can help him with the formalities."
"no problem."
My mother hummed and said, "If you have time, come back with Xingmei. Your father and I miss you so much, especially you. If I don't see you again, I might not recognize you."
"How is that possible? I haven't changed at all." Ren Suo smiled.
"No, you haven't changed? You're still the same silly person as before... It's good that you haven't changed." My mother's voice was full of worry.
“Okay, okay, give me your cousin’s WeChat ID later so I can contact him,” Ren Suo said.
My mother said, "Suozi. Your job... isn't dangerous, is it?"
Ren Suo: "It's not dangerous. I'm in school all day, how could it be dangerous?"
"That's good, that's good..."
Mom said, "Luckily you and Xingmei both made me worry less... I didn't expect that you, my son, would occasionally make some correct choices."
Ren Suo suddenly wanted to introduce Qiao Muyi to his mother, feeling that they would definitely have something in common.
But he changed his mind and felt that if Qiao Muyi and his mother had a conversation, they would definitely improve their venomous tongue skills. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for him then? He immediately gave up the idea.
"Then come back in a few days. I'll change your bed sheets for you."
"Got it, mom. I'm hanging up now."
Putting down his phone, Ren Suo woke up from all sleepiness and went online to watch a movie.
This is a very commercial popcorn movie. A monster that was originally going to destroy the world gave up the idea of destroying the world because it was treated with love by humans, and lived a peaceful life with humans... Only the battle scenes were acceptable.
However, the movie was very long, and by the time Ren Suo had watched most of it, the time had gradually passed 24 hours.
The Tianjing time date also changed from November 19th to November 20th.
Suddenly, a new message popped up on the computer screen.
