Old Lu acted familiarly and sat down at Li Yao’s table.
Li Yao was unwilling. “If you haven’t eaten breakfast, go out and eat. Why are you coming here?”
Old Lu said disdainfully, “Youngster, why are you so stingy? Will eating a bit of your food make you poor? Can’t you just give way to this old man?”
How outrageous!
Li Yao was stunned.
Why should he?
Can’t you see that this is for two people? Anyway, breakfast cooked in the fried-garlic style is very expensive, okay? Furthermore, you said that my roots are bad and would not teach me sword skills. You still dare to come here for a free meal?
I, Big Li Yao, hold grudges!
Li Yao said, “Your old roots are bad. I won’t eat with you.”
Old Lu said, “Then go out.”
“???” Li Yao was dumbfounded.
Old Lu’s series of actions made Boss Li’s scalp tingle. He finally realized that old people were indeed much more experienced. Old Lu’s despicable methods were so strong that his eyes hurt. He said gloomily, “But this is my bar.”
“How impressive. I, Second Old Uncle, do not lack money.” As he spoke, he took out a few red bills and slapped them onto the table. “This is enough, right?”
Li Yao placed the money inside his pocket secretly and looked at Chen Xi. “Chen Xi, what else do you want to eat? Let’s order more.”
Chen Xi smiled and said, “Anything.”
Old Lu took Li Yao’s breakfast. While eating, he said, “Girl, do you see? How can you become impressive if you follow such a boss? I open a bar next door too. Go there. You can decide on your wages and treatment. The people there are very nice too. Everyone is talented. They speak nicely too. You will like it there.”
Li Yao’s face turned black.
Damn it,
Indeed, one turns smarter as he ages.
He runs all the way here in the morning and scolds me just to dig my employee away?
This old thing!
Li Yao simply just leaned back into the sofa to watch the show.
If you can dig Chen Xi away, consider me defeated!
Indeed, Chen Xi shook her head and said calmly, “Thank you, Mr. Old Man. But I’m fine here.”
Lu Xingshen immediately felt that his teeth hurt!
This girl!
Why are you so impenetrable?
He thought for a while and said directly, “Little brother, although I don’t know who your ‘covenant’ is, you look like you have some inheritances too. To me, this girl has amazing roots. She is a good bud to inherit my amazing skills… I don’t require her to become my discipline. I just want to pass on my skills. Can you help me persuade this girl?”
Upon hearing that, Li Yao and Chen Xi become puzzled.
What was this old man talking about?
When Lu Xingshen looked at their puzzled faces, he became puzzled too.
Why don’t they understand?
This was really the scenario of everyone being puzzled together…
Old Lu felt that he was a bit confused. “Wait a moment. I’m a bit confused. Let me tidy up my thoughts.”
“You don’t know what an abnormal person is?” asked Old Lu, pointing at Li Yao.
Li Yao nodded his head.
“You don’t know either?” Old Lu looked at Chen Xi again. Chen Xi nodded too.
What the heck!
Old Lu started to suspect life. Unless it was a hot spot for people with supernatural abilities or when people were studying under a master, it was hard to find a place with so many abnormal people gathered together.
This place was good.
There were actually two newbies here.
And they both did not know that they had supernatural abilities.
They lived right next door!
Thereafter…
He ran over and spoke nonsense.
And made everyone so confused.
This was very embarrassing.
The atmosphere was a bit weird. Old Lu squatted there and stayed silent for a while before clearing his throat and saying, “It’s like this… This world is not as simple as we think it is. Those unimaginable things actually do exist and have integrated into our lives. You, she, and I are like that. It’s just that you have not interacted with this group yet.”
Old Lu pointed at the three people present.
Li Yao nodded his head.
He had already a basic guess about it and did not seem very surprised.
On the other hand, Chen Xi looked at Old Lu, then at Li Yao, then at Li Yao, then at Li Yao again… Li Yao was a bit puzzled. You can’t keep looking at me even though I’m so good-looking.
Chen Xi was very puzzled.
The boss is not an ordinary man.
How impressive!
Initially, when Li Yao chose the store here, he had imagined that such a day would come. Thus, he said, “Why don’t you tell us?”
Old Lu was embarrassed.
After fussing around for so long, they were not people from the supernatural world. He had scolded them for half a day and made himself seem so unsympathetic.
But since there are newbies…
They are easy to lie to.
For no reason, Old Lu suddenly laughed… Ahem, Old Lu cleared his throat and kept his smile.
Li Yao passed him a cup of water. “Your throat is not good?”
“Not that.” Old Lu pushed the cup of water back and said, “It’s like this. Supernatural power is split into three categories—abnormal humans, extremely abnormal people, and abnormal beings. We are abnormal humans.”
After all, abnormal humans were still humans. But extremely abnormal people had gone extinct already.
For abnormal beings, they were not humans at all.
They were creatures from another abnormal space.
—They were called demons, devils, ghosts, and creatures.
After speaking, Old Lu let out a light breath and said, “I know. It’s hard to understand in such a short time. But it’s alright. Digest it slowly.”
After speaking, Old Lu left.
“…” Li Yao was speechless.
“…” Chen Xi was speechless.
There’s nothing else afterward?
Are you a eunuch, old thing?
Never mind. It is not important.
Li Yao looked at Chen Xi and said in a surprised tone, “You have supernatural abilities?”
Chen Xi was very surprised too. “So boss, you aren’t an ordinary man.”
“…” Li Yao was speechless.
Now that you say this, I’m very sad.
I’m still the main character of this novel… right?
For no reason, when Li Yao said this in his heart, he did not have any confidence.
Forget it…
it is not important.
Li Yao said to Chen Xi, “Go to the human resources company and take a look. We are opening soon.”
He still had to busy himself with other matters.
After all, he could not let the signboard and couplet at the entrance down.
Chen Xi nodded obediently. After eating breakfast, she tidied the place up and left. When she left, she still glanced at the bar next door purposefully. It was still in the morning. The adjacent bar had only opened their doors, but they had not started business yet. Hence, it looked very deserted.
Looks like the bar next door is not that simple too.
But it doesn’t matter.
Live life peacefully.
Chen Xi went out happily. After a while, Li Yao went out too.
In the late-night bar, Old Lu waited patiently.
He waited from morning to noon.
And from noon to night.
After the man and woman next door returned, they worked for a while before turning off the lights.
There was no movement afterward!
Old Lu’s hand, which was gripping the dragon snake cane, increased its strength unconsciously! He gripped it so tightly that the cane squeaked.
What are they doing?
The youngsters now are so calm?
Zhou Li yawned and went in front of him. He asked, “Second Old Uncle, aren’t you sleeping? It’s not good for old people to stay up late.”
They would die easily.
Second Old Uncle glanced at Zhou Li. Suddenly, his anger rose, and he slapped the back of his head. “You are the only one with so many words! Did you wipe the wine glasses clean?”
“???” Zhou Li was speechless.
What did I do?
Am I wrong to show concern to the elderly?
He looked at Second Old Uncle with a puzzled face as Second Old Uncle went upstairs. Afterward, he ran back to his room with a wronged expression.
“Qi Qi, let’s sleep later!”
I, Boss Zhou, am a gangster!
