Chapter 115 I'm going to pack up and leave

Although the Zhao family is extremely wealthy, Zhao Qi'an, the host, did not have a dinner party as sumptuous as he had imagined.

Eight hot dishes and four cold dishes... Although it is rich, they are all home-cooked dishes without any dragon liver, phoenix marrow, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, or bird's nest.

That’s it, and it’s because of the guests.

Normally, a plate of vegetables, a small bowl of roasted meat, and some rice would be enough for Zhao Qian'an to eat alone.

The ugly slave who was responsible for serving him initially thought that Zhao Qian'an ate so little because he was not living a happy life in the princess's mansion.

But now, there is no "princess" in the princess's mansion, and he still only eats these things every day. The ugly slave then realized that his master really has no demand for food and drink.

Chu Xuan didn't care about the dishes on the table. He just thought that Zhao Qian'an invited him to his house, it couldn't be as simple as just having a meal, right?

But since Zhao Qi'an didn't mention it, he didn't feel comfortable asking.

After Chu Xuan sat down, he found an extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked, "Does the boss have any guests tonight?"

Zhao Qi'an nodded: "It should be here soon."

Chu Xuan immediately guessed the identity of the other guest.

Could this be... Dean An from Bailu Academy?

It's no wonder he thought so. After all, Zhao Qi'an had said that after Dean An returned to officialdom, he would ask Dean An to take him to the third floor of the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

No matter how you look at tonight's game, it seems like they are going to introduce him to Dean An Shoudao.

When Chu Xuan thought about meeting an unrivaled master who was about to achieve the first level of Taoism, he actually felt a little nervous.

He has a bit of reputation in the world.

But compared with the peerless powerful person who has one foot halfway on the threshold of Yangxian, he is still far behind.

Chu Xuan waited for nearly half an incense stick of time with a nervous heart.

When the delicacies on the table had become a little cold, Zhao Qian'an asked the kitchen to reheat them, and then the late guest finally arrived.

When Chu Xuan heard the sound of the door being pushed, he quickly stood up from the table, turned towards the door, bowed and was about to kneel down.

But when he saw who was coming, his respectful expression suddenly stopped and his half-bent waist stiffened.

Behind him, Zhao Qi'an's slightly dissatisfied voice came: "Mr. Nie, where have you been today? You haven't been home for a day. Today is not your day off."

The one coming in from outside was An Shoudao.

Instead, he was an old man with dark skin, wrinkles all over his face, and dressed like a farmer.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but tremble a few times, he was so angry.

He stood up suddenly, glared and cursed: "Nie Xiuyuan?! Why is it you, an old man?!"

He subconsciously wanted to unsheathe his sword, but then he remembered that he did not bring his sword today.

Old Nie looked up at him, seeming a little surprised that Chu Xuan was here.

However, he only took a glance and pretended that Chu Xuan didn't exist. He walked straight to the table and sat down. He picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks and started to eat tonight's dishes.

Chu Xuan turned around and looked at him, his expression as if he had seen something unclean, one that was filled with fear and disgust.

He pointed at the deaf-mute old servant who was eating at the table and asked Zhao Qi'an angrily, "Boss Zhao, why is old man Nie Xiuyuan here?"

Zhao Qi'an was really surprised this time.

The reason why he asked Master Nie to come tonight was to see if this new Master Chu was the "King of Chu" among the three swordsmen in the world.

I thought maybe the two knew each other.

But now it seems that the two of them are more than just acquaintances. Judging from the situation, they seem to have a grudge against each other?

"Master Chu, do you know Old Nie? Old Nie is an old servant who served my mother. After my mother passed away, he has been following me to work. Although Old Nie is a servant, I have always regarded him as an elder."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Qi'an told the truth.

Chu Xuan seemed to have heard something unbelievable. He looked at Old Nie in shock and said, "You have been missing for all these years. Did you run away to work as a slave? What do you think?" Old Nie, who had been ignoring Chu Xuan, put down his chopsticks until this moment, turned his head and looked him up and down.

Although he didn't say anything, it seemed as if he was saying, "What's the difference between you and me?"

Chu Xuan's face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am different from you! I have a reason!"

Old Nie sneered, picked up his glass and drank, then ignored him again.

Chu Xuan suppressed his anger, looked at Zhao Qi'an, and said angrily: "Since Mr. Zhao already has Nie Wudi by his side, why does he need a nobody like me?"

"Is the King of Chu also considered a nobody?"

Zhao Qi'an's sudden words instantly extinguished Chu Xuan's anger, and he looked at him in shock and astonishment.

Zhao Dongjia...he actually knows everything? !
No, since old man Nie Xiuyuan is by his side, it would be abnormal if he didn't recognize me.

Chu Xuan wanted to leave in anger, but Chu Wuxin grabbed his hand.

He looked at Chu Wuxin, and saw a hint of pleading on Chu Wuxin's face.

Only then did he remember the reason why he came to Kyoto and the heavy burden on his shoulders...

This is not the time to act on impulse.

But he and Nie Xiuyuan would serve the same master, and they would have to be colleagues in the future...Whenever he thought of this, he always felt that there was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over.

Just when Chu Xuan was in a dilemma, Old Nie finished his meal, put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve, and then stood up.

He turned around and looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan also glared at him with anger in his eyes.

But Mr. Nie opened his mouth towards him, stretched out his left finger, and pointed at his tongue.

Then he pointed to his ears and shook his head.

He could neither hear nor speak.

Then, Mr. Nie raised his right hand and revealed his palm.

His palm has only three fingers.

The index finger and thumb were cut off at the roots.

Chu Xuan's expression changed several times, and his anger gradually faded, replaced by confusion and disbelief: "You... they also found you?"

Mr. Nie couldn't hear the sound, but he could read lips and nodded.

Chu Xuan's face suddenly darkened and he sat down at the table dejectedly.

Old Nie was calm and composed. He turned around and touched Zhao Qian'an's belly. Zhao Qian'an waved at him helplessly. He grinned and left the room.

After Mr. Nie left, Chu Xuan was depressed for a long time.

After a moment, he looked at Zhao Qi'an and asked with a wry smile, "When did the boss find out my identity?"

Zhao Qi'an swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth carefully, put down his chopsticks, and replied: "I have also dabbled in the martial arts of the Sword Valley."

The skills of the Sword Valley were also presented to the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Except for King Chu Renwang's "Flying Sword Technique", most of them can be found in the lower six levels.

Chu Xuan then realized that he had been exposed from the very beginning.

No wonder Mr. Zhao offered him such favorable conditions. He thought that the Zhao family had always been so wealthy.

Chu Xuan sighed, "If the boss gave me such favorable conditions because of the three words 'King of Chu', then I am afraid that the boss will be disappointed. Now I am no longer the 'King of Chu' of the past, and my strength is just that of an ordinary Tianren warrior. I am not worthy of these conditions given by the boss."

"After we return, my father and I will pack up and leave. We won't make things difficult for the boss."
