Cheng Jinzhou's heart was beating fast.

In the era of lie detectors, the beating of the heart cannot be hidden from others. Cheng Jinzhou did not hide his nervousness, but he affirmed: No. The original Mr. Customer Service..., what happened?

Buddha stared at Cheng Jinzhou for a long time and said, If it's not something you should know, don't ask.

The new customer service man felt annoyed. The Star Alliance was at level 4. There was not much profit, but he had to be personally responsible for it. It was really a thankless job. I really want to take this opportunity to kill him.

The person next to him was probably of a higher status. He was floating in the flames and said to Cheng Jinzhou: It's none of your business. Just feel free to upgrade your level. The Star Alliance welcomes people from all over the world to join.

The tone is cliche in nature, but it is not easy to make mistakes, and he has the air of a leader.

Cheng Jinzhou's heart moved, and he suddenly said: I will help the two adults find him while I am improving my level. But if I find him, how can I capture him?

As he spoke, he pointed at the two people in the void.

Although he didn't see the appearance of customer service 010, he guessed that it was probably similar to the two of them.

Buddha looked at him up and down and said, As long as you call me out, there will be a solution.

Cheng Jinzhou sneered twice and hesitated.

The two people in the flames disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Jinzhou turned around and saw the priest and others looking at him in surprise.

Knowing that it was because he was talking to himself, Xiao Cheng laughed twice and said: It's the sequelae of praying. There is some response.

So the congratulations continued, and the smoke of the fireworks continued.

Mr. Yisu's voice quickly emerged from the void, and said calmly: You want to find a way to deal with me, right?

If I am pressed, I will have no choice but to confess to Lord Buddha. Cheng Jinzhou said without concealment: The sky is big and the earth is big, and life is the most important. If we can live in peace, I don't mind giving you some benefits. Maybe you don't see it. Yes, it’s okay if I help you, but if your request is too much, there’s nothing you can do.”

Yisu was not as cold as he saw at first, he laughed loudly and said, What are you afraid of?

I'm more afraid. For example, if you want a body, I'm very afraid.

Yisu laughed and said, If you die, I won't be able to contact the Star Alliance. Also, be careful of the consequences for yourself.

What kind of bitter fruit? Cheng Jinzhou frowned.

If investigators are attracted, just the real rice you grow will be a big temptation... Yisu snorted twice.

No matter what Cheng Jinzhou said, there was no response.

An apprentice whispered Master Sacrifice twice, and Cheng Jinzhou came out of his trance.

The priest still stayed in the main hall, thinking that Cheng Jinzhou's confusion was the reason for communicating with the Star God. He found someone to personally anoint his forehead with oil and said: You need to have a good rest for two days. You have used up too much... mental energy, right? Poor health.

Having lived in Daxia for more than ten years, Li Zhongzhen cannot use all words skillfully like a Daxia native.

Cheng Jinzhou closed his eyes slightly, feeling the coolness on his temples, and said, I want to go home. Also, if you are not busy, I would like to invite you and Warlock Shang Ke Lin Xing to go home for dinner.

Hosting a banquet at home is always the most intimate way of doing things, so Li Zhong can certainly understand. Without thinking too much, he agreed and said, Then I'll prepare.

Shang Kelin was the star warlock who had just saved Cheng Jinzhou. The second-level star warlock had no star rating. He was considered to be above the middle level in the temple, but he was born and raised in Daxia.

His rescue of Cheng Jinzhou could be regarded as a fate, and he was very happy to have the opportunity to attend a family banquet of a priest, but his tone did not sound like a lifesaver.

Cheng Jinzhou sincerely thanked him. Otherwise, even a minor burn would not be something a normal person is willing to bear.

The two were humble to each other and had a pleasant conversation.

**********

Although the master lived in the temple, Shi Mo and others did not dare to leave for a moment, so as soon as they went out, several servants rushed after them.

Cheng Jinzhou naturally ignored them, but Shi Mo came to the car and whispered: Third brother, Miss Liu has been here twice recently.

Oh? Cheng Jinzhou's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he asked, How are you, mom?

Madam is fine, but...

how?

Someone is causing trouble for the master. Shi Mo looked at Xuexue every day and learned a lot, and said: The master has been feeling depressed when he went home recently. Although we servants care...

Cheng Jinzhou interrupted him and said, You are not allowed to chew your master's tongue in the future, or you will be castrated.

Yes. Shi Mo was startled and looked up at Cheng Jinzhou's face, which was pleasant but did not understand.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't wait for a moment and asked again: Is it because of Hou Wenwu?

There are not many capable idiots in the imperial court, and a genius like Hou Wenwu who has been pampered since childhood is extremely valuable.

Having just been accused of not being able to chew his tongue, Shi Mo replied in confusion: I only heard that it was the people from Yushitai who impeached him.

The Yushitai could hear about the memorials, but they were very powerful, and their political achievements were reflected in the number and influence of the memorials. It's even worse than the CPPCC members' insincere remarks and their endless chatter.

You've become smarter. Cheng Jinzhou pondered for a moment, then turned to Shang Kelin and said with a smile: I'm making you laugh. My father is the head of the household department of the imperial court, so he probably offended a villain.

I heard that Hou Wenwu is a rising star in the imperial court. Is Hou Wenwu causing trouble for you? Shang Kelin said Hou Wenwu's name without any change. After all, he is a second-level star warlock. He is not very conspicuous in the huge temple, but once he walks out, he is a shining star. Even if he faces the gentlemen of the Political Hall, he probably will not be timid at all - maybe in the power On the other hand, second-level star warlocks cannot control the vast land and appoint and remove many officials, let alone manipulate and start wars, but in terms of social status, they will always be the highest-end group of people.

Cheng Jinzhou asked a little surprised: Do you know him?

In his understanding, astrologers often don't care much about the changes in the government. As long as they can achieve success in astrology, they don't care about all matters. Those who occasionally need to deal with the court are the upper echelons of the Star Warlocks.

Shang Kelin was tall and thin, and said with a kind smile: You know the Qi Doulu family, right?

The person who founded the country's dynasty? When he was still in Shaonan, Cheng Jinzhou read the Three Character Classic and came across Qi Doulu.

Shang Kelin nodded and said with a smile: Hou Wenwu married a girl from the Lu family in the capital, and my family also hired me in the Lu family. The two of us can be regarded as shouldering the burden.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled in surprise.

Perhaps seeing his smile, Shang Kelin said awkwardly: I am 54 years old this year. There is no problem in living to 150 years old. I used to focus on mathematics and physics, but I have made little progress in these years...

There are often two types of Star Warlocks, one who likes life and wastes his genius, and the other who squanders his genius and rarely enjoys life. The former usually has difficulty becoming a high-level astromancer, which means that life is short. If the latter cannot become a high-level astromancer or thinks they have reached a certain limit, they often choose to get married and have children to extend their lives in another natural way...

Propagating life is the most important part of human genes, and no one can resist it. During millions of years of evolution, gentlemen who like to resist have no say in future generations.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, So...

Oh, oh, I tend to go off topic. Shang Kelin laughed and said, I just want to explain that I know Hou Wenwu.

Cheng Jinzhou rolled his eyes, this guy was really off topic.

Li Zhong smiled and said: Do you want the Holy Church to come forward?

If it were before, he would never say this.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and said nothing. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, it seems that Warlock Liu Kuangxing hopes to ease the atmosphere with the court. He has already offended Warlock An Fengxing. To offend Warlock Liu Kuangxing again for Hou Wenwu, it seems that the gain is not worth the loss, just like tearing down the kitchen to catch mice.

Shi Mo quickly sent someone home to inform him, so as soon as he arrived at Zhuque Street, Xie An came with his men to greet him.

Because he was Cheng Jinzhou's guest, Cheng's father naturally could not go out to welcome him. Since there was no suitable candidate at home, he had to send his staff.

Fortunately, Li Zhong and others don't care.

**********

The Cheng family had enjoyed a period of prosperity in the capital.

But in the struggle with many centuries-old families, it inevitably entered decline. The only house that could record these was sold off.

The foreign residence left in the capital now is just a courtyard that was repurchased later, and its nature is more like the office in Beijing in later generations.

When there was only Cheng Jinzhou, the outer house was still empty. With Cheng's father and his staff, it basically reached its maximum capacity.

With the arrival of Cheng's mother, a large group of maids and women made the outer house seem inadequate.

Mother Cheng put a lot of effort into hosting this family banquet, making it simple and yet without losing her status - a family can tell its background, and its background is often reflected in the women.

A banquet full of praise is not that easy.

However, when the men sit at the table, they enjoy the feast but do not discuss it.

Li Zhong was very interested in everything about the Cheng family. As a clergyman with a background as a priest, he was very good at chatting with people, especially civil servants like Cheng Yun'an, who were the targets of his strategy back then. Two people could talk happily with almost no tricks.

In fact, for the priest, 13-year-old Cheng Jinzhou is not a good chat partner. He is too young and always thinks twice when speaking. On the other hand, children who behave more maturely are still children. When faced with objective problems, people can ignore this, but chatting is not the case.

Shang Kelin's family also has a tradition of being a civil servant, and he can also chat with Cheng Yun'an, but Cheng Jinzhou is left alone, eating delicate shrimps and shiny meat - he can't steal his father's. topic.

At this time, he began to miss Shen Cong and others. Although they were a few years older than him but a few years younger than him in actual age, they could always talk to each other.

However, he had no idea how Shen Cong was gritting his teeth and reading the Four Books and Five Classics at this moment.
