Chapter 167: The Mysterious Man in Cafeteria No. 7
"By the way, Second Brother, when can I meet Big Brother? We're in the same school, shouldn't there be a chance? ", As they chatted to the end, He Lianuo suddenly remembered that for this blood-related big brother, he still only knew his name and had never seen him before!
"This will have to wait, in three years it's the Sacred Soul's once-in-a-hundred-years Fighting Spirit Conference, and after that, our college still has to compete with several other colleges in a ranking match. Big Brother has already been forced by his teacher to close himself off for cultivation, let alone you, I haven't seen him in two years either. You just focus on increasing your strength, three years later, among us three brothers, the one who will make a name for himself in the Soul Realm can't be just Big Brother!" He Liancheng said with a teasing smile.
Right! The resurgence of the Helian clan can't be shouldered by big brother alone! Upon hearing this, Helian Nuo clenched his fists, and a heroic spirit arose in his heart. On the path to refining his soul, he didn't want to lose to anyone, even if that person was his own older brother!
"Alright, I'll go take a look elsewhere to see if there are any other good seedlings this year. Originally, according to the Wolf Tooth's rules, those below Blue Robe cannot be recruited, but I think you three have great potential, so I strongly recommended you to the person in charge. However, he also set a condition: three months later, if you haven't advanced to Blue Robe, Wolf Tooth will drive you out! ", He Lian Shuo's expression turned cold, and he looked at He Lian Nuo seriously before turning around and leaving, of course, he also took away two roasted ducks and a string of cured sausage...
"Three months to get to blue robe? Alas, you three are seeking good fortune for yourselves! I used three years and was still wandering in yellow robe!", Huang Nongying sighed with a long tone, then pushed his small cart away slowly, of course, he didn't forget to bring several roasted fish and half a suckling pig...
"Three months? Hmph, Flower Arranging Shadow, we three are not lazy guys like you! ", He Lianuo smiled confidently and subconsciously reached for the tablecloth...
"Huh? Where's the food? Our food? Didn't we just have a lot of it?", one hand felt around, Helian Nu angrily jumped up, picked up the empty tablecloth, and helplessly looked at the other two!
No wonder he was so angry. What was originally a good breakfast was ruined by these few people, not to mention that they didn't eat well, and they couldn't even get full!
"I just saw your second brother... before he left, it seemed like he grabbed something from the tablecloth...", Lan You said hesitantly.
"That shameless Flower Nurturing Shadow! No wonder he ran away like a rabbit, must have secretly stolen our food!", Mo Fei Bai cursed loudly without any reserve.
"Never mind, just take it. Yesterday's greasy food was a bit too much anyway. Let's go get something light and easy from Fat Master!... Hearing that his second brother was among the thieves, He Lianuo didn't dare say anything more and quickly changed the subject, leading them towards the Seventh Canteen."
Mo Fei Bai and Lan You Ruo exchanged a glance, both revealing a knowing smile. The dilapidated wooden house didn't have anything valuable inside, so the two simply left the door wide open and quickly followed He Lian Nuo from behind.
Three people quickly arrived at the seventh cafeteria, He Lianuo lightly opened the door and found that the cafeteria was not as deserted as last time. More than a dozen students wearing blue or red robes were scattered in various corners, chatting idly while swallowing food. Several green-robed freshmen looked worried, holding black buns and radishes, gazing longingly at the delicious food hanging on the counter.
The three of them carefully observed and found that the blue-robed student's bowl, although barely considered sumptuous, only had some ordinary home-cooked dishes, rarely seeing a few pieces of meat, while the yellow-robed student's bowl was even more plain with just a plate of vegetables. It seemed that those delicious foods on the counter were not for ordinary people to enjoy.
"Look, how wise my choice was at the beginning! Follow me and you'll have meat to eat!", Helian Nuo said with a proud smile as he turned his head back to the other two and stretched out his big thumb, but all he got in return were four white eyes from the two of them!
Because the agreement with Master Hua was a secret, He Lianuo didn't dare to be too ostentatious. He pretended to be obedient and walked to the counter, lightly tapping on the table and saying in a low voice: "Master Hua, we three have come again! Hurry up, yesterday's big fish and meat made us feel nauseous, this time let's have something light!"
Upon hearing this devil-like voice, the originally smiling face of Fat Master suddenly disappeared without a trace. He helplessly lowered his head, squeezed out a constipated expression, and subconsciously opened the small door behind the counter, leading the three to the back kitchen.
"You three wait here, I'll be right back. Remember, don't touch anything, this kitchen is off-limits to outsiders, and if it weren't for special circumstances, I wouldn't let you in!" Fat Master cautioned in a low voice, then turned around and walked towards a small room with a stove.
Three people looked around, and the cafeteria of this Shengyuan Academy was also like other places, with all kinds of ingredients piled up everywhere. However, there was no firewood here, nor could they smell any oil fumes, but they didn't know how Fat Master usually cooked his dishes.
"Huh? I thought this was a forbidden area for the kitchen, how can there still be someone drinking here?" He Lianuo curiously approached the room where the stove was located, but Lan You suddenly grabbed his sleeve. He turned around to look and indeed, next to a neatly arranged pile of white vegetables, a man with a stubbly chin held a shiny wine jug in his hand, sipping it with his eyes narrowed, looking very comfortable. His face had already flushed red, clearly having reached a state of mild intoxication. A diagonal scar on the bridge of his nose made him look somewhat ferocious. On the table in front of him, several exquisite small dishes had been eaten more than halfway through. The man's feet were casually clad in slippers, and his finger joints were thick and rough, clearly a person who had labored for many years.
"This fatty, who always says that the back kitchen is his forbidden land, why did he let such an unruly man in now?" Helianuo looked curiously at the drinking man and her feet unconsciously moved closer.
"Are you drinking? If not, then get out of the way!" Before Helian could approach, the man's arm suddenly swept across, handing him a wine bottle to his chest. Helian didn't hesitate for a moment, swiftly taking it and tilting his head back to drink the remaining wine in one gulp. Instantly, a stream of fire flowed down his throat, burning his face bright red. He suppressed it with effort, but still burst into violent coughing that wouldn't stop until he was on the verge of bleeding from the throat before slowly recovering.
"Nowadays, young people are indeed one more useless than the other!" Seeing Helian Nuo's intense reaction, the man let out a disdainful snort, his expression growing even more despondent. He reached into his bosom and fished out another identical wine flask, twisted open the cap, and continued drinking in small sips.
Although the cough had slowly subsided, Helianuo still felt his whole body burning with heat. He would have liked to strip off all his clothes and jump into an ice cellar to cool down. But the man's words "good-for-nothing" thoroughly stirred up the blood in his veins. Others could say he was incompetent, others could say he had no future, but under no circumstances could they call him a good-for-nothing!
The dignity of the descendants of the wolf shall not be insulted by anyone!
"Is there still wine? Give me another bottle!", Helian's voice had been made somewhat hoarse by the knife-like liquor, but his tone was still as firm and unyielding as ever.
The man raised his head in surprise, looked at Helianuo who was red-faced but strong-willed, and then reached into his bosom to take out another gourd bottle and threw it into his hand.
Khaleno didn't even look, directly biting off the cork with his teeth, closing his eyes and downing the strong liquor in one gulp. Having learned a lesson from the first time, he was prepared for the intense kick of the liquor, but still, he spent a long time adapting to it, even snatching the man's chopsticks to swallow some small dishes in big mouthfuls, only then suppressing the effects of the alcohol.
"If you can drink another bottle, I'll let you sit at this table!" The man's face remained cold and calm, as if by magic, he took out two more bottles from nowhere and placed one in front of Hreinno.
He Lian Nu was swaying back and forth, picking up another bottle of wine. Lan You Ruo subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop him, but Mo Fei Bai pulled her back. Although they hadn't been together for long, he already knew He Lian Nu's temperament well. If she were to intervene at this moment, not only would it have no effect, but she might even be scolded!
A bottle of wine down, Helian's consciousness was already somewhat unclear, but the stubbornness in his bones became more and more apparent. He suddenly tore open his upper body clothes, revealing a sturdy yet not exaggerated muscular physique. The Heavenly Wolf mark on his chest had slightly reddened due to the stimulation of alcohol, but he didn't care, biting open the cork of the second bottle of wine and drinking it all in one gulp!
"Alright, you can sit down now. You two little ghosts, go to the stove and tell Fat Chef to make a few more dishes for me to send over. Then, leave! " Seeing He Lianuo finish his second bottle of wine, the man finally showed a hint of satisfaction, turned his head and gave the order to expel Mo Fei and Bai.
Mo Fei and Bai had no choice but to pass on the man's words to Master Huang, and then stood guard in the dining hall. Lan You Rou pretended to be calm, occasionally poking her head into the kitchen to listen for any movement. Mo Fei, however, was completely at ease, even chatting with a few green-robed freshmen with great interest!
Seeing Lan You's anxious expression, Mo Fei Bai couldn't help but smile wryly, and then turned his head to continue chatting with a few freshmen, but in his heart, he was not as calm as he appeared...
"Peeping Tom, I didn't expect you'd get his approval. Whether it's a blessing or a nightmare depends on your own luck!"
