Cheng Tianle secretly laughed and said: "Mouse, can you please stop being so snobbish? First you asked me to be wary of her, and now you find out that she may be able to refine weapons, which may be useful in the future, and you want me to take care of her again? You always have this kind of calculation.
, be careful to become someone like Song Chunlai!"
"Mouse" retorted unconvinced: "Aren't you also wary of her? Why are you just talking about me? I don't have any other meaning. I'm just discussing the matter. If she can refine weapons, she will be very useful in the future. Wait for us
Once you get the fourth step, you might as well give some guidance secretly."
Cheng Tianle said again: "Don't forget about the benefits! I asked Zhang Xiaoxiao to have a good chat with her first and secretly test her background. The results on Zhang Xiaoxiao's side are not clear yet. What should we do? I'll see you tomorrow.
Let’s talk about it after Zhang Xiaoxiao.”
In short, this meal was full of mixed flavors, full of emotions, but also very rewarding. The ordinary things happening around people may be the same as the tea art that Nangong Yue learned. As long as you pay attention and have that kind of perception
If you reach the realm, you can gain something.
…
The next day was the weekend again, and Cheng Tianle didn't have to go to work, so he came to Guanqian Street again. Today he was inviting someone, and Zhang Xiaoxiao was really serious about helping this time. Let's meet and treat him to a meal.
What was different from the past was that he did not go to Menghu Meiwa Hotel again, not only because of the embarrassing incident that happened yesterday, but also subconsciously did not want his acquaintances at Menghu Meiwa Hotel to see him with a vixen.
.
In Deyue Tower, Zhang Xiaoxiao had already arrived in front of the door outside the corridor. Cheng Tianle, who was sitting in a private room waiting for her, unexpectedly didn't "find" him. He knew someone was coming outside the door and it was a woman. But he didn't expect it to be Zhang Xiaoxiao. Wait.
She pushed the door open and came in. Cheng Tianle raised his head, his eyes lit up and he was startled. He immediately summoned "Rat" with his soul and said: "Come out quickly and take a look at Zhang Xiaoxiao!"
"Mouse" replied with some dissatisfaction: "You just called me out now! Why are you eating in the restaurant again? What's so good about Zhang Xiaoxiao? I've seen it so many times!... Hey, is this Zhang Xiaoxiao? It's really Zhang Xiaoxiao
Xiaoxiao. I almost didn’t recognize it except for the appearance! Well, the smell has not changed, but the breath is different. The vitality characteristics have also converged very well. I understand. This is the result of practicing the set of techniques you taught."
Cheng Tianle smiled secretly and said: "I'm not asking you to see this! Seeing her today, I finally solved a problem that I have been thinking about for a long time. This is the legendary epiphany!"
"Mouse" asked in confusion: "What on earth did you realize? You seem very proud of it?"
Cheng Tianle pretended to be profound and said: "I won't point it out for now, you can figure it out for yourself. Your perception is much sharper than mine. Yesterday you could tell at a glance that there was Song Chunlai's saliva in the soup. Today I will test your understanding.
How about xing."
"Mouse" saw the change in Zhang Xiaoxiao at a glance, and immediately understood that she had achieved some success in practicing that set of techniques, but couldn't figure out what Cheng Tianle had "suddenly"? So he stopped talking and started thinking about it silently.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was wearing a pair of transparent-framed soft-rimmed glasses today. Her hair was cut a little shorter and spread smoothly over her shoulders. She was wearing a beige cashmere coat and a brown soft sheepskin belt around her waist.
It was winter, but her slim waist still showed off. The coat was just knee-length, and a gray pleated skirt showed out from under the coat. Her legs under the skirt were wrapped in a pair of brown boots, making her look slender and well-proportioned.
Cheng Tianle smiled and nodded and said: "Here you come. Please take a seat. You handled the matter very seriously this time, and you did me a favor. I'm treating you today, so you can order."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said with some fear: "Mr. Cheng, how can I let you invite me?"
Cheng Tianle: "I invited you here. Is there any reason for you to invite me? Since I said you should obey my orders, I actually have no other intention. I just want to be reasonable. Today I am thanking you."
Zhang Xiaoxiao refused and ordered two dishes - "De Yuetong Chicken" and "Mi Sauce Fire Recipe". They are not very expensive here, but they are both traditional dishes of this century-old restaurant. Cheng Tianle took a look
They are all meat, and they are big meat, which is not in line with the habit of a lady like her who usually says that the taste is light and she has to keep in shape and pay attention to losing weight. It seems that she has indeed retained the habits of the fox demon. Cheng Tianle ordered two more vegetarian dishes and one soup.
, ordered a bottle of wine and started eating.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little reserved. Cheng Tianle did not speak and she did not dare to take the initiative to speak. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Cheng Tianle raised his head and said: "You don't have to be too restrained. Since you know why I asked you to come, take the initiative to sort things out."
Tell me what happened, the focus is on your feelings towards Nangong Yue."
Zhang Xiaoxiao replied seriously: "Mr. Cheng, to be honest, apart from the fact that she is a demon cultivator, I have not found anything unusual in the relationship between her and Bi Ran. This is what you are concerned about, right?"
Cheng Tianle: "Oh, are you so sure? For example, Nangong Yue may be like you, absorbing people's vitality and using it to practice what kind of magic?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head in embarrassment and said: "Mr. Cheng, you misunderstood. It's also my fault that I didn't fully explain it last time. In fact, not all demon cultivators can practice like that. I practice the Vitality and Shouyuan Hui like that because of my special talent.
It's easier, but it's not impossible if you don't practice so much. As for Nangong girl's origins being different from mine, she may have her own natural talents, but I don't understand this clearly.
But she has no ill intentions towards Bi Ran, and there is no need for her to have any special intentions, let alone go all the way from the United States to Suzhou. I think when Zheng Lang and I were together, I never absorbed his vitality.
, because there is no need, and I don’t have that idea. An expert like you should understand that a person’s vitality and vitality are simply not enough for a demon cultivator to always use it for cultivation, and that is to murder him, not to
Use him."
Cheng Tianle smiled half-heartedly and said, "You also call her Sister Nangong? It seems that you have a good impression of her. Is it because she is also a demon cultivator, are you more willing to speak for her?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was not perfunctory, but still answered seriously: "Maybe there is a reason for this, but on the other hand, the demon cultivator may know the demon cultivator better, and some intuitions are innate. If you are worried about Bi Ran, it seems
There's no big need, the girl won't harm him. But what I'm worried about now is another thing. I know you care about Bi Ran..."
She stopped talking at this point, Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "You don't have to beat around the bush with me, I know what you are thinking. You are worried about Bi Ran's reaction if he finds out Nangong Yue's identity, right? Then
I also want to ask, do you think Bi Ran can see through it? Can he understand this kind of thing in the world?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "It's hard for him to understand such existence in the world. And he can't see through it at all."
Cheng Tianle: "Then what are you worried about?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao lowered his head and remained silent. Cheng Tianle smiled: "If you have something to say, you still don't dare to say it directly. Are you worried about me? Then I will tell you today, if she has no intention of murdering Bi Ran
, I just came to Suzhou to fall in love with him. It’s none of their business how we talk about it. I have no reason to care about it.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao raised his head and said, "You mean...not to point it out?"
Cheng Tianle still smiled and said: "For example, if you are a teaching assistant in a university, as long as you are qualified and willing to be a teacher, then continue to be a teacher. If you don't want to do it anymore, you can resign. If you can't do it anymore, maybe the school will fire you. Isn't that right?
Is this a normal thing in the world? I don’t have to report you to school for being a vixen. This metaphor may not be appropriate, but that’s what I mean.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao actually stood up from the table, stood at the table and saluted Cheng Tianle: "Appropriate, very appropriate! Thank you very much!"
Cheng Tianle said thoughtfully: "You thank me for Sister Nangong's matter?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "It's also for myself. There is a principle in this world where things are like their own kind. We can also feel like things are like their own kind."
Cheng Tianle nodded and said: "What a good person! Since we are talking about Nangong Yue today, just make it clear. The task I give you is not only to help her, but also to find out her details.
.Since you know that she is a demon cultivator, what can you tell from the demon cultivator's perspective?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao thought thoughtfully and replied: "She is not deeply involved in the world and is full of curiosity about everything in the world. The guqin teacher I introduced to her knows the art of tea, and she turned out to be more interested in tea art."
Cheng Tianle said calmly: "Go on."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Her innate supernatural power may be good at distinguishing objects, but it's not like me who is better at figuring out people."
Cheng Tianle interjected and asked: "Don't you see what kind of demon cultivator she is?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao said with some surprise: "Of course I can't tell, Mr. Cheng, aren't you asking knowingly?"
Cheng Tianle was very puzzled. He originally thought that Zhang Xiaoxiao's cultivation level was higher than his, and he was born as a fox demon, so he should be able to tell that Nangong Yue was a rabbit demon! However, Zhang Xiaoxiao's tone was very strange. She thought that Cheng Tian
Since Master Le knew the situation, he would certainly know that she couldn't see it, so why bother asking?
But there was nothing strange about him on the surface, and he still said calmly: "Are you asking questions knowingly? I have my own intentions. You can't see it, but you should think carefully about why you can't see it. Maybe there are other reasons.
Enlightenment.”
These words sounded enigmatic, as if they had profound meaning. Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a chill in his heart, frowned and replied seriously: "Compared to ordinary people, demon cultivators do understand demon cultivators better, and it is easier for them to do so."
I am aware of the existence of other demon cultivators. The reason is that we all take human form and mix in the world. We usually pay great attention to the differences between ourselves and other people, and we also better understand the different auras from ordinary people.
There is only one kind of person in the world, and the difference is only in their various temperaments and popularity, but their vitality and characteristics are basically the same. However, the origins of demon cultivators are very different, and no one can fully understand them. Unless they are in a fight.
If the true form is revealed, or there is a special method to expose the spell when casting, it will be difficult to tell the exact origin. Unless the other party is very special, or I am very familiar with this kind of monster. In human terms, a monster looks like a monster.
He is also a monster, but he also chose to transform into a human form to practice."
Cheng Tianle took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhang Xiaoxiao and said: "I want to thank you today. When you first came in, I thought I had figured out something. But after hearing what you said, I realized that I had not fully thought about it just now.
Yes, now I really understand."

ps: Last night at the Chunjiang Restaurant in Beijing, I was drinking and chatting with book friends, talking about many interesting things about reading and writing books over the years. It happened that the demon cultivator appeared in "The Shocking Door", and everyone was encouraged to observe each other - whether there was a "demon" at the table.
"Repair" the traces of drunkenness? Hahahaha, it's so nice to have friends from far away!
Ahem, please give me monthly votes, keep asking for monthly votes!!.
