The time to come to the kitchen to pick up the food does match.

Five or six o'clock is fine.

Seven or eight o'clock is fine.

These are the places where many servants and maids come to pick up their meals.

However, although there were many servants and maids coming here to get food, it was rare to see a young master of the Xiao family like Lin Chaoci who got his own food.

It’s not that there weren’t some in the past.

It's just that I don't see many people in a week.

Probably because of this, she attracted the attention of many servants and maids nearby.

Of course, nothing unexpected happened.

Even though more than two months had passed, the image of Lin Chaoci holding a bamboo pole, knocking down several people in succession, defeating the Xiao family's number one genius Xiao Yan with one blow, and then leaving in a chic manner with his maid, was still imprinted in the memories of these house-born children.

I saw it with my own eyes that day.

Goodbye Lin Chaoci.

Everyone was trembling with fear.

Those who left earlier or came later that day, even if they didn't know what happened that day, only heard that it was a gang fight, because the senior leaders of the Xiao family issued a gag order and even beat two servants to death with sticks to intimidate the rest of the servants with their blood. Therefore, those who were not in the know naturally didn't know what Lin Chaoci did that day, but as house-born children, they still had the ability to observe words and expressions. Seeing that other people didn't say anything and even showed awe of the young master of the Xiao family, even if they didn't know the reason, they followed suit and avoided him.

It is normal to say what should be said or not.

Lin Chaoci didn't care about these things.

I don't care what these people think.

Going to the cafeteria, which is the kitchen, he habitually called it the cafeteria. It might be because he was a time traveler, he was used to it.

Anyway, I went there, got a bowl of porridge, and ordered two baskets of buns.

The whole basket was eaten on the spot.

Naturally, the bowl of porridge was not spared.

As for the remaining basket of buns, I naturally packed them up and took them back.

The girl Xiaodie guarded the door for him all night.

Although it is not necessary.

Because after closing the door, he went to the martial arts plane.

It’s like Xiaodie is guarding an empty house.

But people are all made of flesh and blood, and to be honest, it feels really good to have a little girl who, although a little stupid, is obedient and loyal enough to take care of small things and trivial matters for him.

He doesn't treat her as his sister.

Their relationship hasn't reached that point yet.

Besides, there are many examples of siblings turning against each other for personal gain. Blood ties are often not as strong as imagined. On the contrary, family affection, or personal emotion, can sometimes hold a person back from moving forward.

However, the art of controlling subordinates can be used but cannot be trusted.

He treated Xiaodie like a normal person.

To put it bluntly, it is like the employment relationship between a boss and an employee.

Employees work overtime for themselves.

It’s on the way again.

If you cannot provide subsidies, buying some lunch boxes or coffee is the most basic work quality of a boss, even if it is just to stabilize people's hearts and allow employees to work harder for you.

It can even be said that smart bosses will take a two-pronged approach.

One is subsidies.

One hand is favor.

It doesn't mean to please employees in this way, nor does it mean to influence employees in this way, hoping that they can share the joys and sorrows with you as the boss. Instead, it means that as long as these employees do not drag their feet, do not slack off, and maintain the most positive state to create profits for you, that is the core purpose of the two-pronged approach.

So, it’s not difficult to bring a few buns.

As for whether Xiaodie will be touched.

Lin Chaoci never wanted that kind of thing.

Obviously, this matter is not important.

However, when Lin Chaoci returned to his doorstep, he discovered that an expected accident had happened right before his eyes!

"Chao Ci...cousin?"

Half surprise, half awe, and a hint of anxious inquiry came out of Xiao Yu's mouth, who shouldn't have been here.

The little maidservant beside her was also feeling uneasy.

Standing at the door.

Carrying an elegant wooden box.

Seeing his own young lady, Xiao Yu, going to the other party to plead for mercy.

Lin Chaoci never fights a battle he is not sure of winning.

Therefore, I silently wave the brush in my heart.

I checked the reason why Xiao Yu appeared here.

Then, she shook her head speechlessly, raised the bun in her hand, and gestured, "If it's nothing, can you please make way for me, cousin? Xiaodie hasn't eaten yet. I was in seclusion yesterday to condense the Dou Qi cyclone, and this girl stayed with me all night. This morning, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, so I brought her a meal back."

"Cousin... even if you are my sister... just treat me as your cousin, I beg you!"

Xiao Yu's emotions were already unstable.

It feels like being roasted on a fire.

Although she knew that the other party was not to blame for this matter, her cousin Xiao Chaoci was also a victim, and his identity was exposed by her stupid brother without any provocation, but as the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must untie it. If the other party does not speak up, her stupid brother must bear the punishment according to the clan rules. The lightest punishment is life imprisonment, and the worst is beating to death in public. It can be said that his life is hanging by a thread now!

How could she, her own elder sister, possibly sit still?

It was for this reason that Xiao Yu let go of his pride.

Visit in person.

Ask Lin Chaoci for help.

However, no matter what, Xiao Yu's age and life experience are still too little. After all, she is just an eight-year-old girl. Even though she has a strong personality, her views on many issues are still immature. In her panic, she couldn't even use her words flexibly. She only remembered to ask Lin Chaoci and completely forgot to explain the matter.

It is worth mentioning that the little maid behind Xiao Yu is also useless. Although she is not very old, one cannot expect a ten-year-old child to explain the cause, process and result of the matter in detail. She is just trying to comfort Xiao Yu, which is completely a waste of time.

Looking at these two little girls crying on their own.

Lin Chaoci couldn't help but sigh.

He had nothing to say.

I just feel a little tired.

She snapped her fingers and used some tricks to divert Xiao Yu's attention from the original incident to herself, and then said: "Cousin, I know what happened. When Xiao Xun'er came to visit me, I had already guessed it... However, I don't like my life rhythm to be disrupted by others, and I don't like others crying in front of my door, because if I do so, some uninformed people will think that the person living in this house is dead... Of course, I'm not the kind of person who will watch someone die without helping. I just hope that cousin, you can think about it carefully. How did you, who are still in the Dou Qi stage, hide it from your grandfather, the great elder of the Dou Master, and then, run to me without any obstacles or accidents, and beg me for mercy?"

Lin Chaoci's question successfully made Xiao Yu's brain, which was on the verge of freezing due to his anxiety, start working again, and think subconsciously.

And Xiao Yu was thinking about this.

Let’s follow Lin Chaoci’s question.

I immediately guessed an unbelievable possibility.

Lin Chaoci also saw from Xiao Yu's changing expressions that Xiao Yu had guessed the truth, but he did not leave Xiao Yu any room for luck, and said mercilessly: "Yes, your grandfather does not want to punish your brother Xiao Ning with the clan rules, because he knows very well, including you and me and everyone else, what will happen to your brother Xiao Ning once the clan rules are used... So, he can only choose a middle method, punishing Xiao Ning privately, just like you saw, hanging Xiao Ning on the tree and whipping him, while hinting to you, or betting that you will come to me for mercy, because as long as I let go, everything will be fine... To be honest, I hate the feeling of being calculated by others, even if it involves a life, it does not affect my hatred of this feeling. At the moment, your arrival not only disturbs my daily life, but also wants me to put down the things in my hands and play this scene with you while seeing through this self-torture scheme... Although you don't mean it, I am really unhappy!"

Watching Lin Chaoci open the gate.

Xiao Yu, who had remained silent, immediately felt his knees go weak.

He was about to kneel down and beg Lin Chaoci.

However, just an inch above the ground, a transparent energy force was blocking Xiao Yu's white knees, preventing her from moving, which was equivalent to rejecting the gift.

This made Xiao Yu despair for a while.

Because if Lin Chaoci decided to pursue the matter.

Paper cannot hold fire.

According to previous statements, even if her grandfather tried to save Xiao Ning's life by beating him up, her brother Xiao Ning would still die if the matter followed clan rules and went public. They didn't even give her a chance to apologize. In other words, it was clear that they were determined to keep holding on to this matter!

However, there is a sudden turn of events!

Lin Chaoci's next words reached Xiao Yu's ears like the sound of nature, so that Xiao Yu was stunned at first, and then burst into tears of joy!

"Okay...it's not a big deal."

"Don't say it's a done deal. Even if nothing happened, it wouldn't cost him his life just because of a few words, not to mention that they are all relatives."

"Give me a few minutes."

"Wait for me to wake Xiaodie up for dinner."

"Then I'll go take a look."

"You could also say it's a hypocritical attempt to persuade someone."

"It can be considered as a few more whips to teach him a lesson. The Great Elder has already set up the stage, and I feel embarrassed to refuse... Although I don't have the idea or hobby of being someone's savior, it does feel good to save people from danger."

"Anyway, just stop bothering me here."

"Just wait quietly for a few minutes."

"Also take back the little gold and silver treasures in the box in the hand of your personal maid. You don't need to learn the art of gift-giving at such a young age. Besides, it's not right to use the art of gift-giving in such matters... In matters involving human lives, you can only owe favors. As for how many people are willing to help you, it's your conscience that determines whether you know how to repay a favor... However, given that we are cousins, even if you have no conscience, I will not sit idly by as long as it does not harm my personal interests. After all, no matter what, the gag order was only issued by Uncle Xiao Zhan and your grandfather, the Great Elder. From the beginning, my attitude was neither support nor opposition... In this way, if something goes wrong, it won't hurt to save them."

Lin Chaoci said this and pushed open the door.

Get into it.

Wake up Xiaodie who had taken a nap for an hour.

He didn't mean to ask her to get up immediately, but just told her that the food was on the table and she should remember to eat it after she woke up. He was going to help a cousin with a small problem, and if he couldn't come back, she could just make her own lunch and dinner, and she didn't have to bring her own portion.

Then he went out.

Close the door.

Take good care of the main gate, which is the gate to the courtyard.

Leading Xiao Yu and the maid behind Xiao Yu.

It took about ten minutes to arrive outside the courtyard where the great elder was.

Entered the courtyard.

Look up.

His upper body had been stripped naked, leaving only a pair of pants on his lower body. His hands were tied up and tied to a tree branch, or rather hung up. Xiao Ning was bleeding, his skin torn, and his head lowered, and it was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive. He was seen in such a shocking way that Xiao Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth, fearing that if she was not careful, she would scream.

And under the tree.

He is the great elder holding a long whip.

His face was ashen.

You can even see the twitching blue veins on the forehead.

Raise your hand.

The long whip turned into a shadow.

There was a sound explosion.

It fell on Xiao Ning without any pretense.

Xiao Ning twitched subconsciously like a fish out of water. Then, under Xiao Yu's frightened gaze, he relaxed unconsciously, just like a rotten salted fish.

However, this is just cruelty in Xiao Yu's eyes.

Because Xiao Yu never thought about it at all.

Her grandfather, the Great Elder, is a fighting master.

What is this concept?

Let’s put it this way, the Great Elder can now, if he picks up a leaf at random, cut off a flying knife made of fine iron with the infusion of fighting spirit!

If he was really serious, Xiao Ning would have been broken into two pieces with one whip!

I'll break all your bones!

Torn apart?

Bleeding profusely?

Just kidding?

Isn't it too careless in acting?

However, Lin Chaoci didn't have much to say, and was too lazy to expose this little trick. He bowed and greeted the great elder normally, because in terms of seniority, this person could be considered his great uncle.

Then, let’s get to the point.

He shook his sleeves casually.

The fighting spirit cut the rope that bound Xiao Ning's hands, which was also the rope that hung Xiao Ning on the tree branch, across dozens of meters.

Then, he said in a deep voice: "Cousin Xiao Yu has already told me about this matter... Young Mu Ai did nothing wrong. Although he violated the clan rules, the law is nothing more than human feelings. Considering the fact that cousin Xiao Ning made an inadvertent slip of the tongue, this matter ends here. At most, we can learn from it... In addition, I have another rigid requirement for this trip, that is, I have condensed the Dou Qi Cyclone and become a one-star Dou practitioner. I hope that you, uncle, can give me the permission to consult the practice method."

In fact, the latter demand is just an excuse.

Because when normal people talk, they never plead for someone first and then put forward conditions. They also put forward conditions that the family will satisfy even if they don’t say it deliberately, and they even make it a standard for everyone.

However, it doesn’t matter whether the routine is old or not.

It's easy to use.

The Great Elder was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed.

He immediately put the matter of punishing Xiao Ning behind his mind and confirmed: "Have the clan leaders known about this? It was really a coincidence... Well, you may not know that Xiao Xun'er is not from our Xiao family. She contacted you with a purpose. Her father is a Dou Wang and left five Qi Gathering Powders to our Xiao family. It is a pill that can help people condense Dou Qi 100%... Originally, I planned to give one to you and Xiao Yan, and keep the remaining three to see if there are any talents worth cultivating in the clan. I didn't expect that it would lead to such a disaster later... Xiao Ning, why don't you quickly apologize to your cousin Chao Ci?"

"sorry!"

Xiao Ning's knees went weak as Xiao Yu helped him up.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

At that time, sperm was on my brain.

After being hung up and beaten by his own grandfather, he learned about Xiao Xun'er's identity from his grandfather, such as her father was a Dou Wang. He had long come to his senses and knew that he had made a big mistake and was almost going to bury his own genius here. He was filled with remorse. Then he saw Lin Chaoci being invited by his sister to plead for him regardless of the past, and even became a Dou Zhe with a talent that was despairing. He immediately bowed down in submission, and tears of half pain and half fear burst out of his eyes. He wailed and hoped that Lin Chaoci could accept this useless apology, because he now knew very well that the apology was too late!

The rice has been cooked!

There's no use apologizing!

But apart from his apology, he only had his life left!

He can't do anything now!

There is no way to save the disaster caused by him!

However, Lin Chaoci did not push his luck any further.

Instead, he shook his head, stretched out his hands, and helped the bleeding Xiao Ning up: "No one can be perfect in life. The most important thing is to admit your mistakes and correct them. Just don't make the same mistake again next time... Also, you should be thankful that the mistake you made this time didn't hurt anyone, such as getting me hurt. If the mistake you made would hurt other people, it wouldn't be as easy to settle the matter as it is now... Every failure makes you wiser. Consider this beating as a lesson."
