Chapter 90 - 90: 090, [Beautiful Master] (Extra 2/32)
MO Guanji couldn’t understand why the Little Mute, who was a grey title just a few days ago, had suddenly metamorphosed into a blue title?
No wonder this male player named Liu Huangsu was always bugging Lin Chan, perhaps he wanted to trigger some hidden quests.
MO Guanji had a hunch that the transformation of the Little Mute into a blue title NPC was related to the Purple Palace. Who else could have such ability besides him?
He was well aware that the Little Mute was not some hidden NPC with great power. The color of the name merely represented the NPC’s status. Perhaps Lin Chan had risen in status due to some special reason.
But changing from a gray title directly to a blue one, wasn’t that a bit exaggerated?
At this time, the waiter came out from the kitchen with the cooked dishes.
Seeing people disturbing Lin Chan, he quickly came over to shoo them away.
This Liu Huangsu player was quite relentless, but he didn’t dare to go too far. After all, she was a blue title NPC. Although she looked weak, who knows if it’s just a disguise? She might be able to kill him in a single move!
However, he still refused to leave. In the end, he shamelessly said, “This is a restaurant, so I can sit down and eat and drink, right?”
“Oh, resorting to shamelessness now?” The waiter called a few helpers and threw him out directly.
After all, the Lai Fu Restaurant was mainly a base for the Demon Sect, providing a place for them to rest in the city. If it made money, that would be great. If it didn’t, no big deal. They were just that badass!
If they disturbed the rest of the people in the backyard, the waiter wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.
Liu Huangsu was left dumbfounded on the roadside, then he watched wide-eyed as MO Guanji entered without any obstruction.
“Hey? Wasn’t that guy just now also a player? Why is the treatment different for two players!?” Liu Huangsu was a bit confused.
Because MO Guanji had held back, he hadn’t left his game ID when he posted the video on the forum, Liu Huangsu didn’t know that he was the number one sycophant under the Purple Palace.
After all, MO Guanji just wanted to find a girlfriend, attract some private messages from girls, so he didn’t want to reveal his game ID yet so as not to affect his gaming experience.
In his heart, the game always came first.
The only ones who might be able to guess MO Guanji’s real identity were Zhuo Houyi’s Knight Guild, but perhaps in order to curry favor, they did not leak this information.
It has to be said that the Knight Guild’s leader Mei Qianhua, although a bit pushy, was very savvy on the overall situation, he knew how to deal with people.
At this moment, Liu Huangsu had a hunch. He thought that this player named MO Guanji had taken the initiative, had contacted the weak-looking blue title NPC before him. Perhaps he had already activated some hidden quests!
He felt regretful and had to get up to try his luck elsewhere, but he secretly noted the game ID – MO Guanji in his heart.
Meanwhile in the backyard, Lu Xun was slightly surprised to see MO Guanji and Lin Chan come in together.
He thought this guy was planning to sleep on the mountain.
After MO Guanji completed the task, Lu Xun happily gave him experience points, kicked him out at once, and had no intention of inviting him for dinner.
A tool-man like him should be out there thriving hard, trying to trigger more hidden quests, so that I, Lu Xun, can leech off!
Piggybacking quests was too exhilarating, it was becoming slightly addictive.
Of course, before MO Guanji left, Lu Xun told him that he had taken Lin Chan as his disciple.
MO Guanji was just a Sword-serving Child. Although the game system categorized him as a registered disciple, he was indeed only a regular outer sect disciple of the Demon Sect, with just the additional label of Sword-serving Child. So, in terms of seniority, he had to call Lin Chan his master’s uncle.
In fact, not just him, even Ji Li and Murong Yan should call Lin Chan the same.
In MO Guanji’s heart, the image of the Purple Palace had escalated once again.
As soon as the Disciple took in a disciple, he upgraded from a grey title to a blue title instantly. Terrifying!
And Lin Chan, who had abruptly become his master’s uncle, was added to his list of people to fawn over.
After MO Guanji left, Lu Xun saw Lin Chan still standing there with her head down, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “What are you standing there for? Sit down and eat.’
At this time, Ji Li and Murong Yan also smelled the food and sat down merrily on the stone bench, starting to eat as well.
Lin Chan was still the same, she barely served herself any food, only pushing the bowl of white rice in her hand with her chopsticks.
Even though her status had changed, she still couldn’t adapt to it right away, and she maintained her past pitiful posture.
If there were any leftovers later, she would probably start eating.
Lu Xun didn’t say anything, he just kept serving her food.
Despite her emaciated physique, largely due to being weak and sickly since childhood, she couldn’t just not eat any dishes, right?
While he was in the small study on the back mountain, Lu Xun enjoyed feeding his second senior sister and Mao Nanbei. Now that he was off the mountain, he had gained an additional mute disciple to feed, which he found quite amusing.
Although Lin Chan was skinny and small with a poor complexion, her hair was like wild grass lacking any luster, slightly yellowed. But it was clear that she had good foundations. She was currently a pearl covered in dust, but who knows, she might shine brightly one day.
Therefore, feeding her was even more interesting. Lu Xun had a sense of gratification, like he was nurturing something. As a result, he was very enthusiastic about serving her food.
Whatever he served, Lin Chan would eat. Eating and eating, she bent her head lower, almost burying it in her bowl.
Even though she had just met everyone, she could feel everyone’s kindness towards her, including her handsome master who truly cared about her.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, with everyone chatting and laughing. She was mute and couldn’t speak, but just quietly listening and experiencing this liveliness was enough to comfort her.
At this moment, Lin Chan felt a hint of long-lost warmth.
Ever since her grandfather left, she had been alone. She had no more family.
No one served her food anymore, no one told her to eat more, these words that she had once been tired of hearing became priceless once the person who always said these words was gone.
She still remembered the night when her grandfather left, it was a misty rainy night.
The old man was lying on the bed, somewhat delirious, mumbling something in his sleep.
He kept muttering several words, his voice was too faint, and at first, Lin Chan couldn’t hear clearly, thinking that her grandfather was saying “I don’t want to die”.
Only when she leaned closer did she hear clearly. What her grandfather said was:
—”I dare not die.”
He still had a pitiful mute granddaughter, he didn’t dare to die!
Thinking about this, Lin Chan shoveled another big spoonful of rice into her mouth, matched with a piece of vinegar fried chicken served by her handsome master, and swallowed it down hard.
