When it was time to cook, Chen Zu'an and Cheng Qiuqiao followed the smell of food and came over. Since they lived next door, they just needed to turn left and enter the canteen.
However, the little fatty was a little worried today. When Lü Shu was eating, he asked curiously, "Is there something on your mind?"
Chen Zu'an looked up suddenly. "Is it that obvious?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Lü Shu said angrily, "Where are you taking food with your chopsticks? You took away all the food that Xiaoxiong Xu put in his bowl! You snatched food from Xiaoxiong Xu's bowl. Are you still human? "
Chen Zu'an turned his head and saw Xiaoxiong Xu looking at him angrily.
"Actually, it's nothing big. I might have to go out in the next two days." Chen Zu'an said, "Someone from my family in the capital has come, but I don't know who it is."
Lü Shu glanced at him and did not ask further. Instead, he said directly, "I don't suggest that the two of you follow me to Lü Zhou. Just stay in Dragon Gate Fortress. Tengra's Earth Net needs you too."
Chen Zu'an buried his head in his food and did not say anything.
The next day, he drove alone to the provincial capital more than 50 kilometers away. Someone was already waiting for him there, but the person did not have the authority to enter Dragon Gate Fortress.
Dragon Gate Fortress was now on high alert. There would be hidden sentries and patrols from Tengra's Earth Net dozens of kilometers away from the city. The checks were very strict.
This was also the reason why Lü Shu believed that the slave masters might not be completely dead. It was to prevent other forces from trying to sneak into Dragon Gate Fortress.
It was only a two-hour drive from Luoyang City to the provincial capital. If they drove fast, they might be able to arrive in one and a half hours.
Unlike Dragon's Gate Fortress, the people here were much more relaxed. No one felt the atmosphere of war. Tengra's Earth Net had already blocked all dangers in front of Dragon's Gate Fortress, and the people here were still celebrating peace.
They did not care too much about how tense the situation in Dragon's Gate Fortress was. In any case, it was fine as long as they could not win. Perhaps if Dragon's Gate Fortress was lost, they might even go online to curse if they still had the chance to do so.
The Chen family had booked the most expensive hotel in the city. It was said that a meal could easily cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Chen Zu'an's family and even Chen Zu'an used to live like this in the past. Chen Zu'an had long gotten used to cheap shredded pork with garlic sauce and eggs with tomatoes. He felt that anything he ate in the small bungalow in Lü Shu was very happy.
When Chen Zu'an was on the phone with the other party, he thought for a while and said, "Let me decide the place. I don't eat expensive food, so there's no need to go to such an expensive place."
He chose a small buffet. After all, he was preparing to go to Lü Zhou. Was it not normal to stock up on food?
When the Chen family arrived, Chen Zu'an was stunned. He did not expect that it would be his fourth uncle, the leader of the Chen family's new generation.
Fourth uncle glanced at the simple entrance of the buffet and frowned slightly, but he did not show too much. Instead, he said to Chen Zu'an with a pleasant expression, "Let's go in and talk while we eat."
He said he would talk while they ate, but Fourth uncle did not plan to take his food at all. In his opinion, the food here was too crude. It might even be hygienic. Only the little fatty kept going back and forth to take plates, as if he was really just here to eat.
This abnormal appetite easily attracted the attention of the waiter …
A long time ago, Chen Zu'an could eat 15 days' worth of food in one go. Now that he had been promoted to a Rank-1 expert, he was not that good, but his appetite had increased. Now, he could eat 150 days' worth of food in one go … This was already enough to fight against a buffet restaurant with his own strength.
Ever since the revival of spirit energy, more and more buffet restaurant owners did not dare to say things like "You might be earning a lot, but I definitely won't lose out."
Of course, the little fatty's special ability was not only used to eat. After all, in the previous battle, he had also displayed a special ability: devouring the energy around him, causing an energy vacuum.
Fourth uncle looked at the way Chen Zu'an was wolfing down his food and said, "I know you might be angry that the family cut off your source of income, but you don't have to overeat like this …"
Chen Zu'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I'm really not angry. I'm preparing to go to Lü Zhou, so I need to save some food in advance. It's not like you don't know what my special ability is like."
"It was your second grandfather's decision to cut off your source of income. We also think that your second grandfather's ideas are a bit old-fashioned, but we can't do anything about it. Don't blame us," Fourth uncle explained patiently.
"Wait." Chen Zu'an grinned and said, "I don't think my second grandfather's ideas are old-fashioned. A few days ago, when the space passage in Lü Zhou opened, my second grandfather almost died in front of Dragon Gate Fortress. It's not good to say that about him."
In fact, Chen Baili's status in the Chen family was very high, but the younger generation did not like him very much. They were more afraid of him than they were respectful.
In the eyes of the younger generation, he was an elder who would never let them speak foreign languages. It was as if he was still living in a few centuries ago.
Previously, a Chen family disciple said, "I want to drink some water."
In the end, Chen Baili almost punched his head out. "If you want to drink plain water, just drink plain water. Don't talk like that!"
At this time, everyone suddenly understood that Second Grandfather could actually understand foreign languages, right?
Chen Zu'an's fourth uncle sized up Chen Zu'an. "I remember that you didn't like your second grandfather very much in the past."
"People change." Chen Zu'an smiled.
"I'll get straight to the point," Fourth uncle said. "We know that the Ninth Tengra will set off for Lü Zhou soon. The Chen family hopes that you won't go because you are now the mainstay of the Chen family. As the saying goes, a man of noble birth should not sit under the eaves, and a man of noble birth should not stand under a collapsing wall. You should not put yourself in danger. Instead, you should focus more on family affairs."
"Fourth uncle." Chen Zu'an put down his chopsticks. "There is nothing in this world that should not be done. If what you said was true, Qiuqiao should not have used her life to forcibly stop two first-grade experts."
As he said this, Chen Zu'an pointed to the pedestrians outside the window. "Isn't the reason why they can shop and eat here with peace of mind because we are blocking in front of them? The war is not over yet, and the Chen family is already planning to extend their hands into the Tengra Earth Net? "
Fourth uncle's expression was as usual. "I hope that the Chen family can make more contributions to the Tengra Earth Net and share some of the pressure for everyone. The family is reasonable. We have no intention of controlling the Tengra Earth Net, and we can't do that. However, you are the person closest to the core circle of the Tengra Earth Net. The family needs you. Your second grandfather has already rejected us. As the younger generation, we can't say anything. We only hope that we can get your understanding. If you are willing, the Chen family is willing to use all our resources to support you in obtaining the position of Tengra Earth Net. "
Chen Zu'an was speechless. He was indeed not an eloquent person. If Brother Tree was here, he would probably be angry with Fourth Uncle.
For some reason, Chen Zu'an suddenly lost his appetite and wanted to return to the Dragon Gate Fortress.
At that moment, Chen Zu'an stood up and was about to leave. Fourth uncle looked at Chen Zu'an sharply. "Do you know what it means to reject the Chen family? Are you worthy of the resources that the Chen family has provided for you over the years? If you leave now, don't call me Fourth Uncle anymore."
Chen Zu'an thought for three seconds and said, "I'm sorry, Fourth Brother."
Fourth uncle was speechless.
