Chapter 109 Sir: Out of sight, out of mind
As mentioned before, the reason why a gentleman is called a gentleman is because he likes this title.
He has a twin brother. Due to some special reasons, they don’t know who was born first, but they both want to be the other’s older brother. So, Mr. likes the word "Mr." very much.
Over time, everyone started calling him that.
Anyone who is familiar with Mr. Li knows that he is easy-going and has no airs. The only bad thing about him is that he is a bit conceited.
Well, it is very conceited!
The gentleman is casual in other aspects, except for his appearance, he is a little jealous.
——He doesn’t like men who are too good-looking.
For example, Yan Li, the founder of the Demon Sect, was handsome, had the elegance and grace of a swordsman, and had an outstanding temperament, so he became the least liked one among all the disciples of the master.
The third disciple, Zhuge Laifu, looked rustic, so the teacher always kept him by his side.
Looking at Shen Yan again, the reason why he could sit on the position of sect leader was not only because he had the highest level of cultivation, but also because he looked fierce and ugly, and he didn't even have a single hair. The gentleman thought that was very possible.
Therefore, when the gentleman saw Lu Xun for the first time, he couldn't help but frown and uttered a sound: "Hmm?"
If he were to put it bluntly, his current mood would be - what the hell is this! ?
Lu Xun, who is born with a natural charm of 10, dare not say that he is the most handsome man in the world, but he is definitely tied for first place.
Maybe there are people who can be as good-looking as him, but there is definitely no one who can be better-looking than him.
Therefore, his face and his unique temperament directly touched the gentleman's sensitive nerves.
This look makes me feel offended.
Everyone saluted the gentleman together, and Lu Xun tried his best to be polite and gave the most appropriate and warm smile he could.
He thought his smile was beautiful and perfect, and no elder would dislike it.
The gentleman was becoming increasingly irritated.
He put his hands behind his back, and his white clothes stood out among the black robes. He first asked the second sister, "Xiao Man, have you gained any insights from your meditation during this period?"
"Yes... yes." Second Senior Sister lied.
It was very strange. She originally came to the bamboo forest to meditate in silence, but after Lu Xun went up the mountain, he brought three meals a day to the bamboo forest to eat together, and he would talk to her whenever he had nothing to do. The cold and aloof Second Senior Sister was even a little... used to the hustle and bustle!
She was even a little uncomfortable with the time when Lu Xun was not in the mountain.
After hearing this, the gentleman nodded, then looked at Maonanbei and stretched out his right hand, wanting to rub her cat ears, but Maonanbei dodged it.
“Eh, you don’t even let Mr. Lian jerk off?” Lu Xun suddenly felt balanced.
The gentleman withdrew his right hand awkwardly, but he was not angry.
“Next, it should be my turn.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the gentleman's gaze turned and looked at Xiao Lin Chan beside Lu Xun.
"This is the disciple that my junior brother accepted at the foot of the mountain. Her name is Lin Chan. Sir, can we let her live in the small study as well?" Mao Nanbei blinked his big eyes and started acting cute.
She likes Lin Chan very much. If my husband doesn’t agree, at worst... at worst I can just let him pat my head later!
"Hey, you were born with a sword fetus? Not bad, not bad, stay here." The gentleman said with a smile.
In fact, he was thinking in his heart: "Should I keep this little girl and throw this annoying guy down the mountain?"
It seems that it is not impossible...
At this moment, Lu Xun more or less felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was.
The gentleman waved his sleeves and took the lead, walking up the mountain in small steps, in a gay manner.
Except for the second senior sister who drew a circle in the bamboo forest to make a prison, everyone quickly followed.
Third Senior Brother Zhuge Laifu walked up to Lu Xun, patted him on the shoulder for no apparent reason, and then sighed slightly.
"Junior brother, if you feel a little tired in the future, you might as well come and have a drink with Third Brother." The dark-skinned man suddenly said something without any context, and he spoke in lip language without making any sound. Lu Xun thought for a long time before he figured out what he was saying.
He was confused at the moment and wanted to know urgently what went wrong.
…
…
After reaching the small study on the top of the mountain, the gentleman looked at Lu Xun again, then turned around and walked into the house.
——Out of sight, out of mind!
Third Senior Brother Zhuge Laifu took a deep breath of the fresh air from the back mountain, and after also looking at Lu Xun, he said to him, "Junior Brother, I'm going to go into the kitchen to cook something for everyone. Do you want to come and give me a hand?"
Lu Xun nodded immediately and walked into the kitchen with his third brother.
Based on Mao Nanbei's description of the Third Senior Brother, Lu Xun already had a rough idea of what kind of person the Third Senior Brother was.
He has a very good temper, is passionate about cooking, and likes to study new things, but he is a little forgetful.
Overall, she should be a good person, but these are Mao Nanbei's feelings. This little Lolita lives heartlessly every day and is not very reliable. Lu Xun thinks that he needs to get in touch with her more before he can make a conclusion.
After entering the kitchen, Lu Xun spoke first: "Third Senior Brother, I have been cooking for the two Senior Sisters during this period, so I have used all the utensils in the kitchen. I hope Third Senior Brother will not mind."
"Oh? Junior brother can cook too?" Zhuge Lai Fu asked.
“I only have a little understanding, but mainly I like it.” Lu Xun said casually, but he was actually paying attention.
This sentence touched the heart of the third brother, whose cooking was extremely unpalatable but who loved cooking very much.
Yes, the most important thing is that I like it!
While Lu Xun was helping in the kitchen, he chatted with his third senior brother in a casual manner, and the brothers quickly became closer.
Zhuge Lai Fu thought that his junior fellow apprentice was a wonderful person. What a gentleman liked most were interesting people. It was a pity that... he was too handsome, or impeccably handsome.
Lu Xun actually wanted to ask Third Senior Brother why the master had a different attitude towards him, but he was cautious and felt that asking proactively was not a good idea, so he changed his approach and put on an expression of "wanting to say something but stopping" many times.
The third brother was indeed as honest and kind as Mao Nanbei said. Seeing Lu Xun hesitated to speak several times, he took the initiative to ask: "Little brother, are you thinking about the attitude of the master?"
Lu Xun nodded, but at the same time, he was a little surprised. Is it really okay to talk about the gentleman directly like this?
For a great practitioner, even at such a close distance, couldn't he hear everything?
His thoughts seemed to be seen through by the third brother again. He said, "From now on, as long as the master is not around, the little brother will not have to be too cautious. The master rarely senses his surroundings. He thinks that living like this would be a bit boring."
"So that's how it is... I hope Third Senior Brother can help me clear up my confusion." Lu Xun said to Zhuge Lai Fu.
Zhuge Lai Fu didn't answer right away. He started cooking first. The movements of his hands made Lu Xun feel confused. He couldn't figure out what kind of divine dish Third Senior Brother was going to make. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with mixing these seasonings together?
His rough hands poured the innovative seasoning that he had stirred quickly into the pot after a flash of inspiration. After organizing his words, he told Lu Xun a white lie:
"Little Junior Brother, don't worry. The Master is very kind to every disciple. It's just... it's just that you are so talented and handsome, so the Master may be stricter. So, little Junior Brother, don't think that you are being treated specially in the future. Everything is the Master's good intentions."
“Why do I feel so unconvinced?” Lu Xun complained in his heart.
Zhuge Laifu himself felt that he lacked some persuasiveness, and then he suddenly had an idea and added: "At the beginning, the master's attitude towards the eldest brother was different from that towards us. He was particularly...stern."
"Oh! This is actually happening!" Lu Xun said in his heart.
"Sir, do you think I can reach the same level as the eldest senior brother?" He nodded deeply involuntarily, and suddenly felt that there was some truth in what the third senior brother said.
Inside the room, a gentleman of average height, average looks, and average temperament changed into one white gown after another, looking at himself in the bronze mirror again and again, and the more he looked, the angrier he became...
Should we do something?
