It was still early when we came out of Spirit Pagoda Headquarters. Na'er grabbed Gu Yue's arm and walked in front, saying all the way that he had to wait until Li Chen woke up and he had to do enough shopping today.
Gu Yue allowed her to pull him, and his pace remained steady. He just stopped for a step when passing a newly opened snack shop, and waited for Na'er to finish picking out three packages of chicken wishbones before continuing to move forward.
The prosperity of Shrek City Commercial Street ranks among the best in the entire continent.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the Soul Guidance signboard is shining in the sun.
Na'er bought a bunch of things, and Li Chen followed behind to pay and carry the bags.
After turning two streets, Na'er stopped in front of a dessert shop.
The store has a small facade. The signboard reads "Lengxiang Cottage" and there is a tiny snowflake emblem in the lower right corner, which is the industrial logo of the Leng Family.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see that there are only three or four tables of guests sitting inside, and the environment is quiet.
"This is the store. Aunt Leng brought me here last time. Their ice cream is particularly delicious." Na'er opened the door and walked in. The store was filled with a light aroma of milk and sweet honey.
She chose a seat by the window and sat down. Gu Yue sat opposite. Li Chen put the large and small bags in her hands on the chair next to her and sat down. Facts have proved that no man can accompany a girl shopping.
Standing behind the counter was a slender young man wearing a neat clerk's uniform, wiping cups.
Seeing the three people coming in, the boy put down the cup in his hand, picked up the menu and walked over with a clear and gentle voice. "What do you want to order?"
Li Chen raised his head and glanced at the young man, his eyes resting on his face for a moment.
He took the menu, and each of the three ordered an ice cream cheese, and Na'er ordered an extra one.
After the ice cream was served, Na'er took a big spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, narrowing his eyes with satisfaction.
The young clerk returned to the counter and continued wiping the cups, doing so seriously and attentively, occasionally looking up to see the needs of the customers in the store.
"What did you say you learned this year?" Na'er asked vaguely, "What are they specifically?"
Li Chen was about to speak when the door of the dessert shop was suddenly pushed open.
It's not the kind of push that ordinary guests would use to get in.
The sound of the door hitting the wall made all the customers in the store raise their heads.
A blond young man strode into the store, wearing a Holy Angel Family standard white robe with an angel emblem on his chest. His face was handsome, but at the moment he had an aggressive expression.
He rushed straight to the counter and grabbed the young clerk's wrist with such force that the cup in his hand shattered to the ground.
"Don't think I can't recognize you after you change your uniform!" The blond young man pulled the boy out from behind the counter with a loud voice that could be heard by the entire dessert shop.
"The Evil Soul Master aura on your body cannot be hidden from me! Holy Angel Family's perception of the evil aura has never been wrong. Just go back with me and accept the investigation. If there is no problem, I will personally apologize to you, but now, you can't escape from under my nose again!"
Yuanen Yehui was dragged by him and staggered, and there were already red marks on his fair wrists.
Her eyebrows frowned slightly, obviously she was in severe pain, but she neither struggled nor defended loudly, she just whispered, "I said I am not Evil Soul Master, you have the wrong person."
"Wrong person? I've been following you for three whole streets, and with the aura on your body, do you dare to admit that you are wrong?" Yue Zhengyu sneered, and put a little more force on his hand. Yuanen Yehui bit his lower lip, and a thin layer of water appeared in his eyes, but he managed to hold it back.
Several customers around looked at each other in confusion. A middle-aged woman couldn't stand it and wanted to stop her, but she was glared back by Yue Zhengyu.
Li Chen put down the ice cream spoon in his hand.
He knew this blond young man. Yue Zhengyu, the direct descendant of the Holy Angel Family generation, Martial Soul is Six-Winged Angel, Youth Genius Ranking ranked in the top twenty.
This dessert shop is called "Lengxiang Cottage", and the snowflake emblem on the signboard represents the industry of the Leng Family.
If word spreads about arresting Leng Family's clerk on the Leng Family's territory, regardless of whether Yuanen Yehui is Evil Soul Master, where will Leng Family's face be put? Where will Leng Yaozhu's face be put?
He stood up, walked to the counter, and stood between Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu.
"Let go."
Yue Zhengyu frowned and glanced at him. "Who are you? This is none of your business, get out of the way."
"This store is Leng Family's property. The people you arrested are Leng Family's employees. It is inappropriate to arrest Leng Family's people on the Leng Family's territory." Li Chen's tone was flat.
Yue Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Leng Family? Leng Family can protect Evil Soul Master? I, Holy Angel Family, have inherited it for ten thousand years, and my perception of evil aura is never wrong! The aura in her body is clearly the path of Evil Soul Master, why do you block me?"
"Just because I am stronger than you." Li Chen said.
This was said so naturally that Yue Zhengyu was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been provoked.
He sneered, pushed Li Chen's shoulder away with his left hand, slightly opened the five fingers of his right hand, and directed a golden Soul Power towards Yuanen Yehui's face. He wanted to force out the Evil Martial Soul that he thought the other party was hiding on the spot.
Li Chen didn't hide. He didn't even take action, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at Yue Zhengyu, Fortune Exchange, Causality Substitution.
The golden Soul Power disappeared into thin air three feet away from the door facing Yuanen Yehui.
The next moment, the Soul Power regrouped from behind Yue Zhengyu and hit his own back firmly.
Yue Zhengyu groaned, and was hit by his own Soul Power. He staggered forward three steps, knocking over an empty table, and the teacups and saucers shattered on the floor.
He held onto the table to steady his body and turned to look at Li Chen, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You, what kind of magic are you using?"
"Holy Angel Family's Soul Power sense is really powerful and can sense evil auras. But your sense can only determine the direction of the aura, not the cause of the deviation. The aura in Yuanen Yehui's body is biased toward dark attributes, but the dark attributes are not the same as Evil Soul Master. If you just arrest people without this ability to distinguish, I'm afraid your Holy Angel Family brand is hanging crookedly." Li Chen said.
Yue Zhengyu's face turned blue and white. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand to gesture towards the door. Standing at the door was an old man in gray robe, who was Yue Family's housekeeper. He had been waiting quietly by the door since Yue Zhengyu rushed in, neither interfering nor making a sound.
At this moment, seeing that his young master was exhausted, he walked in slowly.
His eyes paused on Yuanen Yehui for a moment, then looked at Li Chen, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
He recognized Li Chen.
Youth Genius Ranking topped the list, Xuanming. Skysea Alliance Grand Tournament crushed Shrek One-Word Battle Armor Master, Leng Yaozhu was the first of the three young geniuses personally trained.
Leng Family plays an important role in Spirit Pagoda. As the most dazzling representative of the Leng Family genre, Li Chen represents Leng Family in a sense. 's face. Although Yue Zhengyu is also a direct descendant of the Holy Angel Family, but fighting with the Leng Family is not something that should be done on this occasion at least.
The housekeeper walked up to Yue Zhengyu and said a few words in a low voice.
Yue Zhengyu's expression changed from anger to unwillingness, and from unwillingness to forbearance.
After hearing this, he glared at Li Chen and said in a strong tone, "There is indeed something wrong with the aura in her body. Even if the dark attribute is not equal to Evil Soul Master, the suspicion cannot be completely ruled out."
"I can guarantee whether she has any problems. If she really causes any trouble in the future, you can come to me." Li Chen said.
These words were very plain, but they carried a lot of weight. Yue Zhengyu stared at Li Chen for several seconds, then suddenly let go of Yuanen Yehui's wrist and took two steps back.
He lowered his head and looked at the broken cups and saucers on the ground, then glanced at Yuanen Yehui, his tone still strong.
"I admit it this time. But if she really causes any trouble in the future, I will come to arrest her. Holy Angel Family will never let go of its targets easily."
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the dessert shop. The butler bowed slightly to Li Chen, then followed Yue Zhengyu and disappeared around the corner.
The dessert shop was quiet for a few moments. The remaining customers breathed a sigh of relief, and the waiter quickly stepped forward to clean up the overturned tables and chairs and the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
Yuanen Yehui squatted down and silently picked up the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground, his fingers still trembling slightly.
Li Chen sat down on the empty chair next to her and pushed over an untouched cup of tea.
"They're gone."
Yuanen Yehui took the teacup, held it in both hands, and slowly tightened her slender fingers. She was silent for a while before speaking, in a low voice. "Thank you." After a pause, she added,
"I'm not Evil Soul Master. The aura in my body is indeed dark, but it comes from my family's blood. Because of this, I have moved to three places. It was Leng Family who took me in and let me work here... I don't want to cause trouble to the Leng Family."
"Aunt Leng Do you know?"
Yuanen Yehui shook his head. "I didn't dare to tell Deputy Tower Master Leng. I just came here not long ago, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep this job if I spoke out."
"She will know. Leng Family never recruits people based on their birth attributes. The fact that you can work in this store means that Leng Family has recognized you as a person. As for that Yue Zhengyu, you can notify me directly next time he comes." Li Chen said.
Yuanen Yehui raised her head and glanced at him, then nodded. She stood up, threw the broken porcelain pieces into the trash can, and took a rag to wipe the water stains on the counter. Her movements were much more agile than before.
Na'er held it in for a long time and finally intervened. "What was the name of that guy just now? Yue Zhengyu? Is this what Holy Angel Family is like? He grabbed the little girl's wrist when he came up and didn't even give any evidence..."
"How do you know she is a little girl?" Gu Yue turned over a page of the book and spoke calmly.
"Nonsense, look at her thin wrists, neck, and Adam's apple. Which man is like this?" Na'er pointed at Yuanen Yehui confidently,
"Besides, if she was really a man, when her wrist was pulled, her first reaction would be to 'let go' instead of punching her back? From a behavioral point of view, it is 100% that she is a woman disguised as a man."
Gu Yue: "It's actually enlightening!"
Li Chen: "Emm..."
