This Protagonist Is A Bit Sick!

Ch 23 : Ghost Village (4)

Han Zheng tiredly rubbed his forehead after hearing Liu Xun’s answer.

Nonetheless, he still picked up where their previous conversation was left off,’’ Since we haven’t gotten enough clues, we shouldn’t eliminate the possibility that Ah Luo might be the Jiangshi since his body has never been found, and for now let’s keep the idea of having demonic beasts involved.’’

The rest of the group nodded their heads expressing their understanding but before their talk could go any further, everyone collectively went silent as they detected someone coming their way.

Soon enough, the sound of knocking echoed followed by the village head’s voice,’’ Immortal Daoists, I am here to bring you breakfast.’’

Liu Xun, who was the most mundane person here, took the initiative to open the door with a smile,’’ Aiya, thank you, Mr. Li, you are just right on time, we are getting hungry! Please, come in.’’

As he spoke, he also widened the door revealing the rest of the group who were already seated at the table.

Seeing that there was no contempt on Liu Xun’s face, the village head couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these cultivators would mock him by bringing cheap foods to them so he was already prepared himself to get rejected at the doorstep.

As a result, Li Tao’s expression couldn’t help but loosened as he carefully put down the food on the table, he embarrassedly spoke,’’ I am sorry that I couldn’t prepare you better food and accommodations.’’

Liu Xun nonchalantly waved his hand,’’ Mr. Li, don’t be so polite. We understand your current predicament, it is already kind enough of you to think of us with your situation.’’

As his mouth busied talking, his hands were not idle either as he helped the village head set the table, he proceeded to naturally ask,’’ Mr. Li, have you had your breakfast yet? Also, where are your son and daughter?’’

Li Tao was overwhelmed with his concern since he did not expect people like them to care about him, a mere old man, therefore, he honestly responded,’’ I am going to eat after delivering the food. My daughter is staying with her husband as for my son sigh… that fool is just fooling around somewhere!’’

Seeing that the old man had a frustrated face, Liu Xun lightly patted his back as he consoled,’’ Ai, don’t be angry early in the morning, it is not good for your health. Come, come, sit down, and have breakfast with us.’’

‘’No, how can I–’’

However, Liu Xun would take no for an answer so he half dragged and escorted the old man to sit down on the chair.

How could the old man be an opponent for Liu Xun? So regardless of his will, he was forced to sit down in a daze.

Acting as if he did not see the old man’s unwilling expression, Liu Xun cheerfully gave him a pair of chopsticks with a smile,’’ It is just right, I forgot to tell you that our Su Shixiong’s cultivation is already high enough that he doesn’t need to eat anymore so let’s not waste food.’’

Su Ze who suddenly got cued briefly paused. The right hand that was prepared to grab the chopsticks slowly dropped down, he quietly gave a side glance toward Liu Xun.

Su Ze did not have many expressions so at that moment, no one knew what he was feeling and Liu Xun had no intention of knowing anyways.

Meeting his silent accused gaze, Liu Xun smiled as if nothing happen and suggested,’’ Su Shixiong, how about you go outside and take a walk while we are having breakfast?’’
