"Star pattern steel? Good stuff."

Huang Tianbao on the side blurted out.

"Second brother, this is too expensive."

Li Chenglong had never thought that Lin Hu would give such an expensive thing.

Li Chenglong wanted to refuse, but when he thought that it was for Chen Zixuan, he couldn't bear to give it up.

"Seventh brother, no matter how expensive it is, it can't compare to the friendship between us brothers."

Lin Hu smiled and patted Li Chenglong's shoulder with his big hand.

"Yes, yes, the friendship between brothers can't be compared with a mere piece of star pattern steel."

Huang Tianbao said with a smile, but then changed the subject.

"Second brother, I am also going to accept a closed disciple. When will you..."

Huang Tianbao was interrupted by Li Chenglong before he finished speaking.

"Do you think this star pattern steel is a weed on the roadside that can be easily obtained?"

After calming Huang Tianbao down, Li Chenglong looked at Lin Hu and thanked him solemnly.

"Second Senior Brother, I thank you on behalf of my disciple Zixuan."

"What are you being polite about?"

Lin Hu waved his hand carelessly.

"Second Senior Brother, you are breaking the rules, and it makes me feel so uncomfortable."

Third Senior Uncle Shi Han suddenly interrupted at this time.

However, looking at the smile on his face, Chen Zixuan also knew that he was just teasing.

Shi Han reached out and touched Chen Zixuan's head, and then handed over a dark brown lacquered wooden gift box.

"Little Zixuan, this is a gift from your third senior uncle. Although it is not as valuable as your second senior uncle, it is still very suitable for you."

"Thank you, third senior uncle."

Chen Zixuan didn't know what was in it, but he still felt the heavy weight when he touched it.

"Third Senior Brother, the gift is small but the sentiment is great. No matter what it is, it is a token of my heart."

Li Chenglong on the side spoke up quickly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Han did not say much, but just smiled.

After a small episode, the next step was to receive gifts.

The gifts were carefully wrapped, and Chen Zixuan did not know what was inside.

However, Chen Zixuan knew that the things inside must not be ordinary things.

Chen Zixuan was eager to open these gifts, but now was not the right time.

After the gift-giving stage, it was the tempting meal time.

This was also Chen Zixuan's first time to eat in Tianquan Palace.

Chen Zixuan was looking forward to every dish served.

Before the hot dishes were served, eight cold dishes were served first - eight-seed cake, birthday cake, winter melon candy, dried nacai, dried eggplant, dried pumpkin, grapefruit peel, and peanut cake.

Chen Zixuan tasted each one.

Chen Zixuan is a carnivore and doesn't like vegetarian dishes.

"Hmm, hmm, it's quite sweet and delicious."

After trying it, Chen Zixuan felt that it was not that the usual vegetarian dishes were not delicious, but that the cooking methods were not suitable for his taste.

After eight cold dishes, there were eight hot dishes.

The first dish served was Shangqing tofu.

The white and tender tofu was cut into small cubes, and then a small pit was dug in the center, and then filled with meat paste and sprinkled with green onions.

It was delicious and tasty after steaming. If the portion was not large, Chen Zixuan would really want to have another piece.

Then came the eight-treasure chestnuts, Qingxi mandarin fish, Qiankun eggs, honey roasted chicken...

"Hmm, hmm..."

Chen Zixuan found that each dish was very suitable for his taste, and every bite was a delicacy he had never tasted before.

What surprised Chen Zixuan even more was that what was served was not white rice, but a very distinctive eight-treasure rice.

The fragrant eight-treasure rice looks like a thousand-layer cake, with all kinds of preserved fruits on the top.

Under the preserved fruits are fragrant and delicious glutinous rice grains shining with an attractive sauce color.

Every bite is a human enjoyment, and Chen Zixuan ate three bowls in one breath.

Chen Zixuan stopped until his stomach was full and he couldn't digest it for a while.

After eating and drinking, Chen Zixuan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and his chubby little hands kept stroking his protruding belly.

"Beautiful brother."

At this time, a small shout suddenly came from beside Chen Zixuan.

Chen Zixuan turned his head and saw Gao Qimeng, who was eating with a mouth full of oil.

"Let's go play."

Gao Qimeng leaned close to Chen Zixuan and muttered softly.

Chen Zixuan really didn't want to move now because he had just eaten.

However, Gao Qimeng didn't give Chen Zixuan time to think.

In her opinion, not objecting meant agreeing, and the next second she reached out and grabbed Chen Zixuan's wrist, pulling Chen Zixuan down from the high chair.

Chen Zixuan let out a muffled groan where he landed.

The sudden sound startled Chen Zixuan himself.

Chen Zixuan lowered his head and wanted to seeWhen he looked at his toes, it was a pity that he couldn't see them.

"Am I fat, or am I eating too much? Or both?"

Before Chen Zixuan could think about it, Gao Qimeng pulled Chen Zixuan out of the hall.

Chen Zixuan's apprenticeship ceremony looked very lively, but for the entire Tianquan Palace, it was just a corner of the noise.

For most people on Tianquan Peak now, they were not qualified to participate in Chen Zixuan's apprenticeship ceremony.

Gao Qimeng was much more familiar with Tianquan Palace than Chen Zixuan.

Gao Qimeng held Chen Zixuan's hand and kept walking through one portal after another.

As they went around in circles, Chen Zixuan didn't know where he was now.

"Hua La La..."

There was a noisy sound in front, and the children's laughter seemed to pierce the sky.

The next moment, a small playground appeared in Chen Zixuan's eyes.

In the center of Chen Zixuan's vision is a seesaw, on the left is a swing, and on the right is a large sand pool.

Behind the seesaw is a large carousel.

There are about dozens of children playing in the playground.

At first, the children who were focused on playing did not notice the arrival of Gao Qimeng and Chen Zixuan.

As Gao Qimeng pulled Chen Zixuan closer, a child finally noticed.

"The female devil is coming!"

I don't know which naughty boy suddenly shouted.

The next moment, the whole lively playground suddenly became quiet.

All the children looked at Gao Qimeng at the same time.

Gao Qimeng turned her eyes to Chen Zixuan as if she didn't notice anything.

"Beautiful brother, what do you want to play?"

Chen Zixuan, who realized it later, casually pointed to the seesaw next to him.

"Sister Xiaomeng, I want to play that."

"Okay, let's go."

Gao Qimeng's face was full of bright smiles, and she didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Is this little Loli so strong mentally? Or is she used to being treated like this by other children?"

As Chen Zixuan walked, he thought silently in his heart, and a feeling of pity arose spontaneously.

Chen Zixuan, who originally wanted to fool around, felt that he needed to play with Gao Qimeng properly.
