Chapter 329 Being a Guest
Tianjian Peak.
In the side hall, candlelight flickered. Xu Hanyi and Lin Chuan sat across from each other at the table, before them a home-cooked meal prepared by Jiang Wanying. The dish was ordinary, and the taste was just as ordinary.
"Hey, chicken soup is here."
Jiang Wanying walked over with a smile on her face, holding a large bowl of steaming chicken soup steadily in her hands. After placing the bowl properly, she sat down next to the seat.
"Ying'er's cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they? Why did you keep burning other people's kitchens when you were away with me?"
Xu Hanyi scooped up half a bowl of chicken soup and took a sip, a look of doubt between his brows.
"..."
Jiang Wanying's eyes wandered, her expression unnatural, "Maybe it's because of the unfamiliar climate..."
Jiang Wanying could cook some simple home-cooked dishes, but during the time she was out with Xu Hanyi, she had been researching new dishes.
She originally wanted to wait until Xu Hanyi tasted it and thought it was good, then go back and make it for Lin Chuan.
But unfortunately, she always accidentally burned the kitchen and never completed a new dish, so Xu Hanyi thought she only knew how to cook in the kitchen.
"..."
Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"In fact, Senior Sister is very talented in cooking. She can already prepare a large table of dishes by herself. In time, her cooking skills will definitely be better than those in high-end restaurants."
Lin Chuan took over the conversation, his tone full of confidence and admiration.
Jiang Wanying's eyebrows curved into crescents, and she said with joy, "Of course. I'm also thinking that once my cooking skills improve, I'll make all kinds of delicious food for Master every day, the kind that's different every day!"
"Has Ying'er forgotten Chuan'er?"
Xu Hanyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wanying, his eyes full of confusion.
"I haven't forgotten, but I must first pay my respects to Master."
Jiang Wanying blinked and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"..."
Xu Hanyi didn't say anything. She always felt that compared to Jiang Wanying being able to make all kinds of delicious food in the future, it was more reliable for Lin Chuan to give her ninth-grade elixirs as candy beans in the future.
……
Tianyao Peak.
In a room filled with the aroma of medicine, Li Yue sat quietly at the table, staring blankly at the flickering candlelight, letting the night breeze gently lift and lower the pages of the open medical book.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
Just then, a sudden knock on the door broke the silence in the room.
Li Yue came back to her senses, raised her white wrist slightly, and the originally closed door slowly opened. Ling Yuexi's figure came into view, standing quietly in front of the door.
"Yuexi, is there something you need from me so late at night?"
Li Yue raised her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with gentle inquiry.
"Hehe, I miss Master."
Ling Yuexi smiled and came to Liyue's side in a few steps.
"Master, I remember that I haven't confiscated your storybook recently, right?"
Li Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, a strange look on her face.
"..."
When Ling Yuexi heard this, her smile froze on her face and her eyes unconsciously drifted away.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Yue sighed softly, looking helpless.
"Master Xu Feng brought Senior Sister Jiang to our place today to look for Junior Brother Lin, and they almost went into Master's room."
Ling Yuexi leaned slightly closer, and while speaking, she cautiously stole glances at Li Yue's expression.
"Master knows."
Li Yue's expression was calm, and her tone was indifferent, without any emotion at all.
"Disciple tried to stop him, but Master Xu Feng was so aggressive, and the look in his eyes at that time..."
Before Ling Yuexi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Yue.
"What do you want to say?"
Li Yue frowned slightly and looked straight at Ling Yuexi.
"I feel like Master Xu Feng is probably planning to keep Senior Brother Lin as his companion. Master needs to find a way to recruit Senior Brother Lin quickly, otherwise, when Master Xu Feng eats Senior Brother Lin up completely..."
Ling Yuexi was speaking seriously when she suddenly felt a chill on her head, as if something heavy was about to fall, and she instinctively retreated backwards.
"You still know how to hide? Come here."
Li Yue looked at Ling Yuexi who was dodging away in embarrassment, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Oh."
Ling Yuexi curled her lips and walked towards Li Yue with reluctance on her face.
"boom!"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out in the room. He slowly put away the jade flute in his hand and then spoke earnestly, "Master only treats your Junior Brother Lin as a half-disciple. You are not allowed to say nonsense again. If Xu Hanyi hears this, he will definitely destroy our Tianyao Peak."
"Oh."
Ling Yuexi covered her head and nodded gently, her face showing a well-behaved and obedient look. But in her heart, she didn't believe Li Yue's words at all.
What master and disciple wouldn't be refining the elixir in the alchemy room, but would deliberately go outside? And why didn't the elixir thunder appear earlier or later, only to appear when Xu Hanyi arrived? How could such a coincidence happen!
"Anything else?"
Li Yue looked at Ling Yuexi, who didn't know what she was thinking, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked.
"Ah? No... no more. I'm going to make the elixir. To prevent distraction, I'll leave the script here with you."
Ling Yuexi put the full stack of storybooks on the table with a thud, and without waiting for Li Yue's response, she turned around and ran out in a hurry.
With Ling Yuexi's departure, the room fell silent once again, leaving only the candlelight flickering softly, making subtle crackling sounds.
"Fortunately, I listened to him and didn't go back to my room to rest, otherwise..."
Li Yue shook her head in fear, then her gaze slowly fell on the pile of storybooks on the table.
"If I could go back through time, I would have no regrets."
"?On the day he got married, I regretted it?"
"?He has many wives and concubines, while I am just a passerby?"
……
"???"
"I was wondering why you were so diligent today and even left your storybook with me..."
Li Yue looked at the pile of storybooks with different names but the same themes, and the veins on her forehead began to throb uncontrollably.
……
Tianjian Peak.
In the side hall, the soft candlelight flickered gently, illuminating the surrounding furnishings.
After dinner, Xu Hanyi returned to the main hall. At this moment, only Jiang Wanying and Lin Chuan were left in the room.
"Here, this is the letter Xiaoxiao wrote to you."
Jiang Wanying took out an unopened envelope from the storage space and handed it to Lin Chuan.
"This girl..."
Lin Chuan shook his head gently, his eyes filled with helplessness and gentleness. He only had to glance at the envelope to vaguely guess its contents.
Sure enough, when Lin Chuan slowly opened the envelope, the content of the letter was almost the same as he expected.
In the letter, Ye Xiaoxiao first greeted Lin Chuan, Jiang Wanying, Xu Hanyi, and even Li Jun one by one in a friendly manner.
Then, she enthusiastically began to talk about her recent situation and share the interesting things that happened around her.
At the end of the letter, Ye Xiaoxiao vaguely mentioned that if Lin Chuan felt bored staying at Tianjian Peak, he could visit the demon tribe at any time, and he emphasized the word "at any time".
