Jiang Qingcheng smiled slightly and said earnestly, "If you really like Lao Xu's cooking, then you can come and eat here every day. If you find it inconvenient, you can ask Jiang Chen to find you a chef like Lao Xu, so you can enjoy delicious food anytime, anywhere."

“But where can we find a chef like Lao Xu? Let’s just forget about it. We can just come to my place whenever we’re craving something sweet,” Rongrong said with a smile.

If she were to ask Jiang Chen to find another chef like Lao Xu, it would probably cost a considerable amount of money. Unlike her older sister and brother-in-law, she and Jiang Chen didn't have a wealthy family background, so after thinking about it, she decided against it.

It's such a waste to spend so many spirit stones just to satisfy a momentary craving.

The main problem is that they don't have the economic foundation, so it's more satisfying to just take what's readily available.

"Sister and brother-in-law, thank you for your hospitality today. If there's nothing else, Rongrong and I will head back now," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile and a calm expression.

"You two are really something, taking advantage of me and then just walking away, acting like you own the place," Jiang Qingcheng said, pouting and feigning anger.

"Haha, sister, we're not strangers at all," Jiang Chen said with a hearty laugh, not angry at all.

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Qingcheng's reply, he swaggered away with Rongrong.

--------------------

After Jiang Chen and his wife left, Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng planned to rest for a while.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Qingcheng asked in confusion.

She didn't know who might come looking for her at this time.

"I was sent by Elder Liu. Is Chief Gu here? Our elder has something to discuss with Chief Gu." A young man's voice rang out from outside the door, asking very politely.

"He's here. Wait a moment while I go call him," Jiang Qingcheng said through the door.

"Your husband came to see Elder Liu. Why don't you go out and check?" Jiang Qingcheng told Gu Changqing immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

He then went out the door with the man.

"Do you know what Elder Liu wants to see me about?" Gu Changqing asked curiously as they walked down the street.

"As for what the chief said, this disciple doesn't know. Elder Liu only asked me to pass on a message and didn't say anything else," the disciple replied solemnly.

"Oh, you look so unfamiliar. I've never seen you before," Gu Changqing smiled and asked casually.

Gu Changqing asked this question because he had met all the disciples who came when Elder Liu sent people to invite him before. Although he did not know their names, he had met them a few times and they all looked very familiar.

He had never seen this disciple before; he looked very unfamiliar, which was why he had such doubts.

The reason he was so cautious was that he was afraid this person was a spy sent by the six major demonic sects, so it was always better to be careful.

"It's normal that Chief Gu doesn't remember me, since I've never shown my face in front of you before. It's perfectly normal that Chief Gu isn't familiar with me," the disciple replied with a slight smile and a serious expression.

“Yes, what you said makes sense. I was overthinking it. But why did Elder Liu suddenly change the disciple? Did the previous disciple do something wrong?” Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile, very naturally.

"Chief Gu is truly a prophet; you guessed it all correctly, which is why Elder Liu sent his disciple over." The disciple smiled and spoke very respectfully, explaining everything in detail.

“Yes, if he didn’t make a mistake, how could you have taken over his job?” Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said casually.

He had initially suspected that this disciple might be a spy planted by the six major demonic sects.

Now it seems he might have been overthinking things.

Gu Changqing's cultivation was incredibly powerful; he was a Celestial Emperor-level being. Even a Great Emperor could sense him completely in an instant, let alone this mere disciple. Indeed, he had no trace of demonic aura about him.

Furthermore, if this disciple possessed demonic aura, even if he concealed it deeply, Gu Changqing would still be able to detect it easily with his abilities.

After thinking about this, Gu Changqing completely ruled out any suspicion of this Ming disciple.

Although he was cleared of suspicion, Gu Changqing still felt nothing for this person.

Gu Changqing was also puzzled as to why he had this feeling.

What he didn't know was...

At this moment, the disciple lowered his head slightly and revealed a strange smile.

Unfortunately, Gu Changqing didn't see what he looked like at that moment; if he had, he would have definitely sensed that something was wrong.

Before long, Gu Changqing arrived at the sect's main hall.

Elder Liu was pacing back and forth in the main hall when he saw Gu Changqing from afar. Overjoyed, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Chief Gu, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Elder Liu, what important matter has summoned me here?" Gu Changqing asked directly.

"I have important matters to discuss with Chief Gu. You may leave now!" Elder Liu was about to speak when he suddenly saw the disciple and instructed him.

"Yes, disciple takes his leave." The disciple said respectfully.

After watching the disciple leave, Gu Changqing said with a smile, "Now there are no outsiders, just the two of us. Say what you need to say quickly."

"Alas, don't even mention it. I've lost something quite important," Elder Liu sighed, looking helpless.

"What important thing could make Elder Liu so worried? I've never seen you like this before. It's just a lost item, so what? Why are you making such a fuss?" Gu Changqing smiled faintly and teased him without a care.

At this moment, Gu Changqing didn't know what Elder Liu had lost. He thought it was just Elder Liu making a fuss and exaggerating, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Chief Gu, please stop teasing me. If you knew what you'd lost, you wouldn't be laughing so carefree," Elder Liu said with a wry smile.

"What is there for me to not laugh about? No matter what is lost, it's not like I lost it. What do I have to worry about?" Gu Changqing said dismissively.

"Yes, it's not like you lost it, so of course you don't have to take responsibility. I'm mainly afraid that if the sect leader finds out, he'll definitely blame me." Elder Liu sighed again, looking helpless and remorseful.

"Elder Liu, stop complaining and blaming yourself. What did you lose that's making you so distraught? Tell me! If I can help, I will do my best. But if you don't tell me, I can't help even if I wanted to." Gu Changqing said impatiently to Elder Liu's half-dead state.

Gu Changqing was curious about what exactly was missing that could make Elder Liu so distraught and sighing.
