Chu Yucheng listened with great interest, but Chu Hongcai, who was standing to the side, was furious. He snorted and turned to leave.

Chu Hongcai's anger level increased by 999!

Chu Yucheng quickly pulled him back and said to Zu'an, "Azu, you know he's a huge fan of Qiu Honglei, so he might not be able to accept this right now. Don't take it too seriously; he's not targeting you."

Zuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I was just kidding. Yesterday, I went boating on the river with Qiu Honglei, but we suddenly ran into the bandits of Black Wind Village. We barely escaped with our lives. It was incredibly unlucky."

"Ah? What about Miss Qiu?" Chu Hongcai asked anxiously.

Zuan couldn't help but say, "You ungrateful wretch, shouldn't you care about me first?"

Chu Hongcai muttered, "Weren't you perfectly fine here?"

"Don't worry, your Miss Qiu is fine. A mysterious person came to our rescue along the way, and then the city defense troops arrived, and the notorious thief Chen Xuan fled," Zu An explained, half-truthfully.

"Chen Xuan has come in person!" Chu Yucheng exclaimed. "That guy has robbed our Chu family's caravans several times. The Chu family has tried to surround and kill him several times but failed. He actually dared to come to Mingyue City."

Last night, after leaving Shenxianju, Chu Hongcai went to drown his sorrows and got drunk, so he went with him. The two of them got drunk and didn't return until almost dawn, so he wasn't very clear about what happened last night.

Chu Hongcai nodded in agreement, saying, "I went with him to participate in several raids, but unfortunately, that guy is as slippery as an eel, and no one has ever seen his true face."

Zuan's expression was strange: "Actually, you two have met before."

"We've met before?" The two looked completely bewildered.

“Not only have we met, we’ve even fought,” Zuan said with a smile. “He’s the redhead who fought with you guys in the building last night.”

"It's him!" The two of them exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Yucheng cursed, "That guy was obviously no good. I never expected him to be the notorious Chen Xuan."

Chu Hongcai, on the other hand, was excited: "This Chen Xuan is really courting death, daring to openly come to Mingyue City. Before, no one knew what he looked like, but now that they do, it won't be so easy for him to run away! I don't know what's wrong with this guy."

Zuan touched his nose. "That crazy guy you mentioned is here to get revenge on me. Of course, there's no need to tell them this. By the way, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Look at my memory." Chu Yucheng slapped his forehead and took out a food box. "Cai Ji's steamed buns and He Ji's tofu pudding are the most famous in the city. They are usually hard to buy. We came back early today, so we brought you a portion too. Let's all eat together."

"Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft." Zu An thought to himself, "Could these two have poisoned it?"

Chu Yucheng's face stiffened, and he said in a low voice, "Hongcai drank all night last night, thinking that Miss Qiu had been... hehe, ravaged by you, so I specially dragged him over to ask you for some information. It wouldn't be right to come empty-handed, would it? I didn't expect that Hongcai was overthinking things last night, haha."

He realized that saying this sounded a bit gloating, so he quickly set out the bowls and chopsticks: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Seeing that the two were also eating, Zu'an finally felt relieved. He scooped up a bowl of tofu pudding and thought, "Mmm, it smells so good. I haven't tasted this flavor in a long time."

Even as the group walked into the lobby, he kept praising it: "It's really white, tender, and smooth. I'll definitely try it again next time."

"Haha, Ah Zu is indeed a kindred spirit. I'll take you with me next time."

Just then, an angry voice suddenly rang out from not far away: "Despicable, shameless, and vile!"

Zu An looked up and saw Chu Huanzhao glaring at him with a flushed face.

Chu Huanzhao's anger value increased by 444!

Chu Yucheng said gloatingly, "When did you offend Xiao Zhao, Azu?"

"And you fatso, you're no better than me! You've corrupted my brother-in-law!"

After saying that, he stomped his foot, turned around, and ran away angrily.

Chu Yucheng was completely bewildered. What does it have to do with us whether your brother-in-law is a bad guy or not? We were just discussing tofu pudding.

“Young master, young master, it’s time for school. Your horses are ready.” Cheng Shouping appeared out of nowhere and said eagerly.

Zaun then realized that the three-day holiday after the dungeon was over, and today was indeed school day.

The thought of going to school made his face fall, but the thought of the beautiful principal, the lovely Ms. Shang, and the classmates who provided anger points instantly made him feel much better.

"Why are you being so obsequious today?" Zu An asked curiously as he walked towards the main gate.

"I've always been so devoted to my son-in-law..." Cheng Shouping said a bunch of random words before finally changing the subject, "If my son-in-law goes to Shenxianju next time, it would be even better if he could take me to see the world."

"You dog slave, how dare you encourage your master to go to such a filthy place!" Just then, a whip lashed out, followed by Cheng Shouping's shrill scream.
