Seeing that Qin Yanning did not seem to be pretending, Meng Changyun also tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

The first thing he tasted was the roasted fish's aroma and the perfect saltiness. Meng Changyun also found it magical. This was clearly not his normal level.

However, when he saw Qin Yanning's eyes full of admiration, a sense of vanity that came from nowhere surged into Meng Changyun's heart.

He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "If you think it tastes good, then eat more. If you don't have any flesh on your body, the wind will blow it away."

"You have to follow me for half a year, there will be plenty of food to eat in the future."

As soon as he said that, Meng Changyun felt a little regretful.

If the food he makes next time isn’t as delicious as this time, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Meng Changyun suddenly felt like he had turned into a fish being roasted on fire.

Forget it, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain.

Qin Yanning finally understood that Meng Changyun still had some of the awkwardness of a teenager. He wanted to care about others but didn't know where to start.

Listen to what he said. He was so skinny that Qin Yanning really wanted Ji Xuan to possess him and stab him.

However, Meng Changyun's awkwardness did not affect Qin Yanning's appetite, and she still ate the whole fish with satisfaction.

Meng Changyun gave her the belly of a boneless fish, which marked the end of the meal.

Qin Yanning had a hard time sleeping that night. Although Meng Changyun had made a small area of ​​hay for her, the ground was hard after all, and her back and waist ached from sleeping.

In the second half of the night, she somehow rolled into Meng Changyun's arms. Meng Changyun did not push her away, so she simply hugged him tightly in a half-asleep state.

Poor Meng Changyun, he helped catch a few mosquitoes that were still jumping around in the autumn night in the first half of the night, and recited the mantra of clearing the mind and abstaining from desires in the second half of the night.

When Qin Yanning woke up the next day, there was a faint dark shadow under Meng Changyun's eyes.

"Let's go when we wake up."

Meng Changyun glanced at Qin Yanning and led the horse over.

Qin Yanning was a little puzzled. It was just one night, so why did Meng Changyun return to his bossy attitude?

Fortunately, there were no accidents in the second half. After Qin Yanning applied the medicine several times, the piercing pain was relieved a lot.

The two finally arrived in Chuzhou City at noon on the third day.

The original owner was already able to remember things when she was sold. Based on the original owner's memory, Qin Yanning asked Meng Changyun to take her to a small village called Lingxi.

The original owner remembered that she grew up in this small village until she was five years old.

Because she was sold by her parents, she never changed her name in the Mingjian Pavilion.

Meng Changyun stopped an old man at the entrance of the village and bowed with a smile, "Uncle, is there any family with the surname Qin in your village?"

Upon hearing this, the old man opened his half-closed eyes and looked at Meng Changyun and Qin Yanning, then slowly stretched out a hand.

Meng Changyun understood what he meant and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand.

The old man suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

Qin Yanning just felt that his face-changing skills still needed to be improved.

"In our village, there have only been two surnames, Ma and Wu, for generations."

"There's one named Qin. He moved here about seventeen years ago."

"But they are no longer in Lingxi Village. Ten years ago, the head of the Qin family made a fortune, and the whole family moved to the county town."

"The most popular Ping'an Restaurant in the county is owned by the Qin family."

When Meng Changyun found out the whereabouts of the Qin family, he thanked the old man, mounted his horse and took Qin Yanning to the county town.

Only the old man was left standing there, staring blankly at the dust raised by the horse's hooves.

The young man and the girl on his horse were really a perfect match, both of them looked like fairies from heaven.

Qin Yanning was still sitting sideways in front of Meng Changyun. She looked at the man holding the reins. The man's eyes were moving, and no one knew what he was thinking.

She just felt that Meng Changyun was really decisive and efficient in doing things. No wonder after he became the leader of the Demon Cult, he wiped out the seven sects within a few years.

But when he thought of the cold man who appeared at the end of the original owner's memory, Qin Yanning would rather Meng Changyun not become like that.

At the very least, keep an inch of softness for him.

Meng Changyun was a fast walker, and in more than half an hour he brought Qin Yanning to the county seat of Ping'an County, which was under the jurisdiction of Lingxi Village.

Ping'an Restaurant is quite famous in the county town, so the two found the right place without asking.

Meng Changyun helped Qin Yanning get off the horse and carefully took her into the store.

He didn't ask for a private room, but chose a seat by the window and ordered a few side dishes.

Qin Yanning looked at the shopkeeper who was collecting money at the counter and nodded slightly at Meng Changyun.

The man looked exactly like the father in the original owner's memory. They had found the right place.

Meng Changyun shook his head, signaling Qin Yanning not to act rashly.

He naturally knew that Qin Yanning wanted to see her parents, not to recognize her relatives.

What else could it be for?

She was sold to Mingjian Pavilion by her parents when she was five years old, and was sold to others as a plaything and a tool.

Meng Changyun thought it was understandable that she wanted revenge.

A mother is kind and a son is filial, but what if the parents are not kind, or are they demons who want to push you into the abyss?

Why bother locking yourself up with shackles? How can you repay kindness by repaying evil with kindness?

"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry." Qin Yanning said with a smile.

However, Meng Changyun felt that there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.

When the dishes were served, Qin Yanning only took a few bites and stopped eating. However, Meng Changyun took great pains to eat several pieces of sweet osmanthus lotus root.

They had just heard that this sweet osmanthus lotus root was the signature dish of Ping'an Restaurant. They heard that the couple slept in the backyard of the restaurant at night and got up before dawn to make this sweet lotus root.

After paying the bill, Meng Changyun took Qin Yanning to a cult property in Chuzhou to rest.

Qin Yanning didn't ask Meng Changyun anything. The person had already been found, and Ping'an Restaurant was so big that they couldn't run away.

She believed that Meng Changyun must have his own plans.

The four routes that Chuzhou and the Demon Cult used to escort the girls to Miaojiang were not in the same direction, and Mingjian Pavilion was afraid that it would be unable to cope with them. In addition, Meng Changyun also said that it was okay, so Qin Yanning felt at ease to stay.

In the next few days, Meng Changyun started going out early and coming back late again.

On the third night, Meng Changyun took Qin Yanning out.
