Zhang Taoying, unusually, did not participate in the cooking process. Instead, she sat in her seat, and Chen Jing understood from the constant subtle hints in her beautiful left eye, which was not covered by the blindfold.

The fact that Zhang Taoying had joined the Black Hand gang could not be kept secret.

That's right, she's been missing for a while now...

There's no way to explain it!

Uncle Zhang, carrying a gourd of wine, came out of the house. He coughed a few times while covering his mouth, then walked to Chen Jing's side and said somewhat reservedly, "Xiao Jing, Uncle has a favor to ask of you."

Chen Jing quickly said, "Uncle Zhang, please speak."

Uncle Zhang said, "I heard that you and Tao Ying have both joined Master Black Hand's gang and are working for him. You can be considered colleagues. When something happens, try to take care of Tao Ying and help her out."

Chen Jing said, "Even if you hadn't said these things, I would still have helped her."

"That's good, that's good," Uncle Zhang said, somewhat embarrassed.

Zhang Taoying opened her mouth, but didn't speak, placing her hands on her lap.

Li Huaxing said, "Brother Jing, I heard about your story from Sister Tao Ying. You are really, really... amazing."

Wan Tong looked at Chen Jing and nodded.

They didn't seem to show any concern for the danger Chen Jing was facing, or even express any worry at all, but Chen Jing saw deep worry and fear in their eyes.

Chen Jing smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are all very united, and everyone is very capable with their own abilities. We cooperate very well, and life is no different from that in the hunting group, or even more relaxed, because we are all extraordinary people or even cultivators."

"Mmm." Wan Tong nodded her cute head slightly. Her body looked better than before, no longer so thin.

Li Huaxing pointed to the dishes in front of her: "This is to celebrate your safe return. We've been waiting for you."

No one asked Chen Jing what he had been doing before; they just kept putting food on his plate during the meal. Uncle Zhang kept putting food on Chen Jing's plate, while Wan Tong frequently showed goodwill towards Zhang Tao Ying.

During the meal, Uncle Zhang occasionally covered his mouth and nose and began to cough.

Chen Jing asked with concern, "Uncle Zhang, are you still not better?"

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "I'm much better now, but it's relapsed a bit. If I'm still not better by tomorrow, I'll go see the doctor again."

Zhang Taoying complained, "You should have gone tonight. That person was really something. He promised to help you get better, but you ended up with a chronic illness and weren't fully recovered."

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No need, it's nothing, cough cough...it's not like anyone will die."

Chen Jing stood up: "Let me take you there, it's not too late yet."
