Are you sure these snacks were given to you by Chu Guangbai?

When he brought you this pastry, didn't he say anything else?

Xu Yuehuai maintained a normal expression and asked Pei Xuan a question.

Pei Xuan didn't know why Xu Yuehuai was suddenly so excited, so he quickly replied.

"These pastries were indeed given to me by Young Master Chu, who asked me to bring them over, without saying anything else."

After hearing this, Xu Yuehuai became increasingly puzzled.

It's unclear whether these pastries were made by Chu Guangbai or by someone close to him!

Regardless of which possibility it is, it can only prove that there must be other people who have traveled through time in these four countries!

If they find the person who traveled from the past, and question them about the reason for their journey, perhaps they can find a way to travel back in time?

Although Xu Yuehuai didn't want to go back to the modern world, if the four countries were to go to war in the future, she might be able to find a way to take the people around her to a safe place.

Modern times are definitely a very safe place to go!

After realizing this, Xu Yuehuai became particularly eager to find the other person who had transmigrated.

However, she couldn't act too strangely, otherwise others would notice and she might encounter danger.

"Okay, I got it. This dessert is just so delicious, I'm really curious about how it's made!"

Xu Yuehuai made some amends to reassure Pei Xuan.

Then one of them collected all the snacks and parted ways with Pei Xuan.

Xu Yuehuai clutched the pastries tightly and finally returned to the house.

She closed all the doors and windows tightly, sat alone in the room, spread the pastries out on the table, and carefully examined their appearance.

This dessert is very similar to a modern type of small cake, with a crispy exterior and a sweet chocolate interior. Xu Yuehuai used to love eating this kind of small cake when she was in the modern era.

I never imagined that after traveling to ancient times, I would be able to eat the delicacies that are only available in modern times!

This surprised Xu Yuehuai somewhat!

This is truly exciting!

Xu Yuehuai tasted the pastry again, and it did indeed taste exactly like the one she had tasted. The chocolate inside was just the right amount of sweetness, so the elder knew that the person who made the pastry must be very familiar with chocolate making and skilled at it.

She couldn't help but wonder if Chu Guangbai was someone who had traveled from another time.

Xu Yuehuai heard that Chu Guangbai had suffered from a serious illness since childhood and had been plagued by various ailments ever since.

Perhaps Chu Guangbai died during one of his serious illnesses?

There is only one possibility: he was a person from the modern era who traveled through time.

Xu Yuehuai thought that she still needed to test Chu Guangbai properly.

I wonder if Chu Guangbai knows that she also came from another time. Maybe he's testing me?

Xu Yuehuai couldn't expose herself so quickly; she had to find out the other party's strengths and weaknesses without revealing her identity.

After carefully considering her options, she breathed a sigh of relief and ate all the snacks, effectively destroying all traces and preventing anyone else from finding any clues.

The Flower Festival will be coming soon, and Xu Yuehuai has been preparing many new dishes these days.

On this day, Chu Guangbai finally arrived at the Tianxianglou branch.

He came over to discuss the future business of Tianxianglou with Xu Yuehuai.

"Manager Xu, it's been a long time! Thank you so much for the medicinal herbs you sent me last time. I'm feeling much better now!"

Chu Guangbai smiled and thanked Xu Yuehuai as soon as he saw her.

Xu Yuehuai said, "This is all as it should be, but it can't compare to the Tianshan Snow Lotus you used to save me last time!"

The Tianshan snow lotus is exceptionally precious, and it cannot be bought with any of the rarest medicinal herbs in the world!

Qi Guze, watching the two from upstairs, said to Chu Guangbai, "Young Master Chu, are you only thanking A-Yue and not me?"

He said this only to deliberately attract Chu Guangbai's attention and let Chu Guangbai know that he had been watching him all along!

Upon hearing this, Chu Guangbai smiled and then clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to Qi Guze, saying, "Guangbai thanks Your Highness! Those medicinal herbs Your Highness possessed were of the finest quality!"

If he didn't know why Qi Guze gave him these medicinal herbs, he would have been grateful to Qi Guze.

Although the medicinal herbs that Qi Guze gave to Chu Guangbai were not as good as the Tianshan Snow Lotus, they were hundreds of times better than ordinary herbs!

That's a rare medicinal herb that's been around for over a hundred years!

Qi Guze shook his head slightly, "No need to thank me. I did this for A-Yue. If you have any urgent matters in the future, you can come to me!"

Although Chu Guangbai outwardly agreed, he inwardly sneered.

Everything Qi Guze did was for Xu Yuehuai; it seems Xu Yuehuai is truly very important to Qi Guze…

After Xu Yuehuai greeted the two, she turned to ask Qi Guze.

"I need to discuss the Tianxiang Pavilion matter with Young Master Chu. Aze, would you like to come and talk with us?"

When Qi Guze heard Xu Yuehuai call him over, he naturally smiled and agreed.

The three of them then sat down together in the accounting room, looking at the ledgers and discussing the business of the Tianxianglou branch.

"Recently, no one has come to the Tianxianglou branch. We are almost at the point of no return."

"If this continues, the Tianxianglou branch will go bankrupt."

"I wonder if Young Master Chu has any methods to revive the Tianxianglou branch?"

Xu Yuehua deliberately tested Chu Guangbai, wanting to know whether Chu Guangbai had any business acumen.

Qi Guze leaned back in his chair, looking at Chu Guangbai with his eyes open, waiting for Chu Guangbai's reply.

After listening to what Xu Yuehuai said, Chu Guangbai looked at the account books of the Tianxianglou branch recently.

After a long pause, he said to Xu Yuehuai and the others, "Although business at the Tianxianglou branch hasn't been good lately, it was still doing well a few days ago."

"That must be because the people around here also really like the food at the Tianxianglou branch. They haven't come here lately, so someone must be stopping them from doing so."

"I wonder who exactly is targeting the Tianxianglou branch behind the scenes."

"If we find the person behind this, we might be able to solve the problem of Tianxianglou's branch having no business."

Xu Yuehuai said, "I have a few guesses. It's probably that those people don't want my Tianxianglou branch to have an easy time."

Chu Guangbai shook his fan and asked who it was.

Xu Yuehuai then recounted the story of Manager Ding and the other officials from the yamen.
