"you……"
The man tried to say something, but Lu Qing kicked him away.
"So noisy!" Lu Qing pouted, looking displeased.
"How dare you hurt my master! Let's attack together!"
The young men who were with him all attacked Lu Qing at the same time. Before Lu Qing could even move, his senior brothers had already made their move.
Senior Brother Qin Yuebai simply stomped his foot, and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation on the ground suddenly activated:
"Wood Character Formula, Xun Wind, Rise!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of wind swept them up.
Upon seeing this, the third senior brother immediately grabbed a pig leg bone and went over:
"Senior Brother, let me see them off!"
Qin Yuebai didn't say anything, but with a flick of her finger, the group of people were blown away by the wind.
The third senior brother gripped the thigh bone like a baseball bat, and when the person flew towards him, he struck with all his might.
With a few loud bangs, several shooting stars appeared in the sky.
The third senior brother looked around for a moment, then nodded and said:
"They've probably left Yutai Mountain!"
Gu Fei couldn't help but worry when she saw this scene:
"Qingqing, they're flying so far, won't they fall to their deaths?!"
Yu Hengzi laughed and said, "Don't worry, girl, they're all cultivators, they won't die from the fall."
Gu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qing pulled Yu Hengzi along, about to ask about the identities of those people again, but Yu Hengzi directly changed the subject:
"Qingqing, how are your mother and Xiao Gu's mother? Why don't you go see them and bring them a bowl of calming soup to help them relax?"
Seeing that Yu Hengzi didn't want to talk about it, Lu Qing didn't ask any further.
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
"Feifei, come with me!"
Lu Qing pulled Gu Fei to the kitchen, took some medicinal herbs from the cabinet, threw them into a clay pot, and then started a fire to simmer the soup.
Seeing that Lu Qing seemed somewhat absent-minded, Gu Fei couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Lu Qing sighed, resting her chin on her hand:
“My master and mistress are hiding something from me. The fact that they are keeping it from me means it’s not a small matter.”
"It's alright. Your master and mistress are so powerful, and you also have your senior brothers. Everything will be fine," Gu Fei comforted her.
Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "I hope so!"
After the calming soup was cooked, Lu Qing and Gu Fei took it to Han Ziyuan and Nan Qian.
The two lay in a room, with Chu Panshan and Gu Yan each guarding their respective wives.
"Dad, Uncle Gu, I made some calming soup for Mom and Aunt Gu."
"Mom and Aunt Gu are still not awake!"
Lu Qing checked their bodies and found nothing seriously wrong, but the fright had plunged them into a nightmare.
"Dad, Uncle Gu, pinch their philtrum and wake them up first."
"good!"
The two nodded, and then pinched Han Ziyuan and Nan Qian's philtrum for a while.
Soon, the two people who were unconscious opened their eyes.
"The snake...where's the snake?"
The two were pale, their fear still lingering. Lu Qing quickly comforted them:
"No snakes! No snakes! It's safe here. Uncle Spirit Snake is in the cave, far away from you!"
Han Ziyuan and Nan Qian looked around and were relieved to find that there were no snakes.
"Quickly drink the calming soup, lest you faint again!"
Lu Qing and Gu Fei quickly served each of them a bowl of calming soup.
After drinking it, their complexions improved considerably.
"Honey, you've always been afraid of snakes, but never to the point of fainting. How come it's so serious this time? Should we go to the hospital?" Gu Yan asked worriedly.
“Yes! Qingqing, I also want to take your mother to a nearby hospital for a check-up!” Chu Panshan said.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "There's no need to go to the hospital. The reason why Mom and Aunt Gu fainted from fright is because women are inherently yin, and the yin energy in the deep mountains is heavy. Uncle Ling She is also yin. With the three yin energies converging, their yang energy is too weak, so they fainted after being frightened."
"The calming soup helps to soothe the mind and calm the spirit. The Taoist temple is also a place for cultivation. It would be better for them to stay here for a few days and replenish their yang energy than to go to the hospital."
"Replenish Yang energy? How do you replenish it?" Gu Yan asked, frowning.
"Um...that depends on you guys!"
Lu Qing's eyes darted back and forth between Gu Yan and Chu Panshan:
"You're probably the only ones who can replenish their yang energy. There's an empty room next door; I'll go make up your beds."
Upon hearing this, the two middle-aged men immediately blushed.
Lu Qing quickly pulled Gu Fei away.
It was almost noon when the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen. Lu Qing pulled Gu Fei to squat by the kitchen window.
"Qingqing, what are we doing squatting here?"
Gu Fei had just finished asking when she heard her second senior brother's voice:
"The braised pork is ready. Can someone taste it to check if it's salty enough?"
"Me! Me! Me! I'll try it!"
Lu Qing immediately stood up, and from who knows where, a pair of chopsticks appeared. His eyes were fixed on the pot of bubbling braised pork.
Kong Shi couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"I knew you'd be hiding here waiting!"
"Here, taste it and see if it's salty enough!"
Kong Shi scooped two pieces of pork belly, some with fat and some with lean meat, from the pot:
"Each of you girls should have a piece, try it!"
Lu Qing and Gu Fei each took a piece, their breaths coming out in pain from the heat, but they couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Delicious! So delicious! The saltiness is just right!"
Immediately afterwards, the salt and pepper braised pork knuckle was ready. Qin Yuebai picked up a piece of pork knuckle and handed it over:
"Try this one too!"
The pork knuckle had crispy skin, rich but not greasy meat, and was tender, savory, and fragrant. Lu Qing nodded repeatedly.
"Delicious! Senior Brother's cooking skills have improved a lot!"
Qin Yuebai looked at Lu Qing, and the coldness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a gentle smile.
"Junior sister, you don't know, ever since you came down the mountain, senior brother has taken over the kitchen work and practiced his cooking skills, just to hear you say it's delicious."
"The only one who can get our ethereal senior brother to cook for us is you, junior sister!" Kong Shi laughed heartily.
Qin Yuebai frowned upon hearing his words.
The next second, Kong Shi's mouth was sealed shut by magic.
He looked at Qin Yuebai with a questioning gaze.
Why? Why put a silencing spell on him?
Qin Yuebai replied calmly, "You talk too much, it's noisy!"
Lu Qing chuckled:
"Second Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother hates talkative people the most, so you should shut up for now!"
Kong Shi glared at Qin Yuebai with a wronged expression.
It's obvious that the most talkative person on the mountain is the junior sister, but all the other brothers have been silenced by the senior brother, except for the junior sister. The senior brother's favoritism is too obvious.
"Senior Brother, give me another piece of pork knuckle skin!" Lu Qing said with a grin.
Qin Yuebai smiled slightly, then tore off the skin from the entire pork knuckle and handed it to Lu Qing:
"Go eat further away, the smoke near the window is too strong, don't let it choke you!"
Gu Fei's heart skipped a beat when she saw Qin Yuebai's gaze.
As a girl, her intuition was always accurate; this Qin Yuebai definitely had feelings for Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was just slow to react emotionally, so he couldn't tell.
Thinking of this, Gu Fei's eyes flickered slightly, then she smiled and said:
"Qingqing, my brother loves crispy pork knuckle skin the most, why don't you share some with him?"
"good!"
Lu Qing immediately ran to find Gu Xicheng.
Gu Xicheng was helping to wash the vegetables when suddenly a mouthful of greasy pork knuckle skin was stuffed into his mouth.
He didn't like eating pork knuckle skin, but after seeing Lu Qing, he ate it even though he didn't like it.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lu Qing asked with a smile.
Gu Xicheng nodded: "Delicious."
"Even if it were poison, it would taste good if you sent it."
This made Lu Qing even happier.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qin Yuebai's aura seemed to turn colder.
Gu Fei was about to slip away when she heard Qin Yuebai say coldly:
"You did this on purpose, didn't you!"
