The seven small buildings in the cherry blossom formation are named after the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. Xue Huan chose "Yaoguang".
Because there is a blood-red cherry blossom in the yard of this small building. The trunk is as thick as a thigh and taller than the small building. Once you open the window, you can see the tree full of gorgeous and beautiful petals.
When a breeze blows and the petals fall, the scene is as beautiful as a scene in an anime.
There are stone tables and stone benches under the cherry trees. It must be a pleasure to sit here and taste wine and appreciate the flowers.
When you have free time, you can move a rocking chair over, rock back and forth, and squint your eyes to look at the flower crowns bathed in the sun, which can also bring you endless joy.
The small building was very clean because it was equipped with a dust-proof formation. All necessary furniture was available, except for some daily necessities. As Xue Huan checked the environment of the house up and down, she also arranged the rooms in place.
Put brand new fluffy bedding on the bed, hang curtains, lay out carpets, put tea sets on the table, put flowers in the vase... the room is ready.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers both inside and outside the house.
Xue Huan stood in front of the railing on the third floor, looked at the scenery in the distance, and was very satisfied.
After working for a long time, my stomach started to growl.
I didn’t get to have that meal in the cafeteria before, so now that I’ve settled down, I have to treat myself.
It is also a celebration of moving into a new house.
What should I eat? Many delicious foods flashed through Xue Huan's mind, and in the end she chose hot pot.
While the soup was being cooked, Xuan Ling, who had been wandering outside, came back.
He jumped lightly down from the cherry tree, landed on the stone bench, leaned over to the hot pot and sniffed it, his eyes narrowed in ecstasy.
When Xue Huan brought out the cut and washed ingredients, she was surprised to see him: "You're back? Just in time for hot pot."
Xuan Ling, in cat form, spoke in human language: "Didn't you ask me to find out who the boss behind Narcissus Pavilion is? I found out."
"Oh, who is it?"
At this moment, Xue Huan noticed that the outermost layer of the barrier was triggered.
Of course, Xiao Shengtian and the other man intended to let her know that they were coming. If they wanted to hide it, they could do it without leaving any trace.
"Someone's coming."
Xuan Ling was just about to transform into a human form. After all, it was more convenient to eat with hands. Upon hearing this, he had to give up in frustration.
Xue Huan was a little surprised to see that the people coming were Wei Ziping and the old man who cut the stone during the first test that day. How come these two came here together?
Wei Ziping said very politely, "Xue girl, we came here to eat for free. You won't chase us away, will you?"
Xue Huan smiled and said, "Of course not. I can't say enough about welcoming you. Please take a seat, I'll be ready shortly."
Wei Ziping looked at the bubbling hot pot soup and his appetite was whetted. "Xue girl, how do you eat this? Why have I never seen this before?"
The food culture in the spiritual world is not as brilliant as that in the secular world. People in the secular world cannot cultivate immortality, and their whole lives are just about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Food comes first, and people always spend a lot of time and effort on eating.
People in the spiritual world, on the other hand, were so focused on spiritual practice that they even invented fasting pills to save time on meals. They could just take one pill when they were hungry. As a result, they naturally didn't make much progress in eating.
The main cooking methods here are boiling, stewing, steaming, roasting and simmering. The richness of the dishes cannot be compared with later generations, let alone the secular world.
So hot pot, which was new to ordinary people, was something Wei Ziping and the others had never seen before.
Xue Huan said, "This is a hot pot. After the soup boils, put the various dishes in and eat them."
Soon, three people and a cat sat around the stove at the stone table under the cherry tree and happily started eating hot pot.
Under Xue Huan's guidance, Wei Ziping and Xiao Shengtian quickly mastered the correct way to eat hot pot and enjoyed it with gusto.
Seeing the black cat eating at the same table with them, Xiao Shengtian thought, "This cat is not afraid of heat."
A cat's tongue is very delicate.
Xuanling paused in eating the meat roll.
Xue Huan scooped a spoonful of vegetables for Xuan Ling and put it in his bowl. "This one I raised is not afraid of heat and is very greedy."
With delicious food and fine wine, Wei Ziping and Xiao Shengtian were both extremely satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, the two helped Xue Huan clear the table. Xue Huan brewed a pot of tea and poured each of them a cup. They sat under the cherry tree, drinking tea and chatting, the atmosphere quite pleasant.
Halfway through the conversation, Wei Ziping suddenly began to praise Xiao Shengtian, talking about his various heroic deeds in his youth and his current status in the spiritual world.
While Wei Ziping was talking incessantly, Xiao Shengtian stood beside him with a reserved and indifferent expression.
Xue Huan didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to this point, and she politely followed with a burst of praise. Unexpectedly, her praise made Wei Ziping talk even more enthusiastically.
Xiao Shengtian next to him seemed indifferent, but a look of pleasure unconsciously appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Xue Huan's eyes moved between the two of them, and suddenly a horrifying thought came to her mind: Could it be that these two old people were showing off their affection in front of her?
Even though they are old and even though they are of the same sex, they can still be in love.
Thinking of this, she understood why Wei Ziping was praising Xiao Shengtian so much.
Fortunately, Wei Ziping didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have choked to death on his own saliva.
After recounting Xiao Shengtian's heroic deeds from childhood to old age, Wei Ziping asked Xue Huan, "Girl, what do you think?"
Thoughts?
"I think you two have a really good relationship."
Wei Ziping: "..."
Xiao Shengtian: "..."
The two looked at each other, then looked away at the same time in disgust.
Wei Ziping hinted to Xue Huan, "I'm not exaggerating, but Lao Xiao is a very famous person in the spirit world. Many people have begged to be his disciples, but he has rejected them all. He just wants to find someone who is more compatible with him."
Xue Huan agreed: "We must be cautious when accepting disciples."
In this era, the relationship between master and apprentice is very close, comparable to that between father and son.
Wei Ziping was helpless when he saw that she still didn't understand his hint. He gave Xiao Shengtian a look and said, "I've tried my best. You do the rest."
Really, I just want to take in a disciple, why don’t you just say it openly? Why did you make it so complicated?
Xiao Shengtian cleared his throat and said to Xue Huan, "Huan girl, this is the case. I think the food you cook is delicious. I hope I can eat it every day in the future. What do you think?"
Xue Huan: “???”
"You mean, you want to hire me to cook for you?"
Wei Ziping chuckled, unable to hold back any longer. "Girl, Lao Xiao wants to take you in as his disciple! Oh, after all this talk and such a long journey, I finally got it out. Lao Xiao, you're the same way. You're clearly eager to take Huan as your disciple, yet you're putting on airs and trying to get Huan to beg you to be your disciple. Why are you doing all this useless work?"
Xue Huan was stunned, then couldn't help laughing after she suddenly realized what was going on. So that's how it was!
This caused her to misunderstand the relationship between the two elderly people, which is really a sin.
Wei Ziping had already said what he wanted to say. Xiao Shengtian felt awkward for a moment, then calmed down and looked at Xue Huan: "How about it? Are you willing to take me as your master?"
