Chapter 93 1+1 is greater than 2
"If you want to feel at ease, you also have a third option." Jiufang Yu glanced at him indifferently.
"for example?"
"It's me."
"Interesting, you are such an interesting person," Yao Yao laughed while patting the armrest, "I like you more and more."
Jiufang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then please restrain yourself a little."
"Aren't you afraid that I will make the fourth choice and kill your sweetheart?" Yao Yao gently scratched his lower lip with the nail of his index finger, looking at Jiufang Yu with interest, "Being alive is the most important thing. The dead can't hinder my plan."
"That's right, staying alive is the most important thing." Jiufang Yu looked calm, without any sign of being angered, but his tone was extremely firm, "If you kill me, you still have a chance to survive. If you kill him, you will definitely not be able to leave the Waste Planet."
Yao Yao's fingertips paused at his lips, "It's meaningless to say that."
"Remember one thing, I don't have a high bottom line, except when it comes to him." Jiufang Yu's tone was normal, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
"You can't even talk about it?"
"no."
"Okay." Yao Yao leaned back in his chair in frustration, sighed, and turned to look out the window, "Why haven't I met someone who treats me so sincerely?"
"You have wrapped yourself in money for too long. Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity."
"I know." Yao Yao deliberately dragged out his tone and raised the corners of his lips mischievously, "Seventeenth Brother."
Jiufang Yu: ...
The next morning, Jiufang Jin boarded the starship for his return. The news that Yao Yao "looked down on" Jiufang Yu and rejected the marriage proposal also spread among the Jiufang family, the Fifth Family and other insiders.
"Uncle, is there anything to eat?" Diwuyuan slept until almost noon and then sleepwalked out of the room.
Last night, he and Kong Hu used brute force technology to crack the personal terminal left by the vagrant leader, and searched for relevant information. He stayed up until dawn before going to bed. If he wasn't so hungry now, he wouldn't want to get up at all.
"I saved some steamed buns, seafood porridge and spiced tripe strips for you this morning. They're all in the warmer. Or you can just have lunch directly. It should be ready by now." Diwuwei turned off his personal terminal and sent a command to the robot bear butler, who rushed to the kitchen with a staccato pace.
"Let's have breakfast, thank you, Uncle~" Diwuyuan hugged his arm and rubbed his cheek affectionately like a child. The young master who hadn't woken up yet spoke with a nasal and sticky tone.
Xiaobai also folded a paper crane, landed on Diwuwei's shoulder and rubbed his collar.
"Why thank me? I'm just passing on a message. Huanhuan kept it for you." Diwu Wei sneered at his nephew who was acting like a spoiled child, and then looked at the 'paper crane' in surprise.
My nephew's spirit has always been very "shy", hiding in his pocket almost all year round, pretending to be a handkerchief, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see its full appearance a few times a year. This time, after going out for an investigation with Jiufang Yu and the others, Xiaobai unexpectedly became "lively" after returning, and he would fold paper cranes and paper beasts to play when he had nothing to do.
"Thanks~" Diwuyuan narrowed his eyes and rubbed it like a little animal.
The warm midday sun shone on his porcelain-white face, making his smile even sweeter.
"You," Diwuwei gently poked his nephew's forehead, and his heart was softened by cuteness. He was annoying at times, but also very cute at times. "What time did you stay up last night?"
"Five o'clock. It's all because of that bad guy Jiufang Yu..."
Diwuwei patiently listened to the young master's complaints about Jiufang Yu, and chatted with him about some gossip about Jiufang Yu being 'dumped'. Then the robot bear butler brought back Diwuyuan's brunch, which included steamed buns, seafood porridge and spiced tripe strips, as well as two beautiful desserts.
The two desserts were about the same size as the cupcakes Huanhuan had made before. They were a fresh light yellow color, with gold powder and green "stars" sprinkled on them as embellishments. With the golden and green colors, they looked like a fresh and dreamy cream-yellow nebula.
"I'll give you and your uncle a taste of the freshly made Babaruya." The robot bear butler played Qi Huan's 'message'.
Fifth Yuan didn't know what Babaluya was, but Huanhuan's food must be delicious. The young master picked up the dessert spoon beside him and took a bite impatiently.
Soft and light, delicate and fluffy, with rich fruity aroma, and a pleasantly refreshing sour taste in the sweetness. It also melts in the mouth, but has more elasticity like a silk cake than ice cream, and is also smooth, but has more ice crystal-like moisture than pudding, just like the sudden drizzle in late spring and early summer that falls densely on the tip of the tongue, instantly awakening the dormant taste buds, fresh and elegant, full of life.
Every part of my body feels comfortable.
"How can Huanhuan be so awesome!" Diwuyuan shook the spoon happily and felt that his tongue was about to melt along with the mouthful of Babaluya.
"Let's eat first." Diwuwei moved the missing piece of dessert and replaced it with seafood porridge.
The young master's eyes were fixed on Babaruya who had moved away, and the happy smile on his face suddenly collapsed.
The fifth sighed helplessly, "After you finish both portions, they are all yours."
"Uncle, I love you." Diwuyuan's face immediately became sunny again, and he picked up the spoon and started eating.
Diwu Wei shook his head lovingly. He usually acted like a little adult, but he was still a child at heart.
After leisurely finishing his breakfast, thinking of the latest information he got last night about the Qi family incident, Diwuyuan couldn't wait to go out with his two desserts.
"Where are you going?" Diwuwei asked.
"Go find Huanhuan." The second half of the young master's words were cut off outside the door, and he ran away in a hurry.
Qi Huan had just finished lunch in the cafeteria and returned to his room to rest. Jiu Fangyu asked him to meet in the room at two o'clock, saying that he had something to tell him.
He poured a cup of barley tea and just sat down on the sofa when the door opened. He thought it was Jiufang Yu, but when he turned around, he found it was Diwuyuan.
"Huanhuan, this is delicious!" The fifth ranger was looking at the dessert. Next to his shoulder was a 'paper crane' flapping its wings, and it pounced towards Qi Huan like a happy little animal.
Jiujiu sat on Qi Huan's shoulder, with his index finger pointing to the sky, gently curling a strand of long white hair by his ear. When he heard Diwu Yuan say it was delicious, he raised his chin proudly. That's because it had added enough nutrition to everyone today.
"Why are you trying to steal your uncle's? There's more in the kitchen." Qi Huan moved aside and gave the place near the coffee table to the young master. He hadn't paid the "rent" for a long time. He happened to be free this morning, so he made Babaruya for the Beast Squad and took some for others.
It's just that the Ferocious Beast Team, the shop owner, the people at the sanatorium, and Diwuyuan's side, were eating Jiujiu's special 'nutritional' plus version, while everyone else was eating the regular version.
"Then I'll bring him another piece later." Diwuyuan said happily.
"Why are you so happy today?" Qi Huan asked curiously.
"Of course I'm happy. I finally got the data last night and sorted out the Qi family's affairs. That annoying guy also went back to the Yao family. Now I can eat delicious snacks again. I'm so happy!" Diwuyuan raised three fingers to Qi Huan happily, "Let me tell you, the Qi family..."
Qi Huan was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
Jiujiu, who was playing with the little white crane, disappeared in a flash. The little white crane missed its target and almost fell to the ground. Diwuyuan quickly stretched out his handle to pick it up.
Before Qi Huan could get up and go over, the door opened and Jiufang Yu appeared at the door.
Are you crazy? Why are you knocking on your own door? Diwu Yuan frowned and was about to say something to Jiufang Yu when he saw the figure next to him, dressed in brocade and covered in jewels.
Further back, there was a row of green guards.
"He said he wanted to discuss the menu with you." Jiufang Yu nodded towards Qi Huan and introduced the reason why Yao Yao appeared here.
"Forty-seventh brother, you are here too." Yao Yao greeted the young master holding a dessert spoon with a smile.
"Why are you still here?" Diwu Yuan was so shocked that he almost jumped up. "Didn't Jiufang Jin leave?"
"He can go his own way. What does it have to do with me?" Yao Yao walked into the room leisurely and sat down on the single armchair next to him, causing the ornaments around his waist to jingle.
Diwu Yuan frowned even more tightly, "Then why did you stay? Didn't you look down on me for rejecting the marriage proposal?"
As soon as he said this, he realized he had said something wrong and looked at Jiufang Yu apologetically. Jiufang Yu didn't care and his expression didn't change at all. He sat down on another single sofa.
"Stay for the banquet," Yao Yao smoothed the wrinkles between his knees and answered as a matter of course, "Didn't I reserve a table for everyone yesterday?"
Fifth Yuan: ...
"Then I'll introduce you to the other brothers so you can all get to know each other."
"He's your sworn brother, not mine." Diwuyuan muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Although you haven't known each other before, because of my relationship, even if you can't be brothers, you can at least be friends." Yao Yao said with a smile.
"Ah~" Diwuyuan quickly covered his ears in rejection. Thinking that the person in front of him would continue to stay, and thinking about the embarrassing situation of sitting with dozens of strangers in a few days, his sleep-deprived brain was about to explode.
"Come here. You have been here long enough and are familiar with Chef Xiaoxing's cooking skills. Help me choose some dishes for our brothers." Yao Yao took out the menus that Qi Huan had given him yesterday and spread them on the coffee table.
Diwuyuan had a look of despair on his face. He finished the rest of the Babaruya without any appetite. After helping Yao Yao to choose the dishes, he left the room with Yao Yao in a shaky step, and even forgot the purpose of his visit.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" After seeing off Yao Yao and Diwuyuan, Qi Huan poured a cup of barley tea for himself and Jiufang Yu. He also took out the Babaluya that he had left for Jiufang Yu and Xingqi Ba from the small refrigerator in the room.
Hei Tuanzi ran to the huge dessert that Qi Huan had specially made for him and started eating it happily.
"Qi family matters." Jiufang Yu didn't look at the dessert in front of him, but paid attention to Qi Huan's expression.
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Jiufang Yu and Diwu Yuan were probably talking about the same thing, "Have you found out?"
"I've sorted it out this morning. There are still some minor details left, but it shouldn't be too far off."
"Go ahead." Qi Huan nodded, indicating that he was ready.
"In terms of time, it should have started three years ago, when the current head of the Qi family took over. I guess he saw some data that only the head of the family has the authority to view, and learned about your existence and the approximate location where your parents had the accident. After that, he sent people to look for you on the Waste Star."
"The previous two people all assumed that I was no longer around, so why is he looking for me? It's not for that family heirloom, is it?" Qi Huan didn't think that the other party would do it out of family affection.
Jiufang Yu nodded. "Judging from the information he communicated with others, he is sure that the Qi family has a recipe handed down from generation to generation, but they can't find it. He thinks the most likely possibility is that it was in your parents' hands at the time, and then it was lost because they died. Therefore, the most likely possibility is that it is in your hands."
Qi Huan was speechless.
"Do you remember a man named Kaisen?" Jiufang Yu mentioned another name.
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment, and after recalling for a long time, he remembered that this was the name of another "online friend" of the original owner, who seemed to be a third-level sentinel.
"I didn't remember it at first, but I've seen this." Qi Huan opened his personal terminal, unlocked the blocking mode, and retrieved the chat history between the original owner and Kaisen.
Jiufang Yu glanced at it briefly and nodded, "So you used to like such a greasy style."
Qi Huan: ...
Oops, he forgot that the content of this man’s conversation with the original owner was indeed vaguely ambiguous.
"Could this person be related to the Qi family?" Qi Huan's mind raced and he hurriedly changed the subject.
"The Qi family sent him to get information from you, pretending to be someone you like, and wanted to find out the whereabouts of the recipe."
Qi Huan choked. What the hell? Isn’t this just the interstellar version of a pig-killing scam?
"According to his report to the Qi family, you did say in your conversation that you vaguely remembered seeing a cookbook when you were a child, but you didn't know where it went afterwards."
"Is the cookbook really on the waste planet? Where is that thing now?" Qi Huan frowned in confusion.
When he was cleaning the room, in order to get more information about the original owner, he searched almost both the upper and lower floors, but only found the child's handwritten recipe.
"I don't know," Jiufang Yu shook his head, frowning slightly, "I'm not sure if the recipe you mentioned is the one passed down by the Qi family, but the Qi family thinks it is. So he had someone set up a trap, tricking you out of Base No. 3 with a high reward, planning to kidnap you and take you to the Nomad Base to torture you for the whereabouts of the recipe."
Qi Huan choked on his breath. It turned out that the guy from the Falcon Squad was also sent by the Qi family?
"Unexpectedly, an accident happened on the way. Those people encountered a stone beast while taking you to the nomad base. When the leader of the nomad base rushed over to pick you up, he found that everyone, including you, was dead. He could only report to the Qi family that the mission had failed."
So this was the cause of the original owner's death. Qi Huan's hands and feet were cold, and he drank two sips of barley tea in succession.
"If I hadn't met you, I might have really died." Qi Huan sighed, "And then, how is this matter related to Ah Tu?"
"A Tu is the informant of the leader of the nomadic base. He makes a little money by providing intelligence from the base. The Falcon Squad discussed the plan with the leader in the hotel before the operation. A Tu accidentally saw the leader holding your photo."
"So when Ah Tu saw me in the garbage collection team that morning, he thought I looked familiar, and then he finally remembered that he had seen my photo at the leader's place?"
"That's right." Jiufang Yu nodded slightly. "The leader received the news from Ah Tu and found out that you were rescued. Although you lost your memory, you still survived and mentioned the recipe to others. The Qi family was unwilling to give up and wanted him to find a chance to go back to the base and look around in the Human Restaurant. So he found a chance to sneak into the base again and go to the Human Restaurant to spy on you."
"As a result, he happened to meet you guys that day and ran away." Qi Huan suddenly realized and connected the whole thing.
Jiufang Yu nodded, "Then the leader prepared a second kidnapping plan. He wanted to take you away quietly when there were many people at the inauguration ceremony. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, he killed Ah Tu to silence him. As a result, he encountered a beast tide by accident and was unable to escape."
Qi Huan was stunned and let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that Jiufang Kuang's vicious beast tide could actually save him once.
"The contact person arranged by the Qi family waited for a long time but got no news, and realized that something had happened again. After these two incidents, the temporary head of the Qi family felt that Waste Star No. 7 was in conflict with them, so he didn't dare to attack Waste Star again. He happened to find out about your live broadcast, so he changed the plan. You know everything that happened afterwards."
"Do we have the evidence to deal with the Qi family now?"
"Well, if we sort out the existing information, it will be enough to send the Qi family and all those involved in this incident to the Alliance Arbitration Court and put them in prison."
"Finally, I've gotten rid of these annoying and frustrating dog-skin plasters." Qi Huan gritted his teeth and thought of another person, "Including that Kaisen?"
Jiufang Yu raised the corners of his lips, and a fierce look flashed in his deep eyes, "Of course he can't run away."
"But where is the recipe book? Is it in the ruins of the restaurant in the human world?" Qi Huan walked around the room twice, feeling that the matter would not be over until the recipe book was found.
Jiufang Yu said, "In a couple of days, I will arrange a few people to quietly go to the ruins in the name of cleaning up pollutants and scan with equipment to see if there are any similar paper items underneath."
"This is the only way for now." Qi Huan nodded.
At dinner time in the evening, Yao Yao followed Jiufang Yu into Tianfeng Pavilion again.
Diwuyuan, who just woke up, looked at the two people's inseparable appearance and felt a little puzzled. Didn't he say he didn't like them? What did it mean that they always followed each other?
"Why does he always follow you?" The young master glared at Jiufang Yu. How could they flirt with each other like this?
"He wants me to agree to become his sworn brother." Jiufang Yu answered calmly.
"This is the seventeenth brother I just picked for you." Yao Yao also replied with a smile.
Everyone: !!!!!!!
Qi Huan, who came to serve the dishes, almost dropped the plate when he heard this. What was this? If they couldn't be lovers, they could be brothers?
Diwuyuan suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He gasped and it took him several seconds to recover.
He slammed the table and solemnly warned Jiu Fangyu, "Don't agree to it, or my ranking will be delayed again."
Jiufang Yu raised his eyebrows with interest, "Thank you for helping me find a reason to accept the sworn brotherhood."
"Thank you, Forty-eighth Brother, for your help." Yao Yao winked at Diwuyuan and quickly changed his words.
Diwu Yuan's porcelain-white face turned pale and blue. 1+1 is greater than 2. If these two guys meet up, my world will fall apart!
