Chapter 91 Simulated Kitchen

| Banxia Novel Exclusive |

*

Chu Liuxiang and Shangguan Feiyan temporarily settled down there. They rented two rooms respectively. They were trying to make extra money while focusing on the relationship between the characters.

One of them was suave and the other was gentle and lovely. From the looks of it, they seemed to be made for each other.

Chu Liuxiang asked around in the city for clues about Lu Xiaofeng. He and Lu Xiaofeng had a mutual friend who was here.

He just discovered it.

"Sikong Zhaixing, you don't have to hide anymore. I recognized you a long time ago."

Chu Liuxiang turned around, revealing a piece of his clothes behind the tree, and he smiled and spoke.

Sikong Zhaixing was recognized, but he was not angry. He walked out and looked at Chu Liuxiang, asking, "Why are you here with a pretty girl?"

Chu Liuxiang said helplessly, "Of course it's for Lu Xiaofeng. Do you have any clues about him?"

Sikong Zhaixing replied, "If I had any clues, I wouldn't come to see you alone."

The two looked at each other silently, speechless.

What is Lu Xiaofeng doing now

...

The small business of the head of Bu is still in full swing.

His business is at the other end of the city. Bu Zao did not sell small wooden toys this time, but took out some bamboo handicrafts, such as baskets, hats, storage racks, small dressing cabinets and the like.

This time he did not make money from the game characters, and soon sold almost everything, leaving only a small fish basket.

Bu Zao was staring at the fish basket in a daze, when suddenly a questioning voice came from above his head.

"Bu Zao..."

Bu Zao looked up and saw Lu Xiaofeng looking at him curiously.

With black hair and a red hairpin and amber eyes, Lu Xiaofeng smiled immediately when he saw that the stall owner in front of him was indeed the boatman he knew at that time. He didn't even care that he was being chased by the killer of Qingyi Building, and shouted happily: "It's really you! Bu Zao!"

Bu Zao also smiled: "What a coincidence."

There is a saying that reunion is unexpected, but Bu Zao was waiting for Lu Xiaofeng here on purpose, and he had planned it for a long time.

Bu Zao found a mat for Lu Xiaofeng, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't care and just sat down with legs crossed, looking at the lonely fish basket on the stall leisurely and chatting with Bu Zao.

"Your business is pretty good."

Bu Zao said, "It's the only one left, I give it to you as a reunion gift."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "I've been very busy recently and have no time to go fishing. I probably won't be able to use it." Bu Zao sighed

regretfully.

The two continued to chat, and when they talked about the rumors about Lu Xiaofeng in the martial arts world, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but frown and sigh.

"Although I have a harvest, I'm like a mouse being chased by the Valley Master Xiao. Alas."

Bu Zao comforted him.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too. "

This method of comfort may not be effective, but it at least made Lu Xiaofeng laugh and cry. While they were talking, someone came to buy the last fish basket. Bu Zao packed up his stall and prepared to go home, and asked Lu Xiaofeng to go out for dinner with him. Lu Xiaofeng immediately became energetic when he heard about dinner. He met many killers from Qingyi Building on the way here, and his mind was full of thoughts, so he had a hard time swallowing his meal. "I heard from Hua Man Lou that your cooking skills are very good..." Bu Zao understood what he meant and said, "Of course, but you have to pay for the dishes." Lu Xiaofeng readily agreed, and happily followed Bu Zao back to the inn where he lived. [Side Quest: Dinner. 】 【Task description: Lu Xiaofeng has longed for your cooking skills. Now, he asks you to cook a meal for him. Will you satisfy him?】 This is a newly triggered side quest, and Bu Zao chose to accept it. He is not opposed to cooking. He is free anyway, and he likes his cooking skills. After arriving at the inn, Lu Xiaofeng greeted the shopkeeper, borrowed the kitchen and bought some ingredients. There was still some time before dinner time, and the shopkeeper would not refuse the money that was delivered to the door. He immediately agreed to Lu Xiaofeng's request. After Bu Zao put the things away, he went to the back kitchen. Lu Xiaofeng had already prepared everything and was waiting in front of the stove, looking at him expectantly. Back in Hangzhou, not only did Huamanlou say that Bu Zao's cooking was good, almost everyone who had eaten it said it was delicious, and Lu Xiaofeng had long been eager to try. Bu Zao held up the kitchen knife: "You are responsible for lighting the fire." Lu Xiaofeng nodded happily. Bu Zao turned the simulated Jianghu into a simulated kitchen, and the kitchen knife collided with the chopping board, making an endless crackling sound. The orange flame ignited in the kitchen stove, making Lu Xiaofeng's face red. Bu Zao moved quickly and cooperated well with Lu Xiaofeng. In a few seconds, they prepared three dishes: radish and pork ribs soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and braised pork, which were all fragrant. Lu Xiaofeng sniffed and raised his hand to wipe his mouth. He almost thought he was drooling. It was just three simple dishes, but the taste was too fragrant. If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't watched Bu Zao's every move with her own eyes, she would have suspected that Bu Zao had added some homemade seasonings. Lu Xiaofeng carried the dishes to the lobby with great expectation. Xiaoyi, who was resting nearby, snorted and stared at the dishes in Lu Xiaofeng's hand with shining eyes. Lu Xiaofeng asked him if he wanted to eat something together, and Xiaoyi was a little tempted. Bu Zao came over with the soup and said, "Come on, you don't have any guests now anyway." The three of them happily gathered around the table to eat. The fragrance was so strong that people passing by on the street looked into the inn. Xiaoyi finished a bowl of soup, ate a few chopsticks of food, and went to the door to greet the guests. Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Your cooking skills have become their signature." Bu Zao smiled slightly. It's too boring to be alone in the mountains. Cooking skills are developed little by little in the process of learning. It took Bu Zao a year to go from eating and drinking to inhaling like a storm. He is very confident in his cooking skills. "What a nice smell, what is this smell?" Sikong Zhaixing moved his nose. The smell of this dish was somewhat familiar. Although it was strong, it was not pungent, but it made people salivate.

Chu Liuxiang suffered from severe rhinitis and could hardly smell anything, so he could not comment on this.

Curiously, he followed Sikong Zhaixing, who looked serious, to the source of the fragrance.

The two stopped outside an inn called Youfu Inn.

"Are you two guests here for a quick stop or to stay overnight?"

Xiaoyi asked enthusiastically.

Sikong Zhaixing said, "What dish are you cooking? Give me one serving as it is."

Xiaoyi was stunned and looked troubled, while Chu Liuxiang stared at the familiar figure in the corner of the lobby and fell silent.

The young man who was facing the figure raised his eyes and looked at Chu Liuxiang.

It was the young stall owner who sold cute little items yesterday.

Chu Liuxiang smiled at him.

Xiaoyi said: "This dish is made by our guests themselves, so we may not be able to give you the original one."

Sikong Zhaixing was a little disappointed, and followed Xiaoyi's instructions to look at the table where two people were sitting.

After watching for a while, the familiar back of the young man who was eating hard and the young man with a red wooden hairpin in his hair made Sikong Zhaixing's expression gradually change.

Sikong Zhaixing rushed in, Chu Liuxiang smiled apologetically at Xiaoyi, explained a little, and also walked into the house. "Lu Xiaoji, you are a heartless person!"

Sikong Zhaixing gritted his teeth. What could be more infuriating than worrying about his friend's comfort, but his friend was eating and drinking well?

Lu Xiaofeng bit the bone and looked up at a face full of anger. Only Sikong Zhaixing would call him "Lu Xiaoji". He finished chewing the bone slowly and said, "How can you be so heartless? I haven't offended you recently."

Sikong Zhaixing snorted and sat down with Chu Liuxiang. The square table was full.

Lu Xiaofeng was still eating hard, and both of them looked at Bu Zao.

When Sikong Zhaixing was a freshman, he and Chef Bu Zao were very harmonious dining partners. He didn't expect to see Bu Zao here.

What kind of fate is this?

Bu Zao's painting style doesn't match the Jianghu, and he introduced himself as usual: "I'm Bu Zao, Bu for Bu Lu, Zao for Zao Wan."

Lu Xiaofeng looked up and added: "I'm a friend I met in Jiangnan before."

Chu Liuxiang smiled at Bu Zao: "I'm Chu Liuxiang."

Bu Zao smiled and said: "I know you, Chu Xiangshuai. Thank you for taking care of my business before."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Those decorations are very cute."

Then the two looked at Sikong Zhaixing.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "My surname is Sikong."

He deliberately didn't say his full name, and didn't want to take the initiative to expose that he was Xiaoyi before, just to see if Bu Zao would know his name. He

will definitely recognize him, after all, he is the king of thieves.

Sikong Zhaixing thought to himself.

Bu Zao pretended to be enlightened: "So it's His Excellency Sikong Zhaixing!"

Sikong Zhaixing smiled, and after a brief silence, Bu Zao showed no sign of continuing to speak.

"..." Sikong Zhaixing asked, "Sikong, and then what?"

Bu Zao's eyes wandered slightly.

"You recognize both of them but don't recognize me--"

"How is that possible! Your Excellency is Sikong Zhaixing, of course I know that, hahahaha."

Bu Zao was very happy to be naughty and laughed out loud.

Chu Liuxiang smiled.

Sikong Zhaixing stared at him, Bu Zao smiled and pushed the dish towards him, saying: "I heard it just now, please eat."

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his chopsticks: "I'll pay for the dishes."

Now Sikong Zhaixing couldn't be polite anymore.

Everyone praised Bu Zao's cooking skills. Sikong Zhaixing looked at him twice. The look in his eyes was pure. Of course, he didn't recognize him as Xiaoyi.

It was impossible for him to recognize him. There were not many people in the world who could recognize Sikong Zhaixing in disguise.

Lu Xiaofeng boasted and showed off. Sikong Zhaixing raised his chopsticks and competed with him: "Are you a reincarnated hungry ghost, Lu Xiaoji?"

Chu Liuxiang was neither hurried nor slow, very elegant.

*

Bu Zao was very tactful. He knew that the other three had something to say, so he went back to his room after dinner. Chu Liuxiang and Sikong Zhaixing had a good impression of Bu Zao and talked happily during the meal.

As soon as he left, the two of them went to another quiet place with Lu Xiaofeng and listened in detail to what happened between him and the leader of the Evil Valley.

"It was an act," Sikong Zhaixing was a little surprised, "How could it be an act?"

Lu Xiaofeng had just said a summary, and when he heard Sikong Zhaixing's words, he was speechless. Why did he hear the word "pity" from it?

Chu Liuxiang said, "Could it be to lure someone out?"

This friend was the most reliable. Lu Xiaofeng sorted out his words and told the truth.

He was inexplicably interrogated by the assassins of Qingyi Building and asked questions he didn't know. In doubt, he entrusted Wanwu Building. Xiao Qingzhou, who was also an eyewitness of the Shi Guanyin and Jellyfish Yinji incident, wanted to see Chongming, saying that if he hunted down an important employer, Chongming would definitely show up -

that's why Lu Xiaofeng was hunted down.

He and Xiao Qingzhou met Chongming as they wished, but at the same time, the assassins of Qingyi Building showed up, and even the men of the Bat Prince showed up.

Chu Liuxiang had never heard of the Bat Prince and looked confused. Lu Xiaofeng briefly explained it, and Chu Liuxiang suddenly understood.

Xiao Qingzhou used Jin Jiuling as bait to lure out the Bat Prince, but it turned out that the man was hiding behind the scenes, and Xiao Qingzhou had to meet him himself.

Sikong Zhaixing suddenly remembered the rumors about Xiao Qingzhou: "It is said that he is now traveling with the young master of Wuzheng Mountain Villa..."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded silently.

Yes, that's right, the former young master is the Bat Prince himself.

Sikong Zhaixing: "..."

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

To a certain extent, this master of the Evil Valley is really worthy of the name...

After hearing the name of the owner of Qingyi Building from Lu Xiaofeng, the two of them felt even more powerless. The owners of these Jianghu forces were people they would never have thought of when they were guessing. You can't judge a person by his appearance, and it's not easy to survive in the Jianghu.

Sikong Zhaixing said, "I'm afraid you are also hypocritical people." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Impossible."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Maybe we are all very secretive people."

The three looked at each other for a while and laughed.

The topic ended here. Lu Xiaofeng decided to take a rest for one night before going to see Huo Xiu, and Chu Liuxiang said he would go with Lu Xiaofeng.

Sikong Zhaixing asked, "Is that girl going to go with us?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "I'll talk to her."

At the same time, Miss Shangguan met the killer from Qingyi Building. She was very surprised and didn't know what Huo Xiu was going to do.

"The boss asked you how your plan is going."

This refers to Shangguan Feiyan's plan to lure Wudu.

Shangguan Feiyan's expression froze, and she said, "That man won't buy my tricks." To prevent further questioning, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"Lu Xiaofeng is here." The killer said lightly, "The boss wants him to tell something."

"What is it?"

"I don't know."

Shangguan Feiyan: "..."

You didn't know and you chased Lu Xiaofeng here.

She felt incredible, Huo Xiu never told her what Lu Xiaofeng had done.

"Chu Liuxiang is looking for Lu Xiaofeng's traces, don't show up easily." Shangguan Feiyan said so, she didn't want to be suspected by the two.

Chu Liuxiang is a romantic and unrestrained man. The reason why Shangguan Feiyan decisively gave up Wu Du was one of the reasons, Wu Du's attitude, and another reason was that Chu Liuxiang was very charming.

But now, Shangguan Feiyan began to feel that traveling with Chu Liuxiang was not a good choice.

Who knew that Huo Xiu was staring at Lu Xiaofeng? Shouldn't they be very good friends on the surface

? Shangguan Feiyan

was puzzled. When Chu Liuxiang came back in the evening and told her that he had reunited with Lu Xiaofeng and was leaving with him, Shangguan Feiyan's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained unchanged, revealing a slightly regretful look.

Shangguan Feiyan asked with concern: "Is it to deal with the master of the Evil Valley?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "No."

He didn't say why, and Shangguan Feiyan didn't ask. After they separated, they went back to their own rooms and the night passed like this.

Roosters crowed, and the sky was getting light. Bu Zao lazily counted the roosters on his bed, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it - ah -"

Bu Zao asked even though he knew the answer.

"It's me." Sikong Zhaixing said, "Aren't you going to make porridge today?"

When the two of them were dining partners, Bu Zao made lean meat porridge every day and shared it with the people in the restaurant.

Bu Zao lazily got out of bed and opened the door. Sikong Zhaixing changed back to his original appearance as Xiaoyi and looked at Bu Zao triumphantly.

"You -" Bu Zao slightly widened his eyes, "Who is it?"

"..."

If Bu Zao had reacted like this yesterday, Sikong Zhaixing could still accept it, but now this face was right in front of him, and he thought this person was definitely playing dumb.

Sikong Zhaixing: "Your ancestor."

Bu Zao: "My ancestor has been dead for eight hundred years. Are you a ghost?"

Sikong Zhaixing ignored this sentence and said, "You should know who I am now."

They met twice yesterday and today. Sikong Zhaixing is a familiar face to Bu Zao today, so he must have some guesses.

Sect Leader Bu looked at him deeply and smiled slightly.

"Of course I know. Lord Sikong."

He has always known.

Turning his eyes, Lu Xiaofeng in front was looking at them and looking at Bu Zao.

After a moment, Bu Zao smiled and greeted Lu Xiaofeng cheerfully: "Were you also woken up by Lord Sikong?"

Lu Xiaofeng suppressed the weirdness in his heart - he just saw the smile on Bu Zao's face, a little mysterious, as if he was looking at something - maybe he was just mistaken.

"Yes." Lu Xiaofeng said.

"Don't talk nonsense. It was your snoring that woke me up first. I could hear it clearly even next door to you."

"I don't snore!"

The two started arguing.

Ayuya was silently thinking about what to eat today... he could just make do with it.

*

The fish Bu Zao sold to Lu Xiaofeng at a discount was very similar to the token of the Salted Fish Sect. Lu Xiaofeng was very concerned about this. When asked about the early start, Bu Zao said it might be a coincidence. Maybe the leader of the Salted Fish Sect likes to eat fish.

Of course, such a casual answer could not be taken seriously. Lu Xiaofeng put away the wooden fish and said no more.

The group of them quickly said goodbye to Bu Zao, and Sikong Zhaixing also wanted to go with them. Of course, Bu Zao, a passerby with low martial arts background, could not volunteer to be an audience and say goodbye to a few people.

Although they had only known each other for a few days, they all had a very good impression of him. Just like Bu Zao showed himself to be, cheerful, occasionally making harmless jokes, happy like a child when laughing, and also had many skills. Such a person was rare.

The impression of Bu Zao was far above the passing line, and his achievements were outstanding.

...

The mountains in the distance were verdant, and the lake was sparkling.

Shangguan Feiyan was a little depressed, and everything that had happened recently was not satisfactory. The

Qingyi Building killer who met him that day had already left with Lu Xiaofeng. Since she didn't know that they were going to Huo Xiu's place, Shangguan Feiyan was very at ease to fish.

She was relaxing by the lake at this time, staring at the rippling blue waves of the lake in a trance.

The back figure was lonely and thin, and compared with the willow trees by the lake, it looked like a weak willow in the wind.

A slightly dull voice sounded behind her.

"Ms. Shangguan, why are you here?"

Shangguan Feiyan was puzzled by the strange voice and tone. She turned her head and saw a smiling mask facing her. Under the crescent-shaped smiling eyes were a pair of dark eyes like the abyss. Shangguan Feiyan

was shocked and shuddered. She stood up subconsciously and distanced herself from the person who suddenly appeared.

The man in front of her didn't have any murderous or malicious intentions, but his intimidating presence was real. Shangguan Feiyan knew he was up to no good.

"Who are you?"

As soon as she said that, Shangguan Feiyan found her voice trembling. She dug her fingernails into her palms to keep herself calm.

"I am just a passerby."

The smiling face on the mask was so bright and permeable, and the man's tone of voice sounded as if he was saying that the weather was very good today.

"If you are a passerby, don't bother me--" Shangguan Feiyan said softly, "How do you know my name?"

"I know a lot. But it doesn't matter." The smiling mask said happily, "Miss Shangguan, aren't you going to find that old man? Take me with you."

"...What old man?"

Shangguan Feiyan's heart was in turmoil.

Impossible... How could such a strange person know the relationship between her and Huo Xiu!

"It's the old man surnamed Huo." The smiley mask said, "You are really not good at playing dumb. The answer is written on your face. Let's go and meet him together."

Shangguan Feiyan racked her brains. The scene at this time was beyond her expectations. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she said excitedly: "You are Chongming! Chongming from Wanwu Building!"

The only person who could know Huo Xiu's identity was the people from Wanwu Building!

And the man in front of her was wearing a mask, obviously not wanting people to see his face. Chongming was wearing a silver mask, right?

So he must be Chongming!

Hearing this conclusion, the smiley mask was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a burst of laughter. At the end of the laughter, he even broke his voice. Shangguan Feiyan was confused and gradually became uneasy.

"Thinking of me as him... maybe I should compliment you." The man stopped laughing and said with a smile, "No, I'm not him."

"Then who are you--"

Shangguan Feiyan was anxious. The man in front of her was too weird, and the smiling mask made her feel creepy.

More importantly, this man had been releasing a terrifying pressure. Shangguan Feiyan had the illusion that she would be killed if she behaved impolitely.

"I've already said that I'm just a passerby."

The smiling mask said so.

"..."

"Miss Shangguan, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm asking you to go with me."

"..."

Shangguan Feiyan knew she had no right to refuse, so she gritted her teeth and tried to fight back, saying, "I promise you! But you have to tell me why!"

The smiley mask tilted its head and said with a smile, "That's fine, but it depends on my mood."

Shangguan Feiyan: "………………"

She wanted to turn around and jump into the lake, so that she could avoid this inexplicable guy in front of her.
