Chapter 402: This Master Feng’s method of winning favor is really too high

"Young Master, do you want me to go and bring him back?" Long Aotian was eager to try.

"Well, go and catch him. I want to see who has the courage to steal my horse." Lu Li sneered.

"Yes." After hearing Lu Li's order, Long Aotian immediately rode his horse to chase in the direction Feng Qi left.

Not long after, he came back with his head down and dejected.

"My Lord, I am incompetent and lost the person." Long Aotian was very ashamed.

This was the first thing he took the initiative to ask the Crown Princess to do, but he failed miserably.

How could he have the face to see the Crown Princess?

"It doesn't matter. I believe he will come back on his own soon." Lu Li did not blame him too much. Combined with what happened before, she had a vague guess about Feng Qi's identity.

She had heard from her father that Long Aotian had an extremely keen sense of smell and could track people from a hundred miles away.

Feng Qi was able to shake off Long Aotian, so he must have some special self-defense method.

Since he was pestering her so persistently to repay her kindness, he would definitely not leave like this and would definitely come back.

"Yes." Long Aotian responded, and silently rode his horse to catch up with Qu Songnian.

He wanted to go to his good brother to complain.

After Long Aotian left, Lu Can was a little curious: "Sister Nine, how do you know he will come back?"

"I guessed." Lu Li was a little sleepy and was too lazy to explain so much to him, so she just made up a story.

Lu Can: ...

Ninth sister just gave him a perfunctory response!

But when he saw Lu Li closed her eyes and seemed very tired, he did not ask any more questions.

Anyway, what Ninth Sister has said over the years is bound to happen, so he should not ask any more questions and disturb her rest.

Um!

When that man surnamed Feng comes back, we will know the truth.

The carriage continued to move forward, and when it was getting dark, Qin Xiao ordered everyone to stop and set up camp.

After all, there was no town on the way to the Valley of Divine Medicine, so we couldn't go to an inn and could only rest in the open air.

As soon as the bonfire was lit, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

Everyone immediately became alert.

But as the horses drew closer, they could see the man's face clearly.

"Mr. Feng, you stole the horse and dare to come back?" Long Aotian drew his knife and looked at Feng Qi with an angry face.

Fengqi was a little confused.

"Who said I stole a horse? What's so good about stealing a horse?"

"You were penniless and were rescued by our young master. There's nothing strange about stealing horses and exchanging them for silver." Long Aotian argued.

Fengqi: "If I stole the horse to exchange for silver, why would I come back now?"

Long Aotian: ...

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Feng Qi held the things in her arms and walked towards Lu Li carefully.

"Mr. Lu, look, I brought you your favorite dishes: rabbit with green onions and bamboo shoots and fern wontons."

Lu Li was a little surprised. How did he know that she liked to eat these?

"You left suddenly today just to buy me food?"

"Yeah." Feng Qi smiled and passed the food he was guarding over.

Of course Lu Li would not refuse to eat such delicious food in such a remote place.

"Brother, this thing is of unknown origin and cannot be eaten." Lu Can hurriedly stopped him and tried to snatch the food from Feng Qi.

Feng Qi groaned and hastily pulled off his sleeves.

Lu Li had sharp eyes and noticed a red mark on his wrist, which looked like a new injury.

"Don't worry, Miss Lu. I also brought your favorite thin-skinned spring buns." Feng Qi handed him another hidden package.

Lu Can was stunned.

"How do you know I like this?"

"It's not difficult to find out as long as you pay attention." Feng Qi smiled at him.

"You two brothers and sisters took me in. I can't just eat for free. I should think of a way to repay you."

When Feng Qi said this, Lu Can suddenly felt embarrassed.

Even though people wanted to be nice to him, he was still suspicious of them and full of prejudice against them.

But after a moment, he came to his senses.

"That's not right. You are penniless. Where do you get the money to buy these foods? These things are not cheap." Lu Can said with a serious face.

Oops, I was almost blinded by Fengqi's smile just now.

"The young lady knows my ability. I can ward off beasts. Naturally, I brought Xiao Huang with me to perform my skills and taught it to say many auspicious words to the nobles in exchange for a reward of silver." After Feng Qi finished speaking, he whistled and the stupid parrot flew over.

After Fengqi taught it to speak that day, Lu Li kept it, named it Xiao Huang, and let Fengqi be responsible for taking care of it.

"Xiao Huang, said that the young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, and is the second best person in the world."

Xiao Huang did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly repeated it.

"The young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is the second best person in the world."

Lu Can's face suddenly turned red.

It seems that he did misunderstand Fengqi.

He is really not a bad person.

"But why is it second best?" he couldn't help asking.

"Because Mr. Lu saved my life, he is the best man in the world." Feng Qi looked at Lu Li with a smile.

Lu Li finished eating the wontons without changing his expression before speaking.

"What happened to your hand?"

Fengqi subconsciously hid his hands behind his body.

"Nothing."

"If you don't want to say anything, just leave." Lu Li raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Feng Qi's fair face turned red instantly. He bit his lip and spoke after a while.

"I found a chef to teach me how to cook, but I didn't expect that although I had a talent for cooking, I had no idea how to cook. I was clumsy and ended up burning myself."

"Why do you want to learn how to cook?" Lu Li was confused.

She doesn't need a cook, so at worst she can just buy one on the way.

"I'm afraid you think I'm useless and don't want me." Feng Qi lowered her head.

The last three words were spoken so lightly that they were blown away by the wind.

If it weren't for Lu Li's amazing hearing, she probably wouldn't have heard it.

She remembered what Fengqi said that day.

The first thing she asked was - can you cook?

Watching this scene, Qu Songnian couldn't help but look at the bewildered Long Aotian standing aside, and sighed secretly in his heart.

This Young Master Feng's means of winning favor are truly extraordinary. If Brother Aotian enters the Crown Princess' harem in the future, he will definitely not be able to compete with this Young Master Feng.

"Don't leave suddenly next time. If you need to go out for something, remember to tell me first." Lu Li looked at Feng Qi for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, I will. After all, I am yours and I should tell you where I am going. Today I was too anxious and inconsiderate." Feng Qi, who had been unhappy, relaxed when she heard this.

Lu Li:?

This sounds weird, as if something is wrong, but it also seems to make sense.

"Young master, would you like some red bean cake?" Feng Qi took out a few pieces of red bean cake from his pocket like a magic trick to coax Lu Xuan.

Because Lu Xuan looked too eye-catching in a skirt, Lu Li asked someone to change him back into men's clothes.

Everyone now calls him Young Master.

"Thank you." Lu Xuan thanked happily and took it.

He likes to eat sweet cakes.

Seeing that Feng Qi and Lu Xuan were playing together, Lu Li did not call him over to question them.

Anyway, if he stays by my side, there will be plenty of time to interrogate him in the future. There is a long time to come, so there is no need to rush now.

…

After a good night's rest, everyone set off again.

Five days later, they arrived at the entrance of the Valley of Divine Medicine.
