"Here it comes, Aojun. This is your favorite Xianglian with rock sugar. I know this kind of traditional snack can only be found in Beijing. It is produced in the Dongting Lake area. However, I specially asked someone to bring these lotus seeds from Beijing. They are very delicious. How about you try them?"

Shen Aojun pursed her lips to thank him, and took a bite. Unexpectedly, it was the same as what she ate in Beijing. The best quality had red lotus and white lotus. The white lotus was round and white, soft and fragrant. She smiled and said, "Yunru. You are really thoughtful."

Gu Yunru quickly waved his hands and smiled, "How could it be that I was the one who did it on purpose? It should be you who did it on purpose. After all these years, you finally got around to bringing Huan'er and An'er here for me to see. I didn't expect that Huan'er has grown into such a beautiful girl." Gu Yunru stroked Huan'er's head affectionately, but An'er looked serious, as if she didn't like to interact with others.

This serious look was really shocking, and Gu Yunru felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ahem, hurry up and use your chopsticks. The food won't taste good if it gets cold." Gu Yunru asked everyone to sit down, while on the other side of the screen, Xiangping was carrying a basket on his back, preparing to go up the mountain to pick some golden bamboo shoots and stone fungus to make a Yipintang hotpot, which would be the best.

She ran to several hills and finally collected some good ingredients, but she found that to get more precious ingredients, she needed to climb halfway up the mountain. However, there was a cliff below which seemed very dangerous. Fortunately, she brought some necessary equipment that could save her life in dangerous times. So she threw the eagle claw directly on the top of the cliff, pulled it carefully, and found that no loose rocks rolled down, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh!" Xiang Ping took a deep breath and began to climb up on the protruding stones. When she was about to grab the stone ear, her hand slipped and she fell down. At this moment, a figure appeared quickly, held her in his arms and saved her life. When she felt her feet on the ground, she realized that she was safe.

"Ji Heng!" Xiang Ping was shocked to see that it was this devil. He stretched out his hand to push him away and patted the dirt on his sleeves as if he had touched something extremely dirty. This action deeply hurt his heart.

Ji Heng smiled in confusion and said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm your savior." Xiang Ping rolled his eyes. When he saw Xue'er and Xue Linglong appear together in white dresses, he almost thought they were the same person.

"Xue'er, why are you with the devil of the Qingcang Sect? Come back quickly. Sister Gu and Brother Rong are very worried about your safety!" Xiangping saw Xue'er and was overjoyed. He called her to quickly leave the team that was helping the cult members.

Xue'er looked at Xue Linglong beside her, grabbed her hand, walked to Xiangping and said, "Xiangping, let me introduce you, this is my sister Xue Linglong."

When Xiangping heard that Xue Linglong was Xue'er's sister, he was completely dumbfounded and twitched his mouth helplessly. Several people came to the stream, where the scenery was pleasant, surrounded by mountains and green peaks.

It was the best thing to do a barbecue by the stream. Ji Heng went down to the river to catch fish, Xue'er and Xue Linglong went up the mountain to hunt. With Xue Linglong's kung fu, it was easy to catch wild rabbits, sika deer, and birds. Xiang Ping prepared firewood, washed the vegetables, put them on bamboo sticks, and built a simple grill.

Put the ingredients on it, steam and bake them, apply some oil and sprinkle some seasonings on them, and the aroma will spread quickly.

"It smells so good. It never smelled so good when my junior sister and I made beggar's chicken before!" Ji Heng couldn't help but take a big bite of the rabbit meat. The rabbit meat was delicate and chewy, and it went down her throat in a short while in her mouth.

Xiang Ping's cooking skills are indeed well-known. Xiang Ping looked at Ji Heng, who was usually arrogant and domineering, and unexpectedly turned out to be a real foodie. He shook his head with a smile and looked at Xue Linglong in front of him and said, "So Miss Xue, you already knew that Xue'er is your sister. Then why didn't you recognize her before and went through so much trouble? And do you have any purpose for coming down the mountain this time?"

Xiangping was worried that this group of evil cult members would come back with another bloody storm, and then the common people would be the ones to suffer.

"Don't worry, we came back this time to return the Qingguang Sword to the prince." Xue Linglong looked at Ji Heng beside her. He had already skillfully used the secret of the Qingguang Sword, but the properties of the Qingguang Sword were very conflicting with him. The Qingguang Sword still recognized its master.

"Yes, and Master has said that as long as he lives, he will not provoke those innocent people. Of course, we should not offend others unless they offend us. This has always been the rule of our Qingcang Sect! It's just that some people deliberately smear the reputation of our Qingcang Sect."

Ji Heng's words made sense. Xiang Ping nodded thoughtfully. On the other side, everyone in Huajianlou had finished their meal. Shen Aojun came to the attic to visit Yaya and smiled knowingly at the chubby little child.

"Yunru, I saw in your letter before that you gave birth to a baby girl. I didn't expect that I could finally touch her now. This pink jade bracelet looks exactly like you." Shen Aojun looked at Gu Yunru in front of him. Although he was not as amazed as when he first saw her, he found her pleasing to the eye after looking at her for such a long time. Moreover, the child has grown up to be so handsome, which must be due to the efforts of their parents.

"Ao Jun, you have been helping me manage my business in the capital over the years. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not that hard, but there is something I have to tell you. The emperor has been coveting your business for a long time and wants to take away all the businesses under your name for his own use. He said that no one should be allowed to become as rich as a country. This is very dangerous. I'm sure you have heard about this."

Shen Aojun came to visit, but it was not just a simple visit. She had been living in dire straits in the capital these days. Ever since the second prince ascended the throne, he had carried out major reforms and overthrown the old system from long ago. Although there had been some progress this reform, the people were still complaining.

"I know those businesses. He has been eyeing them for a long time. If he wants them, just give them to him. Anyway...what I want now is for everyone to master skills and create wealth, rather than hoarding wealth and depriving everyone of the opportunity to get rich."
