But.
This won't do.
Uncle Gu's job might be even more dangerous than Ji Zichen's.
Ji Zichen almost lost his life when he was injured last time. She had seen him lying in the hospital bed, on the verge of death.
Seeing him like that, even though she only saw Ji Zichen as a lifeline and didn't have much affection for him, she was still very distressed. What if it were her mother?
Mom likes Uncle Gu.
If things go any further, if Uncle Gu gets injured like Ji Zichen...
How heartbroken and distressed must her mother be?
Thinking of this, Xuancao's small face scrunched up.
More than half an hour later.
Dinner is ready.
Yu Mingxiang's family and Lao Yuan were not familiar with each other, and Gu Guanhai was ill and unable to move, so she brought their meals to the main room.
A kang table was placed on the kang.
After setting out the food, Yu Mingxiang smiled and said amidst Lao Yuan's thanks, "You two are familiar with each other and feel comfortable eating together, so I won't let the children accompany you. Please forgive any shortcomings."
After saying that, she left the room.
Old Yuan: ……
The aroma of the food had me itching to eat.
Seeing her leave, he hurriedly picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then.
"Um?"
Old Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Delicious! This is so incredibly delicious!"
He had traveled all over the country and tasted all sorts of delicacies, but the food at the Qin family's house...
He was truly amazed!
"This doesn't look like ordinary stir-fried vegetables!"
Old Yuan made a judgment almost instantly, turned to look at Gu Guanhai, and said with a thoughtful expression, "My men should have been to your hometown."
"I don't recall any auspicious sites or treasure troves being discovered here. Where did the Qin family get these ingredients from?"
The Yuan family is a family of geomancers.
Old Yuan also practices geomancy.
He knew better than anyone that only in a place with uniquely favorable feng shui could rare and precious materials be nurtured.
For example, ginseng that's a hundred years old, or lingzhi mushrooms that's a thousand years old, but...
The dishes from the Qin family seemed to have a unique, almost divine quality, which surprised Old Yuan.
Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.
I know that some things can't escape Lao Yuan's watchful eye.
But to my surprise, Old Yuan had such sharp eyes.
No.
More accurately, it's the tip of the mouth.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Old Yuan and said, "It came from her hands."
Old Yuan was speechless upon hearing this.
Looking puzzled, he asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'from her hands'?"
Gu Guanhai: ...
He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate, "You really think I called you here just so you could help me woo a wife?"
Old Yuan: ……
"Otherwise what?"
Gu Guanhai: "Let me tell you, the woman I've set my sights on isn't an ordinary person. She should be with you..."
He looked at Old Yuan and pondered, "Like your men, he has some special abilities."
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan exclaimed, "??!"
He immediately sat up straight.
"What do you mean?"
He looked at Gu Guanhai with a serious expression and said, "You mean, Yu Mingxiang has awakened a superpower? What kind of superpower is it? Is she in danger?"
Gu Guanhai heard this: ...
She glanced at him and said, "So what if there's danger? So what if there isn't? She's the woman I've set my sights on!"
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan changed his previous nonchalant attitude and said solemnly, "Regardless of whether she is the woman you have your eye on, those with awakened superpowers are beyond the realm of ordinary people and fall under the jurisdiction of my Superpower Bureau!"
"Those who are virtuous, keep them!"
"Those who are wicked shall be punished!"
