He Yunxiao mainly served Chu Chu her meals, and only then did he occasionally satisfy his own hunger.
He used a small knife and fork to pick up a small piece of meat and handed it to Chu Chu. As soon as Chu Chu took it, he immediately switched hands, picked up the chopsticks, and shoved a chunk of meat into his mouth, chewing it without a second thought.
He Yunxiao ate meat ferociously while elegantly forking a new piece of meat for Chu Chu and handing it to her.
Liu Feiyun wasn't hungry, but seeing He Yunxiao's fierceness, she subconsciously swallowed.
"Brother He, there's an empty table over here, why don't you..."
He Yunxiao ate the meat in big bites, "It's okay, I..." He chewed and chewed, "My cousin and I can just squeeze in." After saying that, he picked up another big bite of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Feiyun stood to the side of the table, while He Yunxiao rested his arm on the table, turned sideways, looked at Liu Feiyun, and chewed loudly.
The meaning is quite clear: Don't stand there and get in the way unless you have something to do.
Liu Feiyun didn't want to leave; the problem hadn't been solved yet.
"Brother He, why don't you sit at the table next to Miss Zhang?"
He Yunxiao was unwilling. The space was indeed spacious, but how could he pass on his skills here? How could he not pass on his skills? What I, He Yunxiao, love most is to diligently practice my skills!
I didn't want to sit there, but I needed Liu Feiyun's help after all, and it wouldn't be good to refuse him.
He Yunxiao stood up and said, "Brother Liu, I have a foolproof plan."
Liu Feiyun didn't care what He Yunxiao wanted, as long as he behaved himself and sat inconspicuously like an ordinary person, everything would be fine.
"What plan?"
He Yunxiao got up, walked to the empty table next door, picked it up, and placed it next to Chu Chu's table, making them one.
"Is this alright? I've indeed moved to the next table now." Having satisfied Liu Feiyun's request, He Yunxiao sat down with a sense of relief.
Originally, He Yunxiao and Chu Chu sitting together were as conspicuous as a pebble in rice—obvious, but not extremely conspicuous. Now, after He Yunxiao moved the table, his conspicuousness had changed from a pebble in rice to a windowpane being exposed at night—it could be hidden, but it couldn't be hidden any longer.
Many of the martial artists around were already looking in their direction, and some had even recognized He Yunxiao.
"Isn't that spoiled brat surnamed He? What's he doing here?"
"Ah, I heard he's the eldest son of some marquis."
"Really?"
"If I heard it with my own ears, how could it be false?"
"Which marquis is it?"
"His name is Wu, what's with the Wu thing? Anyway, he must have some power, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, right?"
"How did he, a member of the imperial court, manage to sneak into our sword-testing tournament?"
"Letting the imperial dogs in, does the Liu family still want to live in peace?"
"I heard that the Short Sword Gang has run into trouble recently, most likely it was done by the imperial court. Could the Liu family be in cahoots with the imperial court?"
He Yunxiao didn't care about his reputation, but Liu Feiyun did, especially since it concerned the Liu family's sword-testing tournament.
Three men can make a tiger, and many voices can melt metal; we must be wary.
"Brother He...you...why don't you...I'll find you another place to eat?"
He Yunxiao was still hungry. Ever since he took the Soul-Devouring Pill, his appetite had increased significantly. He could now eat the equivalent of three or four people's portions.
Compared to eating, career is more important.
"Brother Liu, isn't my matter of those gold and silver vouchers a bit difficult to handle?" Since Liu Feiyun wanted him to back down, He Yunxiao had to take the opportunity to give him a warning. A tit-for-tat exchange.
Liu Feiyun gritted his teeth and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. I will definitely handle it properly for Brother He."
Having received the promise, He Yunxiao figured the matter was pretty much settled and was happy to give Liu Feiyun face.
It's just about eating at a different place.
"Cousin, let's go eat somewhere else."
Chu Chu glared at He Yunxiao, as if she was angry at his casual attitude.
Getting Zuixianju to support gold and silver vouchers wasn't "random"; it was a huge bargain. But He Yunxiao didn't intend to explain to Chuchu, as she definitely wouldn't understand.
"Come on, I'll give you the knife and the plate."
Chu Chu was unwilling to move, so He Yunxiao grabbed her hand. Once he grabbed her hand, Chu Chu became more obedient and was half-pushed and half-pulled up by He Yunxiao, and followed behind him.
"Brother Liu, where should we eat?"
Liu Feiyun first led He Yunxiao out of the main hall, and after circling around, they returned to this place, but not to the main hall, but to a side hall they entered through the back door.
This side hall is quite interesting. It's not a large place, and it's only separated from the main hall by a screen. Moreover, it's located in the front, and He Yunxiao can even see the martial arts masters in the Yuan and Jia seats in the main hall behind the screen.
There were no chairs in the hall, but Liu Feiyun had one brought out and placed it for He Yunxiao to sit on.
"Brother He, please make do here for a moment. I'll have someone serve you some food right away."
He Yunxiao waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter, "Hurry up and serve the food."
Liu Feiyun withdrew to continue entertaining the guests, and the dishes he had promised He Yunxiao were immediately served.
The Liu family really went all out.
Pork belly, roast chicken, roast duck, stewed fish, braised pork hock...cascoo.net
All of them were hearty dishes.
These are dishes that you wouldn't order even when you're throwing a lavish dinner at a restaurant.
However, for martial artists, meat is indeed the best choice to replenish their strength.
He Yunxiao tore off a large piece of pork knuckle and stuffed his mouth full of oil.
Since no one was around, Chu Chu saw no need to wear a veil, so she removed it to eat. However, even with the veil off, her refusal to eat remained unchanged; she would sulk and refuse to eat whenever He Yunxiao wasn't paying attention to her.
For example, right now, there's a table full of delicious food, but Chu Chu hasn't touched a single bite.
Seeing that Chu Chu wasn't eating, He Yunxiao swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Chu Chu, are you full?"
"I don't want to eat," Chu Chu said coldly.
He Yunxiao, who was at the level 10 in "Chu language", immediately understood that "don't want to eat" = not full + want to eat + you decide.
Having just eaten a hearty meal, He Yunxiao felt full and wasn't so hungry anymore. Now he focused on serving his aunt.
Since there was no need to use a knife to serve food without a veil, He Yunxiao first placed a piece of pork knuckle on a plate, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and then brought the plate to his aunt's mouth. Spoons and chopsticks were prepared for her, and she could use whichever she liked.
Even when the bowl was brought to her lips, Chu Chu didn't move, her face remaining cold.
As is customary, at this point, you have to give Chuchu a way out, otherwise she'll be proud and unwilling to back down, and if you don't give her a way out, she'll keep sulking.
But as soon as you offer her a way out, she'll obediently walk down it herself. Whether she ends up in the sack or the sedan chair, it's up to you then. In short, the best way to win her over is to do it while she's walking down the steps; the success rate is extremely high.
Every time I asked her to pass on her skills, it was like this. It seemed like I was begging her, but in reality, I was taking all the benefits.
"Lord Chuchu, if you don't start eating soon, Xiao He won't be able to hold the plate."
Chu Chu glanced at He Yunxiao, but made no move.
"Chuchu, have something to eat."
"You beg me..."
"Okay, okay, please, please, please eat your food."
