He lowered his eyes at the stove and found some fruit plates, including pomegranates, pears, and autumn oranges. The younger junior sister was lowering her head, carefully cutting out finely chopped fruit pulp with a kitchen knife, and putting it all on a plate. Then she took out the fine icing sugar.

, a small jar with plum brine and perilla seeds, scoop out a spoonful from time to time and mix it into the fruit plate.

A bit like fruit salad.

"This snack is called Chunlan Qiuju. I'm new to this. Try it."

Xie Lingjiang's eyes curled up.

Ouyang Rong nodded and glanced at the "Spring Orchids and Autumn Chrysanthemums" on the plate calmly.

Now that he has said that, even if it is dark cuisine, he has to laugh and eat it all.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned his head and touched his slightly lowered forehead with his white forehead: "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, be careful not to cut your fingers."

"Are you worried about my sword skills?"

As she said this, she who was very ladylike just a second ago suddenly flipped her white and tender hands, and a kitchen knife whirled and danced, almost turning into a shadow. It was so easy.

Ouyang Rong was helpless: "Xinxinxin, please be careful, don't fly in my face."

"Just fly, fly."

"Then someone will be left a widow."

"Then... wouldn't it be possible to have a feast?"

"...??" Ouyang Rong.

Faced with the playful glance from his little junior sister, he couldn't bear it and quickly changed the topic:

"By the way, you've been accompanying Miss Qin recently. What's the progress of her and Da Lang now?"

"It's still the same."

"What's that like?"

"The closest we walk is three fists apart, and I haven't even touched it with my hands."

"Aren't they just like normal friends?"

"Um."

"It's almost ten years old, why is it so slow?" Ouyang Rong touched his chin and couldn't help but speculate: "Are they talking about a new kind of love?"

"Yeah, it's too slow. I don't know if it's new or not, but it will definitely take a lot of time. We probably won't be able to wait until that day." Xie Lingjiang nodded in agreement: "If Da Lang had half the skill of the senior brother, my uncle and aunt would now

I would have proposed marriage earlier. It would be great if the eldest brother came, wouldn't you say?"

"That's right, Da Lang, Da Lang, it seems I have to turn him around..." Ouyang Rong got stuck: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by having half my skill? What kind of skill do I have? Don't talk nonsense, I'll do it."

"Humph. The more I think about it now, the more I feel that you were dishonest before and just deceived me into being innocent and ignorant."

"Come on, little junior sister, please speak with your conscience. Isn't it inappropriate to use the word "innocent and ignorant" about you?"

"Bah, take your hand away. I'm cutting something, but the knife will fly out and cut off someone's big pig's trotters."

Ouyang Rong squeezed it, took it back, rubbed his face, and sighed softly as he looked at the virtuous cooking skills of his little junior sister.

"Are you worried?" She raised her little finger to tuck her hair behind her ear and asked gently.

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and gave a rough summary of what he had said to Lu Ya not long ago.

Xie Lingjiang immediately put down the kitchen knife and looked back with a frown: "Elder brother suddenly asked Lu why he pressed the talisman?"

Ouyang Rong thought for a moment, then silently took out a copy of "Zhen Gao" from his sleeve and threw it next to the kitchen knife on the chopping board.

Xie Lingjiang was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened: "The core technique of Shangqing Sect? Wait, isn't there some secret skill of Shangqing in it..."

Ouyang Rong nodded and talked about the frivolous Taoist priest in general.

"You...why didn't you tell me earlier?" She widened her pretty eyes.

"That night at Dagushan, when I successfully dealt with the frivolous Taoist priest, I suspected that Sanqing was betting on both sides and was afraid of exposing the enemy. Moreover, you and the teacher seemed to have a good personal relationship with Sanqing, and it was also the prince who you recommended to him. I was afraid that you would trap him.

It’s difficult to be a good person in the middle, so I pressed down the table and wanted to see the follow-up performance of Sanqing to see if I need to pretend to be stupid... "Zhengao" didn't mention it, and I never thought that I would be able to practice it in a blink of an eye."

"Don't do this in the future...wait a minute, senior brother can practice it?" Xie Lingjiang reacted, with a look of surprise on his face, and looked at the strange...monstrous senior brother in front of him again.

Ouyang Rong calmly said: "My veins are a little special."

After a pause, he sighed:

"The main reason is that I learned the whole story from Lu Ya today. It turns out that the frivolous Taoist priest broke off with the Shangqing Sect, and Master Yuan left again, so I feel relieved."

"Elder brother asked too straightforwardly today. Lu Ya may be suspicious, so we have to take precautions."

Xie Lingjiang did not blame him at all for hiding his intention for so many days. Instead, he frowned and quickly stepped in, thinking for him wholeheartedly:

"I went to see him at night to think about how to smooth things over for you. Well, I have to make him think that it was me who mentioned it to you, which made you curious to ask... They all say that there must be a monster when things go wrong, so I have to give it to you.

Find a reason."

He wanted to say that there was no need to go to such trouble, but if Lu Ya knew about it, the worst he could do was return the "Zhen Gao" that he had memorized silently, and tell him about the incident of manslaughter. Anyway, Lu Ya and the Shangqing Sect would not have thought of killing anyone who was not a Taoist priest.

, you can practice the core skills of the Ancestral Master Hall and the supreme knowledge of the Qing Dynasty.

But seeing the lovely frowning look on the beautiful woman in his arms who was thinking of him wholeheartedly, Ouyang Rong paused in his words, suddenly lowered his head and pecked the beautiful woman on the forehead.

Xie Lingjiang pushed him with a disgusted expression and scolded: "We are talking about business, and we haven't been able to show up all day long..."

Ouyang Rong had a stern face and hugged her forcefully.

At the same time, he raised one palm.

"Snapped--!"

There was a crisp sound in front of the stove, and the pink buttocks somewhere trembled in the aftermath, and he used his condescending power:

"Let's cook first and we'll talk later. You're starving to death. If the lady doesn't serve you, I, the king, will eat you first."

"..."

Xie Lingjiang's face turned red.
