Maomao's exclamation brought Cang Lan back from her extremely focused reading state.

"What's wrong?"

Cang Lan immediately closed the "Master's Cookbook" and looked back at Xia Lianxing.

Just listen to the girl murmuring:

"This...is this actually what Sister Hualing concluded...?!"

At this time, the level of shock in her heart was beyond words.

"How can she be thinner than Bai Xue?! I don't usually see her observing us..."

The girl's mind is filled with questions.

In Xia Lianxing's heart, Sister Hualing has always only had her master in her eyes, and she has almost completely turned a blind eye to her servants... It would be better to say that she is indifferent to everything except her master.

But now...according to the detailed clues in this recipe, Xia Lianxing has every reason to suspect that she may have penetrated many of the secrets hidden in the hearts of the sisters...

The scary thing is that no one knows how she collected this information.

"Uh...'Sister Hualing' is...?"

Cang Lan had never seen Hua Ling before, so she asked with some doubts.

She only remembered that Bai Xue mentioned it once seriously when he handed the "Master's Cookbook" to her:

"This is Sister Hualing's belongings, please be sure, be sure, be careful to keep them."

At that time, she felt that the identity of the owner of an item that could be so valued must be extraordinary.

Later I learned that most of the recipes in it were written by Palace Master Lu, and a small part were improved and perfected by Sister Hualing, and all the annotations and tips in it were also written by Hualing.

Handwriting.

The reason why people can become addicted to it is not only because this book is a unique top-level recipe tutorial in the world, but also because the taste preferences of Lu Lingqiu and each spirit envoy can reveal their personalities. This information is very useful for any other spirit.

Everything is very important.

Cang Lan was attracted by the annotation, so she "studyed" everyone day and night, in order to cater to everyone's tastes in a short period of time, cater to their preferences, and avoid lightning.

Before thinking too much, Xia Lianxing replied absently:

"She is the 'Spiritual Envoy' of Jinghua Palace."

"'Spiritual Envoy'..." Cang Lan was thoughtful.

Although I don't know what the duties of the "Spirit Chief" are, it sounds like he is above the other sisters and seems to be very powerful.

At this moment, Xia Lianxing's mind has already been attracted by the content of this book. His mind is full of how to get it into his hands and absorb all the knowledge points in it as quickly as possible...

She did it as soon as she thought of it. She suddenly cleared her throat and asked with a smile:

"That... Cang Lan."

"Um?"

"By the way, are you almost finished reading this book?"

The girl held her arm affectionately and sat on the seat next to her.

"Not yet. There is still a lot of important content that I haven't memorized yet..."

Cang Lan thought: "Besides, I want to review it a few more times, after all..."

"Ahem, that's not necessary. It's completely unnecessary."

Then Xia Lianxing interrupted:

"I think your cooking skills are very good now! You see, the master praised you a few days ago, right?"

Cang Lan frowned:

"That's what I said, but it's still far from Bai Xue..."

"No, no no no."

The girl waved her little hands in exactly the same posture as Jin Yu, and began to talk nonsense seriously:

"You know? A real chef needs to explore on his own based on a certain level of strength! I heard that the only way to achieve the ultimate goal is to create new cuisines and develop your own special dishes.

.You are already great now, and you can definitely embark on the path of exploration! So..."

"Senior Lianxing."

"……Why?!"

But Cang Lan asked in a low voice with no expression on her face:

"Do you want to borrow it for a few days?"

"?!"

"I...this..." Although I had already known that she was very smart, the speed at which she saw through it was too...

Seeing Xia Lianxing's blushing face and hesitating, Cang Lan smiled, pushed the "Master's Recipe" in front of her, and said:

"Take it. Just give it back to me after you finish reading it."

"!!!"

This move was beyond Maomao's expectations. She was startled, and then she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart and sighed:

"You're too good!"

"Haha, it's okay. You are a senior, just tell me such things directly, I will not refuse."

Cang Lan smiled softly, and a certain feeling of a mature big sister hit the girl's heart, which made Xia Lianxing's pink cheeks feel a little hot for a moment.

"Then...then I won't be polite."

She carefully held the book in her hands, caressed the old cover with care, and turned around and secretly touched the word "master" countless times before she contentedly put it into her storage bag.

middle.

Such a masterpiece must be enjoyed secretly while lying in bed in the dead of night.

The girl thought so.

After a brief interlude, the two women began to sit on one side and share breakfast. Through this incident, the distance between them also became much closer invisibly.

Of course, a beautiful morning must start with a good mood. Not long after, Sha Ling and Bai Xue also came to the central hall one after another to enjoy the delicious food.

In the past, apart from Cang Lan and Xia Lianxing who were doing cooking and cleaning tasks, Bai Xue was the first to wake up. Sha Ling only came to the central hall to dine occasionally. Like Yan Ye, the frequency of her appearances was very irregular.

.

Being able to come here so early today obviously means that she is in a good mood.

"Good morning Bai Xue, good morning Xiao Ling-senpai."

Xia Lianxing put down her fork politely and greeted them.

"Good morning, seniors."

Cang Lan also stood up and saluted respectively.

Although it is not necessary, she still wants to join the Mirror Flower Palace in her heart. If she fails, it will be an irreversible destiny; if she succeeds, then they will become her seniors, so it is not superfluous to prepare etiquette in advance.

"Good morning! Lianxing, Canglan, you are so diligent..."

Seeing that the house was so clean before dawn, and the food on the table was hot... Bai Xue couldn't help but sigh.

Having experienced it herself, she naturally knows how much time and energy it takes to do these seemingly simple tasks well.

"No way, as long as the master is satisfied." Xia Lianxing pulled Cang Lan to sit down again and said with a smile.

Bai Xue gently rubbed her slender fingertips against the spotless tabletop, then put her fingers in front of her eyes to observe, and said with emotion:

"Even the tables and chairs are polished so finely...and the food Cang Lan recently cooked is so delicious, the master will definitely be satisfied."

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Ling also nodded in agreement, and quickly sat down in her seat and picked up her cup of hot coconut milk.

"Haha...that's right~"

Every time he saw Sha Ling, Xia Lianxing had the urge to go up and rub her...but he didn't dare.

In fact, she discovered in the last few meetings that Senior Xiao Ling's personality is completely different from that of Sister Hualing, and they are not scary in the true sense.

Sister Hualing only has the master in her heart, and it is difficult for other beings to approach her (even easy to die suddenly). Even speaking a word will make people feel a lot of pressure; while Senior Xiaoling is very scary on the surface, once you get to know her,

, everyone will gradually discover that she is an enthusiastic loli who is very willing to help her juniors and is easy to talk to. She is completely different from her cold state when doing "work".

Especially after experiencing the battle of guarding Tianshan, Loli's initially prickly character became much more restrained, and it seemed easier to communicate with others. All of this was inseparable from Bai Xue's meticulous and proactive care.

of.

The warmth of the sunrise fell on the lonely city. The four women sat on both sides of the long table, enjoying the food and drinks warmly.

"By the way, Bai Xue, how is the progress of your practice?"
