Li Canyang glared at his partner, with a puzzled look on his face: "It is undeniable that the food Yi Ruo makes is a bit unpalatable, but it is not as exaggerated as you said." But when he spoke, he The corner of his mouth still couldn't help showing a twitch. The taste of something made by his cousin... Li Canyang swore that even if he ate coptis every day, he would never eat it again.
at this time-
"Headmaster Li of the Sequoia West Courtyard actually showed up at my restaurant in the Qingshan East Courtyard. What a rare visitor."
A cold voice came from the side.
Li Canyang and Xiao Chengxuan turned around and saw that at some point, a thin, fair-skinned young man wearing a green shirt and a pair of delicate willow eyebrows stood quietly beside them, without even noticing.
"It turns out to be Li Lan, the head of the academy." Li Canyang cupped his hand.
He recognized this seemingly weak young man as none other than Li Lan, the head of Qingshan East Campus, a young genius as unfathomable as Ding Hao.
"In less than four or five days, there will be the second competition among the five courtyards. The two of them appearing in my Qingshan East courtyard dining room at this time are really making people want to go crazy?" Li Lan glanced at someone sitting in the distance from the corner of his eye. Ding Hao and Li Yiruo were talking and laughing, but their tone was not polite.
Li Canyang smiled and said: "My roommate has an appointment with Senior Brother Ding Hao from the East Campus. As an elder brother, of course I have to accompany her."
Li Lan nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
The three of them came to Ding Hao's table one after another, said hello, and sat down.
"Brother Ding is so excited to be with a beautiful woman." Li Lan said with a touch of teasing in his tone.
Ding Hao just smiled and didn't say much.
However, Li Canyang keenly caught a trace of displeasure in Li Lan's words, discovered something, and secretly wondered whether the head of the Qingshan East Courtyard was also a secret admirer of his cousin, so he was slightly rude.
"In five days, there will be the second five-house competition. I wonder how Brother Ding is preparing for it?" Li Lan quickly changed the subject and asked calmly.
"It should be no problem." Ding Hao also smiled, raised his hand and gave each of the three a pair of chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Let's have a try together, Yi Ruo's craftsmanship is very good."
After being praised by Ding Hao, Li Yiruo showed a bright smile on his face.
Li Lan hesitated a little and raised his hand to take the chopsticks.
Xiao Chengxuan's expression suddenly changed, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. He slapped his forehead and said: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I still have an important thing to complete. I'll excuse you first, Brother Ding. I’ll treat you to a drink next time…”
As he said that, he ran away without even looking back.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Ding Hao's mouth. Of course he knew why Xiao Chengxuan ran away, and he didn't point it out.
Li Canyang opened his mouth, and finally took the chopsticks from Ding Hao's hand with great difficulty, but he just held them in his hands and refused to pick up the dishes on the plate.
Li Lan didn't know what was going on. He came to the dining room to eat, and he was actually a little hungry. The few plates of side dishes in front of him looked good, so he added them together and put them in his mouth.
At this moment, both Ding Hao and Li Canyang had strange smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Li Lan put the dish in his mouth and chewed it a few times. Suddenly, as if he was struck by lightning, his body suddenly stiffened, a layer of black flashed across his face, and a wisp of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if What you chew in your mouth is poison instead of food.
However, in the next moment, Li Lan looked up at Ding Hao and Li Canyang, and then acted as if nothing happened. He continued chewing calmly, and then swallowed.
After doing this, he calmly picked up the light wine in the cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He put the chopsticks on the table and never went to eat the food again.
However, Ding Hao and Li Canyang clearly saw that Li Lan's fingers were trembling slightly when he put down his chopsticks.
"Eh? What's going on? Why do you have such expressions?" Li Yiruo obviously didn't understand what happened. He just felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. He looked around with doubts on the faces of the three people.
Ding Hao laughed, slowly picked up the dishes on the plate, and ate them slowly and elegantly.
His movements were leisurely, his posture was chic, and he ate each bite carefully, as if he was eating the most delicious thing in the world.
Li Lan looked at Ding Hao quietly for a long time, then sighed softly, shook his head and said, "I'm really not as good as you."
Li Canyang also looked at Ding Hao with an incredible expression, as if he was looking at a monster.
"You don't have to look at me with such admiration." Ding Hao chuckled, with a hint of schadenfreude flashing deep in his eyes. He raised his hand and put a few pieces of vegetables on their plates, and said with a smile: "Now that you've sat down, it's time to Let’s try Yi Ruo’s craftsmanship.”
Li Canyang's face changed drastically. He couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are some things I need to deal with in the West Courtyard. Ding Hao, please eat slowly. I'll leave first."
Li Lan also stood up and said to himself: "I seem to have something to do. It's too late. I have to deal with it quickly."
"Oh, by the way, Ding Hao, I have news for you. The ruins of the ancient sect in the Xiyan Mountains of Snow State, which have been making a lot of noise recently, are said to have been breached, and many treasures that are coveted by the various sects have been discovered..." Li Canyang suddenly turned around and said seriously: "Do you know who the person who breached this ruins is?"
Ding Hao instantly thought of a person's name and said with a smile, "It can't be Mu Tianyang, right?"
Li Canyang was startled: "You already know the news?"
"Damn, is it really this guy?" Ding Hao felt that he had the talent of a crow's mouth.
"Mu Tianyang shocked Snow State by conquering the ancient ruins of Xiyan. With the support of Qingping Academy, he obtained most of the spiritual herbs, magical pills and mysterious weapons. Some people rumored that he even obtained a rare six Li Lan obviously also knew about this matter. He looked at Ding Hao with a self-seeking look and said, "I came here just to tell you about this matter. I didn't expect that Brother Canyang already knew about it. Ding Hao, the situation is not good for you."
Li Canyang also nodded and said: "It is said that the strength shown by Mu Tianyang this time has surpassed that of the Xiantian Wuzong, and has at least reached the level of a high-level grand master. After obtaining the treasures from the ancient ruins of Xiyan, his strength has... It is likely to skyrocket within a short period of time.”
To be honest, the two of them were originally not optimistic that Ding Hao could defeat Mu Tianyang in three years, and they were even less optimistic now.
