At noon, Patriarch Duan came to the courtyard, intending to invite Fengjiu and Guan Xilin to have a meal in front. However, he did not expect that when he entered the courtyard, he did not see Fengjiu, but saw Guan Xilin in the pavilion in the garden.
He was slightly surprised and stepped forward to ask, "Brother Guan, what are you doing?"
Guan Xilin opened his eyes, looked at the person who came, and stood up, saying, "It turned out to be City Lord Duan. Why is the City Lord here? Is there something wrong?"
"It's like this, I thought I'd come over and invite you two to have dinner together in the front."
"Meal? No need. My brother is busy now. She told no one to disturb her. Besides, it's good in this courtyard. We have everything we need."
Hearing this, City Lord Duan's eyes flickered slightly: "Is that so? All right then! I won't bother you anymore." He nodded and turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped and turned back and smiled: "If you need anything, feel free to come find me. My daughter is here, and I'm grateful for your care."
"Don't worry, City Lord." He nodded, watched him leave, then sat back down and closed his eyes to practice.
At this time, in Fengjiu's room, she was concentrating on mixing liquid medicine. The bottles and jars on the table were filled with liquid essences for various purposes, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Because there were only three of them in the courtyard, after Fengjiu gave her instructions, she went into the room to prepare the medicine. Guan Xilin was practicing in the pavilion again. Duan Yingying, who was free, remembered Fengjiu's words and did not go over to disturb them. But thinking that they would be hungry at dinner time, she prepared the meal first.
She did not send the food to Fengjiu's room because Fengjiu had told her not to disturb her when she was not out. As for the man named Guan Xilin, she was very afraid of him, especially when Fengjiu was not around, so she did not dare to send the food to him.
Because of this, she stood in the kitchen in a daze after finishing the meal, not knowing what to do. After hesitating for a long time, she left a portion for Fengjiu, placed the meal on the table outside the kitchen, and went to the front to look for the person named Guan Xilin.
Guan Xilin, who was practicing with his eyes closed, heard footsteps approaching, so he let out a light breath and opened his eyes. He saw the woman who was timidly hesitating whether to step forward and handed him a piece of paper.
He was stunned for a moment, then took it and looked at it. He saw that it said: "Brother Guan, it's time to eat." He was surprised to see the words above. After all, this little girl was very timid and Xiaojiu was not here. He thought she would definitely stay away from him.
So, he grinned and stood up: "Okay, let's go eat, let's go!" He gestured, watched her swallow her saliva and take a few steps back, then he smiled and strode towards the kitchen.
Duan Yingying was afraid because the man was so strong that she was scared. He looked like a bear and was very scary.
Because she was not good at being alone with him, she walked around Fengjiu's room to see if she had come out. When she saw Fengjiu for the first time, she knew she was a woman because she had a faint female aura.
Seeing that Fengjiu's door was not open yet, she paused and walked towards the kitchen. However, when she arrived at the kitchen and saw the scene, she was stunned and just stood aside and watched.
Guan Xilin quickly finished all the food on the table because he saw only a set of bowls and chopsticks and thought that the food was only left for him. In addition, he ate a lot because of his Xuanli training, so he didn't think much about it and ate all the food cleanly in order not to waste anything.
