C40 Using your power and strength like a dog

High Scholar Lin and the rest had not gone far, but when he heard Song Yue's words, he muttered in his heart: Bai Xian, why does this name sound so familiar?

He thought for a long time before remembering that he had once been a guest at the Zhao Fu Shang's house. One of the dishes was made by Bai Xian, and this was even the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.

High Scholar Lin's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Bai Xian's body, she never thought that such a beautiful little girl could make such a delicious dish.

The small fry thought that the High Scholar Lin had grudges against Bai Xian, and anxiously said: "Sir Lin, that was the owner of the Bai Yue Stall, I can find a few people to go and cause trouble for her, and make her look bad."

In the eyes of a small fry, High Scholar Lin was someone who was even more powerful than a county magistrate. Since the family of the High Scholar Lin was a high official in the capital, he had to curry favor with the High Scholar Lin.

High Scholar Lin shook his head: "No need, I just think that the little girl is interesting."

The small fry rolled his eyes, and happily followed High Scholar Lin.

Bai Xian watched as High Scholar Lin and the rest walked far away before sighing lightly, "Quickly, let's take a look at the food."

She opened up the wild chicken and rabbit. The wild animal had less fat and looked much smaller than normal, so Bai Xian took off the chicken leg and rabbit leg and placed them on the big leaf. "You guys go and eat this first."

Before he even finished his sentence, Song Cheng had already started chewing on the chicken leg with one hand and the rabbit leg with the other.

Song Yue stood at Bai Xian's side and watched. Because he had been a chef for a long time, Bai Xian skillfully tore the meat into small pieces, and everyone sat in the pavilion and happily enjoyed their meal.

Song Cheng sincerely praised Bai Xian: "Bai Xian, your culinary skills are really too great, too amazing."

Bai Xian smiled humbly: "I will continue to work hard."

Song Yue then started to worry about the chestnut, "Xiao Xian, can I only roast chestnuts eat this?"

Bai Xian explained in detail: "You can boil it with water, or you can fry it with sugar, but before you handle it, you have to remove the thorny outer layer of shell."

Song Yue continued to ask: "Then how do I get rid of it?"

Bai Xian thought that he only asked these questions because he liked eating chestnuts, so he patiently explained, "It's fine if you smash it with a rock or a hammer, but if you think it's troublesome to handle, you can roast it over the fire."

Song Yue earnestly took Bai Xian's words to heart. He planned to tell his cousin about this matter after going back home today.

Everyone was reluctant to part with it on their way back. To Song Yue and Song Yue, even though they had seen many sights that were more beautiful than this mountain, they felt that nothing else could compare to this place.

Once a person was full they would love to sleep, Song Yue squinted his eyes when he saw Bai Xiu sleepy, and carried him on his back. Before they had taken a few steps, Bai Xiu fell asleep on his shoulder.

Bai’s mother was a little apologetic: "Xiao Xiu, why did this child fall asleep? Why don't you put him down?"

Carrying a few kilograms on his back wasn't difficult for Song Yue at all. He steadily advanced forward while refusing Song Cheng's request to replace him.

Song Yue and Song Cheng followed Bai’s mother and Bai Xian to the Bai Family. They even personally put Bai Xiu on the bed.

Bai Xian looked at Song Yue's sweat covered body, and handed over his handkerchief: "Wipe your sweat, I'll pour you guys a cup of tea to drink."

As long as it was something delicious, Song Cheng had always thought like this in his heart. Even the normal tea that he normally never drank had an additional taste.

Bai Xian thought that the two of them had not eaten dinner yet, so he went to the kitchen and cooked two dishes. He also took out the leftover roast chicken from the afternoon and heated it up, passing it all over to Song Cheng inside the food box: "You guys can take it back to eat."

Song Cheng and Song Yue did not refuse, thus when Lu came to report the news to Song Yue, he saw Song Cheng holding onto a chicken claw and chewing on it without any regard for his image.

Song Yue saw the astonishment in Lu's eyes and lightly kicked Song Cheng. Although Song Cheng never had much of an image, he could not be too casual right?

Only then did Song Cheng put down his chicken feet and slowly eat the food.

Song Yue did not have the mind to bother with him. He told Lu Yi that the chestnuts were edible and told him to send a letter to Feng City as soon as possible.

Of course, Lu Yi had seen chestnuts before, but this was the first time he knew that it was edible. He looked at Song Yue with a face of worship.

Song Yue coughed lightly: "Have you caught the one who spread the rumors?"

Lü Yi's expression became serious, "There was a small mistake. Now, that person has disappeared without a trace. I wonder where he went."

Song Yue's brows slowly furrowed. The last time the Chu and the Qiguo fought was two years ago. That time, the Chu was heavily injured by him and he lost a large amount of money.

Although he knew that the Chu would not give up, he did not expect the Chu to be ready to send their troops so soon.

Song Yue explained to Lu: "When sending the letter to Phoenix City, remember to make your cousin more vigilant. I suspect that Chu is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to do something."

Looking at his figure disappearing into the distance, Song Yue thought that no matter how calm they were, it would be the end of the war. Once the war started, he would have to rush back, and Song Cheng would have to do the same.

Seeing Lu leave, Song Cheng immediately picked up the chicken feet and continued to gnaw on them. Song Yue shot him a glance: "Can you be a bit more cultured?"

Song Cheng was chewing on something, and his words were vague: "By the way, there's no need."

Song Yue was speechless, "Is your leg really completely healed?" Different from Song Yue, Song Cheng's personal guard had always been around them. However, because Song Cheng's mood was very bad, they were not allowed to casually appear, which was why Song Yue and Song Cheng lived together.

When he mentioned leg injuries, Song Cheng's eyes flashed. Whoever injured his leg, he would definitely make that person pay a hundred times over.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Song Yue probed, "Do you know who the culprit is?"

didn't want Song Yue to be involved in his own matters. These matters were too complicated, a slight mistake would cause him to lose his life. In these recent days, Song Cheng had already treated Song Yue as a true friend.

"I will take care of these things, you should think about how you should explain it to Bai Xian first."

Song Yue understood that Song Cheng was trying to divert his attention. To them, the disciples of the top sects, being hunted and framed was something that they had to face since they were young. Song Cheng did not want him to participate, but he had already boarded the ship, Song Cheng.

How could those people let Song Yue go? Song Yue said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about me, I can help you."

Song Cheng was moved in his heart, but he put on a disdainful expression on the surface: "You really know how to joke around, who's worried about you, I'm afraid that you'll spout nonsense, and everyone will know about it."

Song Yue saw that he was playing a joke on him, and did not ask any further, even if Song Cheng did not say anything, Lu Yi should have found out about it, and at that time he would just ask Lu Yi.

"Alright, I'll consider it as being afraid of you. As for Bai Xian, I plan to not tell her the truth until I bring her to the capital. Then, I'll tell her my true identity."

Song Cheng looked at Song Yue with wide eyes, as if it was his first time meeting Song Yue. He did not expect that the young master of the State Duke’s Mansion, who was known for his stupefaction and seriousness, would actually want to bring a girl home directly.

Looking at his expression, Song Yue could tell that he was thinking too much. "I, I don't like Bai Xian, I'm just worried about fighting in this place."
