There was someone!
Xu Qingmo was shocked, it was impossible, he had already looked through the entire building before, if there was someone here, he would definitely be able to find it, and with his current cultivation technique, if there was someone hiding inside the building, he would definitely be able to detect it.
But even now, to his senses, there was no hope at all for the top of the red house!
Xu Qingmo didn't think anymore, he lifted his body and stepped onto the bookshelf beside him, then landed on the handrail of the stairs and directly went to the second floor. There was no one there, the voices came from the third floor and Xu Qingmo continued to jump, instantly arriving at the highest floor, third floor.
The third floor's space was not very big, only about the size of a study room. There was a desk and chair by the window, and two bookshelves on each side. That was all; it looked just like someone's study room.
At this time, Xu Qingmo stood at the foot of the stairs and looked around. The entire red room was silent, only sunlight shining through the white paper windows onto the inside of the room.
The library only had one window, and it was made out of ancient white paper. It was also locked from the inside, so no one could have just slipped out.
Xu Qingmo walked out and gently opened the window. The sun had already set in the western sky and was about to set.
Xu Qingmo turned his head and looked around the bookstore again, but still didn't discover anything.
How strange, I clearly heard a sound earlier, could it be a hallucination?
Impossible, Xu Qingmo would definitely not hear wrong with regards to the Reverse Dragon Steps.
After confirming over and over again, he still could not find any traces, so Xu Qingmo could only give up. He got off the bookstore, and started to ponder over Lu Shengyun's version of Taiji Fist, but because he was lost in thoughts, he couldn't get anything.
Returning to the small villa, Lin Ruochu and Little Black still had not come back yet.
Xu Qingmo made a phone call. Lin Ruochu was busy on the phone, and the voice that was talking to him was the same as the voice she heard in Jinling. The only difference was that there was a trace of warmth within it.
"I'll work overtime tonight. You go to sleep first." Lin Ruochu said in a rare manner.
"Don't be too tired, I'll wait for you." Xu Qingmo said with a smile on his face.
"Yes." Lin Ruochu's voice softened as she hung up.
Xu Qingmo was elated, it was the same feeling he had when talking to his own wife, but it was only the first day, and Lin Ruochu was already so busy?
Xu Qingmo thought about it, opened the refrigerator to take a look, and then went out to buy some things.
"Bam!"
"He's back!" Xu Qingmo stuck his head out from the kitchen and actually wore an apron, "Wait a bit longer, it will be ready soon."
With that, Xu Qingmo withdrew back into the cave, leaving behind the faint fragrance of the food in the air.
The first time he saw Xu Qingmo dressed like this as the chief chef, Lin Ruochu was obviously stunned. Some were lost in thought, and only after a long while did he react. He changed his shoes and walked towards the kitchen, wanting to see what Xu Qingmo was doing in the kitchen.
Just as he reached the kitchen door and was about to turn the corner, he suddenly bumped into a solid wall of flesh.
Lin Ruochu bumped into Xu Qingmo's chest, who had just walked out, and his body immediately fell backwards.
"Sigh!" Xu Qingmo cried out in alarm, as he wrapped his arm around Lin Ruochu's waist and held onto the plate with his other hand, not spilling any of it.
Lin Ruochu leaned back, half lying in Xu Qingmo's embrace, staring blankly at Xu Qingmo, his face slowly flushed red.
"Worry." Xu Qingmo said while smiling, and then helped Lin Ruochu up.
Lin Ruochu played with the hair by her ears. She was beautiful and moved as she sat at the dining table.
Xu Qingmo placed the plate in front of Lin Ruochu, and shockingly, it was a fine porridge.
"It's already so late. It's not good for my stomach to eat hard food. Let's drink some porridge." Xu Qingmo looked at Lin Ruochu and said.
Lin Ruochu looked at him as if she did not know who Xu Qingmo was.
Xu Qingmo laughed: "What are you looking at me for? Although I don't know how to cook, but it's not like I don't know how to cook at all.
Indeed, when Xu Qingmo was a mercenary abroad, he often had to eat in the wild. He trained with all kinds of delicious barbecue, but if one were to say that he was playing around in the kitchen, he would say that …
"Quickly, taste it and see my cooking skills." Xu Qingmo looked at Lin Ruochu and said.
Lin Ruochu scooped a spoonful of soup with her spoon and put it in her mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Qingmo asked.
Lin Ruochu pursed her lips and nodded.
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "You lied to me, the expression you had just now was not a tasty one."
After he finished speaking, Xu Qingmo was about to go eat.
"Sigh!" Lin Ruochu wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"Howl." There was porridge in his mouth, and with a whimper, he couldn't find any place to vomit, so he could only swallow it down.
"So salty! "You actually said it's good to be so salty." Xu Qingmo hurriedly poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Lin Ruochu, then poured some for himself as well.
Lin Ruochu also no longer bothered to cover it up and continued to drink the same water as Xu Qingmo.
"Is this the first time you've cooked congee?" Lin Ruochu looked at Xu Qingmo and said.
Xu Qingmo smiled bitterly and nodded: "I was reading, cooking porridge seemed to be the easiest, but in the end I still screwed it up. I can't eat these anymore."
After he finished speaking, Xu Qingmo was about to pour the porridge.
"Wait a moment." Lin Ruochu took it from Xu Qingmo's hand.
"Now, just sit down. It's time for me to show my skills." Lin Ruochu suddenly laughed. With the fireworks, she carried the plate into the kitchen.
When Xu Qingmo was stunned, Lin Ruochu would also go into the kitchen.
Xu Qingmo quickly ran over to take a look.
"You're not allowed to enter!" Lin Ruochu said while she was in the kitchen wearing her apron.
"Not coming in, not coming in. I'll just take a look, hehe." Xu Qingmo stretched out his neck and laughed.
The first time he saw Lin Ruochu wearing an apron, she surprisingly looked even better than a job suit. Furthermore, in order to make it convenient, Lin Ruochu had even intentionally untied her hair and put it on top of her head. The moment she lifted and coiled her hair, her long neck was revealed, and her graceful movements were like a swan.
It was simply too beautiful.
Lin Ruochu once again poured the porridge into the pot, and started to play with it. Suddenly, she remembered why there was no sound coming from Xu Qingmo behind him, thus she turned her head to look at Xu Qingmo, only to see his foolish expression, and his eyes stared blankly.
Lin Ruochu could not help but burst out laughing. When she woke up, he immediately stood up and wiped off her saliva.
Lin Ruochu turned her head and smiled sweetly. She did not talk about Xu Qingmo and focused on making the porridge.
Xu Qingmo looked at Lin Ruochu who was wearing an apron in the kitchen, and suddenly had a feeling that he was the husband who had just finished work, and was standing at the entrance of the kitchen to watch his beautiful wife cook for him. He really wanted to quietly walk up and embrace Lin Ruochu's waist from behind.
This time was not like the time when he held Fei Huiyin in the capital. At that time, there was only desire, but now there was only warmth and happiness.
Very quickly, Lin Ruochu scooped up the porridge and carried it out, sitting at the dining table with Xu Qingmo once again.
Lin Ruochu looked at Xu Qingmo, then looked at the porridge.
"Let me try." Xu Qingmo said as he rubbed his hands together, he could not wait to have a taste, and immediately followed up with a second mouthful, a third mouthful, and a fourth mouthful.
Xu Qingmo only stopped after he had eaten seven or eight mouthfuls. These were for Lin Ruochu to eat, not for him to finish.
"Yes, it's too delicious. I can't stop." Xu Qingmo put down his spoon, "It's really delicious, I never thought that you would actually make such a delicious porridge."
Lin Ruochu laughed and also tasted it. She closed her eyes and her face was filled with warmth.
Xu Qingmo quietly looked at Lin Ruochu, and suddenly saw that while Lin Ruochu was eating, a tinge of reminiscence surfaced on her face, and then, a hint of sadness.
Lin Ruochu shook her head, and said in a soft voice: "Nothing, I just remembered some things from the past."
Xu Qingmo was speechless. As the president of the group, how could he know how to cook porridge?
Perhaps when she was young, when her father had disappeared and her mother had been busy with business, she could only cook and cook by herself, thus creating the culinary arts. At this moment, she was probably thinking of her own father.
"When he was young, he loved to eat the porridge I cooked the most." Lin Ruochu whispered.
"Don't worry, he will still eat it." Xu Qingmo said.
"Yeah, so I won't give up." Lin Ruochu's eyes lit up, he was talking about Lin Family's business.
Looking at the Lin Ruochu in front of him, Xu Qingmo couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. This was the first time he had felt something, that he didn't know how to do business and was unable to shoulder the burden on Lin Ruochu's shoulders at this time. It was truly a feeling of helplessness.
After finishing the porridge, Lin Ruochu washed up before returning to her room to sleep. She was indeed exhausted from the day.
Xu Qingmo looked at the moonlight outside the window, and in his mind, it was as if Lin Ruochu was working hard by himself in the office, and in a little while, the secret martial arts manual that he had read in the Red Chamber of Commerce appeared.
Qing Yi, who are you referring to? He had a fake face and that was Chen Qingyi!
Reverse Dragon Steps, was he talking about the Reverse Dragon Steps from the Immortal Instruction of the Longevity?
What did missing three steps mean? Could it be that the Reverse Dragon Steps had a total of ten steps, and the seven steps he knew were only an incomplete version?
But, how could that voice know the Reverse Dragon Steps?
On the second day, Lin Ruochu brought Little Black to the Lin Group and Xu Qingmo went to the Red Chamber of Commerce as usual. After confirming that there was no one else other than herself, she returned to the first floor and picked up the second secret scripture.
While watching for a day, Xu Qingmo listened carefully to see if he could still hear the voice he heard yesterday. Unfortunately, he did not hear it from the beginning until the end.
The sun was setting, and at dusk, the entire red building was illuminated by the afterglow of the sun.
"Qing Yi!"
Suddenly, the voice rang out again.
Xu Qingmo rushed to the location of the sound like an arrow, to the third floor's library.
Upon reaching the top, he finally saw a beautiful figure.
Her back was slim and she was dressed in a qipao. She turned around in surprise and looked at the stairs, "Is that you? "Qingyi?"
