“This …”

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes earlier, Xiao Chen really wouldn’t have believed that this scene before him had only taken a short while … Just what realm had this old beggar’s swordsmanship reached? It was truly unimaginable …

In the past, he had always felt that no one in his generation could surpass his swordsmanship, but now, compared to this old beggar, it was simply hard to see. When would he be able to master the Three Talents Sword?

The old beggar chuckled, “Hurry up and memorize the Heart Arts before the wind blows. I’ll leave now, old man …”

“Senior, wait! I haven’t consulted you yet …”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to stop him. However, when he raised his head, there was no trace of the old beggar in the bamboo forest. He could only hear the other party chanting a song, “Not demons, not dao, not evil. One pot, one sword, a thousand years …”

The sound gradually faded away and finally returned to loneliness. In the vast bamboo forest, there was only the rustling sound of the wind passing through the bamboo tips. Xiao Chen quietly looked at the bamboo leaves on the ground. He swept his divine sense and memorized all the Heart Arts on it. This sword technique was profound, so he could only slowly study it in the future.

At this moment, he was puzzled as to who this old beggar was. That day, in that valley, this person must have stopped that mysterious expert from Cangfeng Valley for him, but in this world, it was indeed a hidden dragon crouching tiger.

It was only after a long time that his mood gradually calmed down with the night wind in the bamboo forest. At this moment, a crescent moon was rising on the bamboo shoots, and the Moon breeze and bamboo shadows were dancing.

He slowly left the bamboo forest and walked back in the direction of Qingzhou City. Along the way, he thought about the four dishes that the old beggar had asked him to look for, and that mandarin fish was only found in Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

Previously, Shen Jing had said that the person from the ancient village loved to delve into cooking. On the day of the incident, a famous chef came from Suzhou to Qingzhou City. That person went to Qingzhou City to learn cooking, so he escaped a calamity …

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s heart seemed to flash with lightning and flint as he thought of something. The old beggar had asked him to find these four dishes. Most people had never heard of the latter two dishes, “Envious Fish” and “Clear Water without Fish”. However, Chef Xu of the Drunken Immortal Building actually knew these two dishes. Could it be …

Thinking of this, his heart trembled even more. So it was like this. So it was like this. This Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s Chef Xu was the person who escaped the calamity in the ancient village. The old beggar had asked him to find these four dishes, but he had helped him once again. This old beggar was so predictable that he knew what he was going to do. Could it be that he was a true deity?

Right now, he couldn’t think of that much. With a flash of his body, he rushed back to Qingzhou City. By that time, the night was already completely shrouded, but Qingzhou City was extremely prosperous. Even in the middle of the night, it was still very lively, not to mention that it had just entered the night.

There were still quite a few guests in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. The shopkeeper had earned ten gold ingots for nothing today, but he was extremely happy. He generously brought over a dozen dancers from the Orchid Fragrance Workshop, and it was a lively evening.

However, as the dancers on the stage danced, the cheers from upstairs and downstairs rose and fell.

The shopkeeper and the waiter were busy greeting the guests. In the back kitchen, Old Xu had been dealing with the cooking fume on the stove for thirty years, and only a few newcomers had helped him.

It was only after midnight that the entire Qingzhou City slowly quieted down. In the Drunken Immortal Building, the guests also went back to their rooms to rest. Old Xu also got off the stove as usual. He casually ordered some food, took a shower, and then returned to the broken room in the backyard of the restaurant to rest.

That night, when Moon was hanging high in the sky and the moonlight came into the room, Xu, who was close to the age of flower armor, felt like he was overwhelmed with worries and couldn’t fall asleep no matter how he tossed and turned.

The wind whispered to the windowsill as if he was speechless. He got up from his couch and looked outside at the cool breeze of Moon. He returned to his room and sighed while smoking.

Or perhaps he could open the old cabinet and look at something that was already covered in dust. His originally cloudy eyes gradually began to gather a layer of tears.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rang out from outside. It was as if a figure had landed outside the window. Old Xu was immediately shocked. He pushed the cabinet back like lightning. Then, he turned around and nervously looked outside. Seeing that there was another figure under the tree, his heart tightened. He trembled and said, “You … who are you?”

“Master Xu, it’s me. Don’t be afraid.”

Xiao Chen slowly walked over. When Old Xu saw that it was the expensive Childe during the day, he heaved a sigh of relief. He whispered, “May I know if this Childe is here late at night … Is there something wrong?”

Xiao Chen smiled lightly. In order to dispel the doubts in the other party’s heart, he smiled and said, “The four dishes Master Xu cooked today are very suitable for my husband’s taste. Sir, let me ask, who did Master Xu learn this’ Envious Fish ‘and’ Clear Water without Fish ‘?”

“This …”

Old Xu pondered for a moment. At this moment, he seemed to recall the past. After a long time, he did not look up. Xiao Chen took another step forward and smiled softly, “This mandarin fish originally came from Taihu Lake, Suzhou. Although there were fish fry introduced in recent years, it was still not as fat as the mandarin fish from Taihu Lake. So this fish was passed down from Suzhou, right?”

Old Xu raised his head and looked at him. In the end, he nodded but didn’t say anything.

However, even if he didn’t say anything, Xiao Chen had already guessed it. He continued, “That famous chef from Suzhou came to Qingzhou and brought a fish of envy. At that time, he meant that there was no mandarin fish in Qingzhou. He could only watch from a distance of a thousand miles. If he wanted to eat this dish, he had to go to Suzhou … right?”

Old Xu was still silent, but the more silent he was, the more equivalent he was to acquiescing.

Xiao Chen continued, “At that time, Master Xu was young and energetic, but he was unwilling to accept it. Thus, he filled a bowl of water from the Drunken Immortal Lake in Qing Zhou City and made a bowl of’clear water without fish ‘. He told that person that although there were no mandarin fish in Qing Zhou, the water in the Drunken Immortal Lake was clear. If it was used to brew wine, then it would be the jade dew of the mortal world, right?”

After hearing this, Old Xu finally stopped being silent. He raised his head. His originally cloudy eyes seemed to have suddenly become divine, and his hands trembled slightly. He whispered, “May I ask who Childe is?”

At this moment, Xiao Chen was even more certain of all his previous speculations. The day he met the old beggar in the city, he said to Convenience, “In this mortal world, the water from the Drunken Immortal Lake is still the best wine to brew.” Thus, the origin of the “water is clear and without fish” was exactly as he had said earlier.

“Master Xu, you shouldn’t have been from Qingzhou City before, right?”

Xiao Chen asked as he stared into the opponent’s muddy eyes.

The night breeze slowly blew by, causing Old Xu’s entire body to tremble slightly. In the past thirty years, he had never told anyone about his origins. Now, he wanted to spend the rest of his life peacefully in this mortal world, but there were still some things that he had come to find him.
