Fu Tingyu knew the crazy woman must have cooked again without hesitation.
Fu Tingyu walked to the table and sat down. He poured himself some hot water and drank while waiting for the woman to come out so that he could talk to her again.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the kitchen. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He put down the glass in his hand, stood up, and walked into the kitchen.
When he walked into the kitchen, he found that there was no one inside.
He saw the electric rice cooker that was emitting steam. The fragrance was coming from here.
The electric rice cooker’s indicator light had already jumped to keep warm. The yellow light showed the rice was ready.
It also meant that the woman had got up very early and cooked the rice before leaving.
The man opened the electric rice cooker quizzically. The steam instantly came out, and the fragrance was even stronger than before.
When the steam dissipated, he noticed it was not just white rice. There was bacon and Kung Pao chicken. Also, rice was probably underneath the dishes.
This was the first time he had seen cooking done this way.
After hesitating for a while, he took out a clean bowl and a pair of chopsticks and filled a bowl with food and rice. He walked to the table and sat down. Then, he held up his chopsticks and sampled the food.
The essence of the dish and sauce had mixed in the rice, and blended rather well, so it tasted much better than white rice.
Before he knew it, he had eaten two bowls of rice.
When he finished eating, the man looked at the empty rice cooker and rubbed his eyebrows. He had shockingly eaten all the rice she had cooked.
He should have thrown away all the food she had cooked just like yesterday.
Fortunately, she was not here now contemplated the man.
Fu Tingyu picked up the bowls and chopsticks and walked to the edge of the sink. He began to wash the dishes and pots. This was something that he had to do every day, so he was able to do it well.
After washing, he wiped his hands clean with a towel and turned around to enter the room. He had not slept the night before and planned to catch some sleep.
He looked at the bed. Just like yesterday, the bedding was folded neatly.
He walked over and lay down on the bed. It seemed he could still smell the sweet fragrance and the smell of wine.
Since he had nothing against the smell, he did not plan to change the bedsheets and covers.
After lying on the bed for a while, he quickly fell into a deep sleep even though he was usually a light sleeper.
Qin Shu looked at Hao Ze curiously, waiting for his answer.
Hao Ze replied, “I’m talented, so I was chosen by the Long Clan.”
Qin Shu reckoned Hao Ze must be very talented. As the leader of the Long Clan, the clan would undoubtedly do their utmost to groom his talent.
When they were catching worms, Qin Shu watched from the side and was unable to recognize most of the worms.
She could only recognize centipedes and other common worms.
Since it was winter, they were hard to come by, so they only caught other types of worms.
Gu masters would catch the worms and place them in a bamboo container.
The sky was getting dark, so Hao Ze and the rest did not stay in Nine Bay for long before heading down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was already dark. Every house had its lights on.
Qin Shu followed them at a leisurely pace. When they passed by the house where Fu Tingyu lived, she turned her head to take a look. The lights were on in the house.
She wondered if the man had eaten her cooking or thrown it away just like yesterday.
Hao Ze noticed Qin Shu was a few steps behind. He glanced at the house located in a slightly more remote area and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Shu retracted her gaze and shook her head at him. “Nothing. The villagers here are very simple.”
Hao Ze smiled. “Let’s go. You must be hungry.”
“Okay.” Qin Shu glanced at the house and followed behind them.
When they returned to the village chief’s house, they had already prepared dinner.
Qin Shu sat at the table and ate dinner. After being out the entire day, she had only eaten some dry food for lunch. She was indeed a little hungry.
Ye Luo had already eaten dinner. He was sitting opposite her, telling her the results of today’s investigation.
“I’ve already asked all the villagers here. They insist Lord Fu has lived here all his life.”
Qin Shu stopped eating and looked up at Ye Luo. “They all said that?”
Ye Luo nodded. “Yes.”
Qin Shu pursed her lips. She didn’t believe the man had always lived here. She could not possibly have made a mistake. He was undoubtedly Fu Tingyu.
Then why did the villagers say that he had lived here since he was young?
Ye Luo asked, “Young Madam Fu, could there be a mistake?”
Qin Shu clenched her chopsticks and shook her head hard. “Impossible. He is Fu Tingyu. There is no way I could have gotten it wrong.”
“All 200 villagers said he has always lived here.” Ye Luo repeated what he had learned as if to remind Qin Shu that they might really have encountered someone who simply resembled Fu Tingrui.
Qin Shu paused and hesitated for a moment. “I will prove he is Fu Tingyu.”
Ye Luo dropped the subject on hearing this.
Qin Shu continued to eat the food in front of her. She felt hungry just a moment ago, but now she had lost her appetite.
She went to take a shower after dinner. Since she had been in the forest for a day, she was starting to smell strange.
There was a bath barrel here and an indefinite supply of water.
After the hot water filled the bath barrel, she took off her clothes and sat inside.
Qin Shu had not gotten any updates about concocting Reverse. She wondered if Hao Ze could make it.
Hao Ze was the only high-ranking Gu master she was acquainted with. He said it was a good time to try making Reverse now.
People only became close with others because they wanted something from them. Just like her.
If she asked him to help her try to create Gu worms, would he be willing?
The moment the idea emerged in her mind, she really wanted to give it a shot.
After showering, she put on her clothes and went to look for Hao Ze.
Hao Ze lived on the third floor and she got there in no time.
She stood in front of the door. When she came upstairs, she saw the light in the window was on, so she knew that Hao Ze was still awake.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened from the inside. Hao Ze was wearing pajamas, and his hair was still wet. It was obvious he had just showered and was about to go to bed.
Qin Shu felt that she came at a bad time.
Hao Ze smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Qin Shu was a little embarrassed. “Are you going to sleep? Then I’ll look for you tomorrow.”
“It’s fine. Come in.” Hao Ze opened the door a little more and turned to the side to let her in.
Qin Shu hesitated for a moment, but she still walked in. The doorsill here was a little high.
Hao Ze closed the door and turned around to ask her to sit down. “Miss Qin, please take a seat. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Qin Shu said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”
Hao Ze ignored her and continued what he was doing. He picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for her and himself.
The two sat down at the table.
Hao Ze looked at Qin Shu, “Go on.”
Qin Shu held the cup of water and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, “I want to ask you to help me refine Gu worms.”
Hao Ze had already read her mind. “Reverse, right?”
Qin Shu nodded. “That’s right. If you help me, I will do anything for you in return.”
Hao Ze asked, “Can you really do it?”
Qin Shu felt there was more to what he meant. She contemplated briefly and said, “Yes, as long as it is within my moral codes.”.
