Su Xiaolu said, “Master, what I said is true. If you go in and try it now, you’ll know that I’m not lying to you.”

Old Wu was tempted, but he still said to Su Xiaolu seriously, “Girl, if you lie to me, I’ll kick your third sister out. It’s useless no matter what you say to me. If you really annoy me, I’ll hit you.”

Was Su Xiaoling really talented in cooking?

Although Gui You had also said it was good, he had never eaten it, so he didn’t believe it.

Did the little girl want to keep the benefits to herself?

!!

As much as he loved the little girl, he couldn’t agree to this. If it wasn’t true, nothing he said would make a difference. He had to make it clear.

What if the little girl made a fuss? He had to be prepared to retreat at any time.

Su Xiaolu nodded seriously. “Master, I’m not lying to you. Let’s go in. You’ll know after you try it.”

There was the sound of a door opening next door.

Gui You came out from the next room. He glanced at Old Wu and said calmly, “You’re here.”

After greeting him, Gui You went in first.

When the courtyard door opened, Su Hua and Zhou Heng saw Old Wu.

The two of them greeted respectfully, “Hello, Uncle-Master.”

They’ve grown taller these few years.

Old Wu nodded. “Not bad, not bad. You have a spirit in your eyes. You look smart.”

Su Hua smiled and said politely, “Uncle-Master, come in quickly. You haven’t been back for several years. We miss you very much.”

“Ahem… go in, go in.”

Old Wu coughed lightly. This enthusiastic attitude really made him uncomfortable. Old Wu entered the courtyard and muttered softly, “What’s there to miss about?”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, who were busy in the kitchen, heard Old Wu’s voice and hurriedly stood up to welcome him.

Su Xiaoling was also a little uneasy. She had studied medicinal cuisine for a few years and had yet to really obtain Old Wu’s approval.

She quickly looked at the three medicinal dishes on the New Year’s Eve dinner. They looked, smelled, and tasted good. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she took a deep breath and went out to welcome them.

“Big Brother, you’re back.”

As soon as Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao came out, they shouted excitedly.

Old Wu frowned slightly. “Don’t be so excited. Just make it simple.”

Su Xiaoling was very nervous. “Uncle-Master—”

Old Wu couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush and said directly, “Don’t say anything. We’ll see who’s better later. What about Gui You?”

‘Where did the wretched boy go!’

He was so uncomfortable and he didn’t even come out to help.

The family was, as always, full of enthusiasm.

Su Sanlang said, “Mr. Gui You just went out.”

Gui You went to the kitchen, grabbed a fried chicken drumstick, and left. He should be next door.

Old Wu waved his hand and said, “Alright, go do what you need to do. Don’t worry about me.”

Don’t crowd around me!

All of them were so big. They looked at him like he was a gorilla. It was so annoying.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao knew Old Wu’s personality. They smiled and nodded.

Madam Zhao said, “Then Big Brother, take a break. We’ll eat soon.”

With that, Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang returned to the kitchen.

Old Wu looked at Zhou Heng and said, “Come with me. I have something to ask you.”

Zhou Heng’s expression was dark as he followed Old Wu next door.

Su Chong was still standing on the pillars. When he saw Old Wu, he smiled and greeted, “Uncle-Master, you’re back.”

Old Wu looked at Su Chong. His eyes were clear, as if there were stars in them. His facial features were also handsome. Old Wu nodded at Su Chong and said, “Kid, practice hard.”

Su Chong agreed.

Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu, who was following Old Wu, and said, “Su Chong, come down. The two of you can spar and practice your sword techniques.”

Old Wu led Zhou Heng into the house.

Now that her master was back, Su Xiaolu was no longer distracted. She focused on practicing her sword moves with Su Chong.

Zhou Heng and Old Wu entered the house.

As soon as they entered the house, Zhou Heng asked, “Sir, do you have a letter for me?”

Old Wu looked at Zhou Heng and said with a serious expression, “You’re smart. I won’t hide it from you. It’s probably very difficult for you to return home now.”

Zhou Heng frowned. “Is my mother okay?”

Old Wu sighed. “Your mother is fine. Everything is fine. She wants you to go back, but your brother is determined not to let you go. Back then, your mother chose to save you and gave up on him. This grudge can’t be forgotten.”

Zhou Zhi and Zhou Heng were twins. They had been intelligent since they were young. Both of them were where the Empress was. They had their fortunes told by Master Zhiming. One of them was a god and could be a wise ruler for a hundred generations. The other was a demon and could destroy a country.

Zhou Heng was magnanimous, generous, generous, and admirable.

Zhou Zhi was narrow-minded and ruthless. It made one’s heart palpitate.

That year, an accident happened and both of them were secretly harmed. On the premise that only one could be saved, the Empress chose to send Zhou Heng away and let him treat Zhou Heng’s leg.

And Zhou Zhi would be crippled for life.

After so many years, the hidden danger had long been pacified. However, Zhou Zhi, who had survived all kinds of hardships, had also grown into a ferocious beast. The empress could no longer control him.

If Zhou Zhi wanted to snatch the throne, not only did he have to compete with the other princes, but he also had to guard against Zhou Heng. If he wanted to ascend the throne, Zhou Heng had to die.

Old Wu looked at Zhou Heng, who was frowning slightly, and sighed. “It’s not easy for you to return to the capital. The imperial examination is a path, but you must not be too sharp.”

Zhou Heng was not an ordinary person. He had to return to the capital, but it would not be easy for him to return under Zhou Zhi’s influence.

It was justifiable for him to enter the capital during the Imperial Examination. It was an opportunity for Zhou Heng.

If there was a wise ruler in the country, the country would be prosperous and the people would be safe. Old Wu did not want a brutal person to take the throne, so he reminded Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng understood. He nodded and cupped his hands respectfully at Old Wu. “Thank you for telling me, sir. I understand.”

It was all thanks to Old Wu that he was safe now. Zhou Zhi could not find him here.

He just hadn’t expected it to come to this between brothers.

He had to return to the capital. This path was filled with danger. He had to be careful so that Zhou Zhi would not have the chance to attack him.

Old Wu looked at the calm Zhou Heng and narrowed his eyes. “It’s good that you know what you’re doing. I don’t have the time to care about anything else, but if you have any bad plans for my disciple, an old man like me will not be polite to you.”

Zhou Heng looked at Old Wu and nodded. “Don’t worry, sir. I’m not an ungrateful person. They treat me like their own. Ah Chong and Ah Hua also protect me like my own. Even if I die, I won’t hurt them.”

“Uh-huh—”

Old Wu retracted his sharpness and snorted to show that he understood.

He couldn’t be bothered to care about the battle for the throne, as long as it didn’t involve anything he cared about. He wouldn’t be polite to Zhou Heng if he had some weird ideas.
