Chapter 1253: Chapter 1249: Deep Guilt in His Eyes (Part 1)

Upon returning to the village, Mu Shuangshuang’s first task was to find Lu Yuanfeng and tell him about her daytime accomplishments.

When she went to the training field, Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen happened to be training.

Mu Shuangshuang stood at the edge of the training ground and watched for a while. Over these days, Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen had been undergoing rigorous training under Cheng Dagang day and night, and the effects were now quite evident!

Lu Yuanfeng has a lot of strength but is rather wild. Although he stayed in the military camp for five years, he didn’t have someone to truly guide him in martial arts. Coupled with living on the mountain for years, he carried a strong wild aura.

As for Xing Beichen, growing up in the Capital, although he encountered many good teachers, he lacked strength and was known for his flashy moves.

Now, after training, Lu Yuanfeng began calculating every step he took!

Xing Beichen’s stamina had improved significantly. Although still lagging compared to Lu Yuanfeng, building endurance is not something that can be achieved overnight!

"Girl, what are you doing standing there? Come over quickly!"

In a simple shade beside the training ground, Cheng Dagang looked very leisurely.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, he waved her over, and she walked towards him.

She saw the chair in the shade and sat down without thinking.

"Elder Cheng, you’ve worked hard during this time!" Mu Shuangshuang started chatting with Cheng Dagang.

"It’s not hard! Not hard! It’s you, girl, working hard, cooking for so many people every day and coming up with fresh dishes!"

Cheng Dagang beamed; these days, he felt happy every time he saw Mu Shuangshuang!

During this period, he had tasted many dishes he had never eaten before. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Snail, crayfish, beef tendon, cold rabbit meat... Just thinking about these dishes could make Cheng Dagang drool!

"I’m glad Elder Cheng likes them! I’m happy to cook for everyone! By the way, Elder Cheng, after training these past days, what do you think are these two’s strengths and weaknesses? Where do they need improvement?"

Getting a rare chance to chat with Cheng Dagang, Mu Shuangshuang naturally seized the opportunity to ask her questions.

Cheng Dagang wasn’t stingy.

"As for Fengzi, there’s no problem. Although he’s a bit wild, he’s smart!

He’s somewhat like Xing Ningtian from the past, whether in strength or endurance!

As for Xing Family’s young one, his strength is lacking a bit, but it’s not a major issue. More training in the camp, and he’ll have a bright future!"

Having trained them for some time, Cheng Dagang understood their situation well and was quite satisfied.

"Girl, I heard Xing Family’s young man say that they’re heading to the Northwest base soon. Are you... okay with him leaving?"

Cheng Dagang wasn’t usually one for gossip, but when it came to Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, he couldn’t help but be curious!

"Of course, I don’t want him to go, but a good man is ambitious. I can’t hold him back," Mu Shuangshuang said.

She quickly added, "I’m not some young lady confined to home; if I miss Fengzi, I’ll go to the Northwest to find him!"

Mu Shuangshuang was no longer the person who worried over copper coins after her initial transmigration!

Now, having gotten six hundred taels of Silver from Xia Guagua through some trickery, going to the Northwest was no obstacle!

Cheng Dagang was taken aback and, after a moment, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Girl, you have courage. If you stand by Fengzi, I don’t think there are many who can rival you two!" Cheng Dagang said.

He called out to the men still sweating it out on the training ground.

"Fengzi, Beichen, today’s training is done. You’re off for the next two days, make your own arrangements!"

After he spoke, Mu Shuangshuang looked at him in surprise.

"Oh, girl, stop looking at me. I know what you’re thinking, and I also need to go out with my wife, to foster and nurture our feelings!" he said.

Once finished, Cheng Dagang took the lead to go home.

Xing Beichen was quick to react too, not heading towards the shade, he hurried out of the training field.

Suddenly, it was just her and Lu Yuanfeng left on the training ground.

Lu Yuanfeng approached Mu Shuangshuang, and she passed him her handkerchief, "Wipe off your sweat!"

"Um!" Receiving the handkerchief, Lu Yuanfeng smiled but hesitated to wipe his face.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang watching him, he shyly replied, "I don’t want to dirty it. I’m fine; the sweat will dry in a while!"

Mu Shuangshuang said, "You can wash it if it gets dirty. I have plenty of handkerchiefs, and besides, I don’t mind the dirt!"

While speaking, Mu Shuangshuang took the handkerchief from Lu Yuanfeng and carefully wiped his face.

Lu Yuanfeng became even more embarrassed, especially being so close to Shuangshuang at that moment; lowering his head meant seeing her gentle face.

Her eyelashes were long, fluttering like little fans when she blinked, adorably charming.

"You’re pretty!" Lu Yuanfeng remarked.

Mu Shuangshuang paused while wiping sweat, eventually saying, "Flattery!"

"By the way, Fengzi, I did something big today!" Mu Shuangshuang said mysteriously.

"What big thing, the restaurant across the street had issues?" Lu Yuanfeng guessed.

"Smart, you guessed it right!" Mu Shuangshuang chuckled.

She began recounting her recent actions to Lu Yuanfeng, involving Mu Tou and Erzhu, then the credit given to Wei Dacong this time.

Lu Yuanfeng appeared stunned as his hand tightly grasped Mu Shuangshuang’s, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Guilt, fear, worry, though mostly guilt!

He hadn’t had time to manage the restaurant recently, but the restaurant had many ongoing issues, with Xia Guagua always pestering Shuangshuang and Chengfeng Restaurant.

Causing trouble almost every day!

"Alright, don’t blame yourself. Ages ago, I told you that my life is most important!

If there’s danger, I surely won’t go myself; I only did it knowing I could handle it!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Lu Yuanfeng was still unable to forgive himself, so Mu Shuangshuang had to resort to her trump card.

"Fengzi, you doubt my capability?" she asked.

Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, "It’s not that I doubt you, it’s just that Xia Guagua is too malicious, you never know her next move!

This time, her restaurant became a shell; I guess next, she’ll want to sell it, get some money, and continue fighting us!"

Dealing with Xia Guagua wasn’t new to Lu Yuanfeng; he knew Xia Guagua very well!

"Yes! Brother Yu and I thought similarly, so we made moves secretly; her restaurant shouldn’t sell easily!"
