Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 748 - 746: Who Cracked the Pot?

When Le Zhao returned, Duan Yunfei once again had Xuan Ming check on his injuries to confirm that they were indeed improving, and only then did the group finally relax.

Outside the house, snowflakes danced in the wind. Inside, the group sat around the tea table, chatting leisurely about various topics.

Speaking of matters in the Jianghu, Duan Yunfei suddenly recalled the investigation he had asked Chu Wuqu to help with, and quickly spoke up, "Master, has there been any news on the matter I asked you to look into?"

Chu Wuqu pondered for a moment, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "You mean, the old man?"

Duan Yunfei nodded, "Yes!"

Chu Wuqu said, "It seems that this highly skilled martial artist who once did work for Chen Qi would only be that person."

"Which person?" Duan Yunfei furrowed his brows.

"This person is named Yan Ji, once one of the renowned experts in the Jianghu," Chu Wuqu said, "However, it seems he was later injured by someone from the Poison Sect, and during his escape, was saved by the people from Haoyue Manor."

"Yan Ji?" Duan Yunfei furrowed his brows, "I’ve heard my father mention him, but he seems to rarely appear in the world."

"Indeed." Chu Wuqu nodded, "Why he spared you that day, even I do not understand, but he was indebted to Haoyue Manor, so I think he came that day likely to repay their kindness."

"Really?" Duan Yunfei mused, "So, it might be quite difficult to meet him again?"

"Still, his actions nearly cost you your life; that’s true!" Chu Wuqu said coldly, "Harming my disciple, Chu Wuqu’s disciple, cannot be left unsettled!"

He looked at Duan Yunfei and said, "My disciple, rest assured, one day your master will seek justice for you."

Duan Yunfei smiled, "Thank you, Master!"

"Hmm." Chu Wuqu nodded.

"Speaking of which, it seems your master is a bit hungry," Chu Wuqu said with a playful smile towards Shen Qinglan, "My girl, isn’t it time to prepare dinner?"

Shen Qinglan smiled gracefully, nodded, and stood up, "I’ll go get busy then."

Xuan Ming also stood and said, "I’ll go with Miss Shen."

"No need," Duan Yunfei said, "I’ll go with her."

"Ah?" Xuan Ying blinked, "Young Master, you’re going to the kitchen?"

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Is there something wrong with that?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Not wrong, it’s just..." Xuan Ying chuckled awkwardly, "We’ve been with you for so long, and we’ve never seen you cook. Are you sure you won’t just be getting in the way?"

"You..."

Duan Yunfei raised his hand, pretending to hit him, and Xuan Ying quickly covered his head, pleading for mercy, "Young Master, spare me, I’ll never dare again!"

Le Zhao stood up and blocked Xuan Ying, "Look at how scared you’ve made him; even his form of address has changed."

Duan Yunfei snorted coldly, finally lowering his hand.

Shen Qinglan laughed, "Xuan Ming will come with me; you should stay here and talk to Senior Chu."

Xuan Ying peeked out from behind Le Zhao and shouted, "My brother is going; I want to go too!"

"Alright," Shen Qinglan said, "You can come with Xuan Ming."

"Okay!"

Xuan Ying jumped up, ignoring Duan Yunfei’s resentful gaze, and followed Shen Qinglan with Xuan Ming.

"Alright, alright!" Unable to bear it, Chu Wuqu waved his hand, "You can’t start a fire or cook, what are you going to do in the kitchen? You’ll only make trouble."

Duan Yunfei retorted upon hearing this, "Master, I can start a fire."

Chu Wuqu said, "But can you cook?"

Le Zhao laughed, "Senior, you should ask, can he cook anything edible?"

Duan Yunfei scoffed coldly and said, "Don’t underestimate me. If I wanted to learn how to cook, it surely wouldn’t be bad."

"Oh really," Chu Wuqu said, "Then who was it who cracked my pot back in the day?"
