Chapter 1925 1926: Growing Admiration
Jiang Muxue nodded after listening and said, "Thank you."
Nothing superfluous was said, but a simple thank you was enough. Sun Wei and the others were quite envious, so they couldn't help but try a bit themselves.
Zhang Zhenlin gave a thumbs-up, "Absolutely amazing, each type of meat is marinated using different methods, so there's no fishy smell, and the texture is just so delicious.
Brother Ling, I'm truly more and more impressed with you. While others spend all their days cultivating Northern Spiritual Energy without much gain, you, being so young, have already reached Dawen Peak, and both your medical arts and your culinary skills are exceptional."
Sun Wei said, "Actually, what I admire most is Brother Ling's life attitude. Nowadays, many people know they are going to Foreign Land Space, and it's either tense or fearful.
But looking at Brother Ling, he seems to act as if this matter has nothing to do with him. I'm truly impressed."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You guys, food can't even shut your mouths. Let me tell you, this time I cooked because I just got to know you. Don't think you can trick me into cooking again next time."
Jiang Wen chuckled and said, "That might not be the case, you never know if you might meet new people in these two days, and there's something I forgot to tell you, the departure time is set."
Upon hearing this, everyone was quite shocked and asked, "When?"
Jiang Wen said, "We'll depart the day after tomorrow, and the news will probably be announced tomorrow, so if there's anything you haven't finished doing, hurry up."
While a few people were eating and chatting, suddenly someone slipped in through the door.
Originally, no one should have come at this time, yet the arrival of this person surprised everyone. The person was Murong Liuqing.
Both Jiang Wen and Ling Zhenfei were shocked, not knowing why Murong Liuqing came here. If you talk about relations, Jiang Wen is certainly very familiar with Murong Liuqing.
However, the relationship between Ling Zhenfei and her is limited to two meals, almost coming to blows, but in any case, it can be considered an acquaintance through conflict.
Murong Liuqing walked over without invitation.
Jiang Wen greeted Murong Liuqing, "What a coincidence, you're here for a meal again, Junior Sister?"
Murong Liuqing was still the same, expressionless, and said to Jiang Wen and Ling Zhenfei, "You guys are impressive, coming here every now and then to feast and drink.
You're people from the Service Hall, don't you know that deacons can't drink alcohol during the day? Do you want me to report you?"
Jiang Wen was startled, feeling Murong Liuqing was being serious, and said, "Junior Sister, are you kidding? Don't you know what's in this cup? It's not alcohol."
Murong Liuqing said, "How would I know what's inside?"
Jiang Wen said, "You drank the same thing here the day before yesterday, haven't you forgotten already? It's the juice of Heart-Talk Fruit."
Murong Liuqing said, "When did I drink it? You're just talking rubbish; I see it's alcohol in your cup."
Just as Jiang Wen was about to speak, Ling Zhenfei brought a wine cup along with a Heart-Talk Fruit, placed it on the seat next to him, and said, "Alright, stop talking, come and eat together."
Murong Liuqing looked seriously at Ling Zhenfei, the two stared into each other's eyes.
Then, Murong Liuqing smiled, "Just kidding, I came to tell you that the departure date is set."
While speaking, Murong Liuqing casually sat in the seat next to Ling Zhenfei and adeptly opened the Heart-Talk Fruit, pouring the juice into the cup.
Only then did Jiang Wen and the others realize that Murong Liuqing came to use her stance to grab a meal, it's really not easy.
What surprised everyone the most was Murong Liuqing's smile, directed at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was slow to react; a usually very serious lady, cold as ice, suddenly smiled, and it was indeed amazing.
It's like a snow lotus growing in the ice and snow; although everything around is cold, once the snow lotus appears, it makes people forget about the surrounding cold and focuses all attention on the snow lotus.
Ling Zhenfei took a while to react, not expecting Murong Liuqing would joke around.
Murong Liuqing took a sip of Heart-Talk Fruit juice, glanced at Jiang Muxue, and asked Jiang Wen, "Who is she?"
It's said that two tigers don't coexist on one mountain; at one table with four men and two women who are both very pretty, it somehow became a rivalry.
This is very strange; these two women have no relation with these four men.
Perhaps beautiful women are naturally opponents, so when Murong Liuqing said this, it was with a hint of hostility.
Jiang Wen said, "This is Miss Jiang Muxue from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect."
Actually, when members of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect came, it was Murong Liuqing who received them, but due to the large number of people at the time, the issue was not given much attention.
Jiang Wen quickly introduced Murong Liuqing to Jiang Muxue.
Murong Liuqing is from the Discipline Court and also one of the Guardians of Wuliang Book Tower, so she's quite well-known.
However, the two women merely nodded at each other without any further words.
Jiang Muxue said to Ling Zhenfei, "Ling Zhenfei, are you done eating? If you are, let's go."
Murong Liuqing asked Ling Zhenfei in surprise, "Where are you going with her?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Just a minor matter."
Ling Zhenfei said to Jiang Muxue, "Since that's the case, let's go. Let's not keep the elderly waiting."
Since there's no escaping this, it's better to handle it quickly.
Jiang Muxue's task is this matter, so she was naturally very happy to hear Ling Zhenfei say this.
She stood up ready to leave.
Ling Zhenfei told Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin, "You guys continue eating; I'll go first."
Ling Zhenfei followed Jiang Muxue and walked into the distance.
The two walked one behind the other, then Jiang Muxue suddenly turned and asked Ling Zhenfei, "Was that so-called Heart-Talk Fruit really a kind of fruit?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, Xinhua Fruit indeed comes from a very magical tree."
Jiang Muxue said in surprise, "Why does it taste so strange, not like a fruit at all, even better than beverages mixed with chemicals."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That might be the magic of nature."
Jiang Muxue said, "Originally I thought you were just a doctor capable of curing my master's illness, naturally meaning your healing skills are remarkable. But I didn't expect you to be such an outstanding chef.
We people from Shu Region all love eating, but even though I've eaten so many things, nothing tastes as good as today, even though you're not from Shu Region, you cooked this small stir fry so well."
