Douluo: Tang San took me to the Wuhun Palace

Chapter 451 A Short Break
Several key locations were quickly inspected, and while there were no major issues, there were a few that did have problems.

After finishing her inspection here, Tang Qi squeezed Jiang Qianjing's hand. "Hey, do you want me to go take a look at your place?"

"Okay, then thank you, Qiqi."

As he spoke, Jiang Qianjing lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against Tang Qi's, his eyes full of affection.

Tang Qi stepped back slightly, her face flushed, her eyes darting around. "Stop fooling around, let's go."

As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Qianjing forward quickly, trying to avoid the gazes of some gossipy onlookers.

With a smile in her eyes, Jiang Qianjing followed Tang Qi's lead and walked forward. After walking a distance, she spoke, "Let's go to the other side first."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi abruptly stopped in her tracks, giving Jiang Qianjing a reproachful glare with her beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Qianjing immediately smiled apologetically and said in a friendly and ingratiating tone, "Okay, Qiqi, I was wrong. I won't tease you anymore."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and nuzzled her head, mimicking Xiangxiang's playful gesture.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination.

Before we knew it, evening had arrived amidst the hustle and bustle.

After the meal, Jiang Qianjing escorted the person back to the Spirit Hall and left only after seeing the person go inside.

Back in the courtyard, Tang Qi immediately found Tang San and told him about the person with the problem.

The issue of Lou Gao was left until the end, and Tang Qi also addressed the potential problems between Lou Gao and his disciples.

After hearing the situation, Tang San simply nodded to indicate that he understood, and then told Tang Qi to go back and rest early.

It seems he should go to Lou Gao's place first tomorrow.

Besides the questions raised by Tang Qi, he also had some drawings he had done in his spare time.

If conflicts arise during your free time, it's because you're not busy enough and are living too leisurely.

He glanced at the blueprints next to him, quickly pulled out a few copies, and then divided them into four parts.

These aren't particularly important, but they're enough for Lou Lao's apprentices to study. Adding the time they spend helping Lou Lao, it seems like all they can do besides sleep is work.

Tang Qi was unaware of all these actions, and she did not use Jiang Qianjing's words to persuade Tang San.

Anyway, Tang San would do it even without her saying so.

Time is like a sword hanging over our heads, and we don't know when it will fall. Of course, we should prepare as much as possible, rather than having too much time for internal strife.

Apart from these, they haven't met with any of their partners since they returned.

Jiang You and his companion found some information, but it was still too little. They needed more in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Lost in thought, Tang Qi gradually drifted off to sleep. The sweet snoring in her ears, along with the chirping of insects and birds, seemed to be playing a soothing lullaby.

A good night's sleep.

Tang San planned to find an opportunity to meet Bing Linghai, while Tang Qi was assigned to find Jiang Qianjing and work with him to collect information on the organization they had just discovered.

As for Jiang You and Xiang Ze, they were even more busy. Apart from meeting when they first came back, they hadn't seen each other at all since. Apart from the occasional information that appeared, they almost thought he had disappeared.

Tang Qi leisurely found Jiang Qianjing and slumped against him, saying, "Although we're just collecting data, Jiang You and the others are much better at it than we are. What else can we do?"

The last syllable was slightly drawn out, and the voice sounded somewhat helpless.

Jiang Qianjing patted her head and said, "Do whatever you want. You don't necessarily have to obsessively collect information."

"By the way, the others should be back in the next few days, and we can all get together the day after tomorrow. Why don't we go and talk to Uncle Chen about having a get-together?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly.

Having decided what to do, the two set off immediately, not forgetting to bring along Xiangxiang, who was patrolling their territory with her tail wagging.

It was still early; when the two arrived at the restaurant, the doors weren't even open yet.

"Jiangjiang, Uncle Chen has worked hard all these years; this restaurant has really grown bigger and bigger."

Looking through the half-height wall into the hotel, it was clear that the hotel had expanded considerably, perhaps at least doubled in size.
Seeing that Tang Qi was still taking a deep breath, Jiang Qianjing raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Uncle Chen? Are you there?"

At the same time, the Peng bird appeared on Jiang Qianjing's shoulder and flew inside freely, its wings flapping against the window and making noise.

"I was wondering who it was. It's you two back. Why are there only two of you?" Uncle Chen yawned as he came out of the restaurant to open the door for the two of them.

Tang Qi followed Uncle Chen inside with light steps. "You're back. We're planning to have a get-together the day after tomorrow when everyone is back. I was wondering if it would be convenient for you, Uncle Chen?"

Uncle Chen laughed heartily, "What could be inconvenient for me? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"You've been busy outside all these years, and I've come up with quite a few new tricks. You'd better give them a good try this time."

Tang Qi smiled, her voice brimming with joy, "No wonder Uncle Chen's restaurant has gotten so much bigger. It seems all of Uncle Chen's new dishes are incredibly delicious."

"Our Xiao Qi is so sweet-talking! Don't rush off later, try some of the dishes here first." Uncle Chen invited them to sit down and handed them water.

Tang Qi nodded quickly.

The two of them completely forgot about Jiang Qianjing as they talked back and forth.

Seeing this, Jiang Qianjing shook her head with amusement, but did not disturb the two, and just looked at the scenery outside the window.

As noon approached, the two went up to a private room on the top floor, which Uncle Chen had specially reserved for them.

They didn't actually want to just sit there in the private room, but Uncle Chen mysteriously wouldn't let them go down, saying he wanted to make something that no one else had ever tried before.

"Uncle Chen is still the same as before. Jiang Jiang, what do you think Uncle Chen is going to do?" Tang Qi looked curiously in the direction Uncle Chen left, as if she could see his movements through layers of obstacles.

"It's just a trial, the portion isn't large, and with others helping to prepare the ingredients, it should be ready soon." Jiang Qianjing manually straightened her head.

It won't be long before we don't have to wait so anxiously.

Before he could finish speaking, a bell rang, and a small cup of various drinks was served first.

The cup is indeed small, basically just a sip, enough to taste but not filling your stomach.

The following dishes were served one by one, with flavors ranging from mild to strong, so that the deliciousness of the other dishes would not be missed because of the strong flavors at the beginning.

With each dish served, Tang Qi's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

At this moment, Uncle Chen, who had finished up, returned to the private room. Looking at her bright eyes, Uncle Chen couldn't stop smiling.

Tang Qi caught a glimpse of Uncle Chen out of the corner of her eye, and quickly looked up, nodding repeatedly and occasionally taking the time to praise Uncle Chen's cooking skills.

Those endless compliments made Uncle Chen feel so good that he was happier than if he had heard any other praise.

How can you compare your own child to others?

After Tang Qi, Jiang Qianjing, and Xiangxiang finished the last dish, Uncle Chen finally spoke, "How was it? These were all researched and developed when you were out and about. I guarantee that none of them are the same."

The two people and the cat nodded in unison. Indeed, these were dishes they had never eaten before, and each had its own unique flavor.

In addition, they had been eating mostly seafood for a long time and were quite tired of it, so these dishes were truly a delicacy to them. However, there were just too many dishes to try, and even if there were a large group of them, it would be impossible to serve them all; they would have to pick out some that they didn't want.

Tang Qi's mind kept wandering over each dish, and she was reluctant to part with any of them.

Seeing that the table had been cleaned up, Tang Qi simply lay down on it. "Uncle Chen, I really can't choose. They're all so delicious, I can't even find the words to describe them."

Uncle Chen looked amusedly at her expression, which was exactly the same as Xiangxiang's beside her, and then turned to Jiang Qianjing and Xiangxiang, "So, what about you two? Want to choose?"

Both the person and the cat shook their heads at the same time.

"Alright then, it's up to me to do my job, and you two can pick some that you really like?" Uncle Chen asked the two of them for their opinions.

What opinions could they possibly have? Of course they have no opinions.

After setting a time and agreeing on their food preferences, the two people and the cat prepared to leave.

Knowing that the children were busy after they returned, Uncle Chen didn't insist that they stay and watched them leave from the window.

Tang Qi glanced back at the window, raised her hand and waved. This time, she was truly leaving.

"If you want to stay, then stay. Anyway, you don't have to do everything yourself."

As she spoke, Jiang Qianjing looked at Xiangxiang, whose belly had grown larger and who kept turning her head back, and said, "There's one here that doesn't want to leave."

Tang Qi patted him on the shoulder, "Uncle Chen will be busy soon, there's no point in us staying there."

"However, Uncle Chen is opening the door much later than before."

Jiang Qianjing raised an eyebrow slightly, "Uncle Chen's hobby is researching new dishes. Opening a restaurant is just a side thing. The fact that it has become what it is today is already a testament to Uncle Chen's hard work."

Tang Qi nodded. "That makes sense."

However, in the past, the store closed early, but now it opens late, so it's actually only open for a short time around noon.

But the number of people outside the city hasn't decreased either.

As if knowing what Tang Qi was thinking, Jiang Qianjing said softly, "Uncle Chen has reopened a small restaurant on the other side, just like before, but he's just hiring someone to cook for him now."

"That's good too." Tang Qi glanced back, trying to spot the newly opened restaurant. "It's convenient for people staying overnight, and Uncle Chen won't get tired. It's good."

Time slips away quietly amidst the hustle and bustle and the stolen moments of leisure.

This is a day for everyone to reunite.

Everyone got a good night's rest the night before, and the next day everyone was full of energy.

As agreed, the group arrived at Uncle Chen's restaurant one after another. The group of teenagers gathered together and chattered away.

Uncle Chen chuckled and ushered everyone to the backyard, saying, "I won't open the door today, so you can all rest here."

After saying that, he turned and left.

It's rare for these kids to get together, so he didn't want to get involved.

Looking through the window, Uncle Chen's eyes filled with loving kindness.

After watching for a while, Uncle Chen called to everyone in the kitchen, "Come on, everyone come and help, let these kids have a good meal."

Uncle Chen's departure did not affect the group's laughter; the slight awkwardness of not seeing each other for a long time was quickly broken down in the midst of their chatter.

Sun Chuantao looked at the dark circles under Jiang You and Xiang Ze's eyes and chuckled as he leaned closer, "Hey, what have you two been up to lately? Qiaoqiao's dark circles look like she's been punched."

Jiang You slapped away his hand, "You're the one who got hit. You were gone for so long and were the last one to come back. What's wrong? Your skills have declined?"

Tang Qi pretended not to hear their conversation.

Such dark circles under the eyes could be caused by someone else, so she'd better not interrupt at this point.

Seeing Tang Qi deliberately avoiding his gaze, Sun Chuantao seemed to know something and his gaze fell on Tang San.

However, the next second, he saw Tang San's slightly upturned lips and somewhat raised eyebrows, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Forget it, he'd better stop teasing Tang San; this guy isn't someone they can joke around with.

This connection unconsciously brought back memories of his childhood.

Back then, those little kids were really tricked. Every day they opened their eyes to a new pitfall, and each pitfall was different.

Seeing that the man was distracted, Jiang You slapped him on the back without hesitation.

Snapped!
For a moment, the laughter and chatter stopped.

Wow~ How come Jiang You's grip strength has gotten so strong?
Tang Qi looked at Jiang You's hand with a puzzled expression; she didn't seem to have noticed it before.

Sun Chuantao retaliated without hesitation, saying, "You little brat, you really know how to hit hard."

Another slapping sound rang out, and everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Yan leaned over and put an arm around Sun Chuantao's shoulder. "Tao, your reaction isn't good. Look at you, you're all bruised."

Sun Chuantao rolled his eyes. "Get out of the way, you're so heavy. Besides, with Xiao Jiangyou's strength, what could possibly happen to him?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi looked over in shock.

That's a strong grip, judging from the sound it makes. Is she really that stubborn?
Zhang Ping chuckled and gestured for Tang Qi to come closer, "If you admit that Jiang You has a strong hand, then isn't that saying he's no match for Jiang You?"

After listening, Tang Qi nodded, "That's true, they wouldn't recognize anyone else."

Hu Liena chimed in, "Just you wait and see, Sun Chuantao will definitely find a chance to retaliate."

"Cough cough cough, those three over there, I'm still here." Sun Chuantao overheard the three girls' conversation, his eyes filled with unwavering determination that he would never return the favor.

Tang Qi put her index finger to her lips, indicating that they hadn't said anything.

At this moment, a row of shop assistants brought up the food one by one.

Taking this opportunity, Tang Qi and the other two exchanged knowing glances and made faces at each other, secretly exchanging accusations.

Everyone chose their favorite dishes, and the moment they put them in their mouths, they all showed expressions of enjoyment.

"It's so delicious! I haven't had anything this good in ages."

Sun Chuantao's voice was exceptionally loud, his eyes filled with love for the food, his longing gaze as if he had just escaped from some disaster.

Tang San looked over, amused. "You went to a normal city, so why are you acting all... um..."

He didn't finish his sentence, afraid of upsetting someone.

Sun Chuantao choked.

Does the location of the mission determine this?!
If you have enough tasks, you'll only be able to eat steamed buns even if you stay in a hotel!

His resentful expression made Yan, who was standing next to him, suddenly sit up straight.

Just as Yan was about to say something, Hu Liena stopped him. She didn't want to be stared at because of someone's feelings.
