A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"kitchen?"

Han Fei was taken aback; it was indeed a small matter.

I just didn't expect him to entrust me with even such a small matter.

Han Fei's feelings were very complicated for a moment.

"No problem, I'll get it done for my uncle as soon as possible!"

He nodded and agreed.

"I can rest assured that you will do the work!"

Bai Yuan was very satisfied with Han Fei's performance.

After saying that, he didn't stay in the library any longer. Now, seeing these books made his head throb.

No, I need to rest some more!

Having found a suitable excuse, Bai Yuan returned to his residence.

Seeing that Ningyan had already started studying the recipe, he didn't interfere and practiced his sword alone in the courtyard.

Chapter 54 Did something good happen to you?

Time flies, and Bai Yuan has been staying at Xiaoshengxianzhuang for more than ten days.

During this period, Han Fei did his best and built a fairly decent kitchen for him in three days.

On the very night the kitchen was completed, Wuming, along with Xun Kuang and Lu Zhonglian, came over to freeload a meal.

This left Bai Yuan with no choice but to cook for them himself.

After that, he basically never went to the kitchen again, because Ningyan had mastered his skills and learned all the recipes in that cookbook.

Now, Ningyan prepares all three of his meals for him every day.

After that, Bai Yuan's life became very regular. Every morning he would go to the library to read books, and in the afternoon he would either cultivate in the courtyard or take Ningyan out for a stroll.

It's not that I necessarily have to buy anything; it's just about enjoying the everyday life and atmosphere of the streets and alleys.

After lunch, Bai Yuan rested for a while, then took Ningyan out for a stroll.

The two wandered aimlessly through the streets until they suddenly stopped in front of a tavern.

"Bai Yuan?"

The tavern owner and his wife were slightly taken aback when they saw the newcomer, and their faces showed a hint of surprise.

"Hey! I didn't expect that you'd all be opening taverns after such a short time!"

The shopkeepers here are none other than Xuan Jian and his wife. They have disguised themselves, and if you hadn't seen them selling wine before, you might not have recognized them.

Bai Yuan chuckled and playfully punched Xuan Jian on the shoulder.

“I had to do something, I couldn’t just sit around and do nothing, right? Luckily I have some experience in this area, so I thought about it and decided to take over this place. We just opened a couple of days ago.”

Xuan Jian smiled and explained.

"You didn't even tell me you were opening! You'll have to punish yourself with three drinks later!"

Bai Yuan joked as he led Ningyan into the tavern.

The shop that Xuan Jian and his companion had taken over wasn't very big. There were only six or seven small tables inside, and behind the counter were some large cabinets filled with wine jars.

There were also some customers in the shop drinking and chatting.

Bai Yuan didn't care about any of that, and casually found a table to sit down with Ningyan.

"Just bring me some wine!"

Xuan Jian nodded and brought over two jars of wine.

He poured a bowl for Bai Yuan first, and then poured one for himself.

Bai Yuan looked at the wine in the bowl, took a sniff, picked it up and took a sip.

Due to limitations in brewing techniques, this wine has a low alcohol content, but it still has a unique flavor.

Xuan Jian brought a type of turbid wine, which is Liqi, one of the Five Qi.

The Zhou Li (Rites of Zhou) contains some records about the Five Qi: The names of the Five Qi are: first, Fan Qi; second, Li Qi; third, Ang Qi; fourth, Ti Qi; and fifth, Shen Qi.

Among them, the ratio of juice to dregs in Liqi wine is relatively stable, and its flavor is sweet.

"how?"

Xuan Jian was actually quite confident in his skills. Although this wine wasn't top-tier, it was still quite good.

Bai Yuan smacked his lips and nodded slightly: "Although the wine flavor is not strong, it has a sweet aftertaste, which I quite like."

"That's good!"

Xuan Jian sat down, took a couple of sips, and nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, a guest on the side shouted a couple of times at them.

"Shopkeeper, give me another jar of wine!"

Upon hearing a customer make a request, Xuan Jian and his companion gave each other an apologetic look.

"

"It's alright, you guys go ahead and do your work."

Bai Yuan waved his hand.

Xuan Jian nodded, and then went to serve other customers.

Seeing that the former top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization had now become a tavern owner, Bai Yuan found it quite amusing.

After Xuan Jian and the other two left, Bai Yuan drank alone.

Ningyan sat to one side, not touching a drop of alcohol.

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared at the doorway again.

When did a new tavern open here?

Han Fei glanced up at the signboard, looked slightly puzzled, and then walked in.

He spotted Bai Yuan sitting inside drinking at a glance, and was slightly surprised. He stopped in his tracks, realizing it was too late to leave now.

"Han Fei, what a coincidence!"

Bai Yuan smiled at him, but then his expression changed slightly.

He sensed an ominous black aura emanating from Han Fei, like a black snake coiling around him.

Upon seeing this aura, Bai Yuan actually felt a sense of crisis.

He remembered that when he met Han Fei a few days ago, this thing didn't exist yet.

As if sensing Bai Yuan's presence, the aura quickly hid and disappeared.

At this moment, Bai Yuan roughly understood what this thing was. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be a spirit like Tao Yao. It seems that Han Fei has gotten himself into some trouble!

However, Han Fei was completely unaware of anything unusual; he was only somewhat surprised to see Bai Yuan and the other person.

"That's quite a coincidence."

"sit down!"

Bai Yuan said calmly.

Han Fei did not refuse and sat down to drink with him.

After taking a couple of sips, Bai Yuan began to ask probing questions.

"What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you for the past two days."

Han Fei sighed softly.

"My teacher has assigned me a lot of homework recently, so I've been very busy."

"You haven't been out lately?"

"Ahem. Actually, this is the first time I've gone out in half a month. I even sneaked out. Uncle-Master, please don't tell the teacher. Just pretend you've never seen me. This meal is on me!"

Han Fei's expression immediately changed, and he lowered his voice to plead.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded, indicating that it was no problem. He naturally wouldn't refuse when someone offered to treat him to drinks.

However, he was somewhat worried. If what Han Fei said was true, wouldn't that mean that the thing that had entangled Han Fei was likely inside the Little Sage Village?

But that doesn't make sense!

With so many great figures in Confucianism, each possessing righteousness and immune to all evil, how could such an evil spirit carrying ominous energy possibly appear?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan continued, "So, who have you been in contact with these past two days?"

Han Fei found this strange as well.

Bai Yuan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Uncle-Master, what exactly do you want to ask?"

At this moment, Han Fei had a bad feeling.

Bai Yuan quickly laughed it off.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. You know I'm a Taoist disciple, so I'm quite skilled at reading people's faces. I see you look radiant today, and I'm wondering if you've encountered something good."

"Phew! I see!" Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief. "These past two days I've been busy at Little Sage Village finishing the homework assigned by the teacher, and I haven't had any contact with anyone. Oh, right, some people came to visit the teacher yesterday, and I happened to be there, so I met them with the teacher. Does that count?"

"them?"

Bai Yuan felt he had found the problem.

"Yes, two people from Jimo City wanted to invite you to some kind of banquet in Jimo City."

Han Fei stroked his chin and recalled.

Jimo City

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes.
