"No."
Su Chengnan shook her head decisively. She had no information to sell to Lu Chaofeng.
"Girl, why don't you listen to me and make a decision."
"No need."
Su Chengnan took a step and was about to leave.
Lu Chaofeng raised his hand to stop her, as if he wanted to say something else, but a gust of wind blew over and he suddenly started coughing.
"cough……"
"Cough cough..."
He couldn't stop coughing, and his whole face was red from his rapid breathing. He looked really unwell.
Su Chengnan couldn't help but wonder, wasn't he a martial arts expert? This frail appearance must have been an act.
Could it be that I recognized the wrong person? Was he not the man in black from last time?
Su Chengnan tilted her head slightly to look for his eyes, wanting to judge them more carefully, but Lu Chaofeng just straightened up, and her undisguised gaze accidentally met his eyes.
He was open and honest, letting her look at him freely.
Su Chengnan coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "You are not feeling well, so you should go back early."
"Ahem...it's okay, miss, let me finish what I'm saying."
"I understand that a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. I don't have any valuable information to sell you, so there's no need to say more."
"Miss, you're overthinking it!" Lu Chaofeng suddenly smiled, his expression seemed to be self-deprecating and helpless.
"I just noticed this spice was unusual and wanted to ask where your father found it. I mean no harm."
Su Chengnan looked up at him again, and his eyes were as clear and open as ever. She was unsure whether Lu Chaofeng knew about her Su family identity, so she asked tentatively:
"Do you know who my father is?"
"Of course I know."
These four simple words came out of his mouth, and he seemed quite calm, but Su Chengnan's scalp was tingling.
Although she couldn't see anything on his face, her sixth sense was always very accurate. She intuitively felt that Lu Chaofeng really knew who she was, and that his appearance at the city gate today must have been intentional.
She insisted, "Since you already know, why are you asking?"
"This is my first time traveling far from Beijing, so I'm inevitably a little ignorant about many things. I hope you can forgive me, young lady."
"is it?"
"Absolutely no lies."
She has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has dealt with many movie stars, but she has never seen anyone in his early twenties who can act as freely as Lu Chaofeng, and speak with a mixture of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.
"My father spent very little time at home when he was alive. He loved making friends and didn't communicate much with us, his children. I'm sorry I can't help you."
"Okay then." He no longer forced it.
Su Chengnan curled his lips and suddenly changed the subject, "But I can ask your mother for you, maybe she knows."
"Really?" His eyes lit up.
"But I can't guarantee that she will know. Just wait for my news."
"Thank you very much, girl."
"When will you leave, sir?"
He was stunned and his expression became a little embarrassed.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the young lady. I'm a timid person, and this desolate mountain is really scary."
Su Chengnan smiled but said nothing.
What poor scholar would carry so many banknotes all by himself? Are you really addicted to acting? If you weren't afraid of someone lying in wait nearby, I would have robbed you of your banknotes and let you experience the dangers of society.
The two walked one after the other towards the crowded place...
When Su Linhua saw her come back, she immediately put the toasted steamed bread slices on the fire to warm them up, and then handed them to her, "You must be hungry, try it."
"Okay, thank you, second sister."
Su Chengnan looked at the steamed bun in her hand and thought of the two thousand taels of silver in her arms. She pushed Su Linhua with her shoulder.
"I sold the few spices my father left behind to this young master."
"what?"
"The road is long and we need money right now. I believe Dad won't blame us."
"Eldest sister, that thing is worth a fortune! How could you sell it to someone else so cheaply? You're... not being worthy of our father!"
Su Chengnan almost lost his composure at her poor acting. He had no choice but to take out a banknote from his pocket and give one to her, confirming that both sisters were money-grubbers.
"Sir, please understand how much we miss our father. We should also be grateful. Please quickly give the spices to him and send some food over."
"Yes, yes, that's what the eldest sister said."
Su Linhua snatched the string of toasted steamed buns from her hand, picked up the porcelain bottle full of spices and walked over.
"Here, I'll give you one too."
"Thank you, miss."
Lu Chaofeng held the toasted steamed bun slices and returned to his seat in the corner. He looked around and found that there were fewer people, so he stood up and walked towards the forest.
"Hey, where are you going?" Su Linhua called him.
He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I'm going to the mountains to relieve myself."
"Oh, then you better be careful. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in this forest."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Miss."
He almost ran to the edge of the woods, picked up a stick, held it in his hand, and slapped the ground as he walked in. He really acted like it.
The two of them looked away.
Su Chengnan said unhappily, "Do you really think this can scare him?"
"I just think he loves to act, so we have to show our support."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Right~!"
……
After entering the forest, Lu Chaofeng quickly shook off the tail behind him and flew away like a flying bird using his lightness skills.
Almost at the same time, a scholar in white clothes with a similar figure to him appeared and squatted in the grass in his place, deliberately making some noise from time to time.
"Little Lord!"
"Well, where is the team?"
"We've already entered Fengcheng. Qingshan sent someone to ask for instructions. Should the team set off tomorrow or stay for a day or two?"
"Let him wait."
Wu Ming knelt on one knee and frowned, not understanding what his master meant. Didn't he agree to return tonight?
Lu Chaofeng stretched his neck, raised his hand and shot a leaf to the left, and a green and white snake with its tongue spitting out was nailed to the tree.
He curled his lips and sneered: "Take it back and roast it later."
"Yes, young master!"
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw one to Wu Ming. Wu Ming took it with both hands and looked at him in confusion.
"Sprinkle some of this stuff on it while it's being roasted. If you're fine after eating it, quickly send it back to Penglai Valley and ask Brother Yao to check what's inside."
"Young Master, have you eaten anything?" Wu Ming was panicked.
"It's okay, I eat with them."
"Let's ask someone to come and take a look."
"No need, just go and do your work."
"Young Master! You didn't take the antidote today. If you accidentally ingest other poisons, I'm afraid it will be harmful to your health!"
Lu Chaofeng snorted coldly, "I already have the most poisonous blood in the world flowing in my body, what other poison can poison me?"
Wu Ming took a deep breath, feeling bitter and anxious, which was beyond words.
"By the way, did anyone from the Su family go out just now?"
"Have they all been stopped?"
