Opening an office in Taila

"Come, this is delicious, eh? Don't like it? That won't do. You only eat meat and few vegetables, how can you be healthy... You should drink less beverages and more water... Have some of this, it's not good to be picky about food... Oh, the rice over there is ready, I'll get it for you." When Shu got up to serve the rice, Song Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. Shu made people feel as if they were back to their childhood decades ago, with their mother nagging in their ears.

But having said that, the food cooked by Sister Shu was really good, and could even compete with that cooked by Lao Li. Although Sister Shu kept nagging in his ear, Song Yufeng was still very happy to eat because of the delicious food and her gentle voice, and the fact that the old Taoist priest did not accept the invitation. As for Grandpa Xiao, according to him, this was also one of the best meals he had ever eaten in his life.

Alas, where can you find a girl as gentle and considerate as Sister Shu, who can both be a housewife and a good cook, and who is also pretty? If I find a wife like Sister Shu in the future, I would feel like I saved the galaxy in my previous life. I would be so happy.

Sister Shu put the food on the table, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Which one?"

No one answered from the other side of the door. Puzzled, Shu opened the door and was surprised to see the person coming. Then, she hugged him in delight and said, "Brother! Long time no see."

The word "big brother" made Song Yufeng look over curiously. At this time, he saw that the person coming was the super master of Yumen Pass, Chongyue.

Only then did Song Yufeng understand that Zhongyue was also one of the giant beast fragments, and he was also the big brother. No wonder he felt a little uncomfortable around him when he was suppressing the bandits.

See, this is what it means to not pay attention to the plot. At the same time, the small head controls the big head, only cares about the ending of the female character's plot, and can't even figure out the interpersonal relationships.

The two men reminisced about the past and then walked in together. "These two look unfamiliar, who are they?" Zhongyue asked.

"This is Song Yufeng, and that person over there is Xiao Yichen. They are imperial envoys sent by the emperor."

"Hello, both of you. However, you look familiar to me." Zhongyue said to Song Yufeng.

"Ah, that's right. Song once wiped out that water stronghold with your help."

"Oh, I remember now. You were the first one to rush into the water stronghold. Song Yufeng, that name... Could it be that you were the one who killed the imperial guards?"

Song Yufeng said helplessly: "That's right." At the same time, he felt a little helpless in his heart. He thought that the imperial guard would never have thought that he would be remembered in this way.

"Well, that's good. He's young and promising, and has a bright future. Also, I wonder if this old senior, whose surname is Xiao, has any connection with the old senior from the Xiao family?"

"If Grandmaster Zhongyue is talking about my father, then that's it. I am his son." Old Master Xiao said lightly.

Zhong Yue was immediately filled with awe and said, "If that's true, then if you calculate your age, you're already a hundred years old, right?"

"My father unfortunately passed away."

“…” Zhongyue opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he just said with a gloomy expression: “My condolences.”

"Master Zhongyue, I've heard my father talk about you before. He spoke highly of you, saying you were the very essence of 'Martial Arts'. It was a pity that we never faced each other again, and it was also a pity that I, a mortal, couldn't live the same lifespan as you. He simply told me that if I could ever meet you again, he would tell you this: 'I wish I could be a river, so we could meet again.'"

"It's nice to meet you again..." Zhongyue sighed, then said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

"That's fine, but my father has a wish that I need to fulfill."

"Please say."

"My father once fought with you on the top of a mountain for three days, a total of 49 games, but in the end there was no winner. Now, my father hopes that I can defeat you one day. And I think today is a good time." Old Man Xiao picked up his wooden sword and said.

Zhongyue said to Shu, "Sorry, sister, I'm afraid I have to leave you for a while."

"It's okay. Song Yufeng and I are waiting for you here. You can come and eat after you finish your duel."

Zhongyue and Old Man Xiao went out, and no one knew when they would come back.

"So Mr. Xiao's father and Brother Zhongyue have this kind of past?"

"I've heard my eldest brother say before that he thinks highly of the old Xiao family member, calling him his only formidable rival in thousands of years. It's a pity, alas, how long can a mortal body last?" Shu sighed, "Brother Zhongyue has been stationed at the border for countless years. His friends and comrades have all left him, leaving him with only Yumen Pass, the Yumen Pass beneath his feet, and countless human martial arts to keep him company. It's truly heartbreaking to think about it."

"Yeah, hey, who do you think will win between Mr. Xiao and Brother Zhongyue?"

"It's hard to say, because I haven't seen Senior Xiao Yichen's methods. What's more, he is holding a wooden sword, not the sword that was passed down from the Xiao family's ancestors."

"That's true. Old Master Xiao once told me about his ancestor's knife, but I've never seen him use it."

"Maybe there's some secret involved. Never mind. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

"Uh, no thanks, I'm full."

"Really? At your age, you should be able to eat, right? Why did you only eat so little? Are you really full?"

"I'm really full, Sister Shu, let's eat it in the evening, dinner later."

"Well, let's freeze these dishes. They'll be ready for dinner tonight. Oh, and since I have nothing to do now, why don't I read your palm?"

"Palm reading?" Song Yufeng suddenly remembered that Sister Shu seemed to have a certain ability to predict the future and read palms, and it was quite effective.

However, both Old Carp and Old Man Xiao had looked at it for him. Old Carp said he couldn't see anything. When he was telling the fortune for Song Yufeng, the copper coin he used even broke directly. Old Man Xiao said it was unbelievable. But after all, millet was a fragment of a giant beast, and it possessed divine power that mortals could not reach. Maybe he could see something more?

Song Yufeng extended his hand, but after Shu took a look, his expression froze. After thinking for a moment, Shu gave Song Yufeng a strange look, and then muttered: "The three lines of heaven, earth and man have unknown origins, the lines of fate are broken, the paths are full of conflicts, and there are many troubles in life, but now he is safe and sound here... Could it be..."

Shu shook his head and finally said, "The fate of heaven cannot be explained or observed. Song Yufeng, I can only tell you that for the rest of your life, you must be cautious in everything you say and do, and try your best."
