The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

Everyone else was taken aback by He Yu's words. They looked at each other and then guiltily placed their roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwiches) on the table.

“I thought Hefei went to call the master,” Hewu said, pointing at Hefei.

"You were already up when I got up. I thought you had gone out to call the master," Hefei said in a low voice, sounding a little guilty.

"But He Yu, you've always been with your master, why didn't you think to call him master?"

He Yu was somewhat surprised. He pointed at himself and said, "Me? Do you think I have a chance? I was dragged out of bed before I even got up."

“Even when I’m washing up, you guys are watching me, and as soon as I’m done, you drag me out the door.”

"When I went out, it was just dawn."

"Who knows if the master has woken up?" He felt very aggrieved as he spoke, his voice growing louder and louder until the last sentence was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

However, everyone present was a martial artist, so they heard everything clearly.

Especially He Wu, who suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said, "That's right, in the past, Master would sleep until Chen Shi (7-9 AM) before getting up."

"Even when we call him, he doesn't wake up."

"really!"

"that is!!"

The others completely agreed with He Wu's statement, since they had never woken their master up for breakfast before.

Forgetting this time was inevitable.

That's right!

Having found a reason to convince themselves, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They picked up the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) they had just put down and continued eating.

Unexpectedly, a strange yet incredibly familiar voice came from behind them.

"I'm eating! Is it good?"

They all felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing that sound!

Oops!

The master has arrived!

Doesn't he usually get up around 7 AM?

Why so early today?

He turned around cautiously and, as expected, saw Ji Lingfeng with a dark expression.

They hurriedly stood up and greeted Ji Lingfeng.

"Good morning, Master!"

Fortunately, it was still early, and there was no one else in Shen's restaurant besides them.

Otherwise, their actions would certainly arouse suspicion from those around them.

Ji Lingfeng casually found a seat and sat down. Without his order, no one else dared to sit down.

Just then, Shen Cao came over carrying the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) she had made for them.

The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) they just had was so delicious that they each ordered an extra one.

Shen Cao looked at the people standing in the room with a puzzled expression. As she placed the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) on the table, she asked, "Why are you all standing here? Sit down and eat!"

Upon hearing this, they glanced at Ji Lingfeng sitting to the side, and only then did Shen Cao notice Ji Lingfeng, who was being blocked by the standing people.

I had long anticipated that we would meet again, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Shen Cao felt a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly began to clean up the empty bowls on the table.

She even forgot to say hello to him.

The main problem was that Shen Cao didn't know how to talk to him, since she had lied to him.

Ji Lingfeng looked at the somewhat flustered person, and his originally dark face cleared up for a moment.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, then quickly fell back down, so fast that almost no one noticed.

But one person still noticed it.

He Yu already knew his master's thoughts about Shen Cao. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and this was their first meeting, so of course he had to keep a close eye on their interactions.

He couldn't tell what Grass Girl's attitude was like.

But he knows his master.

He's like a giant iceberg, completely clueless about how to treat young women.

He had secretly asked him to buy some storybooks before, and every time he went to his master's room, he saw him secretly reading them on the bedside table.

If you switch to a different book every few days, you've probably read almost all of them.

His gaze had been subtly shifting between his master and the girl named Cao'er.

The girl seemed fine, but her master's face, which had been dark, suddenly broke into a smile, which he could clearly see.

Sure enough, his master, that big iceberg, still had to rely on the girl, Grass.

As expected, his master raised his eyes, glanced at them, and said calmly, "Didn't you hear? Miss Cao'er means for you to sit down and eat."

“They stood there like giant stakes, not afraid of scaring people.”

He was right; his master was indeed interested in Miss Shen Cao.

He looked around and saw that no one had discovered the secret. He was even happier, feeling that it was really great to be the only one who knew that no one else knew.

He especially liked Hefei, who kept saying he was stupid, but he thought Hefei was the real idiot.

Look at him now, all he cares about is food, nothing else.

He's called the number one in the Crane Battalion, but it's just an empty title.

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Ji Lingfeng agree to let them sit down.

But they remained cautious, while only He Yu seemed quite relaxed, as Shen Cao seemed to treat him rather well.

He seems to have mastered another survival skill, hahaha.

The others hurriedly ate their food, some even standing up to leave before finishing their meals.

"Master, we've finished eating. Please continue eating!"

No one else dared to linger around Ji Lingfeng; they all quickly finished their food and made an excuse to leave.

Only Tsuruha stayed with him.

He Yu remembered what He Fei and the others had whispered to him when they left, "He Yu, you stay here with Master today."

"Consider it a favor we owe you, and we'll definitely repay you double in the future."

He was overjoyed inside, but outwardly he pretended to be very embarrassed.

"I'll also do your laundry for another month!"

He had no choice but to agree to their request with a mixture of happiness and reluctance.

When Shen Cao came out, only He Yu and Ji Lingfeng remained.

"What, they've all eaten and left?"

He Yu first looked at her master, and seeing that he did not intend to speak, she said to him, "Yes, they have all eaten their fill, and they still have to go and do the things that the master has instructed them to do."

"By the way, Miss Shen, my master hasn't had breakfast yet. Why don't you ask him if there's anything he'd like to eat?"

Shen Cao felt somewhat at a loss, as she felt awkward facing Ji Lingfeng's words.

Because she clearly saw him yesterday, but he ran away.

Although he was the one who disappeared from her sight first.

But she always felt that she wasn't as composed as before when she saw him again.

Perhaps she knew Ji Lingfeng's true identity, or perhaps she felt guilty for lying to him.

However, since they came to her restaurant to eat, she couldn't just ignore them.

She cautiously approached Ji Lingfeng and asked him tentatively, "What would you like to eat, sir?"

Her words stunned everyone present.

Especially Ji Lingfeng, upon hearing her words, his already somewhat dark face turned so gloomy that even He Yu, sitting next to him, felt a chill run down her spine.

"Little Grass, do you have such a bad memory? You've forgotten me so quickly?"

Although he appeared calm on the surface, those who knew him well could tell at a glance that he was extremely angry.
