Seeing Qing Wuluo's news gave You Ruo a headache, and she inexplicably felt like she was being chased by creditors.

You Ruo: [Just leave them hanging.]

Shu Yunzong was entrusted by those who betrayed Jingyou Sect, and coupled with greed, it was ultimately a matter between Shu Yunzong and Jingyou Sect.

Although the Jingyou Sect is not as powerful as before, it has calmed down. Let those people deal with it themselves.

We always need to set a goal for everyone to strive for; having a goal provides motivation.

Qing Wuluo: [Okay, I understand. Remember what I asked for!]

You Ruo: [Okay, I'll talk to you after I've rested.]

Qing Wuluo: [Lazy woman!]

You Ruo: [None of your business.]

Qing Wuluo: [Bad woman!]

You Ruo: [Ah, yes, yes, yes.]

For the nth time, You Ruo made Qing Wuluo so angry that she jumped up and down. With practiced ease, she put away the communication jade slip and let Qing Wuluo ramble on.

You Ruo looked up at the sky in a good mood, lay quietly for a while, then stood up, stretched, walked to the railing, and jumped off the roof.

It landed lightly, without any discomfort or feeling of being shaken.

Passing by Yun Si's room, the doors and windows were still tightly closed, and he was still inside. You Ruo cheekily knocked on the door: "Junior Brother, I'm preparing some food later, do you want to come and help? Senior Brother and the others went to buy groceries, so come and help me out~"

After Yun Si angrily closed the window, he found that he couldn't concentrate on anything. He kept thinking about You Ruo's bright eyes and was sulking with him. He didn't notice that You Ruo had returned. Hearing the sound unexpectedly, he was so frightened that he shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat.

As a result, the already somewhat irritated person became even angrier.

Hearing the culprit's voice, Yun Si remained silent, pretending not to hear.

You Ruo was slightly surprised, but not much, and didn't pay much attention. She continued cheerfully, "If you don't answer, it means you agree. It's settled then, Junior Brother. Come help me later!"

Still no one answered. You Ruo left with a smile and went home to prepare the seasonings.

As for Yun Si, she was certain he would still come; the poor soul who had been homeless wouldn't dare to be willful.

You Ruo opened the doors and windows wide, humming a tune as she busied herself: "I opened the window in the morning, the sunshine is so beautiful~ Watching the butterflies and smelling the flowers, the scenery is so beautiful~ You are watching me from afar, my mood is so beautiful..."

The slightly off-key singing carried clearly to the next room. Yun Si belatedly realized that he might have been a bit presumptuous just now. He was clearly not like that...

Yun Si let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his forehead, and forced himself to calm down.

He didn't like this feeling; it was like something was about to get out of control.

Taking out paper and pen, Yun Si drew talismans while keeping an eye on the activity next door. Only after Hua Xi and the others returned did he put down his pen and go next door.

The three people next door, Hua Xi and Huo Wenyu, returned with a full load of meat. You Ruo couldn't help but rub her forehead as she watched Huo Wenyu take out piece after piece of meat from his storage bag.

"Second Brother, are you sure we're going to eat all this meat tonight?"

Huo Wenyu nodded with a smile: "I hadn't eaten it before, but after I tried it, I really liked it. This meat cost me a lot of spirit stones. I went to many places to buy it."

These were pieces of processed meat. You Ruo looked at them carefully but couldn't recognize what kind of meat they were. She was a little embarrassed: "I've never seen any of these meats before. What if they don't taste good?"

Unappetizing?

Huo Wenyu wasn't worried at all. He patted You Ruo's shoulder with his clean hand and said, "It's okay. The person who sold it to me said that this meat is easy to handle and tastes good no matter how you cook it. I trust your cooking skills, junior sister."

You Ruo: Ha, I don't believe in myself.

Of course, a seller will praise their products; otherwise, how can they sell them?

Sigh, I still believe in Brother Pig, and I believe he wasn't deceived.

Compared to Huo Wenyu, Hua Xi and Song Sheng were much more reliable. They bought both meat and vegetables, and the meat they bought was all common.

But when the groceries were all placed on the table, You Ruo couldn't help but rub her forehead again.

"Senior brothers and sisters, how long can these vegetables be stored in storage bags?"

Hua Xi was taken aback by the question: "Why put it in the storage bag?"

Looking at the dishes that filled the entire table and were even overflowing, You Ruo tentatively asked, "So many... are we going to cook them all tonight?"

Hua Xi nodded, her tone perfectly natural: "Yes, I want to invite everyone over to eat together."

"Okay." Looking at her slender arms, You Ru shrugged and exaggeratedly said, "I hope everyone can have dinner before midnight."

Hua Xi finally understood the reason for You Ruo's previous unusual behavior. She touched her nose embarrassedly, then straightened her back and patted her chest: "Don't worry, junior sister, we won't leave you to do all the work alone."

Huo Wenyu nodded in agreement, while Song Sheng had already started helping to tidy up.

Yun Si, who had watched the commotion from the sidelines, was also tidying up, and his movements were even more efficient than Song Sheng's.

Watching him quickly separate the greens leaf by leaf, picking off the yellow leaves and neatly placing the processed leaves aside, You Ruo imagined a tragic past for him.

Especially compared to the clumsy Hua Xi and Huo Wenyu, Yun Si appeared even more outstanding. Even Song Sheng couldn't help but glance at him several times, asking curiously, "Junior Brother, you look so skilled, you..."

Halfway through her sentence, Song Sheng suddenly remembered Yun Si's background and frowned, somewhat annoyed that she had spoken too quickly.

Yun Si didn't seem to care much, and smiled faintly: "I used to do this kind of work. I was busy all day, and my wages were two meals a day." His tone was very calm, as if he had long since stopped caring.

The person involved remained calm, while the onlookers were furious. You Ruo's face immediately fell: "Working all day, and the pay is only two meals? What kind of place is this? How can they be so stingy? Junior brother, how old were you back then?"

Look how efficient the junior apprentice is! His reward for a busy day is just two meals? What kind of delicacies are these?

"Four years old."

Huo Wenyu was the first to exclaim in surprise: "Four...four years old? You started working at the age of four?"

Yun Si nodded, his expression still indifferent: "I grew up on the charity of many families, so I started helping them when I was very young."

A four-year-old child has limited abilities, and even now, he still feels that those two meals a day were worthwhile.

You Ruo opened her mouth, then closed it again, repeating this several times before finally managing to utter a sentence: "Actually, growing up eating food from many families is pretty cool."

She remembers hearing someone ask someone around her what they were eating when she was little, and the person replied "white stare". She thought it was some kind of delicious dish and was curious for a long time, thinking it was cool. In the end, she found out that it meant eating white rice.
