Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

The next morning.

Jingran slowly opened her eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment, then closed them again. She turned over, intending to continue sleeping, but then smelled a fragrance.

Jingran sat up instantly. It smells so good! This seems to be peach blossom pastry!

Jingran got out of bed and dressed. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jingshu and Jingyou carrying two food boxes into the pavilion.

The moment Jing Ran opened the door, Jing Shu looked over and saw the slight gleam in Jing Ran's eyes. Jing Shu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Aran, you woke up at just the right time. I saw there was a small kitchen nearby that I could use, so I asked Xiaoyou to buy some things and make breakfast and peach blossom pastries. Come and have a taste!"

"Ah."

Jing Ran walked over and watched as Jing Shu and Jing You took out the contents of the food box one by one.

Soup dumplings, fried sugar cakes, beef potstickers, steamed shrimp dumplings, snow fungus and pear soup, and of course, his favorite peach blossom pastry.

After the three of them sat down, Jingyou was the first to pick up a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) and put it in his mouth.

too delicious!

Jingyou was very grateful to Immortal Venerable Hanluo. If it weren't for Immortal Venerable Hanluo, his brother wouldn't have asked him to buy so many ingredients yesterday and then get up before dawn today to start preparing the meal.

He only knew that his brother was good at grilled fish, but now he knows that his brother is good at everything he makes!

Regardless of appearance, just considering his cooking skills alone, how many girls would fall in love with his brother? It's a pity, though, that his brother already had someone he loved.

Jingran immediately picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry and put it in her mouth to savor it slowly.

Jingran has always loved peach blossom pastries, but for some reason, none of the ones he's ever had quite lived up to his expectations. Later, Jingran came to Huacheng, initially just for the peach blossom pastries there. But even though Huacheng is famous for its various pastries, he could never find the best peach blossom pastry.

Even though the pastry chef used excellent ingredients, had very skillful cooking techniques, and the taste was quite good, Jingran still felt that something was missing.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was missing. It wasn't until he tasted Jing Shu's peach blossom pastries that Jing Ran knew he had finally found the peach blossom pastries he had longed for!

After finishing the peach blossom pastry, Jingran looked up and asked Jingshu.

"Did you add anything special to this?"

Jing Shu had already served Jing Ran a bowl of white fungus and pear soup and placed it in front of Jing Ran's table.

"A little bit of green fruit from the spiritual food was added, so the taste is sweeter than ordinary peach blossom pastry. The green fruit added can also help cleanse the body of impurities."

This was specially made by Jing Shu for his master.

Compared to spiritual food, Master preferred ordinary mortal meals, so Jing Shu took advantage of the green fruit's ability to cleanse impurities and added it to Master's daily pastries. This way, Master no longer needed to take cleansing pills.

Hearing what Jing Shu said, Jing You curiously picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry and put it in his mouth.

"It's so sweet! Bro, aren't green plums supposed to be sour? How can adding green plums make it sweeter?"

Jingyou knew about green plums; although they weren't expensive, they were extremely sour, and almost no one wanted to eat them. Jingyou had tried eating one before, but as soon as he bit into it, he threw it away.

"Didn't you watch me cook?" Jing Shu glanced at Jing You and asked suspiciously.

Jingyou scratched his head, "I was only focused on adding firewood to the fire..."

Jingyou was very nervous when he helped start the fire for the first time, fearing that the fire would be too big or too small and make the food his brother cooked taste bad.

Jing Ran looked at Jing Shu with curiosity, also wanting to know why.

"It's salt." Seeing that Jing Ran was also very curious, Jing Shu explained, "The green plums will become sweet after being soaked in salt water."

"Alright, let's eat, it'll get cold soon."

To ensure Jingran didn't just eat peach blossom pastries, Jingshu added a little of each of the other breakfast items to Jingran's bowl.

Jingran glanced at Jingshu, said nothing, and obediently ate all the food Jingshu had put on his plate.

Seeing the two of them acting as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, Jingyou silently sped up his cooking. It was so inappropriate for him to stay here.

Soon, Jingyou put down his chopsticks and bowl, saying, "I'm full, you can continue."

After saying that, Jingyou ran out, not forgetting to take two more xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) with him before leaving.

After Jingyou left, Jingran finally spoke up and asked the question that had been bothering her, "Why did you make peach blossom pastries?"

“I know you like sweet and sour pork ribs and have a sweet tooth, so after thinking about it, I made this. Do you like it?” Jing Shu asked.

"Mm." Jing Ran nodded.

Actually, Jingran didn't want to ask that. He had eaten peach blossom pastries from many different places, but none of them were the peach blossom pastries he wanted to eat, or rather, the ones from his forgotten memories.

But Jing Shu deliberately made peach blossom pastries, the kind he wanted to eat. For a moment, Jing Ran even wanted to ask Jing Shu if they had known each other before.

But Jingran didn't ask in the end. He thought that if he really knew him, Jingshu should have called him by his original name the moment they met, instead of acting like he had just met him.

Jing Ran could see the initial unfamiliarity and wariness in Jing Shu's eyes. It wasn't until they entered the private school that the wariness disappeared, and they truly became friends. After that...

"Ran, what's wrong?" Jing Shu asked with concern, noticing Jing Ran's absent-minded appearance.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about tonight."

Jingran lowered her eyes and stirred the pear in her bowl. She decided not to tell Jingshu about her amnesia, so as not to worry him.

Besides, the sword spirit has already awakened once, so its next awakening shouldn't be far off. Then it will learn the truth about its amnesia. It's not too late to talk about it then.

"Oh, this?" Jing Shu had no doubts; it was only natural for his master to be thinking about evil cultivators.

"Don't worry, Aran. With Xue Niang here, nothing will go wrong."

Jing Shu put down his chopsticks and looked at Jing Ran seriously. "Aran only needs to guard the weak points in the north. As for the rest, Xue Niang will take care of them. If all else fails, I will take care of them. I will definitely protect Huacheng."

Jing Shu then smiled and said, "This is also the time to verify the results of my experience over the past few years."

Jingran sensed a hidden meaning in Jingshu's words, but in the end, he only said "okay".

After finishing their meal, Jing Shu tidied up briefly, and then Xue Niang and Lin Yu Rou arrived.

The four of them discussed the details of guarding the seal tonight.

"Tonight at Hai hour (9-11 PM) is when the seal is at its weakest, and they will definitely launch a surprise attack at that time. The reinforcements sent by the sect are still on their way, but they have already received the news and are rushing there. Before they arrive, we need to guard our respective weak points and not escape. Do you understand, everyone?" Xue Niang said seriously, abandoning her usual carefree style.
