Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 1432 I am a monk 4
Fortunately, the stepmother gave birth to three daughters in a row, but no sons.

The last pregnancy damaged the stepmother's health, making it difficult for her to conceive again.

Liu Sui's position as successor is very secure.

As Liu Sui grew older, his control over the Marquis's mansion became stronger and stronger.

Liu Sui did not particularly like her nominal younger brother, Liu An.

He had a feeling that this younger brother wasn't his biological brother.

This younger brother is a fool; he was actually won over by the stepmother and raised to be a spoiled brat.

Liu Sui was annoyed. If only this person really wasn't her younger brother.

That way he won't have to deal with the trouble for this idiot.

Liu Sui's culinary skills were honed to perfection in Xiaozhuangzi, and even the imperial chefs in the palace could not match Liu Sui's culinary skills.

The recipes he studied were all from recipes that didn't exist in this world.

Liu Sui compiled some of the recipes and gave them to the head chef of the restaurant.

The chef prepared fresh and delicious dishes, attracting many people to come.

The restaurant was doing very well, with customers flocking in every day, and it made a lot of money.

Situ Ren's life improved.

"Brother Yun, the dishes here are the most delicious in the capital."

"Really? Then I definitely have to try it."

As the voices were spoken, several scholars entered the restaurant.

They had reserved seats in advance, and the waiter led them up to the second floor.

Liu Sui's gaze swept over the first scholar who spoke, then returned to his own.

Situ Ren also recognized the scholar as Liu Sui's younger brother, Liu An.

Situ Ren: "Aren't you going to say hello?"

Liu Sui: "No need, he doesn't know the restaurant is mine."

Situ Ren: "Your younger brother may not be very knowledgeable, but he has a good eye for people."

Several scholars were engaged in lively discussions, debating poetry and literature.

The young man whom Liu An called Brother Yun immediately composed a poem, which not only stunned several scholars, but also those in the tavern who heard him recite it.

The scholar: "...Drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more; raising a cup to drown sorrow only makes it more sorrowful..."

"Great!" Everyone applauded "Brother Yun" and praised his literary talent.

Situ Ren also clapped, his eyes revealing his appreciation for "Brother Yun".

Situ Ren: "Ah Sui, could you ask your brother to introduce me to that Brother Yun?"

Liu Sui also thought that Brother Yun was very talented and wanted to get to know him, so he led Situ Ren to Liu An's table.

Liu An exclaimed in surprise, "Brother? Duke Anguo? You've come to the restaurant too?"

Liu Sui: "Yes, the food and wine here are delicious."

"Brother Yun" thought to himself: How could it not be delicious? Modernly researched delicacies are definitely better than those from ancient times.

—In his previous life, Liu Sui had read the modern cookbook Liu Dong had given him and memorized the recipes for many modern dishes. Therefore, the restaurant not only offered Mapo Tofu and fried chicken wings, but also Western desserts like cream cakes and ice cream. This led modern time travelers to believe that there were other time travelers in the restaurant as well.

Liu An introduced his friend to Liu Sui and Situ Ren.

The "Brother Yun" whose full name was Yun Fengyao was a scholar from Jiangnan who had come to the capital to take the imperial examination. He was temporarily working as a teaching assistant at the school where Liu An was studying.

The other scholars were all Liu An's classmates.

Situ Ren admired Yun Fengyao and intended to befriend him.

After learning of Situ Ren's identity, Yun Fengyao also intended to befriend him.

The two quickly struck up a conversation.

Occasionally, Liu An would join their conversations.

Liu An and his classmates became mere background figures.

When they parted, Situ Ren was very happy, feeling that he had found a kindred spirit.

Liu Sui was not displeased by Situ Ren's idea.

Although he and Situ Ren were good friends, they both held back. They could only be friends, not confidants.

When Liu Sui and Liu An returned to the Liu family, they heard that the stepmother was going to take the young ladies of the mansion to Yunshan Temple to offer incense the next day, and asked Liu Sui and Liu An if they would go.

Liu Sui originally didn't want to go, but for some reason, a voice in his heart told him that he would regret it if he didn't go.

Liu Sui agreed to go to offer incense together.

Stepmother: "..."

She was just asking politely; she had no intention of asking Liu Sui to go at all.

They would feel uncomfortable if this person went with them.

But the stepmother couldn't stop Liu Sui from going, so she decided to just pretend he didn't exist.

The following day, the group went to Yunshan Temple.

Liu Dong had regained her memory and knew who she had come for.

Of course, he had no intention of reverting to his original identity and returning to the Marquis's mansion.

Although he disliked monks, life in a monastery was far more comfortable than being a young master in a noble household.

In this life, Liu Tong will only recognize Liu Sui as her family.

After offering incense, Liu Sui left the crowd and headed towards a secluded place.

After walking along a small path, Liu Sui arrived at the edge of a bamboo grove.

The bamboo grove was very quiet, and there was no one else around.

Liu Sui stepped inside, and after a while, he saw a stone table and two stone stools. A young monk dressed in a gray robe was sitting on the stone table, placing pieces on the chessboard on the table.

It turned out that he was playing against himself.

Liu Sui stepped forward and got a good look at the chessboard.

The game was extremely ingenious; few people Liu Sui knew possessed such skill.

The monk looked up, saw Liu Sui smile, and extended an invitation to him: "Want to come together?"

"Okay." Liu Sui sat down, picked up the black pieces, and placed them in the spot he had chosen.

The monk held a white chess piece and placed it on a nearby spot.

The two exchanged blows, and the battle was fierce.

In the end, Liu Sui was one move behind and lost to the monk.

"Young master, you are very skilled," Liu Sui praised sincerely.

The monk, Liu Dong, smiled slightly.

"Young Master Liu's skills are also quite good."

Liu Sui was not surprised that the monk recognized him, because he also recognized the monk's identity.

Liao Kong's name was quite well-known in aristocratic circles, but Liu Sui had only heard of him and had never met him.

Upon seeing him, he was indeed as good as his reputation suggested, and the man even gave him a very friendly feeling.

Liu Dong's appearance in this life is unlike either his father or mother. What he resembles is his grandmother in this life, the old lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

However, the old lady passed away when Liu Sui was still young.

Therefore, Liu Sui only felt that Liu Dong was familiar to her, but did not think that he looked familiar.

The two played another game, and this time, Liu Sui won by half a point against Liu Dong.

It was getting late, so the two stopped playing chess and Liu Tong led Liu Sui to dinner.

After the meal, Liu Tong escorted Liu Sui to rest.

Liu Sui's room was arranged by Liu Tong long ago, and it contained a surprise that Liu Tong had prepared.

Liu Sui didn't go to sleep that early, so he simply picked up the Buddhist scriptures that were in his room and started reading.

The contents of one of the Buddhist scriptures captivated Liu Sui; the words seemed to leap from the book and pierce straight into her mind.

Liu Sui unconsciously entered a meditative state according to the above instructions.

Liu Dong revealed himself, smiled, and then vanished in the blink of an eye.
