Xingxuan looked at him and asked.

Yu Chen blinked, looking at her innocently, "Does knowing how to grill meat count? The kind that's grilled over a fire... My old friends who've tried it all say it's delicious!"

"Hmm... I can learn it if I have the chance. The Grand Diviner often forgets to eat, so it would be much more convenient to have it done here."

Xingxuan paused for a moment, then chose to ignore what he had just said and offered a suggestion.

"Cook for her?" Yu Chen raised an eyebrow, arms crossed. He didn't want to just make do with whatever was available on the battlefield.

Did they specifically learn to cook so they could feed Fu Xuan?

He's a dignified sword saint?

Hmph, even a diviner doesn't have that much influence!

Even that old bastard Jing Yuan doesn't get this kind of treatment!

He simply nodded, neither agreeing nor denying.

Xingxuan shook her head and didn't insist.

"That's about it for the introduction, I'll get back to my work now..."

"Yes, may Xingxuan rest in peace."

Yu Chen waved his hand nonchalantly.

However, the girl remained where she was, looking somewhat embarrassed, and did not leave immediately.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is there anything else I haven't mentioned?"

Xingxuan's face was inexplicably flushed, and her eyes were somewhat watery, with an inexplicable light flowing within them.

A girlish shyness appeared on this 'older sister'.

She stretched out her slender, white fingers, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pursed her pink lips, and glanced at Yu Chen with sparkling eyes.

This expression left Yu Chen somewhat stunned.

Wait, what's with that look that's like she's about to confess her feelings?

Is he really that charming?

"Well, um... Yu Chen, you and the General are quite familiar with each other, aren't you?"

call…

Yu Chen breathed a huge sigh of relief, almost thinking something really bad was about to happen.

Although Xingxuan is quite pretty, he prefers girls who are younger and more youthful...

For some reason, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind when he thought of this.

The scene at the General's Mansion where he hugged Fu Xuan...

"Um... Jingyuan, you probably don't have any plans to date... like me, you're planning to stay single forever."

Yu Chen spoke very directly and without any pretense.

"No, it's not the General..."

Yes…

Oh well, let's talk about it later!

She seemed too shy to bear it, like a young girl whose crush had been exposed in public, she twisted her body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"If it's not Jingyuan, then who else could it be?" Yu Chen stood there, stroking his chin in thought. Then, he suddenly remembered the scene at the General's Mansion that day, and it all became clear.

"Oh~ This guy actually wants to date a young girl!"

The image of the young swordsman appeared in his mind.

"Interesting~" Yu Chen chuckled, finding it quite amusing. He hummed a lighthearted tune as he strolled to the tea room.

He was going to tell the Grand Diviner that her capable assistant seemed to have someone he liked.

"Hmm... what did she just say about how to make it?"

Yu Chen stared at the tea set in front of him, lost in thought. After a long silence, he stroked his chin and murmured to himself, "Anyway, it's just water and tea leaves mixed together...you can't taste the difference, right?"

He casually grabbed some tea leaves, not caring how much, and threw them all into the teapot. Then he filled it with hot water, covered it, and strolled happily toward Fu Xuan with the tray in his hand.

"Lord Fu Xuan~ Your humble servant is back~"

Yu Chen, in a high-pitched voice, called out in a strange, emphasizing tone from outside the door, then knocked on the door and pushed it open before going inside.

Fu Xuan looked up and glanced at him, feeling inexplicably annoyed at his smiling expression.

Why does this guy suddenly seem so annoying?

Unfortunately, I can't beat him...

Her little feet dangled under the table, then her two white-stockinged feet shifted position and overlapped.

"If you keep yelling that ghostly voice, I'll dock your pay!"

Yu Chen's expression suddenly froze. He pouted and, looking a little aggrieved, brought the tea to her.

I was just trying to tease her, and now they're going to deduct my pay again...

That's all this guy ever uses to threaten him!

This is too much to handle!

"Hmph, I was going to tell you a little secret about Xingxuan, but it seems I won't!"

He shook his head violently, stomped his foot on the ground, and turned around.

He acted like he wouldn't tell you unless you coaxed him, like a child throwing a tantrum.

Fu Xuan looked at him, speechless, and picked up the teacup to blow on it.

This guy is at least the same age as Jing Yuan, while that general is over eight hundred years old...

Imagine what it would be like to see a nearly 1,000-year-old man acting like a child in front of you.

"Tell me, what happened to Xingxuan?"

Although he didn't really want to talk to him, Fu Xuan was indeed intrigued by what he said.

Xingxuan's Little Secret?

How did he know?

Yu Chen turned around, glanced at her, snorted coldly, and looked away again.

That cold, stern face—if you ignored why he wore that expression, it was actually quite…

nice…

Fu Xuan quickly shook his head, denying the thought that had just crossed his mind.

nice?

What a load of rubbish! He's just a childish kid.

"Then what do you want in return for telling me?"

Fu Xuan, holding the cup, glanced at him and asked.

The Sword Saint raised his face arrogantly and said, "Beg me!"

"Heh..." The Grand Diviner sneered, too lazy to pay him any attention.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and the steaming tea was still not ready to be drunk.

Fu Xuan's tongue is very similar to a cat's tongue; she can't taste anything too hot. However, she loves drinking tea, and she always has to let it cool down for a long time until it's just right before she can taste it.

After blowing on it for a while, she put the tea down again, glancing at Yu Chen almost imperceptibly.

Just then, he caught Yu Chen's furtive glance. He paused for a moment, realizing he'd been caught, before quickly turning his head away and snorting.

He had an attitude of "I'm not going to talk to you."

So...this person is really childish~

Fu Xuan was speechless.

The two stared at each other coldly for a long time before Fu Xuan finally succumbed to his intense curiosity.

She glanced at Yu Chen, sighed, her face fell, and she said awkwardly, "Please...please tell me..."

Waaah!

How embarrassing!

Fu Xuan's face turned incredibly red as she finished speaking. She had never begged anyone like this before in her entire life!

"Hmph~ That's pretty much it."

Yu Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile. He happily hopped over to the table in front of Fu Xuan and leaned against it.

The blushing Lord Fu Xuan frowned slightly, but did not say anything for the time being.
