Just when Xiao Yan was hesitating, Lu Qiong took the initiative to speak.

Lu Qiong took a deep breath, with deep sadness in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Sister is dead, right?"

? !!

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and Lu Qiong continued.

"If you and Sister Xiao Yixian were really asked by my sister to take care of us, there is no need to go to this extent."

"Rent us a house, help us open a restaurant, and teach us knowledge."

"Sister, I don't think you know someone like this."

To be more precise, it is impossible to know such a person.

Who is Lu Yao?

He can be found everywhere in the Black Horn Region, the lowest of the low, a thief that no one would care about if he died.

How could such a person possibly know Xiao Yan, who spent money and time to help these children without asking for anything in return?

Xiao Yan lowered his head, his hair covering his eyes.

"When did you notice it?"

"Maybe, I felt it from the beginning." Lu Qiong whispered, "My sister always told me that if she didn't come back one day, I should use the money she left behind to find a way to keep Xiaojing alive."

"My sister should have felt it a long time ago."

After Lu Qiong finished speaking, there was no more sound, and Xiao Yan didn't know what to say.

After a long moment, I could only whisper.

"I'm sorry, I kept it from you all until now."

"Hmm." Lu Qiong shook her head slightly, "If it weren't for Brother Xiao Yan and Sister Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jing and I would have died long ago."

"I don't know how you and my sister met, Brother Xiao Yan, but thank you so much for taking care of me over the past month."

Lu Qiong bowed her head deeply towards Xiao Yan.

"All I can do in return is to say thank you."

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Qiong who bowed her head to thank him, and his heart couldn't help but palpitate. He reached out and gently ruffled Lu Qiong's hair.

"That's enough." Xiao Yan said softly with a gentle look in his eyes: "When I come back from the auction tomorrow, I'll take you to see Lu Yao. There's no words engraved on her tombstone."

".Um."

Lu Qiong nodded slightly, Xiao Yan smiled and stood up.

"Cheer up, your sister definitely doesn't want to see you looking so sad. You still have to eat the meal your sister Qing'er is cooking for you later~"

"Forehead!"

Xiao Yan's words made Lu Qiong's face instantly ugly.

Although he was not the one who taught Feng Qing'er how to cook, he was someone who often went in and out of the kitchen. Apart from Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian and Wen Xing, Lu Qiong was the person who knew best how bad Feng Qing'er's cooking was.

After a while, it was dinner time. The children sat at the table, watching Feng Qing'er bring out the dishes one after another. Xiao Yan also glanced at the appearance of the dishes.

Well. At least, it looks okay.

As soon as Xiao Yan thought this, Xiao Wei's figure immediately appeared in his mind.

Wait, could it be that Feng Qing'er's cooking skills have improved to the same level as her sister's?

The dishes look delicious, but they are actually deadly!

Just when Xiao Yan was sweating profusely, Feng Qing'er, who had already brought all the dishes, put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest proudly.

"Eat! I guarantee on my reputation that today's food is absolutely fine!"

Feng Qing'er's confident look can really make people feel at ease.

But don’t forget that when Feng Qing’er first started cooking, she was equally confident.

"Let me try it first."

Xiao Yan picked up the chopsticks with trembling fingers and reached for the dish in front of him.

There are some things that you can't just let children eat. There has to be someone to test the poison, right?

Then Xiao Yan picked up a piece of fried potato shreds with chopsticks, stared at it for a long time, and then closed his eyes and resolutely stuffed it into his mouth.

Well? !

Xiao Yan opened his eyes with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Tastes normal?

Edible!!!

Xiao Yan then tried several other dishes one by one, and the results were the same: although the taste was not as good as Wen Xing's, there was indeed no problem with them.

The Little Medical Fairy at the side looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Yan, how is it?"

"no problem!"

Xiao Yan grinned and gave a thumbs up. The Little Medical Fairy finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Feng Qing'er.

"It wasn't easy, but at least the one month I spent was not in vain."

"Of course! I'm a genius!"

Feng Qing'er raised her head proudly. She had never been so inflated even when she was praised by many people for her rapid cultivation!

However, before Feng Qing'er could feel proud for long, an inopportune voice came into her ears.

"It's just this time. My cooking skills are erratic. It may be okay this time, but it may not be the same next time."

This sentence instantly made Feng Qing'er's good mood disappear, and without thinking, she looked at Wen Xing angrily.

Except Wen Xing, no one could say such words to her in such an occasion!

"Will you die if you praise me?!"

"I'm trying not to make you too proud!"

Wen Xing responded with confidence. As the teacher who had taught Feng Qing'er how to cook for the past half month, Wen Xing knew Feng Qing'er's cooking skills very well.

The food I cook today may be normal, but who knows what might go wrong tomorrow!

"you!!!"

Feng Qing'er was furious and was about to say something, but seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Xiao Yan immediately stood up and held Feng Qing'er's shoulders.

"Today is the last day, both of you just have to be patient!"

"Humph!"

Feng Qing'er and Wen Xing both turned their heads away. The Little Medical Fairy looked helplessly at Feng Qing'er who was angry with the child, and then clapped her hands.

"Okay, everyone, let's start eating~"

"I'm starting~~~"

After dinner, when Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan were clearing the dishes, the children gathered around Feng Qing'er, calling out to her in a soft voice.

"Sister Qing'er."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Feng Qing'er bent down slightly and looked at the children surrounding her. Liu Yiyi, who was standing in the front row, asked in a low voice.

"Sister Qing'er, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Well, Xiao Yan and I have agreed to stay until the end of this month. I will leave the Black Horn Region after I finish my work tomorrow."

Hearing Feng Qing'er's words, the children showed reluctance in their eyes.

Although Feng Qing'er is not as gentle as Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan, the children can all feel that Feng Qing'er is not a bad person.

Even though Feng Qing'er looked very unhappy every time Xiao Yan asked her to take care of them, she still tried her best to accompany them.

Children are very innocent, but precisely because of their innocence, they can more deeply understand Feng Qing'er's cold words but warm heart.

"Then will Sister Qing'er come back to see us in the future?"

"Huh? Where do I get that much time?"

Feng Qing'er had just said half of her words when her eyes met the children's hopeful gazes, causing her voice to suddenly become stuck in her throat.

Then, he curled his lips slightly.

"If I have some free time in the future, I'll come and take a look."

Feng Qing'er's answer instantly won cheers from the children.

Looking at the children in front of her who were genuinely happy about her answers, Feng Qing'er's brows twitched in displeasure.

I just said that if you have free time, you can come, but I didn't say you must come.

However, Feng Qing'er did not say these words out loud.

Humph. Never mind. If I come to the Black Horn Region again, it won’t hurt to come and see them.

Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er's mouth corners unconsciously raised slightly.

Although he was doing this to repay a favor, he suppressed his temper and stayed here for a month.

But now Feng Qing'er sincerely feels that this period of time is worth remembering.

In Medicine City, inside the exclusive hall of the Medicine Emperor.

Han Feng, wrapped in a black cloak, leaned on a broken stone chair. His light golden pupils looked a little dull, and he was still thinking about Xiao Yan.

She had a strong premonition that the two people she had bribed had been exposed, and the Soul Palace was likely to find her soon.

The worst case scenario is that old man Mu Gu comes to the door in person.

During this period, would Xiao Yan take the initiative to come to find me? What if he didn't come to find me?

Should he look for the next person? Or should he find a way to force Xiao Yan to come over and let him take over the task?

No. No.

That matter must not be forced upon him, he must take it on voluntarily.

Han Feng knew very well that Xiao Yan had to be willing to do this kind of thing. Even if he used force or other methods to force Xiao Yan to accept it, it would be meaningless.

Once he died, no one would be able to keep an eye on him except Xiao Yan himself.

In other words, Han Feng had to find a way to force Xiao Yan to take on this matter, but he had to be willing to do so.

These two factors are fundamentally contradictory.

However, if Xiao Yan takes the initiative to ask to take over, then there will be no problem.

But the question is, how to get him to take the initiative to do this?

Han Feng had been thinking about this issue long before today.

However, Han Feng never came up with an answer.

To entrust something to someone is like ordering someone to die for another unrelated person. Even if you offer a lot of compensation, they may give up at any time if there is no one to supervise them.

Therefore, all Han Feng can hope for now is that Xiao Yan will take the initiative to find him and take the initiative to do the things he wants to entrust to him.

This hope is quite slim.

Han Feng frowned tightly. If Xiao Yan really didn't want to accept his entrustment, then he would have no choice but to contact that person.

But Han Feng really doesn't want to contact that person.

Once you contact that person, everything you have done so far will be in vain.

In her mind, I must be a villain, a traitor who sincerely stabs her in the back.

Otherwise, it's meaningless.

But no matter how much Han Feng thought about it or how carefully she planned, there were always some things that were beyond her control.

I have done everything I can, and the rest is up to fate.
