Chapter 133 Pepper Hill

the next day.

The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and illuminated Xing and Lin Yu's faces. They were originally lying quietly on the grass under a big tree, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Hey! Are you two wanderers? Why are you lying here!" Yun Li's voice appeared in the ears of Lin Yu and Xing. She looked at the two people lying under the big tree and said to them.

Lin Yu opened his eyes in a trance, and was dazzled by the sudden sunlight.

He sat up and subconsciously raised his hand to block the glaring sunlight.

However, at this moment, he felt as if he was holding something in his hand.

He turned his head and was surprised to find that he was still holding Xing's hand. What made him even more embarrassed was that he unconsciously pulled Xing up with him.

Xing was obviously awakened by the sudden movement. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Lin Yu in confusion. The two people's eyes met in the air, and there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere in the air.

Yun Li looked at the two and couldn't help but joked, "Did you two do anything good last night? Why are you still holding hands when you woke up today? And sleeping in a place like this?"

Yunli looked around and saw that she was surrounded by people from the immortal boat and foreigners passing by.

If someone were to come over to them and give them a few dollars as a reward...

That would really make you a wanderer.

Lin Yu and Xing felt embarrassed when they heard this and quickly let go of each other's hands.

Lin Yu touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Xing coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, and then changed the subject: "Ahem... Yunli, what's the matter with you coming to see us so early?"

Hearing this, Yun Li also put away his joking mentality and said seriously: "Oh, by the way, I came to you for something serious. We are going to start a new mission today. You two should hurry up and get ready."

"Mission? What mission? Isn't the magic sword gone?" Lin Yu asked puzzledly.

"Who said there's only one magic sword? There are many!"

"And today's mission is not just to search for the magic sword! It's a very, very important matter!" Yun Li said seriously.

"What is that?" Lin Yu asked curiously.

"Hey, let's talk while walking, walk." Yun Li urged.

Lin Yu and Xing looked at each other and nodded.

After the two of them tidied themselves up, they followed Yun Li to the important thing she had mentioned.

...

After arriving, Lin Yu looked at Yun Li helplessly.

"Is this the important thing you mentioned?" Lin Yu looked at the stall in front of him, and there was a sign of the big eater next to it..

"No, not that one, it's him! Look at him!" Yun Li eagerly pulled Lin Yu's hand and led him to a man next to the stall.

Her fingers were almost touching the tip of the man's nose, pointing with urgency.

Lin Yu looked in the direction of Yun Li, and couldn't help feeling speechless. He really couldn't understand why Yun Li was so excited.

The fox man pointed at by Yun Li was smiling and behaved in a gentle manner. When he saw the two approaching, he politely asked, "How can you two help me?"

Lin Yu looked at him carefully. Although the weather was not hot, the man held an exquisite red feather fan in his hand and fanned it gently to bring a hint of coolness to himself.

The handle of the fan is a deep dark green, which contrasts with the golden ribs, making it look particularly noble. There are exquisite white guardrails on both sides of the fan.

"Are you the Senior Jiaoqiu from Yaoqing?" Yun Li's voice was full of excitement.

"Oh? I didn't expect that there are still people in Luofu who can remember my name. But, I'm not a senior, just an idle person who likes to travel around." Jiaoqiu responded with a smile.

"I am Yunli from Zhuming, the granddaughter of General Huaiyan. Do you still remember me? We have met before!" Yunli explained further.

"General Huai Yan?" Jiao Qiu frowned slightly, as if recalling something, and then looked at Yun Li, "Sorry, it's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't remember." Yun Li smiled gently, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"I heard that you have been living in seclusion, how come you suddenly appear in Luofu?" Yun Li asked curiously.

"I just felt a little bored. When I heard that Luofu was about to hold a ceremony for the Starry Sky Martial Arts Show, I sneaked out to join in the fun, just to kill time." Jiaoqiu explained.

"Senior Jiaoqiu, do you have anything delicious here?" Yun Li's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Jiao Qiu smiled slightly and pointed at the small tripod on the table with his fan: "This is the Jiugong hot pot I just made. If you don't mind, you can enjoy it together."

Yun Li looked at the small tripod without legs and saw that it was divided into nine compartments. Each compartment was filled with boiling red soup and some floating ingredients, and the aroma was overflowing.

Great, Senior Jiaoqiu's cooking skills must be extraordinary!" Yunli excitedly pulled Lin Yu and Xing beside him, "Come on, let's taste Senior Jiaoqiu's masterpiece together."

The three of them sat around the table and began to enjoy this rare feast.

"By the way, Senior Jiaoqiu is a great doctor. If you feel unwell, please let me know." Yunli said to Lin Yu and Xing, "I was also troubled by illness before, and it was Senior Jiaoqiu who helped me recover."

"We are all healthy and have no discomfort," Xing responded.

"Health is the best state." Jiao Qiu said with a smile, "Although we have known each other for a short time, since we have the fate to meet here, we are friends. For friends, I always help them with all my heart."

"Senior Jiaoqiu, your medical skills are so superb, why do you choose to live in seclusion?" Yun Li asked curiously.

Jiao Qiu smiled slightly, put down the fan in his hand, and looked into the distance, as if he was lost in memories: "Medical skills are only a part of my life. What I pursue is a higher realm. I retreat from the world so that I can explore the mysteries of life and the ultimate medical skills more deeply."

"For example, the meal in front of us." Jiao Qiu said with a smile, while gently pointing to the hot pot.

Lin Yu picked up something from the bottom of the pot curiously, and after a closer look, he found that it seemed to be a medicinal herb - ginseng. He raised his head in surprise and looked at Jiaoqiu in confusion.

"Why, are you surprised?" Jiao Qiu said with a smile, "Indeed, medicinal herbs are usually used for decocting medicine or stewing soup, but no one stipulates that they cannot be used in hot pot, right? This is just a small attempt for me."

But because of what happened now...the smile on Jiaoqiu's face...started to become a little creepy.

Seeing this, Yun Li smiled easily and broke the silence: "Look, why are you all so nervous? Senior Jiao Qiu is a senior with superb medical skills. Can he harm himself and us? Let me try this ginseng hot pot." As she said that, she confidently used chopsticks to scoop out a piece of medicinal material from the hot pot that was the same as Lin Yu's, and swallowed it without hesitation.

Seeing this, Jiao Qiu nodded slightly, as if to express his appreciation for Yun Li's bravery.

However, Yun Li's brows furrowed immediately, and her expression instantly turned painful. She covered her throat and uttered a few words with difficulty: "Spicy... so spicy! Water... give me water!"
