Chapter 205 This posture... is quite ambiguous.
Bai Yujin heard the noise.
He immediately looked over and saw Bai Junqing entering.
Upon seeing her uncle, she swayed and appeared directly in front of Bai Junqing, staring intently at him. She cut to the chase and asked, "Uncle, tell me, were you injured? Was it because of someone named Cheng Shuyue? Is that right or wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Junqing's body stiffened slightly.
How did Xiao Jin'er find out about this?
He never told Yujin either.
Bai Junqing had a feeling that someone had told her niece this, otherwise, how would Jin'er know? Bai Junqing squinted and looked towards the palace gate, and saw someone trying to escape.
"Ruan Jingze, where do you think you're going? You stop right there!"
Ruan Jingze thought he could leave safely, but unexpectedly, Bai Junqing still saw him. He thought to himself, "This is bad!"
He suddenly pushed open the door and disappeared in a streak of light.
Upon seeing this, Bai Junqing hurriedly said to Bai Yujin, "Jin'er, I'll talk to you about this later. Right now, I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
In the blink of an eye, Bai Junqing's figure disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yujin fell silent instantly.
She sensed something was off between her uncle and Ruan Jingze.
A terrible thought popped into her mind.
Uncle wouldn't...
Bai Yujin shuddered at the thought of that possibility. She quickly shook her head, trying to dispel the absurd idea. Her uncle and Uncle Ruan couldn't possibly have that kind of relationship; she must be overthinking it.
Since everyone had left, she decided to go back inside and wait for them.
Afterwards, Bai Yujin thought for a moment and decided to go to the kitchen to see if there were any ingredients. She wanted to make some breakfast, but she didn't want to skip meals because of some people. The annoying people were already gone, weren't they?
Bai Yujin went straight to the kitchen, only to find it completely empty. There was nothing there...
Could it be that my uncle wasn't prepared?
Where did the food we ate last night come from?
She looked confused.
In fact, the food Bai Junqing brought back was Ruan Jingze's dinner. Ruan Jingze had just finished cooking and hadn't had a chance to eat it yet when Bai Junqing took it back, saying that she would eat it with her niece.
Therefore, Ruan Jingze had no choice but to redo it himself.
Bai Yujin was genuinely unaware of this matter.
Bai Yujin looked helpless. Fine, she'll just take some ingredients from her space, more than she can handle. She'll only need to go out once tonight to get her father's things.
Every extra day she was delayed made her more worried.
We took way too much food.
So what if there are a lot? There's plenty in the store anyway.
Supplies are replenished indefinitely, so there's no fear of them running out.
Bai Yujin used a small spell to make the ingredients arrange themselves. After they were arranged, Bai Yujin went to the stove and moved her fingers slightly. A stream of water flowed into the iron pot, and she stopped after it was about half full.
Next, Bai Yujin squatted down, picked up a branch from the ground, skillfully broke it to the appropriate length, and then, with a gentle wave of her right hand, the branch burst into a fiery red flame. She carefully placed the branch into the bottom of the pot to burn.
After standing up, Bai Yujin took a deep breath.
She took out five bags of three-ingredient dumplings from her spatial storage, which should be enough. After waiting for the water to boil, she decisively tore open the packaging and poured the dumplings into the pot.
The technique is skillful and the movements are swift.
Watching the dumplings tumbling in the pot, she waited for the water to boil once, then added cold water to the pot with a ladle, and let it boil again. After doing this twice more, the three-ingredient dumplings were cooked.
Bai Yujin quickly picked up a strainer and carefully scooped out the dumplings one by one, placing them into five large plates of empty bowls. She then took out soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil from her spatial storage, prepared the seasonings, and waited for her uncle to return.
It was at this moment that Bai Junqing returned.
They then seized the opportunity to bring someone back.
Upon hearing the commotion, Bai Yujin immediately went to the kitchen door, leaned out to look, and saw the person being held by Bai Junqing. Wasn't that Ruan Jingze?
What's going on here? Uncle actually grabbed him back in this way. Could it be that Ruan Jingze did something to Uncle? Bai Yujin was quite curious.
He then asked Bai Junqing, who was about to leave.
"Uncle, what's going on between you and him? Could it be..."
Before she could finish speaking, she looked at the two of them with a meaningful gaze.
Bai Junqing thought she had gone back to her room to rest or to cultivate, but he didn't expect Jin'er to be in the kitchen. He hadn't had time to prepare anything yet, and obviously, he hadn't noticed that the position between him and Ruan Jingze was a bit strange, which made people's imaginations run wild.
Ruan Jingze felt even more embarrassed upon hearing Bai Yujin's voice.
He simply turned his head away, refusing to look at Bai Yujin.
He was afraid that Bai Yujin would notice something.
Bai Junqing coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. Alright, you should go now. I won't trouble you any further."
Seeing the intense gaze his niece was giving him, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jin'er had misunderstood the relationship between him and Ruan Jingze? The thought struck him.
Bai Junqing quickly threw Ruan Jingze to the ground and rushed to Bai Yujin's side, explaining urgently, "Little Jin'er, don't overthink it. There's nothing between us. I just needed to talk to him about something. As for a Daoist partner, I don't want to find one at all. Even if I did, it wouldn't make a difference, because the emotional ties on my body have already been burned away by the Heavenly Fire."
Only a year later, he specifically sought help from his master.
Love? He no longer needs it.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yujin's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Bai Junqing, her eyes full of inquiry: "Uncle, is what you're saying true? Your love threads were burned by the heavenly fire? Does that mean you…?"
Bai Junqing nodded, his expression calm: "This was something I specifically asked my master to do to burn away the love threads. I felt that love was useless to me, so..."
Bai Yujin remained silent after hearing this.
Slowly digesting this astonishing news.
"Then Uncle Ruan..."
Bai Yujin asked tentatively, while observing the expression on Ruan Jingze's face.
Ruan Jingze quickly waved his hand, a sheepish smile on his face: "No, no, no, don't think nonsense, stop fantasizing. I just accidentally took your uncle's things a few days ago."
Bai Junqing quickly chimed in, "Yes, Jin'er, please don't misunderstand. My relationship with him is completely innocent, it's just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yujin interrupted him: "Oh, is that so? Then we can talk about your things later. Let's go eat now. I specially cooked dumplings and am waiting for you to come back for dinner."
As she spoke, Bai Yujin walked into the kitchen.
She also needed to quickly take the dumplings to the other side of the living room where they were eating.
"Come help me serve the dumplings, hurry up."
