Wen Zhicheng watched Shen Tianxing walk towards the door, his mouth opened as if he wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he chose silence and just watched helplessly as Shen Tianxing left, letting out a heavy sigh.
What Shen Tianxing said just now wasn’t wrong; she indeed didn’t need Wen Zhicheng’s tip to find the person called "Huan Zhen" from the Evil Dao.
The mont she saw Wen Zhicheng, she had activated her Heavenly Eye.
Wen Zhicheng’s life flashed through her mind like a passing glance of flowers on horseback.
Naturally, she also saw the scene where Wen Zhicheng had spent a large sum of money to find Huan Zhen of the Evil Dao for a transaction, through layers of connections.
Upon leaving the Taoyuan Hotel’s main entrance, Shen Tianxing took out her phone and dialed Huan Zhen’s mobile number directly.
As she expected, the mobile number Huan Zhen used to contact Wen Zhicheng had already beco a disconnected number.
She guessed that Huan Zhen must have fled Suzhou in a hurry after suffering backlash from her breaking his formation, finding a place to hide.
Looking at the western slanting sky, Shen Tianxing calculated and found that Huan Zhen was very far from her current location; it seed today she wouldn’t be able to catch Huan Zhen.
Although Shen Tianxing was eager to bring justice, she was not willing to let these matters disrupt her own life.
She temporarily set this issue aside, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for her ho in Jinxiu Garden.
Once at ho, Shen Tianxing took out her phone again, first calling Jiang Hua.
"Jiang Hua, I’ve found your uncle, he is now in the late stages of liver cancer, with at most a month to live. He told that now the old man is gone, he won’t make a move against you guys anymore. What are your thoughts now? Do you still want to pursue this?"
"Tianxing, thank you for being so busy and running around for my family’s sake. I will ask my dad to see what he thinks, and I’ll call you back. Where are you right now?"
Jiang Hua spoke in a low, hoarse voice, clearly in a bad mood.
Shen Tianxing completely understood that anyone facing the death of a loved one would not feel good.
Shen Tianxing replied, "I’ve just gotten back ho. You need to grieve properly and take care. If there’s anything else you need my help with, just let know, okay?"
Feeling the care and support from Shen Tianxing, Jiang Hua’s eyes ward, chokingly saying, "Mm, thank you, really, thank you so much."
Shen Tianxing sighed softly within her heart. The sadness and grief of a family mber’s passing are destined to be irreplaceable, "Is that all for now?"
Jiang Hua replied succinctly, "Yes, that’s all for now. By the way, Tianxing, could you ask the horoom teacher for a week off for tomorrow? I’ll return to school after a week."
Shen Tianxing softly affird, "Sure, I’ll ask for the leave for you, don’t worry!"
"Thank you."
"No need to thank , goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up with Jiang Hua, Shen Tianxing put away her phone, and grabbed so clothes, heading to the bathroom to wash her hair and to shower.
Feeling refreshed and clean, Shen Tianxing realized she was hungry.
She teleported straight into the space and found Dugu Zixi wearing an apron, busily following a recipe in the kitchen within the space.
On the side table, there were several dishes already prepared, with color combinations that were quite nice, making Shen Tianxing quite expectant of their flavor.
Seeing Shen Tianxing enter, Dugu Zixi’s handso face lifted with a faint smile, "Little Xingxing, you’re back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Shen Tianxing replied with a smile, "I just washed them, I’ll take the bowls and chopsticks out."
After picking up the bowls and chopsticks, Shen Tianxing also carried out his pine nut mandarin fish, stir-fried rabbit at with green peppers, and drunken shrimp with Huadiao wine.
Slling the rich and tempting aroma of the dishes, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but pick up his chopsticks and sneak a bite of the rabbit at.
Feeling the explosive blend of crispy, numbing, spicy, and fragrant flavors in his mouth, Shen Tianxing’s eyes lit up.
He really didn’t expect that when his Xixi put her mind to it, her cooking skills could rival those of a top chef! Impressive! Impressive!
After taking a bite, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but go for another chopstick full, and then another bite.
When Dugu Zixi ca out with the beer duck, seeing Shen Tianxing sneaking tastes brought a burst of joy to his heart.
It seed that his thod of pleasing her had won her over. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to spend his ti other than cultivating by making her all sorts of delicious food.
Shen Tianxing was enjoying his food when he sensed Dugu Zixi coming out.
With no ti to wipe his mouth clean, Shen Tianxing could only show Dugu Zixi a sheepish, silly smile, "Little Xixi, the dishes you made are so delicious! Is this really your first ti cooking?"
Dugu Zixi looked at her with a gentle smile, "Of course it’s my first ti."
He then leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "I want to give you all of my ’first tis.’
As Shen Tianxing heard Dugu Zixi stress the words "first ti," her thoughts took a suggestive turn!
Her cheeks went red in an instant!
Ah, since when had her master beco so good at flirting?
She felt like she couldn’t hold back anymore, what should she do?
Dugu Zixi saw Shen Tianxing’s flushed face and a tipsy smile flickered in his bright eyes.
But he cleverly didn’t expose her thoughts, simply pulling out her chair naturally, "Xingxing, sit and eat."
Feeling sowhat embarrassed, Shen Tianxing glanced at him. Seeing that Dugu Zixi wasn’t fixating on her or teasing her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
During the al, Dugu Zixi didn’t stop serving her more food, even peeling the drunken shrimp and bringing it straight to her mouth.
By the end of the al, Shen Tianxing could hardly tell if it was the wine aroma from the drunken shrimp that had intoxicated her or her master’s tenderness. She just felt her eyes were dazzled and her head was starting to spin.
Dugu Zixi gently wiped her mouth clean, and seeing her face all flushed and her eyes hazy, looking like she couldn’t even stand straight, he quickly picked her up horizontally.
Shen Tianxing wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured lowly, "Master, I’m not dreaming, am I?"
Dugu Zixi answered, "No!"
Shen Tianxing chuckled happily, "It’s not a dream? That’s so good! Master, do you know? I dreamt of a day like this, where you would hold , kiss , and then, love fiercely..."
As Dugu Zixi heard her tenderly utter the words "love fiercely," he felt his brain explode. His body ignited as if soone had sparked a fla, burning fiercely within him.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he carefully laid Shen Tianxing on the bed.
Just as he was about to remove her hands and pull up the quilt to cover her, Shen Tianxing suddenly pulled him down.
His lips, landed perfectly on hers...
