Half an hour later.
Just as Lin Huaian was holding a book of mental cultivation principles and reading some random things, a crane flew in from outside the window carrying a wicker basket.
Upon opening the layer of white cloth, the style of the food inside immediately surprised Lin Huaian.
What caught his eye first was a dish of Dian Tea Shrimp, the shrimp white as snow, with a jade-like color.
The alluring fragrance of the tea was refreshing.
After taking that out, the second dish was Court-Style Steamed Fish Maw, the fish maw white and tender, with a fragrant and overflowing broth.
Not to mention the Crispy Chicken Chunks and Salt-Baked Sea Crab.
Only after Lin Huaian took them out one by one did he discover that at the bottom were two bowls of white rice.
This white rice was no ordinary rice, each grain was round and full, with heat rising from the magical insulation, making it look very appetizing.
Lin Huaian could tell that this was the highest grade of rice from the northern region of the dynasty, the kind generally used in the imperial court.
Lin Huaian usually ate this kind of thing in his family.
He smoothed the crane’s long feathers, and the latter comfortably squinted its eyes.
Just then, Lin Huaian took out a note from an inconspicuous corner of the wicker basket.
He carefully read it, and for a moment he had the urge to make intimate contact with Immortal Ji Xin again.
You want me to work after eating your meal?
Ji Xin, are you even human?!
Lin Huaian almost stuffed all the food back into the wicker basket on the spot and had the crane send it to the Purple Forbidden Pavilion and dump it directly on Ji Xin’s head.
But a light sound of footsteps came, Lin Huaian was stunned for a moment, and saw Su Yuan, her eyes hazy, supporting herself on the door frame with both hands, looking inside sideways.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Su Yuan quickly wiped her saliva and tried her best to stand up straight, but in the end, she couldn’t help but have a bit of glistening saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth again.
“G-greetings, Eldest Brother…” Su Yuan struggled to say.
Only then did Lin Huaian remember that the guest room was only a corridor away from his main hall, and Su Yuan had come over under the instinctive control of the fragrance.
“Alas,” Lin Huaian sighed, “so be it.”
“Eh, so be it what?” Su Yuan suddenly woke up, and quickly apologized, saying,
“I’m sorry, Eldest Brother, I’ve lost my composure too much, I’ll, I’ll go back to reflect on my mistakes…”
Just as she felt a pang in her nose and turned around, Lin Huaian reached out and grabbed the girl’s collar: “Come back.”
“Eh?” Su Yuan looked at him with red eyes.
“Ji Xin said that after this meal, I have to go to the Purple Forbidden Pavilion to hold a Dao discussion conference in two days, and I alone will preach to the entire Tianming Sect inner sect,
” Lin Huaian let go of his hand and began to write a reply with pen and paper, “Although it’s a bit of trouble, let’s agree.”
“Eh…” Su Yuan gently wiped her tears with her sleeve, “Did I cause trouble for Senior Brother?”
“Trouble will come on its own, what does it have to do with you, little girl,” Lin Huaian reached out and gently rubbed Su Yuan’s head, his tone also softening, “Sit down and eat obediently.”
Su Yuan’s pretty face was flushed by Lin Huaian, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but think that Eldest Brother was indeed Eldest Brother.
His understanding of Dao Dharma was so strong that he was valued by Ji Xin to such an extent that he even wanted him to preach to the entire inner sect.
What was the inner sect?
Unlike the mixed outer sect, the inner sect was a gathering place for geniuses!
To be able to preach to these geniuses, Eldest Brother Lin Huaian was indeed a peerless genius!
After Su Yuan sat down, Lin Huaian also slowly sat opposite her at the table.
His face seemed indifferent, but in his heart, he had already cursed Immortal Ji Xin all over.
I know jack about preaching!
I’m just a useless person, I can’t even use my flying sword when walking now, aren’t you harming people!
Lin Huaian slightly supported his forehead.
Although he said that, he also knew that this preaching conference was definitely unavoidable.
He might as well try to fool around as much as possible.
He should just go to the treasure pavilion to find some information later, so that he could deal with any tricky disciples after the nonsense.
Just as he was thinking this, Su Yuan’s eating appearance gradually attracted his attention.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuan did not gobble it down.
This girl was used to eating wild vegetables and dregs, and she was not messy in the face of these delicacies.
She swallowed in small bites, holding the chicken nuggets in both hands, and would occasionally show a very satisfied expression.
It was as if she was surrounded by a bunch of pink bubbles.
Just by looking at Su Yuan, Lin Huaian could feel a very obvious sense of happiness.
Suddenly, Su Yuan realized that Lin Huaian hadn’t moved his chopsticks for a long time, but had been looking at her.
Her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head, biting the chicken nuggets in small bites, not daring to look Lin Huaian in the eye.
Lin Huaian looked at Su Yuan, feeling that this girl was as cute as a squirrel.
He narrowed his eyes, reached out again, and rubbed the girl’s head, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Few people had seen Lin Huaian smile.
Su Yuan, who was lowering her head, didn’t know what she had missed.
She just felt her heart beating faster and faster, and for a moment, her soft tongue couldn’t taste anything.
“Is it delicious?” Lin Huaian asked.
“Yes, yes,” Su Yuan nodded quickly, “I’ve never eaten anything so delicious!”
This girl really hadn’t had a good day in her life since she was born.
Thinking of this, Lin Huaian couldn’t help but gently rub Su Yuan’s hair again.
Su Yuan thought that Eldest Brother was like an old father, and these dishes were so carefully made, no doubt because they were all made for Eldest Brother, right?
As expected of Eldest Brother, his status alone was enough for the entire sect to take him seriously.
“It’s good as long as it’s delicious,” Lin Huaian retracted his hand and returned to his usual indifferent appearance.
No matter how happy he was in his heart, he could only maintain this face.
“After the afternoon nap, come out with me.”
“Go out?” Su Yuan raised her head and asked hesitantly, “Where are we going?”
“Treasure Pavilion,” Lin Huaian picked up his chopsticks and said to the already stunned Su Yuan,
“I’m going to find some scriptures and information, and I can also help you choose a suitable mental cultivation technique.”
Su Yuan’s pupils shrank: “Choose a mental cultivation technique for me?”
“The mental cultivation technique that a handyman disciple like you can come into contact with will definitely not be of a high level,” Lin Huaian thought, but the set of Great Extinction Heavenly Tribulation mental cultivation technique that Su Yuan would create in the future when she fell into the demonic path appeared in his mind.
At that time, Su Yuan would kill gods and Buddhas, and fight against Void Refinement with the Transformation God Realm, and she could actually completely kill the latter.
Thinking of this, Lin Huaian couldn’t help but shiver, and he spoke more carefully, “The road of cultivation is long, I have to choose a more suitable mental cultivation technique for you.”
Looking at Lin Huaian’s cautious appearance, Su Yuan suddenly wanted to cry, because Lin Huaian actually… actually took care of her self-esteem so much!
He didn’t tell her in a condescending manner that your mental cultivation technique was too bad, come with me to learn another one, but he spoke very carefully, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
His words were full of care for her.
With such a senior brother, Su Yuan even had the feeling that she would have no regrets even if she died.
To be honest, Lin Huaian could still recite Su Yuan’s set of mental cultivation techniques to this day, but he would never tell anyone in this life, because that set of mental cultivation techniques was too strong, it could be said to be the bible of demonic cultivators.
I still hope to spend my days in the righteous sect and hug my thighs, what if the demonic cultivators are too strong?
Lin Huaian sighed, completely unaware of his current position in Su Yuan’s heart, which was second only to that benefactor.
