In the kitchen.
Dugu Yan copied Xia Liang by putting on an apron, then picked up a spoon and fished noodles from the pot over the stove.
"Yan Yan, the moment I walked in, I could smell something delicious. I thought you'd hired a cook. Why are you cooking for yourself?"
Dugu Bo entered the kitchen and walked to the stove in surprise. He could not help giving Dugu Yan, who was scooping up noodles, a strange look. "Did you cook these noodles?"
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Dugu Yan looked displeased. "If I didn't cook them, could someone have snuck into our home and cooked them for me?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately became alert. His Mental Detection instantly covered the entire residence, yet he found no one hiding inside. There were no suspicious traces within a hundred meters either.
So this pot of noodles really had been cooked by his granddaughter.
Thinking of that, Dugu Bo smiled in relief. "My Yan Yan has learned to take care of herself too. You've really grown up."
"Grandpa, you just got back. Go rest for a while. I'll serve you a bowl later. These noodles were given to me at the academy by Master Xia. They're smooth in texture and rich in flavor. I guarantee every bite will be an indescribable delight for your taste buds!"
Upon hearing the words Master Xia, Dugu Bo seemed to remember something. "The Master Xia you mentioned is that Two-Ring kid who told you about Ring Fusion and External Mixed Poison, right? Back then, I deliberately put mental pressure on him, and he actually endured it. I quite admire that courage. Has he bullied you lately?"
"When has he ever bullied me? I only lost those two spirit fights because I wasn't skilled enough."
