Huo Yuhao Was Moved Again: Big Brother Really Is Good to Us!

Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Qian Renchuan's little face scrunched up even more. He looked deeply conflicted.

Only after a long pause did he let out a long sigh. He turned to the followers behind him and said,

"Bring everything out."

"Okay."

Zhao Mang hurried over with a small table.

Li Yan placed the oil-paper bundle he had packed earlier on the table and peeled back its layers.

As the bundle opened, several charred fish that smelled burnt appeared before everyone.

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he frowned deeply.

What was that?

Grilled fish?

Or grilled charcoal?

He could not help looking up at Qian Renchuan again. Just as he was about to ask his boss what it was,

Qian Renchuan spoke first, his tone earnest.

"Third Brother, I've gotten a little tired of the food in the dining hall these past few days."

"I thought I'd catch some wild fish to give you all a change of pace, but they ended up like this."

"Could you make do with a little, Third Brother?"

At those words, Zhao Mang, Li Yan, and the other followers behind him stared in disbelief.

They looked at one another.

Their jaws nearly hit the ground.

What the hell?

Weren't those for us to eat?

When they came out burnt black, you looked disgusted. Now you've brought them back for your brother to eat?

Eldest Young Master, do you even have a conscience?

Only then did the followers realize why the Eldest Young Master had insisted they pack up the charred fish and bring them back.

He had planned to foist them on his brother!

That was supposed to be grilled fish?

Huo Yuhao looked at the pitiful blackened fish on the table.

He was a little touched that his boss had thought to bring him food,

but mostly, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"For me?"

Then Qian Renchuan heard Huo Yuhao's thoughts in his mind.

The boss is terrible at grilling fish. Can anyone actually eat these?

Still, it's understandable. He's only six, and he's a young master who's always had everything done for him. The fact that he thought to bring me food is already more than I could ask.

Listening to Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Qian Renchuan nearly laughed out loud.

Third Brother really can talk himself into anything.

Across from him, Huo Yuhao finished grumbling to himself, but then something stirred in him.

He looked at the grilled fish before him.

Suddenly, his hands itched to try.

How many years had it been?

How many years since I'd grilled fish myself?

Ever since his rebirth, he had trained desperately every day. His mind had been filled with thoughts of changing his fate and taking revenge on Tang San. He had been like a machine that never tired.

Now, looking at those grilled fish,

he suddenly wanted to rest and let his taut nerves relax.

Hearing those thoughts, Qian Renchuan knew he had an opening, but he kept up his dejected expression.

"Third Brother, they may look ugly, but they actually taste pretty good."

"We ate some at the Back Mountain just now."

"Why not try a little?"

The followers behind him twitched at those words.

Eldest Young Master, you threw yours straight away!

And now you're saying they tasted good?

There's messing with your brother, and then there's this!

But Huo Yuhao simply could not bring himself to eat one.

He shook his head helplessly, put away the metal materials and Carving Knife on the bed, then stood and asked,

"Boss, where did you get the fish?"

"Take me there. I can grill fish too."

"Huh?"

Qian Renchuan immediately put on a puzzled look.

"Third Brother, you know how to grill fish?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and made up an answer on the spot.

"I watched the maids do it at Spirit Hall. I should know a little."

The followers all rolled their eyes inwardly.

Right. He watched the maids do it, so now he knows how?

Another amateur who thinks he's an expert. His fish will probably come out even blacker than the Eldest Young Master's.

But Qian Renchuan lit up at once.

He walked over, took Huo Yuhao's hand, and pulled him toward the door.

"Come on, come on! Let's go catch some more!"

Behind him,

Huo Yuhao could not help lowering his gaze to the hand Qian Renchuan held.

He looked at where their hands met, then raised his eyes to Qian Renchuan walking ahead. A sudden pang ran through his heart.

Boss... Big Brother...

In my last life at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, I had a big brother too. But that bastard Dai Huabin treated me like an enemy. He wanted nothing more than to grind me into the dirt.

Big Brother in this life is lazy and nothing like a soul master, but he truly treats us younger siblings well.

For a moment, Huo Yuhao remembered his days at Spirit Hall.

Whenever they met,

Qian Renchuan would smile and greet him and Qian Renxue.

But back then, they had thought themselves above him because they were reincarnators. They had barely acknowledged him and had even looked down on him as a good-for-nothing.

Looking back, they really had been too harsh on their big brother.

After all, the boss was only six. Wanting to play and disliking training were natural for a child.

Why should Huo Yuhao judge him by the brutal standards of ten thousand years in the future?

Besides, he was Spirit Hall's Eldest Young Master. What did it matter if he did not train?

Walking ahead, Qian Renchuan heard Huo Yuhao's thoughts and could barely contain his delight.

He had not expected today's little act to bring such a bonus.

He had finally pried open a crack in Third Brother's defenses.

Before long,

Qian Renchuan, Huo Yuhao, Zhao Mang, Li Yan, and the other followers arrived back at the Back Mountain.

Looking at the clear stream before them,

Qian Renchuan ordered Zhao Mang and several others into the water to catch fish again, forbidding them from using soul skills.

He pulled Huo Yuhao down to sit with him on the grass by the bank and wait.

Though Huo Yuhao had decided to take it easy that afternoon, he was a workaholic through and through.

While they waited for the others to catch fish,

he could not resist taking the metal materials and Carving Knife from his Storage Soul Tool again. He bent his head and resumed carving.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao refused to waste even a second,

Qian Renchuan figured that if he did not ask about it now, Huo Yuhao might grow suspicious.

So he leaned in curiously, stared at the piece of metal in Huo Yuhao's hands, and asked,

"Third Brother, what are you making?"

"I see you carving at that thing every day. Is it some kind of toy?"

At that, Huo Yuhao immediately stopped carving.

He turned to Qian Renchuan.

Seeing the innocent confusion in Qian Renchuan's eyes, Huo Yuhao finally let down his guard around him completely.

Looks like the boss really is just an ordinary six-year-old. I was overthinking it before.

Then again, it's not as if reincarnators are everywhere.

Satisfied that Qian Renchuan did not understand, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and said softly,

"It's nothing. I just wanted to make you a little gift, Boss."

"A gift for me?"

This time, Qian Renchuan was genuinely surprised.

He had thought Huo Yuhao was preparing a trump card for himself. He had not expected it to be for him.

Huo Yuhao nodded and said no more. He lowered his head and focused on carving again.

Still surprised,

Qian Renchuan naturally leaned closer and watched for a while longer.

He knew it was a Soul Tool,

but he had never studied the craft. No matter how long he watched, he could not make sense of it.

In the end, he looked away and left Huo Yuhao to it.

He turned back to urge the followers in the stream to catch more fish.

There was more to come.
