If This Wasn't Fate, What Was?

The reason for saying this is truly because of Qin Han's style.

I don't mean to brag, but upon closer inspection, it exudes a high level of sophistication.

In just a short while, they've managed to elevate the bar to an incredibly high level.

"Among three people walking together, there is bound to be one who can teach me." This saying is indeed true.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and realized that he was still lacking in the ability to show off with a nonchalant air, while Qin Han had some merit in this regard.

But then I thought better of it.

Such actions are likely to incur divine retribution, so it's best to eat and sleep peacefully, and save up some time to strike others with divine punishment.

"The most important thing about grilled fish is actually the seasoning. I've grilled fish many times and found a lot of good seasonings for it."

"With their help, the original flavor of grilled fish can be made even better."

As Qin Han spoke, he sprinkled seasonings onto the grilled fish.

Lu Changzhi also took the opportunity to memorize the names of each seasoning.

It has to be said that although it was all pretentious, Qin Han did have the skills to back up his grilled fish.

The flavor is indeed quite tempting.

Therefore, the best solution is to write down the names of the seasonings and have Luo Ling'er prepare them when we get back.

As for not recognizing seasonings, that's a minor issue.

With the help of the system, the name of each seasoning is Tongtong.

"There is still a considerable gap."

Looking at the names of these seasonings, Lu Changzhi murmured to himself.

These were completely different from the names of spices like fennel, cumin, and chili that I used to have on Blue Star.

Just then, Qin Han took out a medicine bottle containing seasonings.

At the same time, Lu Changzhi's name appeared before his eyes.

Peak Grade Yang Spring Powder.

"This name is rather... well, hmm?!"

Just as he was surprised by how long the name was, Lu Changzhi suddenly realized what it meant.

Why does this name sound so familiar?!

After carefully reading its detailed introduction, Lu Changzhi immediately fell into deep thought.

It was exactly the same thing Liu Qingyan had put in the wine earlier, even the name was the same: Peak Grade Yang Spring Powder.

They use this stuff as a seasoning for grilled fish?

A secret recipe for delicious grilled fish?!

That can't be right.

Lu Changzhi looked at Qin Han.

The latter was talking to Liu Qingyan at the moment, while using his other hand to Peak Grade Yang Spring Powder onto the grilled fish.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi really wanted to ask Qin Han a question.

Did you do it on purpose or by accident?

"If this was done on purpose..."

After thinking about it, Lu Changzhi realized that he could retract his previous idea.

High-level hunters often appear as prey, but the prey they seek to capture is not necessarily simple.

Furthermore, if it was truly intentional, one can't help but marvel at the fate between the two.

They even used the same aphrodisiac on each other. If this isn't fate, then what is?

As for whether it was an accident, that's alright.

Anyway, Liu Qingyan was prepared, so there was no escaping it.

The grilled fish was now ready. Qin Han picked one up and handed it to Liu Qingyan, saying:

"Miss Liu, please try it and see if my cooking suits your taste."

Liu Qingyan thanked him, took the grilled fish, ate a couple of bites, and immediately let out a heartfelt exclamation of praise.

It's delicious, really delicious.

I've struck gold!

After offering his praises, Liu Qingyan took out the wine jug he had prepared.

Liu Qingyan poured a cup for Qin Han, then poured some for herself as well. She then picked up the cup, gestured to Qin Han, and said:

"Qingyan toasts Young Master Qin, to express his gratitude for saving his life."

Wine is a good thing.

It not only provides the atmosphere, but also the excuse.

Qin Han did not refuse, picked up his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Hua Yunfan:

"Elder Hua, would you mind leaving for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

What hasn't this little guy seen before? I saw them all last time, and they're nothing special.

However, despite his thoughts, he still spoke up:

"Don't worry."

Lu Changzhi looked at Qin Han, and he already understood.

It was probably intentional.

Because Qin Han himself hadn't spilled any on the grilled fish he was eating.

"This Qin Han isn't as honest as he seems."

Lu Changzhi thought to himself softly.

Fortunately, the system didn't assign me a disciple-recruiting task, otherwise I might have tried to take Qin Han as my disciple.

However, judging from the current situation, their actions are clearly quite different from what they expected.

"Perhaps it's because the person he's with is an elderly woman?"

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi was somewhat uncertain.

"However, this does prove the saying that wicked people need to be dealt with by other wicked people."

Pulling his thoughts back, Lu Changzhi continued to observe the two.

The two, who are of one mind, now eat and drink nothing but Yang Spring Powder (a type of Chinese herbal medicine).

It must be said that the miraculous effect is indeed as described in the system's introduction.

Soon.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, a flush crept onto Liu Qingyan's face.

Qin Han also hunched over.

What followed gradually became more and more harmonious.

As the saying goes, "When water flows, a channel is formed"—with both water and a channel, how could things not succeed?

Soon, the two put the grilled fish aside and started discussing whether the cooking style suited their tastes.

As for Lu Changzhi, he was very disgusted by such a waste of food.

Let's at least wait until we finish eating before talking about it.

In broad daylight, under a clear sky, with the earth and the sun shining brightly, it was a scene of perfect harmony.

Lu Changzhi looked at it for a moment.

It's nothing serious. Although Qin Han's actions were somewhat unexpected, he clearly lacked experience.

Both sides are now under the influence of drugs and have lost their rationality, giving Liu Qingyan a firm grip on the initiative.

If you were to ask him to describe Qin Han right now, one word would be most appropriate.

A tool.

"Alright, you guys keep doing your thing, just don't interfere with mine."

Qin Han is not just Liu Qingyan's tool, but also her tool. The opportunity of the Sword Heart is waiting for him to trigger Good Things Come in Pairs for her.

However, it seems that we won't be able to finish this work anytime soon.

I'm not even looking at my own side anymore.

It's almost time for my afternoon nap. Anyway, nothing new is going to happen here anytime soon, so there's no need to keep staring at it.

Of course, having seen it with my own eyes, it would be unrealistic to say there was no excitement involved.

It can only be said that Liu Qingyan is indeed skilled in martial arts.

In short, it's very powerful.

In the blink of an eye, a nap time had passed.

After waking up, Lu Changzhi's attention returned to the location of his External Avatar.

"No way, not only is the person incredibly strong, but the drug is also this potent?!"

Seeing the bustling scene, Lu Changzhi was shocked.

How long has it been!

From south to north, from top to bottom, from inside the cave to outside, surprisingly...

It seems that the old woman Hua Yunfan, who possessed the body, also helped to set up a protective formation.

"Isn't this taking a little too long...?"

Lu Changzhi murmured softly, expressing his concern.

Qin Han doesn't have much time left to obtain the Sword Heart opportunity.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi suddenly sensed something, and after confirming it, he couldn't help but be moved by it.

"No, what business is it of an old lady like you getting involved in something between these two young people...? Oh dear, how did you get possessed?!"

At this point, it's clearly no longer a matter of whether one is open-minded or not.

It's unbearable to look at, absolutely unbearable to look at.

For the first time, Lu Changzhi realized that the world of cultivation could be so diverse and ingenious!

Just as I was reeling from the shock, the system suddenly spoke up to remind me:

"Master, Qin Han has lost two opportunities."
