Chapter 12
After the woman, Gu Wu, woke up, she revealed her identity. It turned out that she had come with her elder brother to attend a wedding banquet at Xiang Mei Mountain Villa. However, she got separated from her brother when they were descending the mountain while indulging in playfulness. Later, as she cautiously made her way down the mountain alone, she was pushed into the water by an unknown assailant. Fortunately, Master Feng and Master Long came to her rescue.
Feng Xuan Yang and Long Qinghan were not interested in her identity. Seeing that she was unharmed, they intended to leave. However, Gu Wu blocked their path and explained that she was now separated from her brother, hoping that they could assist her in finding him. She felt indebted for saving her life and offered to serve them as a maid or servant until her brother was found.
Finding it troublesome, Long Qinghan passed Gu Wu over to Feng Xuan Yang. Feng Xuan Yang raised an eyebrow but didn’t object and accepted her.
However, it didn’t take long for Long Qinghan to regret his decision because something about Gu Wu bothered him.
Over the past few days, Gu Wu had been by Feng Xuan Yang’s side, addressing him as “Master Feng” at every opportunity. Initially, she called him “Brother Feng,” but Feng Xuan Yang didn’t like it, so he asked her to address him as “Master Feng.” As a result, Long Qinghan’s ears were constantly buzzing with the words “Master Feng.” Gu Wu stuck to Feng Xuan Yang’s side all day long, except for when he was bathing, using the restroom, or sleeping. She seemed to be attached to him and fused with him as one.
Originally, at this moment before his resurrection, Long Qinghan would have been on his way back to Heavenly Sword Sect. However, these few days, he felt a tightness in his chest as he watched Gu Wu cling to Feng Xuan Yang. But he never showed his discomfort on his face, maintaining his usual expressionless demeanor, and Feng Xuan Yang didn’t notice anything amiss.

Feng Xuan Yang raised an eyebrow, looking at Long Qinghan with surprise, wondering how he knew that he didn’t eat fatty meat. However, Long Qinghan didn’t look at him and continued eating.
Gu Wu’s hand froze in mid-air. She curled her lips, trying to give Feng Xuan Yang a graceful smile, and blinked, hoping that Feng Xuan Yang would give her an opportunity. However, Feng Xuan Yang, without giving her face, said, “Hmm, what the Young Master said is true. I indeed don’t eat fatty meat.”
Gu Wu was taken aback and reluctantly placed the piece of braised pork into her own bowl. Shortly after, a bright idea flashed through her mind, and she picked up a piece of chicken meat to put it in Feng Xuan Yang’s bowl.
“He doesn’t eat chicken skin.” Another cold voice came from Long Qinghan. Gu Wu was stunned, and upon seeing Feng Xuan Yang’s seemingly smiling yet not smiling expression, she awkwardly put the chicken meat back into her own bowl. She couldn’t possibly bite off the skin and give the plain chicken meat to Feng Xuan Yang.
Gu Wu took a few bites of rice and focused on watching what Feng Xuan Yang would pick. She was determined to figure out his preferences. Finally, she found a target and picked up a large piece of fish meat.
However…
“He doesn’t eat fish with bones.” Gu Wu’s lips twitched, and she withdrew her hand, picking up a boneless piece of fish meat instead.
“He doesn’t eat fish skin.” Another cold voice came.
“Snort!” Feng Xuan Yang couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into laughter.
As Feng Xuan Yang mocked her, Gu Wu couldn’t bear it anymore. It seemed as if she had a confrontation with Long Qinghan, yet stubbornly she changed several types of dishes to serve Feng Xuan Yang, only to be interrupted by Long Qinghan with different excuses each time. The infuriating part was that Feng Xuan Yang seemed to tacitly approve of Long Qinghan’s actions, smiling without saying a word.
In the end, frustrated, Gu Wu slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Feng Xuan Yang’s nose. “What does he eat then?”
“Vegetables.” Long Qinghan completely ignored Gu Wu’s attempt to ruin his image. He calmly picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and slowly chewed on them.
Gu Wu’s spirits lifted, and she reached out with her chopsticks towards the plate of vegetables on the table. However, there was only an empty dish with the remnants of the sauce. She clenched her lips and asked, “Where are the vegetables? Why is there none left?”
Feng Xuan Yang knocked on the table, raised his chopsticks, and pointed at the man in blue who was wiping his lips with a handkerchief. Suppressing his laughter, he said, “They are in his stomach.”
…
After the meal, only Long Qinghan had eaten to his heart’s content, while Gu Wu could only eat a little bit of fatty meat. Feng Xuan Yang sensed Long Qinghan’s animosity towards Gu Wu, but he didn’t say anything. It seemed as if he was deliberately indulging in the antagonism between Long Qinghan and Gu Wu.
After satisfying their hunger, Long Qinghan asked the innkeeper to bring several jugs of wine for him and Feng Xuan Yang to drink. Drinking alcohol was not a man’s business alone, and after accompanying them for a while, Gu Wu found it boring and took her leave.
Once Gu Wu left, Long Qinghan and Feng Xuan Yang simultaneously put down their cups, a gleam of cunning flashed in their eyes, and they hid their teasing expressions from earlier.
They were reincarnated and had an indescribable tacit understanding between them.
Long Qinghan lightly held his cup, looking at the reflection of his face in the liquid, devoid of any emotions. “What do you think?”
Feng Xuan Yang emptied his cup in one gulp and licked his lips, unsatisfied. “It’s suspicious.”
Long Qinghan took a sip of wine and asked, “Why?”
Feng Xuan Yang turned his wine cup in his hand, smiling faintly. “Young Master Long must have a clue…” Suddenly, his words came to a halt. With a swift movement of his elbow, he flipped his palm, and in an instant, he held something in his hand. He glanced briefly outside the window and then focused his gaze back on what was in his palm.
In the palm of his hand lay a long bamboo strip, and he took out the paper slip inside the bamboo strip, glanced at it quickly, and revealed a mischievous smile.
He handed the paper to Long Qinghan, who took a quick glance before gripping it in his hand and transforming it with his internal energy. As the powder scattered in the wind, the two of them exchanged a knowing smile, and then simultaneously raised their wine cups, drinking to the bottom.
They continued to sit in the private room of the inn, drinking wine until the moon had risen high. Only then did they bid farewell and retire to their respective rooms for rest.
Feng Xuan Yang walked into the room and saw Gu Wu, who looked exceptionally seductive. Gu Wu had put on some makeup and wore a light, gauzy dress. The layers of thin fabric draped over her body emitted a tantalizing fragrance. The dress on her shoulders seemed intentionally enticing, revealing a bit of her smooth skin. She swayed her waist and approached Feng Xuan Yang, gently extending her hand to pull him over, smiling brightly as she asked him to sit down, offering to massage his back.
Feng Xuan Yang was momentarily stunned, but a mischievous smile formed at the corner of his mouth as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment.
Gu Wu smiled, her eyebrows relaxed, and she occasionally pressed her body against Feng Xuan Yang, teasing him.
Seemingly indifferent, Feng Xuan Yang continued to close his eyes, gesturing to Gu Wu to massage his left shoulder and then pinching his right shoulder, indicating that he wanted her to massage him.
However, after a while with no response from Feng Xuan Yang, Gu Wu grew impatient. She bit her lip lightly, and suddenly her eyes flickered, letting out a soft whimper that carried a hint of coquettishness and annoyance. If an ordinary man had heard it, his bones would have turned to mush. But Feng Xuan Yang was not an ordinary person; if he were so easily swayed, his head would have been long gone.
Nevertheless, he still kindly turned his body and asked her what was wrong.
Gu Wu rubbed her arm and moved closer to Feng Xuan Yang, using a sweet voice. “Feng Dàyé, my hand is sore. Can you massage it for me?”
“Ah,” Feng Xuan Yang interrupted her words, nodding. Then he waved his hand and said, “Since that’s the case, you should go back and rest.”
Gu Wu’s expression instantly turned extremely pleasing to the eye. She suppressed her emotions, complained again, and acted coquettishly, saying, “I’ve been standing for so long, and my legs are sore.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan Yang said, “Sit then.”
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Gu Wu eagerly sat beside Feng Xuan Yang, blinking her eyes. When she noticed that Feng Xuan Yang seemed to want to pour tea, she quickly grabbed the teapot, pouring water while keeping her eyes fluttering. Her thin lips slightly parted, as if inviting a kiss. However…
“What’s wrong with your eyes? Are they twitching?” Feng Xuan Yang’s words interrupted her, causing the teapot in Gu Wu’s hand to almost spill the tea onto the table. Feng Xuan Yang glanced at her and casually lifted his chin. He yawned, waved his hand, and motioned for her to leave. “Well, since your hands are capable of pouring tea, you can leave now. Don’t need to see me off. Remember to close the door.”
After speaking, he pretended to stand up, but Gu Wu quickly pressed his hand before he could rise. Feng Xuan Yang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Wu’s hand. Gu Wu froze, as if afraid that he would see her hand. She quickly retracted it and softly said, “Feng Dàyé, aren’t you going to drink tea?”
Feng Xuan Yang raised an eyebrow, perhaps influenced by Gu Wu’s actions, unwilling to disappoint her. He nodded and said, “Pour me another cup.”
Gu Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly poured the tea, stealing glances at Feng Xuan Yang from the corner of her eye.
Meanwhile, Feng Xuan Yang seemed a little tired, his eyes drooping. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Wu’s eyes as she raised her sleeve and discreetly dropped something into the water, causing it to blend seamlessly. She covered the teacup with her long sleeve, gave it a slight shake, and then playfully approached Feng Xuan Yang, offering him the teacup, deliberately brushing her body against his.
Feng Xuan Yang discreetly avoided her and accepted the teacup, a wicked smile appearing on his face as he examined the tea. He raised his gaze, meeting Gu Wu’s slightly anxious eyes, and pulled a smile. Then, slowly, he brought the teacup to his lips.
However, just as the teacup was about to touch his lips, Feng Xuan Yang spoke slowly, “Auntie, the wrinkles around your eyes are showing.”
