Chapter 1370 - Chapter 1370 Chapter 1169 Helpless_1
Chapter 1370: Chapter 1169: Helpless_1 Chapter 1370: Chapter 1169: Helpless_1 Bei Lingsu’s almond-shaped eyes lingered on Yang Ye and Tong Sanlang for a moment before she couldn’t help but laugh, “I find your conversation very amusing.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang immediately said, “Your Highness, Miss Bei is laughing at you.”
“Clearly, she’s laughing at your arrogance due to favoritism,” Yang Ye instantly glared at him.
Tong Sanlang immediately turned to Bei Lingsu, “Miss Bei, what do you think?”
“I find both of you quite amusing,” Bei Lingsu tilted her head, a look of confusion appearing on her face, “Facing such a big enemy, shouldn’t you be earnestly discussing how to confront them?”
“He’s the one who twisted the topic first,” Yang Ye immediately pointed at Tong Sanlang.
“I was merely stating the facts,” Tong Sanlang said calmly.
This time he almost died, and the Zhang Family ended up with a lifelong disability. Wasn’t he allowed to retaliate a bit when seeing the Yang Family members?
“Hey, okay, let’s focus on how to face the enemy first!” Seeing that Yang Ye was about to speak again, Bei Lingsu quickly steered the conversation back on track.
Yang Ye and Tong Sanlang were taking subtle jabs at each other, and she was only half understanding the situation, but regardless of her understanding, she could tell that their recent spat was quite childish.
It was better to talk about serious matters!
This journey to Daqi was mainly for her to collect medicinal materials, as the flora on Sea Island could hardly compare to the mainland. Every few years, someone from her family would come to Daqi to train, and this time it was her turn.
The training period was one year, and after that, she would have to return.
There were still many places in Daqi she hadn’t visited yet!
Better hurry up and take care of Tianlong Gang and then move on!
When it came to serious matters, Yang Ye and Tong Sanlang exchanged glances, and both fell silent.
The Tianlong Gang was familiar with the terrain and adept at hiding, but more importantly, they had poisons like Paralysis Powder. Tong Sanlang didn’t dare to risk his life, let alone anyone else.
Sending others would be simply sending them to their deaths.
The previously lively hall fell into silence just like that.
Bei Lingsu was somewhat surprised as her gaze swept over Tong Sanlang, Yang Ye, and Niu Dacheng, asking, “Why has everyone gone quiet?”
“We’re at an impasse,” spoke Tong Sanlang.
“General Niu is a local, do you not have a solution either?” Bei Lingsu turned to Niu Dacheng.
Niu Dacheng gave a wry smile, “If the enemy didn’t have poison, we could have given it a try.”
With expertise in disguise and poisons at their disposal, joining the fight would be tantamount to gifting them a victory.
Bei Lingsu “…”
And so, the deadlock continued.
The four individuals stared at each other, none speaking again.
Half an hour later, it was time to eat.
Qiao Xiaomai prepared a full table of delicious dishes to thank Bei Lingsu, all of which were her specialties.
“Wow, wow!” Bei Lingsu looked over each dish with a surprise that kept her mouth agape, “Miss Qiao really is as incredible as the legends say!”
Tong Sanlang’s praise was no exaggeration; her culinary skills truly lived up to her legendary exploits.
Qiao Xiaomai smiled faintly, “Try some.”
Bei Lingsu picked up her chopsticks, first picking up a piece of dried tofu she hadn’t seen before. The dish Qiao Xiaomai made was “Green Vegetables with Dried Tofu”; the tofu was soft and fragrant. She ate with her eyes wide open, constantly giving Qiao Xiaomai the thumbs up.
“I feel like everything I’ve eaten before was pig slop!”
At these words, Qiao Xiaomai’s smile grew, “If it’s tasty, eat more. Here, try this ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’.”
She proceeded to serve Bei Lingsu a bowl, filled with precious ingredients.
These ingredients were obtained from the Extremely Tasty Tavern. Originally, Yang Ye had wanted Qiao Xiaomai to cook them for him, but for some inexplicable reason, she had turned cold. Thus, these ingredients remained untouched until now, when Qiao Xiaomai used them to treat Bei Lingsu.
Watching Qiao Xiaomai smile at Bei Lingsu, Yang Ye felt put out. This couple was becoming more and more outrageous. Didn’t they have any regard for him, the Prince of Wei, anymore!
