Chapter 552 - 552 Just a Disciple
552 Just a Disciple
That was a good tip.
As for how An Cheng knew about it, Jin Wu didn’t ask too much. He had connections, and it was already good enough that he could kindly remind him.
Thinking about it carefully, the ships during the few times the big Kun attacked were not quiet.
Jin Wu glanced at Su Xiaolu, who nodded. “The last time we saw it, it was nighttime. We didn’t check. We only judged the situation the next day. Later, when we returned to the port and heard about the big Kun, we found out that it was the big Kun who brushed past us that night. However, there was no noise at night. The big Kun didn’t attack our ship.”
Su Xiaolu explained briefly.
Jin Wu nodded solemnly. “Thank you. I’ll go back now.”
He had to hurry back and report such important news to his master.
It was very obvious that this was an important condition to avoid the big Kun’s attack.
Jin Wu went back.
Su Xiaolu handed the bucket to An Lie, who carried it away with a smile.
Jin Wu returned to the ship and reported the news to Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi pondered for a moment before instructing, “Inform everyone to try their best to keep quiet and not make a fuss. If there’s anything, say it softly.”
Even though he really wanted to capture the big Kun, their own lives were much more important.
Now that there were many types of fish and spiritual energy in the sea, there was no need to take the risk.
He sat quietly on the deck and calmed his heart. He circulated his Internal Breath and breathing techniques. The spiritual energy was so abundant that a few more breaths here could be equivalent to one meal.
When night fell, Zhou Zhi saw a ship not far away. A charcoal stove was burning on the deck. He smiled slightly.
Jin Si, who had been following him closely, saw this and asked softly, “Master, should we make some grilled fish too?”
As long as Su Xiaolu was around, Zhou Zhi was always in a good mood. Everyone around him could feel it.
Zhou Zhi had always had a light appetite, but he could always eat more with Su Xiaolu.
Now that they were eating roasted meat over there, Jin Si felt that Zhou Zhi might also have an appetite.
Zhou Zhi shook his head. “No need.”
It wasn’t the same for him to eat by himself. He looked quietly to the side, feeling a little emotional. He was different from her. They weren’t on the same path.
All of their fate was forced by him.
Zhou Zhi waved his hand, indicating for them to retreat further.
On the other side, Su Xiaolu, An Lie, and the others were at the stove. An Lie displayed his skills.
After brushing the grilled fish with seasoning, the taste was elevated.
People who had lived by the sea since they were young were always good at handling seafood.
Knowing that Su Xiaolu liked spicy food, An Lie even brought chili powder. After seasoning it, the fragrance wafted out.
The big crab legs were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
It was the same for the grilled fish. The skin was slightly charred and covered in seasoning. The fish meat inside was white and tender.
Old Wu could eat a whole grilled fish alone.
An Cheng also had a big appetite. He loved octopuses and ate meat and drank wine in big mouthfuls. Occasionally, he would even toast Old Wu.
Old Wu liked to drink. Even though he was usually cold to An Cheng, his expression softened when he drank.
Su Xiaolu looked at the boat opposite and said to An Lie, “An Lie, give me this grilled fish and crab leg. I’ll send it over for him to try.”
An Lie nodded and packed it on a plate.
Su Xiaolu picked up the plate and jumped lightly.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
An Cheng was stunned. He knew that some people were very skilled in martial arts, but this was the first time he had seen someone with Qinggong.
An Lie’s face was filled with admiration and anticipation. He could not help but mutter, “Master is so powerful. I want to become someone like Master in the future.”
Old Wu looked up proudly and snorted proudly.
No matter what the girl did, she was talented. She studied medicine and practiced martial arts. She really made him proud.
When Zhou Zhi saw Su Xiaolu flying over, a smile appeared in his deep eyes.
Su Xiaolu landed on the railing and jumped onto the deck. She smiled at Zhou Zhi and said, “Come and try my disciple’s cooking.”
Zhou Zhi was surprised. “Your disciple?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “That young man is my disciple. His name is An Lie.”
Zhou Zhi laughed. “I see.”
He was overthinking. He was just a disciple.
Su Xiaolu gave Zhou Zhi chopsticks.
Zhou Zhi tasted it and gently talked to Su Xiaolu. The two of them ate together.
Su Xiaolu felt that Zhou Zhi was too thin. She hoped that he would gain more weight. She usually saw that he ate very little. If his appetite was better when she ate with him, she would accompany him.
She had also sacrificed a lot to detoxify him. It would be too much of a loss if Zhou Zhi could not survive because he was too skinny.
“How is it? His culinary skills are not bad, right?”
Su Xiaolu burped. The grilled fish was a little spicy. She felt that her lips were swollen, but it was really delicious.
Zhou Zhi was the same. His complexion immediately turned rosy and he even sweated a little.
Zhou Zhi nodded. “His culinary skills are very good.”
He smiled faintly, making Su Xiaolu sigh.
Zhou Zhi’s bone structure was very good-looking. His eyes were deep, his nose was straight, and his eyebrows were sharp. He looked weak but masculine. He was a very good-looking man.
Su Xiaolu thought that he had been eating plain food all year round and was afraid that his appetite would not be good. It would be uncomfortable to eat so much spicy food. She took out a small bottle and handed it to Zhou Zhi. “Here, it’s good for the stomach. Your appetite is not good. Eating some spicy food can increase your appetite. If you feel uncomfortable eating spicy food, take this medicine. The detoxification this winter will be even harder. Eat more and gain some weight.”
At that time, he wouldn’t be able to eat. With more fat in his body, he would be able to endure for a while longer.
Zhou Zhi laughed. “Okay, thank you, Xiaolu.”
No matter how he schemed, Su Xiaolu was concerned about his life. This was good.
The more she paid attention to him, the more attention he would receive. If he used it well, it would be a great weapon.
Su Xiaolu waved her hand. “I’ll go back first. You can take in more air. The air has spiritual energy and is extremely good for your body.”
Zhou Zhi nodded. “Yes.”
Su Xiaolu turned around and jumped onto the railing. She circulated her energy and jumped back into the boat.
Seeing that An Lie and the others had finished eating and An Lie was cleaning up, Su Xiaolu asked Old Wu to start cultivating.
Old Wu looked aggrieved.
He was exhausted.
On the third day, they arrived at the sea area that belonged to Su Xiaolu.
An Lie went into the water to check. There were arowanas both inside and outside the sea area. After he got on the boat, he said to Su Xiaolu, “Master, there are arowanas. There are a lot of them inside and outside the sea area.”
An Lie guessed that the arowana liked to live in this sea area. Even if it sensed danger and left, it would not leave for long. In the end, it would return to this sea area to live.
In other words, in this sea area, there was a high chance of catching arowana.
Since there was, she began to lay bait.
While Su Xiaolu was setting up the bait, Zhou Zhi and the others also began to set up the bait.
They did their own things and did not disturb each other. Only then did An Cheng let down his guard.
