Amidst his surprise, Third Master Xue was also secretly delighted.

However, when he sensed this hint of joy, the expression on Third Master Xue’s face disappeared. Then, he calmed down.

At this moment, Third Master Xue understood something.

It turned out that he had actually always had feelings for Yu Baifeng.

For some reason, his concern for Yu Baifeng was no longer just for the sake of that promise.

That woman had truly entered his heart.

In the past, he had always used his promise to Gangzi as a cover for his secret feelings.

But now, he could no longer deny his feelings!

After putting away his handkerchief, Third Master Xue made a decision.

“Luo Cheng, I’m leaving now!”

Luo Cheng actually knew that his uncle had figured it out when he saw his expression change.

“If you want to leave, leave! It’s time for you to leave!”

When Third Master Xue heard Luo Cheng’s words, he hesitated. After he thought for a moment, he took out something.

“I know that Yu Baifeng’s ident.i.ty must be extraordinary, but there are many memories between her and me. I have to find her and ask her before making plans. This belongs to the Xue family. Now, you and I are the only ones left in the Xue family! I’m going to look for Yu Baifeng. It’s unknown if she’s dead or alive, so I’ll pa.s.s these things to you!”

Luo Cheng looked at a dark jade piece and then at his uncle in confusion. “Uncle, what’s the use of this jade piece?”

“You’ll know the secret of this jade piece when the time comes! Remember, if you hear the news of my death, don’t look for me, don’t save me, and don’t avenge me. Instead, wait for the opportunity to unravel the secret of the jade piece and then you’ll know everything!” Third Master Xue reminded.

Luo Cheng pinched the piece of jade and watched his uncle stand up.

“I’ve said everything I have to say. I’m leaving now! Get someone else to help vou carrv those herbs back!”

Luo Cheng nodded and watched Third Master Xue leave.

As Third Master Xue’s figure became smaller and smaller, Luo Cheng suddenly stood up.

“Uncle, come back safely. We haven’t had a good drink yet, and you don’t have a child yet. If you don’t come back, you won’t be able to face my mother in the netherworld!”

When Third Master Xue heard Luo Cheng’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh, but his eyes turned red.

“Don’t worry! I’ll try to stay alive!”

Li Xiaoran came to Luo Cheng’s side and held his hand to accompany him silently.

“Actually, I hope that he’ll always be fine. After all, he’s my only family member left!”

“Don’t worry, Third Master Xue will definitely be safe. If you don’t believe me, let Wu Qinghe divine!” Li Xiaoran comforted.

When Wu Qinghe heard his name, he immediately ran over.

“Madam, what do you want me to do?”

Before Luo Cheng could speak, Li Xiaoran said, “Divine the outcome of Third Master Xue’s trip!”

When Wu Qinghe heard this, he immediately laughed.

“There’s no need to divine it. I’ve already divined Third Master Xue’s horoscope! Although there’s a calamity in his life, it’s a blessing in disguise. It’s just that his love life isn’t smooth-sailing, so it might be difficult for him to get what he wants!”

Luo Cheng was puzzled when he heard Wu Qinghe’s words.

“When have you ever divined for my uncle?”

“Isn’t it just last night? At that time, I was bored and Third Master Xue was also drinking in the courtyard, so the two of us chatted. When Third Master Xue heard that I knew how to read fortunes, he asked me to read his fortune!” Wu Qinghe said.

With Wu Qinghe’s a.s.surance, Luo Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.

“I hope you’re safe!”

“Definitely! I think Third Master Xue is like an indestructible c.o.c.kroach!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Luo Cheng nodded and said nothing else.

After that, Luo Cheng and the others didn’t go down the mountain. Instead, they searched for a cave nearby. Then, they packed up and stayed in the cave to rest.

The cave was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was so hot outside, but the cave was very cool.

The group split into several groups and were each in charge of different matters.

One group picked up firewood, one group hunted, and one group cleaned up the cave. The remaining people were in charge of starting a fire and cooking.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng and the others were already prepared. They brought some tents, pots, and bowls.

Li Xiaoran got a bamboo piece from somewhere and took out the chicken fungus she had encountered when picking herbs previously.

It was a rare delicacy, so she naturally had to wash it and cook it now.

Fortunately, there was a stream flowing down from above outside the cave, so it was very convenient to wash the food.

After Li Xiaoran washed the chicken oil fungus, Zi Yan and the others returned with their prey.

They were all experienced hunters, so after obtaining the prey, they found a place with water and cleaned up the wild animals they had hunted before returning with the meat.

After Li Xiaoran took a closer look, she gasped.

Not to mention anything else, they had hunted ten pheasants.

“Did you poke a pheasant’s nest?” Li Xiaoran teased with a smile.

Luo Ziyang said with a smile, “Madam,pheasants are the most common prey on this mountain. Our aim isn’t bad, so naturally, we caught many pheasants!”

“That’s right. Sister, I even caught a pheasant! Unfortunately, the deer we saw ran too fast. Otherwise, we could have carried it back!” Li Xiaoqing said excitedly.

“Alright, these pheasants and hares are enough for us. Let’s not be greedy! Hurry up and come over to help. I found some yam medicine nearby. Hurry up and sc.r.a.pe the outer skin with a stone. We’ll use it to stew chicken later! By the way, don’t get your hands stained. It’ll be very itchy if you keep holding the leaves!” Li Xiaoran said to Li Xiaoqing with a smile.

“Madam, let me do it! I have thick skin, so I’m not afraid of itchiness!” Luo Ziyang quickly took over.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Alright! Then let Xiao Qing chop these chickens and leave four whole chickens to make roasted chicken later!”

Li Xiaoqing thought of something and asked, “What about rabbits? Roast rabbits too! I want to eat roasted rabbits!”

Li Xiaoran said, “Then marinate those six rabbits and four chickens! After marinating them, you can chop the chickens!”

“Okay!” Li Xiaoqing nodded happily and went to do her work.

Shu Ruyue had already cleaned up the cave and set up the tent.

Just as she was about to come out to look for Li Xiaoran, she suddenly saw the thin old man walking in..
