Chapter 998

"Last night?"

Gao Yao was stunned upon hearing this, feeling a bit confused, and then carefully recalled what had happened last night.

Oh, he remembered.

Yesterday, after he finished working, he dragged his weary body to sleep soundly. Before sleeping, he recalled some past events, and then, a voice seemed to ring in his ear, asking him if he wanted to leave that place.

He answered subconsciously.

He thought it was just a dream.

Now it seemed it was not a dream.

Gao Yao quickly looked at Su Xuan: "Did you save me? Did you bring me out of that hellhole?"

Su Xuan smiled indifferently, neither confirming nor denying.

Although Gao Yao did not have much culture, he had been struggling in society for many years, so he still had the ability to observe people's expressions.

After seeing Su Xuan's expression, he immediately had the answer.

"Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

Gao Yao quickly learned from the ancients and bowed to Su Xuan.

Although the etiquette he learned was not very proper, Su Xuan did not care much.

Rescuing Gao Yao, preventing him from becoming a broken man and subsequently going down the wrong path, was an idea he had when he first came to this world and realized which world it was.

There was no other reason.

Since he had already come to this world, he had to do something.

Gao Yao's life was a tragic one, truly worthy of sympathy.

Su Xuan was not made of wood, nor was he that scumbag Yi Xiaochuan who only cared about himself and could not see the suffering of others. Since he had the ability to change everything, he naturally did not mind helping Gao Yao.

It was just a matter of convenience.

When he saved Lu Su that day, he had left a Primordial Spirit mark on Gao Yao in the same way.

As for why he did not help Gao Yao at that time, but waited until he had suffered for a long time in the Official Slave Camp before coming to Xianyang to rescue him, it was naturally to let him suffer some hardship first. Only by experiencing the cruelty of this world would he cherish the good days ahead and feel that good days were hard-won.

"It's nothing, I just heard Lu Su mention you. When I found you in the Official Slave Camp, I took action to save you～～."

"You suffered a lot in the Official Slave Camp and your body is covered in hidden injuries. Lu Su has followed me to learn some medicine during this time; let her help you recuperate for a few days first. When your injuries are healed, you must cook me a meal so I can have a good feast. I've heard from Lu Su that your cooking is delicious."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yao immediately patted his chest and said: "I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to cooking, in this era, I am absolutely the best."

Su Xuan actually believed this.

Gao Yao's culinary skills were probably even better than Pao Ding's.

Although Pao Ding's culinary skills were good, that was only because he was a martial arts expert proficient in the "Ox-Carving" blade technique; his handling of ingredients had reached the pinnacle, but his cooking techniques, honestly, were just so-so.

Gao Yao was different; he was a modern chef, and his cooking techniques were more than two thousand years ahead of this era, so even Pao Ding could not catch up to him.

Lu Su was lost in thought on the side.

She could not figure out when she had told Mr. Su about Mr. Gao Yao, and at the same time, when she had told Mr. Su that Mr. Gao Yao's cooking was delicious?

Had she forgotten?

How exactly did Mr. Su know all this?

Because of Su Xuan's words, his image in Lu Su's mind became increasingly mysterious.

Su Xuan rescuing Gao Yao from the Official Slave Camp did not cause any ripples.

Since unifying the world, Ying Zheng had become increasingly arrogant and stubborn, conscripting countless laborers every year to build major projects.

The Great Wall, the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, the Efang Palace, etc... In this process, no one knew how many people went and never returned. Under the Great Wall, no one knew how many skeletons were buried. The disappearance of one official slave, although it caused some waves at first, was not worth the person in charge of the Official Slave Camp making a big fuss to send people to search.

After searching the vicinity a few times and not finding Gao Yao, the matter was left at that.

After a period of recuperation, Gao Yao's body had almost recovered.

During this process, Lu Su also tried to ask Gao Yao about Yi Xiaochuan's whereabouts.

However, the result disappointed her.

According to Gao Yao, after they found no way back at Mount Tangwu, he and Yi Xiaochuan met the other party's sworn brother, Liu Bang. After being treated by Liu Bang, when he woke up, he found that he had been muddledly brought to the Official Slave Camp.

He did not know where Yi Xiaochuan was.

But according to his guess, Yi Xiaochuan probably did not have a good ending either.

Because that guy named Liu Bang was clearly a beast in human clothing!

When mentioning Liu Bang, Gao Yao gritted his teeth.

Even though Yi Xiaochuan had mentioned to him that Liu Bang was the Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang had harmed him, so he could not care less whether Liu Bang was the Gaozu of Han or not.

"｀ 」Does that mean Xiaochuan doesn't know where he went?"

After learning the reason for the matter, Lu Su felt a bit miserable and also worried for Yi Xiaochuan.

Ultimately, it was Mr. Su's words from before that gave her some hope again.

Mr. Su had saved her that day, and before that, he had also saved Mr. Gao Yao from the Official Slave Camp. Since he said there was a chance to meet Xiaochuan in Xianyang, then it must be possible.

As long as she waited in Xianyang, she would see Xiaochuan sooner or later.

Lu Su was extremely firm about this.

Gao Yao saw Lu Su's disappointment and also comforted her.

After another period of time, Gao Yao's injuries were mostly healed.

He showed off his skills and prepared a table of good dishes for Su Xuan and Lu Su.

Although many ingredients were not available in this era, Gao Yao's skills were truly impeccable.

After many years, even though this body was only a temporary residence, the feeling of eating was the same. After eating food that only existed in modern times, Su Xuan felt a wave of emotion.

After eating and drinking his fill, he asked Gao Yao a question: "Logically speaking, there is no possibility of finding a way back. Where do you plan to go from here?"

Gao Yao said in a deep voice: "I still want to go back. As long as there is hope of returning, I don't want to give up. I will continue to try to find a way back. If I really can't go back, I will try to open a restaurant or something in this world. After all, all I know is cooking!"

Su Xuan nodded.

Gao Yao asked Su Xuan curiously: "What does Mr. Su plan to do in Xianyang?"

Su Xuan said softly: "If possible, I want to see the Emperor of Qin!"

Su Xuan wanted to see if he could pull Ying Zheng into this world as well.
