Chapter 437: Are You Well?

Outside the originally somewhat tranquil Qinghe Market, two sword lights suddenly flew in on this day and landed a few dozen zhang outside the market gate.

Several Law Enforcement Team cultivators guarding the market were standing leisurely on the side chatting. Seeing two Foundation Establishment cultivators arrive suddenly, these people immediately became nervous and hurriedly took out the magic tools on their bodies.

It wasn't until these two figures walked closer and a Law Enforcement Team guard recognized them that he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted respectfully: "Clan Leader Song, Senior Song, why did you two have time to come today? Please come in quickly!"

Seeing that the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who came were seniors of the Song family in Qinghe County, the other several guards who didn't have time to rush up to curry favor were immediately regretful, feeling they had wasted an opportunity to get familiar with Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Qingyu, you haven't been to Qinghe Market for some years, right!"

Song Qingyu, walking on the market street, shook her head at Song Qingming with a charming smile: "Seventh Brother, you guessed wrong this time. In the few years since I returned, I have come to the market almost every month!"

"Oh! Since you come here often, why do you still want to come so much today? Could it be that there is some good thing in this market that you can't bear to part with?" Song Qingming asked again with a smile.

After Song Qingyu finished listening, she nodded solemnly and said: "There is indeed a good thing. Recently, our family's Immortal Phoenix Building has a very powerful spirit chef. That taste is truly something I can't forget, drooling, and looking forward to..."

"Haha! I have eaten quite a few delicacies in Guiyun Market and Yangshan Market. Although the things made by spirit chefs in those places taste better than those here in Qinghe Market, they aren't as powerful as you say!"

Seeing Song Qingyu getting more and more outrageous, Song Qingming also felt somewhat strange. Along the way, this girl was not quite right all over. He didn't know what kind of riddle she was playing with him.

Although he knew in his heart that Song Qingyu seemed to be hiding something from him, Song Qingming didn't rush to expose her and followed her into the Immortal Phoenix Building very naturally.

After the two ordered a table full of delicacies in a private room on the second floor, Song Qingyu diligently picked up a piece of red spirit fruit and put it in Song Qingming's bowl.

"Seventh Brother, try this dish first. This is a spirit chef I spent a lot of effort to invite specially. See if you are satisfied with this culinary skill?"

After Song Qingming tasted a bite, under Song Qingyu's full expectation, he chuckled and shook his head: "Hongyu's culinary skill has indeed improved a bit these few years. However, she still can't change the habit of putting too many low-tier spirit herbs in spirit food."

"Strange, you can even taste this. No wonder Hongyu always says your tongue is powerful. However, don't be in a hurry. That was just testing you. For the next dish, Seventh Brother, you must taste it carefully."

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, she slowly moved a white spirit fish placed in the middle of the table to Song Qingming's eyes.

"This fine white carp looks quite good. It shouldn't be made by Hongyu and the others. I will taste it first and will definitely give you a fair evaluation later!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth under Song Qingyu's gaze.

A moment after this fish meat entered his mouth, Song Qingming closed his eyes to savor it, and suddenly felt a familiar taste in the fish meat.

As the fragrance of the fish meat gradually accumulated in his mouth, Song Qingming's feeling for this trace of fragrance became deeper and deeper. Soon, those memories accumulated in his mind kept emerging.

After tasting only one bite, Song Qingming sat in the chair for a long time without speaking, and the expression on his face slowly became somewhat strange.

Subsequently, Song Qingming gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes looked at Song Qingyu on the side, and he asked softly: "Is she back?"

"Seventh Brother, who are you talking about?" Song Qingyu pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Seeing that Song Qingyu intentionally didn't want to answer his question, Song Qingming didn't pay attention to her anymore and stood up directly, wanting to go outside the private room.

At this moment, the door in front of the two suddenly opened from the outside, and a white-clad woman walked into the room with a pot of spirit wine in her hand with a smile.

"Why are you leaving after eating only a few bites? Is there any urgent matter?" The white-clad woman said calmly, then sat directly beside Song Qingyu and poured a cup of spirit wine for both her and Song Qingming.

Seeing this very familiar face, Song Qingming smiled slightly and immediately sat back in his seat.

"Seventh Brother, the spirit chef I invited this time, are you satisfied? You eat slowly, I will go out to find Hongyu first." After Song Qingyu smiled and nodded at the other two people in the private room, she left the private room directly.

After Song Qingyu's figure disappeared, Song Qingming smiled and said: "This girl Qingyu is truly powerful in managing the clan now. I have been back for half a month, and I haven't heard a bit of news about you at home. It seems she had already greeted everyone."

"Haha! Qingyu and I came back together and have been here for several years. You had already left at that time, and everyone didn't know where you went. It made Qingyu anxious. Fortunately, you finally returned safely."

"This few years, you have been well, Siyuan!"

Huang Siyuan, dressed in white, nodded slightly: "Hmm! It is good to be back. Although I have been outside for a very long time, fortunately, I haven't experienced any suffering. It's all in the past. When I have time, I will tell you slowly!"

"Good!" After Song Qingming responded, he picked up the wine cup on the table and poured the spirit wine Huang Siyuan had just poured for him into his belly.

Seeing this, Huang Siyuan, sitting on the side, didn't speak either, picked up the wine cup beside her, and drank it with Song Qingming.

After the spirit wine went down, the two looked at each other and smiled, a hint of redness appeared on their faces. Soon, the two who had been separated for a long time also slowly began to talk and laugh. This meal seemed to have brought them back to decades ago.

"When I left without saying goodbye, were you very angry with me in your heart after you found out later?" After the meal, Huang Siyuan asked someone to bring two cups of spirit tea as before.

"Siyuan, the opportunity for those who practice the Dao is determined by heaven. Since your opportunity is not here, then leaving is also a matter determined by heaven! You don't need to care too much about other people's feelings!"

"In fact, even if you told me directly back then, I probably wouldn't have stopped you from leaving. Everyone pursuing their own Dao path is a matter of course. Although you and I are Dao companions, I will also respect your own choice."

After Huang Siyuan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, she suddenly raised her head and asked puzzledly: "Since you agreed with me leaving in your heart, why did you send people to inquire about my news everywhere after I left, and even specially went to Guiyun Market to look for several years?"

"What?"

Hearing Huang Siyuan say that he sent people to look for her everywhere, Song Qingming raised his head and looked at Huang Siyuan in surprise, but saw her looking at him seriously, not like she was joking, and understood something in his heart.

"It seems that Qingyu was able to bring Huang Siyuan back this time, and she really spent a lot of thought."

Because of Huang Siyuan's unexpected return, Song Qingming didn't leave immediately after eating and chose to stay in Qinghe Market. It wasn't until more than ten days later that he returned to the Mount Funiu cave dwelling.

After getting along for so many days, Song Qingming also slowly learned about some things that happened to Huang Siyuan after she left Qinghe Market years ago, and finally knew how she succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

The reason Huang Siyuan had no news after leaving Qinghe Market years ago was actually because she had left the Wei Kingdom and went to the Zheng Kingdom cultivation world.

Huang Siyuan's mother came from the Minghe Sect of the Zheng Kingdom. A hundred years ago, the internal strife in the Minghe Sect was very widespread, and her mother followed many fellow disciples and fled to the Wei Kingdom.

Because they were in a foreign land, many of these people fell from grace and became ordinary rogue cultivators. Huang Siyuan's mother also met her father, Huang Xianchen, under such circumstances.

After her mother married into the Huang family, their life was considered stable, and not long after, she gave birth to Huang Siyuan.

However, their family's stable life didn't last long. When Huang Siyuan was in her teens, her mother received a letter from a senior brother who had fled with her before, asking her to go help explore a senior's cave dwelling.

As a result, her mother never returned after this trip. It wasn't until decades later that the senior brother of Huang Siyuan's mother came to the door on his own initiative to inform Huang Siyuan of the secret of her mother's disappearance years ago.

This person came to find Huang Siyuan to explain the truth, also wanting to repay the kindness her mother had shown him years ago. Now he had also succeeded in Foundation Establishment and apprenticed to a Core Formation cultivator, which could be considered to have some ability.

Facing this senior uncle's repayment, Huang Siyuan pondered for a few days before deciding to ask him for an opportunity for Foundation Establishment. In the end, she left the Wei Kingdom with him under his agreement.

After arriving in the Zheng Kingdom, although this senior uncle was very caring toward Huang Siyuan and tried to fight for a Foundation Establishment opportunity for her, the Foundation Establishment Pill was not something that could be obtained casually. In order to obtain this opportunity to take the Foundation Establishment Pill, Huang Siyuan had to agree to serve that Core Formation cultivator for thirty years for free after Foundation Establishment.

Years ago, when Song Qingyu and He Mengxin participated in the Gufeng Mountain spirit stone mine battle in the Zheng Kingdom, the woman Song Qingyu finally chased was actually Huang Siyuan.

It was just that she hadn't completed the thirty-year agreement with that Core Formation ancestor at that time and couldn't leave. She could only explain her situation to Song Qingyu simply and left alone.

It wasn't until ten years later that Song Qingyu, who returned from the East Sea, found her again and waited for Huang Siyuan in the Zheng Kingdom for several years before the two returned to the Wei Kingdom together.

I found that many new book friends have come recently. If it is convenient, why not join the group 236038447.

Xiaomeng has seen everyone's comments recently, but some questions are easy to spoil, which is not good for other readers. Everyone can come to the group to chat with me. You can ask me directly about any questions.
