A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Seeing this, Wuming and the others were all smiles, happy for Xuanjian and the other two.

Because there were many people in the carriage, Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian were relatively well-behaved.

Instead of constantly showing off their affection, they took the initiative to talk to Bai Yuan and the others.

During the conversation, I learned that their trip to Daliang was purely accidental, and that I was able to help them was even more of a coincidence.

During the conversation, Wei Qianqian specifically asked, "How is my father now?"

Although Wei Yong was a despicable person who was even capable of killing her, he was still her father, so she was still very concerned about him.

Bai Yuan and Wuming exchanged a glance and sighed.

"Your father's deeds have been completely exposed, and he was arrested that very night. He is now in prison. I heard that the King of Wei was furious after learning the truth, so..."

Bai Yuan didn't explain the outcome clearly, but Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian both understood what he meant.

This outcome was exactly what they had expected.

Wei Yong is likely doomed to die, and if Wei Qianqian were still in Daliang, she would probably be implicated as well.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Qianqian became somewhat depressed, leaning against Xuan Jian's chest and sobbing softly.

As a daughter, she really didn't want to see her father end up like this.

Xuan Jian gently patted Wei Qianqian's back, whispering words of comfort to her.

Bai Yuan and the others remained silent; it was really difficult for them to offer comfort in this situation.

However, Wei Qianqian stopped crying and recovered soon after. She remained clear-headed when faced with matters of principle.

Wei Yong committed so many heinous acts, and this is the retribution he deserves.

Therefore, Wei Qianqian would not defend him. When he ordered the Wei soldiers to kill her, their father-daughter relationship had already ended.

"Please excuse my poor appearance!"

She apologized to everyone, somewhat embarrassed.

"We understand how you feel. Let bygones be bygones. You are both about to start a new life, so why not look forward?"

When Bai Yuan said this, he specifically glanced at Ning Yan, who was sitting silently to the side.

Then he received a glare in return.

Ningyan had heard similar words countless times, so she didn't react at all.

Wei Qianqian felt much better and nodded to him in gratitude.

After a day of carriage travel, as the sun was about to set, they unfortunately could not find a suitable place to stay.

Left with no other choice, they had to sleep in the wilderness again.

Fortunately, Bai Yuan and the others were already used to this situation.

Apart from young ladies from wealthy families like Wei Qianqian, most others were more or less...

I have some experience of spending the night in the wild.

Having found a relatively secluded and quiet place, they prepared to set up camp there temporarily.

After parking the carriage, Bai Yuan got off and looked around at the surroundings.

"It's still quite cold. You guys hurry up and get the fire going. I'll go see if I can find something to eat before it gets completely dark."

He rubbed his hands together, greeted Wuming and the others, then picked up his Peach Blossom Sword and used his light footwork to leap into the woods.

After Bai Yuan left, Xuan Jian took the initiative to take over the task of starting the fire.

He found a patch of ground, cleared away the weeds and other debris, gathered some dry branches, piled them together, and finally started a fire with a flint and steel.

Soon a small fire appeared in front of them, the warm flames illuminating everyone's faces.

Everyone immediately felt much warmer.

Around the fire, everyone sat on the ground, huddled together to keep warm and chat.

Lu didn't participate; he just kept looking in the direction Bai Yuan had left.

His expectant look made everyone chuckle.

Not long after, Bai Yuan returned carrying two rabbits.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the rabbit in his hand. They hadn't expected that Bai Yuan could still make such a good harvest in this freezing weather.

Lu clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! We're going to have a feast tonight!"

Since arriving in Daliang, Bai Yuan hasn't cooked a single meal.

Lu never forgot his skills.

Xuan Jian readily accepted the two rabbits and took them aside to process them.

He had originally thought that he would be lucky to have some dry rations to eat tonight, but he was surprised to find that he could eat fresh meat, which made him very happy.

This was also thanks to Bai Yuan and the others. If he had taken Wei Qianqian south to the State of Chu, with no one to look after her on the way, he certainly wouldn't have dared to abandon Wei Qianqian and go hunting.

Soon, Xuan Jian returned with the two strung rabbits.

"Today, my husband and I have benefited from the kindness of a few people. Tonight, you will also get to taste my cooking."

He seemed very eager to show off his skills in front of everyone.

He can't cook a big meal, but roasting a rabbit is no problem. It was one of the essential skills when he was on missions with the Luo Wang organization.

But when they heard his words, neither Wuming nor Lu reacted, especially Lu, who seemed somewhat unwilling.

Bai Yuan naturally knew the reason and patted Lu's head.

"Let's each take one. If you're the only one doing all the work, when will everyone get to eat?"

Xuan Jian thought for a moment, then nodded and handed a rabbit to Bai Yuan to roast.

The two were roasting rabbit meat in front of the fire, and Xuan Jian seemed to be looking forward to competing with Bai Yuan.

He had seen Lu's expression clearly.

When Bai Yuan offered to help, his face visibly lit up.

This stark contrast ignited Xuan Jian's competitive spirit.

Bai Yuan found Xuan Jian's serious expression quite amusing. In terms of martial arts, he was still no match for Xuan Jian, but when it came to cooking, he, Bai Yuan, had never been afraid of anyone.

His culinary skills are at their current level entirely due to his own hard work and practice.

System, add an entry for me!

Under the same fire, the two cooked the rabbit meat almost simultaneously.

Just then, Xuan Jian was about to invite everyone to try it when a phenomenon that overturned his worldview occurred.

He saw that the roasted rabbit meat in Bai Yuan's hand was actually glowing!

Although the light was fleeting, everyone could see it clearly in the dim environment.

For some reason, Xuan Jian felt utterly defeated.

Bai Yuan looked at the roasted rabbit meat with delight.

Chapter 45 Who knows how to cook with a strange fire?

Bai Yuan was overjoyed at the results.

Isn't this like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep?

They were going to spend the night outdoors, and in this cold weather, even though Bai Yuan and the others who were skilled in martial arts could rely on their powerful internal energy to resist the cold and were not afraid of catching a cold, they still didn't like the feeling of being cold.

Moreover, there are people here who cannot resist the cold like they do.

Wei Qianqian, who had never cultivated before, and Lu, who had only been cultivating for a short time, could not ignore this chilling aura.

With this whole roasted rabbit, imbued with pure Yang energy, everything is solved!

While Xuan Jian and the others were still puzzled by the glowing roasted rabbit, Lu Ze, who was already used to this phenomenon, had already moved closer to Bai Yuan and was ready to start eating.

He knew very well that this was just a rabbit, with not much meat, and with so many people sharing it, if he was a little slow, he might not get any.

"Come and have a taste!"

Bai Yuan tore off a rabbit leg for Lu, and then reminded the others.

"Why did your roasted rabbit suddenly glow?"

Xuan Jian looked at the normal roasted rabbit in his hand, and then at the golden-brown roasted rabbit in Bai Yuan's hand that smelled incredibly delicious. He just couldn't understand where he had lost.

"Don't worry about the details, there's not much rabbit meat here!"

Bai Yuan didn't bother to explain, so he tore off a rabbit leg for himself and ate it first.

Unable to understand all this, Xuan Jian quickly put the matter out of his mind. Seeing Bai Yuan and the others enjoying their meal so much, he also wanted to try what Bai Yuan's roasted rabbit tasted like.

For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to this whole roasted rabbit, which exuded pure yang energy, so much so that no one paid any attention to the rabbit roasted by Xuan Jian.

Xuan Jian, Wei Qianqian, and Ning Yan were tasting Bai Yuan's cooking for the first time, and their faces showed expressions of disbelief.

Can roasted whole rabbit really taste this good?

Before long, Bai Yuan's roasted rabbit was reduced to a pile of bones, but one roasted rabbit was really not enough to eat. Apart from Xuan Jian's still-weaned child, there were seven people present.

The group, still wanting more, then turned their attention to the rabbit that Xuan Jian was roasting.

Although it didn't taste as good as Bai Yuan's roasted rabbit, Xuan Jian's roasted rabbit was ultimately all gone.

"I must say, your cooking skills are better than mine!"

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Xuan Jian sat to one side and sincerely praised Bai Yuan.
