Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 95 Qin Feng, I'm your uncle! (Unrelated: Cousin!)

Qin Feng looked at the news, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

That messenger really knows how to brag!

He even attained sainthood on the spot and gave back to all living beings!

It's such a waste that someone with your amazing talent for conning people doesn't set up a fortune-telling stall!

No wonder you can be a messenger and be called a smooth talker and a social butterfly; you are indeed a remarkable person.

Compared to this messenger who talks a lot of nonsense, Qin Feng only hoped that his kitchen colleague could be more reliable and not like this guy who talks a lot of nonsense.

After all, in the normal way a master travels the world, messengers don't appear often. They only appear in special circumstances. The only person he spends a long time with is his kitchen colleague, who is responsible for three meals a day and also manages the purchase of ingredients.

Whether I eat well or not while traveling the world depends entirely on this big brother's wishes. If the big brother provides me with poor-quality meals, then I'll be in big trouble.

There's a saying: in a team, never offend the cook. At best, they'll make you cook the next meal; at worst, they'll give you laxatives and make you run to the toilet three times an hour.

Just as Qin Feng was pondering this, a sound came from outside the door.

"Qin Feng! Come out!"

"Qin Feng—"

Hearing that familiar voice, is it Prince Fusu?

In the VIP hall on the third floor of the [Reinforced] station, Fusu sat there angrily with two trusted subordinates.

Just by looking at the eldest son's back, you can tell that Fusu is in a very bad mood today!

Qin Feng showed no mercy to Fusu, pushing open the door and laughing, "Tsk tsk! Young Master, where did you get such a temper! Tell me, and I'll have a good laugh!"

Upon seeing Qin Feng appear, Fu Su could no longer suppress his anger and strode up to Qin Feng, their noses almost touching.

Gu Niantong, watching this scene from a short distance away, was at a loss and worried. What if the two of them started fighting? If they did, should she report it to the Military Affairs Department or the Court of Justice?

Fortunately, both Fusu and Qin Feng remained restrained.

After staring at each other for a full three minutes, Fusu took a few steps back, pointed at Qin Feng, and said, "You must give me an explanation today!"

Qin Feng sat down on the sofa and said with interest, "Explain? Explain what? Do I need to explain myself to you while I'm in seclusion at home? What's our relationship? Are we lovers? Do I need to take responsibility for you?"

These words made Gu Niantong and her confidants almost lose their composure.

Fusu angrily shouted, "Get out of here, all of you!"

The confidants and Gu Niantong hurriedly left the VIP room.

Qin Feng, bored, picked up his teacup and poured it for himself. "Young Master, I understand your feelings. I'm about to leave Xianyang, and you're reluctant to part with me, aren't you? Actually, I'm reluctant too! In these past three months in Xianyang, we've had several rounds of love-hate relationship, and we're evenly matched, truly worthy opponents! But, fate always comes to an end, and I have no choice but to leave!"

Fusu said, "Who could bear to part with you! This young master wishes you'd be kicked out right now!"

Qin Feng shook his head repeatedly, "How can you say that? It's so dishonest! Do you hate me that much?"

"Stop giving me that nonsense!" Fusu slammed his hand on the table. "I'm not here to argue with you! I'm here to demand compensation!"

Qin Feng said, "Demand compensation? It's all gifts I receive, and you're asking me for them? That's going too far, young master! Besides, I don't think I owe you anything! Explain yourself!"

Fusu exclaimed, "Young Master, the Heavenly Clear Pool! My three lucky golden carp, which I've raised since I was a child, are gone!"

Qin Feng spread his hands. "Young Master, I'm currently in seclusion. Do you understand what seclusion means? It means I don't leave the palace! How could I possibly have time to steal your lucky golden carp from your palace? How could I possibly have time to steal fish? Don't try to smear me!"

"Who threw dirty water on you! Did I say you stole my fish?"

"Then what are you doing here! Go catch the fish thieves!"

"If I could catch the fish thieves, would I be coming to you?"

"What good is it for you to come to me? I don't even know who stole the fish!"

"The fish thief claims to be your uncle, so who else should I go after if not you!"

At this point, Qin Feng blinked. "Me, uncle? You're kidding, right? I don't remember having an uncle! I do have one uncle, though, you know it's Jing Ke. Uncle, which one is it?!"

Fusu looked at Qin Feng, annoyed, and said, "How would I know! I only know he's your uncle!"

Qin Feng said, "You're being unreasonable! The person who stole your fish said he was my uncle, and you believed him? Does that mean every stranger on the street who claims to be your uncle is your uncle?"

Fusu stood up and said to the outside, "You wait, I'll get you the evidence! I was almost catching up with that person, and he proved he was your uncle before I let him go. You wait..."

Just as Fusu opened the door, the voices of the young master's confidant and Gu Niantong came from outside. ★🎁 ➅➈𝐬𝒽𝕦χ.ℂσм 🐉♝

"Stop right there! What are you doing?!"

"Stop right there! Or we'll shoot!"

"Trespassing on the [Enhancement] station? You've got some nerve! Stop right there!"

A gruff, resonant voice echoed throughout the entire [Enhancement] station, "Nephew! Your uncle has come to see you!"

At that shout, Fusu's hair stood on end. He exclaimed impatiently, "That's it! That voice! I'll never forget that voice, even in my wildest dreams! It was him who caught my three lucky golden carp!"

"Qin Feng, you're still being stubborn! You still say he's not your uncle! If he weren't your uncle, would he be here looking for you?"

"Now that you've been caught red-handed, let's see how you deny it!"

Qin Feng was a little confused by being called "nephew". What did that mean?

My mother was born posthumously; my maternal grandmother gave birth to her and then passed away, so there was no possibility that she had any brothers.

Could it be that some people from the Chu Kingdom are of the same generation as my mother?

That's unlikely! It seems like the Chu Kingdom doesn't really recognize my maternal grandmother's status as a princess anymore!

Despite Fu Su's angry glare, Qin Feng steeled himself and walked out.

Looking down from the third floor, the man surrounded by a group of court officials and guards was a farmer who was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, with dark skin, incredibly strong, and unassuming.

Yes, the first thing you think of when you see him is the image of an honest, simple farmer, the kind of old, hardworking ox that's depicted in textbooks.

He had rough skin, wore a straw hat, carried a fish basket on his back containing fishing gear, held a large leather suitcase in his left hand and a lunchbox in his right, and had a happy expression on his face.

At that moment, he also noticed Qin Feng upstairs and exclaimed with delight, "You must be my nephew Qin Feng! Your uncle has heard of your great name, first in three subjects, top of the list! You've truly made our family famous! Come downstairs and greet your uncle!"

Behind him, Fu Su said sourly, "What do you mean, you recognized me? Qin Feng, do you know that those three fish have been with me since I was a baby? Your uncle stole three of my fish, you'd better return them immediately."

Qin Feng raised his hand to interrupt Fusu, "The situation is complicated right now, and I'm not even sure if he's my uncle! Let me confirm!"

As he spoke, Qin Feng hurriedly went downstairs, waved to several guards, and Gu Niantong quickly served him tea.

Qin Feng smiled, but looked at the man in front of him with suspicion. He was not tall and had a rough appearance. His skin and complexion were obviously caused by frequent exposure to wind and sun. No matter what his features or temperament were, he did not look like his mother at all!

How could he be my uncle?

"Thank you, young lady!"

He took a sip of the tea and then said, "The tea is good, but it's a pity that the water was wrong. It has to be the best underground glacial water from Neptune, combined with the pure Martian core fire, to brew a wonderful flavor. But in this environment, this tea is good enough. I won't be picky."

Qin Feng looked at him and said, "Sir, I don't think I know you! I don't remember my mother mentioning you either! Who are you to me, my uncle?"

He looked around and hesitated, then asked, "Is it safe here?"

Qin Feng glanced upstairs. In theory, Fusu had already laid bare all of his family's wealth. Since that was the case, there was nothing left to hide!

Qin Feng said, "It's perfectly safe, go ahead and speak!"

He lowered his voice, "Is your mother's name Long Ziqing?"

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes!"

He added, "Actually, her surname should be Zi, not Long!"

Qin Feng's eyes widened. "You, how did you know?"

He seemed surprised, looking at Qin Feng, "You know about this?"

Qin Feng said, "Of course I know! But how did you know?"

He said smugly, "Because I'm your uncle! Your mother has to call me her cousin!"

At that moment, Fusu, who was sitting upstairs, suddenly sat up, his eyes wide open. "The surname Zi? Could it be that you are a descendant of Tang of Shang?!"

"Qin Feng's mother's surname is Zi! Does that mean Qin Feng's maternal grandfather was a member of the Shang Dynasty royal family?"

Downstairs. 🐟🐯 69sh𝓊𝐗.c𝔬м ♠🐨

Qin Feng persisted, "I don't believe it."

"When I first heard you were my nephew, I didn't believe it either, but it's true! Let me tell you the story." He took out paper and pen and started drawing on the paper. "Look! Your maternal grandmother was a princess of the Chu Kingdom. By chance, she met your maternal grandfather, and they fell in love, which led to the birth of your mother!"

"But nobody knows about this; the State of Chu is still thinking about how their princess is still unmarried!"

"Later, when the State of Chu went to war with the State of Qin, Chu lost to Qin. Logically, Chu was supposed to compensate Qin with a princess, and that's what happened to your grandmother!"

"But your maternal grandmother was already pregnant with your mother at the time, how could she marry the King of Qin? So she stole the [Divine Forging Manual] and caused the Dragon City Incident!"

"At the time, both the Chu and Qin states thought the other wanted to seize the [Divine Forging Manual], and they overlooked your maternal grandmother. No one noticed that your maternal grandmother later had your mother!"

"And this matter gradually disappeared with the disappearance of the [Divine Forging Diagram], and no one mentioned it anymore. Although some people later learned that your maternal grandmother was pregnant and getting married, it was a scandal for both countries, so no one mentioned it, and no one looked into your maternal grandfather's identity."

"But then again!"

He pointed to the grandfather from the beginning, "Your grandfather's name is Zichun! And my father's name is Ziqiu! They are brothers! After your grandfather and grandmother got together, they made a promise that he would marry your grandmother after returning from his adventure. So he went on an adventure with my father, Ziqiu!"

"Where they went after they left the solar system, and what they did, nobody knows! Not even I, their son, know!"

"Then one day, someone brought back one of my father's belongings, and I learned that my father and your maternal grandfather had actually passed away not long after they left us."

"I don't know exactly how it disappeared!"

"My father told me about these things in his will, and also told me to look for Zichun's descendants in this world when I have time, and to take good care of them."

"I went through all the family genealogies, starting with the bloodline charts of the nobles from the six kingdoms!"

"Heaven helps those who help themselves! I actually found her! It's just a pity that your mother can no longer be found in Longcheng, and your maternal grandmother has also passed away, so I can only turn to you, my nephew!"

"As soon as I arrived in Xianyang, I heard about your fame. You were first in three subjects, top of the list of outstanding scholars, your prestige is terrifying! You even set up a weapon enhancement station, learned Ou Yezi's [Divine Forging Manual], and even have a small dragon totem!"

"Nephew, you've really made something of yourself! You've really brought honor to your uncle!"

Qin Feng leaned back on the sofa, his eyes slightly glazed, staring at the bloodline diagram on the white paper, lost in thought for a moment.

Holy crap, I actually do have an uncle!

Upstairs, Fusu pondered, "Ziqiu, Zichun, the two righteous men! Could it be that what happened back then was true? Did these two ruthless men really commit that heinous crime?"

He sipped his tea and said warmly, "I was so happy to hear you became a coachman! That's why I specially cooked three fish for you to try!"

As he spoke, he took out a mahogany lunchbox from the side. The lunchbox opened, and a fragrant aroma instantly filled the entire third floor of the [Enhancement] station!

It has a strange fragrance!

It's a kind of spiritual energy mixed with a fragrance!

It's like a fragrance that permeates all five senses and six perceptions!

Upon smelling the aroma, Fusu couldn't help but stand up, his eyes filled with tears. "Little White, Little Red, Little Black! This smell! These are my three fish!"

He enthusiastically handed Qin Feng a pair of chopsticks, "Nephew, try this, it tastes great!"

Qin Feng stared blankly at the three fish on the table, which were emitting strange, peculiar gaseous halos, and muttered, "These fish are unusual!"

He laughed heartily, "Nephew, you have a good eye! To tell you the truth, I caught these three fish in a pond I happened to pass by! Uncle, you're quite the angler, aren't you? Eat up! These are lucky golden carp! They might not be very presentable, but they're still quite rare!"

Qin Feng didn't touch his chopsticks, but instead felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Fusu had really won this round.

My uncle really did steal the fish!

It's over, this is really the end!

At this moment, Fu Su, who was upstairs, could no longer hold back and strode down angrily. "Young Master Qin Feng, what do you have to say?"

He noticed Fusu and stood up to greet him warmly, "The fisherman is here too! Come, come! Try my fish, it's the best in the world!"

Fusu looked at him, his heart bleeding.

Yesterday, the three lucky golden carp were perfectly fine; they were the three best companions of my totem bird, the Black Bird.

Now that the three fish have become a delicacy, how will his totem, the Black Bird, survive?

Seeing the fierce look in Fusu's eyes as if he wanted to attack, Qin Feng could only pat his uncle's shoulder and say, "Well! Why don't you step aside for a moment? I have something I'd like to discuss with the young master..."

"What's there to avoid!" he laughed. "I'm not leaving now that I'm here! I'm going to enjoy myself with my nephew."

Qin Feng said, "No, not leaving? No, that cousin of mine! I'm about to travel the world, and who knows where I'll end up! How can you come with me? Would the teacher agree?"

He spread his hands and said, "Master? Isn't that Mencius? I came here because Mencius arranged it! Mencius said he needed a cook and wanted me to cook for him! I didn't want to come at first! But Mencius said that the coachman is my nephew! I had no choice but to come."

Qin Feng, Fu Su's head trembled slightly. Meng Ke asked him to cook. Could it be that he was one of the chefs, the messengers of the kitchen?

Qin Feng's face lit up with joy. "Uncle, which chef are you? The one who received two huge spaceships as gifts?"

He chuckled憨厚ly, "There aren't two large spaceships as gifts at all; they're just making that up! There were actually only about twenty!"

Qin Feng's smile vanished abruptly, and he was completely stunned. "More than twenty ships? The way you put it makes me, your nephew, look like a complete waste!"

He chuckled again, "That messenger kid took even more—over a hundred! He rented an asteroid just to store his gifts!"

Qin Feng was completely numb at this moment.

Fusu's expression changed completely at this moment.

He was initially furious and ready to take advantage of Qin Feng's uncle, making Qin Feng vomit blood!

The other party is now the cook. What is a cook? A potential future eleventh-realm saint! And Master Confucius is accompanying him!

Which is more important, the three fish or the chef's skills?

After thinking for only a quarter of an hour, the anger on the eldest son's face vanished, leaving only a smile.

Fusu walked up to Qin Feng with a beaming smile. "One family with two auspicious energies! Congratulations! I thought it was already impressive that Young Master Qin was a coachman, but I never expected that you, Uncle, would be a chef! The chef's destiny is second to none in the world! I am Fusu, greetings, Uncle."

The uncle nodded. "Fusu, right? I remember you, the eldest son of the King of Qin! These are your three fish. How about you try my cooking?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng hurriedly went to cover his uncle's mouth.

But to everyone's surprise, Fusu lowered his head, picked up his chopsticks, hesitated for a third of a second, then took a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed, "The flavor is lingering, and it's brimming with spiritual energy! Uncle, you've truly mastered the art of cooking, perfectly preserving the fish's spiritual power during the cooking process!"

Uncle laughed heartily, "What a pity there's no wine, otherwise the three of us would have drunk our fill tonight!"

"The wine is simple!" Fusu shouted. "Qin Feng has wine right now! Bring on the wine!"

Gu Niantong hurriedly brought the drinks up from backstage. Immediately, Fusu took the initiative to pour drinks for his uncle and Qin Feng, saying, "Come on, drink!"

"Everyone says the prince of Qin is generous and forthright; he truly lives up to his reputation!"

"Haha! I've actually been waiting for you here today, Uncle!"

"Really? I was thinking you were coming to ask me for fish!"

"What kind of fish do you want? I'm waiting for my uncle here mainly because I was worried he wouldn't have enough fish, so I'm planning to bring him a few more!"

"You're too kind, young master! Please have some fish!"

"Fusu, let me toast you! Let me tell you, my relationship with Young Master Qin is absolutely rock-solid! Ever since he came to Xianyang, we've shared joys and sorrows countless times! So many times Young Master Qin has defied Father, and I've been the one to stand up for him, even telling Father to beat me rather than Young Master Qin! You tell me, isn't that a rock-solid relationship!"

"Young master, you are truly magnanimous! Your uncle toasts you!"

"When I talk about being beaten, I feel so wronged, my eyes well up with tears! Uncle, you have no idea how wronged I feel..."

"A man doesn't easily shed tears, young master, please don't be upset, let's drink slowly!"

"Cheers, Uncle! From today onwards, you are the uncle of both Fusu and Qin Feng!"

"Come on, let's drink!"

"Yes, drink slowly. There's another table at my father's place in two days. Before we leave on the third day, my father wants to invite my uncle, Qin Feng, to have a drink at the palace!"

"You call me Uncle, so I can't refuse you. My clan has some secrets passed down through generations. I'll teach you a couple of simple fishing techniques, and you'll never have to worry about food and drink again!"

"Uncle, is this fishing skill impressive?"

"It's more than just amazing! This fishing technique was first passed down from Jiang Ziya, the Grand Duke of Taigong!"

"No wonder! Ever since we last met, Uncle's fishing skills have been etched in my mind, and I've been eager to ask him how to fish! I'm incredibly grateful that Uncle is willing to teach me!"

"Fishing is a complex art! Let me tell you, catching fish is all about timing, location, and luck—you can't miss a single one! If you want to learn how to fish, you have to learn how to tame animals! I mean totems! I think we're destined to meet, so I'll teach you a couple of animal taming techniques. You can use them to train totems or fish, and they'll be incredibly effective!"

"Really? That's wonderful! To tell you the truth, Uncle, I have a black bird that throws me around every day!"

"You should have come to me with this! I may not be good at much else, but I'm a real expert at dealing with these beasts! The Black Bird is a fast-talking, flat-feathered animal! You can't spoil it; you have to starve it! Especially when it's weak from hunger, toughen it up! Ever heard of taming an eagle? It's the same principle! Back then, those swans from the Jixia Academy were disobedient, and it was my dad who tamed them into submission! My family has a long tradition of this! We handle them like it's nothing! Look at Qin Feng, he's one of my clansmen too, look how well he handles that totem dragon! You should learn from your uncle, that's the right way!"

"I trust your uncle! He taught me..."

For a moment, Fusu seemed to be treating Qin Feng like an outsider, as if he were a close nephew.

Qin Feng was completely dumbfounded as he watched his uncle vividly describe the key points of fishing techniques to Fusu.

Wasn't Fusu here to cause trouble?

Now I eat more of my own fish than anyone else!

Half of the three fish ended up in Fusu's stomach!

This meal led to the discovery of an uncle!

Also, do these times you've been beaten have anything to do with me?

You just accidentally walked into the line of fire. If Brother Zheng doesn't shoot you, who else will he shoot?

What do you mean by "getting beaten up for my sake"?

Are you telling my parents what I'm doing?

You're such a cutie!

Qin Feng took a swig of his drink and looked at his uncle. The thought of having to spend every day and night with his uncle made Qin Feng feel immense pressure!

At the same time, Qin Feng admired Master Meng even more!

I thought that Master Meng had already cunningly enslaved me, but I never expected that Master Meng's scheme was even bigger. He even used me to lure out my uncle!
