"Pei, you must not expose yourself. Otherwise, you will lose the last function. Your father may immediately marry you. If you can pretend to be Su Erya and stand in front of outsiders, you don't have to worry about marriage. "
Su Zipei heard her mother's words and she came back to her senses.
At this time, Su Huanli said, "Zipei, you made so many mistakes before. I didn't blame you. This time, you must perform well in front of the Zhu and Yang Families. Don't weaken the reputation of our Su Family. "
Seeing that her father's tone was gentle, Su Zipei felt a little better. She nodded obediently and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will be careful."
Seeing that, Su Huanli's eyes were more gentle. Children always grew up. After experiencing so many things, Zipei finally knew to think for her family.
"Your second sister's talent is peerless, she's a rare genius. She may become a superior female chef in the future. You can't compare with her. But recently, the Dasu Town is not very safe. You have to protect your Second Sister and don't let her get hurt on behalf of her. You are biological sisters. Your Second Sister remembers your kindness. In the future, it is very likely that you will marry into an official's family and become the wife of an official. "
Su Huanli tirelessly taught her, but he didn't find that Su Zipei lowered her head and her face was distorted after hearing these words.
"I am just a substitute for Su Erya?
Are you kidding me?
Are we biological sisters?
She is a bastard picked up by my mother!
Why is she superior and I can't compare with her?
I am a human! Not a mask! "
Su Zipei almost roared out the origin of Su Erya. But this sentence lingered in her heart and was abruptly interrupted by Su Huanli.
"Zipei, are you listening?"
Su Huanli's voice was slightly stern, and his tone was higher. Su Zipei was shocked and broke into a cold sweat instantly. She said softly, "Yes, dad. I understand."
"Well, that's good."
Su Huanli put away his majesty and rewarded her with money. That was the end of the warning. The Baiwei Building, which was agreed with the Zhu and Yang Families, was not far away.
On this day, the entire Dasu Town market smelled the aroma from the Baiwei Building. Rumors gradually spread among ordinary people that the Baiwei Building was closed to study the treasures of the Baiwei Building. Now the new dishes were ready and the Baiwei Building was going to reopen!
At noon that day, Zhu Rongkun and Yang Li left with bruised and swollen faces. Some people were curious as to why the two Patriarchs fought, but they were told that it was because of a dish!
Su Zipei collapsed on the ground and looked at the messy room. Dry yellow mud was scattered everywhere, and waves of extremely tempting fragrance lingered in the air, making her salivate.
"So the aroma I smelled the other day was Second Sister's new dish."
Today, her performance was extremely poor and she almost didn't have the temperament of a genius. But in front of the Beggar's Chicken, no one paid attention to her. The two masters in the room became hooligans who fought on the street for this dish. Nobody remembered Su Zipei who was kneeling in the corner!
"Hurry up and stand up! If you continue to perform so poorly in the future, how will you be able to protect your Second Sister? "
Su Huanli reprimanded her sternly, but he couldn't stop smiling. Although no one mentioned the profit during the whole process, the last 10% of the profit had already been settled.
Su Zipei got up silently and followed Su Huanli back like a wood. She didn't say a word during the whole process. After returning to the wing-room of the West Courtyard and seeing Zhu Yan, she burst into tears.
Zhu Yan hugged Su Zipei distressingly and comforted her softly. After a long time, Su Zipei intermittently explained the whole story.
"Su Huanli, you even used my daughter as a shield!!"
Zhu Yan gnashed her teeth, and her voice changed because of anger. Her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were entangled together, and she felt very painful. She vaguely noticed this, but she didn't expect that Su Huanli would hit the nail on the head to tell Zipei. How could Zipei, who had always been arrogant, stand it!
"Zipei, don't cry!"
Zhu Yan tightly grasped Su Zipei's weak shoulders, and there seemed to be flames in her eyes, "Don't forget that one day you will be successful. What is a female chef? She is just a tool! When you become a princess or a general's wife. She is just a servant who cooks for you! "
Zhu Yan's comfort was really effective. Su Zipei gradually stopped crying and asked, "Mother … what should I do now?"
"A little impatience will spoil great plans. Endure these days. When I find the owner of the jade pendant, we will have good days."
Zhu Yan's eyes flashed, "You continue to listen to your father. Only in this way can you delay the time and not get married! And if you do this, you will definitely get in touch with the business of the Baiwei Building in the future, which is also a practice for you. The flowers in the greenhouse are always useless. The intrigues of the rich and powerful families are even more fierce. I will start to train you now. "
"Well! I will listen to you, mother. "Su Zipei rekindled the hope in her heart and even had a trace of joy.
Su Erya, Su Erya, even if you have an extraordinary family background and excellent talent, the final winner can only be me. Let me see when you, a frog at the bottom of the well, can jump for a long time!
Su Li, who didn't know the secret of the jade pendant, was obediently pouring tea for Qi Xianqing who came back in the study.
"Erya, your talent in cooking is really beyond my imagination."
When Su Li returned to the Dasu Town, Qi Xianqing almost got the news at the first time. At this moment, he looked extremely serious and said in a deep voice, "But … the identity of the cook is low. After all, he is a mortal. You must remember not to lose sight of the big picture for the small and delay your practice. Only when your cultivation is high can you be detached from the world and control your own destiny. Even the king of a country, you don't need to pay attention to him. "
"But Master, it is written in the book that the people in Jianghu can't compare with the imperial court. How can they be detached from the world?" Su Li pretended to ask.
Qi Xianqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The books you read are all controlled by the imperial court. How can they say bad things about themselves? The country is indeed a giant and ordinary people can't insult it. However, those who have practiced to be detached from the world will not be restricted by the imperial court at all. Instead, the imperial court will be afraid of them. Can you guess why? "
Su Li's eyes were clear and she immediately replied, "I see. It is written in the book that 'those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes'. The imperial court has many scruples, but the wanderers in Jianghu have no fixed residence and almost have no weaknesses."
Qi Xianqing was stunned suddenly. He didn't expect that Su Erya, who had never been out of the house, had such sharp eyes and saw the key at once.
"You are really smart, so you should also be such a detached person. Look at those who are entangled by the world. Which one of them is not restrained everywhere and trapped by others? Only like your master, you can be free and unrestrained. "
Su Li was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Master, are you practicing the Heartless Way?"
Qi Xianqing's pupils shrank instantly. Su Li said again, "I read in the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction that if you have no scruples, you must abandon your emotions. That is the Heartless Way. But I still have my parents and my elder brother and younger brother. How can I abandon them? "
After she said this, Su Li didn't get Qi Xianqing's answer for a long time.
After a long time, Qi Xianqing smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. He forgot that Erya was still a fourteen-year-old little girl, which was the age when she just stepped into the world of mortals. How could she abandon everything like him who had stepped into the coffin?
"Our paths are indeed different due to our different encounters …"
At this moment, Qi Xianqing actually faintly comprehended. If he had the sixth hurdle of the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction, maybe he could break through immediately and add decades of life.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Forget it. As her master, he had already brought Su Li into the sect. At most, he would help her pave a better path. As for how Su Li would practice in the future, let her do it herself.
Thinking of this, Qi Xianqing took out a yellowed booklet from his arms. The title was Nothing Strange. Su Li was slightly shocked when she saw it. She didn't expect that the old guy could get such a high-level disguise skill, which was almost the same as what she practiced in the previous life.
Qi Xianqing put the booklet on the table and explained carefully, "There are different levels of disguise skills in Jianghu. The lowest level is to change the facial features with herbs to achieve the purpose of disguise. But there are many flaws in this method, and it is easy to be seen through by others. The middle level method is to refine the disguise elixir with herbs. If you meet someone whose cultivation is lower than your own, it will not be seen through in general. The last one is this thing. "
Qi Xianqing pointed to the booklet and continued, "Anyone can practice the secret disguise skill. When it is practiced to a high level, it is impossible to be seen through unless the opponent has the secret pupil method. However, it is difficult to practice the secret disguise skill. Only a few people in Jianghu can reach the level of perfection. This disguise secret skill is called 'Nothing Strange'. It's one of the better secret skills. Take it and cultivate it quickly to disguise your appearance. "
"Yes, master."
Su Li took it and sighed in her heart. It was really different to practice with a master. She was alone in the previous life and suffered a lot. It took her a whole year to make arrangements to get a Beyond Recognition with many defects. But in this life, it was almost effortless.
"There are still things to be busy in the Baicao Tang. You should practice diligently. Don't be lazy. I will come to check your reading and practice progress tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"
"I see. Take care, master."
After explaining the disguise skill, Qi Xianqing got up and left. Su Li hurriedly saw him off.
That night, Su Li didn't sleep all night and finished studying Nothing Strange. Compared with Beyond Recognition, Nothing Strange was more practical.
The Unrecognizable Skill could make people ugly and their facial features distorted, almost disabled. The Nothing Unusual Skill could make people look like ordinary people. If the practice was successful, even the most handsome person would become ordinary. This disguise skill was undoubtedly tailored for Su Li by Qi Xianqing.
There were many similarities between the disguise skill. She just needed to get through some hidden acupoints. Su Li had rich experience and wanted to experiment. But it was already late. She could only go to the school of the East Courtyard with the booklet.
In order not to cause trouble, she walked to the East Courtyard with a veil. Qi Xianqing praised her secretly.
It was said that human nature was hard to change. Some characters would not change with age. The happier one was in Jianghu, the faster he died. Su Li was cautious and didn't want to cause trouble, which was suitable for her to wander in Jianghu.
Although she was kind and simple now, she would naturally improve when she encountered more things in the future. Qi Xianqing had always been very lucky to find such a suitable successor in the last years of his life.
After the class, Qi Xianqing checked the progress of Su Li's practice and was very satisfied. It seemed that after half a year, when his apprentice's cultivation reached the third hurdle, he could officially teach her the medical circle.
