Your Grandfather's Intimidation

On the third day after Gu Ling arrived on the island, the lakeside cottage was built.

Qiu Cong worked there whenever he had time, day or night. He initially thought that Gu Ling didn't understand, but later found that Gu Ling was more knowledgeable and more efficient than him.

Cen Man also helped a lot within her ability.

Su Liang only went there when it was not too hot during the day, and she was not allowed to do anything.

The lakeside cottage was surrounded by a half-person bamboo fence, which was made by Gu Ling himself, with a unique design, and looked much more beautiful than Qiu Cong's small courtyard.

There was only one room in the cottage for living. There was also a kitchen, toilet, and firewood shed, everything else was available.

Qiu Cong originally said that he would not build a kitchen here, and asked Qiuyue to make it and send it to them directly.

Gu Ling insisted.

At this moment, Su Liang was being held by Gu Ling to look at the new house. Qiu Cong couldn't help but say, "Su Liang is pregnant, so she can't light the fire and cook next, she will be tired."

Su Liang smiled, "Master, don't worry, I won't do it, let him do it."

Qiu Cong was stunned, and Cen Man was also a little confused, "Are you asking Gu Ling to cook? Can he cook?"

It is rare for men in this world to know how to cook, especially the noble sons from famous families.

Su Liang said calmly, "My husband knows everything!"

Qiu Cong and Cen Man shook their heads and sighed at the same time, thinking that this apprentice had lost his mind because of Gu Ling's fascination...

Qiu Yue was asked to divide a portion of each ingredient and take it to the lakeside cottage, and was stunned immediately, "Miss Su wants to cook by herself?"

Qiu Cong snorted, "She said Gu Ling would do it. I will watch it."

If Su Liang secretly cooked for Gu Ling behind their backs, Qiu Cong would have a good "chat" with Gu Ling.

Nangong Qian, who was basking in the sun not far away, was surprised, "Grandpa, Master's husband can cook?"

Qiu Cong walked over, picked up Nangong Qian, and sent her back to her room, "Don't worry about them, we've split up!"

But Qiu Cong, who said "split up", quietly left the courtyard and walked towards the lake, intending to see who would cook with his own eyes.

...

Su Liang had just sat down on the small stool and added a piece of firewood when she was pulled up by Gu Ling, "It's uncomfortable to sit like this." He wanted to send her back to her room.

Su Liang refused, "No, I want to stay here. We haven't cooked together for a long time."

Gu Liang glanced around and asked Su Liang to wait. He went back to the room and moved the bamboo rattan chair that Qiu Cong made for Su Liang. It was padded with a soft cotton pad and placed by the open window in the kitchen.

Su Liang sat in the position arranged by Gu Ling for her. It was a little far from the stove, so she wouldn't be smoked by the smoke. Looking out the window was the green and fresh bamboo forest.

Su Liang felt a shadow flash through the bamboo forest, but when he looked again, it was gone. He thought it was his eyes that were blurry. He thought that if someone came, Gu Ling would definitely notice it.

It was Qiu Cong.

He hid in the bamboo forest and saw Su Liang sitting by the kitchen window, but he couldn't see Gu Ling.

After a while, smoke came out of the kitchen, and Su Liang had a teacup in her hand. She was drinking water.

After a while, Qiu Cong smelled a faint fragrance, but Su Liang still sat there.

Qiu Cong waited patiently and finally saw Su Liang stand up, and then soon saw her walk out of the kitchen, followed by Gu Ling, carrying two plates.

The table in the yard was made of a large stone that Gu Ling brought back from the beach. It was polished smooth and flat, and the stools were made of bamboo.

When Su Liang and Gu Ling were ready to eat, Qiu Cong squinted and watched to make sure that the food was not made by Su Liang.

Su Liang had just tasted a piece of spareribs and was about to praise Gu Ling for his better cooking skills when he saw Qiu Cong walk in with a big bamboo shoot in his hand and his eyes fell on the food.

The courtyard was filled with tempting aromas. Qiu Cong was a little surprised when he saw the color of the food. It looked like Su Liang made it, even more exquisite.

"I don't know if it's edible, I'll give it to you." Qiu Cong put the bamboo shoots on the table.

"Master, do you want to try Gu Ling's cooking skills?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

Qiu Cong was about to sit down when he heard Gu Ling say, "Not enough."

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle, and Qiu Cong turned around with a dark face and strode away.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Master, I was thinking that after he ate the food you cooked, I would let him teach you the tricks of the Luoying sword technique."

Gu Ling's face was calm, "Just teach me."

"I'm not good at that sword technique." Su Liang said, "It's better for him to teach you."

But Gu Ling didn't give Qiu Cong any face, which made Su Liang's plan difficult to carry out.

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Ling picked up another piece of ribs for Su Liang.

...

Cen Man heard footsteps, Qiu Yue said that the grandfather was back and it was time to eat.

After Su Liang moved out, Cen Man moved to her original room.

"I thought you were going to stay there to eat." Cen Man said.

Qiu Cong snorted lightly, looking at the dishes made by Qiu Yue, he felt that they were far worse than Su Liang's.

Cen Man asked again, "Did Su Liang cook? Or does Gu Ling really know how to cook?"

"That kid can cook." Qiu Cong told the truth.

Cen Man was quite surprised, "He really knows everything. And he's so handsome, no wonder Xiao Liang likes him."

"You can't see it." Qiu Cong snorted.

Cen Man smiled, "He is a recognized beauty in the world. Old Qiu, you did something wrong before, and it's normal for Gu Ling to be dissatisfied with you. I think you should apologize to him first."

Qiu Cong's face darkened, "Su Liang didn't say anything!"

Cen Man shook her head, "Xiao Liang became your disciple because of your expediency. You forced them to separate twice. If Gu Ling doesn't hold a grudge and pretends that nothing happened, do you think it's good? Why did Xiao Liang agree with you that you would no longer be master and apprentice after leaving the island? You were wrong, but you just admitted it, didn't apologize, and didn't promise not to make mistakes for your grandchildren in the future. Why do you ask them to treat you sincerely?"

Qiu Cong slammed the chopsticks on the table, got up and left without eating.

Cen Man sighed, "Why bother."

...

Su Liang and Gu Ling finally lived a leisurely and peaceful life again. Although they knew that they would not live here for a long time, they could still have full happiness by living in the present.

Gu Ling would go to the yard over there to fetch water when Su Liang went to give Nangong Qian acupuncture, because there was no well in the lakeside cottage.

At other times, Cen Man would occasionally come to talk to Su Liang, sit for a while and leave, and would not stay for dinner.

Su Liang was a little curious about Cen Man's past. She must be a person with a story. She asked a lot of questions about Su Liang and always mentioned Qiu Cong, but avoided talking about her own affairs.

But Su Liang did not explore it. She could feel that Cen Man was sincere and kind, and the rest was not important.

After not seeing Qiu Cong for two days, Su Liang knew that he had gone shopping again and had not returned yet.

Another day later, Qiu Cong returned and asked Qiuyue to deliver the things for Su Liang and Gu Ling. He also found Cen Man and talked about the situation outside, asking her to tell Su Liang.

"You went to Jiaye City?" Cen Man was a little surprised. Just to buy things, there was no need to go to Jiaye City.

Qiu Cong nodded, "There are snacks that Qian'er likes to eat there."

Cen Man knew he was lying, but she refused to admit that she went there for Su Liang, "I don't know anything about people and things outside, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly, so you go and tell Xiao Liang."

Qiu Cong wanted to say something, but Cen Man went into the room and closed the door.

Qiu Cong frowned and stood for a while, then turned around and saw Qiuyue coming back from delivering things.

"Grandpa, the things have been delivered to Miss Su. Young Master Gu made a little rabbit out of bamboo, it's very beautiful!" Qiuyue said with a smile.

Qiu Cong didn't say anything and went back to his room.

Qiuyue felt puzzled, and felt that Qiu Cong seemed to be angry. Who was he angry with? No one messed with him!

Qiuyue felt that Gu Ling was a very magical person. He was obviously a beautiful young man from a noble family, but he could cook well, fetch water and wash clothes, and he could do everything very well. He was also clever and skillful, and at the same time, his martial arts was very high, which was incredibly perfect.

Qiuyue thought that it was no wonder that her young lady was fascinated.

But to Qiuyue, Gu Ling was like the bright moon in the sky. She knew that her status was low, and she didn't dare to have even a trace of improper thoughts.

But she felt that Gu Ling and Su Liang were simply a match made in heaven, and the so-called "fairy couple" was just like this.

Qiuyue didn't dare to mention these to Nangong Qian, and couldn't help but talk to the gentle Cen Man, using all the beautiful words she knew.

Finally, Qiuyue mentioned Qiu Cong, "Grandpa seems to be in a bad mood, I don't know what's wrong."

Cen Man shook her head, "No one provokes him." He is angry with himself.

In the evening, Su Liang and Gu Ling were having dinner, and a figure appeared outside the fence, watching them quietly.

Su Liang was imagining life with a baby when he suddenly saw Qiu Cong. He was stunned for a moment, "Master, is there something wrong?"

Qiu Cong didn't mean to come in, so he talked to Su Liang through a fence, "Qian'er's body still can't leave you?"

Su Liang stood up and walked over, "It's stable now. The intervals between acupuncture are increased. After this month, it won't be needed. Just take medicine and recuperate."

Qiu Cong nodded, "Okay. Then after this month, if you want to leave, go ahead."

Su Liang didn't expect Qiu Cong to come here specifically to say this, but he was still very happy to hear it, "Let's discuss whether we should leave."

"I'm sorry for what happened before." Qiu Cong looked at Su Liang and said.

"I know that's not what Master meant." Su Liang said.

"If he wants to learn the Falling Flower Sword Technique, I can teach him." Qiu Cong glanced at Gu Ling who was eating.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "That's great! I was just about to tell Master about this, but I can't see Master these days."

Su Liang waved to Gu Ling to come over.

Gu Ling put down his chopsticks, walked over, and naturally put his arm around Su Liang's waist. He liked this position, and he could hug her with just one hook.

"Master just said that he could teach you the trick of the Falling Flower Sword Technique. You should learn from Master tonight." Su Liang felt that this matter was very important. It was rare for Qiu Cong to take the initiative to apologize and show goodwill, and he couldn't miss it.

The sky gradually darkened, Qiu Cong squinted at Gu Ling, and Gu Ling also looked at him.

Qiu Cong thought, if Gu Ling refused, forget it, he had never tried to please anyone so much in his life, and Nangong Lin had always wanted to learn but he didn't teach him.

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded indifferently.

Qiu Cong snorted, "I'm doing this for the grandchild in Su Liang's belly, and I'm afraid you won't be able to protect them."

The truth.

Gu Ling said, "Me too."

Qiu Cong was speechless and turned to leave with a cold snort, but Su Liang stopped him, "Master, wait a minute!"

Qiu Cong turned around and saw Su Liang returned to the table. He came back quickly and handed Qiu Cong a plump white bun with a smile, "This is the meat bun made by Gu Ling, Master, try it. Just consider it as a thank you for teaching him swordsmanship."

Qiu Cong glared at Su Liang, "My swordsmanship is worth a bun?"

Su Liang's smile deepened, "This is a bun made by my beautiful husband. Ordinary people can't eat it. Master, forget it."

Qiu Cong snatched it, "Why not?" Then he took the bun and walked away angrily.

Entering the bamboo forest, Qiu Cong took a bite of the bun, narrowed his eyes, and finished it in a few bites. He said to himself unhappily, "Only one, too stingy!"

That night, Gu Ling planned to wait until Su Liang fell asleep before looking for Qiu Cong.

Qiu Cong waited and waited but didn't see anyone. Finally, he took the initiative to come to the small courtyard by the lake.

After sitting in the courtyard for a while, he saw Gu Ling come out.

"If you don't want to learn, just say it!" Qiu Cong was really upset.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Be quiet, don't disturb her."

Qiu Cong: ...

Su Liang's Luoying swordsmanship was taught by Gu Ling. His foundation was limited and he could no longer improve.

But Gu Ling learned the swordsmanship from Nangong Lin, and his strength was no less than his.

After Qiu Cong and Gu Ling had a fight, he had to say, "You have a high level of understanding." The original sword technique has been integrated and Gu Ling has his own newly created sword moves, which are quite close to the real tricks, but it is still a little short.

Qiu Cong did not waste words and simply demonstrated the tricks, "Do you remember it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Ling doing it again, exactly the same, and at a fast speed.

Qiu Cong inexplicably felt that this should be his real apprentice... But knowing that Gu Ling didn't like him, he couldn't say it.

"I will come to fight with you again at this time tomorrow." Qiu Cong left after he finished speaking.

When he stopped at the edge of the bamboo forest and turned around, he saw a graceful figure by the lake, with sword light flashing, and Gu Ling was still practicing.

Qiu Cong muttered, "What a monster."

When Gu Ling finished practicing sword and returned to the room, Su Liang woke up.

"How is it?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling stroked Su Liang's hair, "It's OK."

"If Nangong Lin knew that his father-in-law taught you the trick of Luoying Sword for a meat bun, would he be angry to death?" Su Liang chuckled.

Gu Ling shook his head, "It's not for the meat bun."

Su Liang rubbed her belly, "The baby is just a little meat bun. We don't know if it's a son or a daughter yet."

"It's all good, I like it." Gu Ling patted Su Liang gently, "Go to sleep."

...

The next day, Cen Man learned that Qiu Cong had apologized to Su Liang and Gu Ling, and taught Gu Ling the trick of swordsmanship, and was relieved. She really didn't want the current harmony to be broken, but fortunately Qiu Cong was not confused.

As for the news that Qiu Cong had inquired about in Jiaye City before, there was nothing special. There was no fighting in the Three Kingdoms, and there was no sign of war.

Then Qiu Cong would spar with Gu Ling by the lake every night. He was stronger, but Gu Ling's swordsmanship improved rapidly under his suppression.

This was also a very fulfilling thing for Qiu Cong.

On the other hand, Situ Jing, who was almost blind due to poisoning, had rushed to Liuxian River day and night accompanied by Nangong Lin. Not far away was Jiaye City, where his life had a major turning point.

He already knew that Chen's father and mother were sent back to the capital of Gan State, but decided to completely let go of the family affection that did not exist but was his wishful thinking. The real Chen Yun and Chen Xiao were both dead, and there was no room for any easing and repair of some relationships.

The two could go directly to the sea from Liuxian River without having to go to Jiaye City. But Nangong Lin insisted and said to go and see the situation.

Coincidentally, they secretly entered the city, approached the Lin family, and ran into Lin Xi who was about to go home.

"What are you going to do?" Situ Jing's eyes were wrapped with a black cloth to avoid further injury.

Nangong Lin sneered, "I'll ask your best friend to accompany you. In case that girl Su Liang plays tricks!"

Situ Jing subconsciously grabbed Nangong Lin's arm.

Nangong Lin snorted, "Jing'er, at this point, you don't think Lin Qi still treats you as a friend, right? Wake up! The most important thing is to cure your eyes, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

Situ Jing's face froze and he let go of his hand.

With Nangong Lin's strength, it would not be difficult to catch Lin Qi.

Situ Jing waited for about a quarter of an hour, and Nangong Lin came back.

"How is it?" Situ Jing asked with a frown.

Nangong Lin snorted, "It's easy. Your friend's martial arts is far inferior to you and Gu Ling."

"Is he... okay?" Situ Jing didn't hear Lin Qi's voice.

"Knock her out. Otherwise she would have screamed." Nangong Lin said, "Take her there and give her to Su Liang as a gift. With your grandfather's threat, how dare she not treat you? Let's go!"
