Chapter 10: Little Bamboo House

Su Youyi, who was attentively listening to Sect Master Fang's explanation of Liang Yi's situation, was somewhat baffled.

"My destiny line has been changed by my senior brother?"

Before she could ask any questions, Fang Zhi continued:

"You don't need to ask me for details, I only know the change is for the better. Although I can divine the future, there are things I can't foresee, and the ability to discern your senior brother's situation mainly comes from the fact he's currently an ordinary person, and there's a kind of mysterious power in his future that I can't see through. You, on the other hand, are different. You've already reached the peak of the Third Realm, so divining your future is completely different from that of your senior brother's."

"Oh." Su Youyi listened with disappointment drooping her ears, feeling aggrieved.

Liang Yi couldn't help but laugh at this gesture, and he subconsciously reached out to pat her head, saying, "Not knowing the future is quite nice. Life would be boring if we knew everything ahead of time, right? Isn't the meaning of life found in the unknown?"

Liang Yi speculated that his junior sister was destined to become the number one female demon in the world in just a few years, but his transmigration this time had prevented her senior brother's death, meaning the future would definitely not unfold in the predetermined direction.

Fang Zhi looked at Liang Yi approvingly. That was well said. Although he was proficient in divination, he wouldn't divine everything in advance; knowing the outcome beforehand would indeed make things boring. If he weren't afraid of getting beaten up, he would have liked to take Liang Yi as his disciple.

"Damn Chen Hua, once I make my breakthrough, I'll definitely fight back." The ruler of Zhou Tian thought fiercely.

"I don't care about the future, as long as my senior brother is there," Su Youyi said earnestly.

She had just thought about her destiny line being changed by her senior brother; could it be in that regard? Her senior brother used to take care of her since she was young, treating her like his real little sister, and she had the urge but never the courage to go beyond that. But now that her senior brother has lost his memory, wouldn't that concern be gone? Maybe the original destiny line meant her senior brother was just a senior brother, but now...

"Hehehe, drool drool." Thinking of this, Su Youyi smiled foolishly, almost drooling, and quickly hugged her senior brother's arm to wipe it off.

If Liang Yi knew what his junior sister was thinking, he would probably reward her with a hard smack on the head:

You've got a bold idea, and I've got a full set of punishments.

"Ew, gross, get off!" Liang Yi, not having telepathy, naturally didn't know what his junior sister was thinking, but seeing her action, he pretended to be disgusted and pushed her head away.

"No, no, let me hug you a little longer." Su Youyi wouldn't let go; she had almost decided on the names for their kids.

With an expressionless face, Fang Zhi sat in front of the two, feeling a bit overwhelmed and quite annoyed.

"Got anything else? If not, get lost!" Fang Zhi couldn't take it anymore, considering to lure a dog in just to kill it; who could stand this? He unceremoniously issued the eviction order.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Fang, for this time!" Liang Yi was also quite embarrassed and hurriedly stood up to bow to Fang Zhi, with Su Youyi following suit.

"You don't have to thank me; actually, this time I've taken advantage of you. After observing your unprecedented Star Chart, I've gained some insight and I think I might have a breakthrough, so I'll help you out once in the future. And I just got here today; otherwise, I wouldn't have ignored your situation. Lastly, tell your master to clean up and wait for me to come beat him up."

After finishing his speech, Fang Zhi didn't wait for Liang Yi and the others to respond. With a wave of his hand, he teleported Liang Yi and Su Youyi to the entrance of the alley.

After the two disappeared, Fang Zhi silently laughed to himself, used the All Sky Star Map to sense the location of Youdao Mountain, and casually sent a streak of starlight to transmit the situation of Liang Yi and Su Youyi to Chen Hua.

············

"Senior Brother?" Su Youyi saw her senior brother seemingly in a daze, and immediately took Liang Yi's hand, asking.

"I feel like I've held my senior brother's hand more times these past few days than in the past decade." Su Youyi thought shyly.

"Oh, I was thinking about how to face Master. After all, we will have to return to the sect sooner or later." Liang Yi looked at the bustling crowd at the end of the alley and honestly shared his thoughts with Su Youyi.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, Master is very good to us! If he knew about your amnesia, he would surely find a way to help you recover." Su Youyi was originally cheerful in consoling Liang Yi but became conflicted towards the end. If Master could help senior brother regain his memory, should she be happy or not?

The more he spent time with her, the cuter Liang Yi found his junior sister, and he reached out both hands to gently rub her cheeks. They were tender and smooth, very comforting.

"Girls should smile more, frowning makes you age faster. I don't want my junior sister to look older than me."

Feeling the temperature under his palms rising, Liang Yi let go promptly. He feared that if he continued, his hands might get burned.

"Hee-hee-hee, Senior Brother's hands are so comfortable to rub." Su Youyi held her cheeks with both hands and slipped back into her smitten state.

"Eh, eh, eh, junior sister, please stop with your provocative language, don't make your words so ambiguous, okay?" Liang Yi noticed the strange looks from some passersby, wondering how such a handsome young man could be a good-looking pervert...

He quickly prevented his junior sister from saying anything more shocking and pulled her into the crowd.

However, it wasn't long before Su Youyi noticed that there were many girls eyeing her senior brother along the way, obviously lusting after him.

Considering that her senior brother was still a normal person, if he caught the attention of some female demon, trouble might arise. So, she decided to find a place for her senior brother to learn the sect's cultivation techniques to gain some ability to defend himself.

She then pulled Liang Yi to the inn operated by Little Bamboo House in Pan Yang Town and entered.

It wasn't until they were about to rent a room that Liang Yi realized his junior sister really was coming down the mountain for the first time – she didn't have a single penny on her, so it was up to him to foot the bill.

After entering the room, Liang Yi belatedly remembered the meal he ate at Sect Master Fang's and how he didn't pay.

"Round it up, and I've made a billion, huh? Sect Master Fang really is a great person," Liang Yi exclaimed, then asked his junior sister.

"Junior Sister, what are we doing here?"

Of course, Liang Yi knew about Little Bamboo House. One of the top powerhouses in "Mystical Mechanism," their primary profession was intelligence dealing, and their secondary profession was running inns spread across the world, whose cuisine was unmatched. The reason Liang Yi could answer Fang Zhi's question previously was tied to this.

He practiced his cooking skills on an alternate account, used a valuable recommendation, and successfully became a disciple of the chef in charge of spiritual meals at Little Bamboo House, hailed as the world's top chef. He accidentally learned the answer to that question after gaining enough favorability.

Sect Master Fang couldn't cook at all; his daily meals were all sourced from this master chef. Fang Zhi once saved the chef's life, leading to a deep friendship with Sect Master Fang, hence the chef let Fang Zhi have his way.

The truth brought tears to Liang Yi's eyes – truly, all the big shots are crafty. What does the phrase "How do you think I made this dish?" mean? It just leads the players astray, and nobody ever thought that the dish was not actually made by Fang Zhi.
