After a while, Ning Cheng finished frying all the dishes, and the table was already full of delicious food!

And the night just fell, and the bustling imperial capital was lively again, and thousands of lights were lit up.

Xiao Xia and Xiao Zhongling stared at the food on the table with their eyes, their eyes lit up, and their expressions were the same.

Ning Cheng raised his glass, and then said, "Everyone, let's have a drink." ”

"Good!" Xiaodong and Bei Xiaofang took the lead in raising their glasses.

Then there was Xiao Xia, who picked up the cup quite reluctantly, followed by Xiao Zhongling, although she didn't drink, but Ning Cheng also poured her juice.

Everyone touched their glasses, and this small banquet began!

Xiao Xia was originally a little restrained, but soon she was attracted by the various delicacies on the table, and she was already completely familiar with the back, and sat down with Xiao Zhongling, and the two snacks looked like sisters.

"Ning Cheng, tonight's meal is not bad, you can barely eat it." Xiao Xia said with a full burp.

"That's good." Ning Cheng nodded, and the next thing to deal with the aftermath was handed over to Xiaodong and Bei Xiaofang, and the two of them seemed to have to compare things like washing dishes to be comfortable.

Xiao Xia sat in the yard and looked up at the summer starry sky, this place is not the same as in the forest, the forest will be filled with insect chirping at night, as if nature is playing music, but this place is different, although it is a little noisy, but Xiao Xia sincerely likes it here.

"What's a person doing in a daze?" Ning Cheng moved a chair over, and then sat next to Xiao Xia.

"Nope." Xiao Xia shook her head, but it was rare that she didn't say anything more.

Ning Cheng nodded, and then said, "Xiao Xia, in the future, if you want, you can come here to eat every day, just like your own home." Ning Cheng said.

"Really?" Xiao Xia's eyes lit up, but then returned to normal, pouted and said, "You won't be perfunctory to me again, will you?" ”

"It's not." Ning Cheng shook his head.

"Okay then, trust you once." Xiao Xia nodded, she was still very happy in her heart!

Ning Cheng's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a strange call.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Cheng still picked up the phone.

"Hey, who's that?" Ning Cheng asked.

"It's me, Cao Shuang."

"Cao Shuang?" Ning Cheng said in surprise.

Xiao Xia on the side pouted, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he stepped aside.

"Ning Cheng, I'm sorry for what happened last time, I haven't contacted you since I returned to Cao's house." Cao Shuang said on the phone.

"It's fine." Ning Cheng said.

He really didn't care, after all, the most uncomfortable person in his heart now should be Cao Shuang.

"Ghost Hand should have told you, right?" Cao Shuang hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"Having said that, carry out the mission... It seems that my strength is really good, and I can even make our third-ranked instructor Cao Shuang worry about it. Ning Cheng quipped.

"Well, I'll go to the Wolf's Tooth Headquarters tomorrow, so you can come too." Cao Shuang said.

"Got it." Ning Cheng nodded.

"Okay, that won't bother you." Cao Shuang hung up the phone and sighed, it looked like it was really time to make a break.

On the other side, Ning Cheng hung up the phone, and could only shake his head with a wry smile, it seemed that Cao Shuang didn't know that Cao Wushu had come to the courtyard.

"Whose phone is it?" Xiao Xia didn't know when she had come over and asked.

"Cao Shuang's." Ning Cheng didn't hide it.

"Oh." Xiao Xia nodded and said, "I know a little bit about the Cao family, and it is estimated that Cao Wushu's body is really not good this time, otherwise he would not sacrifice Cao Shuang." ”

Ning Cheng didn't tell Xiao Xia what he knew, after all, this can be regarded as some secrets of the Cao family, if he rashly told Xiao Xia, it would be disrespectful to the Cao family, after all, Cao Wushu believed that Ning Cheng would only tell him.

In fact, Xiao Xia never thought of helping the Cao family from the beginning, let alone Cao Shuang, she didn't plan to go to the troubled waters of the ancient martial arts family, after all, her identity was relatively special.

But I don't know why, she always feels that she has fallen in love with Ning Cheng by magic, which makes her very annoyed, and she has never imagined.

The only way she could think of to make a decision was to break off the relationship with Ning Cheng, if it was suddenly cleared, Xiao Xia was a little reluctant, because Ning Cheng made him so many delicious foods, and he also went deep into the poison gas forest to save her life, although this was a redundant move, but Xiao Xia was also quite moved.

Therefore, she wanted to refine the Turning Spirit Pill for Ning Cheng, so that the two would not owe each other from now on, so as not to be beneficial to both parties.

Of course, this idea Xiao Xia has always hidden in her heart, and she will not tell Ning Cheng.

"Hey, Ning Cheng, I want to go back to alchemy, you send me back!" Xiao Xia said.

"Good!" Ning Cheng nodded, he didn't suspect anything, after all, Xiao Xia himself was eccentric.

"Sister Xiaoxia, you're leaving!" Xiao Zhongling ran over, hugged Xiao Xia's thigh, and said, "Sister Xiao Xia, you have to come to play next time." ”

Xiao Xia touched Xiao Zhongling's head and said, "Okay, I'll come over next time." ”

"Let's go." Xiao Xia said to Ning Cheng.

"Okay." Ning Cheng nodded, and Xiao Xia went out, walking on the street Xiao Xia never spoke, she seemed to be thinking about something, thinking a little flustered.

"Natsu-chan?" Ning Cheng shouted.

"Huh?" Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment and replied.

"What's wrong with you? You okay? Ning Cheng noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Xia's state.

"It's fine." Xiao Xia shook his head, and then said, "Okay, just send it here, I'll just walk back by myself, after all, my strength is here." ”

Natsu seemed to have forgotten how nervous she was on the street when she first arrived in the afternoon.

"Shall I send you back?" Ning Cheng hesitated, after all, he invited Xiao Xia over, and it was a little unreasonable to put her halfway.

"Okay, don't want my mother-in-law, go back, I'm not a child again." Xiao Xia glanced at Ning Cheng and said, "And I need to be quiet for a while now, after all, alchemy requires meditation." ”

"Uh, okay." Since Xiao Xia said this, Ning Cheng couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod and watch Xiao Xia leave.

It wasn't until Xiao Xia disappeared that Ning Cheng scratched his head, he always felt that Xiao Xia had become a little strange again, but he really couldn't say what was strange.

Returning to the courtyard, Ning Cheng entered the room alone and crossed his knees into the Zhihai space.

This was the first time he had entered the Sea of Knowledge Space since he entered Qi training, and until now he felt like he was in a dream.

"Master Lei, can I become an alchemist now?" Ning Cheng asked impatiently.
