188: Chapter 188 Culinary Skills Conquer the Gu Family Disciple, Bringing the Two Together

"This taste! It has been so long since I've eaten something this fragrant! This soup is not bad either!"

"Although the food in the Gu Family canteen uses good spiritual ingredients, it always feels like something is missing. Yours is just right!"

"Miss Su, would you be willing to come to the kitchen often in the future? We won't eat for free; we'll help you with the prep work!"

"Nobody fight me for the last bowl of soup! I've been Cultivating since this morning and haven't eaten anything yet!"

Su Nian watched them holding their bowls with heads bowed, eating one mouthful after another, and her expression softened slightly.

She hadn't seen a scene like this in a long time!

Back home, she used to cook, but no one in that family ever ate properly. Her brother would always finish eating, slam the bowl down, and go out to gamble.

The feeling of being recognized here was truly heartening!

Su Nian felt a bit shy from their praise, lowered her head, and smiled. "If you like it, eat more. There is more soup inside!"

Not long after, a Disciple ran over in a hurry. When he arrived at the kitchen, the fragrance wafting out stopped him in his tracks!

"What smells so fragrant?"

He couldn't help but look at the few steaming bowls resting by the stove!

A Disciple nearby handed him a bowl on impulse. "Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early; this is the last bowl of soup."

The messenger Disciple was stunned for a moment, took the bowl, and took a sip. His eyes blinked, and then he immediately took another large gulp!

"Oh! Another one satisfied. Miss Su's cooking skills are really excellent, aren't they!"

The messenger Disciple had completely forgotten what he was supposed to do and was immersed in that bowl of soup!

Not until the bottom of the bowl was empty did he put it down with satisfaction!

He wiped his mouth. "Delicious, it's damn delicious!"

Su Nian, seeing how happy they were, felt a great sense of accomplishment!

Suddenly, the Disciple remembered the Second Elder's task!

He had almost delayed an important matter!

He immediately said to Su Nian, "Miss Su, the Second Elder wants to see you. He said he has something to discuss with you."

Su Nian was taken aback. An Elder of the Gu Family wanted to see her?

What right did she have to be summoned by an Elder!

She was filled with doubt, assuming she probably couldn't stay here anymore.

It made sense.

She was just an ordinary Cultivator; she didn't even count as a servant here!

The Gu Family had already done their utmost by saving her.

She didn't dare to hope for anything more.

The surrounding Disciples cast envious gazes, all looking at her in unison.

That was the Second Elder!

"The Second Elder is looking for you? You know the Second Elder?"

Su Nian just shook her head. She hadn't been here long and had no idea about the situation in the Gu Family.

As for this Second Elder, it was even less likely that she would know him.

The only person she knew was Gu Qingshan, who had saved her!

Subsequently, Su Nian was taken away by that Disciple.

The Disciples watched them leave, pondering and wondering, but they didn't know the background of Miss Su.

They hadn't heard this name among the Disciples or servants, had they?

Suddenly, a Disciple seemed to recall something and said in shock, "Oh no! That Miss Su seems to be the young lady that Young Master Qingshan brought back!!"

"Holy crap! It seems to be a lady named Su, and the Second Elder is calling for her! Everything makes sense now!!"

"It's her! It's her! No wonder she seemed so familiar; it turns out she's the woman Young Master Qingshan brought back!"

"Regardless of anything else! Miss Su's cooking is truly delicious! We probably won't be able to eat it anymore!"

The Disciples were both surprised and worried!

They had just discovered a Treasure Trove of a girl who knew how to cook, and the flavor was so unique, but they hadn't expected her to be the girl brought back by Young Master Qingshan.

They were afraid they wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food in the future!

This delicacy was drifting away from them!

She followed the Disciple through several corridors and arrived at the room where Elder Gu Kong often stayed.

Elder Gu Kong sat in the main seat. Seeing Su Nian walk in, he sized her up.

His gaze carried no pressure; he was looking at someone he had heard of but never met.

She's a good child, and she looks quite pretty!

Most importantly, her age is also suitable!

Surely his son wouldn't be able to find any faults!

Su Nian lowered her head slightly. "Second Elder, you were looking for me?"

Elder Gu Kong waved his hand, his tone casual. "Sit, no need to stand."

Su Nian hesitated for a moment before sitting on the chair nearby.

Elder Gu Kong looked at her again. "I heard you were busy in the kitchen all morning today?"

Su Nian nodded.

"Yes, I was idle anyway, so I thought I would find something to do."

Elder Gu Kong didn't continue that topic but suddenly changed direction. "What do you think of Qingshan?"

Su Nian was stunned for a moment, completely failing to understand what this meant.

Why would he ask about Gu Qingshan?

Could it be that the person in front of her was related to her benefactor?

She lowered her head to think, then said earnestly, "He is my benefactor. If it weren't for him, I might have already been dragged away. I am very grateful to him, and I want to repay him."

After listening, Elder Gu Kong just nodded.

He was very satisfied with this answer!

"That child Qingshan, usually when he gets busy, he forgets about himself. He eats whenever he can. There's no one to take care of him where he lives. Since you said you want to repay him, why don't you go and take care of his daily life!"

"It's not heavy work, just help him tidy up his room and prepare a few meals, so he doesn't have to work until midnight on an empty stomach."

"Ah?"

When Su Nian heard the first half of the sentence, she had already guessed the identity of the person in front of her!

She hadn't expected him to be Gu Qingshan's father!

Logically speaking, Gu Qingshan should have many people to take care of him. Choosing her must be to make her a maid or something similar!

However, for her current self, this was already a blessing, and she didn't dare to hope for anything more.

She had no complaints either.

Gu Qingshan had indeed helped her, so without thinking too much, she nodded. "Alright, I am willing to go."

Elder Gu Kong didn't keep her any longer and waved his hand for her to go back.

He thought silently to himself: As a father, I can only help you this much! The rest depends on you two!

Moreover, he saw that this girl was good. The intelligence reports showed she knew how to take care of people and could cook, though her Cultivation was a bit low.

In Elder Gu Kong's view, Cultivation was not a problem at all!

Whether or not he could hold a grandson was the most important thing!

On the other side, Gu Qingshan was exhausted from the events of the past few days and was lying on the bed sound asleep!

When he woke up, he smelled the aroma of food.

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw several dishes on the table.

A plate of sautéed spiritual sprouts, a bowl of hot soup, and a small dish of pickles on the side, all arranged neatly!

A person was standing by the table, hands placed in front, looking at him quietly.

Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment. "Why are you here?"

Su Nian explained, "The Second Elder asked me to come and take care of your daily life, saying it was to repay you." She paused. "He said you usually get too busy to take care of yourself, so he asked me to come over to help prepare a few meals and tidy up the room."

Gu Qingshan's face darkened after hearing this!

"Damn it!"

Why did his old man have to tell her everything!

"My father is really putting in a lot of effort!!"

It's just that this effort is a bit unscrupulous, isn't it!
