Night passed in the blink of an eye!
When Zhou Xuan reappeared in his room, it was already the next morning.
"Heh heh, my ancestor didn't lie to me!"
"Cultivating in the Void Ring is at least three times faster than in the outside world!"
"It was worth my acting skills, which could win a Golden Horse Award!"
Zhou Xuan, who had appeared in the room, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Then, he said with a hint of surprise in his tone.
Actually, he had thought about entering the ring again a few days ago to ask Zhou Shenglong for advice on cultivation.
After all, he was a powerhouse of the Ascended realm!
Such a person, even a small piece of advice casually revealed, would probably be enough for him to digest for a long time.
It was just that Zhou Xuan had been busy with other matters before, so it had been delayed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until today to experience the joy of his cultivation soaring!
"Brother Xuan, wake up and eat!"
As soon as Zhou Xuan got out of bed, he heard Lu Ling'er's familiar voice from outside the door.
Perhaps it was the incident with the lean tiger last time that had cast a shadow over her.
So this time, she only called out to Zhou Xuan from outside, but did not push the door open.
Listening to Lu Ling'er's pleasant voice outside, a smile slowly spread across Zhou Xuan's lips.
"Little girl!"
"Your ability to announce the morning is even more punctual than a rooster!"
"It's so cold, shouldn't you be sleeping more?"
Opening the door and seeing the graceful Lu Ling'er standing outside, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but embrace her directly and speak to her softly.
"Hmph!"
"This morning service is exclusive to Brother Xuan!"
"I wouldn't give it to anyone else!"
"Besides!"
"If I don't get up, who will cook for you!"
"Are you expecting breakfast to fall from the sky?"
Lu Ling'er, who was being held by Zhou Xuan, struggled symbolically for a moment, then stopped resisting.
Leaning in Zhou Xuan's arms, she replied in a slightly娇憨 (jiaohan - charmingly naive) tone.
Upon hearing Lu Ling'er's words, Zhou Xuan was deeply touched.
To have such a good girlfriend in life, what more could he ask for?
At the same time, this further strengthened Zhou Xuan's resolve to protect Lu Ling'er for a lifetime!
"Alright!"
"Hurry up and eat!"
"If we keep hugging, breakfast will get cold!"
"Okay, let's go for breakfast!"
"We can't let down my wife's kind intentions!"
"Pfft, who is your wife!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, you won't have any more meals!"
Hearing Lu Ling'er's words, Zhou Xuan quickly pleaded for mercy with a laugh.
Then, the two of them, while playfully bickering, walked towards the Lu family hall.
However, when they reached the Lu family hall, they were surprised to find Lu Mingyuan and Lu Linxiao also present.
And looking at the untouched dishes on the table!
It was obvious that both of them were waiting for Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er.
This situation made Zhou Xuan a little surprised.
Because usually, he woke up quite late, and Lu Mingyuan, due to his age, had light sleep.
He would always wake up early, and Lu Linxiao also woke up relatively early.
So these two usually finished breakfast very early.
Only Lu Ling'er would prepare breakfast for the elders first to wait for Zhou Xuan, and then call Zhou Xuan after they finished eating, so that they could have breakfast together!
This was the first time Zhou Xuan had seen a situation where everyone was having breakfast together.
"Zhou Xuan, you're here!"
"Quick, sit down, breakfast is getting cold!"
"I didn't expect you to get along so well with your Uncle Linxiao so quickly!"
"He specifically said today that he wanted to wait for you two to eat together!"
"It made me almost starve to death!"
"Come, come, try this preserved egg and lean meat congee!"
"This was brewed after getting up early!"
"Drink it while it's hot!"
As soon as Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er walked into the hall, Lu Mingyuan's voice came from the side.
Upon hearing Lu Mingyuan's words, Zhou Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.
His relationship with Lu Linxiao was good?
Lu Linxiao was waiting for them to eat together?
What was all this about?
If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding Lu Ling'er's arm.
Zhou Xuan could clearly feel the warmth of Lu Ling'er's body from his arm.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been cultivating in the Void Ring all night yesterday and hadn't rested at all!
Zhou Xuan would have suspected that he was still dreaming.
The scene before him seemed a bit strange, didn't it?
"Heh heh!"
"Nephew, don't misunderstand!"
"I just thought, it's been so long since I came back!"
"Our family hasn't had a proper reunion meal together yet!"
"That's why I suddenly had the idea to ask my father to wait for you two before starting the meal!"
"After all, you'll be considered part of the Lu family from now on!"
"You can't miss a family banquet!"
"Quick, sit down and try the congee that Ling'er made!"
"This is a delicacy that money can't buy!"
As if sensing the hint of confusion in Zhou Xuan's eyes, Lu Linxiao, who was on the side, also spoke at this moment.
"So that's how it is!"
"I thought Uncle Linxiao and Grandpa Lu were also late today!"
"In that case, it was my rudeness!"
"I apologize to Uncle Linxiao and Grandpa Lu!"
"Hmph, you child!"
"Why apologize so early in the morning!"
"Seeing you all living in harmony is my greatest wish!"
"Hurry up and sit down to eat!"
"Here, this bowl is for you!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Lu Mingyuan on the side reprimanded him with a slight displeasure.
At the same time, he handed Zhou Xuan a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat congee that had already been served.
Seeing the bowl of congee in front of him, Zhou Xuan was about to find an excuse to shirk it.
But then he suddenly saw Lu Linxiao, who had already picked up his porcelain bowl and was drinking the congee heartily.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuan slowly swallowed back the words that were already on his lips.
"Perhaps, I was really overthinking it!"
He comforted himself in his heart, picked up the soup spoon, and took a sip of the congee water in front of him.
It was fresh and delicious, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Looking at the other three who had already started eating heartily, Zhou Xuan finally let down his guard.
He finished this slightly strange breakfast with them.
After breakfast, Zhou Xuan said goodbye to the three of them and took a taxi directly to the Baoyao Pavilion.
He remembered that he had to treat Zhang Mubai's grandfather today!
This was a good opportunity to build his reputation, and Zhou Xuan didn't want to miss it.
As soon as Zhou Xuan got out of the taxi and stepped into the Baoyao Pavilion.
From a distance, he saw Zhang Mubai, supporting a white-haired elder, standing in front of the signboard of his Zhou Family Pharmacy.
As Zhou Xuan was about to step forward to greet them, he inadvertently glanced at the side of the white-haired elder's forehead.
Immediately, his expression turned grim!
