But he'd been gone a full day now, and still hadn't shown his face.
Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit stiff, Zhou Qing got up, tore off a piece of golden, oil-slicked beast meat from the grill, and held it out to Yu Yan. "You took quite a hit in that fight. Have a taste."
Shen Hanyi looked at the golden roast being offered. After a brief hesitation, she still reached out to take it, murmuring softly, "Thank you."
Zhou Qing tore off another piece for himself and tasted it. The meat was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection; seemed his cooking skills had improved again.
He asked casually, "Where did Brother Zhao and the others go? After you left the Shen Family, how did you end up running into Yama alone?"
Yu Yan let out a soft sigh and slowly recounted how, after leaving Li Mansion, her cousin was repeatedly plotted against by Yama, and how her elder female cousin Yu Zhu sent a Communication Jade Scroll asking for her help.
