After the two met, Gu Qiaoqiao briefly recounted what had happened to Xiao Wen, then without delay, she hurriedly led Xiao Wen towards the kitchen.
This kitchen was actually a place where guests were forbidden, an internal area of Lijing Ho. However, because of the special relationship between Gu Qiaoqiao and An Xiaotong, along with Master Fongâs tacit approval, they went to the kitchen without a hitch.
Even if bringing a stranger along, it was the same.
The layout of the kitchen was very complex, utilizing every available space, but still ensuring ventilation and fire safety, so many areas were arranged in a maze-like setup.
When they were only a corridor away from the head chefâs office, Xiao Wen suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She tightly clenched her right hand, her brows furrowed, Gu Qiaoqiao stopped as well, looking at Xiao Wen worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiao Wen, whatâs wrong?"
Xiao Wen slowly unfolded her clenched right hand for her to see, and Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyes went wide with surprise at a glance.
At this moment, the flame mark in Xiao Wenâs palm seemed to be faintly flickering, as if it wanted to escape from her hand.
Xiao Wen quickly closed her hand and said to Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, thereâs no doubt, this person must be the other one who possesses the Mystic Dragon Token."
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs expression lit up with joy.
"You said he lost his memory?" Xiao Wen continued to ask.
"Yes, he canât remember who he is, where he came from... then he was found by Master Fong and brought to Lijing Ho..."
"Lost his memory?" Xiao Wen pondered aloud, "If so, it could be troublesome."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked puzzled.
"Because some things require awakening memories to accomplish, he doesnât remember anything, just having this mark isnât enough..." Xiao Wen waved her hand in frustration, "Forget it, letâs not think about these for now, letâs take him back first and talk about it later..."
Then she looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and whispered, "Qiaoqiao, letâs go."
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly led Xiao Wen to continue towards the head chefâs office, and soon they were at the office door, Gu Qiaoqiao raised her hand and knocked.
Then Master Fongâs steady voice was heard, "Come in."
Gu Qiaoqiao pushed the door open and led Xiao Wen inside.
At this moment, Big Guyâs right hand was also tightly clenched, his brows furrowed, as if he didnât understand why his hand felt different than usual.
He couldnât think of a reason for this but couldnât tell Master Fong, so he just sat in the chair, forcibly enduring it, then saw the girl called Gu Qiaoqiao bringing another woman in.
This woman was older than Gu Qiaoqiao.
However, why was it that when he saw this woman, the feeling in his palm became even more unusual.
He scratched the back of his head in confusion.
When Xiao Wen entered the room, her gaze first fell on Master Fongâs face.
Her beautiful eyes, which were slightly squinted, suddenly widened, and her gaze stayed on Master Fongâs face for several seconds.
Master Fong stood up.
Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly introduced, "This is my distant relative named Xiao Wen, and this is Master Fong, Ah Zeâs war buddy."
Xiao Wenâs eyes lit up, she quickly stepped forward, extended her hand, and said warmly, "Hello, Master Fong, my name is Xiao Wen."
Seeing the hand extended towards him, Master Fong hesitated for a moment, but then courteously extended his hand as well.
Xiao Wen smiled warmly as she shook hands with Master Fong.
