Although the matter of the hidden black people had given Cheng Xiaofan a headache, he was determined to handle what he had promised Mei Xueyun.
Moreover, Mei Xueyun, as the daughter of the district chief, had not been deterred by the poverty of Zhuxi Village at the time and had made significant contributions to the village.
Cheng Xiaofan naturally prioritized dealing with her affairs.
After hanging up the phone, he got on his motorcycle and headed home.
Cheng Xiaofan arrived home just as it was time for lunch. Bai Yiling, Shen Ruobing, and Tang Xiuwan had just returned from work.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan return, Tang Guoxing smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, you've returned at the perfect time. I'll bring the dishes from the kitchen."
"Grandpa, I'll help you!" Tang Xiuwan followed Tang Guoxing into the kitchen.
Bai Yiling asked Cheng Xiaofan, "Did your friend leave? Why didn't you invite them to stay for dinner?"
Cheng Xiaofan found it inconvenient to mention the matter of the Earth God looking for him, nor could he discuss the hidden black people in front of everyone.
He merely smiled and said, "My friend is from out of town and was just passing by. They came to chat with me about some trivial matters."
"He has a peculiar temperament and dislikes eating at other people's homes. I didn't press him. I gave him two bags of golden tea and sent him off!"
The dishes were served, and everyone began to eat together.
During the meal, Tang Guoxing chuckled and said, "Mr. Cheng, I saw a post on the Jianghu Forum today saying that you won the title of God of Cooking in the Chinese world at the Chinese Chef Competition in Chinatown and became the leader of the world's Chinese culinary community. That's truly amazing!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and replied, "Mr. Tang, to be honest, when I first heard about the competition, I wanted to invite you to participate. However, time was too short, so I had to compete myself!"
Tang Guoxing laughed, "Mr. Cheng, you're joking. If I participated, I certainly wouldn't win the title of God of Cooking!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "If you could participate, I wouldn't dare guarantee you'd become the leader, but the title of God of Cooking would definitely be yours."
"Your culinary skills are quite high in the culinary world, truly at the peak!"
Tang Guoxing blushed from Cheng Xiaofan's praise and chuckled, "To receive such high praise from Mr. Cheng is truly an honor for me, Tang Guoxing!"
"Goddess Bai, I need to accompany Mei Xueyun to the district this afternoon!" At this point, Cheng Xiaofan, remembering Mei Xueyun's matter, recounted the details to her.
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Mei Xueyun rarely asks for favors. You must go. If you can't make it back the same day, don't rush home!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Yes, I understand!"
Shortly after dinner, Mei Xueyun called. She said anxiously on the phone, "Xiaofan, have you eaten?"
"I just received a call from my teacher's family. My teacher suddenly fainted and is in a coma. The hospital said they won't admit her and that there's no hope."
"Her family is all crying."
Cheng Xiaofan listened and said, "I've finished eating. Come to my place!"
Mei Xueyun replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
While Cheng Xiaofan was on the phone with Mei Xueyun, Bai Yiling, Shen Ruobing, and the others were sitting nearby, and they heard everything clearly.
Bai Yiling said, "Xiaofan, since Mei Xueyun's teacher is in such a state, when she arrives, why don't you have Sky Breaking Eagle take you to the city?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Mei Xueyun has never ridden Sky Breaking Eagle before, I'm afraid it will startle her!"
Shen Ruobing chuckled, "Master, everyone knows your abilities. With you protecting Mei Xueyun by her side, what could she be afraid of?"
Bai Yiling nodded and said, "Yes, Ruobing is right. With you by her side, how can she be scared?"
As they were talking, the sound of braking tires came from outside, and Mei Xueyun had arrived.
"Xiaofan, please save my teacher!" Mei Xueyun, with red eyes, rushed into the house like a whirlwind. Ignoring the others, she grabbed Cheng Xiaofan's hand and pleaded.
It was evident that Mei Xueyun and her teacher had a deep bond.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Xueyun, I was just discussing this with Yiling and the others. Since you're in such a hurry, let's take Sky Breaking Eagle to get there!"
"Yes, Xueyun, Sky Breaking Eagle flies many times faster than driving to the city. Ruobing and I both suggested you and Xiaofan take Sky Breaking Eagle!"
Mei Xueyun immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
At this moment, she didn't even consider whether she would be scared riding Sky Breaking Eagle.
Hearing that they could reach the city quickly by riding Sky Breaking Eagle, she agreed without hesitation.
"Screech—"
At this moment, Sky Breaking Eagle, sensing the call, flew into the courtyard.
"Woof woof"
When Cheng Xiaofan arrived in the courtyard, Mischief Maker emerged from some corner, followed by the ten white swans.
"Master, I can also carry you to various places now. Can I go out and play with you?" Mischief Maker asked its master plaintively.
Through its spiritual senses, it had sensed that Sky Breaking Eagle had carried its master to several countries.
It, on the other hand, had never even left the country. Was that fair?
"No, you can't conceal your form yet, your flying altitude isn't high enough, and your speed doesn't reach light speed. If people on the ground saw you flying in the sky, how many accidents would there be?" Cheng Xiaofan glared at it fiercely and spoke to it telepathically.
Upon hearing its master's words, Mischief Maker immediately cowered.
It seemed its destiny was to be the king of ground beasts, and the vast blue sky would have to be left to that monstrous eagle.
"Xueyun, come here, get on!" At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan was already seated on Sky Breaking Eagle and beckoned to Mei Xueyun.
After all, it was her first time flying on Sky Breaking Eagle. Mei Xueyun approached Cheng Xiaofan with a hint of bewilderment and asked.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "You sit behind me. If you feel scared, just hold onto my waist!"
Hearing this, Bai Yiling said, "Xiaofan, you should let Xueyun sit in front of you, with you holding her. This way, her safety will be greater."
Cheng Xiaofan said with some hesitation, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Bai Yiling replied, "What time is it? Are you still so concerned? If you let Xueyun sit behind you, and Sky Breaking Eagle flies to high altitudes, what if she gets scared and lets go? What would be the consequence?"
"To save time, stop overthinking!"
At this moment, Mei Xueyun quickly said, "Xiaofan, Sister Bai is right. Let me sit in front. I'm worried about acrophobia and it's not safe sitting behind!"
"Alright, then you sit in front!" Cheng Xiaofan said somewhat helplessly.
After Mei Xueyun got on, Cheng Xiaofan instructed Sky Breaking Eagle, "Sky Breaking Eagle, take off. Go slowly when ascending!"
"Chirp!"
Sky Breaking Eagle responded, flapped its wings, and lifted off the ground.
"Ah!"
Although Sky Breaking Eagle's movements were not drastic, Mei Xueyun still cried out in fright.
