Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Rewards for the Top of the Qingyun List_1

"Good, very good, Ning Fan, this female disciple of yours, while I can’t see anything else, she certainly has a sharp tongue. It seems you’ve got all you need with her around; Xu Yourong and I shouldn’t have come today. Let’s go, Yourong."

Su Qingcheng’s almond-shaped eyes brimmed with resentment as she said this, pulling Xu Yourong towards the exit.

"Hey, Qing Cheng, don’t be mad."

Xu Yourong hastily held on to Su Qingcheng, then turned to Ning Fan and said, "Ning Fan, please try to soothe Qing Cheng. She just personally cleaned your new house."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan looked around and noticed that the house was indeed much cleaner than it had been during the day. Not only had the floor been swept, but the furniture and windows had been wiped clean as well.

"Uh, Miss Xu, did you and Miss Su clean up?" Ning Fan asked in surprise.

"Yes, how is it? Not bad, right?" Xu Yourong said with a hint of pride.

"Hmph, Yourong, you see? You insisted on cleaning his house for him, and he doesn’t even believe us, unappreciative! Our kindness is met with indifference! If you don’t leave now, I will by myself!"

Su Qingcheng became even angrier, biting her lip and dragging Xu Yourong toward the door regardless.

She didn’t even realize why she was so angry.

At this point, Ning Fan also started feeling embarrassed.

Putting Su Qingcheng’s misunderstanding aside, she was inherently not a bad person. Moreover, with the status and identity of Su Qingcheng and Xu Yourong, two ladies from influential families, taking the initiative to come over and clean up for him personally... If he sent them away now, it would be rather unreasonable.

"Miss Su, thank you and Miss Xu for cleaning the house. Please, sit down for a while before leaving," Ning Fan finally spoke.

"Hmph," Su Qingcheng snorted softly.

"There you go, Qing Cheng, Ning Fan is asking you to stay a bit longer. Why put on airs?" Xu Yourong seized the opportunity to pull Su Qingcheng back.

"Miss Xu, you shouldn’t have to clean up yourself, I..." Ning Fan began, moved by Xu Yourong’s actions.

Xu Yourong cut him off, "What’s the big deal about cleaning? You bought a new house; isn’t it something a girlfriend should do? Besides, we didn’t do it for nothing, we want something in return for cleaning."

"What do you want? Just tell me," Ning Fan said eagerly.

"That’s..."

Xu Yourong deliberately dragged out her words, then smiled and said, "Make us a midnight snack with your own hands! I haven’t tasted the midnight snacks you make in such a long time. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Right, Qing Cheng?"

"That’s not true, his cooking isn’t anything special, not much different from what you find in restaurants..."

Su Qingcheng spoke against her true feelings.

However, the involuntary movement of her Adam’s apple along her fair neck betrayed her completely.

"Hurry up, Ning Fan, we’ve already bought the ingredients and put them in the kitchen, just waiting for you to cook! Hee hee!"

Xu Yourong grinned and pointed towards the kitchen.

"Alright, I’m going now. Shuang’er, make yourself familiar with the place," Ning Fan nodded and headed to the kitchen.

"Yes, Master."

Shuang’er responded, feeling a bit puzzled.

Miss Xu and Miss Su seem genuinely excited about the food made by Master...

Master’s cooking skills, are they really that exaggerated?

Half an hour later, Ning Fan served the midnight snack he had prepared.

Each person had a bowl of simple pickled vegetable and shredded pork noodles garnished with green onions, accompanied by a fried egg.

"Wow! This smells amazing!"

Xu Yourong did not hesitate to pick up a bowl and started eating heartily.

"Mm mm mm..."

Su Qingcheng couldn’t maintain her aloof demeanor any longer, nearly burying her head in the bowl.

Shuang’er cautiously took a bite and immediately her eyes lit up. She grasped the bowl and, ignoring her image, slurped the noodles into her mouth voraciously.

The large bowls of noodles were quickly devoured by everyone.

Even the soup was polished off.

Belch—

Shuang’er burped contentedly and said with admiration, "Master, I had no idea that in addition to being great at medicine and martial arts, you’re also an amazing noodle chef!"

"Hehe, Shuang’er, you’ll slowly discover that your master is not only proficient in medicine, martial arts, and cooking noodles, but in many other impressive areas as well," Xu Yourong said with a smile.

"Yourong, don’t exaggerate too much. If you keep this up, Ning Fan will be too over the top! Tomorrow is the Qingyun Ranking’s literary assessment, be careful he doesn’t end up kneeling in the first round!" Su Qingcheng put down her bowl, still unsatiated, and wiped her mouth.

"Oh right, we’ve been so busy eating that we forgot to mention it to you, Ning Fan. Besides visiting your new house, there’s another matter we need to discuss with you," Xu Yourong added quickly.

"What’s the matter, Miss Xu?" Ning Fan asked.

Xu Yourong said, "We’ve just received news that this year’s Qingyun Ranking’s first place will receive an unprecedented reward! This reward is something none of the previous top rankers have ever received." Xu Yourong said.

"Oh? What kind of reward?" Ning Fan inquired.

The top placer of this Qingyun Ranking will be specially appointed as an instructor for the Phoenix Special Combat Team under the Jiangnan War Department! Should they prove themselves adept in the role of instructor, the Jiangnan War Department will also confer a military rank!" Xu Yourong said gravely.
