After leaving the research institute, Wen Nuan confidently led her to a grilled fish restaurant. Although it was only the beginning of November, the barbecue stall downstairs was incredibly bustling.

“Boss, serve us two grilled fish to start.”

“Alright!”

The two found a clean spot to sit down, and through the large glass of the open kitchen, they could see the chefs cooking with fluid grace.

“The grilled fish here is a quintessential Beijing experience; I guarantee you won’t regret coming.”

Wen Nuan gestured towards the queue outside, and Tang Shu followed her gaze to indeed spot many people, even noticing a lot of young men and women holding selfie sticks, chatting while they waited in line.

This place was clearly a well-known trendy spot.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Ten minutes later, two servings of grilled fish appeared in front of them, and the spicy and fragrant aroma immediately wafted to their noses.

The plates holding the grilled fish weren’t very large and were shaped like little fish; now they sizzled with hot oil, making sounds under the high heat that could instantly whet one’s appetite just by looking at them.

If there was one thing Tang Shu loved most since she had come to this era, it was certainly the food, and a sense of anticipation rose in her heart.

While she was observing the color, the person opposite had already skillfully opened a bottle of beer with one hand.

“Want some?”

“…I remember you drove here, right?”

“So, it’s for you—”

Tang Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, fully accepting Wen Nuan’s occasional bad jokes.

By the time the two had finished their delicious late-night meal, more than an hour had passed, and ultimately, it was the sociable Wen Nuan who paid the bill.

And Tang Shu, who was never good at cooking, had added this grilled fish restaurant to her list of classic must-eats.

“Regarding the design blueprints we discussed earlier, I’m afraid I’ll need to trouble you again in the future. How heavy is your coursework usually?”

“It’s manageable. Is this research project particularly time-sensitive?”

Tang Shu clearly sensed that Wen Nuan had been quite busy with work lately.

Or perhaps… she had always been busy?

The other nodded, “It’s fine. The institute is going to launch another research project next month, so I’m planning to wrap this one up.”

Tang Shu nodded in understanding. The Hidden Weapons Mechanism was the foundation of her Tang Sect, and she was a rare genius among her generation.

The chance to witness the collision between the modern and the ancient was something she was happy to see happen.

“Got it. You can send me a message on WeChat with any news; I’m at your service anytime.”

If their previous acquaintance was due to the Sleeve Arrow incident, then through the time they spent together, they had already become close confidants.

Herbal Hall.

Old Master Xie hurriedly made his way back into the partitioned workshop, holding a stack of A4 paper in his hand.

As soon as he walked in, he instructed Yunzhen at the counter.

“We received a batch of fresh Exquisite Plants yesterday; go get them for me.”

“Oh sure, Grandpa, just a moment.”

Yunzhen was puzzled but didn’t idle about and promptly went to assist.

He turned off his computer screen and scampered to the backyard, returning shortly with a potted plant in his arms.

“Grandpa, are you planning to use the fresh Exquisite Plants in a medicine?”

Old Master Xie slowly shook his head and placed the stack of A4 paper very seriously across the table.

His careful actions immediately caught Yunzhen’s attention.

“Eh? What’s this? Another new article published by one of your friends?”

Old Master Xie put on his black-framed glasses and placed the thriving Exquisite Plant in front of him.
