Chapter 693: What happened to their brotherhood?Dedicating todays chapter to moondark.


    " Okay, Okay, you win!"Lin Rui had a slight meltdown after being chased by Su Wan and her gooey hands, he raised his hands and joined them together in a praying gesture and said, " You won okay? I will not touch your favourite cap fish."


    " Cap fish? You call it cap fish?" Su Wan said as she stopped chasing Lin Rui and turned her back to him as she walked back to the aisle of the kitchen and picked up the squid.


    " That''s what the people of the territory call it, apparently the head of this thing looks like a pointed cap and that''s why they call it a cap fish," Lin Rui has never seen anything like this before, to him this fish was unique but at the same time, it was a headache. He have heard from his master that this thing was rather annoying, the people of the territory caught it on daily basis but they couldn''t eat it.


    The thing whether alive or dead would spurt ink causing them a lot of trouble, in the end, they only ate the top of that thing and even that didn''t taste good.


    " They really don''t know what a good thing they had in their hands," Su Wan said as she firmly grasped the squid''s tail and twisted it slowly and then to Lin Rui''s surprise the thing that the vigers called the cap of the fish was easily taken off. " They must have been cooking it by chopping it up and throwing it in the pot but that''s not how it''s supposed to be done, we need to clean its head, body tube and innards."


    And then with apt skills, she showed Lin Rui how to take care of the ink sac, and tentacles and even removed its beak before moving to the tail tube and cartge.


    " After this, we also need to take care of the skin membrane, you see?" She showed him how to remove the spotty skin of the squid causing Lin Rui''s mouth to drop open. " This little thing … it''s even harder to deal with than a pig!"


    " You are only saying this because you don''t know how to deal with it." Su Wan could already imagine the delicious things that she would be able to prepare with these things, from stuffed squid to squid spaghetti in ink sauce …there are also fresh squid noodles. Ah, just thinking about it made her mouth water.


    Her lips curled up in a happy smile, since she has gotten pregnant, she was banned from eating this and that but now that she has gotten her hands on these babies, she will be able to eat her fill!


    When Lin Yan and the others returned home, they smelled a tantalising scenting from the dining room, all of them exchanged a look with each and Lin Chen immediately threw his bag at Lin Yu''s face and shouted, "I called dibs first."


    The word dibs was of course he learned something from Su Wan.


    Lin Yu pulled the bag off his face and spat on the ground. " One of these days I am going to—-" he muttered under his breath causing Lin Jing to look at him sternly and say, " Yu Yu, no get angry, he is your big brother."


    Lin Yu''s mouth twitched after he heard his eldest brother''s personal nickname for him and decided to say nothing in front of him for the moment.


    "Uwahh!" Lin Yan on the other hand did not get a chance to say anything as he heard Lin Chen''s scream and he hurriedly walked inside the dining room just in time to see Su Wan bringing something weird out of the kitchen. He frowned and then looked at Lin Rui who was sitting at the table and then turned to look at Lin Chen who was gulping loudly while staring at the meals that were stretched on the table.


    He couldn''t quite make out the ingredient that was used in cooking this feast given that he was a chef in the town and had quite a good reputation this was an embarrassment to another level. But he somehow managed to suppress his embarrassment and then turned to Lin Rui knowing that his little brother must have been the one who brought this with him. " Ah Rui, what good things have you brought for Wan Wan to smile like this?"


    Of course, he wanted to chide Su Wan for over-taxing herself but he could see that she was genuinely happy, so he stopped himself from saying anything that will upset her after all it has been quite a few days and Su Wan had nothing to do at the house and since she was being targeted they didn''t want her leaving the house either.


    This was his first time seeing her smile this widely in weeks.


    Lin Rui turned to look at his second brother with a guilty conscience and said, " Second brother, the thing is like this——" he began telling them all about the bet between headmaster Yuan and the Emperor by the time he finished telling his brothers all about the bet, he wasn''t surprised to see that their expression has turned really bad.


    " Ohe on it''s not that bad," in the end it was Su Wan who rolled her eyes and broke the silence that was stretching over the dining room as she ced the twice-cooked squid on the table along with the fresh squid noodles. " In fact, it''s a great chance, if I can take hold of this opportunity then it will mean that not only will I be the governess of that territory, I will also get hold of these precious things for all my life."


    " Wan Wan, it''s not as easy as it looks, you have never taken care of such things and you hardly know how to run a territory ——" Lin Yan has hardly begun when he heard a loud bang, when he looked up he was surprised to see that his brothers have taken a lot of steps collectively leaving him in front. His gaze raked over the chopsticks that were ominously sticking in the top of the table and took a step back as well but this time he was pushed in front by his traitorous brothers!


    Once again he wanted to ask what happened to their brotherhood!
