God of Cooking, Monster: No, we have become ingredients

When it comes to Xu Jie's character, he is really notoriously cunning.

Once something gets into his pocket, it would be harder than climbing Mount Everest to get him to hand it over.

So, when Ye Changqing saw Xu Jie silently taking several steps back, he knew that it was hopeless to get the things back from him.

So Ye Changqing could only sigh helplessly.

In the end, I could only give verbal instructions.

"Third Brother, let it go this time, but in the future, if you see treasures on the ground, don't pick them up casually."

Hearing this, Xu Jie widened his eyes, his face full of unwillingness, and he muttered to himself.

"Ah? We can't even pick up treasures on the ground? What kind of logic is this?"

Seeing Xu Jie like this, Ye Changqing's expression became more serious and earnest, and he had to emphasize it again with a heavier tone.

"Third Brother, I'm telling the truth. You must not pick them up again."

Faced with Ye Changqing's serious attitude, even if Xu Jie was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to say anything more at this time, and could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, okay, I know."

After all, even though Xu Jie always looks nonchalant and unserious on weekdays, he will usually do what Ye Changqing tells him to do seriously.

After dealing with this matter properly, Ye Changqing did not stay in the sect for long.

He personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal for everyone in the sect.

After everyone sat together and enjoyed the delicious food, Ye Changqing led the Fairy of Flowers and several other women on their journey home, returning to the bustling town together.

When Ye Changqing returned to the cafeteria, night had already fallen quietly, and the inky black sky covered the earth like a huge piece of black silk.

The faint moonlight shone through the clouds, barely illuminating the way forward for him.

Ye Changqing dragged his slightly tired body into the cafeteria, found a seat at random and sat down. Before he could even sit down completely, the figures of those people from yesterday appeared in front of him again.

Ye Changqing already knew about the arrival of these people. He calmly signaled Li Chengshan to bring them in.

When the few people stood still, before they could speak, Ye Changqing spoke first.

"I say, seniors, your actions are clearly a scam. Who would be so stupid as to throw their own treasures on the ground?"

Faced with Ye Changqing's questioning, those people were stunned at first, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

However, they were all veterans and quickly adjusted their mood, pretending to be ignorant and innocent. One of them responded in a serious tone.

"Is this...really true? We don't remember such a thing happening."

Another person quickly echoed.

"Yes, yes, maybe the treasure was dropped accidentally."

Another person nodded seriously to show his agreement.

"Well, it's very likely that I accidentally lost it somewhere at some time."

Hearing these people's far-fetched explanations, Ye Changqing couldn't help feeling speechless.

But he knew very well that it would be futile to continue to tangle with these people, so he could only sigh helplessly and spoke slowly.

"Forget it, since the treasure has been in the hands of our Daoyi Immortal Sect, let's deal with it according to the conditions agreed upon with Patriarch Wang and his men. I think the seniors should have no objection, right?"

Before he finished speaking, those people's faces immediately broke into ecstatic smiles and they nodded in response without hesitation.

"Of course, no problem. It's really great to be able to resolve this matter under such conditions."

This was perfectly fine; in fact, it was what they had expected.

Seeing Ye Changqing nodding in agreement, how could he be reluctant?

If they really didn't want to, then when they learned that Ye Changqing had returned, these people wouldn't have been so impatient and rushed here in such a hurry.

Although he felt a little helpless, Ye Changqing still agreed to it.

After he saw these people off, he turned around and went to rest and adjust himself.

However, what was unexpected was that in the following days, someone leaked and spread the news.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the entire town.

When people in the city heard that there was such a wonderful way of operating, they couldn't suppress their inner excitement and began to imitate it.

After all, the ready-made successful cases are already clearly in front of everyone, and they just need to follow suit.

As a result, not long after, the scene outside Daoyi Immortal Sect became extremely spectacular - all kinds of treasures were piled up like mountains, too numerous to count.

Whether it is the huge fairy boat, the powerful magical weapon, the small and exquisite spiritual fruit, and the elixir with different effects, etc., it can be said that there is a dazzling array and everything is available.

For a moment, this place seemed like an inexhaustible mysterious treasure house, dazzling and overwhelming.

Faced with the countless treasures piled up like mountains in front of them, which were dazzling and emitting alluring light and breath, Yunxiantai and his group were itching to get some. They stared at these rare treasures with their eyes wide open, and the saliva in their mouths kept flowing like a flood that had broken through a dam.

However, despite their hearts filled with desire and greed, they still remembered Ye Changqing's previous stern instructions and knew that the consequences of disobeying orders would be disastrous. Therefore, no matter how tormented they were in their hearts, they could only desperately endure the impulse and force themselves to restrain themselves from reaching out to pick up the treasures that were so close at hand.

As for Xu Jie, his performance was even more exaggerated.

He simply hid in the cave and began to practice in seclusion, trying to distract himself from the treasures in this way.

However, even though he was inside the cave, his thoughts were still as uncontrollable as a wild horse, and all he could think about were the mouth-watering treasures outside the cave.

On this day, Zhao Zhengping came to visit Xu Jie.

The moment he stepped into the cave and saw Xu Jie, he was shocked by the other's haggard face.

Xu Jie's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he had gone through a great torture.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for just a few days, how could you be so exhausted?"

Zhao Zhengping asked in astonishment.

Xu Jie shook his head with a bitter face and said with a long sigh.

"Brother, don't mention it. It's all because of the treasures outside. You said there are so many treasures out there, it's like treasures everywhere, but we can only watch and can't even touch them."
