I long to return home!

"Okay, stop rushing me, Lao Yu, bring another pot, the pot broke again."

"What? Xiao Xue, be gentle! This is the third pot you've ruined this month!" Manager Yu stamped his feet anxiously, but there was no hint of blame. He knew that the profits Xue Wu brought were far greater than a few pots.

"Ling Jiao, could you go get me a pot?"

"Ok."

Lin Mubai was startled. He found the voice very familiar. He looked up, but Jin Lingjiao had already entered the kitchen. He quickly calmed down. They were dead. There was no need for him to deceive himself anymore.

"Is this chef that amazing? He ruined three pots in a month?" Su Yifeng looked towards the kitchen in shock, as if he had seen a monster.

"No wonder this place is so popular. The chef must be very skilled. Many disciples from various sects sneak off to eat here while on missions down the mountain." Mo Yuchen looked around and saw many disciples of the Luoyun Sect gathered here, like a swarm of bees that had found a nectar source.

While everyone was chatting, Manager Yu had already served the delicious food and said with a smile, "Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests. Just let me know if you need anything." With that, he withdrew to attend to another table of distinguished guests.

Looking at the fragrant food in front of them, no one dared to touch their chopsticks first. Su Yifeng swallowed hard and said, "Xiao Tao, why don't you try this pig liver first?"

Xu Tao nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and reached for the dark, unappetizing pig liver. After hesitating for a while, he ate it in one bite. Instantly, the smooth pig liver entered his mouth, incredibly tender and chewy, and extremely fragrant.

"Delicious...it's so good." Xu Tao's tears poured out like a burst dam, his face filled with satisfaction, as if he was not eating pig liver, but the most delicious thing in the world.

"Really? Let me try." Seeing Xu Tao's infatuated expression, Su Yifeng picked up a piece of pig liver and put it in his mouth. The deliciousness of the pig liver exploded in his mouth. At this moment, he felt as if he were in heaven, flying freely. He also showed a satisfied expression.

Seeing this, Mo Yuchen and Lin Mubai simultaneously picked up a piece and put it in their mouths, savoring it carefully. They were both amazed by the deliciousness of the pig liver.

"This is so delicious!" Mo Yuchen stared wide-eyed at the stir-fried pig liver, lost in a trance. He rolled around on the huge pig liver, savoring the moment.

Then everyone turned to look at Lin Mubai, who had not yet made a comment.

"Delicious..." Lin Mubai felt a little embarrassed by the look. He thought it was indeed delicious, but there was no need to make such an expression.

"Esteemed guests, our head chef said that eating these dishes without rice would be a waste... This rice is a complimentary gift from our restaurant." Manager Yu brought out four bowls of steaming rice and placed them on the table, then introduced each dish to Su Yifeng.

Upon hearing Manager Yu's words, the group couldn't wait to pick up other dishes and stuff them into their mouths with rice. The mixed aromas kept assaulting their taste buds, and they suddenly realized how wrong it was to abstain from grains.

"Boss, come and make me a seat."

A man dressed in the robes of a Yin Peak disciple stood tall and straight like a pine tree. He led several Yin Peak disciples in. His attitude was arrogant and domineering, as if everything in the world had to bow down to him.

"Gentlemen, our restaurant is full, and since you didn't make a reservation, there are really no extra seats available..." The waiter rubbed his hands together and explained with a smile, his voice full of flattery and ingratiation.

“Li Yunfei!” Xu Tao blurted out. He recognized him; they were both at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and were among the best disciples of Yin Peak in Baibing Valley this time.

Su Yifeng and the other two ignored it and continued eating.

"Get lost! I don't care if the place is full or not when I eat." Li Yunfei pushed aside the waiter blocking his way, swaggered in with his fellow disciples, looked around and saw that Su Yifeng's seat was very good. He quickly stepped forward, slammed his hand on the table, and the powerful true energy made the table crack slightly.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way right now." Li Yunfei's voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire inn, carrying an arrogant and domineering air.

"Say it again? I didn't hear you clearly." Su Yifeng put down his chopsticks and glared fiercely at Li Yunfei, his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to shred Li Yunfei's soul.

Lin Mubai and Mo Yuchen also put down their chopsticks at the same time. Their eyes were like torches as they coldly looked at Li Yunfei, who had smashed the table, as if he were an ant that they could crush at any moment.

"Ah?! Elder Su, Elder Lin, Elder Mo, this disciple did not know you were eating here. Please forgive me, elders." Li Yunfei's arrogant attitude immediately died down, and he regretted his foolish decision to come to this table.

Upon hearing this, Su Yifeng picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating, then said anxiously, "Old Mo, leave some for me."

"Sir, I'm so sorry, our shop is really full. If you want to eat here, you'll have to wait until next time," Manager Yu said respectfully.

Li Yunfei ignored them and walked straight to a table full of fellow disciples, shouting, "Get out of the way."

"Damn it! Are you deaf? I already said there were no seats available, and you still dare to cause trouble here?" Xue Wu's angry shouts came from the kitchen. Just now, the waiter ran over to tell him that someone was causing trouble.

Xue Wu and Jin Lingjiao stormed out of the kitchen, heading straight for the troublemaker Li Yunfei. Lin Mubai was startled, staring at Xue Wu and Jin Lingjiao as they emerged, his dejected expression softening slightly. Su Yifeng and the others followed his gaze and saw the unharmed Jin Lingjiao. The two also looked incredulous. At this moment, Jin Lingjiao noticed Lin Mubai sitting to the side, tears welling in her eyes, and ran to his side.

"Can you get lost or do I have to kick you out?" Xue Wu stood in front of Lin Yunfei and shouted as their eyes met.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Who do I care who you are? You're not my son, why should I know you?"

"Get out!" Lin Mubai's angry shout rang out, and his powerful aura blasted Lin Yunfei and the others out of Ruyi Pavilion.

Xue Wu was startled, turned to look at Lin Mubai who had a fierce look on his face, and tears welled up in his eyes. He excitedly ran to Lin Mubai and knelt down.

"Master!"

Manager Yu understood, so he quietly dismissed all the guests and closed the door early, leaving only Lin Mubai's table.

Lin Mubai trembled as he helped Xue Wu up. If he hadn't seen Xue Wu today, he might have felt guilty for the rest of his life. He helped Xue Wu sit down beside him and hugged him tightly.

"It's good that you're back..."

"Master, let me go cook for you first, and then we can talk slowly."

Lin Mubai then released Xue Wu. Xue Wu wiped away his tears and returned to the kitchen to cook all the signature dishes. Soon after, he brought a dazzling array of dishes to the table.

Su Yifeng and the others were so engrossed in watching that their mouths were practically watering. Jin Lingjiao picked up her chopsticks and began to wolf down her food, showing no grace whatsoever. Seeing this, Su Yifeng also picked up his chopsticks and, without any hesitation, began to stuff the food into his mouth.

Xue Wu also recounted his experiences over the past year to Lin Mubai without omitting anything, including details about the spiritual veins and his current breakthrough to the fourteenth level of Qi Refining.
