I long to return home!

"It's not Old Liu's fault, how can you blame me? It shouldn't violate the sect rules to eat when you're hungry, right? Why don't you try some?" Su Yifeng said with a smile, as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Try my ass! Eighty percent of the sect's disciples are here. Are you all reincarnated starving ghosts? Cultivating immortality is about letting go of your desires to achieve enlightenment... How can you attain enlightenment by eating and drinking like this?" Liu Yusheng cursed without restraint, then pointed to the kitchen and shouted sternly, "You people cooking inside, come out here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Wu untied his apron and came out carrying a bowl of stewed meat and a bowl of egg noodles with meat broth as the base. He had heard someone shouting outside, but he hadn't gone out immediately because he was making noodles. Now he came out and looked at Liu Yusheng with a puzzled expression. What did I do wrong? I just made a meal, did I break any laws?

He pondered for a moment, then went to Su Yifeng's table, put down the stewed meat, and placed the specially made egg noodles in front of Jin Lingjiao.

Jin Lingjiao looked at the egg noodles Xue Wu had specially prepared for her and was speechless. The love in her eyes was almost overflowing as she slurped up the hot egg noodles.

The moment Liu Yusheng and Ye Yingfeng saw Xue Wu, they felt as if they had seen an alien. Especially Liu Yusheng, although he had heard some rumors that Xue Wu had returned, he had only taken them as rumors and had not paid any attention. Now that he saw the real person, who was also the cook, he swallowed back the words of reprimand he was about to say because Lin Mubai was still there.

This situation was unexpected. Reprimanding Xue Wulin and Mu Bai in person would inevitably cause unnecessary conflict, but he couldn't completely ignore it...

He was about to ask Ye Yingfeng for his opinion when he was surprised to find that Ye Yingfeng had already sat down at Su Yifeng's table, with a piece of stewed meat in his mouth and a look of utter infatuation on his face.

"Is Lao Ye delicious?" Su Yifeng asked.

"Delicious! I never imagined bamboo shoots could be cooked like this," Ye Yingfeng said with a satisfied expression.

"Yingfeng, you..." Liu Yusheng stood there awkwardly, stunned. He hadn't expected this situation. He had only intended to reprimand Ye Yingfeng at first, but when he saw Lin Mubai, he thought of scolding the culprit, the cook who stewed the meat. However, he never expected that the cook was Lin Mubai's apprentice. Originally, he had Ye Yingfeng to keep him company, but now even Ye Yingfeng had joined the meat-eating army. He had already prepared his reprimand, but before he could say it, it was cut short.

"Old Liu, don't just stand there like an idiot. Why don't you come and have a bite?" Su Yifeng saw Liu Yusheng standing there awkwardly and understood his situation, so he offered him a way out.

"I won't eat it. I won't stoop to your level and eat such vulgar things," Liu Yusheng said, flatly rejecting the idea and claiming to be of high moral character.

"Doesn't it smell good, Old Night Fragrance?" Su Yifeng saw through the other party's little scheme and asked Night Shadow, who was so engrossed in eating that he lost his sense of self.

"It smells so good, it's making me dizzy..." Ye Yingfeng said in a daze, momentarily forgetting why he came here.

Liu Yusheng frowned deeply, his face turning a deep purplish-red. He was seething with anger, his fists clenched so tightly that his bones cracked. He roared, "All Yin Peak disciples, stop eating! Go back to your quarters!"

For a moment, the Yin Peak disciples inside and outside the room looked reluctantly at the stewed meat in their bowls, and then at the disciples from other peaks who were enjoying their meal. They felt a little envious and had the thought that they should not have entered Yin Peak if they had known earlier.

Seeing a perfectly good meal ruined, Xue Wu felt a little sorry for him. He took a small bowl of stewed meat to Liu Yusheng and said decisively, "Elder Liu, please take a bite of my stewed meat before you give your opinion. People need to eat, otherwise they will be hungry."

"If the elder finds the food unpalatable and of little use, then it's up to you whether these disciples stay or leave. I won't interfere anymore, how about that?"

At this moment, Xue Wu's image was incredibly lofty among these Yin Peak disciples, like a savior spreading the light of hope across the land.

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Liu Yusheng said sternly and displeasedly, as a unique pressure belonging to the Nascent Soul stage swept over him like a tidal wave, as if to drown him.

"Wu, don't worry about him. Let's eat our food. Let him stay or leave as he pleases. There are still a lot of disciples outside who don't have a place." Lin Mubai said calmly, looking at the stewed meat in his bowl. At the same time, he exuded an even stronger aura, like a towering mountain, which suppressed Liu Yusheng's aura.

The scene froze. Just as Liu Yusheng was about to speak, Su Yifeng had already stealthily moved to the side, picked up a piece of stewed meat, and stuffed it into Liu Yusheng's mouth.

"Just eat what I'm told to eat, why are you making such a fuss?"

Liu Yusheng was shocked. Just as he was about to spit out the stewed meat in his mouth, the meat, covered in broth, exploded in his mouth, turning into countless extremely delicious flavors, like a group of mischievous little elves jumping in his mouth. He couldn't help but swallow it down his throat.

"Is it delicious?" Su Yifeng asked with a smile.

"Delicious..." Liu Yusheng blurted out without realizing it, and by the time he realized he had said the wrong thing, it was too late.

"Are we still leaving?" Su Yifeng asked.

"I'll do you a favor today and have a meal with you..." Liu Yusheng was reluctant to agree because of his pride, but the meat was so delicious that he wanted to have another piece after eating it, so he sat down next to Ye Yingfeng.

At this moment, Ye Yingfeng was completely unaware of what had just happened, and continued eating the meat and bamboo shoots. It wasn't until Liu Yusheng sat down that he realized what had happened and said, "Yusheng, no wonder everyone came to eat. This meat is really delicious." After saying that, he continued eating, and soon the stewed meat that had just been served was almost empty.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of Yin Peak were so excited that they danced with joy and began to devour the meat.

"Oh dear, Lao Ye, you're too ruthless! You've almost eaten it all!" Su Yifeng hurriedly picked up the few remaining bamboo shoots and meat, stuffed them into his mouth, and then smiled at Xue Wu, "Xiao Xue, it seems I'll have to trouble you to make some more."

"Of course, that's no problem, but we've already harvested all the bamboo shoots in Xiafeng, so there are no more to cook."

"That's easy." Mo Yuchen put down his chopsticks and beckoned to the Qingfeng disciples sitting beside him, "Wang Can, take a few junior brothers to Qingfeng to dig for loot."

"Yes." Wang Can looked at the little stewed meat left in the bowl. He hadn't had enough, so he quickly called a few strong and healthy fellow disciples to go dig bamboo shoots.

Liu Yusheng coughed a few times, "Gu Yan, you take a few Yin Peak disciples to dig up the bamboo shoots too."

"Elder Liu, have they dug them all up?" Gu Yan asked.

“If you think it’s enough to eat, then dig less; if you want more, it’s up to you,” Liu Yusheng replied.

"Understood. Brothers, if you think there's not enough food, come with me."

In an instant, dozens of Yin Peak disciples appeared from all around, their mouths greasy from eating, and followed Gu Yan out to dig bamboo shoots.
