Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

Chapter 98 The Home-Style Taste of a Cultivator

Su Wan never allowed Chen Anran and the others to drink alcohol, saying that cultivators need to maintain a clear mind, and that indulging in alcohol can easily disturb their minds and hinder their path. Especially Feng Xiaolu, who is so impulsive, would probably be even more reckless if he got drunk.

Feng Xiaolu, stung by Chen Anran and Xiao Ling'er's combined attack on her sore spot, immediately wilted and muttered dejectedly, "...I was just saying, I might not actually drink it. Besides, Senior Sister isn't all-seeing and all-hearing..."

Even so, her voice grew softer and softer, clearly showing that her reverence for Su Wan was ingrained in her very being.

Seeing Feng Xiaolu's discomfiture, Zhao Mengmeng couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Don't worry, Immortal Master Feng, the internet cafe and bar will be strictly managed to ensure an elegant and quiet environment. We can also offer some non-alcoholic specialty drinks with unique flavors that are equally worth trying."

"This is great!" Feng Xiaolu's attention was immediately diverted, and she began to look forward to the "specialty drinks" of the future.

She turned to Chen Anran, winking at him, "Junior Brother, look how much effort Mengmeng put in! This resort is practically tailor-made for our Yunyin Sect!"

Looking at Zhao Mengmeng's slightly apprehensive yet expectant eyes, and Feng Xiaolu's undisguised joy, Chen Anran understood perfectly well the "good intentions" behind Zhao Mengmeng's plan.

He smiled helplessly and nodded to Zhao Mengmeng: "You've thought it through very well. Since it's entrusted to you, you can decide on these details."

With Chen Anran's confirmation, Zhao Mengmeng felt relieved, and her smile became even brighter: "We'll build another children's playground, and I heard that Master Wei seems to like reading, so I plan to build a library... By the way, Master Chen and the Sect Leader, is there any facility you particularly want?"

She looked intently at Chen Anran, clearly prioritizing his preferences.

Chen Anran looked at Zhao Mengmeng's eyes, which seemed to say "Hurry up and make your request," and shook his head with a smile: "I don't have any special needs. And Senior Sister has always preferred quiet and rarely comes down the mountain. Just follow your plans, there's no need to put us first in everything."

Zhao Mengmeng was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up again.

"It's okay, I'll continue to observe and gradually improve it!" Zhao Mengmeng said with great enthusiasm.

As the sun completely sank behind the mountains, the noise from the construction site gradually subsided, and the workers began to finish their work.

"Let's go, let's go back and grill some fish!" Feng Xiaolu, carrying a bucket of water, took the lead. "I'm starving!"

The group chatted and laughed as they returned to the mountain.

As promised, Chen Anran set up a small stove in the backyard of the sect and skillfully prepared the silver threadfin fish. The fish was not large, but the meat was extremely tender. It only needed to be sprinkled with salt and cumin and grilled over charcoal until the skin was slightly charred. The oil dripped down and made a "sizzling" sound, and the aroma instantly filled the air.

Little Bell and Feng Xiaolu sat around the stove, watching intently, their mouths watering. Zhao Mengmeng also watched curiously from the side; she had never eaten such natural food before.

"Okay, be careful, it's hot." Chen Anran handed the first grilled fish to Xiaoling'er, and then grilled the second one.

Feng Xiaolu eagerly took the second fish, blew on it, and carefully took a bite. The crispy outside and tender inside of the fish, mixed with the aroma of cumin, exploded in her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "Mmm! Delicious!"

Chen Anran handed the third perfectly grilled silver threadfin bream to Zhao Mengmeng, looked up at the courtyard gate, and asked, "Where's Senior Sister? Hasn't she come yet?"

Feng Xiaolu was carefully picking fish bones with her head down when she heard this. Without looking up, she replied, "I called her. She said she'll be here in a bit and told us to eat first."

Upon hearing this, Chen Anran nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He placed the few freshly grilled fish he was holding on a clean plate to the side, "Then leave a few for Senior Sister, keep them warm by the stove."

The charcoal crackled softly, and the aroma of grilled fish mingled with the twilight in the backyard of the Cloud Hidden Sect. Several people sat around a small stove, enjoying this rare moment of leisure and delicious food.

Feng Xiaolu suddenly asked, "Junior Brother, how do you think our Second Senior Sister is doing in Guang City?"

Chen Anran was taken aback. "You haven't contacted her?"

"Yes, I spoke to her on the phone just last month and even transferred 500,000 yuan to her," Feng Xiaolu said. "But seeing those villagers today, I suddenly had a feeling."

Chen Anran asked, "How does it feel?"

"It feels like even though she has money now, she's still working odd jobs everywhere."

Chen Anran said he didn't believe Wei Qingyi would go to work. Those villagers were simple and honest. Their second senior sister had read so many books and was still in college. She didn't lack money. How could she go to work?

"Anyway, I think it's unlikely."

Feng Xiaolu scoffed, "Haven't you heard of a woman's sixth sense?"

Chen Anran retorted, "Then why didn't your sixth sense tell you that tomb raiding would get you arrested by the police?"

Feng Xiaolu was left speechless by the rebuttal.

Chen Anran, however, had no intention of letting her off the hook. He sighed and said, "Of the three senior sisters, you are the most troublesome."

"Nonsense! Second Senior Sister is the one who's even more troublesome. If it weren't for the last time we met Zhao Yang... cough, Chairman Zhao, let's see how you would have solved her two million problem."

Chen Anran rolled her eyes, but didn't defend Wei Qingyi. She only said, "Anyway, among the three senior sisters, the eldest senior sister is the most reliable and the least worrisome."

Little Ling'er held up the grilled fish, "My master is the best!"

Feng Xiaolu agreed wholeheartedly and did not refute it.

Zhao Mengmeng listened with curiosity.

As the group was chatting and laughing, a gentle voice sounded from behind them.

"I could smell the aroma from a long way off; it seems I've arrived just in time."

Everyone turned around and saw that Su Wan had quietly arrived in the backyard at some point, standing under the porch and smiling at them. She had changed out of her usual elegant long dress and was wearing a moon-white casual outfit. Her long hair was loosely tied up, and she looked less aloof as the sect leader and more gentle and domestic.

"Senior Sister!" Feng Xiaolu called out indistinctly, a fish still dangling from her mouth.

Little Bell immediately ran over, holding the half-eaten grilled fish: "Master, Master! Try it! Junior Uncle's grilled fish is so delicious!"

Su Wan bent down, gently blew on Xiao Ling'er's hand, then carefully took a small bite. After savoring it, her eyes revealed admiration: "Hmm, the cooking time is just right, the fish is tender, and the cumin enhances the flavor. An Ran's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Chen Anran handed a fish that Wen had grilled by the stove to Su Wan, saying, "Senior Sister, this is for you."

Su Wan accepted the grilled fish from Chen Anran and gracefully sat down on a stone bench nearby. She ate it in small bites, her gaze gently sweeping over the people sitting around the stove before finally settling on Chen Anran.

"Anran, I noticed that the worry between your brows has lessened considerably today. Have you figured something out?" Su Wan asked softly.

Chen Anran was slightly taken aback, then nodded frankly: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister, and also Third Senior Sister and Xiaoling'er. I was too persistent before. In the path of cultivation, haste makes waste."

Feng Xiaolu immediately raised her chin proudly: "See! I told you going out to play would be useful! Senior Sister, you don't know, Junior Brother was really good at catching fish today, all of us combined didn't catch as many as him!" As she spoke, she gestured, making Xiaoling'er giggle.
