Ye Qiu felt increasingly uneasy while he was sitting in the main hall.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Qingzhu served the dishes one by one. The dishes looked delicious and they smelled good.
Ye Qiu felt, “Hm… it looks pretty fragrant. It should be okay, right?” He’s hesitating.
“Master, the dishes are here. Quick, try them.” Lin Qingzhu sat at the side with her chin in her hands, looking very expectant.
Ye Qiu couldn’t bear it. Wouldn’t he be letting his disciple down if he didn’t try it? “Hmm, let’s go all out…” Gritting his teeth, Ye Qiu picked up a piece of meat and closed his eyes.
!!“Eh…” Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up after taking one bite.
The meat was delicious and juicy. It was not as bad as he had imagined. Instead, it was especially delicious.
Ye Qiu was truly astonished. This little girl actually had such skill? Didn’t that mean he could enjoy delicious food in the future?
“Master, how is it? Is it delicious?” Lin Qingzhu asked anxiously. This was her only skill.
“Mhm, your culinary skills are not bad. Be it the color, texture, or taste, they are all very good. I didn’t expect you to have such skills. I’m really impressed.”
Lin Qingzhu was delighted when she heard Ye Qiu’s review. She immediately flaunted. “When I was at home, I learned it from my mother for a long time. I’m sure her skills are superb. Mother said that if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach. Mother told me to learn how to cook well so that I can cook for my sweetheart in the future.”
When Ye Qiu heard this, he was stunned. The corners of his mouth lifted into an evil smile. “Well, it seems your mother taught you quite a few useful things. However, you can’t be too proud. As the saying goes, one can learn from the old. From today onwards, you’ll be responsible for Violet Cloud Peak’s three meals a day. You should consolidate your energy every day and see if there’s any progress.”
Hehe, I didn’t expect that I would be able to hire a top chef for free. Not bad, not bad. Looks like I’ll have a good life in the future.
When Lin Qingzhu heard this, she did not find anything unusual. At the very least, her master still acknowledged her culinary skills, so she was naturally very happy. It seemed like her mother was right. “As long as Master likes it, I will cook delicious food for you every day. I still have many special dishes that I have yet to make.”
Ye Qiu nodded his head in satisfaction. He also looked forward to the other dishes. “Yes, let’s eat! Finish eating earlier and go back to rest. We still have to cultivate tomorrow.”
“Okay…” Lin Qingzhu also picked up her chopsticks. After cultivating for a day, she was already hungry.
Then, the two of them started to eat like crazy. After the meal, Lin Qingzhu cleaned the utensils and went back to sleep.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Lin Qingzhu stretched lazily, pushed open the door, and walked out. After a night of rest, her cultivation had completely stabilized. She did not cultivate yesterday, and her cultivation was still at level one of Black Finger.
She glanced at Ye Qiu’s room. The door was still closed.
“Master hasn’t woken up yet.” Lin Qingzhu didn’t think too much about it and went straight into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Ye Qiu.
When the sun completely rose, Lin Qingzhu had already prepared breakfast and was about to wake Ye Qiu up.
Suddenly, a light flashed across the horizon. Lin Qingzhu was stunned. Why would someone come to visit Violet Cloud Peak so early in the morning? Could it be Qi Wuhui again?
As the light drew closer, Lin Qingzhu finally saw who it was.
A beautiful woman in red slowly descended, her gaze stopping on her impressive chest. Lin Qingzhu subconsciously felt inferior.
She muttered to herself, “What kind of elixir did this person take to make it so big? She wouldn’t have come to seduce Master, right? This won’t do. This woman is very dangerous. I’m afraid Master will fall for her tricks and be seduced by her. I can’t let her see Master…”
At this moment, Lin Qingzhu noticed that there was a little girl following behind her.
“Yaya…”
Lin Qingzhu recognized that young lady. She was Su Ya, the best friend that she had grown up with in the same village. Ever since they parted at the Jade Pure Hall, she had not seen Su Ya again.
“Qingqing, I’m here to see you…” At the sight of Lin Qingzhu, Su Ya bolted over and threw herself into her embrace.
Lin Qingzhu did not resist as well. The moment she caught sight of Su Ya once more, she was overwhelmed with emotions and hugged her tightly.
“Yaya, why are you here?” After a short chat, Lin Qingzhu hurriedly asked.
“I begged Master to bring me here!” Su Ya pointed at Ming Yue behind her and smiled happily.
When Lin Qingzhu heard this, she turned around and looked at the beautiful woman behind her. She seemed to have some impression of her. Back at the Jade Pure Hall, she was the one who chose Su Ya. She heard from Liu Qingfeng that this person was the master of the Sky Water Peak who only accepted female disciples. Ming Yue! A peerless beauty with a broad chest, intellectual and elegant demeanor.
“Greetings, Perfected Ming Yue…” Lin Qingzhu quickly bowed. As a junior, especially as the First Disciple of Violet Cloud Peak, she couldn’t be rude.
Ming Yue smiled faintly and only nodded. Looking at Lin Qingzhu, she felt a little embarrassed. She had wanted to choose Lin Qingzhu as well. However, she discovered that Lin Qingzhu’s talent was average and she didn’t have much time to take care of a single disciple, so she only took in Su Ya.
Later on, when she saw Lin Qingzhu standing there helplessly, she felt remorseful and recalled her past self. She could not bear to see her like this. She was prepared to take her in as well, but she didn’t expect Ye Qiu to beat her to it.
As long as she didn’t end up becoming a labor disciple. Even though becoming Ye Qiu’s disciple was no different from being a labor disciple. However, she was at least the First-Seat’s personal disciple, so her status wasn’t that bad.
Now that she saw Lin Qingzhu again, she felt a little embarrassed. After all, she did not choose Lin Qingzhu back then.
“Sigh…” Ming Yue sighed and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. I came to Violet Cloud Peak this time because Yaya told me every day that she missed you and didn’t have the heart to cultivate. Since there’s nothing much to do today, I brought her here to let the two of you catch up.”
Lin Qingzhu was taken aback by Su Ya’s actions. But thinking about it, it made sense. After experiencing the destruction of their family, both of them were each other’s family. It was normal for them to feel a little reliant on each other.
At this moment, Su Ya walked up and said, “Master, didn’t you say that you would bring Qingqing back with us?”
In the past few days, Su Ya had also heard some things about Ye Qiu. When she thought about how her good friend was under Ye Qiu’s tutelage, she feared that she wouldn’t have a good life in the future. That was why she begged Ming Yue for a few days before she agreed to come with her to see if Lin Qingzhu was willing to go back with her.
Ming Yue smiled faintly and said, “You can ask her if she’s willing…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingzhu’s expression changed. “Yaya, what do you mean? Are you bringing me back?”
Su Ya walked to Lin Qingzhu’s ear and whispered, “I begged Master for several days before Master agreed to come with me. Come back with us. My master is a level five Hidden Life expert. She can teach you many things. I heard that the master of Violet Cloud Peak is only a level two Black Finger cultivator. He can’t teach you anything. If you stay here, you’ll only delay your own future.”
Lin Qingzhu’s face turned cold. However, since Su Ya was doing this for her own good, she could not flare up. But, when she heard her slandering his master, she felt extremely upset.
“Yaya, I appreciate your kind intentions. However, I have already acknowledged him as my master, so it’s impossible for me to transfer to her. My Master treats me very well, and I really like Violet Cloud Peak. This is my other home…” Lin Qingzhu said firmly.
Ming Yue’s face turned cold upon hearing this.
