Looking at the familiar scene, Yue Buqun could not help but take a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he stepped out of the shop door, he had seen the stars shift and the world turn; by the time he opened his eyes again, he had already returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, my internal energy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to think of something, Yue Buqun hurriedly checked his internal cultivation base. Seeing that the increased internal energy was still there, he could not help but laugh out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, with the Immortal's blessing, I, Yue Buqun, shall be invincible in this world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearty laughter echoed through the back of the mountain, and Yue Buqun could not suppress the wild joy in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the effects of that one marinated egg and that one cup of cold boiled water, Yue Buqun felt his future was full of radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wantonly venting the joy in his heart, Yue Buqun finally stopped after a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the current state of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun felt that the most important thing was to go make money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Yue Buqun left the back of the mountain, a figure appeared abruptly and gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired elder looked at Yue Buqun’s departing back with a hint of pity and a trace of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At such a fine age, how could he have gone mad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder sighed, then drifted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yue Buqun knew nothing of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he was asking his wife, Ning Zhongze, how the Huashan Sect could make money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, let us set aside the matter of business for now. I would like to ask, where did those sixty taels of silver go today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Yue Buqun’s urgency, Ning Zhongze, who managed the entire Huashan Sect’s finances, asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand Huashan Sect might seem famous, but it was dirt poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money Ning Zhongze controlled amounted to no more than a few hundred taels of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh? This, Junior Sister, I have my own uses for those sixty taels of silver!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the magic of the gourmet shop, Yue Buqun was not prepared to speak of it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even to his own wife, the person closest to him, Yue Buqun was not prepared to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, such a hole-ridden excuse only made Ning Zhongze suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister, does our Huashan Sect really have no way to conduct business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the price of that one marinated egg—five taels of gold, which was fifty taels of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huashan Sect’s mere few hundred taels of silver were simply not enough for him to use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more impatient Yue Buqun became, the more Ning Zhongze’s brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange, why would he suddenly be so concerned about money for no reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder Ning Zhongze was suspicious; Yue Buqun was being far too abnormal this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having walked the Wulin for decades, their Huashan Sect was famous; logically speaking, they should not be this destitute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of this was because of Yue Buqun’s reputation as the Gentleman Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To pursue a good reputation, the Huashan Sect naturally could not amass wealth wantonly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of his sect's image, Yue Buqun rarely even accepted wealthy disciples into the outer sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from practicing martial arts all day, he had never cared about the sect's finances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for her managing everything painstakingly, the Huashan Sect would have been sleeping on the streets long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decades had passed, and Yue Buqun had never been this desperate for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Involuntarily, Ning Zhongze thought of how Linghu Chong had gone to drink flower wine a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that, in the end, it was Yue Buqun who went to bring him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could today’s sixty taels also be because of this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister? Junior Sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ning Zhongze lost in thought, Yue Buqun called out softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I was lost in thought. Senior Brother, our Huashan Sect has had no way of business for these years; there really is no extra money!\" Returning to her senses and seeing Yue Buqun’s urgent expression, Ning Zhongze felt more and more that her guess was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be that this Yue Buqun went to a flower house and had an affair outside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft, scumbag, messing around outside and still wanting to ask her for money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ning Zhongze confirm this, Yue Buqun sighed in disappointment. With his mind occupied by how to make money, he went to sleep on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed without incident, and by the next morning—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Huashan Sect’s main hall, Yue Buqun was currently examining the various structures of the hall, seeing if there were any valuable items he could take out to sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a male and a female figure walked in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? First thing in the morning, why all the crying and whimpering? What kind of behavior is this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone enter, Yue Buqun immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to look, happening to see Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Lin Pingzhi’s frail, weeping appearance, Yue Buqun was very dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, don't blame Junior Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yue Buqun reprimand Lin Pingzhi, Yue Lingshan’s sympathy overflowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother is already pitiful enough; his parents were murdered, and even the family assets of his security firm were seized by the Qingcheng Sect. Now that he is helpless and alone, we should be kinder to him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Buqun, who was currently troubled by money, had no time to pay attention to this. With a cold snort and a flick of his sleeve, he prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he turned, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly turned back, grabbed Yue Lingshan, and asked excitedly to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, what's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abruptly grabbed by Yue Buqun, Yue Lingshan thought she was about to be punished, and she could not help but mutter softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just said that Junior Brother is already pitiful enough; his parents were murdered and his family assets were seized by others, so we should be kinder to him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words \"family assets,\" a light instantly ignited in Yue Buqun’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahaha, truly, the heavens were helping him, Yue Buqun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the confused expressions of Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, Yue Buqun also realized his lack of composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His years of \"hypocritical gentleman\" skills activated, and he immediately returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder. The latter was slightly startled, thinking he had done something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, Yue Buqun’s words made him happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been too busy lately and neglected your feelings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you are a disciple of my Huashan Sect, then this grudge, our Huashan Sect must avenge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abrupt words not only stunned Lin Pingzhi, but even Yue Lingshan was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's great, Father! Are you really going to help Junior Brother get revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his precious daughter’s excited appearance, Yue Buqun stood with an air of righteousness, grand and imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is only natural. A disciple of my Huashan Sect is not someone just anyone can bully!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these dignified words were spoken, the look in Yue Buqun’s eyes as he watched Lin Pingzhi changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revenge? Sorry, he, Yue Buqun, was not interested!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for assets, he, Yue Buqun, absolutely had to go!\u003C\u002Fp>",1257,"2026-06-21T03:55:25.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a9a8cc15a6695bf3f080a7fe2523f2a9d7152a0cf97d272d5cf196adb638a700","gourmet-shop-of-the-all-heavens-chapter-4","gourmet-shop-of-the-all-heavens-chapter-2",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgourmet-shop-of-the-all-heavens-cover.jpg"]
