However, suspicion was suspicion, but with Xu Jie's next sentence, Shen Xian completely lost his temper.

"Sigh, as the saying goes, haste makes waste. Since you have no patience, Junior Brother, it seems you and I are not meant to be. When it comes time to order the dish, Senior Brother won't call you."

You son of a bitch.

Gritting his teeth until they rattled, he thought about how he had persisted for over half a month; wouldn't giving up now be a huge loss?

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, revealing a smile uglier than crying, and flattered.

"Senior Brother, what are you saying? We fellow disciples have always been like brothers; not blood brothers, but better than blood brothers."

"Senior Brother, your shoulders must be sore. Let Junior Brother do it; those guys are clumsy and don't know how to take care of people."

Saying this, Shen Xian stepped forward and directly snatched the shoulder-massaging job.

At this, Xu Jie smiled satisfactorily, with an expression of "a child who can be taught."

"Junior Brother, rest assured. As long as Senior Brother has something to eat, you will definitely have your share."

"Then Junior Brother thanks Senior Brother."

"Easy, easy."

For the next few days, Shen Xian and the others continued to serve Xu Jie honestly.

However, in the process, everyone also asked indirectly when they would eat this ordered dish.

Damn it, how could this meal be so hard to eat? It had already been a month.

For the sake of this ordered dish, Shen Xian could be said to have paid too much.

And under the constant questioning of the crowd, Xu Jie finally gave a clear answer.

"Junior Brother, don't worry, we'll eat tomorrow."

"Really?"

"When has Senior Brother ever lied to you?"

"Then Junior Brother thanks Senior Brother here."

Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Shen Xian, thinking he could finally eat this ordered dish tomorrow, almost cried out of excitement.

For this ordered dish, he had worked like an ox and a horse for over a month; was it easy?

Fortunately, he had finally made it through.

Looking forward to the next day, finally reaching dinner time, Shen Xian, Zhao Zhengping, and the other invited direct disciples walked toward the cafeteria with anticipation and excitement.

They were unhurried along the way, watching the fellow disciples rushing frantically toward the cafeteria; Shen Xian and the others appeared leisurely and content.

"Sigh, it's good not to have to fight for food."

"Senior Brother, are you not eating today?"

"What do you know? We are eating an ordered dish today."

Even when a passing Junior Brother asked with confusion, the few of them all had smug expressions.

Today they were different from usual; today they were people who were going to eat an ordered dish.

Hearing this, the Junior Brothers couldn't help but reveal a look of envy. An ordered dish; they also wanted to eat, but unfortunately, they didn't have the chance.

Don't think too much; they didn't have that fate, so they'd better honestly go fight for food.

Arriving at the cafeteria unhurriedly, at this time, the disciples had long since finished fighting, and those who had eaten were satisfied, while the failed ones were full of regret.

As for Zhao Zhengping and Shen Xian, they swaggered into the cafeteria.

But after they stepped into the cafeteria, they didn't see the delicious feast they had imagined was already prepared. Instead, Shen Xian saw Xu Jie holding a large bowl, eating with great satisfaction.

"This..."

A bad premonition immediately arose in his heart. Shen Xian poked Zhao Zhengping's shoulder, and following the direction of his finger, Zhao Zhengping and the others naturally saw Xu Jie.

"Damn..."

Striding to Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping asked with a final glimmer of hope.

"Third Junior Brother, aren't we eating an ordered dish? Why are you eating regular food?"

This was Zhao Zhengping's last pride, but Xu Jie's answer undoubtedly shattered this last hope.

"Oh, I observed the stars last night and found that today is not a good day to eat an ordered dish, so I decided to change it to another day."

Not eating?

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengping and the others were instantly stunned. They hadn't slept all night, counting on this ordered dish today, and you're telling us you're not eating?

What's even more unforgivable is, if you weren't going to eat, couldn't you have said so earlier? We came over leisurely, didn't even get a seat, and now you say you're not eating?

You say you're not eating, so you're not eating?

Without surprise, the few of them gritted their teeth, and their fists were tightly clenched.

If it weren't for the last shred of reason in their hearts telling them not to fight in the cafeteria, they probably would have torn Xu Jie apart.

However, this was limited to the cafeteria; they turned and left without a word.

After finishing his meal, Xu Jie, feeling satisfied, had just walked out of the cafeteria door when he immediately heard an angry shout.

"Xu San, pay with your life."

"Give it to me, Xu Laosan."

"Who?"

Turning his head to look, before he could see who it was, a fist the size of a sand pot appeared before his eyes, followed by a massive force, and then dizziness.

Qinlong's heavy punch directly hammered Xu Jie to the ground. Zhao Zhengping, Shen Xian, and the others followed closely, surrounding Xu Jie and giving him a sound beating.

"I'm going to kill you today, damn it."

"Xu Jie, I knew you were cheap before, but I didn't think you could be this cheap."

"One shouldn't be as cheap as you, at least."

"Why waste words with him? Get him."

This beating was definitely filled with hatred, and the many disciples around who saw this scene felt their scalps tingle.

Fellow disciples, is it necessary to be this ruthless?

"Deacon, is your Punishment Hall not going to manage this?"

Seeing a deacon from the Punishment Hall standing nearby, a disciple asked weakly.

They were really afraid Xu Jie would be beaten to death.

But hearing this, the Punishment Hall deacon curled his lip and said with hatred.

"He deserves it."

Huh???

Do you know what you're saying, damn it? You're a Punishment Hall deacon; what do you mean he deserves it?

Many disciples knew what Xu Jie had done, including the Punishment Hall deacon, so many disciples present also felt that Xu Jie truly deserved it.

Who told him to be this cheap?

After a sound beating, Zhao Zhengping leaned over, looking down at Xu Jie, and said with an icy tone.

"Third Junior Brother, I hope to eat an ordered dish tomorrow, understand?"

They didn't really go for the kill, but superficial injuries were unavoidable. Xu Jie, with a bruised and swollen face, looked at the icy Zhao Zhengping and nodded repeatedly.

"Understand, understand. What dish would Senior Brother like to eat tomorrow?"

"You figure out the arrangements."

"Good, good."

After being rubbed into the ground by the few of them, Xu Jie finally became honest. Seeing this, Zhao Zhengping and the others left with satisfaction.

Even if the Heavenly King came tomorrow, they would eat this ordered dish. A month! Pounding legs and massaging shoulders; if they couldn't eat this ordered dish again, Xu Jie could arrange his own funeral.
