Chapter 22: Discovered

At the top of Divine Jianfeng, in a simple cave dwelling, besides simple tables, chairs, and benches, there were only full jars of wine and a meditation cushion.

And at this time, an old man wearing gray cloth clothes, drunk, was sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion without any image.

And in front of him were Lu Youyou and Facing Liu Shuang who had just rushed back.

The old man was the Peak Master of Divine Jianfeng, one of the thirty-six peaks of the Dao Yi Sect, Wine Sword Until Hong Zun, a great power who had surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Hiccup, where did you two girls run off to early in the morning?"

Giving a wine hiccup, Until Hong Zun asked with slurred speech. Hearing this, Facing Liu Shuang just wanted to speak, but Lu Youyou took the lead and said.

"Master, Senior Sister and I went for a stroll in the town at the foot of the mountain."

Hearing this, Facing Liu Shuang looked at her little junior sister suspiciously, not knowing why she wanted to deceive Master; wouldn't it be fine to just say they went to the kitchen at the foot of the mountain?

However, she didn't expose her, and Until Hong Zun didn't pay much attention either, still saying drunkenly.

"Don't run around blindly all day if there's nothing to do, especially you, Youyou."

"Understood, Master."

Hearing this, Lu Youyou nodded obediently.

Afterward, Until Hong Zun gave some pointers on the two's cultivation, and it was only after nearly an hour that he let the two leave.

"Junior Sister, why did you deceive Master?"

"Shh, Senior Sister, speak softly."

Just after leaving the cave dwelling, Facing Liu Shuang asked in confusion. Lu Youyou made a gesture to keep quiet, looked back at the cave dwelling, and then hurriedly pulled Facing Liu Shuang away.

After staying away from Master's cave dwelling, Lu Youyou explained to Facing Liu Shuang.

"Senior Sister, let me ask you, is Junior Brother Changqing's food delicious?"

Not knowing what Lu Youyou wanted to say, Facing Liu Shuang still nodded.

"Then does Senior Sister hope that someone will come and snatch food from you?"

She shook her head to indicate she didn't want to.

"Then that's it. Junior Brother Changqing's skills are so good; as long as anyone has eaten it, there is no one who doesn't miss it. If more people know, the competitors will naturally be more. Conversely, one less person, aren't we one less competitor, and we can eat one more mouthful?"

Lu Youyou explained with an expression of "I am very smart," and after Facing Liu Shuang heard these words, she also revealed an expression of sudden realization.

Yes, Junior Brother Changqing is a treasure; such a treasure naturally needs to be hidden well.

No one hopes to have an extra competitor for no reason.

"Junior Sister's words make sense."

"That's right, so Senior Sister, regarding Junior Brother Changqing's affairs, none of us can tell anyone."

"I understand."

The two women had an expression of thinking they were smart, not knowing that in the cave dwelling, after the two women left, Until Hong Zun's mouth curled into a smile.

"Two little girls, still wanting to deceive your master. Your master has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. The oil on the corners of your mouths hasn't even been wiped clean yet."

In the blink of an eye, it was almost mealtime again. In various parts of Divine Jianfeng, chore disciples had hurriedly finished their work, only thinking about queuing up at the kitchen quickly. That stir-fried pork was simply too fragrant; they had to eat two bowls of rice later.

"Senior Brother, if there is nothing else, we will leave first." ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
