Chapter 35: Can't Hide It Anymore

At the foot of Divine Jianfeng at dusk, at the kitchen location, the first batch of disciples had already arrived.

Before they had even entered the courtyard gate, they could already smell the fragrance, and the gluttonous worms in their stomachs were instantly hooked, saliva flowing freely.

"So fragrant."

Rushing into the courtyard, the Mapo tofu had already been stir-fried and taken out of the pan. Seeing that there was a new dish, several disciples were incredibly excited.

"Holy crap, a new dish."

"Good, good, good, Junior Brother Changqing is capable."

Although they hadn't eaten yet, just this fragrance alone was enough to make several of them salivate, and they were filled with anticipation.

Without needing Ye Changqing to say much, several disciples immediately prepared to line up, but seeing Xiaobai standing outside the kitchen early on, several of them were stunned.

"An immortal crane?"

How could this kitchen have an immortal crane? And looking at it, it was actually lining up—are you kidding me? An immortal crane knows how to line up too?

"This is a beast pet I raised; you can just call it Xiaobai."

Ye Changqing poked his head out at this time and said. Hearing this, several people were stunned—this Junior Brother Changqing actually has a beast pet? And it's an immortal crane at that.

Several of them were handyman disciples, so naturally, they didn't know the preciousness of a Red-Crowned Immortal Crane, but even an ordinary immortal crane was something out of reach for them.

For a moment, they were all filled with envy, but with delicious food in front of them, they quickly came back to their senses and one after another went to stand behind Xiaobai.

Although an immortal crane was enviable, how could it be more important than eating at this time?

As time passed, more and more disciples arrived at the kitchen. When they saw Xiaobai, they were all stunned, but soon they all obediently went to line up.

Lu Youyou, Facing Liu Shuang, and Until Hong Zun, the master and his two disciples, arrived almost one after another. When Until Hong Zun arrived, the line wasn't too long yet, but seeing that there were already more than a dozen disciples in front, the old man couldn't help but scold.

"You little brats, are you guarding this place? Don't you have tasks to do? Coming so early."

"Peak Master, we finished our tasks long ago."

"Finished?"

Hearing that all the disciples had finished their tasks before coming, Until Hong Zun felt a bit depressed for a moment.

Looking at the sky, it shouldn't be—finishing so early, you must have all taken drugs.

Although the work of a handyman disciple wasn't particularly heavy, it definitely wasn't easy either. According to past experience, they shouldn't have been able to finish by now, and there were so many of them, far from just one or two.

But these guys had actually all finished, which could only mean that their efficiency was ridiculously fast.

Just by arriving a little late, he had been beaten to the punch. Although Until Hong Zun was unhappy, he still obediently went to the end of the line to wait.

After all, he was the one who approved of these rules, and he had even used the rules to make a point more than once before; now, asking him to break the rules was something he really couldn't bring himself to do.

But when Until Hong Zun saw Xiaobai lined up in the first position, he instantly refused to accept it.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's fine that we're lining up, but how did a demonic beast get mixed in here?"

Since when do demonic beasts come to the kitchen to line up? Regarding this, a disciple explained.

"Peak Master, this is allowed by Junior Brother Changqing, who said that Xiaobai is also a member of our Divine Jianfeng."

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun was speechless. It was one thing to compete with people, but since when do we have to compete with a demonic beast for food?

But Xiaobai ignored the crowd behind it completely, its eyes fixed only on the two large basins of stir-fried meat and Mapo tofu.

Not long after, Lu Youyou and Facing Liu Shuang arrived, and following them was Xu Jie, who had been following Lu Youyou all the way.

"Hmm? The kitchen?"

Looking at the small courtyard in front of him and the long line that had already formed, Xu Jie was a bit stunned.

Little Junior Sister hurried over all the way here—could it be just to come to the kitchen to eat? And what's the situation with these disciples? Since when has the kitchen had so many people?

Feeling that his brain couldn't quite keep up, Xu Jie no longer hid his tracks and walked toward the courtyard.

But just as he entered the courtyard, a disciple reminded him.

"Senior Brother, you have to line up to eat."

Being reminded, Xu Jie was stunned—line up? Me?

A dignified personal disciple, having to line up to eat at the kitchen? What kind of joke is this?

But before Xu Jie could speak, a familiar voice instantly reached Xu Jie's ears.

"You heartless thing, if I hadn't raised you with such effort back then, would you have today? And you won't even switch positions with me?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Until Hong Zun standing beside Xiaobai, scolding angrily.

It turned out that Until Hong Zun saw Xiaobai in the first position and wanted to go up and switch positions with it. This didn't violate the rules, as long as the other party agreed. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
