Chapter 36

It's just a pity that Until Hong Zun overestimated his own face, or perhaps underestimated Xiaobai's determination to eat, so he was given the cold shoulder.

No matter how he tried to persuade it, or how he tried to threaten or lure it, Xiaobai just wouldn't agree.

This made him incredibly angry.

Seeing that his master was also here, Xu Jie called out in a daze.

"Master?"

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun turned his head to look. Seeing it was Xu Jie, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and then he turned to look at Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang, his eyes clearly carrying a trace of blame and inquiry.

It was as if he was saying, did you two tell him? Didn't we agree to keep it a secret?

However, facing Until Hong Zun's gaze, the two women were also confused, thinking to themselves why Xu Jie would appear here.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing that the two women seemed to be unaware, Until Hong Zun asked with a frown. Regarding this, Xu Jie only felt a wave of grievance—does Master not want me to come here?

Having been master and disciple, why did it feel like Master and Junior Sister were intentionally hiding things from him? A sense of grievance welled up in his heart.

"I saw that Little Junior Sister had been absent-minded these past two days, so I was a bit worried, and so..."

He explained with a grievance-filled expression. Hearing this, Until Hong Zun understood instantly.

He gave Lu Youyou a blaming look—you simpleton, you can't even act properly, and you were seen through by someone so easily?

Regarding this, Lu Youyou felt equally aggrieved; she really hadn't done it on purpose.

But since he was already here, Until Hong Zun couldn't say anything more, he just said.

"If you want to eat, go to the back and line up."

Lining up again—but this time it was Master who said it, so Xu Jie didn't dare to refute and could only obediently go to the end of the line to wait.

At the same time, outside the courtyard, many new faces arrived one after another. These people had all sensed that something was wrong and followed others here; almost all of them were handyman disciples.

But seeing that the final destination was the kitchen, these handyman disciples were also incredibly strange.

They were so excited, they had thought there was some urgent matter, and in the end, it was just to come to the kitchen to eat?

"These guys were so anxious, just for this?"

"Probably."

"Probably my foot. Just to come to the kitchen to eat a meal, they even burned blood energy—do you believe that?"

"Although it's a bit exaggerated, it really is very fragrant."

Someone smelled the fragrance of the dishes in the courtyard and couldn't help but be intoxicated. The others, hearing this, also sniffed hard one after another; it was indeed fragrant.

Without thinking too much, these people also joined the ranks of the line, and for a time, the entire line became even longer. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
