Chapter 1148: Want to eat one together?

After a round of thanks, Zhāng Tiānzhèn didn't even have time to pay attention to everyone, happily hugging that pile of Iron Generals as he ran off.

Ah, what are you running for? Put down my Iron General.

Even when Capture Dragon shouted from behind, he didn't pay the slightest attention.

As for Shan Hu, he was completely forgotten; it looks like Zhāng Tiānzhèn will be entering closed-door cultivation for a while.

Only Capture Dragon wore a gloomy expression.

What the hell is this? This is my Dragon Elephant Peak's Iron General; if you're taking it, you should at least say hello.

He didn't say a word, just grabbed it and ran—what kind of thing is this?

Capture Dragon Peak Master, I'll compensate for that Iron General.

Looking at Capture Dragon's gloomy face, Ye Zhangqing said with a smile.

After all, this was Shan Hu's doing; Zhāng Tiānzhèn turned misfortune into blessing, but the cost of the Iron Generals will definitely be borne by him.

As for this, Capture Dragon said indifferently.

Ye Zhangqing, what do you mean by that? A few Iron Generals are nothing at all.

What kind of person is Ye Zhangqing? He's the one who puts hot food on the table; how could he possibly care about such a tiny amount of money?

Although the Iron Generals aren't cheap, for Dragon Elephant Peak now it's no pressure at all—just a drop in the bucket.

After exchanging pleasantries, Capture Dragon said he didn't want any compensation.

Ye Zhangqing had no choice but to resort to his killer move.

"Then tonight I'll set a table; Capture Dragon Peak Master, you definitely have to give me face."

Huh???

As soon as he said that, Capture Dragon's eyes lit up; if you put it that way, I won't be sleepy at all.

All previous politeness gone, he instead looked afraid that if he slowed down Ye Zhangqing might change his mind, nodding repeatedly.

"Good, good, good—I'll definitely be there tonight."

Who would want compensation? Besides, a few Iron Generals—what's that worth?

But eating is different, and it's a full table.

What does that amount to? It's like having a private meal, and with Ye Zhangqing as host, how could the standard be low?

You know, nowadays getting a bite of a private meal is getting stricter and stricter.

With this opportunity right now, could Capture Dragon possibly miss it?

Not just him—even Hong Zun, Lin Potian and the others nearby, seeing this, all thick‑skinnedly came over.

"Hehe, sounds like I'm in on this."

"Exactly, exactly, we've set it for tonight."

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing felt somewhat helpless; he had originally intended to make amends, but now there are too many people.

Since it's an apology, surely we can't just make a big pot of rice for everyone to eat from their own bowls—would that still count as an apology?

But with so many people, Ye Zhangqing would find it quite a hassle to arrange.

After thinking, Ye Zhangqing simply dumped this mess onto Capture Dragon.

"Tonight I'm apologizing to Capture Dragon Peak Master; the other peak masters should just ask Capture Dragon Peak Master—I have no problem with that, just a nod from him will do."

Ye Zhangqing already planned the evening's menu; as for how many people Capture Dragon invites, that's up to him.

Having said that, Ye Zhangqing didn't wait for anyone's reply, grabbed Shan Hu, slipped away, and took off running.

After Ye Zhangqing left, Capture Dragon was naturally surrounded by everyone, all chattering at once.

"Junior Brother, tonight's meal is up to you."

"Yeah, yeah, we've been fellow disciples for thousands of years—you're not bringing me?"

"Senior Brother, remember when we first joined? All the money you spent at the Gōulán was paid by me—don't I deserve some repayment?"

"The Master always says, a man's knees hold gold; Junior Brother, today is the time for Senior Brother to collect his dues—accept my bow, Senior Brother."

As soon as they heard there'd be good food tonight, nobody wanted to miss out—flattery, threats, bribes, they just spouted it all.

But Capture Dragon isn't stupid either; he naturally knows what everyone's thinking.

But he has no intention of bringing anyone along.

Joking aside, I can barely eat enough myself—bringing one more person would just be bringing a competitor.

Moreover, even if he brought just one person, Capture Dragon feels he'd have to split at least half with them.

Eating slowly by myself—wouldn't that be better?

So Capture Dragon didn't even think about it; he just shook his head and refused.

"Honored senior brothers, I think we'll forget about it; today I have some matters to discuss with Ye Zhangqing—another day, another day we'll get together."

Huh???

As soon as he said that, Hong Zun, Lin Potian and the others' eyes turned red immediately.

You little bastard, we haven't treated you badly day to day, have we? All us fellow disciples have gone through life and death together, and now you're eating a private meal without me—how is that acceptable?

Immediately, Hong Zun threw an arm around Capture Dragon's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother has treated you pretty well in this lifetime, hasn't he?"

He was smiling, but the chill in his words made Capture Dragon shudder involuntarily.

No, you may be smiling, but what's with that face like you want to eat someone?

But before Capture Dragon could reply, Lin Potian likewise threw an arm around his neck.

"Senior Brother, back when you had no money, I, the junior brother, kept inviting you to listen to music—you won't forget that, will you?"

"I................"

Sensing a faint killing intent, Capture Dragon forced an unnatural grin.

Um, all senior and junior brothers, do you think we should first loosen? Our brotherhood is as close as hands and feet—how could I forget you senior brothers with my Capture Dragon a bite? Rest assured..............

As Capture Dragon spoke, Hong Zun and Lin Potian relaxed their guard, loosening up a bit.

Just then, Capture Dragon suddenly pointed at the sky behind everyone and shouted.

Holy shit, what is that.............

Hearing that, everyone instinctively turned their heads, but at a glance there was nothing.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, they turned back—there was no trace of Capture Dragon.

Hong Zun and Lin Potian, being even more inattentive, let Capture Dragon escape.

Damn it, this bastard dares to run.

Chase!

First, capture him.

Prepare the severe punishment.

In a moment, the fellow brothers, without a word, directly pursued.

Capture Dragon, fleeing desperately ahead, felt a strong chill coming from behind, and his hairs stood on end.

Holy shit, fellow sect brothers, is it really necessary?

Capture Dragon, if you have the skill, don't run.

Capture Dragon, the tune I asked you to listen to back then—do you want to run today?

Pay back the money, Capture Dragon.

Damn it, back when you went to the Gōulán, the overnight expenses were all paid by me.

Cut the crap, first capture him then talk.

Everyone naturally couldn't let Capture Dragon just escape like that, and seeing the situation, Capture Dragon also knew he could definitely not return to Dragon Elephant Peak.

His eyes darted, and in an instant Capture Dragon thought of only one place; he immediately turned and rushed toward Place: Zhu Feng.

Huh???

Seeing that, the people behind were stunned, then they all started to sneer.

Shī xiōng, even Senior Brother can't protect you today.

Either we all eat together, or none of us eats.

Junior Brother, Senior Brother advises you: don't narrow your path.

Shī xiōng, enjoying alone is not as good as enjoying together; Senior Brother can't protect you, so don't be foolish.
