Chapter 1567: What Master Should I Bow To?

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master's gaze made Ye Zhangqing feel a bit uneasy; this look was clearly off.

He asked, feeling uncertain inside.

Senior, what's wrong?

Upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master said with a fiery gaze.

You...............

Huh???

Come on, say something; the more the Vermilion Bird Hall Master acts like this, the more uncertain Ye Zhangqing feels—what does this mean?

His voice drawn out, then the Vermilion Bird Hall Master spoke seriously.

Can you teach me to cook?

Huh???

I never expected the Vermilion Bird Hall Master to say that; you're one of the Four Hall Masters of Yongye, yet you keep getting involved with cooks.

But before Ye Zhangqing could reply, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master directly gave a great gift.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing and the two others were stunned.

Senior, what are you...............

To become your disciple.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master said naturally; in her view, Ye Zhangqing teaching her to cook makes him her Shīzūn.

Before discussing the main matter, you've already taken on a disciple? Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing fell silent.

How did things develop so strangely? This is not right.

He wanted to refuse, but the Vermilion Bird Hall Master was adamant, and Ye Zhangqing himself felt that having such a relationship might help the upcoming talks.

But taking on a disciple was out of the question; the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's status is extraordinary—who knows what trouble accepting her could bring.

After thinking, Ye Zhangqing spoke up.

Senior, there's no need to become my disciple; but if you want to learn, I will naturally teach you wholeheartedly.

But who would have thought, Ye Zhangqing was unwilling to take on a disciple, yet the Vermilion Bird Hall Master firmly insisted.

Since you're teaching me, calling you master is only natural.

Huh???

Why is this guy so stubborn? I said I'd teach you, yet he still insists on a title.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master is dead set on this, and Ye Zhangqing can't do anything about it.

Now the meal is finished, the matter of cooking has been settled; aside from the Vermilion Bird Hall Master insisting on becoming a disciple, which leaves Ye Zhangqing somewhat helpless, everything else is fine.

Next comes the main matter.

Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er naturally cleared the table, while Ye Zhangqing went to the hall with the Vermilion Bird Hall Master.

After they were seated, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master in the chief seat went straight to the point.

Master, I already know your purpose, but achieving this will be difficult.

If it were just the Vermilion Bird Hall, she could simply nod in agreement.

But this is a major matter; even as one of the Four Hall Masters of Yongye, she cannot make the decision.

After all, the opponents are the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace, both forces not weaker than the Yongye organization.

Moreover, even if she agreed, relying solely on the Vermilion Bird Hall's strength would actually be meaningless.

Likewise, they are no match for the demon race and the Haotu Shijie.

Therefore, to accomplish this, Ye Zhangqing must also obtain the consent of the other three Hall Masters and the Old Ancestor.

This is pretty much what Bai Xian'er said; Ye Zhangqing had already been mentally prepared.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing spoke seriously.

So I still hope you can help more.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master's help is naturally indispensable; having her mediate is at least much stronger than Ye Zhangqing fighting alone.

Just saying the word 'senior' always gives Ye Zhangqing a strange feeling.

You call me master, I call you senior—how can this relationship feel so chaotic?

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master readily agreed.

That's naturally no problem, but to succeed, we still need to produce something substantive.

My Chúyì.

Possible, but still not enough.

Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì is indeed a major asset in negotiations, but relying on it alone is still not enough.

After all, facing the demon race and the Human Emperor Palace, for Yongye it is also fraught with danger.

Ye Zhangqing naturally also thought of this; he had prepared his remarks beforehand, so upon hearing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's words, he quickly replied.

Aside from taste, did you feel anything else from those ingredients just now?

Other feelings.....................

Upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master pondered for a moment and recalled.

Aside from taste, the deepest feeling is the effect.

The effects of those dishes are beneficial even for the Vermilion Bird Hall Master.

If it were a cultivator with lower cultivation, the effect would be even greater.

Comparable to the effect of elixirs, this is also not bad.

Having expressed his feelings, upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing nodded in reply.

Not bad; besides taste, the effects of these foods far surpass ordinary spiritual food.

"The reason for this is entirely thanks to the ingredients, and this ingredient is the Demon Race."

Ye Zhangqing spoke about the Demon Race Food Material, and this is also a major reason for persuading Yongye.

Demon Race Food Material is good stuff; after joining forces, we together fight the Demon Race, obtain the ingredients, and Ye Zhangqing is responsible for cooking for Yongye's assassins.

Moreover, Demon Emperor food material is comparable to great medicine, and it can help Great Emperor cultivators break through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Even the Yongye organization probably doesn't have much great medicine.

This is truly Ye Zhangqing's assassin's weapon.

With such a reason, it is enough to move Yongye's heart.

Indeed, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's eyes lit up.

Those delicacies just now were all made using Demon Race Food Material, and she didn't know that at all.

If that's really the case, then the value of the Demon Race would be great.

"Having such a reason is fine; let's do this: I'll contact the other three people, and tomorrow we'll have a meal together. At that time, Master, please show off your skills."

If we want to talk, we definitely need to meet the other three Hall Masters.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing also had no objection; this is the best.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master stepped forward, summoned the other three Hall Masters, which saved Ye Zhangqing a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, visiting them one by one would be troublesome and more likely to be refused.

After settling the matter, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master eagerly wanted to learn Chúyì from Ye Zhangqing.

Ye Zhangqing did not refuse either.

After they helped so much, refusing this small request would indeed be inappropriate.

So Ye Zhangqing readily agreed.

Immediately, the two went one after the other to the kitchen.

Seeing that, Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er both asked if there was anything they could help with.

Ye Zhangqing replied.

"No need, I will teach the senior Chúyì; you can rest yourselves."

"The rooms in the courtyard, you can choose yourselves; anyway, I don't have any treasures here."

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master said nonchalantly, her wealth is naturally not modest, but those treasures are not stored here.

As one of the four great Hall Masters of Yongye, if one really thought this small courtyard was the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's sole residence, that would be too naive.

She merely likes to reside here usually; besides this, she also has other Dong Fu, and the defenses are extremely strict.
