Chapter 1569: You don't need to help

In short, on the path of cultivation, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master was like having cheat codes, directly taking off from the spot.

In that small sect, in less than a hundred years, she successfully took the position of Sect Master, becoming the sect's strongest.

However, the other members of that small sect were far too weak.

In the end, during a great war with another sect, even though the Vermilion Bird Hall Master shone brilliantly alone, she still could not hold up single-handedly.

Ultimately the sect was destroyed, and only the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and a few others managed to escape.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched.

His parents dead, the sect destroyed— is it really that intense?

As if guessing what Ye Zhangqing was thinking, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master, who was wholeheartedly learning to wash vegetables, said indifferently.

"The Old Ancestor once said that I carry great karmic force, and a sect without that strength cannot withstand my karmic burden."

Huh???

Here the Old Ancestor mentioned by the Vermilion Bird Hall Master is obviously the Old Ancestor of the Yongye Organization, that Ancestor Realm existence.

You can see that? So, can the Yongye Organization withstand the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's great karmic force?

Indeed, after the sect's destruction, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master led the remaining disciples and became a rogue cultivator.

Anyway, for some unknown reason, the people around her kept dying or being crippled one after another— it was utterly miserable.

Gradually, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master also sensed something wrong, as if everyone around her had no good ending.

So in the end, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master chose to leave alone.

Afterward she traveled throughout the myriad worlds, and during that time her cultivation progress hardly slowed at all.

Of course, her study of culinary arts never ceased; the Vermilion Bird Hall Master always remembered her father's words—to become a Saint-level Spirit Chef.

When the topic turned again to the Saint-level Spirit Chef, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched.

Why do you keep clashing with the Spirit Chef path? Your road is getting narrower and narrower.

Even from the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's words, Ye Zhangqing could sense that she basically divided her energy evenly between cultivation and culinary arts.

She spent half her time studying culinary arts, yet in the end learned nothing— what's the point?

This Spirit Chef path really isn't suited for you.

If the Vermilion Bird Hall Master could wholeheartedly devote herself to cultivation, Ye Zhangqing feels that the Yongye Organization might gain another Ancestor Realm expert.

This person's cultivation talent is truly high— absurdly high.

Yet she insists on pursuing the Spirit Chef path, wasting so much time and energy on learning culinary arts.

After wandering alone through the myriad worlds, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master later joined several different factions.

But the result is predictable— those factions simply could not withstand her.

In the end, the Old Ancestor took a liking to the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and brought her back to the Yongye Organization.

Moreover, he personally taught her cultivation for a period, during which her growth could be described as lightning-fast.

Even the Old Ancestor, who is an Ancestor Realm expert, was shocked upon seeing it.

Such astonishing talent, the Yongye Old Ancestor frankly said he had never seen before.

"So the Old Ancestor once said, my talent is the highest in the Yongye Organization, even he cannot match it."

Saying this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master interjected with a melancholy remark.

But regarding this, Ye Zhangqing frowned— 'This is praising you, so why aren't you proud now?'

Where is that pride you had when talking about culinary arts? You should be showing it now.

Ye Zhangqing wondered whether the Vermilion Bird Hall Master had some misunderstanding about these matters.

When you should be proud, you aren't; when you shouldn't be, you're full of confidence.

Afterward, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master could be said to have sailed smoothly, basically encountering no hardship before taking the position of one of the Four Hall Masters.

One could say it was nothing short of a nonstop cheat.

Apart from making no progress in culinary arts, in every other aspect Ye Zhangqing felt the Vermilion Bird Hall Master was a chosen one.

As for the great karmic force, being a chosen one, having a fate of a lone star cursed by heaven is not too much, right?

Which chosen one doesn't have a unique aspect?

After finishing the story, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master also finished washing the vegetables; but when the two turned their heads, Ye Zhangqing's face went black.

It was completely unchanged from before.

Even the Vermilion Bird Hall Master herself couldn't help laughing at the sight.

"Haha, I just said that without paying much attention."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing replied in silence— 'No matter how inattentive you are, it shouldn't turn out like this.'

If I were to say it, you really shouldn't be stubborn— this Spirit Chef path truly isn't for you.

Of course, Ye Zhangqing never said those words.

He had been teaching the Vermilion Bird Hall Master until evening, but in the end there was basically no progress, and Ye Zhangqing no longer knew what to say.

That evening they simply cooked a table of dishes; after everyone ate, Bai Xian'er's sister also forced herself to rise.

Ye Zhangqing's dishes, naturally, cannot be missed; as long as one isn't dead, one must have a bite.

After that meal, everyone felt very relaxed.

Afterward, everyone gradually returned to their rooms to cultivate.

Ye Zhangqing and Qiu Baiyi shared a room, while the Bai Xian'er sisters shared another.

The night passed in silence; the next morning, when Ye Zhangqing emerged from his room, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master was already busy in the kitchen.

Looking at the plate of oily green stuff she brought out, Ye Zhangqing frowned and said.

"What is this, Senior?"

"It's the white rice porridge I cooked."

Huh??? How could white rice porridge be green?

Ye Zhangqing didn't dare take a single bite of this breakfast, and in the end he still made a whole table himself.

After breakfast, about one Shíchén, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master told Ye Zhangqing that she had already made an appointment with the other three hall masters, and they would come later.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing bowed and thanked her, saying, "Since the time has already been set, naturally the next step is to prepare the ingredients."

Today being the first banquet, meeting the other three hall masters, Ye Zhangqing naturally would not be careless.

After all, the first impression is very important.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing about to start preparing the ingredients, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master immediately said she was willing to help.

Moreover, she eagerly followed Ye Zhangqing into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't dare let her do any difficult work, and just pointed to the vegetables nearby.

"Please, senior, wash these vegetables."

"How to wash these vegetables, Ye Zhangqing had taught yesterday, or rather, he had taught this yesterday."

"In Ye Zhangqing's view, this is now the only work the Vermilion Bird Hall Master can do."

"But facts proved Ye Zhangqing had overthought it; upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master immediately nodded and agreed."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

"But having picked up the vegetable basin, before she even reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned to ask."

"Master, how do I wash these vegetables again? I forgot."

Huh???

"Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing was stunned—how could she forget? And he had taught her all day yesterday."

"Looking at the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's clear eyes, Ye Zhangqing said softly."

"Perhaps you should just rest, senior."
