Chapter 1753: I'm not lying to you, right?

Originally they had prepared to let Ye Zhangqing fend for himself, but who would have thought the Third Ancestor personally greeted him, letting this kid avoid entering that immortal realm.

After the Guo family head left, the Fifth Elder frowned tightly, really couldn't understand how this kid Ye Zhangqing suddenly got taken a liking to by the Third Ancestor.

By rights, this kid's talent is just ordinary; compared to those mainline disciples in the clan, the difference is obvious.

With the Third Ancestor's vision, he shouldn't be able to take a liking to this kid.

You have no idea how many clan juniors wish to become disciples of the Third Ancestor; even those mainline disciples don't give way.

Yet up to now, the Third Ancestor hasn't shown any sign of taking a liking to anyone, let alone having any disciples.

This time the Third Ancestor personally spoke up for Ye Zhangqing; just what exactly happened here?

"Something's fishy."

He muttered it under his breath, but since the Third Ancestor personally spoke, the Fifth Elder naturally didn't dare to go against the Third Ancestor's wishes.

All we can say is that this kid is secure.

Ye Zhangqing didn't even know that the Third Ancestor's side had spoken up to save his life.

The first meal had hardly anyone coming to eat—just the Third Ancestor and those two Guo family servants—but Ye Zhangqing wasn't panicked about it.

There's nothing to panic about; this is just the beginning, no rush, let the aroma drift first.

That night, Ye Zhangqing slept soundly; the next morning he didn't prepare any breakfast anyway, since there was no one.

It wasn't until nearly noon that Ye Zhangqing started making lunch, similarly a simple two dishes and one soup, the quantity not much, still about a hundred servings.

And when noon came, the Third Ancestor appeared again in the small courtyard, seeing Ye Zhangqing had prepared the meals again, the Third Ancestor didn't waste words, gave a grin, muttered, and already skillfully picked up a bowl to serve himself rice.

"I say, kid, are you really just going to cook here? Why not cultivate properly? Cultivation resources in the Immortal Realm are rare enough in the Lower Realm."

The Third Ancestor seemed to want to advise further, after all looking at Ye Zhangqing just lying flat, it's a pity no matter how you look at it.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing sat up and replied.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior, but I am originally a spirit chef; cooking is my proper job."

"Huh???"

"You damn it, this is the first time I've heard such a saying; hearing that, the Third Ancestor's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything more."

Having served the meals, as if out of spite, he grabbed a big bowl and plopped down onto the stone stool beside Ye Zhangqing, then aggressively took big bites.

It seemed he was venting all his inner anger onto the food.

The old man kindly reminded the kid, but this kid damn it is unresponsive to advice.

"What nonsense proper job, a spirit chef doesn't cultivate? Those immortal chefs of the Immortal Realm—who isn't strong? In the end, strength is the foundation."

The Third Ancestor hardly ever cared for junior disciples, he couldn't even be bothered to say more to his own juniors.

After finally taking some interest in Ye Zhangqing, he reminded him several times not to miss this opportunity.

He had even already thought it through: if Ye Zhangqing is willing, at that time he'll secretly say hello, letting the clan provide this kid with better cultivation resources.

"This damn it is already blatantly opening a back door, yet this kid simply won't play along."

It feels like punching cotton; I've been considering every aspect for this kid here, yet he shows no reaction at all.

Is it the emperor who's not anxious while the eunuch is?

The Third Ancestor was eating big mouthfuls, his teeth clacking; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing also didn't know how to explain.

"Normal cultivation isn't impossible, but where's the fun like with a system? That bit of cultivation time, I could swing a few shovels, stir-fry a few pots of good dishes—this cultivation level doesn't just soar by brushing past."

Not knowing how to explain, Ye Zhangqing simply shut up.

Not long after the Third Ancestor arrived, the two Guo family servants who came yesterday also rushed over in a hurry.

Moreover, it wasn't just those two; they also brought twenty or thirty companions.

All dressed in Guo family servant attire, standing at the courtyard gate, at a glance they saw the Third Ancestor seated beside Ye Zhangqing.

For a moment, the other servants who followed the two were stunned, then each showed a look of shock.

And those two were using Spiritual Voice Transmission.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you, right? The Third Ancestor himself likes Young Master Ye's cooking."

Those twenty or thirty people were all introduced by those two; when they came, they still wore a half-believing, half-doubting look.

Each one boldly said, "What kind of figure is the Third Ancestor? How could he possibly come to a place like this to eat?"

Moreover, does the Third Ancestor even need to eat?

But now they really saw the Third Ancestor here, holding a big bowl, eating with gusto, so they had to believe what those two said.

However, facing the Third Ancestor, all the Guo family servants were a bit nervous, not daring to step across the courtyard gate.

Afterwards, it was still those two who cautiously walked into the courtyard, came before the Third Ancestor, respectfully performed a salute, wanting to say something, but before they could speak, the Third Ancestor directly waved his hand and said.

"Take your own bowl, serve your own rice, just remember the rules."

"Yes."

The Third Ancestor knew these people's purpose, and moreover Ye Zhangqing this kid seemed to be sincere; the Third Ancestor felt helpless but didn't want to stop anything.

With the Third Ancestor's approval, those thirty-odd Guo family servants then cautiously entered the courtyard.

Smelling that tempting aroma, looking at the vividly colored dishes, each one cautiously swallowed their saliva.

Although they were dying of hunger, on the surface they dared not show too much.

After all, the Third Ancestor is here; who would dare to act out?

One by one, carefully and quietly they served themselves meals, then naturally squatted in the corner and began to eat.

Originally they were eating quite politely, not daring to make a sound, but after one bite they couldn't hold back anymore.

The flavor of this food is simply amazing.

One could see the people's speed of shoveling rice getting faster and faster, their mouths and hands unable to stop.

Meanwhile, the Third Ancestor didn't care about that; after finishing a bowl, he simply served himself another.

It really seems he was angered by Ye Zhangqing, turning his sorrow and indignation into appetite.

Yesterday he ate three big bowls; today the Third Ancestor directly ate five big bowls, and only then did he put down his bowl and chopsticks with a satisfied expression.

He glanced at Ye Zhangqing lying off to the side again, and the Third Ancestor secretly grit his teeth.

It's rare that this old man has had the thought of taking on a disciple; although this kid's talent is only average, to the Third Ancestor that's not a problem at all.

With his guidance, Ye Zhangqing need not even mention breaking through to Emperor Sovereign; even breaking through to the Ancestor Realm, or even realms above the Ancestor Realm, would be a sure thing.

Even among the Guo family's own juniors, however many wanted to take him as a master, were all rejected by him.

As a result, now the Third Ancestor actively wants to take Ye Zhangqing as a disciple, but this kid simply has no reaction at all.
