Chapter 1755: This person also has a problem

This No. 78 small island of the Guo family is just the most ordinary small island; aside from some houses, there is nothing else.

Moreover, no one lives there.

Usually it's hard to see a single person, so how did it suddenly become overcrowded?

Looking at the writhing heads on the small island, people packed together, dense as dumplings, the Grand Elder's brows knit tightly, his eyes full of doubt.

Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Hall Steward beside him spoke weakly, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance.

"Elder, I told you, I didn't deceive you."

"I know."

Upon hearing that, the Grand Elder frowned and replied; just as he was about to go down to investigate, the Fifth Elder suddenly arrived.

"Clansman, you've come too."

"Hmm, you also came to this small island?"

"I also heard that No. 78 island was strange, so I rushed here specially; isn't that immortal realm about to open? This No. 78 island is specifically used to settle Xia Jie cultivators."

"Hmm???"

Hearing the Fifth Elder's words, the Grand Elder fell silent again; a place meant to settle Xia Jie cultivators, how could it suddenly attract so many Guo family members and servants?

What are these fellows doing? Could it be that the Xia Jie people have some oddity?

Actually, the Fifth Elder still had something unsaid: the current No. 78 island has only Ye Zhangqing as a Xia Jie person.

The clan has already sent people to the entrances of the major Xia Jie, but they haven't yet secured a new Xia Jie person.

Only Ye Zhangqing is there, and the Third Patriarch personally instructed to look after him; thus, after learning of the strangeness of No. 78 island, the Fifth Elder personally made this trip to see what happened.

Upon hearing the Fifth Elder's words, the Grand Elder spoke in a deep voice.

"Let's go down and take a look first."

"The matter is strange; let's go down and see."

At this moment, on No. 78 island, many Guo family members and servants, though anxious inside, couldn't help but drool at the thought of the food's flavor.

Yet they obediently lined up.

Even facing servants, the Guo family members dare not act out of line, for Ye Zhangqing has set the rule: to eat, whether Guo family or servant, one must queue, first come first served.

Moreover, it's strictly enforced that anyone who fights on the island, whoever violates the rule, will never again get to eat this food.

Originally, the Guo family members would certainly not care about the rule set by Ye Zhangqing.

After all, you're just a Xia Jie cultivator, daring to set rules in our Guo family—who the hell cares about you.

But the problem is, the Third Patriarch is practically always in Ye Zhangqing's little courtyard these days; with the Third Patriarch overseeing, even these Guo family members dare not so much as step out of line.

As for Ye Zhangqing's established rules, they are all obediently followed.

The Grand Elder, accompanied by the Fifth Elder, wanted to land on the small island, but there was simply no place to set foot.

Afterwards, the Grand Elder simply shouted loudly.

"Law Enforcement Hall on duty—everyone, make way."

"Hmm???"

As his words fell, everyone looked up at the slowly descending Grand Elder and Fifth Elder, though someone still spoke up.

"Grand Elder, Fifth Elder, you also have to queue if you want to eat."

"That's the rule on No. 78 island; hearing this, the Grand Elder's brows furrowed, and he immediately snapped angrily."

"What food? What eating? Didn't you hear my words? Law Enforcement Hall on duty—everyone, make way for me."

Upon hearing this, the crowd said nothing more, and indeed made a path for the Grand Elder and his two companions.

However, a flicker of strange light passed through their eyes; even the Grand Elder could not possibly break the rule.

Not to mention, even the clan head is obediently queuing here.

At this moment, the Fifth Elder's eyes also held a hint of strange color; the Grand Elder didn't understand what 'eating food' meant, but he had guessed something.

Upon hearing about eating food, the Fifth Elder already had a suspicion in his heart.

"Earlier, hadn't Ye Zhangqing said he wanted to set up a mess hall, to do his old trade?"

"Could this commotion have been caused by that brat?"

Making his way through the crowd with difficulty, the deeper he went, the more the Grand Elder's brows furrowed; this island is off, extremely off—how could it attract so many people?

"Old Five, this island is off."

Turning his head to speak to the Fifth Elder, upon hearing it, the Fifth Elder also nodded.

"Hmm."

But as his words fell, the two saw ahead the silhouette of the Guo family clan head, who was also obediently standing in line.

"Clan head, why are you here?"

Seeing this, the Grand Elder asked with a puzzled expression; upon hearing it, the Guo family clan head replied candidly.

"To eat."

"Hmm???"

Upon hearing that, the Grand Elder was a bit dazed, then immediately asked.

"What food?"

Leaving aside the issue of avoiding grains, it's just that he's craving a bite; there are restaurants and immortal chefs in the nearby immortal city—why not just go there.

As their clan head, he's not lacking in trivialities; coming here to join the fun is unnecessary.

Facing the Grand Elder's question, just as the clan head was about to reply, suddenly a shout came from ahead.

"Come, come, come—people are entering, another batch!"

Saying that, the crowd began to stir, one after another, eagerly heading toward the small courtyard.

Seeing this, the Guo family clan head's eyes lit up; he didn't even bother to reply to the Grand Elder, following the crowd, pushing through, he entered the courtyard, even shouting impatiently.

Come on, what are you spacing out for, you're not even eager to eat.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder was dazed, and before he could think further, the crowd behind surged forward, forcibly pushing him and the Fifth Elder toward Yuàn zhōng.

Don't crowd, the Law Enforcement Hall is handling business.

Being pushed forward by the crowd, the Grand Elder kept shouting, but at this point who had the mind to care about that, the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder were muddled and got pushed into the small courtyard.

And at this time, the Grand Elder increasingly felt that Island No. 78 had a problem.

Lao Wu, this island definitely has a problem, and it's a big problem.

After the words fell, the Fifth Elder didn't reply; at this point both had already been pushed into Yuàn zhōng, and the Fifth Elder's gaze also immediately locked onto the busy Ye Zhangqing in Yuàn zhōng.

Upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, the Fifth Elder's eyes widened round, looking like he'd seen a ghost.

He even muttered to himself.

This person also has a problem, and an even bigger one.

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder suspiciously turned his head to look at him, 'I told you the island has a problem, and you tell me about a person? What person?'

Lao Wu, what nonsense are you spouting, how can a person have a problem?

But the Fifth Elder at this point simply didn't hear the Grand Elder's words, his eyes fixed tightly on Ye Zhangqing, as if wanting to see through him inside and out.
