Chapter 1780: Consider or Not, Come Be an Immortal Chef

After grief, Luo Jiuyou gritted their teeth, looking like they wanted to eat someone, and spoke fiercely.

This experience truly made him feel utter humiliation; thinking of Luo Mou, who had traversed the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, he was a notable figure.

Even when facing that little devil Xueluo Xing back then, he had never suffered such a loss.

In the end, Xueluo Xing was forced into having no choice but to kill his Shòuchǒng, right?

Even so, it was chased by Luo Jiuyou for a lifetime, and still died at his hands.

This time he almost lost his life; if not for a chance encounter with Ye Zhangqing, he would surely have perished.

Hoping for those few disciples of the Netherworld Palace is no different from waiting to die.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't try to dissuade him; repaying grudges is normal.

He simply asked, concerned.

"Do you need my help?"

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, Luo Jiuyou blinked, glanced at Ye Zhangqing with suspicion, his first thought being: we're both from the Xia Jie, what help could you offer?

But after a moment's thought, Luo Jiuyou quickly realized that Ye Zhangqing was surely different.

With that skill in cooking, he could get by anywhere; likely the same in the Guo family now, as seen from his earlier performance at the Dao Yi Shengdi.

However, as a Top Prodigy of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, Luo Jiuyou also had his own pride.

Likewise, as a cultivator from the Xia Jie who was nearly killed, how could he possibly seek revenge by relying on another's hand, even if that person were Ye Zhangqing?

So, without much hesitation, Luo Jiuyou quickly gritted his teeth and said.

"No, I want to personally slaughter these brats; if not for the sneak attack, would I have fallen?"

Luo Jiuyou looked unconvinced, but Ye Zhangqing had no confidence in this.

He himself said that several people had teamed up against him, and their strength was not inferior to his; after all, those too weak are not looked upon by these Immortal Realm forces.

Luo Jiuyou might be top-notch among the younger generation in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, but in the Immortal Realm it's different.

Therefore, relying solely on Luo Jiuyou to handle this still seems difficult in Ye Zhangqing's view.

However, seeing Luo Jiuyou's current state, Ye Zhangqing didn't say more.

They chatted a few more words; since Luo Jiuyou's body was still weak, Ye Zhangqing didn't linger, told him to rest well, and took his leave.

"Don't get out of bed wandering about for the next two days, and don't circulate your spiritual power, let your meridians recover."

"Understood."

Stepping out of Luo Jiuyou's room, as soon as he left, he saw Manager Li and the Guo family Fifth Elder arguing over something.

"Old coot, you won't leave me even a bite?"

"Why should I leave any for you?"

"These ingredients belong to the Longevity Hall."

"I paid for them."

"Not yet."

"Huh???"

Over the previous pot of medicinal cuisine, they argued incessantly; especially Manager Li, who watched helplessly as the Guo family Fifth Elder ate the entire pot.

Meanwhile, he didn't even get a sip of broth the whole time, just smelling the aroma.

"Would our Guo family really default on a debt?"

"Since you haven't paid, these ingredients are still the Longevity Hall's; what's wrong with me taking a bite?"

"Get lost, no."

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

Just then, Ye Zhangqing stepped out of Luo Jiuyou's room; seeing Ye Zhangqing, Manager Li made a quick move, not even seeing his action clearly, and in the next second appeared before Ye Zhangqing.

His eyes glowed with intense heat, as if they could melt Ye Zhangqing.

Facing Manager Li's gaze, Ye Zhangqing could guess what he was thinking, yet still couldn't help feeling creeped out.

No matter how many times, that gaze always makes people uncomfortable.

"Young friend Ye, how is your brother? If not, let me have the Longevity Hall's immortal chef take a look; rest assured, I guarantee he'll be cured and full of vigor."

Before Ye Zhangqing could speak, Manager Li grinned and spoke first.

Ye Zhangqing replied helplessly.

"Thanks, Manager Li, but I can handle it myself; no need to trouble the Longevity Hall's seniors."

"How is that trouble? Between the Longevity Hall and you, young friend, why be so distinct? Doesn't that seem aloof?"

"Huh???"

Upon hearing Manager Li's words, Ye Zhangqing was momentarily at a loss for words.

This seems like my first contact with the Longevity Hall; how could it come to this? How did we become distant? Or perhaps we shouldn't be?

But before Ye Zhangqing could reply, he suddenly felt a warmth spread through his palm.

Looking down, he saw Manager Li's both hands tightly gripping his right hand.

At the same time, he spoke earnestly.

"Young friend Ye, no need to be so polite; from now on, when you come to the Longevity Hall, treat it as your own home."

"The Longevity Hall has always welcomed talented youths like you, Young friend Ye."

The more he listened, the more absurd it seemed, even being made head of the household; Ye Zhangqing dared not entertain such a thought.

Before Manager Li could finish speaking, Ye Zhangqing directly intended to say.

"Manager Li, I prepared less medicinal cuisine today; tomorrow I'll make an extra pot to thank you, and hope you won't hold it against me."

As expected, upon hearing that, Manager Li first blinked, then immediately cracked a grin, beaming.

"How could that work? Won't it be too troublesome?"

"No, it's the same either way."

"Then that's good, Little Friend Ye, see if you still need anything? I'll take you to the warehouse to pick again."

"Don't worry, this time I won't charge you; all costs will be borne by my Hall of Longevity itself, no need to look at the Guo family's face, our Hall of Longevity has it covered."

"You've had enough, damn it."

"Li Steward was still speaking when, from the side, the Guo Family Fifth Elder's angry shout came through."

"He had already endured it; this old thing wanted to eat, and he could understand—after all, Ye Zhangqing's skill was something even he couldn't describe."

"Li Steward being attracted to it is only natural."

"But if you want to eat, just eat; why the hell did you step on our Guo family? What's the meaning of that?"

"What the heck, I'm still here—do you really want to publicly dig at our wall? Is even the Guo family's wall corner something you can dig?"

"Thinking of this, as he spoke, the Guo Family Fifth Elder fixed his icy, angry gaze on Li Steward."

"Damn, the older he gets, the more of a dog he is—this old thing truly has no limits."

"But upon hearing that, Li Steward simply ignored the Fifth Elder's meaning, his eyes locked on Ye Zhangqing from start to finish, blazing, and finally he spoke."

"How about Little Friend Ye considers coming to my Hall of Longevity as a chef? My Hall of Longevity would certainly welcome you, with any terms you set—how does that sound?"
