Chapter 2001: My Zhao family is willing to serve the Young Master

They had tried various methods before, none of which had any effect, but after truly tasting the food made by Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Buzhu and the fat shopkeeper instantly understood everything.

With this flavor, frankly speaking, producing such a result is completely normal.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Buzhu finished his meal in a few bites, his speed not at all slower than anyone else's.

He still had a look of lingering satisfaction on his face, and he lightly asked the fat shopkeeper beside him.

Upon hearing that, the fat shopkeeper, likewise savoring the bowl of food, instinctively replied.

"Why not go all the way?"

While saying that, he also made a throat-slitting gesture; upon seeing it, Zhao Buzhu looked at him as if he were an idiot and said faintly.

"Do you want my Zhao family to vanish completely from the Immortal Realm?"

Besides, going all the way, look at these people around; if anyone dared to lay a hand on Ye Zhangqing, they'd probably be torn to pieces by the crowd in an instant.

The two waited until Ye Zhangqing's lunchtime had passed, and only after closing the door did they dare to go visit him.

In the back courtyard, looking at Zhao Buzhu and the fat shopkeeper, Ye Zhangqing asked suspiciously.

"What brings the two of you to see me?"

One of them is the owner of the Prison Immortal Tower, the other is its shopkeeper.

Although they are in the same line of work, they actually have no particular friendship.

As for the matter of stealing each other's business, Ye Zhangqing didn't give it a second thought, or rather, he hadn't even considered it.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's question, before the fat shopkeeper could speak, Zhao Buzhu fell to his knees with a thud and performed a deep bow.

"I am Zhao Buzhu; from now on I am willing to follow Young Master Ye's lead, and I hope Young Master Ye will agree."

"Huh???"

Faced with Zhao Buzhu's sudden action, Ye Zhangqing was startled, and the fat shopkeeper was also startled; both looked at Zhao Buzhu, completely bewildered.

Especially the fat shopkeeper, who was full of doubt, having just not mentioned this matter—how could you just kneel like that?

Moreover, master, couldn't you have given us a heads-up? With this sudden move, I don't know whether I should kneel or not.

Since the master said to kneel, then kneel; the fat shopkeeper stood there dazed, for a moment not knowing what to do.

Should I kneel or not?

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing spoke up at this moment.

"Master Zhao, you needn't do this; I am an outsider and won't stay long in Prison Immortal Town, so there's no need for this."

Ye Zhangqing had absolutely no intention of accepting the Zhao family; he had come out solely to improve his cultivation, with no other purpose.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's unequivocal refusal, Zhao Buzhu lowered his head, adopting an attitude of 'I won't rise unless you agree,' and said through gritted teeth.

"I know my Zhao family's strength is meager and unlikely to catch Young Master Ye's eye, but the Zhao family's loyalty to Young Master Ye is absolutely evident to heaven and earth."

"Moreover, Young Master Ye runs the tavern alone, with no one to help him, which is truly inconvenient."

"In the future, for some miscellaneous matters, my Zhao family is willing to share Young Master Ye's worries."

Zhao Buzhu blurted out the words he had prepared; upon hearing them, Ye Zhangqing's heart was also somewhat moved.

Having the Zhao family's help would indeed make things easier and more efficient, allowing him to earn more Good Review Points later.

Furthermore, accepting the Zhao family would only be a matter within Prison Immortal Town; once he leaves later, there would be no trouble, making it a rather good choice.

Ye Zhangqing weighed it silently in his heart, while Zhao Buzhu remained kneeling, his attitude sincere.

In fact, Zhao Buzhu is not a fool; on the contrary, he is quite smart—otherwise he couldn't have, after the family suffered a great calamity, still managed to turn the tide and forcibly taken over a batch of the patriarch's bloodline.

This remaining portion of the Zhao clan only managed to catch its breath under Zhao Buzhu's leadership.

After Zhao Buzhu tasted the food made by Ye Zhangqing, he keenly realized that this person was the key to the Zhao family's rise.

With such culinary skill, how could he be an ordinary person? Thus Zhao Buzhu made his choice without hesitation.

It must be said, Zhao Buzhu has excellent vision, and his courage is also not bad.

Having made the decision in his heart, he immediately put it into action, without any hesitation.

Under Zhao Buzhu's incessant pleas, Ye Zhangqing finally pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

From the sale of the food, the spirit stones and immortal crystals—Ye Zhangqing takes eighty percent, the Zhao family twenty percent.

This was proposed by Zhao Buzhu himself, and he made his position regarding the Zhao family very clear.

Ye Zhangqing had no objection to this; as for spirit stones and immortal crystals, he himself didn't value them much—Good Review Points were the key.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod and agree, Zhao Buzhu was overjoyed.

Afterwards, he proactively invited Ye Zhangqing to the Prison Immortal Tower in town; from then on, everyone in the Prison Immortal Tower would follow Ye Zhangqing's arrangements.

Faced with Zhao Buzhu's invitation, Ye Zhangqing nodded in agreement.

Soon, the Zhao family defected to Ye Zhangqing, and the news that this canteen tavern would move to the Prison Immortal Tower spread.

That evening's meal was arranged at the Prison Immortal Tower.

For a while, everyone was excited, of course the most excited being Zhao Buzhu.

He returned to the Prison Immortal Tower a step earlier to prepare, personally overseeing everything, striving to avoid any oversight.

During that time, the fat shopkeeper also voiced the doubts in his heart.

"Master, how did we suddenly decide to defect to that Ye Zhangqing?"

"This is an opportunity for our Zhao family to rise; you don't understand."

Upon hearing that, Zhao Buzhu glanced lightly at the fat shopkeeper; aside from him, no one in the family perceived the huge implications behind this.

Seeing that the master had no intention of explaining further, the fat shopkeeper did not press the matter.

At dinner time, thanks to the Zhao family's help, Ye Zhangqing was indeed much more relaxed.

Moreover, the Zhao family members had obviously been warned in advance by Zhao Buzhu; when they worked, they were swift and diligent, daring not to slack off.

Thus Ye Zhangqing had considerably more free time, and the quantity of food also noticeably increased.

Good Review Points kept pouring in, Ye Zhangqing simply abolished the meal point's rules.

Open for business all day, twelve Shíchén each day.

Of course, people who have finished eating must wait two Shíchén before they can eat again.

This is the system's rule: within two Shíchén, the same person does not earn Good Review Points.

So Ye Zhangqing also established this rule.

However, after two Shíchén, once everyone has finished eating, even if they immediately start queuing again they won't get a spot, so it actually has no impact, not even a noticeable one.

Meanwhile, the Zhao family people were also divided into two groups, taking turns to assist Ye Zhangqing.

As for Ye Zhangqing, he only needs to finish the final step.

In a short time, Ye Zhangqing's Good Review Points surged, bringing him ever closer to breaking through the Ancestor Realm, with obvious changes every day.

Outside the Prison Immortal Tower, the crowd was incessant, day and night never thinning; it seemed as if the whole town's people had gathered here, while other places consequently became desolate, devoid of people.
