Chapter 2069: Overturning the Heavenly Net

Qi Xiong's eyes widened, his face complex.

All that could be seen was Shi Song's pressure covering that disciple, yet there was no effect at all—not even pressure, he couldn't even break the disciple's protective spirit qi.

On the contrary, that disciple slightly furrowed his brow and easily dispersed Shi Song's pressure.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong fell silent, as if he had just forgotten something important—that in their Dao One Immortal Sect, the disciples' cultivation surpasses that of elders and the sect master.

Shi Song even more pitifully turned his head to look at Qi Xiong, his eyes pleading for the elder brother to decide for him.

Just facing Shi Song's gaze, Qi Xiong directly chose to ignore it.

"Junior brother, it's not that I, the senior brother, don't want to help you, but I'm willing yet unable; even if I went up, the result would be the same."

The two senior and junior brothers both fell silent; at that moment, the disciple who had just spoken opened his mouth, his voice slowly coming through.

"Elder, what do you mean by this?"

His tone was calm and indifferent, showing no respect a disciple should have for an elder; hearing this, Shi Song's heart burned with anger, and he turned and shouted.

"I just got a little excited and let my aura leak out; did this disciple have something to ask just now?"

"Huh??"

Seeing Shi Song's "amiable" reaction, Qi Xiong felt complex on the side; the junior brother had been wronged.

Looking again at this group of newly initiated disciples, sigh, it's hard to put into words.

"Junior brother, I have other matters; I'll leave this to you—remember to finish explaining the sect rules."

"Huh??"

Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, under Shi Song's dazed gaze, Qi Xiong left without looking back, his departure so clean he didn't even glance back.

Thus witnessing Qi Xiong's departure, that disciple also voiced the question in his heart.

"Disciple wishes to ask the elder, where is the sect's canteen? Last night I searched but found no canteen."

"You dare to roam freely inside the sect?"

Hearing this, Shi Song reflexively shouted in anger.

Every sect has a forbidden land, or a sect treasury as its foundation, or a top-tier cultivation secret realm, requiring limited numbers.

Therefore, sect disciples may not enter these areas without permission.

"I was just wandering around to get familiar; what's the problem?"

Shi Song shouted angrily; the disciple calmly replied, hearing which Shi Song's anger quickly subsided.

He turned his gaze to the disciple and shifted his tone.

"Nothing much—just don't wander the sect at night; cultivation is important, don't be lax."

"Yes, elder—then the question just now..."

The disciple casually returned a salute and then continued asking about the canteen's location.

They truly cared about nothing else; their only concern was where this canteen was and when they could eat.

Hearing this, Shi Song replied.

"The sect's canteen hasn't been built yet, and you're all cultivators who have already abandoned grains—what would you need a canteen for?"

As soon as he said that, the disciples below exploded in an uproar, and they were all those from the various immortal clans.

After all, they joined the Dao One Immortal Sect all along just for this canteen.

You're telling me the canteen isn't ready and asking what use a canteen is—this isn't teasing, is it?

Ordinary disciples don't know the inside story, but those from the various immortal clans won't stand for it.

Everyone spoke up one after another.

"No canteen in the sect?"

"Elder, that's mistaken; although we all practice abstaining from grains, what does that have to do with eating? The Cooking King Immortal City is powerful, and it too was founded on the basis of immortal chefs."

"A sect without a canteen—what kind of sect is that to open?"

"Huh??"

These immortal clan descendants simply give no face; hearing there's no canteen, they immediately exploded.

Shi Song watched the many disciples below arguing rudely, his teeth itching with anger.

His fists clenched tight; if not for not wanting to fight today, he would surely make those disciples know what sect rules are.

After much discussion, the disciples began to pursue the question again.

"Elder, may I ask whether the canteen is not yet built now, or will never be built?"

"Yes, elder, will the canteen exist in the future?"

"Elder, if there's no canteen, the disciples would probably have to leave."

Faced with the disciples' questioning, Shi Song's face turned dark as iron, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger to reply.

"Rest assured, the canteen will exist in the future; moreover, our sect's canteen elder Ye Zhangqing will return to the sect soon."

"Let me tell you this: the food used in yesterday's assessment was personally made by Ye Zhangqing; it's just a bit cold now, but fresh out of the pot it would be several times better."

After all, he's someone who has fought magical duels with Xu Jie for many years.

Shi Song is no ordinary person; his reaction is swift, and he quickly figured out the crux of the matter.

These little brats are probably all here for the canteen; although we don't know how the news leaked, for now, to make them obedient, we can only take another approach.

First, we'll use a tiger skin to scare these kids—after all, they're our own people.

As expected, as soon as Shi Song said that, many disciples instantly fell silent, their eyes flashing with a strange light.

And Shi Song then seized the moment to press on.

"Since you've entered my Dao One Immortal Sect, you are its disciples; if you don't even know the sect rules, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

"This elder now announces that disciples with outstanding performance in studying the sect rules will be rewarded by me with a portion of canteen food."

As soon as this reward was announced, the disciples present were instantly won over.

Each of them also began to spout wild talk, their faces showed surprise, and even their gazes became much kinder.

Having taken in all the changes of the disciples, Shi Song felt helpless; sure enough, ah, it's still the reputation of Ye Xiaozi that works.

Look at him just now, he painstakingly said so much, but these disciples probably couldn't take in a single word.

Now, as soon as Ye Zhangqing is mentioned, yo, these kids instantly fall silent.

They also dare not act rashly anymore; everyone wants to get a taste of that delicious food, ah.

Yesterday they didn't even get a bite, watching helplessly as those who were eliminated swept away those few tables of food, eating it all clean.

At this moment, what's on their minds is still yesterday's food.

The aroma is so rich, spreading this far; if one were to take a bite, how would that taste be? Probably they'd just directly take off.

So, when it comes to food, who dares to act rashly anymore.

Having basically got it under control, Shi Song also couldn't be bothered to read it out anymore, and distributed the pre-printed expanded sect rules.

Let everyone memorize it themselves; three days later he will conduct an assessment, and those who are rated excellent can have a meal in the Canteen; otherwise it's impossible.

You little brat, still can't handle you? Let's fight, old man.
