Chapter 2197: This is a black shop!

Wang Yu spoke sincerely, and as he went on his eyes even turned red, as if tears were about to fall.

However, Ye Zhangqing was completely unmoved, his heart as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.

Although I'm not a thousand-year-old fox, I'm not so simple as to be easily led into a ditch.

Nevertheless, on the surface he still went along with Wang Yu's act, speaking with a sigh.

"Senior, there's no need for this; I, the junior, understand your difficulties and have never blamed you, and the Sect Master and others are the same."

"Really? That's wonderful; in fact, even now my heart still leans toward the Sect, to be frank, if possible, I would still be willing to fight to the death for the Sect and continue serving as its offering."

At last he hit the point; taking the position of Sect offering means getting meals, which is truly what Wang Yu really wants.

The abacus beads snapped onto his own face, while Ye Zhangqing feigned helplessness and shook his head.

"Junior knows your sincere heart, but the Sect Master has said that the position of Sect offering will no longer be established."

"This...................."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's face grew somewhat grim; after saying all that, he just wanted to go back.

But now, without the offering position, what are we to do?

However, Ye Zhangqing didn't let him speak and immediately continued.

"Senior, there's no need for this either; I have been ordered to hold down Wuji Xiancheng, and I also plan to open a restaurant there, namely the former Emerald Cloud Dwelling, which will open soon; when the time comes, if you have time, you are welcome to come and show your support."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yu's eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Open a restaurant? That's wonderful," he immediately nodded repeatedly.

"Definitely, definitely, I will surely come when the time comes."

For Wang Yu and them, where to eat doesn't matter; as long as they can get a bite, everything else is not a problem.

After that, they chatted a few more casual sentences, and Wang Yu then left satisfied.

Watching Wang Yu's departing back, Ye Zhangqing smiled; naturally this opportunity to eat must be given, otherwise how would the Sect make money?

Next, as expected, several people from various forces came to visit voluntarily.

What they said was much the same as Wang Yu's; basically they were apologizing for the previous incident.

They said things like being helpless, caught in a dilemma, and so on.

Afterwards they expressed the desire to continue serving the Sect and to return to it.

Ye Zhangqing responded with a faint smile, agreeing in words but refusing each one.

Still wanting to be the Sect offering—thinking too much.

Not to mention Qi Xiong wouldn't agree; even if Qi Xiong agreed, Ye Zhangqing would not consent.

But he still informed everyone of the news that the canteen would open; upon hearing it, everyone, like Wang Yu, felt full of anticipation.

As long as we can still have a meal, that's fine, that's fine.

Then they left satisfied.

After seeing off everyone, the sky had already darkened, and Ye Zhangqing also returned to the rear courtyard to rest.

Over the next few days everything was peaceful; after killing He Fu, Zhao Guazi and others, the Dao One Immortal Sect's territory calmed down.

With rules in place, most people honestly followed them.

Even if a few still tried to profit from the chaos, without exception they were all slain by the disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Even if the disciples couldn't handle something, Huang Lao and Zuo Fu would step in.

After subsequently slaying several more lawless ruffians, the Dao One Immortal Sect's territory was completely restored.

On the streets there was no robbery, quarreling, or even brawling, just as before.

Ye Zhangqing didn't manage other areas, but the Dao One Immortal Sect's territory was very safe.

Besides that, it was just dealing with people from the major forces.

Almost everyone from all the forces came, except the Ultimate Bliss Palace.

That day, the Emerald Cloud Dwelling's renovation by a group of flower queens was completed, and they specially came to inform Ye Zhangqing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing rushed to the Emerald Cloud Dwelling, walked around, and nodded satisfied.

The women certainly didn't cut corners; every place was renovated according to their own requirements.

All those flashy but meaningless decorations disappeared completely.

The entire Emerald Cloud Dwelling now looked just like.............. just like that big roadside stall outside the city.

As for the grade, that certainly had nothing to do with it; the main point was simply capacity.

Capable of holding people, the Emerald Cloud Dwelling, which originally could accommodate up to a thousand guests at once, after Ye Zhangqing's renovation saw its capacity increase more than tenfold.

Watching Ye Zhangqing nod satisfied, all the women present had mixed feelings.

After the renovation was completed, they couldn't help but wonder whether this was still the Emerald Cloud Dwelling they remembered.

Those who didn't know even thought they had entered some refugee slum.

Just like this........ really, does anyone still come to spend money?

Merely to survive, the women naturally dared not voice their doubts; no matter what Ye Zhangqing said, they would just comply, with no room for rebuttal.

All along the way they respectfully attended by his side.

After confirming there were no problems, Ye Zhangqing summoned all the women to the rear courtyard.

Looking at these dozens of former flower queens, future shop assistants, Ye Zhangqing smiled and said.

"Well done; once the canteen opens, everyone will receive a reward."

"Thank you, Elder."

Upon hearing this, the women outwardly showed respect, but inwardly they couldn't help muttering.

"As for the reward, let's see if we can even keep it open; whoever's full and bloated coming here to spend money—what do they want, nothing—just a few broken stools and rotten tables; sitting on them is uncomfortable."

Without paying attention to what the women were thinking, Ye Zhangqing nodded and casually threw a menu to the leading woman.

This girl has the highest cultivation among everyone, her appearance is the best, and most importantly she is versatile and very lively.

So Ye Zhangqing temporarily let her manage the girls and take charge of the canteen's service work.

However, speaking of it, the canteen doesn't really need any service.

And this menu was made by Ye Zhangqing in his spare time these days; it lists the dishes and their prices; when they open, they will temporarily only serve the dishes on this menu.

But when this girl opened the menu, she was completely stunned.

The menu is only three pages.

One meat, one vegetable, ten thousand immortal crystals.

One meat, two vegetables, twenty thousand immortal crystals.

Two meat, two vegetables, thirty thousand immortal crystals.

Designated dishes, special orders, a table no less than one hundred thousand immortal crystals.

(Note: Immortal crystals can be replaced by treasures of equal value.)

Looking at this simple yet extremely strange menu, this woman only felt her scalp go numb.

Her eyes stared wide, her heart filled with doubt, she couldn't help muttering.

"What the heck is this..............."

She has been staying at Azure Cloud Dwelling for quite a few years, but she has never seen anything like this; what the heck is this, can this be called a menu?

After all, I just lack experience; if I take this out, are you sure they won't smash my shop?

She raised her head, her gaze dull as she looked at Ye Zhangqing, her whole head buzzing.
