Chapter 2913

What do you seniors want me to do about this?

Hearing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's words, Ye Zhangqing asked with a doubtful look.

Attacking the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie, the main force was originally the Barbarian God Tribe; letting the Human Race go up is practically suicide.

This was already agreed upon; moreover, Ye Zhangqing never even had the thought of going to the battlefield.

The battles between the innate tribes are fierce; let alone invading someone else's territory—one careless mistake and you're dead in an instant.

So how this matter is handled has nothing to do with me; I'm just a cook.

As for this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief said anxiously.

I'm not helpless, right? You let me go to the battlefield to kill enemies—I can do that; you let me play these tricks, I don't understand; this isn't because you Human Race people are all dirty, so I came to ask you.

Huh???

Hearing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's words, Ye Zhangqing froze for a moment; how does this sound like scolding? Who the hell is heartless?

Seeing Ye Zhangqing looking at him with a strange gaze, the Iron Peak Clan Chief also came to his senses and hurriedly explained.

I… I wasn't talking about you, kid; I'm talking about Xu Jie. Look, that kid Xu Jie is so devious; the elders want me to think of a strategy, but I have no idea right now, though that kid Xu Jie will definitely manage.

At first hearing, it seems the Iron Peak Clan Chief's evaluation of Xu Jie remains high; one could say his trust reaches to the bone.

But for some reason, Ye Zhangqing feels no happiness at all for his third Shī xiōng.

No matter how you listen, this doesn't sound like praise; it's more like scolding.

However, seeing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's anxious appearance, Ye Zhangqing also knows the other party isn't joking; what they say is true.

He then opened his mouth to reply.

How about this, seniors? My third Shī xiōng is in seclusion; let's talk face-to-face after he comes out.

This……

We're not in a hurry to leave either; we have to wait for my third Shī xiōng to come out of seclusion, and besides, I have no other way.

Seeing that the talk has come to this point, the Iron Peak Clan Chief can't insist further; let's just wait, the elders aren't urging me either.

But the Iron Peak Clan Chief himself worries that delay will bring changes, so he's so anxious.

Right now Xu Jie is in seclusion, so we can only wait.

After dealing with the Iron Peak Clan Chief, not long after, one of the elders again brought ingredients.

Also an Eternal-grade Ingredient, ginseng.

The previous Primordial Giant Dragon Heart left the five elders with lingering fear; although it tastes good, damn it, eating it is useless.

So, after the five went back, they carefully selected and finally chose this stalk of ginseng.

Thinking, it's impossible that this also has bloodline power; it's definitely fine.

After confirming the ingredients are fine, although this ginseng can't be used as staple food, as a seasoning, stewing chicken is still fine.

Coincidentally, the five elders have several top-quality Fire Spirit Chicken Kings on hand.

Although the Fire Spirit Chicken King itself is far from reaching Eternal-grade Ingredient, after Ye Zhangqing's cooking, its taste is absolutely flawless.

Now adding this stalk of ginseng, the quality and taste will only improve further.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, indicating the ingredients are fine, that elder immediately grinned and said.

Haha, no problem is good, no problem is good; if you need anything, come find me anytime.

In order to eat this meal, the five elders also went all out, contributing many of the good things they had saved.

Xu Jie is in seclusion, so Ye Zhangqing naturally has no helper; like the Iron Peak Clan Chief and the many Barbarian God Tribe powerhouses, their cooking skills are completely unremarkable, and even as assistants they're lacking.

Ye Zhangqing can only do it himself; fortunately, there's plenty of time and not many people, so he can manage.

At noon the next day, as the heavenly-earthly phenomenon slowly dissipated, a pot of ginseng stewed Fire Spirit Chicken King was ready.

This time the phenomenon wasn't as shocking as before, but it still left the onlookers in awe.

Even cooking can produce heaven-and-earth phenomena; Ye Zhangqing can be considered the first ever to do so.

Just cooking can produce heaven-and-earth phenomena; Ye Zhangqing can be considered the first ever to do so.

Just as before, the others served themselves, while the Iron Peak Clan Chief and the five elders took their seats one after another.

Looking at that pot of Earth Emperor Ginseng stewed Fire Spirit Chicken King, everyone's eyes burned with fervor.

Just smelling the aroma tells you this pot of chicken is extraordinary; the broth seems to shimmer with seven-colored rosy light—what a fine thing, what a treasure.

The five elders each ladled themselves a bowl of soup and began to savor it carefully.

A sip of the soup down the belly left them feeling refreshed and invigorated; the broth was rich, the flavor delicious, without the slightest flaw.

Kid, your cooking skill—I, the old man, am willing to call you the best.

With such cooking skill, why don't you, kid, come to my Barbarian God Tribe and become an elder?

Pfft..... Dad, what nonsense are you spouting?

Pfft… Dad, what nonsense are you spouting?

Eating comfortably, one of the elders casually remarked, but as soon as he spoke, the Iron Peak Clan Chief beside him spat out a large mouthful of soup, then remained speechless.

Ye Zhangqing isn't even a member of their Barbarian God Tribe; although they'd like him to stay long-term, making him an elder is going too far.

However, regarding this, that elder didn't dwell on the issue; instead, he turned and shouted angrily.

At your age, still so fidgety—this soup is such a precious thing, how much did you waste with that mouthful?

I........

Hearing that, the Iron Peak Clan Chief was dumbfounded; I only took a sip, and besides, it's not entirely my fault.

There's always a feeling that one's own father is obviously doing it on purpose; this old thing deliberately designed him.

Although he thought that in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.

A pot of Earth Emperor Ginseng stewed chicken soup was quickly finished off by the five elders; as for the Iron Peak Clan Chief, he just tasted it, and there was still a big half-bowl that he had spat out.

Earth Emperor Ginseng stewed Fire Spirit Chicken King is the main dish, but the other dishes are not bad either; the few people who ate also swept away the remnants like wind.

After a meal, the five old ancestors grew ever fonder of Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill; with such Chúyì, who could not like it?

Thus, over the next few days, Ye Zhangqing stayed at the summit of Divine Mountain, cooking, and spent the rest of his time lounging comfortably.

He certainly didn't lack good tea and wine; anything that could catch the eye of the five old ancestors naturally wouldn't be ordinary treasures, and this could be considered a blessing.

After three days passed, Xu Jie finally emerged from seclusion; although his cultivation hadn't broken through, his aura had become completely different.

Even Xu Jie himself clearly felt that the path of Xiūliàn ahead seemed to have become much smoother.

But before the two fellow disciples could say a few words, upon hearing that Xu Jie had emerged from seclusion, Iron Peak Clan Chief immediately came to the door; seeing Xu Jie, he said with an excited expression.

"You little brat, you've finally emerged from seclusion; quickly think of a solution."

"Huh??? Senior, what solution? What happened?"

Just having emerged from seclusion, he was already expected to come up with a solution—but what solution? Xu Jie was full of doubt.
