Chapter 52: then translation of chapter title

Many disciples were eating breakfast while watching the battle in the sky, Ye Zhangqing was the same, only he did not know Qing Shi.

Only through Lu Youyou's introduction did he know that this was actually the Peak Master's close friend.

Unfortunately, the battle did not last long, as Qing Shi swallowed the bun in his mouth and spoke with oil all over his mouth.

"Wait a moment."

He actively withdrew and stepped back; seeing this, Hong Zun also stopped his action, but still shouted angrily with a furious face.

"What else do you have to say?"

As for this, Qing Shi paid no attention, revealing a smile full of deep meaning.

"So you've been hiding this from me since yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Zun's face changed instantly, but quickly returned to normal, and he spoke stubbornly.

"Nonsense, when have I ever hidden anything from you?"

"You and I have known each other for over a thousand years, right? Do you think I still don't understand you? Are you afraid I'll find out and cling to your Divine Sword Peak and not leave?"

With Qing Shi's words, Hong Zun's brows also slightly furrowed; what is this old thing up to again? Why does being looked at by him make my heart feel creepy?

Qing Shi's smile indeed made people feel uneasy, and at that moment, several figures flew from the horizon; they were other strong ones of the Dao Yi Sect.

There were the peak masters of several other peaks, as well as the Second Elder of the main peak.

The might of their battle just now was too great, naturally drawing the attention of many Dao Yi Sect strong ones at once.

Especially the Second Elder of the main peak, his heart jumped, and he wondered if perhaps a demon king or a demonic path strong one had come to attack the Dao Yi Sect.

But after confirming that the aura came from Divine Sword Peak, the Second Elder twitched the corner of his mouth, "What the hell is going on with this Divine Sword Peak? You guys always have endless trivial matters every day."

But there was no way; as the one in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, the Second Elder still personally rushed over.

Upon seeing Hong Zun, the Second Elder immediately said in an unhappy tone.

"I say, junior brother, what are you up to again this early morning?"

His words were full of resentment; "Can't you give me two days of peace? Or else, let you take over as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Facing the Second Elder's complaint, Hong Zun had not yet spoken, when Qing Shi beside him laughed and said.

"Daoist Shi Song, long time no see."

Hearing this, the Second Elder also showed a smile.

"Daoist Qing Shi."

The two obviously knew each other, or rather Qing Shi had acquaintances among many strong ones of the Dao Yi Sect; after all, having reached their level, looking across the whole Dongzhou, there are only so many people.

Even if they didn't know each other, they'd surely have heard of each other; the circle isn't big.

Moreover, Qing Shi, as a lone cultivator, has no conflict with the Dao Yi Sect, so it's normal for them to be on good terms.

"Just now, I and Hong Zun were merely feeling itchy in our hands and casually sparred."

He proactively spoke up to explain for Qing Shi; hearing this, the Second Elder nodded with a strange expression.

Sparred? Then why is Hong Zun's face all dark? Also, wipe the oil stain from your mouth corner before speaking.

But since Qing Shi said so, the Second Elder didn't press further.

Only Hong Zun, at this moment stared fixedly at Qing Shi with both eyes, feeling that this old thing harbored ill intentions and was scheming against him.

As expected, after his words fell, Qing Shi continued to speak.

"There is also another matter; I happen to want to explain it to Daoist Shi Song."

"Please go ahead."

"It's like this: earlier, Daoist Hong Zun invited me to join the Dao Yi Sect, but you also know I'm used to being a carefree cloud and wild crane; however, now I have taken on disciples, I'm also getting older, and I thought I should settle down a bit, so just now Daoist Hong Zun invited me again to join the Dao Yi Sect, and I agreed."

"Wait a moment."

Listening to Qing Shi's words, Hong Zun grew more and more nervous; good grief, I already knew this old thing had many tricks, and indeed it is so.

He hastily tried to interrupt, but it was already a step too late; Qing Shi instantly sped up and blurted out everything.

As for this, Shi Song naturally welcomed it wholeheartedly.

Qing Shi is not only highly capable, his strength is no less than that of the various peak masters of the Dao Yi Sect and the chief elders; moreover, his background is clean, his possessions are pure, saying one knows his roots and details is not an exaggeration.

Furthermore, given their long acquaintance, having such a person join is naturally a good thing for the Dao Yi Sect.

Without further thought, Shi Song nodded and agreed.

"Daoist Qing Shi being able to join, our Dao Yi Sect naturally welcomes it; I will just inform the Sect Master, and then Daoist Qing Shi can directly enter our Dao Yi Sect's main peak and become a chief elder."

They directly offered him the chief elder position, which Qing Shi deserves.

But regarding this, Qing Shi directly refused.

"Thank you, but I still want to stay at Divine Sword Peak; after all, I am as close as brothers with Hong Zun, and joining the Dao Yi Sect is also for his sake; I hope Daoist Shi Song will understand."

Saying this, Qing Shi did not forget to give a slight smile to the grim-faced Hong Zun.

Upon seeing that smile, Hong Zun almost wished to fight him another eight hundred rounds; this old thing is scheming against me.

"And what nonsense about being as close as brothers? It's because I just joined the Dao Yi Sect; you're doing this for me? No, it's because of those three buns."

But Hong Zun also didn't expect that Ye Zhangqing's cooking could be this good; just three buns made Qing Shi, who had never joined any force in his life, willingly take the initiative to join the Dao Yi Sect.

From now on, there's yet another competitor—a rival for meals.

"No, we must quickly get rid of them."

While sighing, Hong Zun quickly realized he must get Shi Song and them out of the way as soon as possible, but cannot expose the matter of Xiao Ye Zhangqing, otherwise this competition would only become more intense.

Originally, Hong Zun was the sole dominant one at Divine Sword Peak, with no one able to compete with him; each meal he could guarantee himself a bowl.

But now Qing Shi has arrived, and he does not want anyone else to come; otherwise, things could truly become unpredictable.

Thinking this, Hong Zun hurriedly looked at Shi Song and said.

"Senior brother, let Qing Shi stay at my Divine Sword Peak; after all, we're all from the Dao Yi Sect."

Hearing Hong Zun's words, Qing Shi's smile became even more brilliant, while Shi Song sank into contemplation for a moment and then spoke.

「It's not that it's impossible, but find some time, junior brother and Daoist friend Qing Shi should still go to Zhu Feng to see Senior Brother; after all, Daoist friend Qing Shi joining our Dao Yi Sect is also a big deal。」

「Good。」

Without the slightest hesitation, Hong Zun nodded directly, and then proceeded with all kinds of coaxing, urging Shi Song and the others to leave.

Having left Divine Sword Peak in a daze, after everyone had gone, Hong Zun gave Qing Shi an annoyed glance and spoke coldly.

「Who said they'd spend this life as an idle cloud and wild crane? Your talk is just like farting。」

「Hey, this person will always change, after all, I also want to find a backer for little Wang Yao。」

「Alright, alright, alright, from now on, I won't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth; also, you owe me three soup dumplings。」

「Hehe, speaking of that, come on, let's go back first; you tell me properly about the meal arrangements at Divine Sword Peak—what time meals start, how many meals a day, and what the rules are。」

Mentioning food, Qing Shi's spirits lifted instantly; he put an arm around Hong Zun's shoulders and dragged him flying toward the summit, all the way bombarding him with questions, making Hong Zun's face grow ever uglier.

「At your age, what's with all this flirtatiousness? Let go。」

「Come on, after all, we've shouldered guns together, shared loot together, and listened to tunes at the Gōulán together........ 」

「Get lost。」
