Chapter 525

After finally appeasing Wu Shou, it was also Fàn diǎn.

For Wu Shou's first meal, his expression was exactly the same as that of the other senior brothers, but besides being shocked, he even scolded Qi Xiong from head to toe.

No wonder this guy doesn't want to come back after going out; it turns out his roots are here.

While he himself toiled away in the Sect, Wu Shou had it easy, eating well and drinking heartily outside; just thinking about this place made him feel suffocated inside.

Faced with Wu Shou's complaints, Qi Xiong could only smile apologetically and admit his mistake.

After finishing the meal, everyone was full of food and drink, gathering together to chat and joke.

But suddenly, Qi Xiong spoke seriously.

「I think it's not appropriate for Ye Zhangqing to continue staying at Divine Sword Peak. 」

As soon as these words were spoken, Hong Zun and Qing Shi's faces changed; they were about to speak in opposition, but everyone else just kept nodding.

「Senior Brother, that makes sense. 」

「I think so too. 」

「The canteen of Divine Sword Peak is indeed too small. 」

Everyone didn't even give Hong Zun and Qing Shi a chance to rebut, and Qi Xiong also nodded and replied with a smile.

「What you say is not wrong; in my opinion, Ye Zhangqing should go to Place: Zhu Feng. 」

Going to Place: Zhu Feng? Upon hearing this, the Peak Masters who had originally shown support were now unwilling.

Everyone wants Ye Zhangqing to go to their own peak, wouldn't that make meals more convenient?

But Qi Xiong's words also made sense; seeing this, he continued speaking.

「Ye Zhangqing's talent is evident to all; he has already reached the Purple Mansion Realm, and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm is just a matter of time. 」

「Moreover, almost all disciples need to eat now, so going to any peak would not be suitable. 」

「So my plan is to establish another hall at Place: Zhu Feng, let Ye Zhangqing be in charge; his status would be the same as that of the Elders, what do you think? 」

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into silence.

After all, Qi Xiong's words are flawless; compared to going to any peak, it is clearly more suitable to go to Place: Zhu Feng.

Moreover, establishing another hall would mean Ye Zhangqing's status would directly rise from Menial Disciple to Elder, truly entering the upper echelons of the Dao Yi Sect.

Although there has never been such a precedent in the history of the Dao Yi Sect.

Moreover, speaking frankly, the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation is still too low; after all, the Elders and Peak Masters of the Dao Yi Sect have at least entered the Shèngjìng.

Letting a junior with Purple Mansion Realm cultivation become an Elder sounds downright crazy.

But on this matter, everyone had no objections, believing that even Yu Mo and the others would feel the same.

Moreover, Place: Zhu Feng is located in the middle of the thirty-six peaks, making it more convenient for disciples of all peaks to reach Fàn diǎn.

There was no reason to refuse; even Hong Zun and Qing Shi did not speak up to oppose anymore.

After all, given the current situation, it is impossible for Divine Sword Peak to forcibly keep Ye Zhangqing; the senior brothers would not agree.

「I agree. 」

Shi Song was the first to speak up in agreement.

Afterwards, Wu Shou, Tian Nong and the other Elders nodded one after another, and then the other Peak Masters also had no objections.

Finally were Hong Zun and Qing Shi; Hong Zun nodded helplessly.

「I have no objections either, but we should still ask Ye Zhangqing for his opinion. 」

「That's natural. 」

This matter certainly requires seeking Ye Zhangqing's opinion; although it would be wholly beneficial and harmless to him, we still need his nod.

Soon Ye Zhangqing was summoned; after learning Qi Xiong's intention, Ye Zhangqing was taken aback.

「Elder? Is this promotion too big? That would put him on equal footing with Hong Zun directly. 」

Seeing Ye Zhangqing looking somewhat startled, Hong Zun instead laughed and said.

「Ye Zhangqing, don't feel any pressure. 」

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Zhangqing ultimately nodded and agreed.

「Alright, then the name of this hall will be up to you to decide, after all, you're the one in charge. 」

The name, after a brief thought, Ye Zhangqing casually said.

「Let's just call it the Canteen. 」

Simple and blunt, but Qi Xiong and the others were very satisfied with it.

「Canteen? 'Food is heaven to the people'—good, good name. 」

「Ye Zhangqing still has a trick up his sleeve. 」

「Haha, then let's call it the Canteen, sixth junior brother. 」

「Senior Brother. 」

「In constructing the Canteen, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall must put in extra effort, use the finest materials, and fully satisfy any requests Ye Zhangqing may have. 」

「Good. 」

The task of building the Canteen naturally fell to Tian Nong's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and Tian Nong readily agreed.

Maintaining a good relationship with Ye Zhangqing might even bring the chance to enjoy a private meal later on.

Seeing Yu Mo and the others enjoy a private meal every day these days, Tian Nong doesn't even know how hungry he has become.

But there's nothing he can do; he doesn't dare to compete with his uncles.

The matter of the Canteen was thus smoothly approved; even as the news slowly spread, the disciples had no complaints at all, but rather strongly supported it.

The only ones complaining are the Divine Sword Peak, after all, from now on they'll have to go to Place: Zhu Feng for meals.

As for the disciples of the other peaks, establishing the Canteen is undoubtedly good news for them.

At least when it's Fàn diǎn, going to Place: Zhu Feng is obviously much closer than coming to Divine Sword Peak.

「Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing.......... 」

At night, everyone left one after another; Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others walked into the canteen, just as they opened their mouths, they were laughed and scolded by Hong Zun beside them.

「Still calling him junior brother? He's now the chief seat elder, call him Elder Ye Zhangqing. 」

Hearing this, Xu Jie's expression sank, his whole body froze, and he felt even more sour inside.

Damn, we used to be brothers, but now he's suddenly become a chief seat elder, our seniority is different.

Looking at Xu Jie's extremely unnatural expression, Ye Zhangqing laughed.

「Third senior brother, don't listen to the Peak Master teasing me; it's just a change of place, please sit. 」

Ye Zhangqing didn't really feel anything special about this, nor did he think about what would happen after becoming a chief seat elder.

As for these, Ye Zhangqing didn't really care much.

Moreover, to be honest, does being a chief seat elder make any difference to Ye Zhangqing?

Or perhaps, could it be that my previous treatment was worse than that of a chief seat elder? So it's just a title, no need to worry about it.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's smiling face, Xu Jie also returned to his normal state; as soon as he sat down, he was full of complaints.

「Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing, how can you just leave like that? We agreed to be brothers for life; you're going to the Main Peak, what are we senior brothers supposed to do now? 」

Huh???

「It's not that serious, third senior brother. 」

「Isn't this serious? Think about it, Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing, after you go to the Main Peak, if we senior brothers want to come find you later, wouldn't that be troublesome? Isn't it fine at Divine Sword Peak? Senior brothers, when we're free, we can also teach you swordsmanship—how good. 」

Seeing Xu Jie's reluctant look, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched, and he said faintly.

「But senior brother, I practice the blade. 」

Speaking of which, Ye Zhangqing is also an oddball at Divine Sword Peak; all the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ are sword cultivators, but he is a blade cultivator, practicing blade techniques.
