Chapter 573: Qi Xiong Treats to a Meal

Looking at Qi Xiong like this, there's not even a hint of being hunted; his whole face glowed red.

Not only were Tie Shou and the others gritting their teeth, the Fomen crowd wore an expression of doubting life itself.

When the Fomen sages came to their senses and saw Jiang Mumying beside Qi Xiong, they each gritted their teeth and said.

"Forget-Worry, you...... you betrayed my Buddha?"

Forget-Worry is Jiang Mumying's dharma name; the sages naturally know her well.

After all, this person has some fame in the Western Province; having taken up the monastic life midway, she can cultivate Fomen arts, progressing a thousand miles a day, with extraordinary talent.

Even the Buddha himself declared that Forget-Worry would surely become a saint in the future.

But no one expected that the Forget-Worry whom the Buddha had high hopes for would now betray the Fomen.

Seeing Jiang Mumying appear here, the Fomen sages understood everything.

No wonder they searched the entire Dongzhou Dukou but found no trace of Qi Xiong; it turns out Forget-Worry hid him.

They had never doubted Forget-Worry either, after all she is considered a core figure of the Fomen.

Faced with the angry shouts of the Fomen sages, Jiang Mumying remained silent, while Qi Xiong sneered.

"What bullshit Forget-Worry, she is Jiang Mumying."

"Qi Xiong, you're going too far."

Upon hearing that, several Fomen sages couldn't help but rush at him, but in the next second Tie Shou, Bai Hua Xianzi and the others stopped them.

Angry as they were, they couldn't really not rescue him.

Under the cover of Tie Shou and the others, Qi Xiong put one arm around Jiang Mumying, with Su Luoxing following behind, and they swaggered away from the Dongzhou Dukou.

Watching Qi Xiong's retreating back, the Fomen sages gritted their teeth, cursing, "Damn him, he really deserves to die."

If Qi Xiong had fled while seriously injured, they might have found it a little easier to accept.

But now, damn it, you're embracing our Fomen elder and swaggering off like you're strolling through a backyard garden—that's going too far, isn't it?

Nobody expected the outcome to turn out like this.

After all that effort, we still let Qi Xiong escape, and he did so openly and aboveboard.

All the way to the temporary camp, as expected, Qi Xiong was besieged by everyone.

Especially Tie Shou, Qin Shan Hai, Bai Hua Xianzi and the others hated Qi Xiong so much they gritted their teeth.

"Senior Brother, that's not fair; we fought tooth and nail for you, yet you're enjoying blessings..........."

"It's not a coincidence I ran into Yingying; besides, I've been waiting for you to break through the blockade."

Qi Xiong explained helplessly.

What he said were facts and made sense, but seeing him hold Jiang Mumying's little hand, the two looking all lovey-dovey, Bai Hua Xianzi and the others just felt resentful.

"Yo, Little Ye Zhangqing also came, good, good, good."

Paying no heed to everyone's anger, Qi Xiong saw Ye Zhangqing just walk into the hall and immediately rose with a smile.

Ye Zhangqing was pleasantly surprised to be here; it looked like he could finally enjoy fresh meals.

Although the dried rations weren't bad, they always lacked something; they're okay for emergencies, but they can't compare to freshly made food.

It's the same principle that takeout can never beat dining in.

"Sect Master."

"Haha, you little rascal, you're being polite with me now; come, let me introduce.........."

He immediately introduced Jiang Mumying to Ye Zhangqing, who merely gave a polite greeting.

As for Jiang Mumying, her beautiful eyes were full of doubt: "When did the Dao Yi Sect get such a young chief elder?"

And what the heck is a canteen?

Jiang Mumying still didn't understand Ye Zhangqing, but soon, as mealtime arrived, she realized her mistake.

After the big battle, Ye Zhangqing didn't slack off either; he prepared plenty of food.

The disciples of the Dao Yi Sect and Luo Xia Sect present all got a share, with no need to fight over it.

As for Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing and the other sect's sages, they even got to eat from the special stove, making Qi Xiong grin from ear to ear.

"Yingying, hurry up and eat, or it'll be gone."

Qi Xiong was truly thoughtful, reminding Jiang Mumying to hurry up even before the dishes arrived.

But Jiang Mumying, not understanding this, didn't quite grasp Qi Xiong's meaning.

"Impolite, everyone's here—how can you............."

"Ah, Yingying, you don't understand."

Jiang Mumying obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the situation; in her view, everyone eating at the same table must observe propriety.

But in the Dao Yi Sect, all that bullshit etiquette is just nonsense.

In the entire Dao Yi Sect, except for Bai Hua Xianzi, Yu Mo and the other Great Saint ancestors, no one can keep propriety while eating unless they want to go hungry.

He was still planning to explain further, but at that moment Zhong Ling and the other Inner Disciples had already brought the dishes to the table.

Seeing that, Tie Shou, Qin Shan Hai, including Su Luoxing and the others, were anything but polite, and they immediately dug in with gusto.

"Holy crap, no time to explain—Yingying, eat fast!"

With a strange cry, Qi Xiong also joined the fray, while only Jiang Mumying beside him remained dazed, muttering a sentence.

"So fragrant!"

As soon as the dishes were brought up, Jiang Mumying caught a whiff of an irresistible aroma.

But after she finished marveling and turned her head, the dishes on the table were gone.

Over ten dishes, all gone—even the plates were licked clean.

For a moment, Jiang Mumying was dazed—no, could there have been even ten breaths between the dishes being served and disappearing?

Looking again at Qi Xiong and the others, each held a big bowl brimming with food.

"You......... you all................"

With a dazed look, she said to everyone, but at this moment no one paid attention to her; only Qi Xiong, who was wolfing down his food, looked at Jiang Mumying like that, and with a reluctant expression, picked a small shred of meat from his own bowl and gave it to her.

"Yingying, eat mine."

Seeing Qi Xiong like this, Qin ShanHai and Tie Shou, who were at the same table, both looked shocked.

Holy crap, Senior Brother actually shared his own dish with someone else? This is true love, I'm dying.

Don't think it's just a tiny shred of meat; given Qi Xiong's personality, this is already extremely difficult—when has Qi Xiong ever done something like this before?

It would be fine if he didn't come to snatch yours, but he still wants to let him share with you?

As for Jiang Mumying, however, she had a complex expression, looking at the pile of food in Qi Xiong's bowl, and at her own bowl, that lone little shred of meat.

Jiang Mumying opened her mouth, but found she couldn't utter a word, while Qi Xiong looked wary.

"Yingying, I don't have much either, you eat first, okay?"

Huh???

Gazing gloomily at that big bowl piled high, you call this 'not much'? Do you think I'm blind or brainless?

Her eyes full of resentment, Jiang Mumying helplessly picked up the meat shred in her bowl and slowly put it in her mouth; just as she swallowed, her gaze instantly widened.

"This... this... this.............."

Just like everyone else who had their first taste of Ye Zhangqing's cooking, her expression was the same.
