Chapter 636

Li Zhengqing angrily snapped, "Is the Dao Yi Sect really completely lacking any tension?"

The Tianlong Holy Land didn't come looking for you, yet you yourselves came knocking.

Facing Li Zhengqing's angry tirade, Wang Xiao immediately spoke up.

"Third Elder, I'll personally go to the Tang family to investigate."

Huh???

Li Zhengqing, who had been shouting angrily, upon hearing Wang Xiao's words, flashed a hint of suspicion in his eyes and said lightly.

"Are you sure you're going to investigate?"

"Um....... Definitely."

"It's not for that bite of food, is it?"

"Absolutely not."

Wang Xiao displayed righteous vigor, but Li Zhengqing didn't believe a word of it.

Since returning to Zhongzhou, Li Zhengqing had practically been starving, only unfortunately he had no chance.

Wang Xiao normally would rather lie down than sit up; now he actively requests to go to Tang Fort, which clearly indicates something's up.

Moreover, you're drooling at the corner of your mouth.

"No need, I, the Sect Master, will go myself this time."

"Huh?"

Hearing that, Wang Xiao blinked, "This trivial matter requires the Third Elder to go himself?"

"Well........ there's no need for that, Third Elder, you're busy with affairs; let............"

"No more talk; this time I, the Sect Master, will go myself—you two stay put in the Holy Land."

Unfortunately, Li Zhengqing gave them no chance, directly hammered the decision, and then left the Holy Land.

"This old fogey is definitely also heading there for a meal."

Watching Li Zhengqing disappear, Wang Xiao sneered contemptuously, speaking righteously: "Who isn't going there for that bite of food?"

"So what should we do?"

Xiao Han Yi coldly said from the side, "Don't look at her silence; in fact, the hunger worms in her stomach are already growling."

After returning to Zhongzhou, she sought many spirit chefs, but none could match Ye Zhangqing's skill.

Not to mention comparison, there isn't even anything close.

It can be described as bland and tasteless.

This person, indeed, finds it easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant back to frugal.

"No problem, we two will take a mission, then detour and head straight to Tang Fort."

"Okay."

Li Zhengqing exited the Yunluo Holy Land and rushed straight to Tang Fort, his eyes already shining with excitement.

After a month's interval, we can finally eat the cooking of that kid Zhangqing again.

But before they had gone far, they met the other four Great Saints of the Yunluo Holy Land heading toward them.

"You............."

The five happened to meet, each looking at each other, and judging by their direction, they all seemed to be heading toward Tang Fort.

"Haha, what a coincidence."

These five are all elders of the Yunluo Holy Land who have previously been to Dongzhou and participated in that imperial tomb.

Appearing here now, everyone tacitly understands.

"What a load of crap, you're all going to Tang Fort, right?"

"Sigh, upon hearing about the Dao Yi Sect matter, I rushed out immediately; you say they're not joking, daring to come to Zhongzhou."

"That's right, sigh, I just wanted to personally go see the situation."

"Me too."

"Then let's go together."

"Good."

The five, in tacit understanding, rushed straight to Tang Fort; however, inside the Yunluo Holy Land, the Grand Elder and Second Elder were completely bewildered.

"What are Old Three and them up to? Why did they all leave the sect?"

Normally, holy land elders don't suddenly leave the sect unless something especially urgent occurs.

What's more, it's all five of them—this is outrageous.

"It seems to be because of the Dao Yi Sect matter."

"The Dao Yi Sect? That doesn't warrant all five going together."

Just a single Dao Yi Sect showing up—how could it possibly prompt all five Great Saints of the holy land to mobilize simultaneously?

For a moment the Grand Elder and others were somewhat puzzled, but they didn't press further; after thinking, they just let it go.

Unaware that Li Zhengqing and the five were on their way, when mealtime arrived, the Tang family personally came to invite.

However, upon seeing only a single disciple emerge, Tang Yao expressed some doubt.

"Sect Master Qi and them..........."

"The Sect Master and them suddenly have affairs, so they sent me to represent the Dao Yi Sect at the banquet; I hope the Tang family patriarch will excuse us."

Huh???

Regarding that, Tang Yao had no objection, after all the Dao Yi Sect's strength stands here; even if they only sent a single disciple as representative, the Tang family wouldn't dare say anything.

However, this disciple's manner of speaking—looking as if he'd eaten feces—what does that mean?

Is my Tang family's banquet really so despised by you?

He felt some dissatisfaction in his heart, but dissatisfaction aside, Tang Yao didn't say anything and still respectfully asked this disciple to go to the Front Hall.

Along the way this disciple wore an expression of having nothing to live for, all because his own strength was weak, so he was pushed out to attend the banquet? The Sect Master and the others are really going too far.

Just thinking that others could taste Ye Zhangqing's delicious food while he had to come to the banquet made him furious.

What's worse is, hearing that there were new dishes today made him feel even worse.

"I need to think of a way to get out quickly; if I go back early, maybe I can still eat some leftovers."

He secretly schemed an escape plan, so much so that after arriving at the banquet, this disciple remained completely silent.

Meanwhile, Tang Yao and the other Tang family members, seeing this, were puzzled but dared not disturb him.

As the food and wine were served, Tang Yao had originally wanted to exchange a few polite words, but this disciple spoke first.

"Tang family head, no need for pleasantries; since everyone is here, let's start eating."

Hmm???

"Everyone's here? Glancing around at the many empty seats, where the hell do you see that everyone's here?"

But this disciple didn't care at all; after saying that, he directly picked up his bowl and started eating.

He casually picked up a chopstickful; the taste was okay, but compared to Ye Zhangqing's, it was far inferior and failed to spark any interest in him.

This this this...........

Watching this disciple's actions, the Tang family members were all momentarily stunned; what now?

But thinking of the strength of the Dao Yi Sect, perhaps they just have a quirky temperament.

But after all, this is a banquet; the atmosphere still needs to liven up.

While thinking about how to liven the mood, they saw the disciple put down his chopsticks, and under Tang Yao's astonished gaze, rise and bow.

"Thank you, Tang family head, for your generous hospitality; I have finished eating, and if there's nothing else, I will take my leave."

"No, I.............."

"Tang family head, farewell."

Hmm???

Without even getting a word out, this disciple had already turned and walked away.

Watching his retreating back, Tang Yao and all the Tang family members were left dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on? From the moment you sat down until now, have you even had a hundred breaths? You're already done eating?

Our dishes aren't even all served yet.

"Th-this... Qingqing, is the Dao Yi Sect's temperament always this weird?"

Tang Yao looked unnaturally at Tang Qingqing beside him; hearing this, Tang Qingqing had already guessed the reason and spoke with a complex expression.

"Um... maybe they just don't fancy our dishes."

"Hmm??? Don't fancy? My Tang family has been spirit chefs for generations; I dare not say anything else, but just this dish alone—even if you look across Zhongzhou, those that can compare with our Tang family are few and far between."
