Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the sky outside the small shop.
Looking at the silver moon hanging high in the sky, Qi Qingyao's expression became increasingly severe.
It was almost time to return and pay respects to her master, but Jiang Huanyue, who had just entered the store, showed no signs of coming out!
"Things are getting increasingly out of hand."
She had just seen many disciples leave under Li Yang's persuasion.
Qi Qingyao let out a sigh of relief, but now she was filled with anger. She decided to catch Jiang Huanyue herself and teach her how strict the sect rules were and how safe the sect was!
"Such a remote place can attract so many disciples. Now, even a personal disciple like junior sister Jiang is unwilling to leave for a long time. It's not safe!"
In Qi Qingyao's heart, the simple and crude little store below had become a colossal lightning bolt lying in ambush outside the Nine Planet Sect!
However, for the safety of her sect and Jiang Huanyue, Qi Qingyao finally suppressed her plan to leave directly.
Instead, she left behind a face-concealing spell technique and directed the sword light to fly away.
After seeing the figures of the disciples leaving, Qi Qingyao immediately flew down and blocked their way.
"My fellow junior brothers, may I ask what you did in the store just now? Why are you all unwilling to leave?"
"What small shop? No, we just came back a little late from a mission."
"Yes, yes. Today's task is indeed a bit heavy."
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister. We'll go back immediately."
When the few disciples saw an unfamiliar Senior Sister blocking their way, their first reaction was not to reveal the store's situation. Now, there were enough people who knew about it.
If there were a group of senior sisters and brothers, they wouldn't even have a bite!
"B * stard, did the Northern Crimson Peak outer sect elder only teach you to lie?"
Hearing these people's stammering answers ...
Qi Qingyao was suddenly furious. She immediately waved her hand and dispelled the spell technique that covered her face. She twisted her willowy eyebrows and stared at the people before her.
"Senior Sister, why are you here?"
"We were wrong, Senior Sister."
When they saw Qi Qingyao's appearance, these disciples were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. They hurriedly knelt on the ground, trying to beg for Qi Qingyao's forgiveness.
"Hmph, quickly tell me the truth. If there's any falsehood …."
Qi Qingyao didn't continue, but these disciples had already thought of their incomparably miserable fate. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to hide anything. They told her the whole story.
"It's a small shop run by an in-name disciple. I was just curious and came to take a look. In the end, it's even more delicious than I imagined?"
After hearing their descriptions ...
Qi Qingyao's first thought was that these guys had lost their minds.
The cultivators abandoned all distracting thoughts. How could they be tied down by a mere desire for food to this extent?
"It's true, Senior Sister!"
One of the disciples saw Qi Qingyao's disbelief and hurriedly explained, "Senior Sister, we definitely wouldn't dare to lie to you. The golden egg fried rice I ate just now was indeed extraordinary."
"Even if I close my eyes now, Junior Brother seems to be able to smell the fragrance of the rice. It's impossible to forget!"
" That's right, Senior Sister. I heard that a senior brother will pay three marrow cleansing pills to buy a bowl of rice today!"
"Not only that, but Junior Sister Jiang also took out the moon spirit pearl and said that she wanted to invite Junior Brother Li Yang up the mountain to be her study attendant!"
Everyone explained at once.
Listening to those unbelievable descriptions, Qi Qingyao's brows furrowed even more.
"What kind of food is it that has such magical power? The other disciples also think about it and can't forget it."
Qi Qingyao, filled with complicated thoughts, suddenly noticed the trembling disciples before her and snorted coldly, "Go back!"
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
As if they had been pardoned, the disciples scrambled to their feet and ran away as fast as they could.
Qi Qingyao, standing in the same place, kept having one thought after another in her mind.
'It's unforgettable. Could it be some demonic spell? No, if someone can cast such a powerful spell, he shouldn't be able to avoid my eyes.
Then, could it be that the food was mixed with some forbidden medicine?
That shouldn't be the case. I've never heard of any forbidden medicine that can make people forget to return so quickly.'
The more Qi Qingyao thought about it, the more puzzled she became.
However, after looking at the sky, Qi Qingyao decided to go to the store to check out the situation.
In the Nine Planet Sect's territory, even if something happened, Qi Qingyao was confident she could solve this problem!
After putting away the spirit sword, Qi Qingyao followed the mountain path and came to the front of the store.
"Junior Sister, come out!"
Standing outside the door, Qi Qingyao snorted coldly.
The voice was accompanied by spiritual energy, and the store door was instantly pushed open.
"Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Jiang Huanyue's little head popped out of the kitchen in shock.
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't you know what time it is? Quickly come back with me!"
Seeing Jiang Huanyue's calm expression, Qi Qingyao was relieved, but she still looked grave.
"No, Junior Brother has already promised to cook a new dish for me. I can't leave!"
Qi Qingyao didn't expect that Jiang Huanyue, who used to listen to her every word, would be the one who fell.
Today, however, she rejected her without any hesitation.
"Junior Sister, do you think Senior Sister is too gentle to you?"
"Senior Sister…"
She saw that Qi Qingyao was about to get angry.
Jiang Huanyue hurriedly jumped out of the kitchen and held Qi Qingyao's arm. She said coquettishly, "Just wait a little longer, just a little longer!"
"Junior Brother can cook quickly. I'll leave immediately after I'm done eating!
If Senior Sister agrees to let me finish this dish, I'll do whatever you say. Otherwise, I'll never leave!"
She looked at Jiang Huanyue's sad face.
Qi Qingyao's brows raised slightly. She looked at the ordinary-looking store in surprise, and her heart was inexplicably shocked.
Jiang Huanyue was at the age where she was lively and active. She didn't dare to pester her anymore after she had punished her a few times.
However, Jiang Huanyue knew she would be angry, but she still wanted to finish the meal before returning to the sect.
Was the food made by this in-name disciple that good?
In addition to the shock, the seed of doubt in Qi Qingyao's heart also grew stronger.
