Chapter 19 You Completely Missed Senior Brother Ye's Deeper Meaning

Zi Yun stumbled back several steps, her gaze wary as she looked at Ye Fan.

She began to seriously contemplate a question.

From now on, it seemed she couldn't let Ye Fan touch any water for any reason.

Otherwise, the water in his head would never be cleared!

"You promised to give me before..." Zi Yun looked at Ye Fan with a wronged expression.

Ye Fan: ...

He admitted that Zi Yun's appearance, combined with that expression, did give off a cute vibe of a beautiful girl.

The problem was, when he thought of Zi Yun's age, over a thousand years old, it always felt a bit odd...

"By the way, Master," Ye Fan no longer dwelled on the little fox issue. "When I cook this demonic beast meat later, I'll need a few more herbs as seasonings..."

"List them for me, and I'll get them for you personally!" Zi Yun interrupted before Ye Fan could finish.

Two minutes later, Zi Yun, holding the little fox, vanished in a flash.

She feared that if she stayed any longer, her muddled-headed, stinky disciple would put the Nine-Tailed Spiritual Fox into the pot again!

Zi Yun Zhenren brought not only the medicinal herbs Ye Fan needed but also hundreds of specially made large pots.

The pot openings started at ten zhang in diameter...

That night, the entire peak of Immortal Jade Peak was filled with a rich aroma of meat.

The next day.

All the disciples of the Zi Yun Sect had the fortune to drink a bowl of meat broth.

Broth made from the meat of a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast!

In the past, this was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of!

At least in their region, Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts were items that had a price but no market.

Even if they were actually sold, they wouldn't be able to afford even a single bowl of this soup, even if they sold themselves!

It was likely a diluted soup!

Although this bowl of meat broth couldn't directly improve their cultivation, it could greatly temper their physical bodies!

For cultivators, the physical body was like a container.

Only when the container was large and strong enough could it hold more water.

This benefit was far greater than simply increasing a bit of cultivation!

While drinking the soup, the disciples' admiration and affection for Ye Fan reached their peak!

To be able to share so much demonic beast meat with ordinary disciples like them, this magnanimity was not something ordinary people possessed!

At least, they felt they would never be so generous if it were them.

Being kind to others and taking care of fellow disciples like this, who wouldn't like and admire such a good senior brother?

These disciples were so moved they wished they weren't female, or they would have run to Immortal Jade Peak to offer themselves in marriage.

Even though it was a diluted soup, the energy contained within was still too much for these ordinary disciples.

A full half an hour passed, and they had only managed to drink a small portion of a bowl.

As more meat broth was consumed, the disciples' complexions became increasingly flushed.

Strangely, they suddenly found that their fellow disciples, whom they had been with day in and day out, seemed to have become much more attractive...

Jin Se Peak.

This was where the female disciples resided.

They too were immensely grateful to this handsome and generous senior disciple.

"Senior Brother Ye is too good to us. My sister was so moved she cried," a female cultivator said with a flushed face.

"Sister?" her younger sister beside her asked curiously, "I was indeed very moved, but I didn't cry?"

"Hey? Sister, what's wrong? Your eyes look a little strange?"

Halfway through her sentence, this younger sister's eyes suddenly became hazy: "Sister, I suddenly realize you're so beautiful..."

Zi Yun Peak.

Zi Yun Zhenren and Zi Yan were also happily savoring their meat broth.

Of course, they were drinking Ye Fan's deluxe custom version.

"Master, I find you so beautiful..." Zi Yan murmured with flushed cheeks and a hazy expression.

"This is bad!" Zi Yun patted her forehead helplessly.

She suddenly remembered something.

Huoyu Mountain produced a type of herb that stimulated certain primal desires in humans.

And the demonic beasts of Huoyu Mountain happened to eat some of these herbs regularly...

Although it had little effect on her, it had quite a significant impact on disciples below the Golden Core stage.

Zi Yun Zhenren gave an order, and immediately someone ran off to control the situation.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't too serious; a Shen Ling Pill could solve it.

In the following days, Li Mingbai became utterly famous!

The male disciples would drag Li Mingbai out for drinks all day, and the female disciples would frequently send him flirtatious glances.

These disciples had clearly witnessed Li Mingbai's performance at the exchange大会.

They also knew Li Mingbai's aptitude. Normally, such an instance of challenging opponents above one's level would only happen in dreams.

Therefore, all the disciples unanimously believed that Li Mingbai's sudden fame must have come from some benefit he received from Senior Brother Ye!

After the last incident of failing to latch onto a powerful figure, these disciples had become more cunning.

They simply invited Li Mingbai for drinks to foster camaraderie, never mentioning anything about asking him to introduce them to Senior Brother Ye.

In their eyes, even if Li Mingbai made an introduction, the outcome would be no different from before.

They still needed to latch onto a strong figure, but their target had shifted to Li Mingbai.

In their view, Senior Brother Ye must have thought highly of Li Mingbai, which was why he was cultivating him.

Given Senior Brother Ye's monstrous talent and strength that he had displayed, he was bound to ascend to the immortal realm smoothly in the future.

Then, wouldn't Li Mingbai, who was being specially cultivated by Senior Brother Ye, also be successful?

As long as they befriended Li Mingbai, they were sure to be fine!

Zui Xian Ju was the most famous restaurant in Shili Town, and with its proximity to the Zi Yun Sect's base, its business was exceptionally good every day.

Normally, a meal here would cost tens of taels of silver, and a good meal would cost over a hundred taels.

And it wasn't just about having money; you couldn't guarantee a meal.

You either had to book in advance, or have strong connections.

At this moment, the entire Zui Xian Ju had been booked out.

The ones who made the booking were these disciples of the Zi Yun Sect.

This was the second situation mentioned earlier – having strong connections.

The owner of Zui Xian Ju personally cooked, and his entire family served as waiters: these were all cultivator masters, they had to be served well!

In the main hall of Zui Xian Ju.

"So, you're all just too short-sighted," Li Mingbai, already needing support to stand, said: "You only saw Senior Brother Ye take action, but you completely failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind it!"

"Senior Brother Li, you mean...?" The disciples immediately responded in agreement.

"Did you see those golden dragons Senior Brother Ye created that day?" Li Mingbai said with a smug look: "I ask you, if Senior Brother Ye had come forward to fight when the Sculpture King appeared, what would have happened?"

"Naturally, the Sculpture King and the demonic beasts would have been annihilated."

"That's not right. If it were that simple, Senior Brother Li wouldn't have asked specifically."

"What Junior Brother said is very true. But it seems there are no other possibilities, right...?"

Seeing the disciples looking troubled, Li Mingbai sighed inwardly.

Alas...

A bunch of rotten wood!

They couldn't see through such a simple matter.

As expected, in this world, only I understand Senior Brother Ye!

"Senior Brother Li..." a young disciple weakly said, "You mean, if Senior Brother Ye had acted directly, he would have accidentally harmed us?"

"Correct, you have great potential!" Li Mingbai praised in surprise.

"Whoosh—!"

The entire hall erupted!

So that's how it was!

Even from that distance, they could still clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from those golden dragons.

In fact, let alone being caught in the crossfire, even if they had gotten closer, they would have likely been annihilated!

If Senior Brother Ye had really gone to the spectator stands to fight...

With so many disciples gathered at the time, even with Senior Brother Ye's utmost caution, it would have been inevitable for him to accidentally injure his own people!

So Senior Brother Ye was protecting us!

"Your ability to grasp this point is indeed far superior to theirs," Li Mingbai's expression suddenly turned serious. "But Senior Brother Ye is far more than that!"

"Don't you find it strange?" Li Mingbai scanned the disciples in the hall. "Senior Brother Ye could have easily won the exchange大会 competition, but he deliberately did not participate."

The disciples' eyes flickered, as if they had thought of something.

"Then the Sculpture King suddenly appeared with a horde of demonic beasts," Li Mingbai continued. "If it were a coincidence, wouldn't that be too coincidental?"

"Junior Brother Li, you mean...!" someone asked, seemingly realizing something, with a shocked expression.

"Exactly!" Li Mingbai nodded affirmatively. "This was all within Senior Brother Ye's plan!"

"Whoosh—!" The hall exploded again.

At this moment, all the disciples understood!

So that's how it was!

So that's how it was!

So Senior Brother Ye had predicted the Sculpture King's arrival and had deliberately stayed at Immortal Jade Peak to wait for the rabbit!

This way, he could eliminate the Sculpture King and the demonic beasts without harming his own people!

In short.

Senior Brother Ye is awesome!!!
