"Alright, stop eating and take these to Master Han. I also want to take some to my master so he knows that I think about him constantly and haven't forgotten him or the Pill King Palace for a moment."

"This will only reveal that you are not by his side."

"Don't worry! Master will get used to it. Who knows, maybe one day Master will go out and pick up another apprentice?"

Xiu Qiyu patted Ye Xiruo's head: "You'll always have me."

Ye Xiruo's ears slowly turned red, and she said in a very soft voice, "I know."

So the two went their separate ways. Ye Xiruo asked an elder to deliver the spatial ring to the nearest branch of the Pill King Palace, and then teleport it back, making sure it was delivered to her master.

Xiu Qiyu brought a basket of snacks to the sect leader. This time, Han Tianxun didn't go fishing. Instead, he lay on a bamboo chair and slept. There was also a half-cup of cooled tea on the table.

Xiu Qiyu poured out the tea and brewed a fresh cup of top-grade spiritual tea for Han Tianxun. She said to Han Tianxun, "Master, please get up and have some tea! I brought some tea snacks."

Sure enough, Han Tianxin woke up quickly: "Tea and snacks, let me see, did the little girl make them?"

Xiu Qiyu nodded.

Han Tianxun also looked pleased: "Such a good girl, why didn't I discover her sooner? Why isn't she my apprentice?"

"Don't forget that Xiao Yezi now calls you Master."

"That's right, how come I didn't think of that? In that case, I'm actually the same generation as that little guy Jingli, I really never expected that."

"Master, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Xiu Qiyu took out one by one the uniquely shaped pastries, which were specially placed on white jade plates. With each pastry she took out, Han Tianxun's eyebrows twitched, clearly very excited, but he had to maintain his image in front of his disciple.

"Did the little girl make all of this herself?" I was surprised; she's incredibly talented.

"good."

"That's good. Now that the little girl is here, you don't have to worry about what to cook for banquets every time."

"master."

"I'm telling the truth, what are you still doing standing here?" Han Tianxin started to shoo people away.

"Little Ye plans to open a pill shop in Sunset Valley. Will those pill masters have any objections?"

"Open, open, open! Those people are all arrogant and overbearing, but in reality, they're only mediocre. I've been too lazy to deal with them these past few years, which has only made them more arrogant. The pills they refine are getting worse and worse, but their appetites are getting bigger and bigger."

"So you knew all along, Master."

"There's something about this continent that I don't know about, Little Qiqi. Originally, all these things were meant for you, but you actually ran off to the Pill King's Palace. It's too far, and I was too lazy to go and drag you back. Now that you're back, you can't run away anymore. The sect's affairs are now in your hands and the Grand Elder's. As for that little girl Lianqing, you can handle it yourself. I don't care." This was a complete relinquishment of his responsibilities.

"I understand, Master. Please enjoy your meal."

After receiving her master's affirmative reply, Xiu Qiyu returned home satisfied. Han Tianxun was also completely won over by Ye Xiruo's culinary skills. He didn't know how these pastries and buns were made, but they tasted exceptionally good. Even in some high-level planes, he had never tasted such delicious pastries.

Ye Xiruo also packed ten portions of medicinal cuisine into special containers, along with ten servings of appetizers and a jar of spirit peach wine. This could be considered the top-tier treatment at Zuixianju.

"Thank you for your hard work, Little Leaf."

Ye Xiruo shook her head: "I'm just advertising our Drunken Immortal Abode. Sooner or later, my Drunken Immortal Abode will be all over the continent."

Ye Xiruo changed into a pale yellow dress, bright and sweet. Her long, black hair was styled in a simple updo, with a purple jade hairpin inserted diagonally. Her still-childish face had very lively, dark eyes that made her features bright and vivid.

"Alright, let's go!"

Xiu Qiyu nodded, and Hao Yexi walked out one after the other.

Xiu Qiyu carried both large baskets in front, while Ye Xiruo followed behind.

Along the way, their unusual pair attracted a lot of attention, especially Ye Xiruo, who made her first public appearance, leaving many people stunned.

This lively, adorable, and spirited little girl must be the legendary young master of the palace. Who said she was incredibly ugly, the ugliest one in the Pill King Palace? Who said that if she weren't a divine master, Jing Li would never have taken her as a disciple? That's all just a rumor! If this is considered ugly, they would have been too ashamed to show their faces in public long ago! Rumors really do kill people!

Throughout the journey, Xiu Qiyu wore a faint smile, captivating countless people. It was such a blissful moment; my senior brother actually smiled at me! I must be dreaming, and still half asleep.

Ye Xiruo also received a lot of attention; Xiu Qi's group of junior brothers and sisters seemed quite interesting.

The banquet venue wasn't far away, and the two arrived in less than half an hour. Xiu Qiyu pulled Ye Xiruo to a spot in the middle towards the back, and with a wave of her hand, she conjured an ice platform, taking out the food from the basket one by one!

Ye Xiruo took out a jar of spirit peach wine and placed it on the table to chill it; it might taste even better that way.

The process of the two of them placing the food was observed by everyone, who had been curious all the way. Would the senior brother be serving boiled vegetables again today? It seemed a bit unreasonable to serve boiled vegetables on such a magnificent ice platform.

Wait a minute, this year Senior Brother isn't alone; there's also a Young Palace Master beside him. Let's count—they brought out a total of thirty servings of food. I'm really curious about what Senior Brother brought this year.

There's also a jar of spirit wine, happiness.

The banquet hadn't started yet, but about two hundred people had arrived, less than half. Not long after Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo had settled down, Qing Zhiyi came over, waving her fan. She was also quite surprised to see the luxurious setup the two had.

"What exactly did you bring?"

Ye Xiruo only said three words, and Qing Zhiyi immediately deflated: "Zui Xian Ju". Ye Xiurong was right, the medicinal cuisine and snacks were all from Zui Xian Ju, only the pastries and buns were made by herself.

"Senior Brother, you really benefited from Xiao Yezi's help this time. Otherwise, you would have had to watch your disciples' expectant faces turn into disappointment again."

Even when Ye Xi thought of that scene, she couldn't help but laugh.

"When does the banquet start? I want to see what food others have brought, and if there's anything good to eat?" Ye Xiruo was very interested in the banquet.

"Wait a minute! There aren't many places that can match the level of Zuixianju. Xiaoyezi, you must be mentally prepared."
