At noon, the aroma of food filled the air on Bixian Mountain.
It's true, the food cooked over a wood fire in a big pot, stewed with chicken, duck, fish and meat, is incredibly fragrant.
The children, who were waiting for lunch after school, suddenly became very happy, running around Ye Liang and the senior sisters excitedly, knowing that there would be something delicious for lunch!
Senior uncles and great uncles are overjoyed to see that even younger disciples like Ye Liang have started taking on apprentices, ensuring the continuation of the sect's legacy.
Later, they learned that there were many other children under the sect's tutelage who were also disciples, which made everyone even happier.
While they were busy, Ye Liang was also extremely busy.
They maintain close contact with the Hidden True Sword Pavilion, the Flame Soldiers Sect, and the Ghost Fiend Sect, and are always ready to go to Xiaodukou Village to pick them up.
Master Qin Shoufeng of Yanbing Sect arrived just in time to have lunch with the sect at Bixian Mountain.
Li Yuxia's disciple also returned to the sect.
The reunion of master and disciple was naturally another touching scene.
Fellow senior sisters, you have also seen your fellow disciples of the same generation as you in the past, and you are naturally very excited and have a lot to say.
Ye Liang, of course, was busy taking care of his master and discussing the accommodation issues for the Yanbing Sect disciples with him.
Finally, it was decided that they would camp at the foot of the mountain for the night. After all, Bixian Sect was a women's sect, and the disciples of Yanbing Sect were outsiders, so it was not appropriate for them to stay overnight on the mountain.
However, you can eat at the mountain gate.
Ultimately, the number of disciples in their Yanbing Sect was not large, and with the sect-marriage relationship through Zhang Yuzhen, it would be no problem for Ye Liang to provide them with food.
After the agreement was reached, everything was settled. All that was left was for everyone to have dinner. After dinner, Master Qin Shoufeng led his disciples down to set up camp.
There are already quite a few campsites at the foot of the mountain.
Besides the camp of the Eternal Sect, other martial arts forces also set up camp here, probably waiting to watch the big battle.
Furthermore, the branch forces of the Ghost Fiend Sect have already set up camp at the foot of the mountain as the vanguard.
They are an evil sect, and righteous people have too many grudges and feuds with them, so they will not choose a campsite close to them.
This made their camp easily identifiable, though somewhat lonely.
Because the Hidden Sword Pavilion did not have the strength of the evil sects, which had branches in various places, they did not have any vanguard forces and did not build any camps there.
The leader of the Haoqi Sect seems to have arrived. Construction of the Haoqi Sect's camp has begun. The Haoqi Sect's banner has been raised.
The tail of the Wan Gu Sect disciples' procession is no longer in Xiaodukou Village. The tail of the procession is now about halfway through the journey. It seems that the Wan Gu Sect disciples will be able to assemble 3,000 people before this evening.
That is beyond doubt.
Lunch was served, a little later than usual. But the fact that lunch was served at all was already quite an achievement.
After all, it's not easy to cook for so many people.
There were no more banquet dishes with a few plates and bowls. But everyone got a big bowl of food and a few steamed buns. The food was plentiful, and there was chicken, duck, and meat. The stew was served in a big pot and smelled delicious.
Although it lacks the grandeur of those plates and bowls, it's still satisfying to eat there.
Even the disciples of Yanbing Sect said that eating like this, leaning against the wall with a big bowl of stewed vegetables, chicken and duck, was delicious.
The outer disciples all said this, and the disciples of the main sect couldn't help but recall the bitter days when they ate only vegetables and tofu with their master, and they couldn't help but shed many tears again.
The eldest sister tried to comfort everyone, saying that life was better now, so why were they still crying? Even though she was as cold and aloof as she said that, tears still welled up in her eyes.
"Ye Liang, if it weren't for you, we would have died long ago, let alone be able to eat this meal so happily with so many senior disciples." The junior sister's eyes were also red. She squatted down with her rice bowl, took Little Deer Bao'er with her, and ran to Ye Liang's side, choking with sobs.
Ye Liang said with heartache for his junior sister, "Perhaps I was captured by the patriarch to help the senior sisters strengthen the sect. So, perhaps the sect is destined to become strong and revive. Even without Ye Liang, there would be Li Liang or Wang Liang."
"You're just talking nonsense. But, the way you talk makes people feel good." Hearing Ye Liang's words, the junior sister smiled, and her mood immediately improved.
"Let's eat." Ye Liang smiled, took a big bite of the vegetables, and then a big bite of the steamed bun, saying it was delicious.
Once upon a time, who would have believed that a young master who found even the finest delicacies bland and uninteresting could taste such delicious stew as a farmer doing heavy physical labor?
Even if Ye Liang's family saw this today, they probably wouldn't recognize it as the Ye Liang they know!
After lunch, Master Qin Shoufeng immediately led his disciples down the mountain to set up camp.
Ye Liang also went to Xiaodukou Village to welcome Lu Ruoshui, as well as the Pavilion Master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion who came with her, and many elders.
"Brother Ye!" Lu Ruoshui was overjoyed to see Ye Liang.
Ye Liang was also very excited to see Lu Ruoshui: "Ruoshui! You've come! You must be tired from your journey."
"Brother Ye, let me introduce you to the Pavilion Master of my Sword Pavilion!" Lu Ruoshui immediately introduced Ye Liang. Introducing him to the Pavilion Master was a significant matter, demonstrating how much Lu Ruoshui valued Ye Liang.
"Sect Leader, is this Brother Ye, whom you've often said you wanted to meet? What do you think of Brother Ye after meeting you today?"
Although the Pavilion Master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion was middle-aged and her figure had inevitably changed somewhat, no longer as slender and graceful as a young girl, she still exuded an air of otherworldly elegance. She immediately said to Ye Liang, "Indeed, a heroic young man, handsome and extraordinary!"
"You flatter me, Pavilion Master. Please come in. My master, my uncle, and even my great-uncle have all returned to our sect. I will first lead you and the elders to see my master. I will continue to wait here to receive others. Please forgive me if there has been any inadequacy in our hospitality today." Ye Liang was too busy today and could only get straight to the point regarding the arrangements.
Moreover, this is not considered impolite. After all, having Zhang Yuzhen, who is the head of the Bixian Sect, receive the Pavilion Master of the Cangzhen Sword Pavilion is a matter of equal status.
Moreover, Ye Liang personally came to the ferry crossing to welcome them, which was a great honor!
As expected, the people of the Hidden Sword Pavilion were very satisfied with this arrangement.
He immediately said, "Alright, then I'll go see your master. Sorry to bother you."
"Not at all. It is an honor for our sect to have the Pavilion Master here." Ye Liang skillfully led the many disciples of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion onto the teleportation array.
Upon seeing the teleportation array, a slight look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Pavilion Master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion. He then nodded with satisfaction and calmly led his disciples into the teleportation array, heading towards the Immortal Sect.
It seems that the Pavilion Master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion was also quite surprised. Under Ye Liang's leadership, Bixian Sect now has the ability to teleport using magic arrays.
