The Sect Master's Mansion was built in the best location on the entire Star Gate Street.
The verdant mountains meander like a coiled dragon along the banks of the Void River, and the ancient palaces are hidden among the mountains and forests. The front of the gate is prosperous, while the inside is deep and secluded.
There is a door between heaven and earth, and only a fine line between vanity and tranquility.
Lai Siyu followed Steward Du to meet the Chief Steward, who was a beautiful female cultivator with a god-level cultivation. She exuded an aloofness that was difficult to approach.
In her eyes, Lai Siyu was just an ant-like existence, and she met her just to scare her.
With just one look from him, the female cultivator in front of him began to turn pale, cold sweat broke out, and her legs trembled slightly, but she stubbornly resisted the urge to kneel down.
She sneered, dispelling her menacing gaze. She said calmly, "Take her to the Deacon's Hall to claim your reward. Young lady, let me be frank. I'll give you whatever you ask for, but if the food you cook doesn't please the Master, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lai Siyu said respectfully, "Don't worry, I won't come back to do porcelain work without a fine steel drill!"
The female cultivator waved her hand, signaling them to leave. After the two of them saluted, Lai Siyu followed Steward Du and left to go to the Deacon's Hall to collect her reward.
After receiving the reward, Manager Du took Lai Siyu to the kitchen to have a look and arranged a cave for her near the kitchen.
Deacon Du, who was in charge of the kitchen, had not yet returned to the Sect Master's Mansion when he sent a message back, asking the servants to prepare everything. After Lai Siyu was settled in, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "Miss Muyu, now that you're settled in, why don't you prepare tonight's dishes?"
Manager Du was actually a little bit looking forward to it. He had spent so much money to hire this chef, and he wondered what other specialties she would have besides flower jelly.
Lai Siyu flipped her hand and took out a box. Deacon Du opened it and saw that it contained three-color flower jelly: osmanthus, peach blossom and rose.
"What about the other dish?" Deacon Du looked at Lai Siyu expectantly.
Lai Siyu smiled and said, “Let’s just do the flower jelly today. I’ll think about the other things and we’ll talk about it tomorrow.
Also, if you want to win the favor of your master, please be sure to tell me their details, such as what they like and dislike.
I also need to study the recipes that your City Lord's Mansion has used frequently over the years. This way, I can better decide on the next menu and see what is more suitable to prepare every day."
When Manager Du heard this, he thought it was reliable. This was clearly the attitude of an expert. No wonder she said that soul searching was useless.
Soul searching can get the formula in other people's minds, just like that monk back then... However, this is like killing the chicken to get the eggs. You may feel benefited at the time, but you ignore the infinite creativity of this kind of people.
No matter how good the food is, if it’s the same old thing over and over again, the master will get tired of it sooner or later.
No, he has to go and have a good talk with the steward. We must not do the stupid thing of abandoning the donkey after it has done its work this time.
"Okay, okay, you're right. I'll have someone bring you the recipes from the Sect Master's Mansion over the years.
As for the master's affairs, I will tell you in detail after I send the flower jelly over."
What a treasure!
Manager Du changed to a lush lotus leaf plate and placed the flower jelly on it. Immediately, thick mist overflowed from the lotus leaf plate and lingered among the flower jelly.
Amidst the mountains surrounding the Sect Master's Mansion lies a terraced lake. Mirror-like lakes stacked one upon another in a trapezoidal pattern on the mountain. A silvery streak cascades down from the mountaintop, cascading into the lake, then cascading down from the edge of the lake to the winding river at the foot of the mountain.
Each waterfall splashes out a misty water vapor, which reflects rainbow light under the sunlight.
Hundreds of rainbows hung between the layers of lakes, blooming with breathtaking beauty.
This valley is called Wanhong Valley.
On the cliff beside Wanhong Valley, there is a pavilion embedded in the cliff. It seems to be shaky and cannot withstand the wind and rain.
The melodious sound of a piano came from the pavilion. A female cultivator with a cold expression was sitting on the railing, her eyes wandering across the thousand-layer lake.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the male cultivator playing the piano frowned slightly. My cousin said that she came here to relax, but she was not happy for a single day.
Her depression was written all over her face. Since she came back, she seemed like a different person, no longer as lively and cheerful as before.
Over the years, no one knows what happened to her that made her change completely.
"Yaoyao..." The male cultivator stood up and walked to her, calling out with some concern. His voice was low and hoarse, but with a hint of... unwillingness.
The female cultivator turned around and forced a smile on her face. She just glanced at the male cultivator and then lowered her eyes again.
"Idle cousin."
"Yaoyao, you..." He knew that she liked Bai Shi, and he had been waiting for her all these years.
Because he knew that Bai Shi could not be brought back, he was suppressed in Pangu's tomb and would never be able to turn over.
So even though he was Fang Qingyao, he never worried about her.
Because he can wait!
Because, it is impossible for Bai Shi to come out.
However, what he didn't expect was that Fang Qingyao actually dared to abandon her own divinity and run to find Bai Shi.
When he heard the news, he completely... collapsed.
His persistence and his waiting seemed like a joke.
Yes, he only knew that Bai Shi couldn't get out, but he didn't expect that this girl would be so determined to find Bai Shi.
He was very scared for a while, afraid that she would not come back, afraid that she would stay there with Bai Shi...
Fortunately, God still had mercy on him, and Fang Qingyao finally came back!
Not only did she come back, she also accepted his proposal and was willing to marry him!
When Fang Qingyao agreed to his proposal, he was as happy as a child. Moreover, both the Queen of Gods and the Lord God agreed to this marriage, and the Lord God even issued an edict to grant the marriage.
However, Fang Qingyao has been depressed since she came back. As smart as he is, he certainly knows who she is sad for and who she is worried about.
But he was not afraid. He believed that as long as she was by his side, one day, his warmth would melt her cold heart.
"Brother Xian... I'm fine. I really like Qimen and the quiet life here. It's just...Cousin Xian, can you give me some time?"
Fang Qingyao raised her eyes and looked at Bai Xian, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and there was a hint of prayer and expectation in the flowing light.
Bai Xian hugged her into his arms, rubbing her head and saying reluctantly, "Silly girl, Cousin Xian has been waiting for you for so many years, so the future is not a big deal..."
Even if you don't love me, even if you have someone else in your heart, but the fact that you are by my side now is a dream come true for me.
I am not greedy. I just want you to accompany me in the years to come. If you are unhappy, I will find ways to make you happy.
You are sad, I will let the whole world cry with you..."
