"Brother Bai, what delicious thing are you making? It smells so good!" As soon as he entered the door, the sweet and sour aroma, along with a hint of meat, whetted Fan Ziming's appetite.
He knew that Bai Hao was definitely thinking about something good!
Bai Hao had just put a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs out of the pot on the table, and hadn't even sat down yet.
When he saw that it was Fan Ziming, he was stunned for a second, and then he quickly sat down, picked up his chopsticks and stuffed large pieces of ribs into his mouth!
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't do this! Leave me two pieces!" Fan Ziming suddenly became anxious and rushed forward without thinking twice. He didn't even have time to grab a bowl or chopsticks and just grabbed a piece of rib and put it in his mouth.
It's both sour and sweet, and the innermost part is perfectly fried pork ribs.
One bite and it's absolutely divine!
"Mmm, delicious! Brother Bai, what is this dish? I've never had it before!"
"There are plenty of dishes you haven't tried before. Do you expect me to cook every single one for you?" Bai Hao retorted.
"No, but this is really delicious." Fan Ziming chuckled.
On the surface, the two were chatting and laughing for a few moments, but in reality, their hands never stopped moving, and a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs was devoured in no time.
Although Fan Ziming started late, he was faster at cooking than Bai Hao, and he finished two-thirds of the ribs.
After finishing his meal, Fan Ziming asked with a look of lingering satisfaction, "Brother Bai, is there any more? I didn't get enough!"
Bai Hao, with a cold expression, said, "That's all."
Seriously, if he hadn't been quick, this plate of sweet and sour pork ribs might have been gone!
He just wanted to enjoy a peaceful and delicious meal of sweet and sour pork ribs, is that wrong?!
"That's all? That's a real shame." Fan Ziming looked somewhat regretful when he heard Bai Hao say that it was all gone.
If he had arrived earlier, he might have been able to grab a couple more pieces of ribs.
"Speak, what do you want from me? It's not mealtime yet," Bai Hao said to Fan Ziming with a displeased expression.
"Hehe, Brother Bai, don't give me that look. I'm here to convey the sect leader's orders, not to come to you on my own initiative." Fan Ziming chuckled and quickly brought up Su Yuewan.
"The sect leader's words? She wasn't saying anything just now, but now she's sending you to relay the message. What does this mean?" Bai Hao was speechless.
"I don't know about that, but let me relay the sect leader's words. The sect leader said that you, Brother Bai, will also be going to the ruins in half a month, and you should be going with us."
"And this time when we go to the ruins, we need to pay attention to some issues..." Fan Ziming rattled off a whole bunch of things, but Bai Hao only understood one of them.
Su Yuewan asked him to go to the ruins with her.
He had thought of this long ago, but the problem is, why did Su Yuewan wait until now to say it, and why didn't she say it herself?
Even Fan Ziming and more than a dozen other disciples were personally requested by Su Yuewan, but when it came to Bai Hao, Fan Ziming was sent to deliver the message.
What does this mean?
"Brother Bai, I don't understand why the sect leader didn't tell you himself, but insisted on having me convey the message." Fan Ziming seemed to have noticed Bai Hao's confusion and immediately offered his opinion.
"Besides, didn't the sect leader always like to come here? It made it so that I didn't have the chance to ask you for a special meal, Brother Bai."
"How would I know? I've already said that the sect leader is a woman with a strange temper. Women are fickle, and who knows, she might not come one day." Bai Hao curled his lips and said indifferently.
"Really? I also feel that the sect leader seems a bit different lately. She hasn't been coming to see you much lately, Brother Bai. I thought you had upset her," Fan Ziming said.
“It’s not the first or second time I’ve made her angry. If she was going to be angry, she would have been already. And if she were angry, she would definitely yell at me or hit me. How could she possibly be sulking and ignoring me?”
Bai Hao was confident about this.
Based on his understanding of Su Yuewan, if he really angered Su Yuewan, the result would definitely not be like this recent situation where Su Yuewan sulked and ignored him. Instead, she would scold him severely or pull his ear hard.
He didn't know about the others, but Su Yuewan was definitely the type to take revenge on Bai Hao on the spot, and there would be other acts of retaliation later!
She wouldn't be behaving like this now, her behavior is completely unlike what Su Yuewan should be doing.
"Could it be because the sect leader knows that you, Brother Bai, have reached the Zhixing Realm, so she wants to treat you better, but she's too proud to express it properly, which is why she's acting so strangely?" Fan Ziming offered his opinion.
"Is this... possible?" Bai Hao pondered.
Su Yuewan must know that he is now at the Knowledge and Action Realm, but even if he is at the Knowledge and Action Realm, he is nothing in front of her, who is at the Supreme Realm.
Or perhaps it was because the Breakthrough Pill he refined back then helped Su Yuewan successfully break through her mental barrier, which is why Su Yuewan felt grateful to him but didn't know how to express it.
This conflicting feeling left her unsure how to face Bai Hao.
Yes, that’s definitely the case!
Bai Hao thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more reliable.
Thinking about it carefully, Su Yuewan's abnormality started after she took his Breakthrough Pill and successfully broke through her mental barrier.
Moreover, she even shed tears when Su Yuewan successfully broke through...
The scene of Su Yuewan shedding tears is still deeply imprinted in Bai Hao's mind, causing him a slight pang of pain when he recalls it at this moment.
But soon,
"Little Fatty, since the sect leader's attitude towards me has changed so much, does that mean I'm no longer just a cook, but... a very important figure in the Falling Sea Sect?!" Bai Hao slightly changed the direction of his thinking and suddenly felt that it seemed to make a lot of sense.
"Absolutely! Brother Bai, you've reached the Knowledge and Action Realm now. Even the Grand Elder and Elder Jiang Bai are only at the peak of the Spirit Integration Realm. You're definitely the number one person in our sect, second only to the Sect Master!" Fan Ziming's respect was like a surging river, unstoppable.
"Back then, you fought against the elders of the Divine Sea Sect all by yourself. Your demeanor is deeply imprinted in my mind, and I regard you as my idol."
"Alright, stop being disgusting." Hearing Fan Ziming's words, Bai Hao got goosebumps and slapped his face away.
"However, I think this makes a lot of sense. Now that I have such a noble status, the sect leader certainly can no longer boss me around!"
He was full of confidence!
