"I, the sect master, have reached the supreme realm and will lead you to revitalize the Falling Sea Sect and create new glories!"
Su Yuewan's tone was calm, but her words sounded like the most inspiring speech in history to the disciples, making them all extremely excited.
The eldest elder, an old woman, was the most excited, raising her arms and shouting.
"Let's create new glories!"
Su Yuewan was quite satisfied with this performance. Although there weren't many disciples left, they all admired and trusted her immensely, making them loyal disciples of the Falling Sea Sect.
[Let's create another shovel!]
[They claim to be in the Supreme Realm, but they're clearly just at the 'Knowledge and Action' Realm. Why are they pretending to be in the Supreme Realm and spreading misinformation?]
(Realm stages: Qi Gathering, Foundation Building, Body Tempering, Breaking Bounds, Spirit Integration, Knowledge and Action, Supreme, Ineffable)
Bai Hao's words echoed in Su Yuewan's mind once again.
The previous sentence had made her lips twitch, and she was about to break down.
But the next sentence startled her, and then she was greatly alarmed.
How did he know that he was not in the Supreme Realm, but in the Realm of Knowledge and Action?
Having secluded herself in the ancestral land for so many years, Su Yuewan has indeed not yet reached the supreme realm, but she is only one step away from it.
That's not the key point. The key point is, how did Bai Hao know that he was only at the Knowledge and Action Realm? Could it be...?
She suddenly felt a little hesitant to imagine; could he be the true supreme being?
What was he doing at the Falling Sea Sect?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Su Yuewan's mind, but in the end, she dared not be sure about any of them.
The Fallen Sea Sect is in such a sorry state now, it's impossible for someone at the Supreme Realm to be here. She must have misheard.
We can't let this guy's thoughts bother us anymore.
But the next second Bai Hao's complaints came again.
Why aren't you disbanding yet? Hurry up and disband so we can go back and eat. I'm starving!
These days, every meal is precious; we might not be able to go on together any day, so we need to eat as much as possible.
I don't think this old woman can provide meals; we'd better prepare to run away.
Su Yuewan's lips twitched, and the five fingers of her jade-like hand couldn't help but clench together.
I can't take it anymore!
"Who is this person? How can he be so rude!"
She pointed her slender, jade-like finger at Bai Hao, and everyone immediately looked over.
【Grass! 】
Bai Hao's body stiffened.
He sat there, a blade of grass clenched in his mouth, occasionally shifting his weight, looking quite arrogant.
That posture is indeed a bit rude.
Upon seeing that it was Bai Hao, the First Elder quickly explained, "Reporting to the Sect Master, this man is named Bai Hao. He is just a handyman, responsible for feeding the chickens, raising the pigs, and cooking. He has never met you before, so he may have been a little rude. Please forgive him."
Then the Grand Elder hurriedly shouted at Bai Hao, "Why aren't you kneeling down to pay your respects to the Sect Master?!"
Bai Hao's eye twitched.
[Damn it, I'm not kneeling...]
"Greetings, Sect Master..."
I was unwilling in my heart, but my body betrayed me.
He had no desire to provoke Su Yuewan.
"A handyman who can cook?" Su Yuewan raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Perfect timing, I'm hungry. Why don't you cook me a meal to welcome me home?"
Su Yuewan didn't believe that Bai Hao was some kind of hidden master, even though this guy had guessed her cultivation level correctly.
What's more, this guy kept muttering to himself, even calling her an old woman!
They must be punished.
The problem is that she only heard Bai Hao's inner thoughts, not Bai Hao saying them himself, so there's no legitimate reason.
Since there's no reason, we have to find one.
The sect leader personally requested that someone cook, but Bai Hao stood there stunned. The Grand Elder quickly patted him as a reminder.
"Yes!" Bai Hao immediately stood up and said obediently.
"Okay, everyone can go now." Su Yuewan nodded in satisfaction, and just as she was about to leave, Bai Hao's nagging started again.
[Hungry my foot! We've been in seclusion for decades and you're not hungry at all. The moment you come out, you're looking for food. Are you a glutton?!]
Su Yuewan raised an eyebrow, watching Bai Hao's departing figure, a playful smile curving her lips.
...
If the fallen Luohai Sect still had any prestige, it would only be the kitchen in the backyard.
Bai Hao, as the head of the kitchen—a job no one actually wanted to do—not only kept the kitchen spotless, but also planted various kinds of ginger, scallions, garlic, and vegetables in the backyard, and even let some chickens roam freely outside the yard.
Although he lived the life of an "ordinary person," the system's sign-in rewards him with several essential productivity manuals such as "The Complete Book of Cooking" and "On the Importance of Animal Husbandry." He had been cooking for ten years. He could not say that his cooking skills were superb, but making a few dishes was a piece of cake for him.
"Make her a meal, who knows what that woman likes to eat? She might just be looking for an excuse to cause me trouble later." Bai Hao had a headache. Why did Su Yuewan have to pick a fight with him?
After so many years of seclusion, he has finally emerged. He shouldn't be giving a grand and inspiring speech to the disciples of his sect.
All they think about is eating!
"Sigh, I'll have to go all out today. I can't make ends meet without slaughtering a chicken."
The Luo Hai Sect usually eats only white rice and pickled vegetables, and only eats meat once every ten days.
Bai Hao's dozen or so chickens in the backyard were quite healthy, but he couldn't bear to part with them.
Finally, he spotted the smallest and thinnest one, crept over quietly, and asked...
"Hey, do you know how to play basketball?"
chicken:"??"
"Can you play basketball?" Bai Hao asked again.
The chicken thought the man was an idiot and quickly turned to leave, but suddenly a shoe flew over and hit it squarely on the head.
"Asking if you can play basketball, are you that arrogant?"
"You can't even play basketball, who else would I eat if not you?"
...
Qinghui Hall.
Su Yuewan sat languidly on the sect leader's throne, looking at the familiar yet dilapidated main hall, her beautiful eyes sparkling, devoid of joy or anger.
"Is the food not ready yet?"
She asked the Grand Elder casually.
"Uh, it should be soon. I'll go check on Bai Hao."
The elder was puzzled. Logically speaking, Su Yuewan should no longer need to eat grains and other foods after reaching her current level. So why was she in such a hurry to eat now?
But since Su Yuewan was the sect leader, she couldn't ask directly, so she could only go to the backyard to urge Bai Hao.
Soon, Bai Hao brought out two dishes: a plate of green vegetables and a plate of poached chicken, along with a bowl of crystal-clear, plump white rice.
"Sect Leader, please have your meal." Bai Hao placed the food on Su Yuewan's table. Upon seeing that there were only two dishes, she raised an eyebrow, her clear eyes looking up at Bai Hao.
"Only these two dishes?"
"The sect is currently short of resources, so this is all we can do for the time being," Bai Hao said obediently from the side, while inwardly complaining.
【Damn! You're complaining?!】
How much can you eat by yourself?! You're such a glutton!
"Click!"
A tiny crack suddenly appeared on the chopsticks in Su Yuewan's hand.
