"What a nice view……"
Watching the fireworks bloom in the night sky with their exquisite beauty, Su Yuewan's eyes shone brightly like stars, and the brilliant light of the flames shone on her face, making her even more beautiful than the fireworks.
Bai Hao stared blankly at Su Yuewan's breathtakingly beautiful profile, his breath catching in his throat.
With such a beautiful scene and lovely people, how could one not be moved?
But Bai Hao quickly shook his head, trying to shake this incredible feeling out of his head.
[Damn it, I don't know why this woman is so beautiful; she's always trying to seduce people.]
Fortunately, I'm experienced and have a strong immune system, otherwise I would have fallen victim.
Besides, these fireworks are just so-so, nothing special. I could probably make them look better than that.
Bai Hao pursed his lips and complained inwardly.
After the fireworks ended, the surroundings returned to silence.
"Let's go back." Su Yuewan suddenly stood up and walked directly towards the Luohai Sect.
"Oh, wait for me!" Bai Hao belatedly realized and quickly followed.
He felt that Su Yuewan seemed to be acting a little strange all of a sudden.
It might just be my imagination.
...
The party ended just like that.
The next morning, Bai Hao was woken up by a knock on the door while he was still asleep.
"Who is it? Can't a person get a good night's sleep this early in the morning?!" Bai Hao reluctantly got up, yawning as he opened the door in Zhouqu.
As soon as he opened the door, a wrinkled, withered face, as dry as tree bark, suddenly appeared before him, startling Bai Hao.
"The...Elder?"
The visitor was the Grand Elder.
"You still recognize me?" The elder looked at him coldly.
"Elder, how could I not know you? Is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Hao asked with a grin.
He was still afraid of the Grand Elder.
After all, for the past ten years, the Grand Elder had been the head of the Falling Sea Sect, and he had scolded Bai Hao quite a bit—there was nothing to scold him about in terms of cultivation, but he would scold him for cooking badly.
Add to that the Elder's terrifying appearance, how could Bai Hao not be afraid?
However, since Su Yuewan emerged from seclusion, and since Su Yuewan had taken him as her disciple, although he was actually still a cook, he was nominally Su Yuewan's personally taught disciple, so the Grand Elder didn't dare to do anything to him.
This is how Bai Hao escaped a disaster.
But judging from the current situation, his wife still harbors a great deal of resentment towards him...
"I'm here to inform you that starting today, you will be responsible for driving away the nearby monsters in Bailu Town for three days," the Grand Elder said indifferently.
"What? Drive away the monsters?" Bai Hao was completely stunned.
What does this have to do with him?
Moreover, even if it's just about driving away demonic beasts, why send him when there are so many capable people in the sect?
"Well, it's not that I can't go, but as you know, Elder, I'm responsible for cooking for the Sect Master every day. If I go, there will be no one to cook for the Sect Master," Bai Hao said awkwardly, while also bringing up Su Yuewan.
He believed this couldn't possibly be Su Yuewan's idea.
"So you've already learned to use the sect leader to intimidate me?" The elder's bark-like face immediately twisted.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just worried," Bai Hao quickly explained.
Although it is indeed the truth.
"Don't worry, I've already spoken with the sect leader, and she's agreed. Furthermore, helping Bailu Town drive away the demonic beasts is an agreement between us and them. From now on, we'll buy all grain from Bailu Town at half price. The condition is that we protect them from the demonic beasts," the Grand Elder explained.
Is there such an agreement?
"Enough with the nonsense, get ready immediately, and then hurry to the sect's main hall." The Grand Elder left these words behind and turned to leave.
After the Grand Elder left, Bai Hao scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Su Yuewan actually agreed to send me out? What was she thinking? Does she want to eat the food Xiaoping and Axiu cook?"
"I don't understand, I really don't understand."
In the end, Bai Hao still couldn't figure it out. After quickly washing up, he headed towards the sect's main hall.
The sect's main hall.
Besides the Grand Elder, Fan Ziming and Zheng Long were also here!
"Brother Bai, you're here." Fan Ziming greeted him warmly, but the young man Zheng Long beside him didn't give Bai Hao a friendly look.
"Hey, you little brat, you don't even call me 'senior brother'?" Bai Hao couldn't help but pinch Zheng Long's cheek.
Although this kid is already a teenager, his face is still like a child's, and it feels so soft and cuddly!
"I'm not a little kid!" Zheng Long said coldly, while stepping back to avoid Bai Hao's clutches.
"You still won't admit it? You're always sulking, what else are you but a little kid?" Bai Hao wanted to go up and pinch him.
At this moment, the Grand Elder finally spoke: "Alright, what's all this commotion?!"
Her drink completely silenced Bai Hao.
"Yes!" Bai Hao immediately stood at attention.
"Let me first explain the situation and their request to you. According to Elder Mu of Bailu Town, there are signs of some demonic beast activity around Bailu Town, but since there are no cultivators in Bailu Town, they want to seek our help."
"But since this is the first time, and it concerns the reputation of our Luo Hai Sect, we are sending the three of you. You must show the demeanor that our Luo Hai Sect should have, understand?" the Grand Elder said.
"yes!"
Fan Ziming and Zheng Long immediately responded loudly.
Only Bai Hao had a problem, weakly saying, "Well, I absolutely support this. But if we're going to showcase the strength of our Falling Sea Sect, we should find the person with the best cultivation. I'm just a cook; I can't represent the sect."
"You are the eldest brother, shouldn't you go?" the elder asked rhetorically.
"But……"
"Alright, you were personally selected by the sect leader to go. If you have any questions, go find the sect leader." The Grand Elder's words directly dismissed all of Bai Hao's opinions.
“Okay…” he gave in.
Instead of telling him to go and demand an explanation from Su Yuewan, it would be safer to just follow her instructions.
"Alright, let's set off. When we get to Bailu Town, Elder Mu will be there to greet you. Just cooperate with him to find out what's going on." The First Elder waved his hand, shooing the three of them away.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Bai Hao looked at Fan Ziming on his left and Zheng Long on his right, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem, since it's the three of us going this time, and I'm the senior brother, it's only right that I take on the responsibility of leading the team. I just hope you can cooperate well in the subsequent missions."
"Don't worry, Brother Bai, if you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west!" Fan Ziming patted his chest and assured him.
Zheng Long snorted coldly and said, "I'll try my best."
"Alright, let's go!"
