Luohai Sect, Dining Hall.
The sect hadn't been this lively in a long time. Nearly a hundred disciples sat in the newly built dining hall, where ten long tables were set up, and the space felt quite spacious.
This dining hall was specially approved by Su Yuewan and built with an allocation of 100,000 gold coins. It can accommodate 150 people at the same time.
She probably knew this would happen.
...
Backyard, kitchen.
"Peel all the garlic cloves, chop the ginger, pick the vegetables, and cut the meat. Don't make me do all of these things."
Wearing an apron, Bai Hao moved around the kitchen with a serious expression, arranging the ingredients according to the recipes on the hastily prepared menus so that they could be cooked at any time.
Outside the courtyard, besides Xiaoping and Axiu, even the Grand Elder, Jiang Bai, Zheng Long, and Fan Ziming came to help—these were the few people who knew a little about cooking and wouldn't make things worse by helping.
Feeding over a hundred people would take Bai Hao an eternity to prepare by himself.
[Damn it, what's wrong with Su Yuewan all of a sudden? Making me cook for so many people by myself is one thing, but she didn't even tell me beforehand! Is she trying to kill me?!]
Even Bai Hao, who is usually very serious about cooking, couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Why curse in my heart instead of my mouth...? Because the culprit is sitting in a wicker chair outside, swaying back and forth every now and then, looking very relaxed and carefree.
This woman did it on purpose!
Hearing Bai Hao's inner curses, Su Yuewan wasn't angry at all; instead, she was quite happy.
Just as Bai Hao suspected, she was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
But in reality, it wasn't that I was in a difficult position; I just wanted to see him get his comeuppance.
Who told him to doze off on such a grand occasion as when he was personally instructing his disciples in cultivation?
Do you still consider her the sect leader?
If we don't punish them a little, what will become of them?
Moreover, Su Yuewan is now almost immune to Bai Hao's constant complaints and scolding. On the contrary, she feels happy to see Bai Hao so frustrated.
Yes, this feeling is really happy.
...
This was no longer just cooking; it was equivalent to preparing a banquet. Despite the heavy workload, Bai Hao did it diligently.
Not only because this was his first time hosting a banquet, but also because...
He couldn't afford to lose face in front of his junior brothers and sisters!
"ah--!"
...
Ten tables, five dishes per table for ten people, Bai Hao managed to prepare them all in just one hour!
When steaming hot, fragrant food is served, just the smell is enough to make your mouth water.
"Everyone, please start eating. Don't be shy," Bai Hao said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to feast. Many of the junior sisters were eating Bai Hao's cooking for the first time.
The feeling of that first bite completely stunned them!
"Wow! Senior Brother, your cooking is so delicious!"
"I cried, why is there such delicious food?"
"Senior brother, I love you!"
...
Bai Hao was very pleased with the heartfelt praise from his fellow junior sisters.
It seems like a lot of inappropriate comments are mixed in with these...
After looking around, Bai Hao realized that Su Yuewan wasn't there.
Even the Grand Elder and the others came out to eat, but she's nowhere to be seen?
"Strange, it was her again who asked me to prepare this banquet, but now she's nowhere to be seen."
Bai Hao muttered to himself, thinking that Su Yuewan should have appeared in the backyard in the end, so he walked towards the backyard.
When they reached the backyard, Su Yuewan was indeed still sitting in the wicker chair, swaying gently, her back view looking quite beautiful.
"Sect Master, dinner's ready. Why are you still here?" He walked over, and just as Bai Hao thought Su Yuewan might have some other request, he found her leaning against the rattan chair, her brows furrowed and her face pale, as if she were enduring immense pain.
Upon seeing Bai Hao, Su Yuewan opened her mouth with difficulty, but could not utter a word. She simply clutched her chest tightly.
"Sect Master, are you alright?!"
Bai Hao was startled and quickly went over, bending down to kneel in front of Su Yuewan. He immediately grabbed Su Yuewan's other hand to take her pulse, and his brows furrowed instantly.
"Why is the breathing so disordered? What happened?"
At this moment, the energy within Su Yuewan's body could only be described in one word: chaotic!
Her meridians were almost entirely disrupted by the disordered energy, leaving her extremely weak.
“It’s a mental block… Take me back to Thousand Spirit Peak, don’t let anyone else know…” Su Yuewan’s voice was very weak, but Bai Hao still heard it clearly.
"Okay, I'll take you back now!"
Bai Hao quickly planned a route for Su Yuewan and then walked from the other side of the backyard, bypassing the dining hall, and headed towards Thousand Spirit Peak.
On the way, Su Yuewan seemed to be in great pain, her brows furrowed and soft moans of pain escaping her lips.
Bai Hao had never seen her like this before.
She just mentioned mental disorder; could it be that her mental disorder has flared up?
But will that thing still flare up?
He was puzzled, but Su Yuewan's pain was real, so he didn't dare to speculate. Instead, he ran as fast as he could to Qianling Peak and arrived at Su Yuewan's courtyard, panting heavily.
“In my room… there is a cold jade bed…” Su Yuewan instructed Bai Hao again in a pained voice, this time her voice was so weak that it was almost silent.
Without a moment's delay, Bai Hao almost violently kicked open the few rooms that were there one by one. In the last room, he finally found Su Yuewan's bedroom, which contained a white jade bed that exuded a cold aura.
This must be the Jade Bed.
Bai Hao quickly placed Su Yuewan on the jade bed, then anxiously watched her condition.
"Now that's the Jade Bed, how are you feeling?"
Su Yuewan did not answer, but her expression softened considerably. She muttered incantations as if she were reciting a mental cultivation technique.
A short while later, her complexion improved significantly, her brows relaxed, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Sect Master, how are you feeling?" Bai Hao asked cautiously.
"I'm fine now, I just need to rest for a while." Su Yuewan's voice was still a little weak, but she had regained a lot of strength.
"That's good." Bai Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the edge of the bed.
"That really scared me to death! You said it was a mental disorder attack?"
Su Yuewan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, actually I haven't really broken through to the Supreme Realm. This mental barrier is blocking my final threshold, so not only have I not broken through, but I'm also entangled by the mental barrier and my meridians are damaged."
"Sect Master, you haven't broken through to the Supreme Realm?!"
Bai Hao feigned surprise.
Although he already knew, Su Yuewan was unaware that he knew.
"So, this Jade Bed is what you used to treat your mental disorder, Sect Master?" he asked cautiously.
