Mu Yu understood. He looked around and patiently said to Zhu Yi, "Those who do wrong should apologize. They actively provoked trouble, so they should also reflect on their actions and make amends."
"We need to discuss the matter of posting the sect notice with the sect leader and Uncle Hanbai. Please be patient, junior sisters."
Mu Yu gave Shu Chen a look, and Shu Chen understood. She then raised her voice and said, "Six junior sisters, go to the Cliff of Repentance tonight. You'll be repenting for half a year. It's better to go sooner and come back sooner."
"The matter has been settled today. Fellow disciples should live in harmony and help each other. In the future, if anyone bullies others by taking advantage of their power, or spreads rumors and lies, we will not let them off lightly."
Shu Chen stood in front of the crowd and loudly admonished the disciples of the Fu Sect. He was dignified and composed, as if he was not affected by the fact that he was the one who triggered the bullying incident.
Although he was not the most outstanding disciple among his peers in the Fu Sect, he was upright in his conduct, kind in his character, and diligent in his cultivation, which earned him the deep affection of True Person Hanbai.
Master Hanbai was grooming him to be the next successor of the Fu Sect, just as Sect Leader Hansong was grooming Mu Yu to be the next sect leader.
As for Zhu Yi, she is the only direct disciple of Master Yujing, so it is clear that she will inherit Peach Mountain in the future.
Punishment was a foregone conclusion. The six female cultivators were taken to the Cliff of Repentance by the other disciples of the Talisman Sect. Before leaving, they glared fiercely at Zhu Yi, imprinting the hateful image of this woman into their minds!
Lanxiang was furious inside. Tonight was so humiliating! She would make Zhu Yi and the other two pay for it sooner or later!
The crowd dispersed, and Zhu Yi thanked Mu Yu and Shu Chen before taking her leave.
Mu Yu, contrary to his usual demeanor, jokingly asked, "Since this is a thank you, Junior Sister Zhu Yi, do you have a gift to express your gratitude?"
Zhu Yi's face darkened, and she stopped in her tracks, pulling Xue Shan and Wei Wei along... This person is too honest.
She didn't have any suitable gifts prepared for men in her own storage bag, and the items in the red ring that Master Yujing gave her were all for girls...
She really couldn't offer Mu Yu anything substantial to thank him for his trip.
"Well, to be honest, Junior Sister doesn't really have any valuable gifts to offer as thanks right now. My barbecue is pretty good, so how about I cook it myself another day and invite Senior Brother to have a few drinks?" Zhu Yi's big, watery eyes were no longer filled with the resentment and arrogance from before, but instead showed a hint of caution.
Mu Yu thought this junior sister was really interesting. If it were any other female cultivator, they would probably have already catered to her preferences and immediately given her an expensive gift.
"It's alright. My junior sister mentioned when she was settling the compensation that you were planning to have some barbecue with your senior sisters tonight. There's no time like the present, let's do it tonight!"
Shu Chen felt that his usually taciturn and composed senior brother was acting strangely. Shouldn't he have gone to report this matter to the sect leader?
He's already fasted, so why is he still eating barbecue?
"Meow! You're so annoying! You've dragged this out until now. There were only two chickens prepared. It's one thing that Xiao Zhuyi insisted on inviting those two female cultivators, but female cultivators don't eat much, so I don't mind sharing a chicken leg with them. Why did you come along tonight to join in the fun!"
Zhao Cai, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore! Its tail stood up straight, and it really got angry!
We promised to have a barbecue yesterday, but we still haven't had it by tonight. Can't we at least let our cat have a proper meal?
Mu Yu didn't mind Zhao Cai's temper; Zhao Cai often got angry, so he got used to it.
"Junior Sister Zhaocai, don't worry, I brought my own food. Just ask Junior Sister Zhuyi to cook it." Mu Yu wasn't embarrassed at all. "Then I'll trouble Junior Brother Shuchen to buy some more food to take to Peach Blossom Cottage. The Sword Sect disciples will be back tonight, bringing back several Spirit Oxen from Zhongyou Mountain. They're very fresh..."
Shu Chen's gaze towards Mu Yu changed. What's wrong with Senior Brother?
Mu Yu patted Shu Chen's broad shoulder: "The junior sisters have been wronged because of you, so you should do something to help them..."
Before he could finish speaking, he sent a telepathic message to Shu Chen: "Senior brother didn't do anything tonight except deal with your romantic entanglements. You won't lose out by eating something from you, haha."
Shu Chen went to the Sword Sect to buy the Spirit Ox with a dark face. This kind of thing is not easy to hunt and sells quickly. He hoped he could make it in time when he went.
Zhu Yi glanced at the brass pocket watch; it was eight o'clock in the evening.
Looking up at the sky, she realized that everyone else was bringing their own ingredients. If she were to make an excuse not to barbecue for them, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?
After she started working in her previous life, she often worked overtime late into the night doing research, so it wouldn't be a bad thing for a few young people to get together for a barbecue.
Since the ugly ox is edible, Zhaocai certainly won't mind... It's a very understanding cat, after all!
At Peach Blossom Cottage, Mu Yu conscientiously used spiritual energy to start a fire and helped Zhu Yi kick the chicken. Zhu Yi easily prepared the seasonings on the stove.
Xue Shan and Wei Wei felt a little awkward. Senior Brother Mu Yu didn't let them help with the chores, so the two of them quietly tidied up the table on the other side and whittled bamboo skewers according to Zhu Yi's idea.
To be honest, it's also because Mu Yu always tests their homework with a stern face that they are a little afraid of him and subconsciously don't want to get too close to him.
This is easy to understand. Most students, when they go out to play during the holidays, will have their mood greatly affected if they run into their homeroom teacher.
Shu Chen was very efficient. Before long, he carried half a spirit ox on his shoulder and a basket of melons and fruits in his hand, and entered the Peach Grove Cottage in a hurry.
"When I went there, only half of the Spirit Ugly Ox was left, so I bought the whole thing." He walked into the small kitchen outside the courtyard, placed the Spirit Ugly Ox steadily next to Mu Yu, and then put the fruit basket on the rectangular table where Xue Shan and Wei Wei were.
The two of them silently began to break down the beef.
Zhu Yi watched with satisfaction as the two men worked diligently. She then took out some ready-made seasonings and soft drinks from the white jade lantern and hairpin's storage space.
She was a little stunned, looking at the basket of old-fashioned soda she had brought out—lychee flavor, sweet orange flavor, and they were all in glass bottles.
She suddenly realized that her time-travel journey wasn't so bad after all. At least she didn't lack anything materially. On the contrary, thanks to the spatial resources provided by the white jade lantern, she was able to use many modern gadgets. Even her soda was provided, which made her both amused and exasperated.
In comparison, she still misses her life in her previous life, because she doesn't really like drinking soda; she wants to drink milk tea and go fishing with her grandfather...
She rummaged through her storage space again, but couldn't find any milk tea ingredients, which left her a little disappointed.
After a while, the group sat around the charcoal fire and started a self-service barbecue.
Zhu Yi meant that she would marinate the meat, then extend the charcoal grill a bit, and everyone could grill whatever skewers they liked.
Of course, she was making the roasted lamb chops and steaks that everyone wanted to eat, and the barbecue prepared for Zhaocai was low in salt, which she also had to make herself.
The fragrant roasted meat sizzles with oil, accompanied by ginger, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns, and seasoned with fennel, licorice, and cumin. Of course, it also benefits from Zhu Yi's special beef powder and chili powder, all served with leafy greens and dipping sauce...
The spicy and enticing aroma of spices wafted from afar, mingling with the fragrance of half-grilled meat, instantly whetting the appetite. Several young cultivators, unfamiliar with the ways of the immortal world, were immediately impressed: "So Junior Sister's cooking skills are amazing!"
This is not their fault. The food in the cultivation world is mostly about preserving the original flavor and being light and simple, so it is prepared in a more casual manner and the seasonings are relatively simple.
Those who cultivate immortality usually practice fasting and don't study food much, so the food in the cultivation world is really not particularly good or delicious.
