Chapter 68 Too Evil
The waiter added, "But we have another spirit fish dish. It's spirit fish fillets stewed in a secret sauce. It's delicious. Would you like a plate?"
When You Tingchu heard this, he immediately said, "Waiter, stop breathing so hard! Bring us some of your signature dishes."
The waiter smiled and said, "It's all my fault, Master You, please wait a moment."
Fu Qingyun thought about what happened in the afternoon.
The master said to them with a look of disappointment, "You have been disciples for so many years, but you haven't even grasped the sword's meaning, and you still go out to play all day."
You Tingchu stiffened his neck and said, "You didn't teach us much. Look, our eldest brother's cultivation is even lower, he's only at the Core Formation stage!"
Feng Qingyi was so angry that he hit each of them on the forehead with a slap: "You keep talking about your senior brother every day. Your senior brother has overcome this hurdle. Just wait and see, he will surpass you at any time!"
Fu Qingyun covered her forehead and said, "Master, you should behave like a master. You can't vent your anger on others, right? And you're always hitting others. This is a bad habit!"
Seeing that the master was about to speak again, Fu Qingyun rushed to say, "Don't worry, although we may talk back, we will both pay attention to our cultivation and sword intent."
Seeing her master reaching out his hand again out of anger, she dodged and whispered, "Master, are you upset because you were rejected?"
You Tingchu seemed to understand something and said, "We will try our best to abduct Gu Liyue... but not bring her to Lingxiao Peak to be your disciple."
After hearing this, Feng Qingyi calmed down.
He knew that these two disciples and Nie Hengzhou knew Gu Liyue, and he didn't know what had happened to the first disciple who was holding him back these past two days and had disappeared. He could only start with these two disciples.
Finally, he looked at the two disciples and said, "You must earnestly follow through on what you said. Otherwise, I will punish you!"
The two of them nodded hurriedly before Feng Qingyi let them out. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Fu Qingyun came back to her senses and said to Gu Liyue, "Liyue, have you been practicing swordsmanship for a long time?"
Gu Liyue thought about it, and taking into account the time she had spent in the space, she said vaguely, "Several years."
Aunt Yu looked at Gu Liyue in surprise. She knew that Gu Liyue's progress in cultivation, swordsmanship, and alchemy was extremely fast, to the point of being shocking.
You can't attract too much attention. Before you have enough cultivation to protect yourself, you must keep a low profile. Aunt Yu can understand Gu Liyue.
You Tingchu's eyes widened, the shock evident in them. "Given your young age, even if it's been many years, it won't be too many. You're such a monster!"
Gu Liyue thought about it and felt that this was really hard to explain!
Perhaps it was because of the time travel, the accumulation of her soul in the previous life combined with the original owner's body with strong bloodline, which made her cultivation speed in this world of immortal cultivation too fast.
She could only come up with a plausible excuse: "When I couldn't practice cultivation before, I also practiced swordsmanship, but I didn't have spiritual power to use. When I was able to use spiritual power, I added spiritual power and I felt that I made rapid progress."
Aunt Yu seemed to be lost in thought. However, with the Madam being so talented, it was natural that Gu Liyue was also a genius. No matter what kind of performance she could achieve, she would not find it impossible.
At this time, the waiter came in and served the dishes.
There were eight dishes on the table, some meat and some vegetables. In the middle was a plate of fish slices, which were Lingyu slices, topped with a secret sauce. It looked delicious.
Gu Liyue smelled a special aroma, fragrant but not greasy, with a hint of burnt aroma, which seemed to be tempting to taste. She frowned slightly.
Seeing the waiter walk out of the private room, he closed the door.
Gu Liyue first took out a plate, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, placed it in front of Xiaoxuan, and then looked at Xiaoxuan carefully.
Xiao Xuan put his head close to the fish, then turned around and sent a message to Gu Liyue in his mind: "This fish tastes wrong, it seems like something bad was put in it, I won't eat it!"
She knew that the spirit beasts had a more sensitive sense of smell than a cultivator, and had a natural instinct to avoid poison.
Gu Liyue looked at You Tingchu and Fu Qingyun intently. The two of them didn't understand what was going on, so they put down their chopsticks and looked back.
Gu Liyue sent them a message: "There's something wrong with this fish or this secret sauce!"
"Huh, Liyue, what are you talking about?" You Tingchu looked at Xiaoxuan, who didn't eat fish, and then at Gu Liyue. The spiritual fish he'd been looking forward to for so long had something wrong with it. Could it be? It looked so delicious. "Is there really a problem?"
Fu Qingyun stared at Gu Liyue with eyes wide open.
"You know about the magic grass, right?"
Fu Qingyun replied, "Wasn't the God-Defying Grass considered a banned drug over a hundred years ago? How could it still appear here?"
Gu Liyue remembered that it was mentioned in the book "Spiritual Herbs and Alchemy".
Over a hundred years ago, the world of immortal cultivation discovered a magical herb that could increase a cultivator's chances of sudden enlightenment and advancement to a higher realm. It also increased explosive power and instantly boosted spiritual energy. This herb caused a sensation.
Later it was discovered that after taking it for half a month, one would become dependent on it and it would be difficult to quit. If this magical herb was purified, the efficacy would be even better, and one would become dependent on it in five days.
Addicted to the herb, it would damage the cultivator's spirit and even cause them to lose their sanity. After taking it for a month, they would become insane and uncontrollably kill people. Their bodies would then be unable to withstand the violent surge of spiritual energy, leading to their death. It was later classified as a banned drug.
At that time, Gu Liyue felt that this grass was a bit similar to the opium in her previous life! So she looked at it more carefully and remembered it very clearly.
Today, when I listened to You Tingchu introducing the spiritual fish, I thought of the magic grass.
She just tried it again with Xiaoxuan, and it seems to be almost correct, but she can only tell them her suspicions and ask them and the people from the college to investigate.
If it is just for business reasons, then it is fine.
However, this speculation is unlikely to hold true. Who would be willing to risk the wrath of the world just to earn a few more spirit stones? Being discovered could mean death!
There must be some other force that is trying to harm Qingxuan Academy. After all, only the elders, instructors, and direct disciples of Qingxuan City would eat such expensive food. They are trying to target the backbone of Qingxuan City!
You Tingchu wanted to call the waiter, but was stopped by Gu Liyue's eyes. If the boss had some big conspiracy, he might focus on their private room. Shouting it out would probably alert the enemy.
"I heard that the Second Elder is good at refining pills. Let's pack the fish meat back and have him verify it first. Let the First Elder and the others investigate!"
You Tingchu thought about it for a while, and then he thought more deeply, so he had to put the fish in a jade box and put it in the space ring.
Gu Liyue winked at them, then glanced at the door of the private room and called out, "Come on, come on, eat some food!"
Fu Qingyun understood and started eating the food seriously.
You Tingchu complained in his heart: How come when I was distracted, it seemed like you became the one treating me?
Gu Liyue put Xiaoxuan's plate away, took a new one, and picked up some more dishes for Xiaoxuan.
