Chapter 395 - 395: Plans To Keep Us Here For The Rest Of Our Lifes?
“The esteemed guests from Xuanyun Sect?” When the Chef Steward heard this, he noticed that there were three women and two men behind Qing Zhu.
At a single glance, the Chef Steward’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
He thought, “What kind of place was this Xuanyun Sect? Why were they either handsome men or beautiful women?”
“Elder Su, this is the Chef Steward of Tianji Sect’s kitchen. Chef Steward, this is Elder Su.” Qing Zhu hurriedly introduced them to each other.
Su Qian nodded in acknowledgment. Her phoenix eyes swept across the Chef Steward, nearly leaving him weak in the knees with her captivating gaze.
It was truly hard to fathom that the enchanting beauty before them was the renowned poison physician who struck fear into the hearts of all. The Chef Steward promptly bowed, “Greetings to all esteemed guests.”
“Chef Steward, I brought Elder Su and the others around the sect just now, and we’re quite hungry now. Are the meals for the disciples ready in the kitchen?” Qing Zhu asked with a light smile.
“They’re ready.” After the Chef Steward finished speaking, he said hesitantly, “However, we received orders from the uppers that I should deliver the meals prepared for the Elders. I’ve packed them and was about to deliver them.”
“No need. We’ll dine here in the dining hall today.” Su Qian knew the rules of Tianji Sect, and she also knew that the Elders enjoyed lavish meals daily.
However, yesterday’s roasted meat satisfied everyone’s desire to eat meat. They had no interest in meat these few days and only wanted to eat something light.
The Chef Steward couldn’t refuse and reluctantly led them to the dining hall and instructed his staff to serve them.
Realizing that he could simply take the meals out and then return them as they were, the Chef Steward decided to bring all the dishes out first and pour them back into each small container.
“Anyway, everyone is eating a big pot of food. No one has touched these dishes. It doesn’t hurt to pour them back so as not to waste them.” After saying that, the Chef Steward didn’t forget to use a spoon to mix the dishes evenly with the dishes in the container. Then, he ordered his staff to pack the dishes and send them to the Elders.
Meanwhile, as Su Qian and her group appeared in the dining hall, they successfully attracted everyone’s attention.
There was no need to mention the appearance of the few people from Xuanyun Sect, they were all handsome men and beautiful women. In addition, Qing Zhu was a rare sight as a handsome man. The combination of these individuals sitting together created a stunning tableau, and their remarkable appearances made it difficult for the other disciples to focus on their meals. Instead, they couldn’t help but admire the rare and beautiful sight before them.
Su Qian and her companions dined elegantly, ignoring the gazes of the people around them as they calmly ate.
Despite the simple food, their refined demeanor and graceful gestures gave off an air of sophistication. When the other disciples saw them, they suspected that they were actually eating some delicacies.
“Young Master Qing Zhu, we are extremely grateful for your thoughtful care. However, we are curious about when your Tianji Sect will finally complete their investigation and allow us to leave?” Yan Chen glanced at Qing Zhu and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing Yan Chen’s question, Qing Zhu’s action of picking up food couldn’t help but pause. He wore a slightly apologetic expression and said, “Regarding this matter, I’m not sure either. All I can do is ask for your patience and understanding for a few more days.”
“We are very grateful for Young Master Qing Zhu’s meticulous care. However, your Sect Master had not appeared for a long time. It seems that he has no intention of clearing my name anytime soon..” Su Qian continued eating calmly and said with a smile, “Or is it that the Tianji Sect truly plans to keep us here for the rest of our lives?”
