At the foot of Divine Sword Peak at dusk, the kitchen was bustling as the first batch of disciples had already arrived.

Even before entering the courtyard gate, the enticing aroma wafted through the air, instantly awakening their appetites and making their mouths water.

"So fragrant."

Rushing into the courtyard, they saw that the Mapo Tofu was already cooked and ready. Seeing a new dish, the disciples couldn't contain their excitement.

"Wow, a new dish."

"Great, great, Junior Brother Changqing is impressive."

Even though they hadn't tasted it yet, just the aroma alone was enough to make their fingers twitch with anticipation.

Without needing Ye Changqing to say anything, the disciples immediately prepared to queue up, only to be stunned by the sight of Xiao Bai already standing outside the kitchen.

"An Immortal Crane?"

How could there be an Immortal Crane here in the kitchen? And it seemed to be queuing up too. Was this a joke? An Immortal Crane queuing up?

"This is my pet beast. You can just call it Xiao Bai."

Ye Changqing poked his head out and said. Hearing this, the disciples were taken aback. Junior Brother Changqing actually had a pet beast? And it was an Immortal Crane.

Being menial disciples, they naturally didn't know the rarity of a Red-Crested Immortal Crane, but even an ordinary Immortal Crane was something beyond their reach.

For a moment, they were filled with envy, but with delicious food in front of them, they quickly snapped back to reality and lined up behind Xiao Bai.

Though the Immortal Crane was enviable, at this moment, nothing was more important than getting a meal.

As time passed, more and more disciples arrived at the kitchen. Upon seeing Xiao Bai, they were all momentarily stunned but quickly joined the queue obediently.

Lu Youyou, Liu Shuang, and Hongzun, the master-disciple trio, arrived almost simultaneously. When Hongzun arrived, the queue wasn't too long, but seeing more than a dozen disciples ahead, the old man couldn't help but curse.

"You little rascals, are you camping here? Don't you have tasks to do? How did you get here so early?"

"Peak Master, we finished our tasks early."

"Finished?"

Hearing that the disciples had completed their tasks before coming, Hongzun felt a bit frustrated.

Looking at the sky, it shouldn't be possible to finish so early. Did you all take some kind of pill?

Although the tasks of menial disciples weren't particularly heavy, they weren't light either. Based on past experience, it shouldn't be possible to finish them now, especially not for so many people.

Yet, these guys had all completed them, which could only mean their efficiency was ridiculously high.

Just by arriving a little late, he was beaten to it. Although Hongzun was displeased, he still obediently went to the end of the queue.

After all, he was the one who upheld these rules, and he couldn't bring himself to break them now.

But when Hongzun saw Xiao Bai at the front of the queue, he couldn't hold back.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's one thing for us to queue, but how did a beast get in here?"

Since when did beasts queue up at the kitchen? In response, a disciple explained.

"Peak Master, Junior Brother Changqing allowed it, saying Xiao Bai is also a member of our Divine Sword Peak."

Hearing this, Hongzun was speechless. Competing with people was one thing, but now he had to compete with a beast for food?

Xiao Bai paid no attention to the people behind him, his eyes fixed only on the two large bowls of Stir-Fried Pork and Mapo Tofu.

Not long after, Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang arrived, followed by Xu Jie, who had been following Lu Youyou.

"Hmm? The kitchen?"

Seeing the small courtyard and the long queue, Xu Jie was a bit stunned.

All the way here, the Junior Sister had rushed over. Was it really just to eat at the kitchen? And what was up with all these disciples? When did the kitchen become so crowded?

Feeling a bit confused, Xu Jie stopped hiding and walked straight into the courtyard.

But as soon as he entered, a disciple reminded him.

"Senior Brother, you have to queue for food."

Being reminded, Xu Jie was taken aback. Queue? Me?

A dignified direct disciple, having to queue for food at the kitchen? What a joke.

But before Xu Jie could speak, a familiar voice reached his ears.

"You ungrateful thing, if it weren't for me raising you from a young age, would you be where you are today? And you won't even switch places with me?"

Looking over, he saw Hongzun standing next to Xiao Bai, angrily scolding.

It turned out Hongzun wanted to switch places with Xiao Bai, which wasn't against the rules as long as the other party agreed.

Unfortunately, Hongzun overestimated his influence or underestimated Xiao Bai's determination to eat, and thus faced rejection.

No matter how much he tried to persuade or coerce, Xiao Bai refused to budge.

This left him fuming.

Seeing his master there, Xu Jie called out in surprise.

"Master?"

Hearing this, Hongzun turned to see Xu Jie, a look of confusion crossing his face. He then turned to Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang with a gaze that clearly carried a hint of blame and inquiry.

As if to say, did you two tell him? Wasn't this supposed to be a secret?

But under Hongzun's gaze, the two women were equally puzzled, wondering why Xu Jie was here.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing the two women seemingly unaware, Hongzun frowned and asked. In response, Xu Jie felt a wave of grievance. Did Master not want him here?

Despite being master and disciple, why did it feel like both Master and Junior Sister were keeping something from him? A sense of grievance welled up in his heart.

"I noticed Junior Sister seemed distracted these past few days and was worried, so..."

He explained pitifully. Hearing this, Hongzun immediately understood.

He shot a reproachful glance at Lu Youyou. You fool, can't even act properly. How did you get seen through so easily?

In response, Lu Youyou felt equally wronged. She really didn't do it on purpose.

But since they were already here, Hongzun couldn't say much more, only adding.

"If you want to eat, go queue at the back."

Queue again. But this time, it was his master saying it, so Xu Jie didn't dare to argue and obediently went to the end of the line.

Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, many new faces arrived one after another. These people had sensed something unusual and followed others here, mostly menial disciples.

But seeing the final destination was the kitchen, these menial disciples were puzzled.

So much excitement, they thought there was some urgent matter, but it was just to eat at the kitchen?

"These guys were in such a rush, just for this?"

"Seems like it."

"Nonsense, burning vitality just to eat at the kitchen, do you believe that?"

"Though it sounds exaggerated, it really smells amazing."

Someone caught the aroma of the dishes from the courtyard and couldn't help but be enchanted. Hearing this, the others also took deep breaths, indeed finding it fragrant.

Without much thought, they too joined the queue, making the line even longer.
