Chapter 284: Food Is Here, and so Is Master (1)

Don’t look so absurd! Look at how a mere steamed corn bread caused you to look so ravenous…

Qiao Mu dug around in her sack and took out a few flattened pieces of ruyi cake. These were given by the City Lord’s Estate, and she casually threw a few into her sack. Their appearances truly did not look too appetizing anymore and looked rather deformed.

“If you don’t care about its ugly appearance, you can have it.” Qiao Mu handed the ruyi cake to her cannonball senior sister.

Little cannonball turned flush red and swallowed her spit a few times before indignantly saying, “Keep it and eat it yourself! I won’t use my age to bully you and steal your food!”

Qiao Mu expressionlessly took her hands and placed the cake in her hands. “Take it! I still have a bunch! You’ve seriously impressed me. You’re all mystic cultivators who are at least level three, but why are you like…” Idiots! How did you starve yourselves to this point?!

—Darling Qiao Mu’s section break—

Holy Water Sect’s First Peak:

Different from the sect master’s simple bamboo forest, houses extended throughout First Peak in picturesque disorder with long, spiraling paths that led to pavilions and kiosks.

When Murong Xun first created First Peak, she spent quite a bit of time and energy to find several famous artisans and tormented them for quite a while.

Although she had beautiful scenery before her, the beauty herself was not happy.

Murong Xun had been bummed for several days. She should have left someone behind back then to directly bring her little disciple to her.

It had been so many days already and long passed the agreed date, but her little disciple was nowhere to be seen!

“Master!” Xu Shanshan’s aloof voice was heard outside of the pavilion.

“Yes?” Murong Xun listlessly replied and lightly leaped down from the top of the pavilion, landing in front of Xu Shanshan. “What is it?”

“The king of the Qiu Kingdom sent over five carriages of food, fabric, and other supplies. They’re waiting outside the gate.”

Xu Shanshan’s words elicited a frown from Murong Xun. “The king of the Qiu Kingdom? What do they want? Let’s go and see.”

By the time Murong Xun led Xu Shanshan and a few other disciples to the gate, the sect master with her cattail-leaf fan and Third Peak’s Junior Sister Lu had already arrived.

The sect master was cheerfully having people to accept the king of the Qiu Kingdom’s gift while repeatedly saying, “How could I accept this? This is so kind of the king.”

Murong Xun’s lips twitched. She went up to intercept the disciples transporting the supplies and looked at the captain of the Qiu soldiers who escorted the supplies here. “What request do you have for the Holy Water Sect in exchange for so many supplies?”

The sect master’s friendly face instantly changed. “What? You have an objective for sending supplies here? And you want our sect to run an errand for you?”

Lu Yun: ‘…Don’t say anything, Master! This disciple’s head hurts the moment you speak!’

Murong Xun speechlessly glanced at the sect master. She plucked up the captain and dangled him in front of her before quietly shouting, “Tell me your objective now.”

The Qiu captain trembled and scrambled to kneel on the ground while bawling his eyes out. “T-this lowly servant is f-following His Majesty’s o-order to give an apology gift to Miss Qiao from the Holy Water Sect’s First Peak! T-this lowly servant has to p-personally hand it to Miss Qiao.”

His words were as clear as daylight, right?

It’s Miss Qiao from the Holy Water Sect’s First Peak!

Everyone present looked at each other, bewildered. The sect master, in particular, looked curiously at her eldest disciple. “Ah-Xun, you have a Miss Qiao on your First Peak?”

Just how awesome was she that she could make the old king of the Qiu Kingdom send so many apology gifts here?! Speaking of which, why was it an apology gift?

Murong Xun’s expression shifted successively. She felt something growing clear in her mind.

Xu Shanshan looked at the Qiu captain in shock. “What do you mean? My Little Junior Sister Qiao is here? She’s inside our sect right now???”
