"Yeah, you just realized it now?" Luo Yunyi quickly set up the grill and glanced at Xue Ziping.
"I had some suspicions when you waved for the Daoist Child earlier, and then the whole way here, you were so calm. I thought about your surname, then hers, and suddenly understood. Wow, Miss Tian is the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect. This time I really felt like a toad lusting after a swan."
"Hmm?" Luo Yunyi turned to look at him.
"Your senior sister is a swan. Hehe, alright, I get it. I’m just daydreaming. But hey, it’s okay to dream a little, right?" Xue Ziping laughed sheepishly.
"You sure have a sense of self-awareness." Luo Yunyi cut slices of meat quickly and made a snarky comment.
"Always have. Hahaha, now I understand what you meant by saying I’m not worthy of your senior sister. Truly, no one in the world can match her." Xue Ziping helped wash the vegetables, occasionally sneaking a glance at Tianmiao sunbathing on a lounge chair.
"That’s true. Personally, I found you annoying at first. Later, I thought you were quite open-minded, a suitable acquaintance." Luo Yunyi said.
"Hehe, my personal charm isn’t bad, right?" Xue Ziping’s tail wagged in pride as he heard this, far from humility.
"I take back what I just said." Luo Yunyi said with a straight face.
"Hey, don’t say that. We cultivators must be pragmatic, or we’ll be plagued by heart demons." Xue Ziping hurriedly said, "By the way, what does your senior sister like to eat? Is it anything tasty?"
Luo Yunyi glanced at Xue Ziping again, sighing inwardly. This guy, despite being a bit of a brat with a questionable reputation, had a great character and keen observation skills. Most importantly, his mindset was unusually strong. The embarrassing scene when he was caught stark naked in front of them seemed completely forgotten by him.
"Yes." Luo Yunyi replied.
"Ugh, I don’t have your level of culinary skill. I only know alchemy. What should I brew? Oh, I could make some candies. They’re definitely different from what’s sold outside. I’ll work on it tonight." Xue Ziping rubbed his chin, thoughtfully considering.
"You..." Luo Yunyi looked at Xue Ziping who was seriously contemplating, recalling his mother’s words about sucking up like a puppy. As an alchemist and an unstoppable new talent in the alchemy world, using a pill furnace to make candy—it’s best not to let those old-fashioned alchemists know, or they’ll definitely criticize Xue Ziping for tarnishing the reputation of alchemists.
...
People from the Shanghe Sect also arrived, Liu Feihe and his senior brothers walking around, curiously observing everything, feeling overwhelmed by the sights.
Then they encountered Yan Rui and Luo Yunfei also wandering around.
"You again!" Liu Feihe glared at Yan Rui.
"Of course us." Yan Rui rolled her eyes, "I was about to say the same thing."
"Hmph!" Liu Feihe rolled his eyes as well, pulling the senior brother of the Shanghe Sect away, "Let’s go, don’t pay attention to this annoying person."
"Wait, I have something to tell you." Yan Rui suddenly called out to the people from the Shanghe Sect.
"What is it? Speak quickly, I’m in a decent mood right now, barely willing to listen to your nonsense." Liu Feihe turned around, arms crossed over his chest, lifted his head arrogantly.
