“This …”

Following Li Yang’s line of sight, the crowd noticed little egg-fried rice left.

“Junior Brother, please make some more. This is not enough for us to share.”

The fat man quickly said.

“I’m out of ingredients.”

Li Yang took out the bag containing the spiritual rice from under the stove and flipped it over. There was not a single grain of spiritual rice inside.

After noticing this scene, Jia Feiyu didn’t even think and immediately walked forward to raise the bowl. He then looked at the people behind him and said, ”

“Ahem.”

“My Junior brothers, you are still young. There is no need to rush your cultivation. I need to replenish my qi and blood. Can you let me have this bowl of rice? ”

“Senior brother! You’ve just broken through, so how could you possibly lack vitality? On the other hand, I’ve been cultivating the most, and it seems I’ve injured my meridians. If I don’t have enough to eat, this Junior brother’s future might be ruined!”

The fat man pitifully came over and also raised his bowl. The expression on his face was unprecedentedly firm!

“Nonsense! It’s just a bowl of rice; how can it replenish qi and blood? I’m the oldest among us, and my cultivation is the highest. As the boss, I usually care for you all, and I’ve never even frowned when I treat you to food and drinks. Do you want to snatch something from me now?”

“Don’t worry; senior brother won’t mistreat you after eating!”

Jia Feiyu flicked his sleeve and tried to intimidate them with the dignity of a senior brother.

“Senior brother! You’ve always treated us well, but we didn’t try to cheat you, right? When have we not put in our best for every mission?”

“Let’s not talk about the distant ones. Today’s patrol task was done by a few of us with all our hearts and soul. You just had to wait in the forest.”

“Even if we don’t have any credit for this, we should have put in some effort, right?”

“Senior brother, as the boss, are you going to fight with your younger brothers for a bowl of rice?”

The youngest disciple rushed over and shouted.

“Nonsense! Has senior brother been too indulgent with you guys? Now you even dare to talk back to me?”

Jia Feiyu gritted his teeth angrily and stared at the crowd, trying to use his eyes to make them back down.

“Senior brother, I’m not trying to argue with you. I want to eat something!”

“I’m still growing!”

“I was injured during my patrol just now, and my vitality is running low. If I don’t replenish it, my life will be ruined!”

“That’s right. I’m so tired today that I can’t even catch my breath. Senior brother, you can’t be like this.”

In the face of Jia Feiyu’s questioning, the other four people held their arguments and shouted righteously.

“Hmph, I’m going to eat this bowl of rice today. Even if the guardian elder comes, he won’t be able to stop me!”

As Jia Feiyu spoke, he was about to scoop some rice when a few others saw him and quickly stopped him.

The confrontation between words quickly escalated into a light action. The five people held the bowls and argued endlessly in the small kitchen. One after another, they talked and even got into a fighting stance. It looked like they were about to start fighting.

“Stop!”

Just as the atmosphere was getting tenser.

Li Yang, standing in front of the stove, frowned and snorted. “Senior brothers, I don’t like noise and have my own cooking rules. If you want to eat my food, follow my rules! First come, first served.

Don’t eat anymore if any of you senior brothers want to cause trouble here.”

With Li Yang’s words, the tense atmosphere in the kitchen immediately cooled down. Everyone immediately quieted down.

Jia Feiyu and Fatty, standing nearby, immediately put on a smiling face, afraid that Li Yang would find them too noisy if he found them unpleasant to the eye. If that happened, they would lose the chance to eat the last bowl of egg-fried rice!

Seeing that everyone had quieted down …

Only then did Li Yang remove an empty bowl and scoop the rice from the pot. Under everyone’s expectant gaze, he casually pointed to the door.

“Senior brothers, you don’t have to fight anymore. It seems like this egg-fried rice is already taken.”

Upon hearing Li Yang’s words, the few people in the kitchen were stunned. They quickly turned their heads and looked in the direction Li Yang was pointing.

He saw a tall and thin figure standing at the entrance of Li Yang’s house. He was wearing the Nine Planet Sect’s uniform and holding a few spirit coins with a smug expression in one hand.

“Fellow brothers, you were quarreling a little too fiercely just now. But please make way; I want this bowl of rice. We are all senior brothers of the Nine Planet Sect; why do we have to hurt our relationship over a bowl of rice when we’re outside?

Junior Brother, give me this bowl of rice. This is the money for the meal.”

Gao Quan entered the kitchen. As he spoke and placed the spirit coin before Li Yang.

Seeing Gao Quan’s action, Jia Feiyu and the others looked at each other. They had been so busy arguing that they had subconsciously ignored Zhao Gao Quan’s arrival.

“I’m done for; I’m done for. Why didn’t I consider paying in advance to settle this rice bowl? ”

The expression on Fatty’s face was close to despair. He held the bowl in his hand and leaned against the wall as if he had lost all his strength instantly.

“Ai …”

The others also heaved a long sigh. Thinking of Li Yang’s first come, first served rule, they were filled with regret and wanted to slap themselves.

Damn it, if they had known, why would he have snatched it just now? Wouldn’t it have been fine if everyone had a share? Now that outsiders had taken advantage of them, they could only watch helplessly!

Jia Feiyu was even more helpless. If it were any other disciple, as long as they were outer sect disciples, Jia Feiyu would not be afraid of them. He might even have to go up and argue with them.

However, if the person who came were someone with high authority, it would be a different story.

Back then, Gao Quan, an official disciple of the Nine Planet Sect, was stripped of his identity as an inner sect disciple after failing the assessment. He was then transferred back to the outer sect and took on the identity of a service disciple. After all, although Gao Quan’s cultivation was ordinary, Gao Quan’s background wasn’t typical.

As for the other service disciples, most were only in charge of cleaning, carrying heavy objects, and other menial tasks. Compared to registered disciples like Li Yang, they were even more lowly.

However, although Gao Quan was also a servant, he was the leader of all the servant disciples in the outer sect. He also had the power to distribute medicinal pills and other cultivation resources to the outer sect disciples.

Usually, even those outer sect disciples with elders in the inner sect were unwilling to offend those with high authority, let alone a wealthy family like Jia Feiyu.

After all, as the saying goes, the king of hell is better, but the little ghost is more challenging to deal with.

Except for a few outer sect disciples who could ignore the high power, the rest of the outer sect disciples only needed to get good resources.

Even if he had to live frugally and pinch his nose, he would still give Gao Quan all kinds of benefits when hungry, let alone snatch things from Gao Quan.

But!

He looked at the golden yellow egg-fried rice in the pot.

Jia Feiyu secretly clenched his fists.

It was okay if he was usually humble and tolerant, but this was today’s last bowl of rice.

He definitely couldn’t give up power.

Absolutely not!
