It had been over a day since the incident, and Luo Yuebai’s mind was still reeling with complex emotions. She couldn’t understand why things had escalated to this point.
Su Jingzhen hadn’t even come to apologize or explain himself, which only added to her frustration.
Although she wanted to confront Su Jingzhen again, she knew she couldn’t take matters into her own hands.
She had learned her lesson from the previous encounter. Moreover, she didn’t want to give Su Jingzhen another opportunity to take advantage of her.
In the meantime, the Evil Moon Sect had solidified its control over Linjiang City.
The sect’s execution power was often stronger than that of the so-called righteous cultivators. Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng’s orders were always carried out by the sect’s disciples.
Therefore, Luo Yuebai, the sect leader, has not had anything to do these days.
Luo Yuebai still stayed in her own courtyard and did not come out.
But Su Jingzhen still didn’t come to see her.
Time passed slowly, and the afternoon sun began to set.
Luo Yuebai was feeling bored and started to meditate, but her thoughts were interrupted by a voice outside her courtyard.
“Reporting to the sect leader, Qiuyue, a maid from the Chief Acolyte Su’s residence, requests an audience.”
The voice belonged to Mo Bei, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had interacted with Su Jingzhen before. Luo Yuebai’s expression changed to one of surprise, followed by a hint of concern.
“Why would a maid from Su Jingzhen come to see me? Has something happened to him?”
Luo Yuebai wondered.
She responded instinctively, “Let her in!”
Soon, Mo Bei and Qiuyue appeared in Luo Yuebai’s courtyard. Luo Yuebai stood in the center of the courtyard, while Qiuyue looked tense.
Luo Yuebai’s brow furrowed again as she saw Qiuyue’s expression. However, her tone remained calm, “What is it?”
To Qiuyue, the sect leader of the Evil Moon Sect was an intimidating figure. Being able to face her so closely was both terrifying and an honor.
“My… my young master said that he defeated a three-star demon beast on Clear Wind Mountain today and prepared a feast. He invites the sect leader to join him.”
Qiuyue spoke nervously, but Luo Yuebai’s expression was not as frightening as she had imagined.
Upon hearing Qiuyue’s words, Luo Yuebai’s brow furrowed again. She had not expected this to be the reason for the visit. Her heart felt a surge of anger.
For nearly two days, Su Jingzhen had not come to explain himself, but instead had gone to Clear Wind Mountain to hunt and prepare a feast.
Luo Yuebai’s mind flashed back to the delicious food Su Jingzhen had made before, and her taste buds began to stir.
However, she was not willing to visit Su Jingzhen’s residence so soon. She looked at Qiuyue and said, “Tell him to send a portion over. I have matters to attend to and won’t be leaving for now.”
Luo Yuebai’s tone remained calm, and Qiuyue and Mo Bei did not suspect anything.
After Luo Yuebai finished speaking, Mo Bei led Qiuyue away.
Qiuyue returned to Su Jingzhen’s kitchen and repeated Luo Yuebai’s words verbatim.
Su Jingzhen, who was cooking, smiled slightly as he heard the message.
His concerns dissipated, and he felt reassured about Luo Yuebai’s attitude.
If Luo Yuebai had been angry or upset about the previous incident, she would not have made such a request.
Su Jingzhen immediately prepared an exquisite food box, filling it with a generous portion of each dish, and had Qiuyue deliver it to Luo Yuebai.
Earlier that day, Su Jingzhen had spent half a day cooking and had gone to Clear Wind Mountain to hunt.
He had killed two demon beasts, a third rank Red Tiger Beast and a second rank Flowing Flame Eagle, using the Black Brick to test its abilities. As he had suspected, the demon beast cores were purified, becoming extremely pure.
This resolved a long-standing concern of his.
Su Jingzhen collected the demon beast cores and used the meat to prepare various dishes. After setting aside a portion for Luo Yuebai, he continued to enjoy his meal.
Since reaching the fourth layer of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo, Su Jingzhen’s appetite seemed to have increased.
He savored his food, and after setting aside portions for the six maids, he continued to eat with gusto.
Half an hour later, Su Jingzhen was full and satisfied.
After practicing a few rounds of Python Scale Power in his own courtyard to dissolve the blood energy in his flesh and blood, he went directly to the outside of the Evil Moon Sect.
The Awakening Spirit Tower has not yet been rebuilt in the Evil Moon Sect.
He hadn’t forgotten what Yan Xia had asked him to do two days ago.
In his opinion, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion should be able to help him with her Spirit Awakening.
He didn’t know that Feng Qingya had already returned to the Linjiang City Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
However, in his view, all Treasure Gathering Pavilions, regardless of which branch, should have received the message from Yunmeng City.
As long as he reported his name, whoever was in charge of the Linjiang City branch would probably give him some face.
He didn’t think it would be a big problem to get the information or method he wanted.
Just as Su Jingzhen was leaving the Evil Moon Sect, another Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived at Luo Yuebai’s courtyard.
Luo Yuebai had just finished eating the food Su Jingzhen had sent over and was looking very satisfied.
Regardless of whether it was on Earth or in the cultivation world, food was always able to bring people joy.
“Report to the Sect Master, Master Su has left the Evil Moon Sect,” said the cultivator. Seaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuebai’s eyebrows suddenly shot up.
She seemed to be displeased and said, “He is my Evil Moon Sect’s Chief Acolyte. Where he goes is his own business. Are you guys trying to monitor him?”
The cultivator who had come to report looked unhappy, but didn’t dare to say anything directly to Luo Yuebai.
The cultivator quickly opened his mouth and said, “I’m not daring. It’s just that the Sect Master instructed us to pay close attention to Master Su’s movements and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s movements for a while.
Today, Master Su left the Evil Moon Sect and is heading towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
I’m not daring not to report!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuebai’s face changed again.
“What did you say? Where did he go?”
