Chapter 16 The Elders Also Came to Eat
Chu Ziming chuckled awkwardly when he saw his master's sharp gaze.
Elder Chengxuan said nothing, his gaze shifting downwards.
In one pot, small meatballs are tumbling around, while in another pot, steaming buns look like they've just come out of the pot.
"Hmm? These are steamed buns from the mortal realm? They're so well-made, much better looking than the ones I saw in the mortal world hundreds of years ago!"
I didn't expect that some of my disciples would be selling food this year; the food fair is getting more and more interesting every year.
Elder Huaiyuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Elder Chengxuan lowered his head and stared at the steamed bun.
Yun Ci blinked and picked up a steamed bun. "Elder, would you like one? We also have meatball soup here; it's delicious and warming."
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
Yun Ci actually recommended food for the sect's elders?
You should know that although Yun Ci's steamed buns and meatball soup are delicious, the elders have been fasting for thousands of years and would not eat them.
Upon seeing this, those who disliked Yun Ci revealed mocking expressions.
Do not overestimate your own capabilities.
Gu Yan frowned when he saw this.
Elder Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and was about to refuse.
Although it tastes fragrant, he no longer eats it.
At this moment, a disciple noticed that everyone's attention was on the elder, so he couldn't resist taking a bite of the hot bun in his hand, and a rich aroma immediately wafted out.
Thin skin, generous filling, and the meat filling inside is sizzling with hot broth.
The disciple took a bite and couldn't help but keep eating large mouthfuls, ignoring the burns he received.
As he was eating, he noticed that his surroundings had become quiet. When he looked up, he saw two elders watching him.
"!!!"
He almost choked to death for a moment.
Fearing the elder's wrath, he wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word.
Elder Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze.
"Alright, I haven't eaten anything for over a thousand years, and I really miss it. Please have a serving."
The surrounding disciples were extremely shocked.
The elder actually agreed?!
"Ok."
Yun Ci blinked.
Everyone gasped in shock; he had actually accepted the elder's spirit stones.
Elder Huaiyuan smiled and took out a spirit stone. "Here you go."
Yun Ci smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder."
As he spoke, he served Elder Huaiyuan a large bowl of meatball soup.
Ten steamed buns were also packed, five meat buns and five vegetarian buns.
After finishing her meal, Yun Ci turned to look at Elder Cheng Xuan, whose face was stern and unsmiling.
"Elder Chengxuan, would you like one too?"
Elder Chengxuan hummed in agreement, "Come..."
"Oh, Yun Ci, don't bother asking my master, he doesn't eat it," Chu Zimo said, putting his arm around Yun Ci's shoulder.
Hehe, now his master should praise him for his quick thinking.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ci stopped serving the soup, blinked, and her starry eyes revealed a sly glint. "Then I won't serve it."
"Uh-huh."
Chu Ziming looked at Elder Chengxuan with a bright smile.
I expected to see my master's pleased face, but instead I met a pair of deep, dark eyes.
Chu Ziming was startled.
"Master, Master, what happened... Ouch! Ouch, ouch, Master, why did you hit me? Ouch..."
Chu Ziming covered the bump on his head, feeling wronged.
Elder Chengxuan snorted coldly and took out a spirit stone as well, "Make one."
Yun Ci took the spirit stone and put it into her storage bag, then nudged Chu Ziming next to her, "Put it in a bun."
Chu Ziming covered his head, looking aggrieved.
How could he have known that his master would suddenly want to eat this...?
He got scolded for bringing home braised pork that day...
Suddenly he remembered that night when he waited for his master to throw away the braised pork, so he went to pick it up, but he never got to see the discarded braised pork again.
The master probably ate it himself!
Chu Ziming looked shocked.
Suddenly, she noticed the smile on Yun Ci's lips. "Yun Ci, what are you smiling about?"
Yun Ci shook her head. "It's nothing, hurry up and get dressed."
After serving the soup, Yun Ci handed it to Elder Cheng Xuan.
Suddenly, he met Elder Chengxuan's all-knowing gaze.
Yun Ci, “…”
He forgot that he had just made a joke about the elder.
He was wrong. Elder Chengxuan wouldn't hold a grudge, would he?
Yun Ci was a little scared, so she tried to please Elder Cheng Xuan by serving him more meatballs.
Elder Chengxuan looked at Yun Ci's ingratiating smile and found himself not disliking him at all; in fact, he thought the young boy's eyes were clear.
Without saying anything, he accepted the meatball soup and steamed buns.
The disciples at the small table dared not sit next to the elder to eat, and all went to the side.
When Elder Chengxuan sat down, he saw Elder Huaiyuan's bowl, which was almost empty.
Elder Huaiyuan smiled and said, "This food is truly excellent."
Elder Chengxuan picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.

"I told you it was delicious. Look, even the elders love it."
An outer disciple stood to the side, holding a bowl of meatball soup, and spoke as he drank the soup.
"Can I join the queue now?"
"You can wait in line, the elders won't mind."
"Let's go! Let's get in line, or we won't get any."
"..."
Some people completely forgot Yun Ci's "viciousness" and lined up to try how delicious the steamed buns and meatball soup were.
As the queue grew longer, some female cultivators, seeing Yun Ci's youthful and adorable face, would even take the initiative to talk to her.
Yun Ci would respond even when he wasn't busy.
Many people have changed their opinion of Yun Ci.
"..."
"Senior brother, let's go and greet the two elders. After all, they are our elders," Wen Miao said softly.
Those two elders held extremely high status and reputation in the cultivation world, wielding considerable influence.
"Whatever, if Junior Brother wants to go, I'll go with you."
"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother Gu."
Elder Chengxuan scooped up a round meat bun with a spoon and put it in his mouth.
good to eat.
Elder Huaiyuan finished eating, though he wasn't quite done, but he couldn't bring himself to compete with the disciples for more.
"Greetings, Elder Huaiyuan; greetings, Elder Chengxuan." At this moment, a gentle voice came.
"Greetings, Elders," Gu Yan said.
Elder Huaiyuan looked up at the speaker, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and said in a friendly tone, "It's Wen Miao and Gu Yan, huh? You've come to set up a stall too?"
Elder Chengxuan nodded slightly in response.
Wen Miao nodded and smiled gently, "My senior brother and I have some treasures that we don't need anymore. We hope to sell them to fellow disciples who need them, otherwise it would be a waste for us to keep them in our hands."
Elder Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, "You're very kind."
Wen Miao smiled shyly upon hearing this, "It's all thanks to the Immortal Venerable's excellent teaching."
Elder Huaiyuan smiled but didn't say anything this time.
"Then I won't disturb you two elders any longer. This disciple will take my leave now." Wen Miao smiled gently.
"This disciple takes his leave." Gu Yan bowed his head.
"Yes, go ahead." Elder Huaiyuan watched Wen Miao and Gu Yan leave.
"Immortal Venerable Jiqing's little disciple has good talent, and his temperament... well, not bad either~"
*
Yun Ci made a total of 500 steamed buns and two huge bowls of meat filling.
Three hundred meat buns and two hundred vegetable buns.
These items sold out in less than an hour.
Because 100 extra meat buns were made, Yun Ci sold 15 meat buns for one spirit stone in the end.
"Everyone, there's no need to queue anymore. We're sold out of steamed buns and meatball soup for today. Come back tomorrow." Yun Ci wiped the counter with a cloth.
"Huh? It's gone? How could it be so fast? It hasn't even been an hour yet."
One of the disciples spoke with despair.
It'll be his turn soon.
"Yes, I've been queuing for ages, and they're sold out so quickly."
Many disciples were disappointed.
But there's no other way, I'll have to come tomorrow.
