Chapter 156 - Free Meal! (1/2)

”You! You are a wisp?!”

Krune then reverted back to his human form and nodded.

”Yeap. So, of course, I won't use my own race for cultivation.”

Harj wondered if he was hallucinating.

'The Sect Master's first disciple is a wisp! How could that be?!'

But Harj soon came back to himself and took a deep breath.

”Alright, bring everyone forward for me to take their information.”

As unbelievable as it could be, there is no way that the Sect master doesn't know it, which means that he has a reason for that. Not to mention that since Krune took the first place in the Entrance Exam, he should at least have the necessary talent.

Harj then took everyone's information and was just about to leave when he suddenly started to smell something good. When he turned around to see what it was, he found that that wisp started to cook right there and then. Krune turned his head in his direction and said.

”Hey, come to taste my food too. You will definitely like it!”

At some point, everyone in Krune's house had already sat and were eating his food. As one can expect, Lofa helped him once more, so she was also serving it. Harj couldn't help but wonder just what kind of wisp is that.

”You know that you can ask any of the menial disciples in the sect o bring you any food you want, right?”

Krune then looked at him, excited!

”Really? Where is the kitchen? I'm going to pay a visit there later to learn more recipes!”

Harj mouths twitched. He didn't say that to send the Sect Master's disciple there to learn more recipes! Krune is a wisp to start with, shouldn't his entire focus be on cultivation alone? What if he runs out of life span?!

But it was at this moment that he saw a scene that he never expected to see in his life.

Krune was holding a piece of meat on a fork while he was looking at Harj. Suddenly, an old man who looked more like a beggar appeared by his side and ate it!

”Hum... Quite good, but I prefer saltier.”

Krune's heart almost stopped when he heard that voice, he then turned around and saw that his master was there chewing his meat! Yusa and the others also noticed the Sect Master and immediately got up to compliment him. Harj, of course, did the same. Although Lucio really looks like a beggar in those clothes, it doesn't mean that he is dirty. In fact, it would be hard to find a single spec of dust on him. It's just that his clothes... sigh.

”Paying respects to Sect Master.”

Lakin, Ruik and the other wisps and demon beast got a fright! Is that the Divine Path Sect's Sect master? Krune had already told them how he looked like, but they didn't believe him when Krune spoke about how he liked to dress. Of course, by watching the reaction of Yusa and everyone else, they were now sure that this beggar is who they are heard about. Everyone immediately complimented the beggar the same way as Arlan, Shinja, and the others.

Of course, everyone except for a single wisp...

Krune looked at his Master chewing his meat, and his eyes narrowed.

”You darn old geezer, that's my meat! Don't eat others'! I made a lot of food anyway, you could have simply asked for some!”

Stealing his food? Even GOD wouldn't be forgiven!

Everyone heard how Krune treated the Sect master, and their hearts almost pulled out through their mouths! Is that how you treat one of the most important existences in the entire western protectorate?! By the way, isn't he your master? Is it really okay to talk with him like that?

Harj's eyes, just like everyone else, were wide open! Except for the wisps without human form, of course. But they too felt like things turned out for worse. Harj even thought to himself.

'This Krune is done for!'

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Lucio didn't do anything.

”Is there a need to be this angry? It is just a piece of meat anyway. But since you offered, I will take some as well.”

Krune was still somewhat angry but decided to let it go.

”Hmph! Fine, looking at your starving appearance, it's easy to understand why you wanted it too.”

Krune then took a bowl and prepared one for his Master.

”Here. Ao is used to complain that I don't put enough salt, so I always prepare two dishes at the same time, one with more and one with less salt. This one should be to your taste.”

The Sect Master then took the bowl and tasted a little.

”Oh! This is much better, your friend is right, you should be able to enjoy this one much more.”

But Krune obviously didn't think the same.

”You are wrong! I don't know how you guys like so much salt in the food, it destroys the ingredients taste, after all.”

Lucio's eyes narrowed and said.

”Wrong! It is because there is more salt that the food becomes even more enjoyable. Your friend is right in adding more salt.”

Krune had gone through a heated discussion about this issue before with Ao, and just like the last time, it also happened with his master.

”Wrong! It's you two that are mistaken.”

Lucio's mouth twitched. Is that how someone should answer their master?

”I'm your master, so you should hear what I'm saying!”

Krune also didn't let it go.

”Who forced me to accept you in the first place? First of all, you are my Master in the path of cultivation, and it is obvious that your talent for food isn't the same!”

”How could you say that? Do you know just how many kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures your master had tasted in his 52370 years of life? How dare you question my taste for food?!”
