Chapter 156 - Free Meal! (2/2)

”Over 50 thousand years, and you are still that clueless regarding food? Haha! What a joke!”

”Hmph! It is you who hasn't seen the universe yet, once you experience what I did, you will understand that I'm right! Besides, I, your Master, am always right!”

”When was it that the words right and wrong got swapped? How come I didn't hear about it?”

Everyone looked at that and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even for Harj, that was definitely the first time he saw the Sect Master arguing to someone. Even Core Elders would only drop their heads and listen without saying a word! In fact, the Sect Master's words themselves could be regarded as gold! After all, he rarely talked to anyone when there wasn't a need for it.

But today, here he was, watching one of the most powerful existences in the universe in a word fight against a Foundation Establishment wisp because of... food! Since when the Sect Master had been so... talkative?

It wasn't before a full ten minutes of arguing that the Sect Master finally said.

”Hmph! Fine, I won't waste my time discussing with a kid like you anymore. Let's eat before it gets cold.”

Krune agreed with him.

”You finally said something decent. In the end, food is more important!”

Krune also sat down and kept eating.

Except for Harj, everyone else didn't know the Sect Master that well, so they just agreed that the man wasn't that scary as they thought. Krune didn't know when, but they had all sat down at some point and were eating while looking at the two of them performing a comic show.

Harj couldn't help but think.

'Just what is wrong with this group?'

Krune then remembered something.

”Oh, right! Harj, you haven't eaten yet, come and have a taste too. I made a lot of food, after all.”

Harj was already dizzy with everything that happened in front of him today that he didn't even care anymore. He simply sat on by the table as well and served himself. He then took a glance at the Sect Master to see if he would say anything, but the later didn't even notice his presence. He couldn't help but wonder.

'Just how many menial disciples had ever had the chance to have lunch with the Divine Path Sect's Sect Master on the same table?'

While they were eating, Krune turned his head in Lucio's direction and asked.

”By the way, old geezer. Why did you come here? Did you really come just to have a free meal?”

Lucio's spilled some of the soup on his mouth after hearing that.

”Who the hell came to have a free meal? Ah, forget it! I came here just to pass it to you.”

Lucio then took out a token and passed it to Krune.

”What is this?”

”This is my token. As long as you have it, it will be the same as if I was the one talking. As long as you use it in the Sect or in any of the Sect's Branches inside our territory, they will immediately recognize it and follow your orders. But remember not to use it for evil, or I will be the Devil himself when I catch you!”

Krune looked at the token but didn't think much about it. He prefers to rely on himself, so long as he doesn't really need it, he won't make use of the token.

After that, everyone just chatted as if nothing had happened. It could be said to be a Krune-effect, so much sh*t happens around him that Ao and the others had already developed some immunity.

The Sect master finished eating and then stod up.

”Alright! I finished what I came to do anyway, so I'm leaving now.”

Harj and the others paid their respects again. Lucio nodded and disappeared in thin air, but then, everyone heard his voice coming out of nowhere.

”Tomorrow, I want to barbecue!”

Krune's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but yell.

”You really did come for free food, didn't you?!”

But he got no answer in the end. Krune then sighed and said.

”Forget it, I won't waste my precious time thinking about him anymore.”

After that, Ao and the others showered Krune with questions about the Sect Master. Krune felt helpless with all of that but still answered anyway.

As for Harj, he already gave up thinking. He simply checked all the information he had in his communicator and left to finish the process of registering all of Krune's wisps and demon beasts.

Back at the Sect Master's residence, Lucio was talking with one of the protectors of the Sect. As a Sect Master, Lucio didn't have many friends, but this was definitely one of the few. His name was Ojilian Yun, someone he had known over 30 thousand years!

”That wisp is helpless! Does he even understand who he is talking to?! I will make him pay for it later on.”

Ojilian sighed and then asked.

”Then why don't you just send him back? It's not like anyone will question your decision anyway. You can say that he wasn't what you expected him to be, and no one will complain about it. He is, after all, a wisp.”

Lucio heard that but immediately declined.

”There is no need. If I do that, it will be the same as saying that I'm not capable enough to select a good seed. Where would my face as Sect Master go after that?”

Ojilian then shuddered his shoulders helplessly. But deep inside, he was laughing instead. There are very few who know the Sect Master as well as him, and he couldn't help but think.

'Hmph! Who do you think you are fooling? What a joke! Other than Falanea or me, who would ever dare to argue with you inside our Divine Path Sect? Only the ancestors, perhaps? But this is different, that wisp is nothing more than a kid. Haha! Simply put, he isn't just a well-behaved kid like anyone else would be, and that's what you like in him!'

Of course, he didn't say it loud to save some face for his idiot friend.
