Chapter 192 - Chapter 192: Chapter 192: The Return of Elder Bai and Elder Yu (2/2)
“A welcome feast for Elder Bai and Elder Yu—I am more than happy to do it.”
Lin Jing readily agreed.
“Right, Qing Ling,”
“Did you prepare the ingredients? I just arrived and didn’t prepare anything…”
“If you haven’t prepared, we can go together to get some now…”
Huang Qingling’s mouth quirked as she said,
“Don’t worry, I have prepared everything a long time ago…”
“Indeed…”
Lin Jing then thought of Huang Qingling’s foodie personality and said no more.
“Let’s go, then…”
With that, Huang Qingling led the way to the small courtyard.
Lin Jing followed Huang Qingling into the courtyard as well.
Once there, they didn’t enter the living room but turned directly into the kitchen.
Huang Qingling took out the purchased ingredients from her Storage Bag and then said to Lin Jing:
“The rest is up to you…”
“No rush, they have some matters to attend to and might arrive later.”
“Alright…”
Lin Jing nodded and began to get busy.
After a while, he had processed all the ingredients.
Then he looked up at the sky.
The orange-red twilight had already spread across the horizon.
It was already getting late.
And then he started playing the role of head chef…
Before he knew it, night had fallen.
By the time Lin Jing had served the last dish, both Elder Bai and Elder Yu had still not arrived…
Fortunately, these dishes could be directly enveloped with spiritual power to prevent the heat from escaping; he wasn’t worried about the food getting cold.
Afterward…
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling chatted idly, waiting for Elder Bai and Elder Yu.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock at the door.
“They’re here…”
Upon hearing the knock, Huang Qingling got up and made her way outside.
Lin Jing did the same, rising and following Huang Qingling.
They reached the courtyard entrance, and Huang Qingling reached out to open the door.
There they saw Elder Bai and Elder Yu.
Elder Bai looked the same as ever, but Elder Yu was different…
Elder Yu appeared younger than before, and the aura he exuded was worlds apart from the past.
No doubt…
This was the difference between a Golden Core Cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Previously, Elder Yu had just advanced to Golden Core and his realm was not yet stable, so it wasn’t very apparent.
Now, with time passed, Elder Yu’s realm had stabilized, making him seem like a different person.
Upon seeing them, Huang Qingling spoke up:
“Old Man Bai, Old Man Yu…”
“You’ve finally arrived; we’ve been waiting for you two for a long time…”
Meanwhile, Lin Jing greeted them with a clasped-hand salute, saying:
“Elder Bai…”
“Elder Yu…”
“You’re back…”
Elder Bai nodded at Lin Jing as usual.
And Elder Yu, smiling, said to Lin Jing:
“Lin lad, I’ve missed your cooking for such a long time…”
At this point, Huang Qingling spoke up to Elder Yu:
“Old Man Yu, while you’ve been outside…”
“All you thought about was Lin Jing’s cooking, and not me?”
Elder Yu chuckled and said:
“Of course, I missed you…”
“Really?” Huang Qingling eyed Elder Yu skeptically.
“Of course…”
Elder Yu said with a smile.
“I’ve even got a gift for you.”
“A gift?”
Huang Qingling’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Come on, let’s go inside and talk.”
“Yes, yes…”
Huang Qingling nodded repeatedly.
With that, the two of them guided Elder Bai and Elder Yu inside.
