AST 2204 - Chief Senior Disciple of Taiqing Immortal Palace (1/2)

Qing Shui was contented with the effect of the Heavenly Magic Stars and kept his demonic beasts. He then said to Beihuang Fan, “Let's go back.”

Both of them returned to the Imperial Cuisine Hall once again.

Now, the Imperial Cuisine Hall had been fully passed over to Zhang Yue. In the case of unresolved issues, Qing Shui would deal with them. The current Imperial Cuisine Hall was more holistic—treating a range of illnesses, some of them of chronic nature, instead of only the incurable kind. Hence, the Imperial Cuisine Hall was very busy throughout the day.

As for the medicinal cuisine, it adhered to the same rule. Those dishes were invaluable.

There were a lot of rich men, but they had no other choice but to cope with Qing Shui's extraordinary rules. Some of them tried to force Qing Shui to cook via violence but they ended up failing miserably.

When they found out that they had underestimated Qing Shui's identity and that he had defeated the Lord of the Blazing Fire Immortal Palace, nobody came for trouble anymore.

Plus, the Taiyi Immortal Palace and the Divine Palace were strong and many wished to get closer with them. Previously, the Taiyi Immortal Palace and the Divine Palace were also strong, but there were a lot of people who were even stronger and did not take them seriously. Now, they were trying to befriend the Divine Palace and the Taiyi Immortal Palace.

These were all because of Qing Shui. He had given hope and pressure to others. Since the Divine Palace would become powerful in the future, they had to take quick actions before that happened. Unfortunately, they did not know that it was already too late.

Qing Shui ignored all of them. It was not an attitude problem of his, as he thought these people were nothing but trouble. It was easy to add recognition to someone successful, but it was tough to give assistance to someone in need. These people would never endure the pain together with you and they were only there for the money.

“Brother Qing Shui, you're really here!”

As Qing Shui was pondering in the Imperial Cuisine Hall, he heard a loud voice. Several tens of men walked in. The leading one had big eyes and thick brows with a square face, looking very powerful. He looked at Qing Shui happily as if he had met a long-lost brother.

“You are?” Qing Shui asked dumbfoundedly. He was unsure if he knew this person since there was no one such as him in his ocean of consciousness. Hence, he asked the question.

“We are from the Taiqing Immortal Palace. We might not be close now but we will be close soon. Come, let me introduce. I'm the Senior Disciple of the Taiqing Immortal Palace—”

“Wait, wait,” Qing Shui interrupted immediately.

The leading man was slightly offended for being interrupted, but he paused.

“I'm very busy now, please leave,” Qing Shui asked them to leave.

“You... I'm the Chief Senior Disciple of the Taiqing Immortal Palace,” the man sounded annoyed.

“I don't know about the Taiqing Immortal Palace nor do I have any idea about the Chief Senior Disciple. I'm very busy now. I have no time to entertain you,” Qing Shui said unhappily.

This guy pretended to be close to him, but his expression instantly changed after listening to Qing Shui's unpleasant tone. Qing Shui disliked this kind of people from the very beginning and had absolutely no liking for him anymore. Qing Shui had never heard of the Taiqing Immortal Palace and he did not bother. Still, if the opponent sounded so excellent, the Taiqing Immortal Palace gave the impression of being strong.

“Alright, fine. I'm here to befriend you because I look highly upon you. Don't be ungrateful,” The man turned his embarrassment into anger.

Qing Shui smiled. He had been looking down on this guy the entire time. The standard of the Chief Senior Disciple of Taiqing Immortal Palace seemed to be too low.

In fact, the man also looked down on Qing Shui. He was mad at Qing Shui for being a snob with the little fame he earned. It seemed like Qing Shui was complacent for having a little money and getting flattered. Contrarily, the man felt like a richer man compared to Qing Shui. When Qing Shui acted boastfully in front of him, he got really irritated.

The only thing to worry about was Qing Shui's age. The man stopped being formal when he lost hope to become friends with Qing Shui.
