Chapter 831: Personally Rewarded
“What are we going to Green Jade Lake for?” Ling Chuxi asked, baffled.
“You’ll know when we get there,” Lan Xinyu said mysteriously, silently complaining about Ling Chuxi’s terrible naming skills. ‘Little White, Little Red, Green Jade Lake? You can’t just name things by how they look, there should at least be some poetic meaning behind it!’ She didn’t dare to say it out loud though. If anyone dared to question the great and wise Lord Sect Master of the Golden Pill Sect, their ending would be miserable, so Lan Xinyu and the others were forced to keep their complaints to themselves.
When she ran to the side of Green Jade Lake, Ling Chuxi was stunned to see a big crowd gathered there. What was going on?! They had weapons in their hands, but they were not swords—they were fishing rods, wires, shelves, firewood and other such things! When the crowd realized Ling Chuxi had arrived, their eyes lit up in delight.
“Sect Master, I’ve been waiting for you for so long!”
“Sect Master, you’re here at last!”
“We need our reward, Sect Master!”
“Yes! Yesterday I was number one, so I am the first!”
What was going on? Ling Chuxi stared at these people whose eyes were practically glowing green. Why were they looking at her as if she was food? What did those burning looks mean?
“Didn’t someone come to tear down the place?” Ling Chuxi asked weakly.
“Tear down the place? What do you mean?” Lan Xinyu asked, frowning in confusion.
“I thought someone came to provoke us or conquer this area...” Ling Chuxi tried to explain feebly.
“Oh, so that’s what it is! Hahaha, that’s a good phrase! When the Golden Pill Sect is strong, I will become its main protector, and take people to other sects to tear down their places.” Lan Xinyu laughed proudly, so immersed in her own grandiose delusions that she forgot about Ling Chuxi’s question.
“It’s like this, Lord Sect Master...” Su Yizhi walked up with a pleasant smile.
The words ‘Lord Sect Master’ made Ling Chuxi tremble. Seeing Su Yizhi smile like an old fox, Ling Chuxi thought that he was definitely up to no good.
As expected, Su Yizhi asked with an innocent smile, “Yesterday was the first martial arts contest since the rebuilding of the Golden Pill Sect, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Ling Chuxi thought and nodded slowly. Although there wasn’t a formal ceremony for the rebuilding of the Golden Pill Sect, yesterday was still its first martial arts contest.
“So... we decided to offer up a memorable reward. Since it was our first competition here, we just had to make it unforgettable,” Su Yizhi continued.
“Alright...” Ling Chuxi nodded, looking at Su Yizhi suspiciously.
“Thus, we decided that the reward should be personally made by Lord Sect Master!” Su Yizhi smiled widely. “I heard that Lord Sect Master’s cooking skills are first-class, so what do you think about rewarding the top three yesterday with freshly roasted fish personally made by Lord Sect Master?”
The corner of Ling Chuxi’s mouth twitched, and she glanced at Lan Xinyu with narrowed eyes. Lan Xinyu instantly hid herself in the crowd.
This idea had to have come from those who had tasted Ling Chuxi’s cooking, and besides Baili Han and Ling Yichen, who else could have come up with such an idea?
“Chuxi, I feel like everyone has been working really hard recently, so it was my idea to let everyone relax today. It’s also good for everyone to gather and have fun together sometimes,” Su Yizhi said with a warm smile. Ling Chuxi was now the mainstay of all the disciples, so everyone gathering together once in a while would be good. Su Yizhi understood this very clearly.
