The drunken conversation with Martial Uncle Ao Guanhai at the table faded away the next day as he woke up.
His Martial Uncle was still the optimistic Martial Uncle. His pair of dark face always hung with an optimistic and positive smile. Whenever he mentioned his Fifth Senior Sister, his face would always be as pious as a pilgrim. As for Wang Lu, he still couldn't have any positive impression of his Master.
However, that drunken conversation more or less left a shadow in Wang Lu's mind. After that, although Wang Lu was very resistant, he still recalled the details of his master's life in the past two years from time to time, trying to dig out evidence that she was a good person.
To be honest, Wang Wu was definitely not a bad person. At least, she had never done it, and there was no sign that she would do evil things. But other than that, this person was greedy, lustful, and had no moral integrity. No matter how he looked at her, she was far from the model senior sister in Martial Uncle Ao Guanhai's eyes. No, they were two completely opposite people.
So, how did his master leave such an unforgettable impression on Martial Uncle Ao Guanhai? Although this foreign race Elder was simple and honest, he was not a fool — how could he be an Elder of Spirit Sword Sect with the identity of a foreign race be a fool?
Although according to Martial Uncle Guanhai, he had received great kindness from his master when he was young … but after nearly a hundred years, no matter how great the kindness was, it was definitely not the reason why Martial Uncle admired him so much. What's more, during this period, Martial Uncle Guanhai refined the sword pill for her, and other elixirs were also provided to her like water. No matter how many lives he saved, it was enough to repay the kindness. But he still acted like he owed her a lot … From this, it could be deduced that his master was fooling a fool … oh no, how brilliant was her communication skills?
If she could learn this trick, she could make the head of the school, the elder of training, and the elder in charge of punishment. Wouldn't she be free and unfettered in Lingjian School in the future?
With all kinds of fantasies, Wang Lu walked into the cafeteria of Misty Peak.
Because he freeloaded too much at the Ru Family Inn and ate three days' worth of food, Wang Lu had been temporarily blacklisted by little Ling 'Er. What was more hateful was that she also hung a sign at the door: Wang Lu and pigs are not allowed in!
Wang Lu was not happy at that time: "It's fine if you don't let me in, but why bother Wen Bao!?"
Without the free food from the Ru Family Inn, he could only come to the Misty Peak Cafeteria to experience the philosophy of life of the Western Chef. Following the previous "Thirteen Gangsters Look Up at the Starry Sky", this time, the blonde gourmet invented a dish called "Sword in the Stone". According to Wang Lu's observation, it was roughly a frozen fish that was inserted upside down into a pancake.
Other than pancakes and fish, can't you have something fresh!? "
While breaking the edge of the pancake, he swallowed it bit by bit with water. Wang Lu felt that he couldn't live on anymore … He couldn't help but hate his unscrupulous master who gave him a long-term meal ticket in Misty Peak. "Can't you save some wine money and get me a meal ticket in Carefree Peak?!"
However, halfway through his meal, Wang Lu suddenly found that it was a bit too quiet around him. Although the Misty Peak had never been popular, for various reasons, there would usually be three to five people in the cafeteria at noon. But today, how come he was the only one here?
Could it be that he was shocked by the Stone Sword?
Thinking of this, Wang Lu couldn't help but ask, "Where the hell are all the people?"
Then, he heard a clear female voice, "Everyone went to Four Divisions Peak, just an hour ago."
Wang Lu turned his head and saw the Western Gourmet helplessly standing at the entrance of the kitchen. Apparently, she was sad about the deserted scene.
Different from the general impression of a chef, this Western Gourmet didn't have a big head and thick neck, nor did she have a big waist and fat belly. Instead, she was a petite but beautiful girl. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, but her pair of green eyes carried the vicissitudes of life that didn't belong to her age.
This chef was by no means an ordinary chef. To be able to travel thousands of miles from the Western Continent, this girl obviously had a lot of stories. Moreover, it could be seen from one point: What she did in the Misty Peak Cafeteria caused the wrath of the Heavens and the resentment of the people, yet the Elders didn't respond to the call to expel her from the mountain. However, Wang Lu never inquired about this gossip. In the words of a professional adventurer...
Don't randomly accept tasks that you shouldn't accept, and don't trigger side tasks that you shouldn't trigger.
Therefore, he just followed the girl's topic and asked, "Why did you go to Four Divisions Peak?"
"It seems that the Fifth Elder has returned to the mountain."
Wang Lu was stunned, thinking, "Master has returned to the mountain!? That's pretty fast! "
Then the next question was, "If that guy has returned to the mountain, then she has returned to the mountain. How could she attract the attention of tens of thousands of people? Is her popularity that good? If it was Hua Yun, it would still be okay. "
The young chef girl said, "It seems that she has caused some trouble and was chased to the front door."
Puff! Sure enough!
Although he had already expected this, out of humanitarian concern, Wang Lu still weakly asked, "… What trouble did she cause? Did she make a local girl pregnant and was forced to marry by the other party's father? "
The young chef girl shook her head. "This is not clear. I just heard other people talking about it when they were eating. It seems that the Fifth Elder is being interrogated by the other Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall …"
"Ai, this is really a happy occasion."
Wang Lu said and tore a piece of cake. After eating and drinking, he was ready to go to the Four Divisions Peak to watch the condemnation.
However, after the young chef girl provided the information, she didn't immediately return to the kitchen. Instead, she frowned and said, "I remember, you are the disciple of the Fifth Elder? Something happened to your Master, aren't you worried? "
Wang Lu thought for a moment. "I'm only worried that the Elders will give face to her fellow disciples and give her a way out … If we can take this opportunity to correct her twisted character and help her reconstruct her personality, I believe that it will greatly improve the average style of the entire Immortal Cultivation World."
These words were a little long, and the foreign race girl had some difficulty listening to them. After a while, her delicate eyebrows furrowed even deeper. "You hate your Master?"
Wang Lu seriously thought for a moment. "From a personal point of view, I actually admire her shamelessness. But as a person of society, considering the general moral level of the public, I have no choice but to firmly despise her."
"… Sorry, I don't quite understand." The young girl's green eyes were filled with calmness and sincerity. "But I think that you have a serious misunderstanding about your Master. I have met Wang Wu many times. She is a real swordsman with an iron will and character. Such a person is not a bad person. "
Wang Lu was shocked on the spot. This Western Continent chef didn't taste her own food and then became delirious, right? Or does she have the same shortsightedness as the Sect Leader? A real swordsman? An iron will? Who is she talking about!?
The young girl further explained, "I used to be the King … That, in short, I have dealt with a lot of excellent knights, and I know how to distinguish a person's temperament. Believe me, your Master is a very good cultivator."
Wang Lu sighed.
You, a Western Continent chef who can't even distinguish between soy sauce and vinegar, have the nerve to say that you know how to distinguish? Anyone who bought a long-term meal ticket from your family would probably become a good person with excellent character.
— — —
That being said …
However, when Wang Lu left the Misty Peak and headed toward the Four Divisions Peak, the doubts in his heart inevitably increased.
If it was only that green-eyed chef's words, Wang Lu would just regard her as a retard. However, combined with the Seventh Elder's words, Wang Lu couldn't help but hesitate: Could it be that there is really something wrong with that guy's character? Tsk, if there is a chance in the future, I have to use a magnifying glass to observe her. But for now, it's better to go to the Four Divisions Peak and watch the fun first.
Along the way to the Four Divisions Peak, from time to time, he could see the senior brothers and sisters of the sect gathering at the Four Divisions Peak from all directions. Obviously, they were all gossipers. Moreover, they obviously haven't arrived at the scene yet, but as they walked, they already began to talk and spread all kinds of gossip.
And the rumors that he heard along the way made Wang Lu frown.
A disciple of the Carefree Peak who had been in the sect for about fifteen years asked, "I heard that this time, the Fifth Elder offended someone again?"
Next to him was another senior disciple of the Carefree Peak, so he obviously had more sources of gossip. "Yes, I heard that it was an Elder of a big sect, and he was very aggressive."
"… Fifth Elder, I usually don't have much contact with her. Senior Brother, you should know more about her. What kind of person is she?"
That senior disciple hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, "I also don't know much about her, but it is said that among the Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall, other than the Seventh Elder who has a good relationship with her, the others all have a deep hatred for her."
The young disciple was a little surprised. "Deep hatred? It can't be that serious, right? "
"Sigh, it really doesn't seem that serious. It is said that the ten Elders have all survived a catastrophe that happened a hundred years ago, so of course they have to give each other some face. However, as far as I know, the Second Elder and the Third Elder have always been impeaching the Fifth Elder, hoping to expel her from the Heavenly Sword Hall!"
"So serious?!" The young disciple was surprised. "Is it because of her cultivation? Speaking of which, among the ten Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall, only she has a King Pill cultivation! "
Speaking of this, the young disciple hesitated and said, "But it is said that she is a famous master of defense."
The senior disciple sneered. "So what if she is a master of defense? She is just a King Pill cultivator. No matter how good she is at defense, can she withstand a blow from a Yuanying cultivator? She is probably bragging, otherwise, how can she have a sense of existence in the Sect? Now, there are several Inner Court disciples who have reached the King Pill realm. As an Elder, does she have the nerve to do that? "
The young disciple was stunned for a while. "Senior Brother, your words are a bit too absolute. Didn't Master often say that cultivation is not absolute? In the Immortal Cultivation World, cross-stage challenges happen from time to time …"
The senior disciple shook his head and said, "Cultivators with natural spiritual roots fight cultivators with man-made spiritual roots, ancient sects fight ordinary sects, heavenly spiritual roots fight five elements spiritual roots … Indeed, cross-stage challenges can be successful, but take our Lingjian School as an example. Cultivators of ancient sects are all carefully selected disciples with excellent qualifications, and the cultivation methods they practice are all first-class in the world. There is no possibility of cross-stage challenges. If it were you, can you beat those Xudan Stage senior brothers?"
"This … is indeed hopeless."
"That's why it's impossible for the elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall to surpass their realms. A Gold Core is a Gold Core, there's no way they can be compared to the other elders. Moreover, it's not just because of their cultivation … it seems like there's also a problem with their character. You see, our elders often go out to travel, but only she causes trouble every few days. Only she has been formally impeached by the Third Elder — don't look at how the Third Elder is very strict with the Sect's rules, but generally, when it comes to the final punishment, he will be lenient. "
The young disciple was suddenly speechless. After a while, he said, "Then, Senior Brother, what do you think will happen this time?"
"How would I know? I am also rushing to the Four Divisions Peak, but I really don't think so … "
The two Carefree Peak disciples were flying on their flying swords, so they didn't notice that the content of their conversation had been heard word for word by a Successor Disciple who was walking below.
After listening to them, Wang Lu's heart was indeed in a bad mood. Although he often didn't like his Master, but … alas, they were all residents of Non-Phase Peak, if one fell, all fell. If the Fifth Elder's name fell, how good could his end be?
Therefore … although the Seventh Elder and the Western chef's words were typical of the minority, subjectively, he would rather believe the two people's words.
Master, please be a good person!
