None of the disciples in the Hall of Arhats' dining hall even bothered to greet Sky Origin. Only Su Zichen's heart skipped a beat. He walked over and said, "Senior Brother Sky Origin, why don't you sit with me? Martial Uncle Juecheng specially made poached chicken and braised pork knuckle. These are his specialties."
When they saw this, some of the disciples thought to themselves, They're all outstanding disciples of their generation. Why is there such a huge gap between us? Look at Senior Brother Yuanhai. Sky Origin is such a detestable person, but he still warmly invited him over.
Before, Su Zichen was a bit afraid of Sky Origin, but after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't have to be so cautious.
Even if Sky Origin felt that something was wrong, it was just his own feelings. There was no proof. Why did he have to be so cautious? He might as well just act like he did now.
In response to Su Zichen's invitation, Sky Origin only paused for a moment, then sat down and started eating.
During that time, neither of them said a single word, but Su Zichen still felt awkward.
He'd been a Shadow Guard for so many years, and there were very few people he couldn't see through. Sky Origin was one of them.
After eating, Su Zichen first returned to his meditation room. When it was about time, he brought the "spiritual medicine" Su Xin had given him to kill people to the kitchen.
Of course, Su Zichen had also processed the spiritual medicine and hidden it within the pills distributed by the Shaolin Temple. Hiding a pill within a pill was something Su Zichen had come up with on a whim. No one else could have guessed it.
Given Su Zichen's current status in the Shaolin Temple, no one would search his body. However, every step he took was like walking on thin ice. He couldn't afford to relax in the slightest.
Su Zichen carefully pushed open the door and entered the kitchen. Juecheng was busy at the stove. When he saw Su Zichen, he laughed, "Kid Yuanhai, wait a moment. The braised rabbit meat is stewing. As for roasted meat, it has to be roasted until the skin is crispy. Only then can it be called delicious. Be patient."
Su Zichen nodded, then glanced at the pile of ingredients in the kitchen. "Martial Uncle Juecheng, this is what we're using tonight? So many of them. "
Jue Cheng roasted the rabbit in his hands and said without turning his head, "That's right. We all practice martial arts, and you little brats eat more than the other. Of course, we have to prepare more. Otherwise, how can we practice if we don't have enough to eat?"
"What about the elders in the sect?"
Jue Cheng said, "The elders of the sect naturally have people specially prepare their meals for them. Some of the ingredients are even specially made. For example, the chicken is fed with herbs from a young age. Eating a chicken is like eating a medicinal pill. Other than me, have you seen any warrior of the 'Jue' generation come to the dining hall to eat?
However, Yuanhai boy, you're in the Divine Transformation Realm now. In fact, if you apply to the higher-ups for an independent canteen, they'll approve it for you. "
A strange expression appeared on Su Zichen's face. He reached into his pocket and grabbed the bottle of pills, "There's no need for that. I rather like eating with my senior and junior brothers. The more people there are, the better it is. What's more, for a genius like me, even if I eat radishes and cabbages every day, it won't affect my cultivation."
Jue Cheng laughed. "Yuanhai boy, your skin is really thick. You can even say such shameless things. But I have high hopes for you. You have talent, strength, and a good temperament. You can even joke around with a half-cripple like me. Don't judge me just because your cultivation isn't as high as Sky Kong's right now, but in the future, you will definitely go much further than he did."
Su Zichen agreed with a chuckle. At that moment, his heart was filled with anxiety over the fact that he was about to complete his mission. However, he had no idea that danger had already silently descended upon him.
When Su Zichen snuck out of his meditation room earlier, someone had already noticed him. That person was Sky Kong.
Sky Kong had always trusted his instincts. From the first time he saw Su Zichen, he felt that there was something off about Su Zichen.
Later on, he would inadvertently feel a trace of weak Devil Qi in the Shaolin Temple. This trace of Devil Qi was also concealed by the fluctuations of Buddhist Dharma. Moreover, it was not that strong, so even Xuan Ming, who was in the True Martial Realm, could not feel it. However, Yuan Kong could feel it. Furthermore, Yuan Kong was sure that this trace of Devil Qi came from Yuan Hai's meditation room.
Over the past year, Sky Kong had come into contact with Yuanhai more than ten times. Every time, he could feel that Yuanhai was hiding something.
Especially the most recent time, he was even able to sense a trace of ghastly killing intent in Yuan Hai's eyes. Even though Yuan Hai denied it with all his might, Sky Kong was sure that Yuan Hai absolutely wanted to kill him at that time!
Thus, after lunch, Sky Kong had been secretly monitoring Su Zichen. His strength far surpassed Su Zichen's. Although they were both in the Soul Transformation Realm, Su Zichen might not be able to defeat Sky Kong at his peak.
When he saw Yuanhai sneaking out of his meditation room and heading to the kitchen, Sky Kong felt that something was off. That sense of danger pressed against his heart, so he decided to go find Xuan Ming to solve it.
Since Sky Kong was Xuan Ming's personal disciple, others had to go through many levels of communication to find the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ming. However, Sky Kong didn't have to.
When he saw Sky Kong, Xuan Ming said, "Sky Kong, what's the matter?"
Sky Kong said in a low voice, "Master, Yuanhai wants to harm Shaolin Temple. I hope you can act and stop him as soon as possible!"
As soon as he said this, Xuan Ming was a little dazed. At this time, Xuan Zhen and some other warriors of the Kong and Xuan generations were also together with Xuan Ming. They were all gathered together to discuss Martial Dao. After the crisis at the Shaolin Temple, the gap between the warriors of the Kong and Xuan generations had lessened. Now, they were all cultivating together. This way, they could help each other in their cultivation.
Xuan Zhen couldn't help but frown when he heard what Sky Kong said, "Sky Kong boy, what are you talking about? Why would Yuanhai want to harm Shaolin Temple for no reason?
Moreover, he's only a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm. Even if he wanted to harm someone, who could he harm? "
Xuan Zhen's personality was not suitable for accepting disciples, so he did not have a direct disciple in the Shaolin Temple. However, for the few young disciples in the Shaolin Temple, he preferred Yuan Hai, who was more flexible and changeable, rather than the dull and inflexible Yuan Kong in front of him. This was because Yuan Hai always reminded him of Xuan Ku, who he did not like very much.
Xuan Ming said in a low voice, "Sky Kong, the disciples of Shaolin Temple don't lie. It has been many years since the disciples of Shaolin Temple fought against each other. Do you know the consequences of lying? This isn't a joke. "
Sky Kong shook his head and said, "Master, I really didn't lie."
With that, Sky Kong told Xuan Ming about his speculations over the past year, as well as Yuan Hai's murderous intent toward him today and how he sneaked into the kitchen. Everyone present could not help but fall into deep thought. However, they did not believe what Sky Kong said.
Xuan Zhen directly said, "What you said is just your speculation. Why didn't I feel any demonic qi?
Also, what you said about murderous intent is only your side of the story. It's not that the masters of Shaolin Temple don't want to believe you, but there is no evidence at all for what you said. How can we believe you? "
The other cultivators present also nodded their heads. What Xuan Zhen had said was exactly what they were thinking. In fact, although Sky Kong had said so much, it seemed to be very reasonable, but in reality, most of it was just his own thoughts. There was no evidence at all.
It was not like anyone could be suspicious just because Sky Kong said so, right? What about the laws of Shaolin Temple?
Seeing that everyone present did not believe him, Sky Kong could not help but frown. He was anxious. If he delayed any longer, his speculation would probably come true.
As such, Sky Kong immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Master, Yuan Hai is in the kitchen right now. You will know once you come with me.
Although Yuan Hai is only in the Divine Transformation Realm, the kitchen is the weakest part of Shaolin Temple.
If Yuan Hai poisoned the food in the kitchen, it would be an unimaginable disaster for our Shaolin Temple! "
The expressions of Xuan Ming and the others suddenly changed. They never thought that what Sky Kong said would happen. After all, everyone in Shaolin Temple was on their side. Without outsiders attacking Shaolin Temple, who would dare to do such a crazy thing?
However, it was better to be safe than sorry. If such a thing really did happen, then almost none of the young disciples in Shaolin Temple would be able to escape. That would be a true disaster for Shaolin Temple!
Hence, even though everyone was still a little doubtful of Yuan Kong's words, Xuan Ming immediately said, "In that case, let's head to the kitchen to take a look and see if things are really as Yuan Kong said."
Just like that, Xuan Ming led the group outside the kitchen while concealing their auras. Given Juecheng and Su Zichen's cultivation, they had no way of detecting Xuan Ming and the others.
Just as Su Zichen took out the pill bottle, Xuan Ming and the others pushed open the door and entered. When they saw Su Zichen standing there with a pill bottle in his hand, Xuan Ming's face instantly contorted in fury, "Yuan Hai! Shaolin Temple has treated you well, yet you want to harm Shaolin Temple? Tell me! Who sent you here? "
Su Zichen suppressed his panic and shock, then put on a surprised expression, "Abbot, what are you talking about? How could I harm Shaolin Temple? If the Shaolin Temple hadn't taken me in, I, Yuan Hai, would have long been killed by Su Xin's secret guards. How could I do such a thing that's worse than a beast! "
Xuan Ming's expression darkened, "If you didn't want to harm Shaolin Temple, then why were you in the kitchen when it's already past mealtime? You snuck out of the meditation room, then entered the kitchen. Sky Kong saw everything! "
