At first, they thought Yuanchu came to them because he had something to tell them. Later, they found out that it was not the case, but he just came to have dinner with them.

Then the five of them sat around the table, waiting for the food to be served.

According to Yuanchu's level of cultivation, she should have been practicing fasting long ago, and the most important thing for cultivators is to reduce their own desires.

The best requirement is to be pure-hearted and have few desires, and generally not be particular about worldly food.

Except for Gu Xi, none of the three of them had expected that Elder Yuan, whose cultivation was far higher than theirs, would actually sit together with the juniors like them and eat common food. This was quite surprising to them.

But only Gu Xi knew that the Master liked worldly food, and was particularly fond of the delicious food.

She had known this since she became his disciple, when she was at the foot of the mountain.

It was just that after I went up the mountain and before I started my fasting, my master would still cook some food for me. After I started my fasting, he would only make some snacks occasionally.

Feeling their somewhat incredulous gazes, Yuanchu asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Many cultivators will not easily eat worldly food after practicing fasting. We didn't expect that you would actually eat worldly food. We are very surprised." Wei Lingyu looked at them and expressed their common thoughts.

When Yuanchu first came here and took her little apprentice up the mountain, she was not impressed by the quality of the dishes made in the small kitchen in the backyard.

Considering that his little apprentice is growing, he would occasionally cook one or two meals himself.

But as time went by, she became lazy by nature, and her young disciple also started fasting, so she simply stopped doing it.

But now that we have come down the mountain, we can eat the ready-made food. In fact, Yuanchu was just salivating over the deliciousness of the dishes, in order to slightly satisfy her appetite, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

So she began to make up stories, "The universe has its own laws, and all things grow and run side by side without harming each other, which is unity. People who cultivate immortality only live a few hundred years in the human world. If they cultivate a pure heart and few desires in their lifetime, wouldn't it be a waste of a lot of wonderful time? Eating, drinking tea and even drinking are all normal human behaviors, so what's so surprising about that? Some people are willing to eat, while others are not, it's just a matter of personal choice."

At first glance, it sounded reasonable. Yuanchu couldn't help but admire her own ability to make up stories. She said so much in one breath that she felt her throat was dry.

After hearing what Yuanchu said, several people were a little bit unbelievable. Who was it that spread the rumor that the leader of Qingqi Peak was aloof, cold and unkind?

This was completely different from the rumors. They only knew a little about Yuanchu before in the mountain. Now, after hearing her words up close, the original impression of her in their minds was instantly shattered.

Obviously, he is very easy to get along with, and he doesn't have any airs as an elder. Several people now have a good impression of this elder Yuanchu.

Ye Wan said a little embarrassedly: "What you said makes sense, but the younger generations are too superficial."

Yuanchu breathed a sigh of relief. What she was thinking was: I finally got over it. If I had known, I would not have started that story. Help me, I almost can’t continue!

But she had a faint smile on her face: "These are just some of my personal thoughts, you can just listen to them and forget about them, it's not worth bringing them up in the open."

Then the dishes were served one by one, steaming hot, and the rich aroma of food filled the air and lingered around the nose.

Yuanchu's long-dormant taste buds were awakened in an instant. She really hadn't eaten the food down the mountain for a long time. She unconsciously slid her throat and thought it might be good to taste it.

The dishes were served one after another, and Yuan Chu saw several young girls sitting upright in their seats.

No one showed any intention of picking up their chopsticks, and she guessed that they were waiting for her to pick up their chopsticks first.

So she said, "Eat quickly. There's no need to be so restrained when you see me."

According to Yuanchu's age in modern times, she is in her twenties and is not much different from them, so she thinks that she is quite close to the girls and the generation gap is not that deep.

In modern times, Yuanchu and they would still be considered as sisters.

"Okay, Elder Yuan." Several people responded.

Feeling Yuanchu's easy-going nature, they also relaxed their tempers.

So they started to eat. They were all well-educated and they enjoyed the meal very much.

There are several good-looking girls at the table, which is pleasing to the eye.

It was as if I was not watching them eat, but looking at a beautiful, dynamic painting.

Wei Lingyu didn't have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, and everyone knew it. So whenever she was around, every meal was filled with laughter and joy, driven by her emotions.

Yuanchu was infected by their atmosphere and sighed in his heart: It’s great to be young.

Yuanchu listened to the conversation between several people, looked at the bright red spicy fish fillet in front of her, and pretended to glance casually at her little apprentice who was chewing her rice silently beside her. Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in her mind.

So she looked at Wei Lingyu and said, "Little Miss Lingyu, I heard that you are quite knowledgeable about dishes?"

Hearing this, Wei Lingyu was embarrassed and whispered, "When I was young, I learned cooking from the chef at home for a while, so I know a little more."

Yuanchu looked puzzled, and then said, "This spicy fish slice in front of me is pretty good, would you like to try it?"

Before Wei Lingyu could answer, Yuan Chu picked up a piece of spicy fish fillet and pretended to put it in Wei Lingyu's bowl.

Gu Xi looked at this scene and was stunned for a moment. His dark pupils shrank, his eyes dimmed, and the fingers holding the bowl curled up unconsciously.

Yuan Chu's heart was beating fast and he felt inexplicably nervous. He glanced at the expression on Gu Xi's face out of the corner of his eye.

She saw the little apprentice's face change instantly, and her heart skipped a beat. Then she heard: "Ding, Yuanchu's favorability -30"

Yuanchu took a deep breath, it's over, this is going to be a big deal!

Then she burst into tears in her heart and immediately took measures to remedy the situation. She tried to steady her voice and pretended to say, "Well, I didn't notice it just now. The fish fillet is a bit too spicy. You girls should eat something lighter." Then she put the fish fillet back into her bowl.

When Yuanchu said this, Ye Wan and the others were all stunned.

As the person involved, Wei Lingyu nodded hurriedly, "Yeah, yeah, it's true that I can't eat anything too spicy, so you should eat it yourself, Elder."

Wei Lingyu was full of doubts. She didn't understand why Yuanchu suddenly wanted to pick some food for her.

But Gu Xi is her apprentice. Why doesn't she pick up food for Ah Xi but picks it up for herself? It's really weird. She actually can't understand Yuan Chu's behavior.

After this little episode, they pretended nothing had happened and continued their meal.

Just a few breaths later, Gu Xi put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

He said in a very normal tone, "I'm done eating. You guys take your time. I'll go upstairs to my room to rest." After that, he went upstairs without looking back.

Seeing his young disciple resolutely turn around and leave, Yuanchu said: I really want to slap myself twice, to let you down for being so rude and to let you down for coming up with such a bad idea.

The test did work out, and it was true that the little disciple was jealous, but it was also true that I had pissed her off.

Yuanchu, ah Yuanchu, look at what you have done!?

The system at the side added fuel to the fire and said, "Host, look at what you have done. Now the heroine's favorability towards you has directly failed."

What the system said left her speechless and she suffered a myocardial infarction.

Yuanchu was heartbroken, there was no humanity, no justice, no love!

But who told her to commit suicide? Now it's fine, are you satisfied?

She now understood it thoroughly. This heartless little man was really petty. He only allowed her to care about him?
