Lonemoon had flown out of the Southern Land in a rage. If murderous vibes could kill, the few hundred miles all around the Southern Land would have been wiped out.

He was really angry, here he was working himself to death in guiding his disciple and those two rascals actually sneaked out to play behind his back and even left two fake people to fool him! Hey whose plane was this? They also probably spent all their money on this trip, the main point was that they did not ask him along!

(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻

Damn it, his 1001st time wanting to sever father and daughter ties! Whoever wants such a daughter can have her, buy one get one free!

Lonemoon charged right to the nearest immortal city, he’d thought it would some time to find those two wastrels but not too long after flying out of the Southern Land, he saw a trail left behind. Two anxious figures were approaching him at an extremely high speed, dust swirling behind them. Shen Ying ran in front, a pastry held in her mouth, one of her hands was holding Chef while the other was grabbing something as they raced forward madly.

Lonemoon had yet to react and Shen Ying had already spotted him, her eyes instantly lit up as she dashed towards him.

“Fa… ther….Niu!” Three short syllables, but she managed to make it sound like an entirely different thing, giving one the visual of all flowers blooming in Spring, as if she had seen her savior. Instantly arriving before him, she halted suddenly, unlike her usual languidness, she smiled brightly. “Father Niu, we miss you so much.”

“A day apart from you feels like three years!” Chef also added on.

“You’re indeed the best Father Niu under the sun.”

“You are the one and only, the best.”

“Father Niu, first in the world for generations to come!”

“Father Niu’s name will resound through the ages!”

“That’s enough, did you two think were dancing a carefully choreographed dance!” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as glanced coldly at the duo, instantly having an ominous feeling. “Tell the truth, what have the both of you gotten into now?”

“Nothing!”

Both master and disciple shook their heads together.

Lonemoon gave them another cold look and threw out two words. “Heh heh!” Like I would believe you!

“Really Father Niu, you must believe me!” Shen Ying blinked. “We just bought some food!” Her thumb and index finger pinched together, gesturing a small gap as she spoke, she even stuffed a paper bag in her hand over.

Lonemoon took it instinctively but before he could check it, indignant voices sounded from in front.

“They’re here, catch that liar!”

“Quick everyone stop him, we must not let them get away!”

“Another one has joined them, they must belong together, we’ll beat them all up.”

With that, dozens of fierce, bulky men came flying through the air, some held swords, some held artifacts, there were even some who held choppers, spatulas and aprons. With even landing, their blows came pelting in the direction of the trio.

Followed by several thuds, they were pushed back by the array around the few.

Lonemoon was startled by them, losing his grip on the paper bag in his hand, it fell open. All at once, thick stacks of strips of paper scattered on the ground, he could vaguely see debt slips written in black and white in between the few recipes. His heart sank as he turned towards the two exact same “innocent faces” beside him.

“You two wastrels, what have you done now?!”

ლ(゚Д゚ლ)

Both master and disciple looked up to the sky, feigning ignorance.

Yet those people had already landed and had formed a solid circle around them. They picked up their weapons on the ground while panting, each of them looking like they couldn’t wait to come chop them out!

“I’ll see where you… can run too!” One of the in the center was panting real hard and he was the cultivator with the highest cultivation level amongst them, he panted as he pointed a finger in their direction. “You all… you all… you all just wait till I catch my breath!”

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon was speechless, after sweeping past everyone on the site, he realized their cultivation levels weren’t high, the highest was a late stage Golden Core, while the others were all at the Foundation Establishment level, including some at the Qi Refinement stage.

His expression darkened at once as he turned to glare at the duo again, Chef and Shen Ying, one was a manager, another assistant, both were Cheats, one big and one small, just how did they manage to get themselves into the situation of being chased everywhere by low level cultivators in the lower realm who weren’t even at the nascent soul level?

Master and disciple continued to stare at the sky, hmm, the weather’s not too bad today… it’s a day suited to… eat(cook)!

What else could it be, losing on the side of reason!

“Fellow Daoists.” Lonemoon inhaled deeply, suppressed his urge to give the two a good beating and said to everyone with cupped fists, “May I know how my two friends here have offended you that everyone took the trouble to come chasing? If it’s a misunderstanding, why don’t we sit down and talk it through?”

“Cut the nonsense!” The Golden Core core cultivator who finally caught his breath glared at him and said, “You’re the one with them huh? Everyone don’t listen to him, let’s capture them before anything else!”

As soon as he finished, the others raised the weapons in their hands once again, some conjured spells, others struck out, coming right at the three of them.

Seems like speaking reasonably won’t work, Lonemoon frowned and released the suppression of the Soul Formation stage, a huge slab of pressure swept towards everyone at once.

The people who were calling to fight and kill earlier froze, their bodies so tense that they couldn’t move, the cultivators with the lowest level of cultivation even fell to their knees. Silence fell instantly, everyone felt perspiration form at the top of their heads, the Golden Core cultivator who led them had even gone pale, wearing an expression of disbelief.

“Soul… Soul Formation… Supremacy!” How was this possible?

They’d only thought of giving chase and nothing else and did not expect those two liars to know a Soul Formation Supremacy.

“Now can we talk about what happened?”

Everyone: “…”

Lonemoon’s suppression was retracted just after a moment of releasing it, without making clear the facts, it was naturally not right to start fighting directly.

The furious expressions on the men’s faces were then put away, after staring at each other for a moment, the Golden Core cultivator gritted his teeth and stepped forward. “Supremacy, it’s not that we meant to offend you, it’s… your two friends, ruined the treasures that we have painstakingly collected for years and even destroyed our space for the alchemy room, those were our life-time of hard work.”

He seemed to recall something as some fury surfaced in his eyes, he forcefully suppressed them after glancing at Lonemoon, then tried asking, “As a Soul Formation Supremacy, you must be a fair person, even if they are your friends, I believe you will allow us to seek justice right?”

Lonemoon’s expression darkened, turning back to the two behind him, he bit out, “What have you two done?”

“Nothing.” Shen Ying replied. “I just accidentally burned some carrots.”

“You shut up!” Lonemoon glared at her and turned directly to Yi Qing. “Chef you tell me.”

Yi Qing peeped at his master before saying, “Well… master and I just went to buy some snacks, then while at it, learn some new recipes. In the end… we accidentally set the kitchen on fire.”

“…” What kind of kitchen? A kitchen used to store elixirs?

“Don’t worry Father Niu, we paid with spirit stones!” Shen Ying raised her hand and added.
