Chapter 192: The Return of Elder Bai and Elder Yu
“Looking for Bai?”
Lin Jing was startled, then suddenly ca back to his senses.
“Elder Bai…?”
“Could it be that Elder Bai and Elder Yu are back?”
Just as Lin Jing was contemplating this,
the familiar voice of Huang Qingling rang out from behind him:
“Lin Jing, what brings you here?”
“Are you looking for ?”
“Great, I was just about to look for you too, now it saves the trouble…”
Lin Jing turned around and saw Huang Qingling walking towards him.
At this mont, Huang Qingling was dressed in a light green plain gauze dress, draped with an exquisite embroidered shawl.
Through the thin outer layer, her fair skin was faintly visible.
And with her face, which retained a hint of girlish beauty, it was hard for one to take their eyes off…
Even Lin Jing couldn’t help but marvel.
Huang Qingling indeed was heaven’s favored child…
Heaven not only granted her outstanding cultivation talent but even bestowed upon her such stunning beauty.
It made everyone envious…
At this ti…
Even Little Sparrow left Lin Jing’s shoulder and flew towards Huang Qingling.
Confronted with Lin Jing’s gaze, Huang Qingling didn’t show any sign of discomfort; instead, she walked openly towards him.
“How is it?”
“Isn’t it appealing? It has left you speechless…”
Huang Qingling walked up and teased Lin Jing.
In the face of Huang Qingling’s teasing, Lin Jing responded quite seriously:
“You are indeed beautiful, Fellow Daoist Qing Ling…”
“But what I envy more is your cultivation talent.”
Yes!
Huang Qingling’s cultivation talent was genuinely high, which made Lin Jing extrely envious.
“Blockhead…”
Huang Qingling gave Lin Jing a reproachful look, then spoke:
“Forget about that, what do you need from ?”
Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling and replied:
“I’ve just finished refining pills and wanted to relax a bit, so I ca over here to see if Li and the others were busy, and maybe we could get together…”
“I see…”
Huang Qingling spoke and then said:
“Unfortunately, I have sothing to do today, so we can’t gather. Let’s do it another ti!”
“Including you as well…”
Huang Qingling looked at Lin Jing with a mischievous smile and said:
“I hereby declare that you, the great chef, are being summoned once again…”
“Elder Bai and Elder Yu are back, right?”
Lin Jing spoke.
Huang Qingling was taken aback and looked at Lin Jing incredulously:
“No way…”
“How did you know?”
“They’ve only just arrived at Fang Market…”
Lin Jing looked towards Little Sparrow on Huang Qingling’s shoulder and said:
“You have quite the talent for beast taming, Fellow Daoist Qing Ling. Maybe you should consider being a beast tar in the future…”
By this point, Huang Qingling also realized what was going on.
Then, she reached out to grab Little Sparrow on her shoulder and brought it in front of her eyes.
She looked nacingly at Little Sparrow and said:
“It was you who snitched, wasn’t it…”
Little Sparrow buried its head in its chest, not daring to et Huang Qingling’s eyes.
However…
Huang Qingling didn’t truly an to reprimand Little Sparrow.
After a mont, she placed Little Sparrow back on her shoulder.
And then, she said to Lin Jing:
“Yes, indeed…”
“Old Man Bai and Elder Yu, the two of them have returned.”
“They are now at Yuebaolou, and they’ve already arranged to co over tonight…”
“So…”
“They asked to call you over to cook a big al.”
“Elder Yu also said he’s been out for several months and specifically missed the dishes you make…”
“Luckily you ca by yourself, which saves the trouble of calling you.”
“Alright then…”
“A welco feast for Elder Bai and Elder Yu—I am more than happy to do it.”
Lin Jing readily agreed.
“Right, Qing Ling,”
“Did you prepare the ingredients? I just arrived and didn’t prepare anything…”
“If you haven’t prepared, we can go together to get so now…”
Huang Qingling’s mouth quirked as she said,
“Don’t worry, I have prepared everything a long ti ago…”
“Indeed…”
Lin Jing then thought of Huang Qingling’s foodie personality and said no more.
“Let’s go, then…”
With that, Huang Qingling led the way to the small courtyard.
Lin Jing followed Huang Qingling into the courtyard as well.
Once there, they didn’t enter the living room but turned directly into the kitchen.
Huang Qingling took out the purchased ingredients from her Storage Bag and then said to Lin Jing:
“The rest is up to you…”
“No rush, they have so matters to attend to and might arrive later.”
“Alright…”
Lin Jing nodded and began to get busy.
After a while, he had processed all the ingredients.
Then he looked up at the sky.
The orange-red twilight had already spread across the horizon.
It was already getting late.
And then he started playing the role of head chef…
Before he knew it, night had fallen.
By the ti Lin Jing had served the last dish, both Elder Bai and Elder Yu had still not arrived…
Fortunately, these dishes could be directly enveloped with spiritual power to prevent the heat from escaping; he wasn’t worried about the food getting cold.
Afterward…
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling chatted idly, waiting for Elder Bai and Elder Yu.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock at the door.
“They’re here…”
Upon hearing the knock, Huang Qingling got up and made her way outside.
Lin Jing did the sa, rising and following Huang Qingling.
They reached the courtyard entrance, and Huang Qingling reached out to open the door.
There they saw Elder Bai and Elder Yu.
Elder Bai looked the sa as ever, but Elder Yu was different…
Elder Yu appeared younger than before, and the aura he exuded was worlds apart from the past.
No doubt…
This was the difference between a Golden Core Cultivator and a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Previously, Elder Yu had just advanced to Golden Core and his realm was not yet stable, so it wasn’t very apparent.
Now, with ti passed, Elder Yu’s realm had stabilized, making him seem like a different person.
Upon seeing them, Huang Qingling spoke up:
“Old Man Bai, Old Man Yu…”
“You’ve finally arrived; we’ve been waiting for you two for a long ti…”
anwhile, Lin Jing greeted them with a clasped-hand salute, saying:
“Elder Bai…”
“Elder Yu…”
“You’re back…”
Elder Bai nodded at Lin Jing as usual.
And Elder Yu, smiling, said to Lin Jing:
“Lin lad, I’ve missed your cooking for such a long ti…”
At this point, Huang Qingling spoke up to Elder Yu:
“Old Man Yu, while you’ve been outside…”
“All you thought about was Lin Jing’s cooking, and not ?”
Elder Yu chuckled and said:
“Of course, I missed you…”
“Really?” Huang Qingling eyed Elder Yu skeptically.
“Of course…”
Elder Yu said with a smile.
“I’ve even got a gift for you.”
“A gift?”
Huang Qingling’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Co on, let’s go inside and talk.”
“Yes, yes…”
Huang Qingling nodded repeatedly.
With that, the two of them guided Elder Bai and Elder Yu inside.
