Xi Jingxuan brought two thousand disciples and four elders at the Wuwang level—a very luxurious lineup.

This also brought visual blessings to the male disciples of the Tiegu Sect. After all, they were all beauties with exceptional looks!

“Senior Brother, the Miaohua Palace disciples are truly beautiful.”

“If our Tiegu Sect had this many young ladies, how wonderful that would be.”

The Tiegu Sect disciples huddled together, discussing in low voices.

If those young masters suffering at the mountain’s base knew that the Tiegu Sect disciples could admire the Miaohua Palace female disciples up close, they would surely be so envious they’d cough up blood!

“Palace Master Xi.”

In the main hall, Jun Changxiao said: “Jun has already ordered disciples to prepare food and wine to welcome your esteemed sect.”

“Then we’ll trouble Sect Leader Jun.” Xi Jingxuan smiled.

Today she wore a sky-blue gauze dress and had meticulously dressed up, making her look even more beautiful.

Jun Changxiao said: “If Zhenyang Commandery attacks, they’ll definitely assault Qingyang City. So after the meal, please accompany me to Qingyang City, Palace Master Xi.”

He absolutely wouldn’t keep Miaohua Palace at the sect—after all, there were secrets that couldn’t be known by others.

“Mm.” Xi Jingxuan agreed.

Before long, the fragrant dishes were ready, and she led several elders to the dining hall.

The female disciples who had visited the Tiegu Sect before had bright eyes sparkling with light.

They had eaten Liu Wanshi’s cooking once before and still savored the memory.

Changsun Fanghua and the others maintained their aloof expressions, looking very cold and proud.

After taking their seats.

Some disciples eagerly picked up their chopsticks.

Changsun Fanghua lightly scolded: “How many days has it been since you’ve eaten?”

A female disciple said quietly: “Grand Elder, the Tiegu Sect chef’s cooking is simply gourmet delicacies!”

Gourmet delicacies?

Changsun Fanghua snorted coldly.

As an old woman who had lived for several hundred years, what delicious food hadn’t she eaten?

She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of vegetables.

As someone with a picky palate, the Grand Elder had already prepared many scathing critiques in her mind.

Swish! Swish!

The Miaohua Palace disciples raised their chopsticks one after another.

Changsun Fanghua didn’t scold them, because at this moment, she was slowly savoring the food in her mouth, her expression changing again and again!

She had eaten many delicious dishes before, but after swallowing this bite, she concluded that everything she’d eaten previously was just radishes and cabbage!

The prepared script was instantly washed away by the delicious food and replaced entirely with words of praise!

Food is the paramount necessity of the people.

Unless one was a powerful expert who could achieve fasting, it was difficult to resist culinary delights.

“How is it?”

Leng Xingyue beside her asked.

Changsun Fanghua suppressed the taste impact brought by the food: “You can try it yourself.”

Leng Xingyue raised her chopsticks, then ate a bite of vegetables. Her beautiful face immediately showed astonishment—clearly she too was shocked by Liu Wanshi’s cooking!

“Everyone.”

Jun Changxiao smiled: “Simple fare, please forgive us.”

“……”

Changsun Fanghua and the others’ mouths twitched.

Calling this kind of heavenly delicacy simple fare—what does that make what we eat!

“Hm?”

Just as Leng Xingyue picked up a bite of vegetables and was about to eat it, from the corner of her eye she caught sight of Old Wei walking in through the doorway.

“Swish!”

She shot to her feet with a “whoosh,” slammed her chopsticks on the table, her beautiful eyes flashing with anger: “Wei Qingfeng!”

Her voice was very loud, startling everyone.

Jun Changxiao looked up and saw Leng Xingyue’s gaze fixed firmly on Old Wei, silently thinking: “This is… Old Wei’s name?”

The man had joined the sect for quite some time, and he didn’t even know his name—he was really an incompetent sect leader.

Old Wei looked at Leng Xingyue, full of surprise.

After a moment, he smiled gently: “So you joined Miaohua Palace.”

“Old Wei.”

Jun Changxiao transmitted mentally: “You know this woman?”

“Yes.”

Old Wei replied: “She’s my thirty-fifth former lover.”

Former lover?

And the thirty-fifth one!

Sect Leader Jun was completely dumbfounded.

Old Wei!

You just blindsided me with thirty-five bowls of dog food!

Leng Xingyue’s beautiful eyes still held anger, but also mixed with a trace of barely perceptible resentment. This complex gaze was enough to indicate she and Old Wei had once had an unforgettable love story.

“Wei Qingfeng!”

She said coldly: “The facts prove that I, Leng Xingyue, can live very well even after leaving you.”

“This isn’t the place to talk.” Old Wei said.

“What?”

Leng Xingyue said with a cold face: “Afraid people will know how you, as a man, broke your promise?”

“……” Old Wei fell silent.

“How ridiculous of me!”

Leng Xingyue said self-mockingly: “To think I was bewitched by you, this heartless scoundrel, for decades over a single phrase: ‘If you bloom in splendor, the gentle breeze will come of its own accord.'”

If you bloom in splendor, the gentle breeze will come of its own accord?

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched as a mental image immediately formed.

It was a picturesque peach tree grove. Young Old Wei stood before young Leng Xingyue, holding a peach branch, saying incomparably tenderly: “Sister Xingyue, if you bloom in splendor, the gentle breeze will come of its own accord.”

Oh my goodness.

So pretentious, so nauseating!

Old Wei said bitterly: “Xingyue, do you still hate me this much?”

“I hate you to the bone!”

Leng Xingyue gritted her teeth, the hatred in her beautiful eyes growing even stronger.

Old Wei didn’t speak and turned to walk out of the dining hall.

How could Leng Xingyue let this go? She didn’t even eat the delicious food and chased after him.

After the two left, a Miaohua Palace disciple said in a low voice: “Grand Elder, is this old man the one who hurt Second Elder the most?”

Changsun Fanghua said coldly: “A smooth-talking philanderer who deceived Second Elder’s feelings for decades.”

Saying this, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Jun Changxiao: “Taking in such a person—you’re just birds of a feather.”

Sect Leader Jun was speechless.

What does Old Wei’s romantic debt have to do with looking at me!

Since transmigrating to this world, though brother has had a tiny bit of anticipation about romance, he’s always conducted himself properly and guarded his virtue like jade. Readers are so anxious they’re asking every day who the female lead is—how am I birds of a feather!

However.

That said.

Old Wei was an old hand in romance!

With over thirty ex-girlfriends alone, as a senior single dog, he must find an opportunity to learn from him!

“Come, come.”

Jun Changxiao urged: “Don’t just stand there, everyone eat, eat!”

While speaking, he released his spiritual sense, locking onto Old Wei and Leng Xingyue, witnessing them stop at the small pavilion by the lotus pond.

“Truly a romance expert!”

Jun Changxiao thought: “Even the place he seemingly randomly chose is so suitable for romantic conversation!”

Learned something, learned something!

“Xingyue.”

Old Wei stopped, looking at the lotus pond scenery ahead, and sighed: “Actually, I have unavoidable difficulties.”

“Difficulties?”

Leng Xingyue sneered: “Your difficulty is probably having too many women, right?”

Old Wei raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle to gaze at the heavens, saying melancholically: “I, Wei Qingfeng, am destined to drift with the wind my entire life. I couldn’t give you stability, couldn’t give you security, so I could only choose to leave, even if it meant breaking the vow we once made.”

Dumping someone while making it sound so poetic!

Not just a romance expert—a romance sage!

“Now it’s drifting with the wind, not ‘if you bloom in splendor, the gentle breeze will come of its own accord’?” Leng Xingyue said coldly.

Hearing this, Jun Changxiao almost spit out his food laughing.

“Ah.”

Old Wei shook his head: “Xingyue, I thought you would understand me, would comprehend me, but instead……”

He gently covered his chest: “My heart hurts so much.”

Leng Xingyue said with a cold face: “Have you ever understood me, comprehended me? Have you ever known how much pain my heart was in during those years waiting for you?”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

Weren’t they embarrassed saying such nauseating lines from romance dramas!

“Therefore.”

The System said: “Host deserves to be single for life.”

Crack—

Listen, that’s the sound of a heart breaking.
