Chapter 25 – Don't throw away the bones
Chapter 25 – Don't throw away the bones
Seeing Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, and Lu Youyou directly using their agility martial arts to rush into the courtyard, the other disciples naturally wouldn't have it. On a normal day, they might show some courtesy to each other, being fellow sect brothers and all.
But in the kitchen, with delicious food right in front of them, no one was willing to back down.
With the shout of one disciple, everyone immediately focused on Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, and Lu Youyou, and various martial skills were launched at the three of them.

"Damn it, you guys..."
Xu Jie had just started to speak when he was grabbed by the corner of his robe by a disciple and pulled into the crowd.
"Don't let them get ahead."
"Let's all make a move. Why should they always be the first? Stop Senior Brother Xu Jie and the others."
Knowing they couldn't take on Xu Jie and the others one-on-one, since they were direct disciples, the crowd decided to band together. For a moment, it seemed like Xu Jie and his companions were indeed being held back.
The sudden obstruction left Xu Jie and the others momentarily stunned. But when they saw some disciples trying to take advantage of the situation to rush into the courtyard, Xu Jie's eyes turned red, and a surge of spiritual power erupted from him.
With a fierce shake, he pushed the surrounding disciples back several steps and dashed straight into the courtyard without stopping.
"The first spot is mine."
As expected of a direct disciple, even with so many inner sect disciples teaming up, they couldn't restrain Xu Jie.
Similarly, Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou also made their moves, shaking off the disciples blocking them and rushing madly into the courtyard.
At this moment, the strength of the three as direct disciples was fully displayed, and all this was just to grab a good spot.
Such intense spiritual power fluctuations naturally caught the attention of other disciples on Divine Sword Peak. Those not far away felt the disturbance at the foot of the mountain in the kitchen.
"Is someone fighting?"
"No way, who dares to make a move on Divine Sword Peak?"
Unless it's on the dueling platform, private fights are forbidden within the Dao Yi Sect.
But now, there was clearly a strong spiritual power fluctuation, and judging by the intensity, quite a few people were involved in this brawl.
Curious, many disciples followed the trail of spiritual energy to the kitchen.
They saw a group of disciples "fighting" at the kitchen entrance.
Menial disciples, outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and even direct disciples like Xu Jie were all in a chaotic brawl, shouting curses.
"Damn it, whoever lets me in first, I'll give them ten low-grade spirit stones."
"Bullshit, someone offered fifteen yesterday. You think ten low-grade spirit stones will get you in first? Dream on."
"Less talk, more fight."
"Junior Brother, don't blame Senior Brother for being ruthless, Soft Palm."
"Senior Brother, it's not clear who will win, Entangling Finger."
The chaotic scene left the newly arrived disciples dumbfounded.
"What are they doing?"
"I think I heard it's a fight over food, for a ranking."
"A fight over food?"
Learning that these people were fighting over food left the disciples speechless.
This was utterly ridiculous. Menial disciples were one thing, but outer sect, inner sect, and even direct disciples? Haven't they seen all kinds of meals? Fighting over a meal?
And for the food from Divine Sword Peak's kitchen, no less?
"Are these guys all crazy?"
"I don't know, should we get closer and take a look?"
"Let's go."
Curious, some tried to get closer, but as soon as they reached the kitchen entrance, before they could speak, a disciple made a move.
"More people are coming."
"No one is taking my spot."
"Senior Brother, what are you doing? I didn't mean to take your spot, I was just curious."
Not giving them a chance to explain, these disciples were quickly dragged into the chaos.
After a fierce scramble, the victors finally got to enjoy their meal.
Ye Changqing had anticipated a large crowd in the evening, so he made plenty of food.
But compared to the number of disciples, it was still not enough, especially since there was a new dish today.
Seeing the braised pig trotters with their enticing aroma and appearance, the disciples who got a spot couldn't stop smiling, while those behind could only look on with envy.
"Delicious."
Xu Jie gnawed on a large pig trotter, his mouth covered in grease, and Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou were doing the same.
Watching the three eat, the disciples who didn't get any could only swallow their saliva.
With so many people, getting extra helpings was out of the question; everyone got just one bowl of rice.
Yet, the disciples who didn't get a spot didn't leave.
Instead, they stood by, staring intently at those eating, as if waiting for something.
"If we can't have the meat, we can at least suck on the bones."
These guys were actually waiting to suck on the bones. Watching the disciples finish their pig trotters, those who didn't get a spot hoped to at least taste the bones.
But once the disciples finished eating, an outer sect disciple carefully put the bones into a spatial ring, leaving the others dumbfounded.
"Seriously, you ate the meat and won't even leave the bones?"
"Mind your own business. Can't I take it back for a late-night snack?"
"You... you're going too far..."
After waiting so long, not only did these guys eat the meat, but they wouldn't even leave the bones?
To make matters worse, following the outer sect disciple's lead, others also carefully stored their leftover bones.
Even Xu Jie, after finishing, quietly said to Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou beside him.
"Senior Sister, Junior Sister, that disciple has a point. Don't throw away the bones; we can take them back for a late-night snack. A little taste when we're craving isn't bad."
Hearing Xu Jie's words, Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou, despite being fairies, nodded without hesitation.
"Junior Brother (Senior Brother) is right, that's how it should be."
With that, the three of them also stored their leftover bones, and not far away, Qian Youcai, an outer sect steward, discreetly followed suit, storing the bones.
"Hehe, I've got my late-night snack sorted."
Squatting in a corner, after storing the bones, Qian Youcai showed a satisfied smile.
Faced with such a scene, the disciples who had never been to the kitchen were utterly dumbfounded.
What was going on? Fighting over food was one thing, but now, after eating, they wouldn't even discard the bones. What did this mean?
Was the food made of gold or something?
Especially seeing Xu Jie and the others doing the same, some inner sect disciples began to question their life choices.
"Is there some top-grade pill in the food? Or is it made with dragon meat?"
"Why would Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Youyou do such a thing?"
