Chapter 273: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (21)

She didn’t notice that Jun Jiuling was behind her, watching her leave, until she disappeared.

Back in her own little house, Shen Mubai collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep within minutes.

Before dawn, she was dragged out of bed.

Yawning repeatedly, Shen Mubai sluggishly busied herself in the kitchen. You Yi, with a puzzled expression, watched her with a hint of concern in his eyes and asked, “Cuihua, where did you go last night?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Mubai quickly came up with an excuse: “There was a rat in the house last night, and it was bothering me.”

You Yi nodded and handed her a bottle of medicine. “Take this.”

Shen Mubai took the medicine, puzzled, “What is this for?”

You Yi gave her a glance and said, “It’s for killing rats, of course.”

Shen Mubai felt somewhat touched. “Thank you.”

You Yi approached slyly and whispered, “No need to thank me, just make me some beggar chicken secretly today.”

Shen Mubai rolled her eyes and said, “Give me back my gratitude.”

Except for Wu Er and a few others, the other hall masters and elders wouldn’t come to the kitchen. Even though Shen Mubai’s cooking was really delicious, those who cared about their faces would only let their subordinates into the kitchen early in the morning.

So, only You Yi and a few others who didn’t care about their reputation would come in person.

As they ate lean meat congee and meat buns, You Yi’s cheeks bulged. “We still have to wake up the master later.”

There was a momentary silence in the atmosphere; even Wu Er’s hand holding the garlic shook.

Although Zuo Yi also stopped eating, he maintained a very calm expression: “Let’s finish eating first.”

Shen Mubai couldn’t help but feel a little curious, but as a newcomer, she didn’t dare to ask anything, so she quietly swallowed her questions and ate her meal.

Yun Niang broke the awkward atmosphere by saying, “Let’s finish eating first; we’ll talk about it later.”

Finally finished with breakfast, Shen Mubai stood up and wiped her mouth. “I’ll leave first.”

“Wait.” Yun Niang called out to her.

Shen Mubai turned around.

Yun Niang said to her, “Cuihua, come with us later.”

You Yi, who was busy eating, hesitated. “Yun Niang, is this appropriate?”

Even Wu Er looked at her strangely and said, “Third Hall Master, what can she do?”

Zuo Yi remained silent.

Yun Niang smiled. “She…well, we need to try before we know.”

Shen Mubai listened, feeling completely confused.

After finishing breakfast, they headed towards the sect master’s house.

When they reached the front, they all stopped.

Shen Mubai was utterly bewildered, and then she saw several of them take a deep breath and start punching.

Not knowing what was going on, You Yi, looking distressed, walked over and knocked on the door before going in.

In just a short while, a figure flew out and landed on the ground with a thud, a hint of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “…I did my best.”

Zuo Yi silently tossed him a pill.

After completing this series of actions, except for You Yi lying on the ground, Yun Niang and the others continued to punch.

This time, Wu Er lost, and Yun Niang remained silent for a moment before saying, “Wu Er, I remember you had garlic this morning.”

Wu Er embarrassedly exhaled, “I didn’t eat much.”

Zuo Yi said in a deep voice, “Take care.”

Then Wu Er went in. This time, he came out even faster than You Yi had, spitting out blood as he collapsed. “I was clearly more than a meter away from the master.”

Then he skillfully took out a bottle of medicine from his jacket and swallowed a few pills.
