Chapter 173 - 172: The Dedicated High-Level Executives of the Eternity Sect_1
“Hey, don’t you guys do business when it comes your way?” Shangguan Yu was a bit puzzled, was the Seek Dao Sect’s shop also like this, open for business but not doing any?
Second Elder, who was following behind Shangguan Yu, looked at Vice Sect Leader Liu and his group suspiciously and said, “You guys look unfamiliar, I haven’t seen you in the Seek Dao Sect, could it be that you are…”
Vice Sect Leader Liu recognized the Second Elder Ba Yan at a glance, this was a high-level figure of the Seek Dao Sect, a man of actual power, at the peak of the Unification stage, if such a person grows suspicious, it’s highly likely that they’ll be exposed.
He put on a smiling face and let the other six people get up to serve the customers, “The store manager is away on business, we were rushed over to help temporarily. Sir, you want twenty mutton kebabs, right? Please wait, they’ll be ready soon.”
Being a part of the demonic sect, a cruel cold smile hanging at the corner of the mouth was an essential skill, but the ability to switch smiles casually was also a necessary skill of the demonic sect.
Vice Sect Leader Liu rolled up his sleeves, tied on the black and white apron hanging on the wall, and took out twenty-five mutton kebabs from the basin, “You are our first customer today, I’ll give you an extra five kebabs.”
A few flies, lured by the smell of meat, flew over and were shooed away by Vice Sect Leader Liu.
The Second Elder was still a bit suspicious, “Your shop isn’t very clean…”
Vice Sect Leader Liu quickly said, “Old Gao, bring out the Array Method!”
Vice Sect Leader Gao took out a set of Array Method from the Storage Ring, laid it on the ground, and the flies immediately fled from the barbecue shop.
Those who started businesses in the Seek Dao Sect were not ordinary people, and the use of the Storage Ring and Array Method will not cause suspicion.
Vice Sect Leader Liu chuckled and explained, “It’s absolutely clean, this is the insect repelling Array Method that we brought from outside.”
Vice Sect Leader Liu was always meticulous in his work.
With one hand he turned and shook the mutton kebabs, while with the other hand he rubbed his fingers, the barbecue seasoning fell, falling on the mutton kebabs. The aroma of mutton was stimulated by the charcoal fire, it smelled tantalizingly delicious.
The proficiency of Vice Sect Leader Liu was in no way inferior to that of Lu Yang.
The seven of them had specifically found the best local barbecue master, and had studied hard for three days, all for this moment!
“Do you eat spicy?”
Shangguan Yu thought for a moment, she wasn’t very good at eating spicy food, but felt that something was missing without it: “Just a little bit spicy.”
“Alright.” Vice Sect Leader Liu continued to roast the skewers while hawking his wares.
“Come and see, the fresh and tender grassland lamb, freshly slaughtered, full of meat and tendons, the meat is fragrant and the tendons are tough, it’s unforgettable!”
This was what the ordinary barbecue master had shouted when they were learning from him, and he had told them that the louder they shouted, the more customers they would attract.
Perhaps it was because he had heard the ordinary barbecue master shout so much, that Vice Sect Leader Liu became sentimental and shouted it out himself.
As expected, it was effective, and disciples from the Seek Dao Sect were gradually gathering around.
“Here, your kebabs are ready.” Vice Sect Leader Liu handed the mutton kebabs to Shangguan Yu.
“How much?”
Vice Sect Leader Liu didn’t know how much to charge, he glanced at the price list hanging on the wall and jumped in surprise.
Were the prices at the Seek Dao Sect so high?
What Vice Sect Leader Liu didn’t know was, the prices at the Seek Dao Sect were not usually high, it was just that they had gone up temporarily because of an event.
Shangguan Yu slightly opened her mouth and took a bite, the meat was fragrant and full of juice. Once in her mouth, Shangguan Yu couldn’t even tell if it was saliva or juice.
“Delicious, delicious, I’ll have another fifty skewers! And two roasted pig trotters.”
The biggest benefit of cultivators eating is that no matter how much they eat, they never feel full. As long as they want to eat, they can eat as much as they want and enjoy the feast to their heart’s content.
Of course, this characteristic was not given a chance to manifest at the banquet prepared by Fairy Eternity.
Seeing the way Shangguan Yu was eating, saliva was dropping from the mouths of the people around, and they followed suit, clamoring for skewers.
Vice Sect Leader Gao called from inside, “There’s space inside, there’s space, don’t crowd outside, you can come in to order!”
The five Elders were busy greeting the customers.
On the martial arts arena, the first round of the Golden Core group was over, there was still time before the start of the second round, many disciples chose to eat while watching the battle. This included not only those from the Seek Dao Sect, but also from the Five Elements Sect.
They noticed a barbecue shop that was unusually different, and very busy.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
As more and more disciples came to eat skewers, Vice Sect Leader Liu felt a sense of confidence rising naturally.
“I said it from the start, regardless of how successful Lu Yang and his friends’ barbecue shop in Yanjiang County might seem, that’s only because I haven’t intervened. If I were to intervene, what chance would Lu Yang have?”
“Old Gao, there are too many orders, I can’t keep up, lend a hand!”
“Alright!”
Unexpectedly, Vice Sect Leader Gao’s barbecue skill matched the Vice Sect Leader Liu’s!!
On the stands, Lu Yang brought skewers for Eldest Senior Sister, greeted with Qju Jin’an’s surprised eyes.
Why did Sect Master Lu have to resort to selling skewers?
It hasn’t been long, what happened during this time?
Qju Jin’an was puzzled.
“How’s the preparation?”
“There are only seven customers left in the store. According to the plan, disciples will order food, it should go without a hitch.”
“Got it, go back.”
When Lu Yang returned, he took a glance at the martial arts square, the second round of the competition had begun. Representing the Seek Dao Sect was Senior Sister Yi Jing who was similarly challenged by Fairy Eternity.
Lu Yang noticed the Senior Brothers and Sisters watching the match, holding many skewers, he was a bit surprised. Even Bai Ming, who had just lost a match, was holding a bunch, eating heartily.
What’s going on?
When Lu Yang returned, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu had already returned to the barbecue shop, helping Vice Sect Leaders with the barbecue.
The people secretly arranged to buy skewers couldn’t line up, they held up their hands helplessly when they saw Lu Yang.
The Second Elder was eating skewers by the roadside, his mouth greasy. He greeted Lu Yang, “Where did you find these cooks? Their skewer-cooking skills are top-notch.”
Shangguan Yu, standing next to him, also expressed his desire to visit the Seek Dao Sect more often.
Lu Yang: “…”
“Excuse me, excuse me.” Lu Yang shouted, trying to get in and see what was happening.
The person being squeezed frowned, “Stop pushing, don’t you know how to queue?”
“I’m a staff member!”
The person who was squeezed spotted Lu Yang, twitched the corners of his mouth, and let him pass.
He suddenly remembered the admonition from his master that the demonic sect might infiltrate the exchange venue and Lu Yang planned to trap them all.
Could the people in this barbecue shop be from the demonic sect?
He stared at the two Vice Sect Leaders grilling skewers for a while and felt he might have misunderstood.
The elders of the Seek Dao Sect had greeted everyone, mentioning not to panic if they saw Lu Yang where he was not supposed to be, just pretend not to know him.
Vice Sect Leader Liu was overjoyed to see Lu Yang return, “Little Lu is back, perfect, you can maintain order, have everyone line up.”
Lu Yang:
Do you still remember why you’re here?
The initial plan was to find a few customers to keep them busy, but he didn’t expect that they would actually make the barbecue shop so successful.
Lu Yang noticed Man Gu’s genuinely happy smile and Meng Jingzhou’s nostalgic expression for Yanjiang County, his heart was filled with words he didn’t know from where to start.
Fairy Eternity nodded in satisfaction, “As expected of my followers, they have impressive self-sustaining abilities. But the standard of these skewers could improve.”
“Lu Yang, let me control your body and show you what an Immortal-level skewer looks like. Take some notes.”
Fairy Eternity was excited and disregarding the rule of “not easily passing on the technique”, she wanted to show her skills.
Hearing this, Lu Yang was startled and hurriedly stopped Fairy Eternity.
“Please don’t add to the chaos!”
