Chapter 67 - Chu Yang Wakes Up

Walking out of the stables with the two demon beasts, Xuan Hao awkwardly smiled as he saw the vengeful and distraught expressions on the Beast Tamers faces as he walked by them.

"L-Lord Shadow!"

"His Majesty, Big Tiger!"

Honestly, Xuan Hao wondered whether the Beast Tamers were even needed in the first place.

But then again, without them, the Flying Sword Sect would not have any demon beast to help with transportation of either disciples or resources…

…

Walking through the sect, Xuan Hao was looked at quite weirdly as he dragged the two demon beasts over towards the dining hall of the Flying Sword Sect.

Though most of them looked more scared than anything, after all, the two demon beasts looked quite ferocious even when dead.

"Elder Xuan, what have you come here for…?" A young servant said as he came out of the dining hall with a nervous look on his face. From time to time, he would glance at the two enormous demon beasts behind Xuan Hao with a scared look on his face.

"Ah, I came to get the help of your dining hall, to prepare these two demon beasts. They are quite fresh and should still be quite good for cooking. Hopefully, some of their essences are still left and that could bring a few benefits to the one eating them, but these two are only at the Core Formation Realm, so it would mostly be useful for the disciples at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation Realm." Saying this, Xuan Hao did not wait for the young servant to answer as he walked directly past him and entered the dining hall to talk with the elder in charge about it.

"Ah, elder Xuan!" realizing that Xuan Hao had already entered the dining hall, the young servant boy sent one last fearful look towards the two giant demon beasts laying on the ground before running after Xuan Hao.

The other servants, who were currently preparing food ingredients, washing dishes and other things, turned to look towards Xuan Hao as he entered the dining hall.

Xuan Hao stood out quite a lot compared to the servants working in the kitchen and drew a lot of attention as most stopped doing their tasks and just stared at him questioningly.

Xuan Hao did not really mind and chose to ignore it, as he soon made it to a small side room to the kitchen part of the dining hall.

This was where the elder in charge of the dining hall would stay and supervise the servants and make sure nothing happened, while also keeping an eye on the disciples who entered the dining hall at the same time.

"Hello Elder." Entering the room without knocking, Xuan Hao shocked the old man in charge of the dining hall as the old man almost jumped up from his meditative position due to suddenly being interrupted.

"Elder X-Xuan?! What are you doing here?" Standing up right away, the elder asked with a surprised look on his face as he tried to think of any reason as to why a core elder would come find him at the dining hall.

"I have some demon beasts outside that I would like the dining hall to prepare for me, I think it would be great if you could use them in today's dinner!" Smiling at the surprised look of the elder, Xuan Hao explained his reason for showing up.

"Demon beast meat for dinner!? You mean you want to feed all the disciples demon beast meat…? Little Cheng, how big are the demon beasts outside?" Doubting what he heard, the elder turned and looked at the young servant boy, who had just managed to reach the small room.

"T-the demon beasts outside are at least a few meters in lengths… I-I don't know, I didn't manage to get a good enough look at them…" The young servant boy called little Cheng was the same person that had met Xuan Hao when he arrived at the dining hall earlier.

"Hm… Guess I will go and take a look myself, but if they are big enough, I will make sure to incorporate them in today's dinner!" Saying that, the elder made his way out to inspect the demon beasts, dragging little Cheng along with him.

"Guess I will just show myself out…" Looking at the elder and little Cheng's disappearing figures, Xuan Hao decided to just let them deal with the preparation of the demon beasts. After all, there was more than enough meat on the tiger demon beast alone…

With that, Xuan Hao made his way out of the dining hall and walked back towards his mountain peak.

"I wonder if that Chu Yang has woken up yet…"

…

"You! You were the one who stole my spirit herb!?"

"Stole?! I just picked it up, it's not your spirit herb just because you say it is!"

Hm? What is this?

Walking into the pavilion, Xuan Hao saw both Chu Yang and Qing Yi standing in front of each other with weapons drawn. Looking like they were about to attack one another at any moment.

A little farther away, Zhi Ruo just silently observed them both with an annoyed look on her face.

"What's happening?" Asking the question that had come to mind from the moment that he saw his disciple and future disciple confronting one another, Xuan Hao made his presence known as both Qing Yi and Chu Yang turned around to face him.

"Who are you!"

"Master! You must help me deal with this brute! He wants to steal the spirit herb I collected!"

Chu Yang had a cautious look on his face as he inspected Xuan Hao, while Qing Yi looked ecstatic as she quickly made her way over to Xuan Hao as she explained what had happened.

"What do you mean your herb?! I found it first and just let it grow until it reached maturity! But you took it away!" Ignoring Xuan Hao, Chu Yang turned to Qing Yi as he started arguing with her again.

"Found it first, let it reach maturity? Pah! Who would believe that?" Not losing in the slightest, Qing Yi turned around and faced Chu Yang with a disdainful smile on her lips.

"…" Looking at the two arguing, Xuan Hao had no idea what to do.

Just what happened?
