1809 Honoring One's Mentors
"Look, you nearly made us push back dinnertime." Qiao Mu swept them a displeased gaze.
Qi Xuanxuan's eyes lit up at these words. This clearly meant that Qiaoqiao was going to treat them to something good.
By now, Qi Xuanxuan was used to Qiaoqiao having a lot of delicious food. She had long neglected all the illogical things pertaining to Qiao Mu.
In any case, she just had to enjoy what Qiaoqiao dished out…
"Qiaoqiao, are we having a feast today?"
Qiao Mu gazed expressionlessly at everybody in the room before reluctantly giving a nod. Afterwards, she looked toward Zhou Danjin and the other mentors.
Zhou Danjin quickly said with a chuckle, "Little lass, we absolutely have to share our joys and sorrows as members of Apex Academy!"
In other words, they were definitely going to scrounge on this meal!
"Humph." Qiao Mu snorted grumpily. She then turned to tell the little fatty, "Auntie Kou has to stick with a liquid diet. Feed her this bowl of porridge in 15 minutes."
Kou Hongwen took the bowl with a solemn nod. "You guys go eat. I'll be taking care of Dad and Mom."
Everybody knew that Kou Hongwen had things to say to his parents, so they tactfully nodded and left the room.
The group then walked into Qi Xuanxuan's room.
After entering, they squeezed in and sat down around a square table.
Under everybody's astonished gazes, Qiao Mu started taking out one plate of food after another.
It was so unimaginably sumptuous: braised pork hock, stewed fish head, eight appetizers, four pastries, plus a large steaming pot of lamb broth.
Everybody only thought that she had taken out the food from her inner world. They did not know that she had an all-purpose food box that contained all sorts of dishes.
"Let's eat!" Qiao Mu poked the dumbstruck Qi Xuanxuan.
"This is too incredible, Qiaoqiao. You prepared so much food in such a short period of time."
"These…" I did not cook. These words were still in her throat when Qi Xuanxuan patted her shoulder and praised with a smile, "You are my almighty Qiaoqiao."
Qiao Mu was at a loss for words and hesitated to speak.
Zhou Danjin did not stand on ceremony and started eating. He was speechless after gobbling down half a braised pork hock. "Heavens, how long has it been since I had such a hearty meal. This really is excellent. And so hard to come by!"
The little lass actually prepared a sumptuous meal for them! Cough, this was considered honoring one's mentors.
Wei Xu ate his food calmly and looked much more unhurried than Mentor Zhou Danjin, but he was not any slower than the latter in grabbing the food with his chopsticks.
The group ate and drank their fill, but they did not forget to save a bit for the little fatty. They stopped after finally filling up their bellies.
After dinner, Wei Xu announced the mentors' decision to head back to the Lava Mountain Range tomorrow morning.
Everyone had no objections to this.
However, the little fatty had to take a leave of absence to escort his parents back to his hometown.
"Will the people from the Kou Clan go make trouble for them again?" Qiao Mu creased her brows.
"If they dare, I'll chop off their arms and legs." Zhou Danjin snorted, "You can't be a man if you make things difficult for two normal people without the strength to truss a chicken. If the Kou Clan still wants their meager reputation, they will leave some leeway."
Qiao Mu nodded in agreement.
