Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 73: Ungratefulness

Su Fan put down the poor duck and threw it back into the cage.

Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, he felt a chill behind him. Without needing to ask, he knew that Sister Sadako had arrived.

Su Fan received a message, turns out there was a Ghost Dao cultivator by Sister Sadako's side.

The other party's aura was too strong, and Sister Sadako didn't dare to stay there.

"Then you go back first, have fun here by yourself..." Sister Sadako received Su Fan's message and happily floated away.

Now Sister Sadako was becoming more and more unrestrained, often spending the whole day outside.

One day, Su Fan would buy a ghost artifact for her to stay in, so that she wouldn't have to summon the "Evil Ghost Banner" every time.

Sister Sadako's ghostly body was becoming more solid, so Su Fan planned to find a Ghost Dao cultivation technique for her soon.

Su Fan returned to the house and was about to cultivate the "Ghost Demon Spirit Forging Technique" for a while when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

He went out to take a look and saw Liu He standing at the door.

"Big brother, Senior Sister wants to see you, hurry up..." Su Fan was annoyed, she wasn't my Senior Sister.

"Why does Senior Sister want to see me?" Su Fan asked.

Liu He quickly grabbed Su Fan and pulled him outside without saying a word.

"In any case, it's a good thing, hurry up and come with me..." Su Fan didn't believe it, there aren't that many good things in this world.

He was dragged by Liu He to the large room. When he entered, everyone was looking at him, and the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

Senior Sister sat in the first seat, with the air of a big sister.

Wearing black clothes, her face was delicate like a painting, her cloud-like hair tied up without any decorations. Her fair skin had a radiant glow, like a lotus emerging from water.

Just like a thorny rose, her beautiful eyes carried a sense of dominance.

Su Fan bowed to Senior Sister and said confidently, "Simple country food, I don't know if it suits the taste of Fellow Daoists."

"Hmm... although the dishes are a bit rustic, they have a unique flavor." Su Fan was pleasantly surprised by Senior Sister's words and bowed again.

"That's good, I was afraid that Fellow Daoists wouldn't be accustomed to the wild flavors of my rustic cuisine."

Senior Sister laughed and said, "Alright, let me tell you something..."

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

"I think your restaurant has a unique style. Why not open it in Ashen Dove City so you don't have to keep going back and forth?"

Su Fan was taken aback, could it be that she wanted to seize this business?

But after thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely. Why would they be interested in his small business?

"Fellow Daoist is joking. My simple country food cannot be separated from the countryside. Once it enters the city, it won't have the same taste."

Senior Sister frowned and chuckled, "Are you afraid that I'll seize your tiny little shop?"

Su Fan laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist is overestimating me. You are all elite members of the sect, why would you care about my small business? It's just that rustic country food can't compare to the high-class cuisine."

Senior Sister snorted and coldly said, "Stop saying those useless words. If you come to Ashen Dove City, you don't need to worry about the storefront. And if you're still not at ease, I'll invest in you."

Su Fan couldn't help but feel moved. This Senior Sister of his was indeed generous, even more so than many men.

If he opened his private kitchen in a place like Ashen Dove City, with Senior Sister's support, his business would easily increase several times or even dozens of times.

But he really didn't want to go to the city. The more prosperous a place, the more conflicts of interest there would be.

Even with Senior Sister's protection, she also had enemies. If a conflict were to arise, his small shop would undoubtedly be the first to suffer.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer.

At that time, he would have nowhere to cry.

It's better to stay in Hongye Lane, collect ten to eighteen thousand spirit stones every month, and what else could he ask for?

There's no way around it, Su Fan was just that kind of person who didn't strive for progress.

Actually, there was another reason. The things he managed didn't require much technical skill.

What is called private home cooking can only be considered as such if it has exclusive secret recipes.

The hot pot and grilled skewers he made were just for novelty, so those old masters could figure them out in a few days.

Once he entered the city, within three months, the streets were filled with hot pot and grilled skewers.

Thinking of this, Su Fan bowed again.

"Fellow Daoist's kindness, Su Fan understands. Simple rustic food is difficult to reach the level of elegance."

The senior sister didn't expect that she had said this, but this guy still refused.

Impatiently waving her hand, she said, "Alright, you don't know what's good for you..."

Su Fan smiled indifferently and left the private room.

After leaving the private room and taking a few steps, Liu He chased after him.

"Big brother, why didn't you agree just now? Do you know what a great opportunity you missed?"

Su Fan chuckled and said, "You know, I'm not doing this for the spirit stones."

He said it with great dignity, as if it were a true story, and Liu He believed it anyway.

"Big brother, I know you're not after spirit stones, but by establishing a relationship through this shop with the senior sister, no one will dare to provoke you in Ashen Dove City, or even in the Shifting Yin Sect."

Su Fan was amused. Oh, my silly brother, how should I put it to you?

Even if he entered the Shifting Yin Sect in the future, he would still be an outer disciple. Why would the senior sister protect you?

"I'm an independent cultivator. What use is it to establish a relationship with the senior sister?"

"In the future, won't you be joining the Shifting Yin Sect? With the relationship with the senior sister, you can have an easier time in the sect."

Su Fan didn't want to say anymore. He held Liu He back and shook his head.

"Brother, everyone has their own aspirations..."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Liu He to respond, he turned and left.

This kid must have been brainwashed by his father.

Without strength, even if you have the senior sister by your side, what can you do? You're just fit to be a lackey.

There are plenty of lackeys around her. Does she need another one?

If one day, she gets into a fight with her enemies, the first one to suffer will be a lackey like you.

But at this moment, Liu He definitely couldn't listen to reason.

Su Fan didn't want to persuade him either. After all, he was in the inner sect, so it was understandable for him to think this way.

In the afternoon, Liu He came again.

"Have they all left?"

Seeing Liu He nod, Su Fan turned around and shouted, "Sister Sadako, collect the spirit stones..."

Whoosh!!

A cold ghostly figure, floating from somewhere, instantly left the courtyard.

"Big brother, the senior sister is a bit unhappy. She says you don't know how to appreciate..."

Su Fan smiled. It sounded like he had agreed, as if she would take him seriously.

"It's alright, I still have you. After entering the sect in the future, you'll protect me."

Liu He suddenly became excited. Just now, he had a face full of despair, but now it disappeared in an instant.

"Big brother, don't worry, when we get to the Shifting Yin Sect, I'll protect you."

Su Fan smiled. You really have a big heart.

He didn't have the patience to listen to Liu He's babbling, so he directly drove him away.

Whoosh!!

Sister Sadako floated back into the courtyard, dragging more than a dozen middle-grade spirit stones and handing them to Su Fan.

"Sister Sadako is great. Tomorrow, I'll make a ghost tool for you and find a Ghost Dao secret technique for you, so you can become my ghost general in the future."

Su Fan's flattery was well done, and Sister Sadako excitedly floated around the courtyard, transmitting waves of joyful thoughts.
