Chapter 74: Give Back My Meat

“Hah, guarding against self-theft? I, Wu Tianhua, entered the Xuantian Sect as a child. I rose from a lowly outer disciple to my current position, managing the Spirit Herb Garden. I have worked tirelessly for the development of the Xuantian Sect, even neglecting my own cultivation. I never imagined that someone like you, who joined the sect midway, would now slander me like this. Hah.”

Upon hearing Song Qingxiu’s words, Uncle-Master Wu let out a loud laugh, his tone tinged with sorrow.

“Sect Leader, don’t fall for his sympathy act. Now that this so-called Senior cannot appear, he resorts to this trick to play on your sympathies,” Song Qingxiu immediately refuted without hesitation.

In terms of reputation within the sect, he, having joined midway, naturally did not have the standing of Uncle-Master Wu, who had been in the Xuantian Sect since childhood. However, he had the backing of two Elders.

“A so-called Senior, heh. If Old Wu really wanted to steal from the Spirit Herb Garden, why would I make such a big fuss? That Senior possesses Mastery of Creation. Naturally, he cannot stay in the Xuantian Sect for long. Song Qingxiu, last time you mocked that Senior, the lesson wasn’t enough. Now you dare to be so arrogant again? You simply don’t know your limits.”

Uncle-Master Wu sneered. Only he truly knew that this Senior really existed.

“Sect Leader Brother, Wu Tianhua and Song Qingxiu each tell a different story. Perhaps we should temporarily relieve them both of their duties within the sect for now, investigate, and then decide.” An aged voice spoke up at this moment, its tone very cold.

Hearing this aged voice, Zhou Yu also sneered. This person appeared fair, but was clearly targeting Uncle-Master Wu. Old Wu was currently in charge of the entire Spirit Herb Garden, while Song Qingxiu had only been temporarily assigned a portion of it.

“Hah, Elder Lü, don’t put on such a hypocritical act. If you have evidence to prove that all of this was caused by me, Old Wu, then I will not only relinquish the Spirit Herb Garden, I will also cripple my own cultivation.”

“If you cannot prove it, then shove back all your schemes and conspiracies. Managing the Spirit Herb Garden was the order of the previous Sect Leader before his passing. Without evidence, I, Old Wu, will not leave this Spirit Herb Garden for a single step.”

Facing the sect Elders, Uncle-Master Wu showed not the slightest retreat. His tone was mocking, and he spoke with absolute finality.

“Sect Leader Brother, this Wu Tianhua clearly has no respect for you…”

Before Elder Lü could finish speaking, another voice chimed in from the side. “Elder Lü Brother, I actually think Wu Tianhua makes a valid point. To temporarily strip Wu Tianhua of his duties within the sect based only on Song Qingxiu’s one-sided account, ignoring his contributions in managing the Spirit Herb Garden over a minor matter, is unreasonable. It also goes against sect regulations.”

“Enough. Wu Tianhua, does the person you speak of truly exist, and will he appear within these two days?” A somewhat authoritative voice now cut off the argument between the two and directed the question at Uncle-Master Wu.

Uncle-Master Wu nodded. He glanced around a few times. “Sect Leader, based on this Senior’s habits of appearance, he is certain to appear within these two days. He might even be among us right now. If Song Qingxiu has the guts, let him continue with his mockery.”

“Very well. Then we will wait two more days. If that person still does not appear, we will decide then. Song Qingxiu, you continue shouting.” The Sect Leader of the Xuantian Sect made the decision and addressed Song Qingxiu.

Upon hearing the Sect Leader’s words, Song Qingxiu was dumbfounded. He had been shouting for days already and had become a laughingstock in the Xuantian Sect. To have him shout for two more days now was pure torture. “Sect Leader, this…”

“Heh, Song Qingxiu, the Sect Leader told you to shout, so shout. Why are you hesitating? Are you perhaps scared?” Uncle-Master Wu mocked from the side.

Song Qingxiu gritted his teeth. He shot a hateful glance at Uncle-Master Wu. “Fine, I’ll shout. Come and steal my things! Senior, come and steal my things!”

Hearing the words Song Qingxiu shouted again, Zhou Yu couldn’t hold back anymore. He pounded the table with his hand, laughing so hard tears almost streamed from his eyes.

He thought that regardless of who won or lost in this farce in the end, Song Qingxiu would become a laughingstock in the Xuantian Sect—a joke about someone actively asking others to steal his things.

Since Song Qingxiu himself was delivering goods to his door, how could he be polite? Zhou Yu looked at the radio, his mind constantly thinking about taking the things from his hands.

“Senior, come and steal my things! Right now, beside me are two boxes of Spirit Bees from the Divine Chef Villa, and half a body of Wind Eagle Meat that I exchanged for at great cost from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. They are all rare and precious treasures! Come and steal them!”

While shouting for someone to steal his things, Song Qingxiu even introduced the items he had placed beside him.

Hearing Song Qingxiu’s words, Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up. Two boxes of Spirit Bees from the Divine Chef Villa—could these be Spirit Bees that could collect Honey? And half a body of Wind Eagle Meat. So far, what he had obtained from the Immortal World were only plants, and even the seasoning, the Immortal Flavor Fruit, didn’t let him taste much.

This Wind Eagle Meat—it sounded like no ordinary Spirit Beast. Spirit Beast Meat from the Immortal World… Zhou Yu thought about it and almost drooled. Take it. Take all of it.

“Senior, they say you have the ability to move heaven and earth. Could it be you don’t even dare to come and steal my things? Elder-Master Wu didn’t give you any good things, but I will. Come and steal them!”

Song Qingxiu kept mocking the possibly-existent Senior. In his view, this Senior was completely made up by Wu Tianhua. By saying these words, he was indirectly mocking Wu Tianhua.

Just as Song Qingxiu was still shouting non-stop, Uncle-Master Wu suddenly let out a hearty laugh. “Hah, Song Qingxiu, stop shouting. Take a look beside you. Your two boxes of Spirit Bees from the Divine Chef Villa and your half a body of Wind Eagle Meat are all gone! Hah!”

Hearing Uncle-Master Wu’s words, the scene fell silent for a moment. Then, sounds of astonishment arose. “Who is it? Which esteemed Senior has come to our Xuantian Sect? Please show yourself.” Elder Lü’s voice rang out now, full of tension.

“Sect Leader, all detection methods have completely failed to find any trace of this Senior.” Several voices sounded from the side at this moment. It seemed they had been waiting specifically for Zhou Yu’s appearance in order to use secret techniques to track his traces.

Song Qingxiu’s eyes widened in shock. He looked around himself in confusion. The two boxes of Spirit Bees and the half a body of Wind Eagle Meat that were just there moments ago had now completely vanished. “How is this possible? It can’t be. It can’t be! Give back my Spirit Bees! Give back my meat! Give back my meat! Wu Tianhua, you must be behind this!”

Although these two boxes of Spirit Bees and the Wind Eagle Meat weren’t considered extremely precious items, they had still cost him considerable effort to obtain. For them to simply vanish now was something he simply could not accept.

“Wu Tianhua, give back my Spirit Bees! Give back my meat!” Song Qingxiu rushed towards Uncle-Master Wu like a madman.

Uncle-Master Wu, however, gave a faint smile. He released his Spiritual Power to push him away. “Still saying I’m behind this? You truly don’t know your place. This Senior possesses Mastery of Creation. Even the Sect Leader and all the Elders cannot detect his traces. If I had such power, would I still be here watching over the Spirit Herb Garden?”
