...
The sun was fast setting.
Cheng Mingyi and Li Weijin from the Hengshan Sect, who were 'helping' in the kitchen, had been sent away by Lao Denuo, allowing the second senior brother of the Huashan Sect to enter the kitchen with ease.
"Second senior brother~!"
The person in the kitchen greeted Lao Denuo as soon as they saw him.
Lao Denuo nodded and asked,
"Is the soup ready for tonight?"
"Almost."
The disciple pointed at the large pot and said, "The lamb bone soup is still simmering, it'll be milky white soon."
Lao Denuo leaned closer to look, stirred it a few times with the soup ladle,
"The fire's not strong enough, add some more firewood."
The disciple from the Huashan Sect was slightly confused but didn't argue.
"Alright."
He responded and ran towards the back of the stove.
A sly smile appeared on Lao Denuo's face, for who from the Huashan Sect would suspect him.
