The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder-Chapter 263 - Beiming Youyu’s Difficulty

Chapter 263– Beiming Youyu’s Difficulty

Before setting out, Xue Qilin volunteered to be in charge of odd jobs, which wasn’t just empty words.

After setting up the tent, she was also in charge of lighting the fire.

By relying on the convenience of magic, she finished this virtually effortlessly. In the eyes of the oblivious, she just snapped her fingers and the firewood ignited inexplicably.

This method is hundreds of times faster than tinder or flint. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter whether the firewood is dry enough or not when using this it. As a result, every time fire needs to be started, she will step in.

However, just lighting a fire and building a tent doesn’t seem to be enough to meet her determination to help. So she volunteered to be in charge of cooking.

— “do you know how to cook?”

Although Xia Xue expressed her doubt, but Xue Qilin still insisted. In fact, she has no cooking skills to speak of. But when sleeping outdoors, cooking skills aren’t that emphasized. With her years of grilling experience, she believes that she can play the part of a chef.

The ingredients are only composed of some vegetables and a few fish, which can probably only be used to make grilled fish and vegetable soup.

The fish have been processed by Li Wanting. Therefore, Xue Qilin first cut several deep marks into the fish with a knife, then skewered them on twigs and evenly applied salt, cumin, and other seasonings, and then finally took them to the campfire and started to grill them. Next, she threw the vegetables into a pot of water to cook and, when the water was about to start boiling, added salt and eggs.

While waiting for the food to be cooked, Xue Qilin joined the chat of Xia Xue and them.

However, the atmosphere is a little awkward.

Beiming Youyu, who isn’t taciturn, stayed silent for some reason, only quietly listening to their conversation. Is it because she’s unfamiliar with them? Xue Qilin tried to guide Beiming Youyu to join the conversation, but the other party just said a couple of lines and stopped.

This lasted for a while, until the grilled fish aroma mixed with cumin became rich. Thereupon, Xue Qilin shut up and poked a fish with a twig.

“It’s done!”

After finding out that the twig can easily poke into the fish, Xue Qilin judged the fish to be done. She picked up three skewers of fish and handed them to the eager Phecda, to herself, and to Beiming Youyu respectively.

“Little Fish, have some!”

Beiming Youyu didn’t take it right away. With a look of hesitation on her face, she carefully scrutinized the delicious looking and delicious smelling grilled fish in front of her. She originally didn’t seem to have any plans to stay for dinner. When Xue Qilin started the fire, she wanted say her goodbyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t endure Xue Qilin’s persuasion, which involved hard and soft tactics, she would have left long ago.

She doesn’t like it? When Xue Qilin had this guess, she was surprised to find that the other party’s ears are shaking slightly, while the tail is wagging left and right.

Judging by her appearance, it doesn’t look like she isn’t interested. Xue Qilin couldn’t contain herself, and queer laughter escaped her lips. Her mischievousness involuntarily came out, and she pretended to feel wronged, saying, “Since you don’t like my grilled fish, I’ll have to eat it myself!”

With that, she stuffed the grilled fish that she handed to Beiming Youyu into her mouth and bit away half of it. She forgot about the fish bones. As a result, when she just started chewing, fish bones stabbed into her gums, and she cried out in pain.

They watched in astonishment as Xue Qilin covered her mouth and jumped up and down, and then expressed helplessness in different ways.

“Xue Qilin, are you really that stupid, or are you just faking it?”

A faint smile tinged with suspicion appeared on her face, and Beiming Youyu deftly snatch away the other grilled fish from Xue Qilin’s hand. She took a small, elegant bite, tasting it unhurriedly.

Xue Qilin wanted to protest the other party’s behavior. However, since her mouth is full of fish bones, only muffled sounds came out of her mouth.

“Senior Beiming, our Young Ancestor is really rude.”

Xia Xue sighed, and then cupped her hands and apologized to Beiming Youyu. Beiming Youyu was stunned at first, and then shook her head quietly.

“Why are you guys so rigid?”

While pulling out fish bones out of her mouth, Xue Qilin said this in a somewhat indistinct voice. At the same time, she understood a little why Beiming Youyu didn’t want to stay.

Just like why she didn’t attend the Wulin Assembly meeting. As long as she is present, others can’t help but be conscious of her, unable to relax. Because she is aware of this, Beiming Youyu stayed quiet during the conversation just now and wanted to say her goodbyes before Xue Qilin and them had dinner.

Even Xia Xue doesn’t dare to slight Beiming Youyu, let alone others.

Maybe only the carefree Xue Qilin and the simple-minded Phecda can run amok in front of this sole Grandmaster of the Hua Dynasty.

Even if they relax a little, it would be futile. Xue Qilin suddenly had a headache.

What to do? Annoyed with this awkward atmosphere, she racked her brains to think about how to break this predicament. At the same time, she misses Shui Yun’er, who is best at dealing with such things.

— if Little Yun were here, it should be easy to harmonize the atmosphere…

While thinking this in disappointment, Xue Qilin felt her own inadequacy. As she was worrying, her eyes unconsciously fell on Xia Xue’s sword placed beside her.

… sword?

Xue Qilin had a light-bulb moment and clapped her hands excitedly, attracting everyone’s attention. Xue Qilin turned towards Beiming Youyu.

“Little Fish! Didn’t you just tell me you want to buy some weapons from us?”

“Wha –”

When Beiming Youyu, who subconsciously wanted to reply with a question, saw that Xue Qilin is sending her signals with her eyes, she was taken aback, and then coughed.

“Yes.”

Probably because she isn’t used to lying, Beiming Youyu’s tone is a little stiff.

When she heard that Beiming Youyu wants to by weapons from the Merak Temple, Xia Xue’s eyes lit up, giving off the illusion that they have turned into copper coins.

Li Wanting looks quite excited and expectant, with her whole face being flushed.

In order to complete the order, she naturally needs to forge more weapons. For her, who takes pleasure in it, this is most welcome.

“Senior Beiming, do you really want to buy weapons from us? What type do you want? Do you need finished or semi-finished articles?”

Xia Xue rushed to in front of Beiming Youyu like a gust of wind and asked a series of questions. Although she is trying to act calm and collected, but the rushed tone still betrayed her, proving that she is excited.

In a rare fashion, Beiming Youyu showed a bewildered expression, and then glanced at Xue Qilin, seeking help. Xue Qilin just whistled and ignored her.

“Well… I want some… probably?”

“Really?” Xia Xue’s eyes seemed to change into silver certificates from copper coins, “Senior Beiming, give me a moment!”

With that, she drilled into the tent. As she looked for who knows what, a series of noises came from the tent.
