After an intense food battle, the table was left in a complete mess, with Lufan emerging as the clear winner, having consumed more than half of the food by himself.
Despite this, he still felt unsatisfied, thinking he was only about seventy percent full. Unfortunately, there was nothing left in the kitchen, except for a little that Fatty had saved for himself.
As for the others, they were slumped in their chairs, utterly stuffed. Looking at Lufan was like watching a monster draped in human skin.
Was he even human? He must have eaten over a hundred pounds of Primordial Meat and still seemed unfazed, as if he hadn't eaten enough; he could eat even more than a pig!
They had no idea that with Lufan's rising strength, his body had become more powerful, and his internal organs' absorption capacity had grown increasingly formidable. The food he consumed could be quickly transformed into nutrients with just a bit of movement in his stomach.
Moreover, with his increasingly proficient use of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, he could refine these nutrients into pure energy to replenish his body's potential, allowing him to eat more.
Unlike Duanmu Xue and the others, who also had strong bodies and good digestion but lacked the refining ability of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, they couldn't quickly convert food into vital energy, so they couldn't compare to Lufan.
Seeing them like this made Fatty feel proud; as a chef, this scene was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement.
On the other hand, Duanmu Xue and her companions felt embarrassed, especially the three girls, who blushed at the thought of how ungraceful they had looked earlier.
After a while, once the table was cleaned up and everyone sat down again, they prepared to discuss serious matters.
Everyone's expression turned serious, but for a moment, no one knew who should speak first or what topic to start with.
After a brief silence, Lufan decided to ask Fatty: "Can you tell me now where Xiao Ling went?"
Fatty's face turned sour, knowing he couldn't avoid the question any longer, but he was a bit afraid that if he told the truth, Xiao Fan would get angry.
Seeing Fatty like this, Duanmu Xue and the others were puzzled. How could Lufan not know about Xiao Ling?
"What? You still don't know that Xiao Ling was taken away by the Qinglian Fairy?" Duanmu Xue asked Lufan.
Taken away? Lufan's expression darkened immediately as he looked at the somewhat flustered Fatty. "Fatty, what is going on?"
He felt something was off. What could possibly make Fatty allow someone to take Xiao Ling away? It was known that despite Fatty's usually cheerful demeanor, he would fight anyone for his sister.
Under Lufan's intense gaze, Fatty could only lower his head and say, "More than a month ago, a beautiful woman whom everyone called the Qinglian Fairy said that Xiao Ling's constitution was very special and suitable for practicing their sect's Secret Technique. She hoped to take her back as a disciple."
"And you just let her take her away so easily?" Lufan asked in disbelief.
"Of course not. At first, Xiao Ling and I thought she was a fraud and didn't pay her any attention. But it seemed that the woman was indeed a significant figure; I even saw people from the city lord's mansion treating her with utmost respect. As for her identity, I didn't understand it well, but Miss Duanmu and the others should know more."
Seeing Lufan looking over, Duanmu Xue explained, "The Qinglian Fairy is one of the most outstanding disciples of the super Sect, Piaomiao Sect. This time she passed through Qingyang City and discovered that Xiao Ling's constitution was very suitable for practicing their Piaomiao Sect's Mind Technique, so she wanted to recruit her into their sect.
The inheritance of Piaomiao Sect is quite unique; only those with special constitutions can cultivate it. They have very few core disciples in their sect, but correspondingly, each core disciple of Piaomiao Sect is an extremely powerful individual, considered a leader among practitioners of their generation."
Seeing that Lufan remained unconvinced, Duanmu Xue couldn't help but say, "Lufan, you don't need to be like this. For Xiao Ling to be accepted as a disciple by Piaomiao Sect, and even as a core disciple, is her fortune. If it weren't for her special constitution, she wouldn't have had such luck.
You don't know what being part of a super Sect means; every day countless people cry and scramble to join Piaomiao Sect but cannot.
Not to mention core disciples; whenever Piaomiao Sect recruits ordinary disciples, countless people will fight tooth and nail just to secure a spot. From this, you should understand how strong the allure of a super Sect is."
Lufan remained noncommittal. Having received the inheritance from Fuzong, he certainly understood what a super Sect meant; it represented a clear path to becoming a powerful individual.
However, that was not his primary concern. He turned to Fatty and asked, "Setting aside whether these people's identities are accurate, I only want to ask one thing: does Xiao Ling herself want this? Did those people force her? Also, why didn't they take you along?"
This was also a point of confusion for Lufan. From what he knew about Xiao Ling, she would never abandon Fatty to join some elusive Sect, no matter how powerful it claimed to be; it would hold no appeal for her.
Fatty answered cautiously, "At first, Xiao Ling was unwilling. I insisted that she go."
"Fatty!" Lufan exploded in anger. He had suspected the problem lay with Fatty. Given Xiao Ling's personality, if Fatty hadn't pushed her to leave, there was no way she would willingly part from her brother after so many years together.
"What was your reasoning? Don't tell me it was to ensure a better life for Xiao Ling. If that's truly the case, watch out because I'll hit you!"
Fatty lowered his head even further. Seeing this, Lufan realized that the idiot really thought that way. His anger surged again as he shouted:
"Have you lost your mind? Don't you know that for Xiao Ling, being with you is her greatest happiness? Everything else means nothing to her!
And now look at what you've done! You've shoved her off to that ridiculous Sect, leaving her all alone. Have you even considered how she feels? I bet she left crying!"
Looking at the silent and downcast Fatty, Lufan knew he had guessed correctly again and felt an overwhelming urge to beat him up.
The others watched in shock at Lufan's furious reaction. They never expected him to respond this way.
In their eyes, becoming a core disciple of the elusive Sect was an incredible stroke of luck. Anyone in such a situation would be overjoyed and eager to follow along; their friends and family would only feel envy and wish they could take their place, not react like the two before them.
But now, with Fatty looking dejected and Lufan fuming with rage, it became clear from their conversation that even Xiao Ling had no desire to become a disciple of the elusive Sect.
In the eyes of these three, the super sect that everyone else eagerly pursued held no appeal at all!
Seeing that Lufan was about to lash out, several people quickly stepped in to stop him. What kind of people were these? It had started as a good thing, but how had it turned into this?
Just as they were restraining Lufan, Fatty suddenly lifted his head, his eyes red: "At first, Xiao Ling was unwilling to leave at all. She said she would wait for you to come back. Everyone thought you had met with misfortune, but she alone refused to believe it. She insisted that you would be fine and would return soon.
Even when the Qinglian Fairy and others took her to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains to look for you, she still wouldn't believe it.
Later, when the Qinglian Fairy grew impatient waiting, she tricked Xiao Ling into saying that if she really wanted to find you, she should return to the sect with her. As long as she learned the secret methods of their sect, she could freely enter and exit the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
The Qinglian Fairy even asked me to help deceive her. As a result, Xiao Ling truly believed it and agreed to go with them to the Miaomiao Sect. She said that once she became stronger, she would come back to find you. If you really had been harmed, she would kill all those bandits.
Did you think I was willing to let Xiao Ling go? Because of her constitution, Xiao Ling's health has always been weak. The Qinglian Fairy said that if she didn't cultivate their sect's secret methods, Xiao Ling's body would become even weaker in the future!
Unless there were large amounts of Primordial Food or similar items available later on, she might even weaken to the point of death! I'm just a lowly servant; what can I do? I can't do anything at all!
I'm just a useless person who can only watch helplessly as my sister leaves. Knowing full well that you're in danger outside, I can only feel powerless, not even daring to step out of the city!"
As Fatty spoke more passionately, he eventually shouted out loud.
Lufan's body suddenly stiffened!
