Chapter 128 - 126: Gossip King Qingming

"No way!"

Lu Heng shook his head and insisted, "I must treat everyone to this porridge!"

"Let’s set it for noon. I’ll go to the cafeteria to prepare the porridge later."

"Anyone who doesn’t come is disrespecting me, and we don’t need to be brothers anymore!"

Among their generation of disciples, apart from a few, most of them were orphans.

And since they had all stayed on the mountain for so long, most of these brothers were quite naive.

If you don’t push these honest guys, they really won’t come!

After seeing too many hypocrites, these silly brothers were just too adorable!

"Well... alright then!"

Seeing Lu Heng had said so much, Qingling had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"See you at noon!"

After agreeing on the time with Qingling, Lu Heng returned to his room to have breakfast.

He pondered the question while eating.

Zhenyuan is preparing to take disciples; who spread this rumor?

Qingling just said he heard it from Xuan Tong...

But why did it not seem like Xuan Tong would do such a thing?

Not long ago, Xuan Tong, and Xuanxin were just reprimanded by "Zhenyuan," so they shouldn’t have the guts to spread such a rumor, right?

"In this calm, there seems to be some ripples again!"

After finishing the last bun, Lu Heng took out three pounds of Immortal Crystal Rice and a bottle of Spirit Water from the system space.

Around ten o’clock, he headed straight to the cafeteria with these items.

"Qingfeng, you’re here!"

Inside the cafeteria stood a chubby Daoist, who greeted him with a hearty smile.

"Hello, Brother Qingyuan!"

Lu Heng also wore a smile on his face.

This chubby Daoist, known by the name Qingyuan, was the disciple of his frugal uncle Xuanzhen.

Looking at his physique, it was easy to guess that Qingyuan was in charge of the cafeteria.

"In the morning, Qingling told me; brother, I specially reserved a stove for you."

Qingyuan led Lu Heng to the west side of the stove, where a large rice cooker was placed.

"Thank you, Brother!"

After expressing his gratitude, Lu Heng poured the Immortal Crystal Rice into the pot.

Qingyuan glanced at it and praised, "This rice is truly worthy of being called Immortal Rice, so crystal-clear."

Then, he asked, "Do you know how this Immortal Rice is grown, junior brother?"

"No idea!"

Lu Heng glanced at him and shook his head as he added water.

"I feel that such Immortal Rice can’t be grown by ordinary people!"

Qingyuan licked his lips and was about to say something when someone else walked in.

Lu Heng looked up to see that it was Brother Qingming!

"Junior brother, you really are here!"

"The Sect Leader uncle just sent Qingyue to find you, but that little girl couldn’t find you anywhere. She’s searching the whole mountain now!"

Qingming laughed.

"What does my master want with me?"

Lu Heng asked curiously.

"What else could it be about?"

"Of course, it’s about those two Xuan-generation uncles of ours."

Qingming pouted, grabbing a cucumber from Qingyuan, and said while chewing it, "The two of them heard somewhere that Taoist Zhenyuan is preparing to take disciples and want the Sect Leader uncle to put in a good word for them."

"They didn’t even stop to think if the Taoist Zhenyuan would be interested in the people they brought."

"By the way, I heard from Qingyue that last time when the Sect Leader uncle and the others went to see Taoist Zhenyuan, those two were struck by lightning from Taoist Zhenyuan?"

"Yes, it’s true!"

Lu Heng nodded.

"Serves them right!"

"If I were the Sect Leader, I’d kick those two scoundrels out of the Shangqing Tao."

"Who knows how much they have tarnished the reputation of our Shangqing Tao."

"Either they’re messing with models or consecrating female celebrities, it’s disgusting!"

Qingming shook his head and criticized.

"I don’t understand either why our master keeps them."

Lu Heng also felt puzzled.

"Junior brother, did you know those two scoundrels brought five children?"

Qingming whispered.

"Qingling mentioned it briefly when dropping me off this morning."

Lu Heng replied.

"Among those five kids, two are Xuan Tong’s illegitimate sons, and one is Xuanxin’s."

"The other two are said to be the grandsons of two wealthy tycoons from the Celestial Sea."

Qingming said mysteriously.

Oh my! Lu Heng was startled by this revelation.

This Brother Qingming truly lives up to the title of the gossip king on the mountain!

He really could find out anything!

Seeing his expression, Qingming chuckled and said, "Xuan Tong kept two mistresses outside; those two kids were born to them."

"And the mother of Xuanxin’s child is actually a married woman."

"That woman hooked up with Xuanxin because of Shangqing Tao’s reputation."

"A while ago, her husband found out. To avoid implicating Xuanxin, she left everything behind and took her child..."

This truly was a tattoo artist showing off in front of me! (An expression indicating being overwhelmed or impressed)

Lu Heng was tempted to ask, Brother Qingming, do you also have a Celestial Destiny System?

Otherwise, how could you know so much in detail?

"Brother, where did you hear all this?"

Lu Heng asked, full of curiosity.

"To be honest, junior brother, I’ve self-studied computer hacking knowledge for over ten years."

"Though I may not be top-tier, hacking into the computers of those two scoundrels is still quite easy for me."

Qingming lowered his voice as he spoke.

Awesome!

Lu Heng couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

Before Qingfeng’s death, his personality was somewhat introverted and isolated, so he didn’t know much about these brotherly disciples.

Only after getting close to them did he realize they were all hidden treasures!

"Junior brother, if you ever need anything, just come to me."

"As long as it’s not a state secret, I can even get you a photo of the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader."

Qingming promised, patting his chest.

While the two of them chatted, the porridge water in the pot began to boil.

Even though there was more water than rice, the enticing fragrance of the rice was still rich, gradually filling the air.

"It smells so good!"

"I didn’t believe it before when Qingling mentioned it!"

Qingming sniffed hard, almost drooling.

Last time Lu Heng cooked porridge, Qingming had already gone to the Taiyi Dao and wasn’t present.

This was his first time smelling the aroma of the Immortal Crystal Rice.

On the other side, Qingyuan was also swallowing his saliva.

"The Immortal Crystal Rice is limited, so later everyone might only get a small bowl."

Lu Heng looked at the pot of watery porridge and said helplessly.

"Junior brother, you’re thinking about it the wrong way; this is Immortal Rice!"

"Even the top tycoons rarely get to taste it."

"Even a small bowl or a small bite is enough to satisfy us!"

Qingming shook his head and corrected him.
