The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The Supreme Sect has entered an unprecedented period of tranquility.

Those who received the inheritance all needed time to digest it, and the busiest ones were probably those who resigned themselves to cooking and Gui and Fengyi.

"Junior Martial Aunt has been staring at a chessboard for seven whole days, every single day. Doesn't she eat?"

Ni Jinxuan peeked out from the side window of the library and asked in a low voice.

Feng Yi patted her head. "She's in a meditative state. Don't worry about her."

Lin Du has already reached the Great Perfection of the Cloud Ascension Realm, so going a few days without food is no big deal for him.

Feng Yi came to confirm that she was still alive.

Lin Du has been meditating on the chessboard on the table every day, and has not uttered a single word for seven consecutive days. Apart from moving his hands on the chessboard, Lin Du has not been seen to move at all.

Ni Jinxuan seemed thoughtful. "Alright then, I'll go find Yan Qing to fight."

Just as Feng Yi was leaving with the child, she heard a loud explosion.

Her eyelids twitched, and she looked directly in the direction of Tianrui Peak. Sure enough...

Ni Jinxuan sighed, "It seems the fight is off."

Yan Qing and Yuan Ye have already flown towards Tianrui Peak. "Today you cut bamboo, and I'll build the roof."

"Your knife is fast, but I'm slow at sawing wood," Yuan Ye retorted.

"With one strike of my sword, our sect will have no bamboo forest left," Yan Qing stated the facts.

Yuan Ye was speechless and resignedly went to pick up the saw.

He Gui was still not used to the chaotic life of the Supreme Sect, so he rushed to Tianrui Peak and found that the children were very calm and each did their own job.

Xia Tianwu was holding a notebook recording his insights from this alchemy session, writing rapidly. Beside him were several pills with already visible alchemical patterns, gleaming with an eerie light like fish eyes.

Yan Qing was collecting the fragments of the broken alchemy furnace and cleaning up the crime scene.

Yuan Ye was cutting bamboo on the back hill, splitting it into usable pieces as he went.

Their skills were so adept that He Gui was completely useless. He was speechless for a moment, then turned to see Feng Yi rushing over. "Have they always been like this in the sect?"

Feng Yi crossed her arms and nodded slightly. "It's alright, they'll get used to it. They can handle it themselves."

Ni Jinxuan had already jumped to the ground and started helping to hand things over.

He Gui sighed, "It's really lively."

Feng Yi thought for a moment, "It's alright, it was more lively before."

She feels it's a bit too quiet now.

The reason for this was that Lin Du was in a meditative state.

After finishing a bucket of rice the day he returned, Lin Du remained in meditation in the library, not even returning to Luo Ze, as if he were permanently attached to the chessboard.

"Seventh Uncle, what are we having for lunch today?" Yuan Ye asked Feng Yi casually.

Feng Yi remained calm. "Stew, all in one pot."

This is all she knows how to do.

He Gui's eyes twitched. "How come I remember when you were a kid, you fed the pigs on the back mountain, and it was also a stew?"

Feng Yi turned to look at He Gui, "It's different. I add seasonings and oil to theirs, but I just use plain water to feed the pigs, and I don't even wash the vegetables."

He was speechless.

Yuan Ye suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth. When would his junior uncle finally finish his enlightenment?

More than a month later, He Gui was startled by another tremor. This time it seemed different from the explosion of the furnace; it was more like a mountain shaking. He stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then went outside.

He really hadn't adapted to the "peaceful life in the sect" that Feng Yi had mentioned.

However, this explosion did not originate from Tianrui Peak.

From the direction of the library, countless birds took flight, fluttering and soaring in the sky.

When He Gui arrived, he heard for the first time the deafening curses of the ancestor who had never appeared in the library.

"Don't test formations in the library!"

"If this happens again, you're banned from the library for a month!"

His junior sister was sitting on the stone steps at the foot of the hill, her white hair flying in the air. Everything seemed fine, except that the bottom of her robe was torn.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Lin Du's eyes slowly focused. Without looking up, he said weakly, "Sorry, I've been starving for too long, my hands were shaking a bit, the array energy shifted slightly, and it exploded."

He Gui hurriedly rescued the people and took them down the mountain to get some food. They were so hungry that their hands were shaking. This was unacceptable.

Three months later, a loud noise came from the back mountain, and the geese fled in panic in all directions.

He Gui flew desperately towards the back mountain, where he met the innocent gaze of his junior disciple.

"I didn't expect this bear demon to be so fragile." Ni Jinxuan said in a low voice, her expression frightened and her eyes filled with sorrow. "I accidentally destroyed its inner core... and then the goose pen fence was knocked down by the goose itself."

He Gui raised his hand to his forehead, "That bear demon has committed many sins, but it's alright. Let's hurry up and catch the goose."

This goose is extremely powerful, flies incredibly fast, and even pecks people; it's harder to catch than a pig.

The two of them spent the entire afternoon trying to catch bears, but to no avail. In the evening, they still had to figure out how to cook the bear meat.

Covered in bear and goose fur, He Gui returned and sent two urgent letters back to his clan to his ninth and tenth brothers who were traveling abroad.

Go back to the clan immediately! He can't handle this alone.

Training paused, back to work!

Thinking something terrible had happened, the two rushed back overnight. As soon as they returned to the sect, they heard a crackling sound.

"What's going on?" Qiu Ling was taken aback as she stood at the mountain gate.

"Perhaps...the firecrackers were set off to welcome us?" Mu Chen followed behind Qiu Ling, carrying a large bag of gifts, his expression indifferent.

The moment they entered the mountain gate, firecrackers went off incessantly, and then two young men, one in red and one in blue, shot out from the sky.

"So this is the kind of mechanical trick you're talking about! I finally managed to get it out of the mold, and the moment I hit it with the hammer, it all exploded!" Yan Qing chased after him relentlessly, hammer in hand.

"No! Is this my fault? I said this thing is suitable as a hairpin concealed weapon, but you insisted that nobody would buy it and wanted to change it into a sleeve dart!" Yuan Ye retorted without backing down. "Don't you know that in mechanical arts, one small change affects the whole system? I've already modified it, but you insisted on refining it again. Wouldn't it all explode if you hit it with a hammer?"

"You bastard, why didn't you tell me you'd changed beforehand! Let's go find our junior uncle and settle this score!"

Qiu Ling: ...

"These must be the same few apprentices from the Hundred Generations."

Mu Chen coughed and looked at the billowing black smoke rising from his second senior brother's peak. "You young man are really energetic."

"How many new disciples do we have?" Qiu Ling suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Mu Chen thought for a moment, "I heard that there are still six alive. Mo Lin has already established himself. It is said that the Fifth Senior Brother's disciples have personalities just like the Fifth Senior Brother. I guess there are only four younger ones."

"That's good," Qiu Ling said, relieved. There were only four of them. If they caused any more trouble, wouldn't their four senior uncles be able to control them? They might even blow up the mountain.

He Gui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lao Jiu and Lao Shi. "I thought your honeymoon was going to last a hundred years."

Mu Chen scratched his head sheepishly, "I do have that plan."

He Gui: ...Ah.

He said that finding a Daoist partner would delay his cultivation!

"You're back now. Go cook. Feng Yi made such slop that the kids' eyes are practically glowing green."

"What did you say?" Feng Yi landed silently behind He Gui.

"What I mean is, all they do is travel around and not do any work!" He Gui said sternly, scolding the people in front of him.

"Just a friendly reminder, for the past fifty years, the monthly wages for Dingjiu City have all been paid by our Liangchen Trading Company," Mu Chen said, arms crossed. "Originally, Senior Sister let us out to make money."

Just as He Gui was rebuffed, Feng Yi spoke up, "No, it's not that. It seems that our junior sister had Fei Xing send out the monthly allowance for a year."

After all, Mo Lin almost died back then, so they had to compensate him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen suddenly remembered, "Where is my junior sister? I heard she's not in good health, and Qiu Ling asked me to prepare a lot of rare and precious herbs."

He had barely finished speaking when a loud bang occurred.

The four looked at a small hill, which rose abruptly from the ground, much taller than before. Then, half of it was cut off, turning it into a strange thing that was neither a hill nor a peak.

A furious roar echoed through the sky, "Yuan Ye, Yan Qing! Didn't I tell you? I'm inscribing a great formation, don't disturb me! My Mountain-Breaking Formation is almost complete! Same old rule! Each of you washes the dishes for three months!"

All four of them felt a twitch in their eyelids at the same time.

Qiu Ling's expression was strange. "That voice...is it Junior Sister's?"

He Gui nodded, his smile warm. "Yes, welcome back to the peaceful life of the sect."
