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

When Lin Du came out, it was time to cook dinner, so she went straight to the kitchen.

Today, Qiu Ling was supposed to be in charge, but she was diagnosed with pregnancy a while ago. Mu Chen didn't want her to overwork, so Lin Du just sent a message and took over the job himself.

Although Lin Du no longer needs to eat, his other junior disciples and Han Yueling, who, although not needing to eat, still want to grind her teeth, still need to eat.

Lin Du's cooking portions increased rather than decreased.

When Ni Jinxuan smelled the long-lost aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs, she practically jumped into the kitchen.

Within the sect, only Lin Du likes to cook sweet and sour dishes; no one else can cook them as well as she does.

"Junior Uncle!!!"

Lin Du was still busy. "You're here? Wash your hands and have a few bites first. I saved the best piece of rib from the middle for you."

Only when her junior uncle cooked did Ni Jinxuan receive this open and legitimate special treatment.

"Master brought back a junior brother," Ni Jinxuan said after finishing her ribs. "Junior Uncle, what was the telepathic message you sent to my master?"

Lin Du didn't hide anything, "I thought you would open it and take a look before handing it over to your master."

"I left him a message saying, 'Senior brother, you have to believe that you have already used up all the luck you have in this life to find a disciple, such as Mo Lin, who has a natural spiritual bone, and Jin Xuan, who is a woman of great fortune. Your judgment is unreliable except when you are drinking and fighting. If you meet someone who is very agreeable in every way but suddenly appears out of place, you should reflect on whether you have not kept your eyes open.'"

"If you insist on taking them, that's fine too. Bring them back and see if they're wolves or thoroughbreds. If there's a problem, we can trap them and beat them to a pulp. We can also find out what forces are plotting against us, then kill them and hang them in front of the mastermind, so they can see that we're not to be trifled with."

As she spoke, she glanced back at Ni Jinxuan, "I was in a hurry when I left, so my tone was a bit harsh. You noticed something was off?"

"It's just too much of a coincidence." Ni Jinxuan hadn't grown much over the years, and in the Wushang Sect, where the average altitude was extremely high, she appeared particularly petite. She counted on her fingers carefully, "The first one was that everyone in that village had died, leaving him as the only survivor."

"Even if I'm incredibly lucky, the demons won't just leave me alone; they'll attack everyone else."

"The second thing is that he wanted to become an apprentice and learn skills right away, but he didn't think about collecting his mother's body. Yuan Ye has so many orders every year and makes so many different coffins. Not to mention great masters, even the nearby villages and towns believe in burial for peace, even if it's just a cenotaph. But he just followed us to the afterlife."

Lin Du looked at Ni Jinxuan with the satisfaction of a loving mother; this child deserved three sweet and sour pork ribs and a bowl of spicy pig brain.

"However... he followed us for a day without any abnormalities. He eagerly did everything and acted perfectly. Even when our senior brother asked him to swing his sword a thousand times, his arm trembled but he didn't utter a sound."

Ni Jinxuan sighed, "I hope there's really nothing wrong with him. He's quite good-looking."

Lin Du raised an eyebrow slightly, but said nothing more. "Serve the food."

On their first day at the Supreme Sect, even without a title or status, new disciples are still entitled to a good meal.

Just as Lin Du carried the last dish out, he bumped into the newly promoted "junior nephew" who wanted to help. He was dressed in a black outfit, which was probably Mo Lin's old clothes and didn't fit him very well.

But this young man did indeed have a handsome appearance, despite the unhealed wound on his forehead. His appearance was exceptionally refined and gorgeous, unlike any other disciple in the sect.

This reminded Lin Du of the visual impact of his first meeting with Wei Zhi, except that Wei Zhi was more mature and restrained. After all, he was a Buddhist cultivator, and he did not have the fragility or the femininity that comes with being too delicate. His aura always concealed a heavy pressure beneath his calm and relaxed demeanor.

Qi Zhen had just offered to help and was heading towards the kitchen when he bumped into a blue-robed cultivator carrying a large bowl of rice. His face was probably all too familiar to people on the border of Zhongzhou by now.

Because he had once seen through the demon's grand formation and won first place in the Central Plains Grand Competition, the people were eager for protection from the frequent harassment and disguise of the demon. They regarded Lin Du's portrait as a door god and prayed to him devoutly every day, hoping that the demon that had infiltrated the crowd would be exposed as soon as possible.

You can find portraits or even wood carvings of Lin Du at the stalls in the border town, and the business is booming.

Although the portrait has become distorted over time, the eyes that seem to see right through people are almost identical to the real person's.

Qi Zhen was drawn into a pair of eyes as deep as a pool. He subconsciously reached out to catch her, but accidentally touched Lin Du's fingers.

Who knew that such a brief touch would cause a wave of dizziness and turmoil in my soul, and then I subconsciously let go. Because my stomach was empty, I turned my head and dry heaved a few times.

Lin Du: ...?

The others in the room looked over strangely.

Lin Du looked at Ni Jinxuan beside him with disbelief. "Am I that repulsive? Or is this junior apprentice not used to the kitchen fumes? Did they bother him?"

Ni Jinxuan frowned. "Junior Uncle is the most handsome man in the world! How could it be because of Junior Uncle!"

Besides, their kitchen has very little oily smell, and Lin Du hates unclean smells the most, so he always applies cleaning tips several times.

Lin Du placed the rice bowl on the table. "Alright, let's eat."

Xia Tian dragged her to the kitchen and said, "Drink your medicine."

To avoid any trickery, it's best for Junior Uncle to take the medicine alone.

Lin Du was somewhat desperate. "I actually..."

"Yes, Master said it's good for health and the condition is right. I just need to go see him again to take my pulse."

Lin Du tilted his head back and gulped it down, clean and decisive.

Yuan Ye and Yan Qing rushed in from outside. "Junior Uncle, thank goodness, at least Master let us eat on time today."

As they talked, they glanced at the slender boy who had suddenly appeared in the room, and paused for a moment, wondering, "Whose child is this?"

Ni Jinxuan now has a lot of complaints about this "junior brother". No good person in the world would want to vomit at the sight of junior uncle! She has been looking at him for many years and still can't get enough!

Qi Zhen had just recovered from the dizziness and was about to greet his two senior brothers with a smile when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Just like that, Qi Zhen started vomiting again.

Lin Du: ?

Yan Qing and Yuan Ye: ?

Good heavens, what did they see? Junior Uncle just wanted that kid to move aside, why did that kid vomit?

Lin Du silently withdrew his hand, then tentatively patted Xia Tianwu's shoulder, and then patted Yan Qing and Yuan Ye's shoulders, and nothing happened.

Qi Zhen's eyes reddened, and he hurriedly explained, "Uncle-Master, I wasn't talking to you... I probably just saw the meat, smelled the blood in the kitchen, and thought about how everyone in our village was eaten by demons, so that's why I did that. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Lin Du stared intently at his tearful, clenched fists, seemingly in great pain, and chuckled softly, "Is that so?"

Her voice rang out in the dining hall, where no one dared to speak at that moment. In her usual gentle and tender tone, she said, "So you're disgusted by the smell of blood? That's pitiful. I'll get you some vegetables and steamed buns separately, and find you a quiet place to eat?"

Qi Zhen met Lin Du's calm yet penetrating gaze, which was like a cold blade. Suddenly, he felt extremely troubled and unable to cope. In the end, he could only apologize and thank him repeatedly, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks and turned to leave.

The atmosphere inside the room became lively again. Lin Du sat in the main seat, lost in thought; something was amiss.

That reaction wasn't faked.

The moment it is touched, the other person begins to feel dizzy.

According to the general plot of her past life that she knew, this Qi Zhen was the Demon Lord, but the original text did not say that the Demon Lord would act this way when he saw her.

Even her fully integrated Snow Spirit body did not have this effect.
