The appearance of Dongfang Yao and the other two women naturally did not escape the notice of Dongfang Jing and Bi Ji.
The master and disciple trembled simultaneously, but quickly regained their composure and remained still.
Dongfang Jing turned to look at the three of them and said, "You're here? Go pick out a room and unpack your luggage first. I'll cook a big meal later."
Even with the temptation of delicious food,
But that still couldn't divert Dongfang Yao's attention.
She pointed to the two people holding hands in front of her, without saying a word.
Dongfang Jing explained, "My hand suddenly hurts a little, and Master is healing me."
Then he said to Biji, "Thank you, Master. I'm not in pain anymore. You should go and rest now."
Brigitte nodded and silently walked into the villa.
Dongfang Jing then looked at his younger sister and asked with a smile, "What? Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to cook."
After saying that, Dongfang Jing also entered the villa.
In the kitchen,
As Dongfang Jing chopped the ingredients for dinner, she could always feel the suspicious gaze coming from her younger sister behind her.
However,
Dongfang Jing did not want to explain his true feelings to his pure and innocent sister.
I can't tell her,
Little sister, your brother here is being incredibly disrespectful, having designs on his own master!
In this way,
It would absolutely ruin the image of her brother as a great figure in her sister's mind.
The villa has an elegant exterior.
The interior, however, blends modern and classical styles and has three floors in total.
The room has been arranged.
The second floor is occupied by the younger generation, including Dongfang Yao, Wang Qiu'er, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
The third floor was the residence of elders such as Ah Yin, Bi Ji, Xue Di, and Bing Di.
Dongfang Jing himself naturally chose a room on the third floor.
The official reason given was that it was to make it easier to ask Master Biji for advice on cultivation issues at any time, and also to better fulfill the filial duty of a disciple.
Although Dongfang Jing believed he had concealed the truth perfectly.
But what an intelligent girl Dongfang Yao was?
Taking advantage of the time before dinner was served, she quietly pulled Wang Qiu'er aside and dragged her to the second-floor balcony.
"Qiu'er, I have a question for you. Answer me honestly." Dongfang Yao's expression was more serious than ever before.
Wang Qiu'er was a little confused by her appearance, but she still nodded.
"My brother... does he like Sister Biji?" Dongfang Yao lowered her voice, her beautiful starry eyes fixed on Wang Qiu'er's reaction.
Wang Qiu'er was taken aback at first, then pouted: "I thought you were going to say something."
With an air of "You're only just realizing this?" she readily admitted, "Yeah, so what? Did you see anything?"
boom!
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Dongfang Yao froze, her mind going completely blank.
After a brief moment of shock, an indescribable surge of joy welled up inside me.
This fact, instead of making her feel jealous or uneasy, filled her with a strange sense of excitement!
The girl fell in love with a boy she shouldn't have, and she has always felt guilty about it.
She originally thought that Dongfang Jing was a blockhead who was clueless about relationships.
Old-fashioned thinking, adhering to outdated rules.
She was always worried that her feelings would bother the other person.
It would make him feel like a bad girl.
But now,
When she discovered that her brother was also going down a rebellious path, her guilt vanished instantly.
The shackles that bound my heart have been broken!
So, we're the same kind of people!
What else is there to worry about?
This ignited an unprecedented fighting spirit within Dongfang Yao.
Their confidence in taking down Dongfang Jing instantly increased!
but,
Now is not the time to think about these things.
Dongfang Yao's curiosity was completely piqued.
She now desperately wants to know what kind of woman this senior, Brigitte, is who has won her brother's heart.
In the living room on the first floor of the villa, a long table made of thousand-year-old agarwood sat quietly, its astonishing length enough to accommodate everyone present for a meal at the same time.
Edmund and Ning Fengzhi spent a considerable amount of money trying to please Dongfang Jing.
All the furniture in this villa is high-end.
While waiting for the meal, the girls sat around the long table, chatting with each other, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up as they got to know their future teammates.
Dongfang Yao sat down next to Biji, a sweet and obedient smile on her face.
"Sister Biji, has my brother caused you any trouble in the Star Dou Great Forest all these years? Has he done anything unusual? He's a quiet person sometimes, and he doesn't talk much."
She began to probe from the sidelines, trying to find a clue about Brigitte's attitude towards her brother from her words.
Brigitte was holding a cup of tea.
Upon hearing this, she smiled gently.
She raised her hand and gently stroked Dongfang Yao's hair, the gesture intimate and natural.
Brigitte would naturally dote on her apprentice's adorable younger sister.
"How could that be? Little Mirror is very sensible and caring. With him around, the forest is much more lively."
"Of course there are special things. He really loves cooking, and he even built his own wooden house and decorated the surroundings beautifully. You already know who we are, so to me, every little thing my disciple does is special."
Brigitte's answer was impeccable and her tone was gentle.
This both praised Dongfang Jing and expressed her affection for him.
However, this affection is perfectly kept within the boundaries of teacher-student and elder relationships.
Dongfang Yao couldn't detect any extra emotion in his voice.
She felt as if her punch had landed on cotton.
'Senior Brigitte's cultivation is too profound!'
Just as Dongfang Yao was about to change the question and continue probing,
A rich aroma of food suddenly wafted out from the direction of the kitchen.
The fragrance was incredibly overpowering, relentlessly penetrating everyone's nasal cavity.
In a short time,
All conversations in the living room fell silent.
All the girls' attention was drawn to the food.
"It smells so good..." Ning Rongrong took a deep sniff, feeling her stomach rumbling with anticipation.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also looked on with curiosity, as they had never smelled such an enticing aroma before.
Even the aloof Snow Empress and Ice Empress couldn't help but look towards the kitchen.
soon,
Dongfang Jing and A Yin, who was helping out, came out carrying huge trays.
They placed the dishes one by one on the long table.
"Spicy chicken, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, sweet and sour pork, Mapo tofu, eggplant with garlic sauce..."
As Dongfang Jing introduced the dishes, one tempting plate after another was presented to everyone.
These are home-style dishes that most of the people present had never heard of before.
Just one glance was enough to make their mouths water.
"Don't be shy, try it and see if it suits your taste," Dongfang Jing said, taking off her apron.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Di was the first to pick up her chopsticks.
She picked up a piece of glistening, trembling braised pork and put it in her mouth.
The meat melts in your mouth, rich yet not greasy, and the savory-sweet sauce explodes on your taste buds.
The complex and delicious flavor, unlike anything he had ever experienced before, made Xue Di's beautiful, sky-blue eyes widen instantly.
Seeing this, Hyotei, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Mapo Tofu with his chopsticks.
The smooth tofu, accompanied by a spicy and savory flavor, slid down her throat, and the stimulating and addictive sensation sent a shiver down her spine.
"Bing'er, try this!"
"Mmm! This is so delicious! I can't believe there's such delicious food in the world!"
The two rulers from the far north temporarily set aside their reserve and, like two children who hadn't eaten for days, began a frenzied sweep with their chopsticks.
The other girls saw their reactions,
I thought to myself, these dishes are delicious, but aren't the two seniors being a bit too extravagant?
no way,
In places like the far north, which are all ice and snow and not even as good as forests, what good food could you possibly have?
The meal was eaten with great enthusiasm and was devoured in a whirlwind.
The dishes on the table disappeared at a visible speed, and everyone's face was filled with satisfaction and enjoyment.
After dinner, the table was quickly cleaned up.
The atmosphere inside the villa gradually shifted from relaxed and pleasant to serious.
Sitting in the main seat, Dongfang Jing looked around at the group of women, especially unfamiliar faces like Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing.
He cleared his throat.
"Welcome to Purple Star Academy. Thank you for being friends with Yao'er."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Dongfang Jing, my martial soul is Shattered Mirror, and I am a level 64 agility-attack type battle soul emperor."
"Now you can ask any questions you have, and I will answer them as appropriate."
