Chapter 521: Chapter 9 Handling Demonic Beast_1
The rich aroma of wine was wafting in the air.
In Wang Ba’s heart, he couldn’t help but get apprehensive.
A sudden feeling of dread welled up.
The old man in front of him was completely different from the drunkard he was just a moment ago.
Dignified and austere, the aura of the Nascent Soul stage was completely unabashed!
There was no trace of drunkenness left.
And this sort of demeanor was clearly not that of someone who had a good relationship with Yao Wudi.
“Could it be… he was also one of those who got beaten up by my Master?”
Wang Ba’s heart pounded uncontrollably.
Facing the suppression of the old man’s spiritual energy, Zhang Bao’s face instantly turned pale.
Although he was not fully aware of the situation, he immediately shouted:
“Vice Minister He, this order was given by Hall Master Fei himself!”
“Uncle Fei… So he really is Yao Wudi’s disciple?”
The wrinkles on the old man’s face twisted in anger:
“Yao Wudi, he’s really too much!”
“Too much!”
“It was bad enough when he bullied me earlier! Now he’s even sending his disciple to bully me!”
“Do they really think the Spirit Food Department is a place where they can just dump anyone in!”
“You take him and leave right away! The Spirit Food Department is not a place for freeloaders!”
He was so infuriated that even the sparse strands of hair on his head stood up.
Hearing his words, Wang Ba’s face darkened.
He couldn’t help but want to back off.
Working under a superior who had conflicts with his Master, even if he managed to enter the Spirit Food Department, he would be faced with endless troubles.
Although he found this place to his liking, he saw no need to suffer in silence.
The best approach was to stay far away from this man.
But Zhang Bao’s face was filled with difficulty:
“Vice Minister He, you should know that the decrees of the Hall Master can only be overridden by Elders or the Sect Master. It is our rule…”
“What a bullshit rule! It doesn’t matter who comes, it won’t work!”
The old man shouted in anger: “If you don’t take him and leave, I will personally see to it that he leaves!”
However, facing the old man’s fierce anger, Zhang Bao’s face was full of bitterness, but he still stood in front of Wang Ba, eyes meeting the old man’s gaze, without retreating a step.
“Vice Minister He, you can’t possibly want to go against Hall Master Fei’s orders, can you?”
The old man glared at Zhang Bao, his gaze as cold as ice.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
The cultivators of the Spirit Food Department, who had been lazing around initially, sensing the commotion, got up one after another and gathered behind the old man.
Seeing this, Wang Ba wanted to tell Zhang Bao to just pick another job.
However, at that moment, an unknown figure, which had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appeared at the old man’s side.
On seeing this figure, the cultivators below exclaimed in surprise:
“Minister!”
The old man also looked at the newcomer in surprise:
“Senior Brother Cui, how come you are back so soon?”
The Minister of the Spirit Food Department?
Wang Ba’s heart jolted and quickly looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared.
The figure was dressed in a wide robe and was somewhat short and thin. He looked like a man in his forties.
His gaze swept over Wang Ba and the old man, eyebrows slightly furrowing:
“What’s the matter?”
Before the old man could reply, Zhang Bao quickly explained the situation.
“Minister Cui, that’s what happened. When Vice Minister He heard he is a disciple of Grandmaster Yao from Wanfa Peak, he suddenly ordered me to take him away. This is an order from Hall Master Fei himself, I dare not disobey. You have to be the judge here.”
The middle-aged man glanced at the old man, who was red with anger, pondered for a moment, and then advised:
“Junior brother, why bring up this matter with the younger generation…”
“Senior brother, are you also going to persuade me?”
The old man was angered:
“Yao Wudi used to bully me before, and now he sent a disciple who is as unqualified as him. What does this mean? Can you really tolerate it, senior brother?”
“Well… perhaps you’re overthinking things because you’ve drunk too much. Get yourself sobered up quickly and come help me deal with that Class IV Demonic Beast.”
The middle-aged man deliberately changed the subject.
“Well… But I’m not good at dealing with Demonic Beasts…”
The old man, hearing this, was indeed distracted and a challenging look appeared on his face.
He was from the Spirit Liquor Lineage, known for using various spirit plants to make wine and advancing his cultivation base. The better the wine he brewed, the more beneficial it was to his cultivation base.
Spirit wine is also a type of spirit food, so naturally, he was appointed to the Spirit Food Department.
His wine brewing skills could be considered unparalleled.
However, when it came to treating spirit beasts as spirit food, he was not so skilled.
Or rather, his understanding was limited.
After all, for him, excelling in one thing was far better than being a jack-of-all-trades.
Minister Cui from the Spirit Food Department was not surprised, he knew the old man’s situation very well and was only trying to divert the topic. After glancing at Wang Ba, he deliberately said:
“It’s a pity that Junior Brother Xin is not around…”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re not good at it, let’s go together. This Class IV Demonic Beast has an extraordinary physique, and maybe we can find a way to deal with it by brainstorming. The Spirit Food Department can’t possibly not be able to handle a Class IV Demonic Beast.”
Hearing this, the old man patted his chest: “Don’t worry, senior brother! We have so many talented people in the Spirit Food Department, how could we not be able to handle it! Even without Junior Brother Xin, we can definitely solve it!”
The middle-aged man frowned, took a ring from his hand, and threw it to the old man:
“In that case, junior brother, take this and study it first. I’ll explore for other solutions.”
“Okay!”
When the old man was not drinking, he could be quite decisive and efficient. Leading a team of cultivators from the Spirit Food Department, he promptly walked straight into the bamboo house.
