After Ye Qing finished making the rice milk, he raised his head and glanced indifferently at Elder Mei. "Me selling my delicacies doesn't seem to have anything to do with your Hundred Flower Palace, does it?"
Elder Mei's brows furrowed tightly as she sighed and said helplessly, "Young Master Ye, you have to know that today is our Hundred Flower Palace's Hundred Flower Banquet. With you causing such a ruckus, who would want to eat our fresh flowers and delicacies?"
Elder Mei was somewhat speechless. The previous Hundred Flower Banquets had been held rather smoothly. Only this time had been disrupted by an oddball like Ye Qing, who had even stir-fried some loach chrysanthemum in public.
The crux of the problem was that the food Ye Qing stir-fried was of very high quality, causing a commotion among the crowd.
In reality, according to the Hundred Flower Banquet's original menu, there were still many dishes that had yet to be served. They had originally planned to serve some brand-new fresh flower dishes during the second half of the Hundred Flower Banquet.
However, after Ye Qing's ruckus, the spectators had lost interest in the fresh flower dishes. They only wanted to eat Ye Qing's stir-fried loach chrysanthemum …
When Ye Qing heard this, he spread out his hands. "I'm very sorry to have affected your Hundred Flower Banquet. However, who told your fresh flower dishes to not be attractive enough?"
When Elder Mei heard Ye Qing's light tone and heard a hint of mockery, she was instantly displeased.
"Kid, leave the Hundred Flower Palace immediately!
Whoever wants to seek revenge on you has nothing to do with the Hundred Flower Palace!
Wherever you go to sell delicacies has nothing to do with the Hundred Flower Palace! "Elder Mei said resolutely.
Ye Qing did not care. He prepared to pack up and leave. Even if he left the Hundred Flower Palace, he still did not fear the Green Spirit Sect or the Lingzhi clan.
When the Great Sage of Hundred Flower heard this, her expression immediately darkened. "My husband will go wherever he wants to sell delicacies. He doesn't care about your place!
Husband, let's go! "
The Great Sage of Hundred Flower was fuming as she left. The four elders, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, turned pale with fright and hurried over to stop her.
"Palace Lord, please calm down!"
"Palace Lord, you can't leave!
We still haven't helped you recover your memories and cultivation! "
The four elders, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, half-knelt on the ground and begged. They communicated with each other through their Divine Sense, so the people outside did not know what they were talking about.
With their strength, they were completely capable of imprisoning the Great Sage Centaurea. However, they didn't dare to do so. As followers of the Centaurea Empress, they had all sworn a martial oath to follow her until death. They didn't dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect to her.
"I'll go wherever my husband goes!
If he wants to leave the Hundred Flower Palace, I will leave the Hundred Flower Palace as well! "The Great Sage of the Hundred Flowers said coldly.
The four elders smiled bitterly. They couldn't do anything about the Great Sage of Hundred Flowers. They could only turn around and beg Ye Qing to let Ye Qing stay.
Elder Mei's figure flashed and arrived by Ye Qing's side, and a wisp of a bitter smile appeared on her face. "Young Master Ye, I spoke too much earlier. Our Flower Palace welcomes you at any time. I apologize for what I said earlier!"
Elder Lan, Elder Zhu, and Elder Ju hurriedly ran over as well. They refused to let Ye Qing leave, saying all sorts of good things.
They did not doubt the Great Sage of Hundred Flowers' words at all. If Ye Qing left the Hundred Flower Palace, the Great Sage of Hundred Flowers would definitely follow Ye Qing, seeing how loyal she was to him.
They had already searched for the Great Sage of Hundred Flowers for over fifty thousand years. Before the Great Sage of Hundred Flowers recovered her memories and cultivation, they definitely couldn't let her leave the Hundred Flower Palace.
Ye Qing had his hands behind his back as if his arrogance soared to the heavens. He said indifferently, "It was you who begged me to stay. If anything happens to me in the Hundred Flower Palace, it's all your own fault. Don't hold me responsible."
"Yes, yes, yes. No matter what you do in the Hundred Flower Palace, we can accept it!" Elder Mei hurriedly said.
"That's right. Young master Ye, don't be polite. Just treat the Hundred Flower Palace as your own home!
You can do whatever you want. No one will stop you! "Elder Ju said with a flattering smile.
In the main hall, the three ten-star chefs were dumbfounded. In their impression, the four elders, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, had always been aloof and cold existences.
They never would have thought that they would be so humble to Ye Qing. The scene was too shocking, making the three ten-star chefs feel that it was unreal.
"Damn, the treatment of an eleven-star chef is indeed different!"
"Impressive!
The four elders are all experts in the ninth level of the Heaven realm. They're actually so polite to him! "
"If I can become an eleven-star chef in the future, I'll definitely be treated with great respect by the four elders!
Good luck! "The three ten-star chefs whispered in each other's ears.
The three ten-star chefs were endlessly envious of Ye Qing. They even thought that the reason the four elders were so respectful to Ye Qing was because of Ye Qing's culinary skills.
Under the four elders' bitter begging, Ye Qing had no other choice. In the end, he could only agree to stay in the Hundred Flower Palace for the time being and continue to sell food.
Many of the people who were originally in the main hall had gone out to raise money. However, there was a large city near the Hundred Flowers Palace. There was a trading market in it. They could casually sell some things and raise top grade Heaven Realm Origin Crystals.
Not long after, cultivators from the Flower World came back one after another. They entered the Hundred Flower Palace's palace and waited for Ye Qing's food to come out.
They discovered that Ye Qing did not continue to make Mud Fish Stir-Fried Chrysanthemum. Instead, he changed to a new variety.
He used the most ordinary rice as an ingredient. He made a large pot of boiling lard in a wok of oil. He made the rice milk into the shape of a pastry and began to fry it.
"The fried rice cakes are ready to come out of the oven. Customers and friends, please prepare your Heaven Realm Origin Crystals. Seven hundred top quality Heaven Realm Origin Crystals can buy a fried rice cake!" Ye Qing's vigorous voice resounded.
The entire crowd was restless. Seven hundred was even more expensive than the Mud Fish Stir-Fried Chrysanthemum from before.
However, a large fried rice cake was more than the Mud Fish Stir-Fried Chrysanthemum.
Seven hundred Heaven Realm Origin Crystals was a huge sum of money. Many cultivators' hearts were bleeding to use it to buy a fried rice cake.
However, there was nothing they could do. In order to increase their cultivation, no matter how big the price was, it was worth it.
Thus, the spectators were already prepared. As long as Ye Qing's fried rice cakes came out of the oven, they would buy them without hesitation.
As time passed, the fried rice cakes gradually emitted a refreshing fragrance. Pieces of green fried rice cakes were ready to be completed.
Ye Qing had put a lot of grass in it. There was a kind of grassy fragrance that smelled very tempting.
It was different from normal fried rice cakes. Many fried rice cakes were yellow pieces. However, Ye Qing's fried rice cakes looked much better. They were like pieces of green jade.
In the Hundred Flower Palace's main hall, more cultivators had gathered. They had already collected Heaven Realm Origin Crystals and their purchasing power was not weak. Looking at the fried rice cakes in the wok of oil, they were drooling!
"Hey, how do you think the fried rice cakes' effect is compared to the Mud Fish Stir-Fried Chrysanthemum?"
"Don't tell me that the fried rice cakes can't help us increase our cultivation?"
"Nonsense, one look and I can tell that Young Master Ye is a businessman with a conscience. Since the price of the fried rice cakes is more expensive, the effect should be better than the Mud Fish Stir-Fried Chrysanthemum!"
"That's right, that's right. The fried rice cakes that can increase cultivation are only selling for seven hundred top quality Heaven Realm Origin Crystals.
You have a conscience! "
The melon-eating crowd whispered. Some of the thick-skinned melon-eating crowd even started to flatter. Most of the melon-eating crowd, when they heard the word "conscience", were all silently cursing in their hearts. If Ye Qing was a conscientious merchant, then there would be no black-hearted merchants in the world …
