The Third Elder was so excited that his beard trembled three times. He came to Qin Shaofeng's side and said with delight on his face.
"Little Daoist friend, now that you've reinforced our formation, you are our benefactor! We must hold a banquet for you today and celebrate properly."
"Ever since the formation went wrong, we have been worrying from both sides."
"We feared that one day, someone would come to deal with our Tian Xuan Sect."
As the Third Elder said this, lingering fear still filled his heart.
But now that the formation had been reinforced, there was no need to worry about such things.
Qin Shaofeng, however, was utterly unconcerned about it.
"It was merely a lift of the hand."
He was not being modest. Reinforcing a formation simply did not require much effort.
His words delighted the Third Elder and the others even more. They all said,
"As expected of you, little Daoist friend! Your heart is truly so broad."
"Exactly! From now on, little Daoist friend will be an honored guest of our Tian Xuan Sect."
Qin Shaofeng merely smiled without speaking. When he returned to his residence, Qing Daoxun had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him to return.
Seeing Qing Daoxun carrying a bowl of black chicken soup, Qin Shaofeng stepped forward and said,
"Junior Sister, now that we have fasted from grain, we need not eat anymore. Do not work so hard."
But Qing Daoxun refused.
"Even if we have fasted from grain, we may still crave the pleasures of the mouth. I know Senior Brother worries about me, but I simply want to do something for you."
Qing Daoxun thoughtfully ladled out a bowl of soup for Qin Shaofeng and placed it before him.
A smile filled Qin Shaofeng's eyes.
