"Rest assured, Senior Brother Jian," Jian Feiyan replied with a grin. "For us, the most important thing is to take care of ourselves first. Only then can we bother others."
"Tomorrow is a rest day, and the semi-finals start the day after. Where should we go tomorrow?" Cui Chang'an asked from the side.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "I am not familiar with this place either."
"How about we have a barbecue in the courtyard? We won't go far in just one day," Mi Xiao suggested. She was a foodie, so as long as there was food, anything was fine.
The others thought about it. There were no other places to go, so staying in the courtyard was better. They all happily agreed to the suggestion.
From this, Zhu Yanyi could see that the students of the Sage Academy were very self-disciplined. Although they said they were having a barbecue party in the courtyard, they could have gone out if they wanted. But they knew that going out might cause trouble because of their sudden rise.
"Since that is the case, let's decide to barbecue tomorrow," Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile. As a culinary cultivator, he naturally hoped more people would like his cooking, so he liked the idea of a barbecue.
The next morning, everyone set up in the courtyard. The lively scene was seen by students from other academies nearby.
After getting along for these days, those who were familiar with the Sage Academy's style felt that the excitement had started again. Those who were not familiar with it were now getting used to it. This situation made it hard to ignore.
Guan Feng also heard that the Sage Academy was making noise again. He said nothing, thought for a moment, and decided to come over. Maybe he needed to change his lifestyle, which might be good for him.
With this thought, Guan Feng came to Lan Yuan on his own to see what the Sage Academy was up to.
The Sage Academy didn't care about others' thoughts. They took out their barbecue tools and started preparing. Zhu Yanyi provided vegetables and meat from her Ruyi Space.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi take out two large boxes of vegetables and meat, Ouyang Tianyun said slowly, "I say, Fifteen, did you prepare for this barbecue long ago?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Ouyang Tianyun. "Don't wrong me. I am not that kind of person."
She then pointed to the vegetables and meat nearby. "I originally prepared these for my future training. I heard that during training, it is often hard to find a place to rest, and one has to camp in the wild. So I thought I should prepare more food and supplies. Therefore, I usually stock up on a lot of food."
The others could only laugh dryly at this. This person hadn't even gone out for training yet, but she was already stocking up food for it. This made them wonder if she was going for training or for a picnic trip.
Zhu Yanyi didn't know their thoughts. If she did, she would definitely say, "Isn't training just a picnic trip?"
A person's thoughts determine their actions. Zhu Yanyi always knew what she needed, so she never let herself get into a difficult situation.
She cultivated the Way of Following the Heart, so she did everything as she pleased. For others, training was a hard ordeal. But for Zhu Yanyi, training was actually a long trip with a picnic and camping. With a different mindset, things looked different.
"I think Fifteen's method is good. I will prepare more food when I go back. This way, if I go out for training, I won't worry about having no food on the road. I think Fifteen's method is too good," Mi Xiao said with a smile.
"I also think Fifteen's method is good. I will also bring more food when I go out for training," Jian Feiyan said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi said, "Not only food, but also drinks, like water and wine. Also bring fruit, tents, and so on. Of course, if your storage tools allow, you can bring more tables and chairs. People should not亏 themselves wherever they go."
Zhu Yanyi introduced her experience with a smile.
This reminded everyone of the table Zhu Yanyi took out on the flying boat, and the stools she took out last time when they wanted to watch the show with Qiu Qi. So, she was always ready to watch others' shows or go on vacation.
"Why do I feel that Fifteen's training is very happy and relaxed?" Gu Jun said slowly.
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows. "Don't you bring luggage when you go out? I just brought a little more than you."
"Is this called bringing a little more?" Gu Jun pointed to the two boxes of food nearby.
"Then will you eat it?" Zhu Yanyi asked directly.
"Eat." Of course. Why not eat when there is a free meal?
"Then why are you nagging? I brought it, and today you get a free meal. You still have the nerve to talk about me bringing too much. If I didn't bring more, could you eat so much?" Zhu Yanyi sneered.
"That's right, Fourth Senior Brother, it is wrong to be hypocritical," Mi Xiao was the first to criticize Gu Jun.
"Okay, I was wrong." Fortunately, Gu Jun was someone who admitted his mistakes easily.
Everyone laughed and started assigning tasks. Basically, two or three people shared one barbecue tool. Zhu Yanyi also provided some flower wine.
Drinking flower wine and eating barbecue, life was truly carefree.
When Guan Feng arrived, he saw them living so carefree. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Why do I feel that your days are so carefree?"
The Medical Elder greeted him. "Come, come, Elder Guan. Let's drink and eat meat together."
Although Guan Feng said that, his actions were clear. He walked directly to the Medical Elder and Martial Elder, picked up a piece of cooked meat, and took a bite. "The taste is not bad."
"That is certain. These meats were processed by our culinary cultivator classmate, Ouyang Tianyun. They can be eaten directly after grilling," the Medical Elder said, handing Guan Feng a small jar of flower wine. "Drink some flower wine. It was brewed by our classmate Zhu Yanyi. It is especially delicious."
Guan Feng didn't be polite. He drank a mouthful of flower wine and ate a piece of meat. "You are resting today. Aren't you going to summarize the problems you encountered in the preliminary round?"
"Why discuss it?" the Medical Elder blinked casually. "We didn't care about the semi-final results anyway. Success is best, but failure is also fine."
