Chapter 2522

The first round had ended.

Those who had come in hadn’t even figured out what was happening before they all collapsed. When they woke up, they were back in reality, sent out because their points had dropped to zero.

Naturally, those points were now with Cuiwan and the others.

Life for Cuiwan’s group was calm. Although they had been waiting for opportunities like a hunter waiting by a tree, their days were uneventful, filled with eating, drinking, and chatting.

This was different from other places, where bloody battles had already begun. No one knew exactly what had happened, but it was a fight to the death. Watching this, Zhu Yanyi sighed slightly.

When the ten days were up, all teams in the secret realm were sent out, and someone began to tally their points.

The Azure Sovereign Sect’s score was exactly one hundredth, leaving everyone speechless.

Although the top one thousand could participate in the next round, everyone knew that the real competition likely started from the hundredth position.

Although the Azure Sovereign Sect had only reached one hundredth place in the first round, they had already entered the视线 (line of sight) of others.

Zhu Yanyi watched Cuiwan and the others return and smiled, saying, "Our heroes have returned."

The ten disciples, including Cuiwan, came to Zhu Yanyi and bowed, saying, "Master, we are back. We did not meet your expectations."

Zhu Yanyi gently patted Cuiwan’s shoulder and said, "Master saw it. Cuiwan is a qualified senior sister." Then she looked at the other children and said, "You are all very good children too."

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for the praise." The other nine disciples’ eyes were full of excitement.

"The second round will start in five days. We can go back and rest now. We just need to come back in five days," Honglian announced the result and handed Zhu Yanyi a token for advancing. "This is our advancement token. We must keep it safe these days, as we will need it for the competition."

Zhu Yanyi nodded, took it, and threw it into her Ruyi Space. Except for herself and Yan Aohan, no one else could enter.

"Since we passed the first round, we should celebrate properly, right, Sect Leader?" Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi with a grin.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Silver Fox and then nodded, saying, "Yes. It’s rare that we passed the first round today. We should celebrate properly and cheer ourselves on to get good results in the second round."

"Yes!" The ten disciples shouted happily.

"Let’s go eat something good. I heard that in Xingyue City, besides the bun shop we ate at last time, there is a restaurant called 'Ten Thousand Lights.' Their food is also very special. Let’s go eat something good. Anyway, your Sect Leader is paying," Silver Fox said with a grin.

Zhu Yanyi glared at Silver Fox and said, "Since you know I’m treating, why are you so kind? You’re even ahead of us. Are you planning to trick us?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at Silver Fox with a suspicious expression.

Silver Fox grinned and said, "How dare I? I just want to have a good meal right now."

Zhu Yanyi thought about it. Having a good meal was good, so she agreed without saying another word. They went together to a restaurant called 'Ten Thousand Lights.'

"'Ten Thousand Lights.' This name has a very worldly flavor," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at the sign. "What is their signature dish?"

"You’ll know when you go in," Yan Aohan said.

The group entered 'Ten Thousand Lights.' Fortunately, Silver Fox had reserved a large private room in advance, so they went in smoothly.

There were fifteen people in their group, and the large private room had seats for exactly fifteen, so it was neither too many nor too few.

Yan Aohan helped Zhu Yanyi sit down. The waiter had already brought the menu for them to look at. Zhu Yanyi didn’t look at the menu and only said to Yan Aohan, "You help me order later." Then she said to everyone, "Everyone order one dish, and we’ll order the rest."

Knowing that Zhu Yanyi was treating, everyone didn’t be polite. Each person ordered one dish. After ordering, the menu was handed to Yan Aohan. After looking at it, he ordered several more dishes, as well as some juice, tea, and wine.

After the waiter took the menu out, Yan Aohan said, "Their signature dish is grilled fish, with several flavors. I ordered three kinds: tomato flavor, fresh and spicy flavor, and home-style flavor. If it tastes good and we’re not full, we can order more later."

"That’s for sure. Anyway, you two aren’t short of money, so we should eat more," Silver Fox said with a grin. "I ordered charcoal-grilled lamb chops, which are also said to be a signature dish."

"Hearing you talk, it feels like 'Ten Thousand Lights' is very down-to-earth," Zhu Yanyi said.

Zhu Yanyi came from the mortal realm, so she naturally knew what life there was like. Therefore, everything 'Ten Thousand Lights' did was undoubtedly very down-to-earth.

Ouyang Tianyun also nodded in agreement, saying, "You’re right. I also think it’s very down-to-earth."

Yan Aohan said, "Residents of the Immortal Realm are not born there. Some ascend from below. After ascending, to cultivate, opening a restaurant and connecting with the earthly realm is understandable."

As they spoke, the ordered dishes came out one by one. Yan Aohan picked up a large piece of tomato fish for Zhu Yanyi and let her eat first.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t be polite and started eating directly.

She nodded while eating and said, "This tomato fish is quite authentic, and there is also a lot of spiritual energy in the fish. It makes people feel happy."

Yan Aohan smiled and said, "If you like it, we can come here often while we are here for a while."

Zhu Yanyi shook her head and said, "Sometimes good things don’t necessarily need to be eaten every day. Besides, what I like to eat most is the food you make for me."

"Okay, I’ll make it for you tomorrow," Yan Aohan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi with a smile and speaking seriously.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Yanyi’s face, and she said, "Good, then you make it for me tomorrow."

"Oh my," Silver Fox called out again. "Can you two couples tone it down a bit? This dog food you’re feeding us is making us unable to eat." Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan with dissatisfaction.

"Don’t look at what is improper, don’t listen to what is improper. You can choose not to listen or look. If you can’t stay calm, don’t blame us," Zhu Yanyi directly retorted to Silver Fox.

Silver Fox sighed and said, "Indeed, I feel that since I met you two, I’ve been bullied by you."

Zhu Yanyi grinned and said, "That’s good. It shows how enthusiastic we are towards you."
