Chapter 21, Big Brother, come and hang out when you're free! _3

"Do you have any particularly memorable memories?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there was a person who was blind in one eye, and the other eye was covered with an eyepatch. It looked terrifying... and another person came with a monkey on his shoulder..."

"Go in and search..." the Grey Robe boss ordered.

He smelled the aroma of roasted meat. His brothers were still working on an empty stomach, and these bastards were actually eating roasted meat. Where's the justice in that?

Such things would not be tolerated by the Flame God. His holiness would never allow his followers to go hungry.

"Yes!" Several Grey Robes wanted to break in; they were also craving some roasted meat.

Tang Fei scanned them with his eyes and understood their intentions.

He ran over, snatched the field mouse meat from Little Fatty and the old man's hands, then handed it together with his own portion to the Grey Robe boss in front of him and said, "Lord Divine Envoy, work must be tiring, you must be starving, right? Have some food to replenish your strength first."

Little Fatty's face was full of grievance as he stared longingly at the piece of roasted meat.

The Grey Robe boss was very pleased with Tang Fei's behavior, took a big bite of the field mouse meat, chewed with an oily mouth, and pointed at Tang Fei, "This guy is quite sensible... It's not enough for just me to be full, I have these brothers too..."

"Understood. Understood." Tang Fei stepped aside from the door, smiling cheerfully, "Gentlemen, please come in, I'll make roasted meat for you. I don't dare to brag about anything else, but my roasted meat is the best in Henshan Gathering Area, and with my special spicy seasoning... guaranteed to satisfy you all."

"Alright. Then let my brothers taste your cooking skills." The Grey Robe boss laughed heartily and, along with his subordinates, barged into the courtyard.

Tang Fei gave Little Fatty a signal with his eyes and said, "Little Fatty, bring out all the meat we have at home. It's the fortune of several lifetimes for Lord Divine Envoy to be a guest in our home... we must provide the best hospitality."

Little Fatty got the message and immediately ran to move the large jar storing the meat out, saying, "Bro, I've brought it all."

Tang Fei looked into the jar and saw half a rabbit and a pheasant...

Tang Fei finally eased up, Little Fatty was only fat, but not stupid.

"Gentlemen, all the meat at home is here," Tang Fei pointed to the big jar and said. "I'll roast the meat for you, ensuring that you enjoy it and get your fill."

"Stop the chatter, hurry up and roast. If it's good, we'll reward you handsomely."

"Yeah, we've been searching for a whole day and night; our stomachs are practically flat."

"Damn, where the hell do you find practitioners of the Imperial Qi Level? How would we know what an Imperial Qi Level expert looks like? Shouldn't you at least provide a photo? Or if there's no photo, a sketch would do... With nothing at all, how are we supposed to search?"

"Monkey, do you have a death wish? Do you realize what you're saying?"

"Just joking, just joking; I was merely saying it off-hand... Brothers, you have to keep this a secret for me, okay? I still have a bottle of fine liquor stashed away, a Bamboo Leaf Green... I'll treat you brothers to a drink later."

"Dead monkey, you have good liquor and didn't even mention it? This time you can't trick your brothers... Otherwise, heh heh..."

"No, no, absolutely not..."

Tang Fei was busy cutting meat, chopping the rabbit and pheasant into small pieces for grilling.

If he put a whole one on the grill, how long would it take to cook?

He wanted to get rid of these walking disasters as soon as possible, not wanting them to stay in his house for even one more second.

You see, there was still a guest from beyond the heavens hiding in the inner room, and if they were discovered, it would be another disaster.

Tang Fei was inwardly fuming. Ever since this woman arrived, every day was spent on tenterhooks, far too thrilling for his liking.

No, this annoyance couldn't be for nothing.

He had to charge extra!

While working, Tang Fei eavesdropped on those Grey Robes' conversations.

The moment he heard the name of the Flame Shrine, he could confirm that these people were here because of the death of Black Robe.

He knew that the Flame Shrine would make a big fuss over this, but he never expected them to choose the most foolish approach.

The Henshan Gathering Area was so large, with so many people... What was the difference between this universal search method and finding a needle in a haystack?

What frustrated Tang Fei was that they had managed to stumble upon his doorstep by sheer fluke.

Why were they roasting field mice? Why were they roasting field mice? Wouldn't grilling sweet potatoes have been better?

If they had just stewed a pot of papaya porridge like usual, these Grey Robes wouldn't have the intention to stay for a meal, right?

"Boss, should we take a look around?" Suddenly, a Grey Robe said to the Grey Robe boss.

Tang Fei's heart instantly leaped to his throat, and Little Fatty even thought about reaching for his hammer, but was quietly pulled back by the old man, stopping him from the dangerous act.

"Taking a look might be good," Tang Fei smiled and said. "Just these two shabby rooms, you can search around... If you don't find anyone, it would also prove our innocence. Don't you think?"

"Then you go take a look." The Grey Robe boss was busy nibbling on a mouse leg and was not keen on the matter, but since a subordinate had suggested it, he might as well go through the motions and take a look. This way, if anything went wrong later, it wouldn't be his responsibility.

After all, he was not going to be the scapegoat.

The Grey Robe had no choice but to take on the task and glanced at several rooms before running back to report, "Boss, didn't see anyone."

"Isn't that obvious? Just this one family, the old and the young, including a silly plump Little Fatty, what do they have to do with an Imperial Qi Level expert?" The Grey Robe boss laughed out loud, a gleam of wisdom shining in his eyes. "Besides, if there were really an Imperial Qi Level expert hidden here, would we still be alive? Our heads would have been lopped off already."
