While in the sect.
Orbit is chewing at the cake that is in the 'cake chiller' that Shekki put in the greenhouse. There's also different snacks in the 'snack bar'. This is in response to Shekki's maternal instinct to prepare food for hee young ones.
Though she is the youngest in this place.
"Don't eat everything." Lan frowns seeing him.
Orbit ignores him. Today is the first day Shekki is not here. Nobody is greeting 'Senior! Senior!' with a silly grin. This greenhouse are full of green leafy things now but before it was in a very sorry state(yellow and brown).
Lan prepares his favorite tea and sit down after picking 3 types of snacks.
"Shekki said wash the dishes after using. This 'china wares' seems very important." Orbit remind this lazy Senior.
"Hm." Lan drinks the tea and frowns. "It's not the same."
"You suck that's why." Orbit snorts.
After a moment, Melvin came to get some snack. And find two lazy snakes in the lounge.
"Shekki said not to leave crumbs on the chairs. If she came back with some crumbs. You two will hear an earful."
Melvin sighs and left.
It's just so Shekki to threaten them with an earful. But that woman rarely gets mad.
Yet the two lazy people cleans up. They went to their room to cultivate but they left with some snacks on their hand.
Gander came and brought a whole cake to his room.
Elias came and saw no one in the greenhouse.
"That's unexpected. Nobody came to get some snac---"
Elias feels like getting angry. Shekki will be away fro a whole week. But the supply of the snacks halve at the first day?!!! Elias finally find his brothers and Master to be irritating.
"Next time, I'll tell her to store the food in my space."
Elias snorts. After getting some snacks for himself he went back to his room.
Eating the snack. It feels a bit unsatisfactory as before.
He frowns. "It's the same tasty sweet. But for some reason. I am not being happy." Elias is not the only one. Eating and eating until they stop. This is not fun. They all think. The food is still the same tasty and fragrant but there is a missing flavor.
Or a missing person?
Gander closed his eyes and cultivate. It's better to past time cultivating. While cultivating, you don't need to think or feel. All you have to do is concentrate.
The sweets are abandoned. The Master and disciple concentrate in their cultivation.
"I haven't seen Senior Melvin all day."
"He usually gets down their mountain to find a book to read.... what's wrong...?" The disciples who are wishing for their idols to appear are all heart broken.
Shekki on the other hand,
"I want to prepare the food for Father's birthday party." She suddenly exclaimed.
Of course Angeline's mother won't easily let her. Yet the Old man happily nods. "Your food is tastier than those chefs. Go and make the guest wowed!"
"Thank you father."
Angeline snorts.
"See? It's because of you that your father likes that girl more! How useless." The mother angrily walks away.
Angeline frowns. 'Just because you can't do anything you plan to blame me? Hah!' But she has more important things to do than to care about Charm. She needs to make a convincing drama to make Braddy less angrily at her so she left.
Old man whisper to Shekki.
"I invite the crown prince so make sure you prepare the best food."
Shekki's smile disappear.
"Eh? Why would the crown prince come here?"
"He is looking for a business partner that will help him in supply of copper ore. And he wants my help." The old man smiles. "I am thinking if he find out you are a disciple of the Sect's head master he will be interested in you. A crown prince is better than a Count's son."
Shekki smiles. This old man really cares for Charm so much.
"Father, I don't really want to be entangled with the royal family. I am the head master Core discple. I am better than a country's crown prince."
"Hoh." The old man laughs."this girl talks big now."
The two laugh at each other
