I hesitated for a moment before saying, "You make sense! But building a force isn't as simple as saying it."

"First, manpower. Those rabble in the provincial capital, if we really had to deploy troops and see blood, Ye Yang and I alone could slaughter their entire sect. What's the point of recruiting these people?"

"Taking a step back, even if I subdue them, they'll definitely have other ideas. If they don't put in the effort, it'll be even easier to screw things up. I don't have the time to play mind games with them every day."

I paused and said, "The best way to build a force is to establish a sect. The relationship between master and disciple is always more reliable than that of big brother and little brother."

"However, establishing a sect takes too long. It will take at least ten to twenty years for the sect to show any signs of improvement."

"It's unrealistic to build a force in a short period of time. I think it's better to discuss this matter in the long term."

Old Liu nodded after listening, "Then we have to change our affiliation, right? You don't recognize yourselves as disciples of the Coffin Gate, so you can't report the name of the Coffin Gate after you go out. We have to have our own name, right?"

"Call it Yin-Yang Dao!" Nie Xiaochun was the first to jump up and cheer.

"Yin-Yang Dao is a Japanese thing! We can't use it!" I almost fell to the ground.

Nie Xiaochun muttered, "Your Black and White Sect isn't much better. It sounds like a panda."

Ye Yang said, "Let's call it Liangjie Tang (Hall of Two Realms)!"

What Liangjie Tang? It sounds awkward to me.

But Ye Yang spoke, Nie Xiaochun agreed, and Old Liu didn't object! Yun Chang said she was a tenant. Feng Ruoxing, who came with them, said he couldn't give opinions casually.

I could only grit my teeth and accept it.

Old Liu made the sign of Liangjie Tang and hung it on the gate of the Governor's Mansion that day. Ye Yang also wrote a couplet: "Righteous deeds are done in the dark of day, the moon shines on the Jianghu of Liangjie Tang."

What is this? It doesn't make any sense!

I hung up the couplet while gnashing my teeth and started the celebration banquet.

The dishes that day were made by Feng Ruoxing. I was in a bad mood and added, "Who made this stir-fried cabbage with vinegar? They forgot to chop it with a knife!"

Nie Xiaochun rolled her eyes at me, "You only know how to eat, not how to cook. You're so picky."

I knew I had said the wrong thing, so I quickly stood up, "I'll go buy some drinks. You guys eat first!"

As soon as I left, Feng Ruoxing put down his chopsticks, "Li Po can't cook?"

"Don't mention it!" Nie Xiaochun covered her face and said, "He cooked once, my god, the dishes he made were all black. If you didn't look carefully, you'd think he brought a table of coal!"

"That's not right!" Feng Ruoxing said, "Before making Chinese cabbage, you should chop it a few times with a knife to break the fibers of the cabbage, which makes it easier to absorb the flavor. He can even taste this, which shows that he's an expert at eating. An expert at eating may not be able to cook, but he definitely won't make low-level mistakes."

"Did he eat it himself after he finished cooking that day?"

"He ate it!" Nie Xiaochun said, "He ate it all. I suspected he didn't have a sense of taste."

Feng Ruoxing said cunningly, "Have you ever thought that Li Po deliberately used soy sauce instead of salt to make all the dishes black!"

Nie Xiaochun got angry at that time, "He did it to avoid cooking! I'll go find him!"

"Don't!" Feng Ruoxing smiled like a little fox, "If you look for him like this, he definitely won't admit it. Why don't we try him? We'll do this..."

I was startled when I came back. All the dishes on the table were gone, leaving only the soup. Ye Yang and the others didn't know where they had gone.

I thought we had encountered a strong enemy at home?

Fortunately, there was a note on the table: "We went shopping. Take care of lunch yourself!"

"Take care of my ass!" I looked at the empty plates on the table, simply took out the remaining cold rice, poured the soup into the rice, heated several dishes together in the microwave, and ate it in the rice.

At that time, I didn't know that Nie Xiaochun and the others had installed a camera in the room and were hiding in the monitoring room watching what I was doing.

Yun Chang couldn't help stirring her fingers as she watched me eat rice in soup, "Are we going too far? I think Li Po is a little pitiful."

"That's not right!" Feng Ruoxing said triumphantly, "Li Po really knows how to eat. The thing about rice bowls is that you have to use cold rice and leftovers to make it taste good. He thought the rice wasn't cold enough, so he specially used his inner force to cool the rice down."

"Also, there are seven or eight kinds of soup we left, but he only picked one kind of soup to pour into the rice, which will make the rice more flavorful without mixing the various flavors together. He's an expert!"

"Let's not go out yet! Let's wait and see what he cooks for dinner?"

I almost went crazy when I found out about what happened at that time!

These people are all lunatics. In order to trick me, they stayed on the third floor all afternoon without even going out the door, waiting for me to run into the wall!

I woke up and it was dark. None of them had come back.

I thought to myself, if they don't come back and are eating and drinking outside, I have to treat myself well, right? I simply went into the kitchen, rolled up my sleeves, made two small dishes, and stretched out a big bowl of noodles.

I had just scooped out the noodles when a large group of people rushed in from outside. I said without changing my expression, "You're all back? Have you eaten? I just ordered takeout."
