Chapter 1562: Chapter 1555: The Elder’s Warning
But then, how should I explain this to the Crown Prince and the others?
Pockmarked Face elongated his face.
"Master Chen, Spiritual Food is not only about flavor, but also efficacy. A roasted snake..."
"Who said that roasted snake has no efficacy? I had acclimatization issues, but after eating it, I was instantly cured. Let me tell you, although Spirit Cuisines from Wangjing look exquisite, their ingredients are too heavy. You haven’t noticed, have you? I’ve gotten so hungry here that I’ve lost a few pounds. But this roasted snake is different; its taste is natural and perfect! This Three-star Spirit Chef, I approve."
Master Chen said with a glow on his face.
Pockmarked Face was dumbfounded.
Roasted snake without any seasoning, and you call that natural?
What kind of taste does Master Chen have?
"Why, do you have any objections to my endorsement?"
Master Chen glanced at Pockmarked Face.
"No... no, sir... since Master Chen sees no problem, naturally there’s no problem."
Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman could only reply with a sorrowful face.
This time, he really lost both his disciple and his subordinates.
When Xin Lin walked out of the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association, it was already evening.
Today’s assessment was over, and Tu Suxuan was waiting outside, eyes longing.
Seeing Xin Lin come out, he hurriedly went up to her.
"Third Sister, how did it go?"
Xin Lin took out a Spirit Chef token, with three stars clearly visible.
"Good, Third Sister, I knew you would succeed."
Tu Suxuan rejoiced.
"Today was very dangerous, but I managed to think on my feet."
Xin Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little girl, hold on."
Just as Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan were about to head back, Master Chen strolled out.
"Master Chen, thank you for your appreciation."
Xin Lin truly admired Master Chen from the bottom of her heart.
With just a sip of wine, he directly handled a Four-star Spiritual Beast.
If it weren’t for the Flying Centipede Powder, dealing with the Crane Crown Python would have been much tougher.
"No need to thank me, you’ve broadened my horizons too. Your comprehension of Spirit Cuisine is quite impressive, but... from now on, you should avoid using unconventional methods."
Speaking, Master Chen slowly took out a package of powder from his pocket.
Xin Lin was startled.
That powder was the Flying Centipede Powder she had hidden in her sleeve.
How did it end up in his hands?
"Today, it was Vice President Yin who was at fault first, so I won’t pursue the matter. However, if you truly wish to join the Taichang Holy Institute, never touch such poisonous substances again. Otherwise, I can grant you Three-star Spirit Chef status today, and I can also revoke it."
Master Chen’s eyes were still drowsy from drink, hiccuping with every word, but his eyes held no hint of jest.
Xin Lin felt a chill in her heart.
"Thank you, Master Chen, for the reminder."
Xin Lin bowed gently and said no more, taking hold of Tu Suxuan and leaving.
"Third Sister, what was he talking about?"
Tu Suxuan still looked confused.
Master Chen watched Xin Lin leave.
"This little girl is quite interesting, with such remarkable memory and comprehension—truly an excellent seedling. It’s a pity her moral compass is somewhat skewed, liking to take unconventional paths. If well-guided, she would be excellent, but if led astray, she could become a disaster."
Master Chen pondered for a moment, shook his head, knowing it all depended on the girl’s own choices.
Back at the Tu Su Mansion, Xin Lin felt a bit gloomy.
Beyond talent, there are even greater talents; beyond mountains, there are higher mountains. The Taichang Holy Institute’s Master Chen is formidable indeed. Just how powerful is the Taichang Holy Institute?
Perhaps when she returns to Purple Cloud City, she should ask Monk Fengxi.
