Chapter 1639: Chapter 1631:
Xin Lin remained silent for a while.
So just by being present, she became one of the candidates for the Spiritual Food Association President?
Ma Jingtian, this guy, is really a troublemaker.
But since Xin Lin herself was not around, during this period, it was all Ma Jingtian taking care of the matters concerning the election of the Spiritual Food Association President.
This morning, he was called to the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association again.
It’s been half a day, and there’s still no sign of him.
It was only now that Xin Lin understood why those local ruffians would cause trouble at Chu’s Restaurant.
Those people were convinced that the new head chef of Taoyao Pavilion had an inseparable connection with Chu’s Restaurant.
"But I don’t want to be any Spiritual Food Association President."
Xin Lin shrugged her shoulders.
Right now, she’s busy cultivating, tending to her foolish father’s illness, earning Heaven-defying Value, and helping Danzi develop a brain; where’s the time to be president?
"Ma Jingtian means well. You don’t know, those people running for Spiritual Food Association President are not good people. They plan to increase the price of Spiritual Food Restaurants by fifty percent and not open them to ordinary customers, only to the rich and officials and their families. Ma Jingtian, upon hearing about their measures, felt indignant and signed you up for the Spiritual Food Association President election."
Murong Ziyue, who knew the inside story, explained.
Ever since President Mu and Master Ji, among other conscientious veteran Spiritual Delicacy Masters, passed away one after another, the Spirit Food World of Longteng seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, there were undercurrents surging.
Not to mention anything else, the forces of the Spiritual Cuisine Master Associations of other countries have successively intervened in the affairs of the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association in Purple Cloud City.
The earlier appearance of Tu Suxia was a good example.
Although Tu Suxuan died suddenly, the Spiritual Delicacy Masters from Fuzhou didn’t get involved any further.
But the Spiritual Cuisine Master Associations from other countries are restless.
This matter somehow got known by Empress Feng and Grandmaster Jin and others.
Empress Feng took this opportunity of the Spiritual Cuisine Master President election to propose raising the admission threshold of the Spiritual Food Restaurants, enhancing the status of Spiritual Delicacy Masters.
For Empress Feng and other members of the Royal Family and officials, the best way to elevate the status of the Spiritual Food Restaurants and Spiritual Delicacy Masters is to make them aristocratic, distancing commoners from the Spiritual Food Restaurants, thus increasing the overall level of the Spiritual Delicacy Masters and Spiritual Food Restaurants in Purple Cloud City.
"Empress Feng again, this woman, wherever there’s muddy water, there she is. What does the commercialization of Spiritual Food have to do with her? She’s doing this, just like the last Zixiao Palace Exam, to exclude commoner Martial Artists and Spirit Masters, win over nobles, and keep more cultivation resources among the nobles and royal family, making it easier for her to control imperial power."
Hearing this, Xin Lin frowned and analyzed.
The reason Empress Feng does this is also because Spiritual Food helped many commoners gain better resources, strengthening their bodies, even threatening the resources of the children of the royal family.
Previously, Xin Lin, Murong Ziyue, and Little Xinzhuo were among them.
Empress Feng investigated secretly, knowing that they continuously enhanced their Spirit Martial Realm due to Xin Lin’s Spiritual Food.
Moreover, Xin Lin, relying on her own ability, managed Chu’s Restaurant, which shone brightly at Emperor Longteng’s birthday banquet, directly overshadowing De Yue Building, which was previously controlled by Empress Feng.
This hatred, Empress Feng has always harbored in her heart, but just couldn’t find an opportunity. This time, she finally had a chance.
She knew that Xin Lin was not in Purple Cloud City, and thought that Xin Lin didn’t even qualify as a Spiritual Delicacy Master, and couldn’t possibly be involved in the Spiritual Cuisine Master President affairs, so she took the opportunity to orchestrate this series of events.
