Chapter 1358: Straightforwardly Convinced

Spirit Chef gritted his teeth and said, looking at his master like this, the young man wore a helpless expression.

He knew his master's stubborn temper had flared up again, and the whole person became pigheaded once more.

Unable to restrain him, he could only accompany his master, and they found Elder Li's Dong Fu.

Coincidentally, Elder Li was present; upon seeing him, the master and disciple, Spirit Chef launched into a heartfelt accusation.

He accused Ye Zhangqing, Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan brothers, and that steward of the Law Enforcement Hall.

But hearing his words, Elder Li's final reply was.

"Hmm, the Law Enforcement Hall will naturally investigate the matter thoroughly; go back and wait for news."

"What? Elder, what else is there to investigate? The facts are crystal clear."

"Whatever you say is what it is."

"I'm covered in wounds.................."

"What can your wounds prove?"

Huh???

Hearing Elder Li's words, Spirit Chef went dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Elder Li before him—was this the Elder Li who had always been impartial and upright, the overseer of the Law Enforcement Hall?

Could he have been possessed?

Spirit Chef wore an expression of disbelief, but slowly he realized—this woman was also shielding Ye Zhangqing.

Alright, alright, alright—the Elder overseeing the Law Enforcement Hall is shielding that brat; just what background does that brat have?

"Elder Li, are you shielding Ye Zhangqing? By doing this, where do you place the sect's regulations?"

"Impudent."

Spirit Chef dared to question even the Elder; upon hearing this, the young man beside him was frightened silly, staring wide-eyed at his master, his heart a tumult of mixed feelings.

"Don't, take it easy, old man—this is Elder Li, a real power figure in the sect, and you dare to confront him head-on?"

"The next second, Elder Li bellowed in a low voice, and at the same time a terrifying pressure surged toward the master and disciple."

"Under this great emperor's perfect pressure, the master and disciple had no strength to resist, and immediately they were forced to kneel on the ground."

"Disrespecting the Elder, showing no reverence to superiors—I think you need to go to the dungeon to cool off."

"Just like that, Spirit Chef's attempt to seek justice backfired, landing himself in the dungeon instead."

"Imprisoned in the dark dungeon, the young man wore a look of utter hopelessness; he glanced at his gritting-teeth master beside him, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing."

"You say, what's the point? Now it's fine—others are unharmed, but I've landed myself in here."

"We should have seen there was a problem from the very beginning."

"The people of the Law Enforcement Hall are clearly biased toward that brat—how can the arm twist past the thigh?"

"What a Law Enforcement Hall, what an impartial Elder Li—good, good, good, you're all something."

"Spirit Chef was still there gritting his teeth and cursing, while the young man chose silence."

"The master and disciple were locked in the dungeon for three days; upon release, Spirit Chef immediately headed straight for the new canteen."

"Seeing this, the young man urged earnestly."

"Master, why not just forget it? Why bother?"

"No, I must challenge him."

"You still want to challenge Ye Zhangqing—what are you after?"

"Master and disciple went straight to the new canteen's door; it was almost Fàn diǎn, and many disciples had gathered outside the canteen."

"At a glance, the young man was stunned, then exclaimed."

"So many people."

"He's been by his master's side for a while, but inside Bai Song Gu, when has he ever seen so many disciples coming to eat?"

"Back when Ye Zhangqing hadn't appeared yet, each time at Fàn diǎn, the number of people coming to the canteen was at most a few hundred."

"But now, it seems tens of thousands of disciples have gathered outside the canteen."

"Are all these people here to eat?"

"Full of disbelief—how can this new canteen be so attractive?"

"Spirit Chef, meanwhile, let out a cold snort and rushed straight for the canteen, but he still couldn't get in before Li Tie Niu blocked him."

"Again, you guys?"

"Seeing Spirit Chef and his disciple, Li Tie Niu frowned and immediately spoke in an annoyed tone."

"Fàn diǎn hasn't arrived yet—go eat and line up."

"I'm not eating; I want to challenge Ye Zhangqing."

"You still want to try again?"

"Is this guy a piece of stubborn plaster? He's so persistent, once he sticks on you can't peel him off."

"But this time, before Spirit Chef could even speak, the surrounding disciples started cursing."

"Challenge? Challenge what? Don't delay our meal."

"Tie Niu Bro is right—go eat and line up, don't mess around with nonsense."

Huh???

"Looking at the surrounding disciples filled with righteous indignation, Spirit Chef and his disciple were somewhat dazed."

"We haven't done anything—how did this provoke public outrage?"

"The master and disciple naturally didn't know, but the crowd waiting here had long been impatient."

"Now you still want to challenge? This isn't just delaying everyone's meal."

"If you dare to delay our meal, who else would we scold but you?"

"Under the barrage of criticism from many disciples, the young man grew a little panicked, quickly tugging at Spirit Chef's sleeve and whispering."

Master, if not... then forget it, this.............

Even one person's spit feels like it could drown them; seeing the many disciples pointing at them, Liu Chu, though gritting their teeth in anger, still felt a bit panicked inside.

Finally, unwilling, they came to the back of the line and began to queue.

Queuing, right? Fine, I'll queue; when it's my turn, I'll challenge you.

Liu Chu refused to give up, the youth was helpless, but at least seeing the master and disciple finally honestly line up, the many disciples around had nothing more to say.

Damn it, what kind of spell did this kid cast to get so many people speaking for him?

While waiting, Liu Chu remained unwilling, furious to the point of being unable to contain it.

But as time passed, inside the canteen, a fragrance grew stronger and stronger.

At first, Liu Chu didn't care, but later, slowly, that aroma made him unable to stop drooling.

This flavor................

As a ninth‑grade spirit chef, Liu Chu felt they had tasted plenty of good things.

But now, just a wisp of that aroma already made him crave uncontrollably; Liu Chu's expression changed, and he stared blankly at the canteen.

Master, it smells so good.

The youth beside him also spoke up.

This time Liu Chu did not retort him, because it really was fragrant.

Only a disciple ahead, hearing the master and disciple's words, turned his head and said contemptuously.

Being spirit chefs as well, if your master and disciple's skills could reach even one‑tenth of Young Master Ye's, that would be great.

You..............

Hearing that, Liu Chu instantly flared up again, 'What do you mean? Are we really that bad?'

However, that aroma kept drilling into his nose, making Liu Chu unable to get the words out despite them being on the tip of his tongue.

Hmph, I'd like to see just how good your cooking really is.

In the end, Liu Chu merely thought viciously to himself.

At the same time, the canteen doors finally opened; the disciples who had been waiting impatiently one by one entered the canteen full of excitement.

Finally it was mealtime; smelling that aroma, for them it was utterly torment, but now they could actually eat this meal.

It's just that there are more and more people, sigh, nothing can be done.
