Chapter 1570: with translation of chapter title

Ye Zhangqing really doesn't have time to waste with the Vermilion Bird Hall Master today.

When meeting the other three hall masters for the first time, Ye Zhangqing will definitely make thorough preparations.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing is clear that, to the four hall masters, the spirit stones and various resources he brought from the Haotu World...

Actually, they mostly serve as an added bonus; what he truly relies on is his Chúyì.

Otherwise, Ye Zhangqing wouldn't insist on coming himself; anyone else could do just as well.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master obviously knows this as well, so facing Ye Zhangqing's strange gaze, she nodded and said.

"Then I'll watch from the side, is that okay, Master?"

"Alright."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing had no reason to refuse; he nodded, as long as she didn't cause trouble.

Immediately, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master obediently watched from the side, paying close attention, as if not missing a single move.

He just didn't know whether she understood; anyway, Ye Zhangqing felt she probably didn't.

Because from the start, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's eyes were filled with shock, plus a childlike, clear foolishness.

That gaze seemed to say, "Can this dish really be done this way?"

For this meal, Ye Zhangqing really went to great lengths; even when Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er wanted to help, he turned them down himself.

Although the two girls could help with odd jobs, it was definitely better if he did it himself.

This meal wasn't just about taste; Ye Zhangqing also wanted to perfect every other aspect.

Preparing it alone, and it had to be abundant, Ye Zhangqing spent the whole day busy in the kitchen.

And the Vermilion Bird Hall Master really just watched like that in the kitchen all day, watching Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, feeling that all her lifetime of studying Chúyì had been for nothing.

All the things those spirit chefs taught her before were just nonsense.

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that the other three hall masters arrived one after another.

And the Vermilion Bird Hall Master reluctantly withdrew her gaze and went to receive them on Ye Zhangqing's behalf.

Although the four halls of Yongye openly and secretly contend, each governing itself, they haven't reached the point of being irreconcilable.

Moreover, the four are quite familiar with each other, so meeting feels like old friends reuniting, without much tension.

At this moment, the courtyard had already been arranged by Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er, with a large table placed in the middle.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master and the three others took their seats, and the Azure Dragon Hall Master, with a fresh and handsome appearance, spoke first.

"How come, when did you start acting as a mediator?"

Naturally, this was said by the Vermilion Bird Hall Master; hearing it, the stalwart Black Tortoise Hall Master beside her also spoke.

"Taking on both the Human Emperor Palace and the demon race at once, Vermilion Bird, you're overestimating our Yongye."

Lastly, the White Tiger Hall Master, with a charming appearance, slender figure, and looks no less than Qiu Baiyi's, smiled and said.

"I heard that the one who came this time is a young Heavenly Pride, supposedly quite handsome; sister, won't you introduce him to me?"

Saying that, she even licked her lips; the other three directly chose to ignore her.

However, from their words it's clear they already knew the purpose of Ye Zhangqing's group.

As for the alliance matter, the three don't seem to agree much, at least for now.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master didn't mind, a smile appearing on her plump face.

"Let's talk about these after we eat; later I'll let you taste my master's skill—I guarantee it'll drop your jaws."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, the other three hall masters were stunned, "Master? When did this guy get a master?"

"When did you take a master?"

"Yesterday."

"It wouldn't be that Ye kid, would it?"

"It's him; my master's Chúyì is excellent."

The three hall masters already knew Ye Zhangqing's name; that's not surprising, but upon hearing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's answer, they all fell silent.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master has always devoted herself to studying Chúyì, which the three know.

Moreover, she's often been harmed by this guy; despite having such strong talent, she insists on pursuing Chúyì.

She's wasted so much time for nothing, yet she hasn't made any progress at all.

You're just a pig; after studying Chúyì for so long, it should have made some progress, but the Vermilion Bird Hall Master simply hasn't.

Now it's even more outrageous—taking a young brat as a master.

They are well aware that Ye Zhangqing's age definitely still belongs to the younger generation.

Although he already has the cultivation of a Great Emperor, with strong talent, at least he has reached the top tier of Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

But you, after all, are one of Yongye's four hall masters, a perfected Emperor Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

If you take a junior as your master, where would Yongye's face be put if this got out?

However, the three also know that saying this to her is useless; she simply won't listen.

After a moment of silence, the Black Tortoise Hall Master was the first to speak, his expression complex.

"Why not take our advice and stop studying this Chúyì? You're not suited for it."

"No way; becoming a Saint-grade Spirit Chef is my lifelong dream, I promised my father."

"Huh???"

In response, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master replied without hesitation; hearing it, the three were left dumbfounded.

Your dead old man—how many years has he been dead?

Besides, you've studied for so many years, your cultivation is already perfected Emperor Sovereign Realm, but what about your Spirit Chef rank? You haven't even passed the first grade.

After all these years, you still haven't officially entered the ranks of Spirit Chefs; the Spirit Chef examinations of the myriad worlds—you must have taken them eight thousand times, if not ten thousand.

Which time had passed?

Recalling the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's past participation in those Spirit Chef examinations, the three of them involuntarily twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Although there is no unified examination standard across Zhu Tian Wan Jie, such as for Pill Masters, Artifact Masters, Formation Masters, Talisman Masters, and Spirit Chefs.

Each major world has its own standard.

However, it's roughly the same, and there is still no unified alliance that would convince all the major powers' Spirit Chefs in Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

But the Spirit Chef examination that the Vermilion Bird Hall Master participated in can simply be described as absurd.

Almost all major worlds have participated, but no matter which world, they all ended in failure.

They were even eliminated in the first round.

From youth until now, upon taking the position of Yongye Hall Master, it has never changed.

But she persists nonetheless.

Upon hearing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's words, the three were not surprised, yet felt somewhat helpless.

Just as the four were speaking, a rich aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

Upon smelling this aroma, the Azure Dragon Hall Master and the three others all wrinkled their noses, while the White Tiger Hall Master said with an expression of enjoyment.

"It seems your sister's taking on a master wasn't aimless."

"Of course, do you think I casually took on a master?"

In response, the Azure Dragon Hall Master and the three others all pursed their lips; setting aside other things, just in the way of culinary arts, how few masters have you taken?

That Saint-level Spirit Chef will probably end up being taken as your master.

But for now, the three were all attracted by the aroma and had no leisure to worry about those things.
