I was scolding Ye Yang, but I didn't know that Chen Shuyu was on her way to Liangjie Tang, wiping away tears with a smile.

Chen Shuyu was sent back by Ye Yang, but Qing Ming followed her all the way and told her everything he had seen.

I was dragged into a restaurant by Ye Yang. As soon as Ye Yang sat down, he called over the manager: "I don't care about the other dishes, but he has to make the squirrel mandarin fish. We'll pay for the food."

The manager frowned, "Sir, is that really appropriate?"

Ye Yang said, "We'll only eat the squirrel mandarin fish made by him. If your chef can do better, I'll leave him here to work for you!"

The manager looked at Ye Yang for a long time.

Was he trying to cause trouble? It didn't seem like it!

If he wasn't causing trouble, did normal diners make such requests?

Lin Zhao quickly smoothed things over, "Actually, it's not that his cooking is so good, it's just that he can make the taste of our hometown. Please do us a favor."

Only then did the manager reluctantly agree and take me to the kitchen.

As soon as the manager finished speaking, the chef's face changed.

I didn't care whether he was happy or not and went straight into the kitchen. As a result, as soon as I showed off my knife skills, the entire kitchen stopped cooking and ran over to watch me.

When it came to knife skills, unless the chef was a reclusive swordsman and had reached the Tuifan (Mortal Shedding) realm, no matter how good a chef was, they wouldn't be a match for me.

As for how good my cooking skills really were, I had never estimated them myself.

I hadn't taken a chef's certification exam, nor had I ever competed with other chefs. I only knew that my cooking was about the same level as Butcher Wang!

As soon as my squirrel mandarin fish came out, the restaurant's chef didn't dare to cook for our table anymore.

Ye Yang and Lin Zhao, those two spendthrifts, even ordered eight dishes and a soup.

The manager was also there, saying good things, saying that a master had arrived, and it was a rare opportunity for their chefs to learn and observe.

Since they had already said so, and besides, it was against the rules for me to run into their kitchen to cook, I could only make the rest of the dishes.

However, I also made the manager suffer a silent loss.

When my soup was brought out, the aroma filled the restaurant lobby as soon as the lid was opened. All the customers asked what kind of soup it was.

As a result, when the restaurant's chef tried to imitate it, the customers almost overturned the table.

The aroma alone was wrong, not to mention the taste.

They didn't know that my soup didn't actually have a name. My master casually gave it a name called "Seven Slap Soup."

The most essential part of that soup wasn't how it was made, but the process of serving it.

Everyone saw me slapping the soup pot with my right hand as I walked while carrying it.

It wasn't because I thought the soup pot was too hot, but because I was using my internal force to make the soup vibrate in the pot. Only after vibrating seven times could the soup's aroma be released to its fullest, turning it into a divine delicacy.

People below the Xiantian (Acquired) realm couldn't make it. I had never made it for Ye Yang and the others before.

I knew that Ye Yang had dragged me to the restaurant and specially ordered squirrel mandarin fish, actually to wait for Chen Shuyu.

Since he wanted to apologize to her, I had to show some sincerity.

That's why I revealed one of my hidden skills.

When I brought the soup to the table, Chen Shuyu was already sitting there. Although she had wiped away her tears, her eyes were still a little red.

I stood up and poured Chen Shuyu a glass of wine: "Xiao Chenzi, I toast you with this glass."

Chen Shuyu's tears flowed again. She knew that the words "Xiao Chenzi" had erased the distance between us, and she had truly become a member of Liangjie Tang.

Ye Yang was really rude. While I was toasting, he finished a small bowl of soup.

Didn't he know how to be reserved?

This guy was hopeless. He should just live with a cat for the rest of his life!

While we were eating, Lin Zhao specially asked Chen Shuyu what her relationship with Ye Yang was.

Chen Shuyu's answer was that it was a relationship between a superior and a subordinate, probably similar to the relationship between Li Po and the girls in Liangjie Tang! Except, she didn't dare to hit Ye Yang.

I knew that Ye Yang deserved to live with a cat for the rest of his life. Even a dog wouldn't be able to live with him!

Halfway through our meal, Chen Shuyu also received the latest information: "Only four days have passed since we set off. Feng Ruoxing will reach the destination one day earlier than us."

"On the second day after Feng Ruoxing arrived in Tacheng, someone saw her active in Tacheng. On the third day, news of Feng Ruoxing's disappearance spread."

I said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that someone had already predicted that Feng Ruoxing would disappear? Who released the news?"

"We haven't found out yet." Chen Shuyu said, "The person who released the news should be someone in my line of work. They are very familiar with tracking intelligence and erased all traces in a short period of time. There aren't many people who can do this."

I tapped the table and said, "Are there any other Jianghu (martial arts world) forces active near Tacheng?"

"Not at the moment!" Chen Shuyu said, "I have already notified Butcher Wang to evacuate Tacheng as soon as possible and wait for us nearby. My people will send a car over later. We'll talk about the details on the way."

"Okay!" I saw that we were almost done eating, so I got up to pay and leave. As a result, the restaurant owner almost hugged my thigh, saying that he wanted to hire me as the head chef at a high salary, which made me so angry that I almost knocked him unconscious on the ground.

It wasn't until I got into the car that I opened my mouth and said, "What exactly was the mission you gave Feng Ruoxing?"
