The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 778 - 776: Head Chef Candidate

Young Master Tu...

After Jiang Qing left, Xin Lin reminisced about the young prince.

During the contest just now, this man indeed kept staring at her.

His identity and origin were unclear, most likely an envoy from a major country.

His gaze made Xin Lin quite uncomfortable, hence she had some impression of him.

But that was it, there was no interaction between them, and Xin Lin did not take it to heart.

Now that she possessed the Cutting Vein Finger technique, she felt more confident when facing adversaries.

Compared to Young Master Tu, Xin Lin was more concerned about another hot topic in town.

Earlier, when on a mission with Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan, they chatted and Xin Lin heard that due to Emperor Longteng’s birthday, Longteng Country had invited many guests.

The number of guests arriving was significant, and preparations for the banquet were in full swing.

However, the hottest topic in the city was not the banquet itself but about the selection of the chief chef for the banquet.

After the incident with the Spiritual Delicacy Buns at De Yue Building, its reputation plummeted. Emperor Longteng, after his incognito investigation, in a bout of anger, demanded De Yue Building’s Master Chen hand over half of the banquet’s hosting rights.

The selection for the chief chef for desserts and cold dishes had still not been decided.

As the banquet approached, Emperor Longteng also began to grow anxious and was recruiting various Spiritual Delicacy Masters in the city, but so far, no suitable candidate had been found.

"Earlier, I couldn’t leave Qingtian Academy frequently, but after winning against Chen You this time, I will receive a reward of Performance Value, and I can ask for leave to check out Taoyao Pavilion."

Xin Lin muttered to herself.

Before he died, Master Ji had given Xin Lin a share of Taoyao Pavilion.

This matter, Xin Lin hadn’t yet discussed with the owner of Taoyao Pavilion; she pondered that she should visit Taoyao Pavilion soon, and also check how De Yue Building’s signboard was doing.

Thinking this, Xin Lin walked towards the small cabin.

She had just taken a few steps when she encountered Chu Miaoyun, who was seeing off Young Master Tu.

Seeing Chu Miaoyun, Xin Lin raised her eyebrows and walked straight towards her.

"Miss Chu."

Unexpectedly, Young Master Tu, with a smile, came forward to greet her.

Xin Lin didn’t pay any attention and just walked past.

"Stop! Xin Lin, how dare you ignore the Young Prince when he calls you!"

Chu Miaoyun stepped in to stop Xin Lin.

"Sorry, I didn’t hear clearly. Besides, he called for Miss Chu, and isn’t that you?"

Xin Lin said amusedly.

Chu Miaoyun, this woman, really was like a weathercock.

Just a while ago, she was mingling around the Third Prince and his crowd, and the next moment, she clung to this so-called Young Master Tu.

This Young Master Tu, at a glance, did not seem like good news.

"Oh? I heard you and Miao Yun are cousins, isn’t that true?"

Young Master Tu was quite surprised.

He had just heard from Chu Miaoyun that Xin Lin was her relative.

"I took my mother’s surname, and besides, my father and I have already severed ties with the Chu Mansion, we have nothing to do with it."

Xin Lin shrugged.

"Your father is?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Tu’s eyes subtly changed, a trace of cold light fleeting in his gaze.

"My father is Chu Beiqing, the first Divine Doctor of Chu Country."

Xin Lin mentioned her father, a hint of pride appearing on her face.

"Your father counts as what sort of Divine Doctor, my father is the Imperial Doctor of Chu Country!"

Chu Miaoyun listened and scoffed.

"When my father was a Divine Doctor, your father was still a menial worker at the Imperial Hospital. I also heard, last time, the Imperial Hospital treated several students from the Martial Arts Academy to death. So much for the ’Divine Doctor’."

Xin Lin chuckled, ignoring Chu Miaoyun’s displeased expression, and turned to leave.
