The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 854 - 852: Tricked by a Ghost?

In the afternoon, Taoyao Pavilion had only a scant handful of customers, a stark contrast to the bustling scenes of its first day.

Yang Su patrolled back and forth with several clerks, his face growing darker.

Without the assistance of forbidden substances, his Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns tasted awful.

Customers were unwilling to return, and they had all flocked to Chu’s Restaurant.

"Master, if this continues, we might just lose this competition..."

The clerks, including Wang Lei, were all deeply worried.

"What is there to fear? Don’t worry, Chu’s Restaurant will soon be shut down, and we will emerge the final victors."

Yang Su sneered.

He had been careless this time and had fallen into the trap set by a little girl.

But, old ginger is more pungent; the opponent was evidently too naive to challenge him.

By now, Master Chen should have already instructed someone to identify the problematic firewood.

Last evening, upon discovering his firewood was problematic, he sought Prince Tu’s assistance, but unfortunately, Prince Tu was unable to help them this time.

However, Prince Tu gave him a method to counter-accuse Xin Lin.

If Xin Lin loses, Taoyao Pavilion can securely claim victory.

As for Master Chen, he can soon be dealt with, and after all, the Spirit Food World of Longteng will still be his domain.

Yang Su was feeling smug when he suddenly saw Master Chen and President Mu walk in.

"Did you find any evidence of forbidden dealings at Chu’s Restaurant?"

Yang Su was delighted, quickly approaching.

"Yang Su, someone has reported issues with your Taoyao Pavilion’s Spiritual Longevity Peaches, we are here to search Taoyao Pavilion."

Master Chen said stiffly.

This was all Yang Su’s fault, causing such a big commotion. If not for Yang Su, Chu’s Restaurant wouldn’t have attracted so many customers this time.

"To falsely accuse someone! Our Taoyao Pavilion has been operating in Purple Cloud City for many years without a single mishap. It must be Xin Lin; she used forbidden substances herself and is now counter-accusing us."

Yang Su was furious, perplexed at heart, thinking it was impossible since the firewood at Chu’s Restaurant, though not much in quantity, was indeed soaked and permeated with forbidden substances, and should be easily detectable.

"Whether it’s true or false, a search will reveal it. Come, search for me."

With a command from Master Chen, several clerks stormed into Taoyao Pavilion.

"Master Chen, you must believe me, Taoyao Pavilion is innocent, Chu’s Restaurant poses a significant problem. If nothing is found at Chu’s Restaurant, then search Chu Mansion, they must have hidden things after catching wind of it."

Yang Su continued to babble on.

"Reporting to President Mu and President Chen, there are indeed some firewoods inside. Our subordinates have soaked them in water, proving they were firewoods soaked in forbidden substances."

The clerks swiftly returned, having discovered a large quantity of firewood in the inner pantry at Taoyao Pavilion.

That firewood was precisely used to steam the Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns.

"Impossible!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Yang Su was displeased upon hearing this.

The firewood in the inner room had already been secretly swapped.

Yet, up to this moment, no one has discovered the person who swapped it.

In just one night, how did those firewoods return?

Yang Su, still in disbelief, rushed into the inner room.

At a glance, he was dumbfounded.

Neatly arranged, hundreds of bundles of firewood, lost and found, were just placed there in the inner room.

"Good heavens, Yang Su, how dare you use such despicable means in my Longteng, come, arrest the owner of Taoyao Pavilion and Yang Su to face the authorities."

President Mu, red-faced with anger, ordered to apprehend Yang Su and the others.
