The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 877 - 875

General Nalan was still not convinced.

"Your father is?"

He saw Xin Lin was a Spiritual Delicacy Master and assumed her father was also one.

Xin Lin rolled her eyes.

This General Nalan was somewhat adorable; it seemed he was the only one present unaware she was the daughter of Chu Beiqing.

"General Nalan might not know; this is the daughter of the Divine Doctor Chu Beiqing. Her father, naturally, is Chu Beiqing."

Prince Tu approached unhurriedly.

"The Divine Doctor Chu Beiqing, wouldn’t that be the fool from just now?"

General Nalan was taken aback.

"My dad is not a fool; he became that way due to certain reasons. Besides, one day he will recover."

Xin Lin’s expression turned stern as she spoke seriously.

Though she herself often called him "fool dad," she would never allow others to call Chu Beiqing a fool.

Even as a joke, it was unacceptable.

Buying things with a fool seemed somewhat inappropriate.

General Nalan looked troubled.

Prince Tu cast a meaningful glance at Xin Lin.

"Miss Xin, could I speak with you for a moment?"

Prince Tu smiled and gestured for Xin Lin to talk aside.

"I have nothing to say to the young prince."

Xin Lin didn’t even show Prince Tu a kind face and turned to leave.

Prince Tu’s expression turned awkward. He prided himself on being charming and handsome; why was Xin Lin so unfriendly towards him?

Could it be...

Prince Tu recalled Xin Lin’s earlier words.

Could it be that Xin Lin knew about the poison affecting Chu Beiqing being related to him?

Impossible.

She was merely a small Spiritual Delicacy Master; how could she possibly know about the Three Corpse Poison?

Prince Tu was in a daze for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Xin Lin was nowhere to be found.

Xin Lin returned to the Imperial Kitchen, where a middle-aged man in his forties and several Imperial Chefs awaited her.

"Miss Xin, truly thank you this time."

The middle-aged man had a round face, somewhat resembling Huang Xuerou.

He had already learned from the Imperial Chefs what had happened and realized Xin Lin was a great benefactor to their Imperial Kitchen.

"Uncle Huang, no need to be so formal. Xuerou and I are classmates, and as a Spiritual Delicacy Master, what I did was just a minor effort."

Xin Lin said with a smile.

After some pleasantries, Xin Lin took leave of the Imperial Chefs and left the palace.

As soon as she reached the palace gate, she saw Captain Yang waiting there.

"Master Xin, the Emperor summons you to the Imperial Study Room, your father is also there."

Captain Yang said politely.

"Brother Yang, stop teasing me, this ’master’ title is over the top."

Xin Lin coughed lightly.

"Xin Lin, you accomplished a great deed tonight, and everyone in the palace knows it. Why be modest? You made a Spiritual Dish that neither the old food officer nor the Spirit Food Association chairman could. You truly deserve the title of ’master.’

Captain Yang laughed heartily.

Hmph—

From not far away, a cold laughter was heard.

President Mu and Master Chen walked over.

President Mu seemed indifferent to Captain Yang’s words and smiled at Xin Lin.

Master Chen looked upset.

"Xin Lin, don’t think that just because you got lucky and achieved a great feat, it means you can act arrogantly. Your skills hardly qualify for the title of ’master.’

"Master Chen is right; Xin Lin is enlightened."

Xin Lin said politely.

"Xin Lin, you must manage Chu’s Restaurant well in the future. I believe, before long, it will shine brightly in Longteng. The path of a Spiritual Delicacy Master is long; I’ll be staying in Purple Cloud City for a few days. If there’s anything you don’t understand about being a Spiritual Delicacy Master, feel free to come find me at Fenglin Inn."

President Mu encouraged Xin Lin before leaving in his carriage.
