He spat, which was truly like poking a hornet’s nest.
Ma Jingtian was a local ruffian, unused to being bullied.
He flipped the table with a clang, turning it completely upside down.
"Looking to make a scene, huh? Seeking death!"
Chef Yang’s neck flushed red, but he was heard stomping back to the kitchen and shortly after, he dashed out wielding two Bone Cutting Knives.
With a jolt of his arms, True Qi was channeled into them, causing the blades to radiate a cold light as they swooped towards Ma Jingtian’s head.
Chef Yang’s culinary skills were diocre, but his knife skills were truly remarkable.
The blades, whirling like crescents, created a slicing wind so dense and abrupt it resembled a howling northern gale; he was practicing the Tiger Roar Saber, an Eighth Rank Skill.
Chef Yang, around forty, never quite made the cut in martial arts and failed to advance to the Xuan Transformation Realm; halfway through, he relied on his impressive knife skills to beco a Spiritual Delicacy Master.
He was a Two-star Spiritual Delicacy Master and also an Xuanwu Seventh Layer Xuanwu Practitioner.
"This guy’s knife skills are surprisingly fast!"
Ma Jingtian didn’t expect his opponent to be so adept with blades. As the knife winds howled, his face stung painfully.
As the blade struck at Ma Jingtian’s neck, Chef Yang’s face showed delight, thinking to himself.
"Dare to criticize my Spirit Food, I’ll let you bleed."
No blood splattered; instead, as the blade fell onto Ma Jingtian’s neck, his neck strangely softened, and the knife felt like it was chopping into water, only causing ripples.
Ma Jingtian yelled, swinging his right fist and hitting Chef Yang’s blade, making Chef Yang feel as if his knives were sucked into a strong force, sinking like stones into the sea.
A clang sound was heard as the two Bone Cutting Knives fell to the ground.
Under Gui Hu’s guidance, Ma Jingtian’s Water Elent Skill leaped forward dramatically; not only was his True Qi more effortless, but it also allowed his skin and bones to beco as pliable as water at will.
Chef Yang was all about forceful thods, and Ma Jingtian’s Water Elent Skill was just the right counter for him.
"Rebellion, rebellion! Beneath the Emperor’s feet, these guys want to dine and dash. Let’s take this to the officials."
Seeing Ma Jingtian force his knives from his grip, Chef Yang knew he had t a formidable opponent today.
He changed his tone, intending to take the issue to the governnt.
Chu’s Restaurant was a property of the Chu Mansion, deeply favored by Emperor Longteng, and thus virtually unobstructed in Purple Cloud City.
When you beat a dog, you must look at its owner. To bully soone right up to the doorstep of Chu Mansion.
These people, they must be tired of living.
"Hold on, it’s hard for an honest official to settle a dostic dispute. Today’s issue, even if you called the County Magistrate, or even the current Emperor, the result would be the sa. Chef Yang, you’re fired."
Xin Lin waved his hand, signaling Chef Yang to get lost.
Such a character, and still earning ten thousand a day, Chu’s Restaurant could operate till today only because the Chu family’s ancestors were showing their blessing, their spirits must have beco active.
Chef Yang was still dumbfounded.
Not until Xin Lin brought out Chu’s Restaurant’s deed and slamd it on the table.
"Starting today, I’m taking over Chu’s Restaurant. You are fired."
The black and white lettering was clear.
Chef Yang’s arrogant deanor vanished instantly as he looked at Xin Lin and then at Bei Qing.
"Are you the new young miss just returned to Chu Mansion? You... you can’t fire , without , Chu’s Restaurant simply can’t operate."
Chef Yang had also vaguely heard about the affairs of Chu Mansion, but he didn’t expect that the first thing the newly recognized young miss would do after splitting the family was to fire him!
