Xin Lin was petite, but her attacks were anything but hesitant, and her kick sent Master Ji screaming in agony.
"Murderer..."
As Master Ji was about to shout, Xin Lin grabbed him by the jaw, lifting him up like a little chick.
"You cry ’stop thief’ while being the thief yourself, let guess, you were also the one who instigated the trip to the mountains for the fish, weren’t you?"
Xin Lin sneered.
Master Ji tensed up, his mouth uttering muffled noises.
"It was him. It was he who brought that custor back then. I suggested we could buy Xuan Nu Fish from the local rcenary army, but he insisted that wild Xuan Nu Fish tasted better."
The owner recalled.
Had it not been for Master Ji’s insistence, Master Ji would not have gone through the trouble of ascending Ruqin Mountain.
The owner had not thought much of it before, but after Xin Lin ntioned it, he suddenly felt sothing was amiss.
Could it be...
"Still not admitting it."
Xin Lin let go, and Master Ji fell to the ground, several stones rolling off his body with a thud.
Those stones, of course, were not ordinary stones.
"Interdiate Qi Stones... Master Ji, as a re martial artist who isn’t even a Two-star Spirit Cuisine Master, how could you possess the valuable Interdiate Qi Stones? Speak now, or I’ll send you to the governnt."
Xin Lin shouted fiercely.
Seeing this, Master Ji dared not hide the truth any longer.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, it’s my fault, I should not have been greedy, wanting to beco the head chef. But I never imagined my uncle would end up like this. I just wanted him to get hurt a bit, to take the position of head chef first."
Master Ji started to wail.
He told Xin Lin and the owner that just a few days ago, a mysterious custor suddenly approached him.
He promised to help Master Ji beco the head chef of Taoyao Pavilion. Master Ji had been an Assistant Chef at Taoyao Pavilion for over a decade and had long aspired to be the head chef.
However, Master Ji was in his pri and never really had a chance.
Added to that, Master Ji had been irked by Xin Lin’s recent involvent, and upon a few insinuations from that man, he got confused and agreed.
"That person told that all I needed to do to beco the head chef was to send my uncle into Qin Mountain to find the Xuan Nu Fish. I was also worried, so I went into the mountain with him. During our ti in the mountains, we lived and ate together, and when diving for fish, we did it together, I didn’t know what went wrong with my uncle."
Master Ji grew increasingly remorseful as he spoke.
His father had passed away early, and it was Master Ji who acted as an Assistant Chef to support his family.
"You’re worse than pigs and dogs. Xin Lin, do you have a thod to save Master Ji?"
The owner of Taoyao Pavilion shook his head and sighed after hearing this, yet his face showed a hopeful look towards Xin Lin.
Xin Lin could guess the ins and outs of the matter; does it an she also knew how to save soone.
"First take him away and ensure he has no contact with the outside for the next few days. Also, spread the word that Master Ji is ill."
After saying this, Xin Lin walked to the bedside.
She looked at Master Ji’s belly, her brows furrowing ever tighter.
According to his pulse, besides being weak, there were no other abnormalities in Master Ji.
The only problem was inside his body.
Xin Lin focused and concentrated Fu Xi’s Energy in her eyes.
Her black pupils slowly turned to gold.
Following that, she looked through Master Ji’s clothes, skin, and bones, moving deeper and deeper.
Just when Xin Lin saw inside Master Ji’s belly, her brow twitched slightly.
The scene before her eyes made her hair stand on end.
Inside Master Ji’s belly, what she saw was not the ordinary organs, but...
