Chapter 345: The Gluttonous Old Heavenly Master

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: The Gluttonous Old Heavenly Master

Within the Zhou Family.

The news from the investigation was absolutely shocking to the world.

No one would have thought that the little devils could be so vicious and merciless.

"Then, all we can do now is to quietly observe the changes, but rest assured, with me here, we will not only break the little devils’ formation, but I guarantee that we will capture them all in one fell swoop,"

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, a confident look on his face.

"Old Heavenly Master, my forces will be stationed for the investigation this afternoon. If there is any news, how should I inform you?"

Xu Zhi Rou, who had returned, had already arranged all the upcoming plans.

With the support of Lin Fan’s equipment, it should be impossible for anyone to notice.

"In these days, I will be residing at the Sanqing Temple to the north of the city. If anything comes up, you can find me there. I will leave this investigation to you, I must go now,"

As Mr. Zhang spoke, he had already stood up.

"Old Heavenly Master, please wait,"

Zhou Weimin quickly stood up, "You’ve traveled a long way to come here, how can you leave without even having a meal? I have already prepared a vegetarian meal for you, would you please give it a try?"

"Forget it, forget it, your cook might be fine with other dishes, but the vegetarian meals are truly terrible. I am quite fastidious about my food, and I truly cannot enjoy your hospitality. I’d better return to my temple for fasting and cultivation."

Mr. Zhang declined without any hesitation.

This quick refusal might well be his last stubborn attachment in this world.

Ordinary food could not attract him, who had reached the pinnacle of his powers.

With his fasting ability, he scarcely ate a few meals in a year.

"Speaking of delicacies, I do know a person whose culinary skills are quite formidable. Would you be willing to accompany me for a visit? I guarantee you’ll be longing to return,"

Seeing that the old Heavenly Master was about to leave, Lin Fan suddenly had an idea.

This old man’s strength was unparalleled in Huaxia.

If one could receive his guidance, it would be a treat for anyone.

"Young man, your martial arts skills are indeed not bad, but when it comes to culinary delights, you’re surely too far behind. My taste is extremely sensitive, and the delicacies I’ve had are beyond your imagination. Making me long to return would be harder than reaching the skies," Mr. Zhang said with a faint smile.

The picky Mr. Zhang did not believe Lin Fan’s words.

"Since it’s not too far away, why not trust me once and give it a try? If it’s not delicious, then you can just walk away,"

Lin Fan still smiled confidently.

His idea of a delicacy was naturally Li Qiqi’s cooking.

"Alright then, let’s see how delicious this so-called delicacy of yours is,"

Mr. Zhang suddenly became interested.

He nodded with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jiaqi looked at Lin Fan with surprise.

"You’re not planning to take him to Medicine King House, are you? Can Qi Qi handle it?"

"If she can’t, there’s no loss. But if she wins the old Heavenly Master’s favor, that would be a fortune fallen from the sky. With such a powerful support, would her hidden grandmother still dare to lay a finger on her?"

Lin Fan winked and dialed Li Qiqi’s number.

When she heard that she was to entertain a distinguished guest at the Medicine King House,

Li Qiqi felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"Oh, and my guest is strictly vegetarian, abstaining from meat, with a particularly tricky palate. Hence, it’s imperative to use brand-new kitchenware at home to prevent any meaty flavors, and he’s very important to me. Whether we can get closer today will depend on you,"

Lin Fan did not disclose the identity of Mr. Zhang.

Similarly, he did not mention that this banquet was actually for Qi Qi’s benefit.

After all, she now only had eyes for him.

"Lin Fan, don’t worry, I guarantee I’ll complete the task,"

Li Qiqi agreed happily.

The first thing she did was rush to the kitchen, where she had the cooks start bustling about.

She would never let Lin Fan lose face because of her.

"Old Heavenly Master, the little devils have taken secretive actions this time, and I need to rush back to the Southern Border immediately to command the defenses, so I can’t join you in your leisurely activities."

Xu Kun was restless by now.

Even though he knew an old Heavenly Master had taken action,

he still had to go back and prepare a foolproof plan.

Only by arranging for the worst-case scenario could he be doing what he should be doing.

"Heavenly Master, I also need to set up surveillance outposts," he said.

Xu Zhi Rou naturally had no appetite for food either.

Now that Lin Fan had opened the way, she had to carry out the task.

Internal investigation, external monitoring, and perimeter defense.

She had so much to prepare.

"Alright, alright, go ahead, I’m not some decrepit old man. Here in Jiangning, who could bully me?"

Mr. Zhang said with a chuckle, waving his hand.

Only then did the father and daughter hurry out.

Before leaving, Xu Zhi Rou did not forget to tell Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, if there’s anything, I’ll report back to you when I come home tonight."

"Okay, no problem."

Lin Fan nodded.

Although the entire work period would not be finished until at least a month later,

starting preparations early was also necessary to avoid sudden emergencies.

Of course, neither of them had anticipated,

that over the next period, due to excessive intimacy,

they would invoke Ning Mengyao’s towering jealousy.

...

"It smells so good, the cooking here is really quite impressive!"

Lin Fan, alongside the Heavenly Master, entered Medicine King House.

As soon as he entered, he already smelled the aroma of the food.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Master is truly wise. He can tell right upon entering," Zhou Weimin said, raising his thumb.

He hadn’t smelled anything.

"I’ve said it before, in the past hundred years, my only hobby has been indulging in food. There’s not a delicacy in the world I haven’t tasted, which has led to my picky palate. Now it’s turned into a torment for me. The everyday meals are simply unbearable. If not for my ability to survive without eating, I would have starved to death long ago."

The old Heavenly Master followed the scent all the way to the dining room.

There was no need for Lin Fan to guide him.

"How about it, I wasn’t exaggerating, right? The food here, I guarantee it will satisfy the Heavenly Master," Lin Fan said, watching the greedily anticipating old Heavenly Master with a smile.

Who would have thought that Li Qiqi’s affection would transform into such motivation?

Even at a time like this, it could play an unexpected role.

Indeed, ’every man has his use.’

"This scent, why does it seem so familiar? It’s as if I’ve eaten it before somewhere."

As the aroma became stronger, the old Heavenly Master furrowed his brows.

He had spent most of his life traveling,

and he had tasted too many delicacies to count.

Even with a good memory, he could not distinguish it in just a moment.

"All this is what that girl learned from the internet. Maybe she carries culinary destiny with her, to have such skills," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Li Qiqi had told him this herself.

But the old Heavenly Master scoffed and said, "Don’t kid me. No matter how advanced the internet is, it won’t have the secret recipes of the Miao Border Thirteen Extremes. Those are the top-class spices of the Five Poison Sect, closely guarded secrets."
