——Boom!
Chen Zao's reckless words blew up the War Strategist Office!
All the Young Masters, servants, and maids were furious!
"This damn chef is crazy! Choosing such a bad place to seek death!"
"What kind of person did Seventh Sister bring? This is outrageous!"
"Third Sister, show no mercy and order his execution!"
"Seventh Sister, you can't protect this chef anymore! This guy is doomed!"
"How dare you insult us! You really must be tired of living!"
The storm of accusations frightened Ren Xiao so much that his legs felt weak, and he looked to Ren Ling for help.
His pleading eyes were filled with tears, hoping that Lord Ren Ling would not hold a grudge and would not blame Chef Chen.
With the situation escalating like this, the profitable Song Gathering was completely ruined. How could Ren Ling not take it out on Chen Zao?
With a slight frown, her starry eyes narrowed as she gathered two strands of celestial fire, staring at Chen Zao. Ren Ling said angrily, "You have some nerve coming to my War Strategist Office to cause trouble! I will teach you a lesson today! Hu the Young Master, give him your guitar and let him play! If he plays worse than you, I will personally eliminate the evil for all the Young Masters and relieve your grievances!"
"Haha! Third Sister, you don't even need to lift a finger! I'll take care of him for you!"
Shilian Zhi rushed to help Ren Ling stand out.
Hu Rengui was unwilling for Shilian Zhi to take the spotlight and hurriedly instructed his servant, who was holding a guitar, “Lao Luo, give that stinky chef the guitar! Let this madman play a tune! We’ll just endure it for a bit, and once he’s done, I’ll take care of him! For the entertainment of Third Sister!”
The servant named Lao Luo angrily approached Chen Zao, shoved the wooden guitar into Chen Zao's hands, and grumbled, “Kid, have some sense. Take good care of my young master’s guitar, or he might leave you in pieces. If you mess around, my young master will turn you into minced meat!”
Chen Zao was filled with anger; even with such a threat, he arrogantly accepted the guitar, ignoring everyone else, and directly asked Ren Ling, “If I play well, do I get gold?”
Ren Xiao was stunned. She knew that Chef Chen often had to scavenge for food and was in dire need of money, but…
Right now, his life was more important!
At this critical moment, how could he still be thinking about gold?
What kind of logic did he have?
Ren Ling also didn’t expect that this chef would still be thinking about their War Strategist Office’s gold even when facing death.
He truly was an arrogant oddity!
“Alright! I’ll give you credit for your courage! If you have the skill, come and get it! But don’t say I didn’t warn you; this scoring machine I designed mainly judges based on melodies created by human voices. If you can sing while playing, then send your final lament to this world!”
“Hah, as if I’m afraid of you!”
Chen Zao pushed away Ren Xiao's hand that was gripping his arm tightly and confidently stepped forward with the guitar, turning his back to Ren Ling.
"Everyone, listen up! Today, I, Chen Zao, will show you what it means to participate in the Song Gathering!"
"Bah—!"
The servants responded to Chen Zao's boastful words with a chorus of jeers.
At the Song Gathering, there are always arrogant Young Masters who like to brag before performing.
People had grown accustomed to such pre-performance bluster and felt that Chen Zao was becoming increasingly tiresome.
"Seven, this song is for you!"
Chen Zao confidently pointed at Ren Xiao, intending to dedicate the song to her.
When Ren Xiao noticed that Chen Zao had turned his back on Ren Ling, Ren Ling's expression grew increasingly grim. After hearing Chen Zao's declaration, she felt utterly hopeless! There was no chance left for her to plead on Chen Zao's behalf!
At the War Strategist Office's Song Gathering, Chef Chen actually chose not to dedicate the song to Ren Ling but to her instead. How could this be!
Could this be his final message for me?
Ah!
Feeling anxious and defeated, she sat down on the bench.
Ren Xiao wore a face full of regret, devoid of any remaining joy.
Why did she bring Chef Chen to the War Strategist Office tonight... why!
If Chef Chen were to die like this, there would no longer be any enchanting cuisine in this world!
There would be no more cherishing of beauty or longing for ideals!
Chef Chen, I am so sorry!
After you are gone, I will definitely inherit your legacy!
I will save all the beauty in this world!
Even if it is beyond my ability, I will fight until the very last moment for you!
You can play and sing with peace of mind!
I will remember your final elegy in my heart!
You will always be my mentor!
My idol!
In a moment of sorrow, Ren Xiao tried hard to lift her spirits, reluctantly waiting to listen to the farewell song that Chen Zao would leave for her.
The others mocked Chen Zao with cold sarcasm: "He actually wants to sing? Hah, this stinky chef still wants to dance a little before dying, even worse than a toad."
Old Rot was worried that Chen Zao would ruin his young master's guitar and shouted, "Stupid chef, be careful! If your hand is injured, don't push yourself. If you can't play, don't mess around!"
Chen Zao arrogantly raised his right hand, which was bandaged, and said to Lao Luo, "You people have such a narrow view. You wouldn't understand; only hands that have bled can truly play the world's greatest melodies!"
"Ugh—!"
Chen Zao's words drew a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Ren Ling listened to Chen Zao and felt a stirring in her heart.
An inexplicable sense of anticipation arose within her.
This chef spoke so arrogantly; could it be… he really had some skill?
Hu Rengui, who had just been mocked by Chen Zao, seized the opportunity to sarcastically retort, "You really are going for a great melody—your last song! Hahaha! After you sing, I'll personally send you to the underworld! But before that, please don't pollute our ears! I just sang the brightest star in the sky for Third Sister; if you dare ruin the beautiful feelings she just experienced, I Hu Rengui will make sure you wish you could die again in the afterlife!"
Chen Zao pinched his fingers together to form a shape the size of a soybean and pointed it at Hu Rengui. "In your eyes, The Brightest Star in the Night Sky is just a woman. Heh heh, your perspective on life is so limited; this is even after you've inflated it."
Chen Zao's words infuriated Hu Rengui but amused Shilian Zhi and others; Ren Ling nearly laughed out loud as well.
In that moment, her anticipation for Chen Zao grew even stronger.
This chef had a particularly unique way with words.
He seemed to be more than just an ordinary character.
Chen Zao's next move truly caught Ren Ling's attention!
After strumming the strings, Chen Zao did not continue playing but instead muttered, "What a piece of junk this guitar is; not a single note is in tune!"
He actually twisted the tuning pegs to retune the guitar!
From behind, Ren Ling watched Chen Zao perform the familiar tuning actions, and her beautiful eyes instantly sparkled with clarity!
Her previously displeased expression transformed into one of intense interest and curiosity.
A wave of exploration surged within her.
Ren Ling listened carefully as Chen Zao tuned the strings by ear, greatly impressed: He really knows how to tune! It's perfectly done!
Is he a guitar master?
How interesting!
So fascinating!
