Chen Zao watched warily as several Female Guards walked away before turning to leave himself.
As he climbed over the hill, his feet suddenly slipped as if greased, and he took off running like the wind, eager to leave this troublesome place as quickly as possible.
He feared that those Female Guards might turn back and shoot at him from a distance, which would be unbearable for him.
Right now, he was not afraid of open attacks; he was more concerned about hidden dangers!
With a perverse organization like the Divine Bow Corps, which would aim red dots at you over the slightest disagreement, Chen Zao truly did not want to provoke them again.
He could guess that Ren Ling wanted to discuss a collaboration on selling food that night.
If Ren Ling really wanted to do this business, she should come to his territory to talk. He was not going to get close to the Divine Bow Corps easily; he did not want to be constantly targeted by arrows. The pressure was immense. Especially since he bore the hopes of humanity from another dimension, he was even less willing to take such meaningless risks.
When Anqi and the others returned to the War Strategist Office, Ren Ling had already happily escorted a group of Young Masters away.
That night had been fruitful, leaving Ren Ling radiant and in high spirits!
Sitting alone in the strategist's hall, she had Cai'er prepare some fine light tea and set aside a gold bar weighing one gram as a generous gift, intending to win over Chef Chen.
However, she saw Anqi and the others returning empty-handed.
Ren Ling's delicate brows furrowed as she asked, "Where is Chef Chen? Did you not catch up with him?"
"We caught up with him, but he... refused to come back with us and even injured Han Peng."
"What!"
Hearing that Chen Zao had injured the Special Gatekeeper of the Commander's Office, Ren Ling felt a surge of annoyance.
At the same time, she was a bit surprised; that Gourmet Chef didn't look like a martial arts expert at all. How did he manage to injure Han Peng?
Anqi and the others vividly recounted everything that had just happened to Ren Ling.
After listening, Ren Ling was astonished and pressed for details: "He kicked Han Peng out of commission with one kick? Where did he kick him? The groin? Was it a sneak attack?"
Cai'er exclaimed angrily, "How can someone be so despicable! He challenges someone to a duel and then resorts to sneak attacks!"
"No, no, it wasn't a sneak attack," Anqi quickly shook her head to explain to Ren Ling. "He officially challenged Han Peng and then rushed over to kick him away. Han Peng didn't even have time to react before he was taken out. Chef Chen's cultivation level is definitely not beginner; he's a very strong martial artist."
Another Female Guard added embellishments, "I've never seen anyone move so fast! That kick was like thunder; an ordinary martial artist wouldn't be able to block it! His cultivation level is definitely not beginner, absolutely not!"
The Shoehorn Face Female Guard said angrily, "His cultivation is indeed very high, but his character is severely lacking! Military advisor, how can someone so powerful actively challenge the guards to duels? It's just bullying! Not only that, he wants to challenge Anqi's team and each of us as well! It's simply shameless!"
Anqi and the others nodded with wry smiles, agreeing that Chen Zao was indeed a bit thick-skinned. They had never seen such a bully in martial arts before.
Ren Ling wore a frown as she pondered deeply and asked Anqi several key details, gradually guessing Chen Zao's purpose in wanting to challenge several guards one by one.
He probably wasn't as powerful as these guards described him to be.
At least he didn't have the absolute strength to crush a few guards.
That's why he had to put on a brave face and challenge a group of guards one-on-one to avoid being beaten up by them.
Looking at it this way, he really is a tough character who is unwilling to suffer any losses.
This chef is quite interesting.
Ren Ling seemed to understand Chen Zao's thoughts.
Upon further reflection, however, it felt strange.
Since this chef has a personality that refuses to take any losses, why did he not take the thousands of gold coins offered at the War Strategist Office and instead prefer those worthless antiques, the Silver Pot?
It couldn't be that he wanted to save these old items that hold heritage and beautiful significance, could it?
What kind of secret is hidden behind this chef?
People who read a lot in the apocalypse tend to have this annoying habit of digging deep into matters.
Ren Ling's curiosity about Chen Zao's identity grew stronger.
After asking about the events leading up to the fight tonight, Ren Ling understood everything; the conflict between Han Peng and Chen Zao arose from an incident involving washing the Chamber Pot at the Commander's Office entrance.
A Gourmet Chef who can play enchanting nocturnes with both hands and create extraordinary dishes actually got into a duel with a gatekeeper over a Chamber Pot.
This feud… left Ren Ling speechless. Could it get any more boring?
This guy is really quite obsessive and eccentric!
Ren Ling could imagine that Chen Zao must be in a bad mood tonight. Since he was unwilling to come to the War Strategist Office to discuss cooperation, Ren Ling wouldn’t force him.
Once things calmed down a bit and the people from the Divine Bow Corps were less averse to Chen Zao, and Chen Zao no longer held such an antagonistic attitude towards the Divine Bow Corps, she would personally approach this Gourmet Chef to discuss cooperation.
She absolutely wouldn’t miss out on such an extraordinary Gourmet Chef just because of a tall, handsome gatekeeper and a Chamber Pot.
This chef, Ren Ling was determined to secure him and study him thoroughly.
On the other side.
Chen Zao had run all the way from Linglong Cliff to the camp of the Ren Family Army.
Ren Xiao had been waiting at the camp gate for Chen Zao.
Seeing Chen Zao panting as he approached, Ren Xiao curiously asked, “Chef Chen, why are you running? Is someone chasing you?”
“No one is chasing me; I’m just hungry! I’m in a hurry to cook!”
Upon hearing this, Ren Xiao's face lit up with joy as she quickly took Chen Zao by the hand and ran towards a two-story cylindrical building nestled in the mountains.
This two-story structure, built from blue bricks, resembled a chubby fortress or perhaps a restaurant, rather than a military dormitory.
Ren Xiao rarely came to stay here because it was too far from the engineering department, about seven or eight miles of mountain roads. It would take over an hour to reach it by climbing over hills, so she preferred not to stay here unless absolutely necessary.
However, it wasn't far from Ren Family Fortress; climbing to the top of the mountain, crossing an iron suspension bridge, and then traversing two more mountains would lead directly to Ren Family Fortress.
This building was constructed for Ren Tang during his teenage years when he served in the military. His mother, worried about his well-being and fearing he wouldn't eat or rest properly, commissioned someone to build this place for him to rest and cook.
After Ren Tang left the military, the building remained abandoned.
It wasn't until this year when Ren Xiao joined the military that the Logistics Team dormitory in the engineering department was filled with male soldiers, making it inconvenient for her to stay. Only then did Ren Tang lend her this nostalgic "Kitchen Tower" for her accommodation.
Chen Zao was quite impressed to hear this place referred to as "Kitchen Tower." He thought to himself that Ren San Shao Ye (Ren Tang) had quite a connection with him; despite being separated by hundreds of years, he managed to have a building constructed for him. This foodie friend was someone he definitely wanted to befriend.
That evening, Chen Zao was in high spirits as he treated Ren Xiao to an excruciatingly spicy hot pot feast inside the sweltering Kitchen Tower.
After finishing their meal, both of them were nearly fainting from the stench of their own sweat, but their mouths were satisfied from the explosion of flavors!
For the next three days, Chen Zao continued to rest and stay in Kitchen Tower, having no desire to sell food. His heart longed to return to Golden Age and sell Silver Pot.
