After being stunned, Master Yun's expression turned grim, his old face flushed red. The Poverty Old Man was left speechless, wanting to say something but unsure what to express.
Fatty was still shouting, and Lin quickly gave him a light smack on the head. "Fatty, watch your words!"
"This thing was originally meant to be given to Master Yun. Master Yun has shown me kindness, so what does this little trinket matter?"
The two acted convincingly, and Fatty lowered his voice, saying, "But brother, that's not your treasured possession..."
"What do you mean 'but'? There is no 'but.' Since Master Yun values it, what’s wrong with me giving it to him?"
Amid the commotion, others began to understand their intentions. The Poverty Old Man and Qing Uncle realized this was another one of those two's tricks, and they had no idea what mischief was brewing in their minds.
Master Yun couldn't maintain his composure any longer. With a stiff smile, he placed the Play Stone into Fatty's hands and said, "It seems I have made a blunder; you two friends should not quarrel..."
"Ah! Master Yun, this is a gift from me to you; just accept it!"
Lin You snatched the Play Stone from Fatty's hands and shoved it back into Master Yun's hands, looking as if he was parting with something dear.
Seeing Lin's expression and reluctantly glancing at the Play Stone in his hand, Master Yun furrowed his brows tightly. He muttered, "No, my friend, a gentleman does not take what others cherish. I cannot accept such a gift..."
"But finding someone who appreciates Play Stone is rare. This humble Play Stone is nothing; Master Yun, please accept it."
Not only Lin but even Fatty seemed to have just realized something and urged, "Earlier I was reckless and lost my manners. Master Yun, please accept this stone!"
The two played off each other seamlessly, unknowingly changing their attitudes and insisting that Master Yun accept the Play Stone.
What should have been a customary gesture turned into a performance of "parting with something dear to meet a kindred spirit," transforming the act of gifting into Lin's affection for Master Yun.
This was a poorly written script; any astute person could figure it out with just a bit of thought.
The problem lies in the fact that Master Yun is too shrewd and has been famous for too long. No one has ever dared to perform such a scheme in front of him, so this premeditated act appeared to Master Yun as if the two were genuine individuals, truly excellent young talents!
"Well then, I will shamelessly accept it."
In the end, Master Yun was still overwhelmed by the dual pressures of affection and persuasion, happily accepting the Play Stone.
With this, today's events were more than half accomplished. Having received this favor from Lin, Master Yun would have to work hard to boast about Lin in the future. More importantly, this path had been paved.
From now on, Master Yun would be a significant boost to Lin's reputation in the Culinary World, and since the Culinary World had an inseparable connection with itself, it would naturally make Lin's culinary journey smoother.
After accepting the Play Stone, Master Yun was particularly generous with his words, patting his chest and promising to provide a detailed report on Lin's Whole Deer Feast.
Even more surprisingly, he wanted to take Fatty as his disciple, believing that Fatty had the potential of a gourmet and could be cultivated into a great talent in the future.
After some polite refusals and formalities, it was finally settled that Lin's report would proceed, and Fatty became Master Yun's registered disciple, with plans for further training before officially accepting him as a student.
...
They spent an entire morning at Master Yun's home and could only leave around noon.
Master Yun warmly invited them to stay for lunch. If it weren't for Lin and his companions insisting they had urgent matters to attend to and needed to hurry to the Summer Training Camp, they might have been kept until evening.
As soon as their vehicle left Master Yun's courtyard, Fatty chuckled and said, "No matter how cunning you are, you still fell into Fat Master's trap!"
"Alright, alright, stop showing off; you're the one with all the tricks!"
Having gained Master Yun's favor made Lin Ye very happy; the two hummed tunes all the way.
"You two troublemakers, I really don't know what to do with you!"
The Poverty Old Man chuckled, feeling that this outcome was much better than he had anticipated.
At the same time, the Poverty Old Man sighed, realizing that times were changing and so were people. He could no longer keep up with the thoughts of the younger generation.
From now on, it would no longer be the era of his old friends, but rather the time for Lin Ta and others!
Even the esteemed Master Yun would only serve as a stepping stone for these promising youngsters.
...
When Lin Ta and his companions returned home, it was still bustling with activity. Lu Meimei, Qin Wei, and Yuming were already waiting at home with their subordinates.
They had received news that Lin Jin was going to board a spaceship to the Summer Training Camp, and they had come specifically to see him off.
As everyone gathered, knowing that Lin was in a hurry, they didn't linger too long. They helped Lin tidy up things at home before heading to the boarding area.
A large group of people formed a convoy of Flying Cars, escorting Lin and Fatty to the boarding area.
It was still the grand examination venue, but at this time it was much quieter, with only one teacher waiting idly for their arrival.
Upon seeing Lin Ta and his friends arrive, the teacher quickly confirmed their identities and was particularly delighted.
He was worried that Lin and Fatty might not show up; that would have made things difficult for him.
According to the procedure, once Lin and Fatty boarded the ship, they would be able to leave. However, there was an unexpected twist regarding Dream Source's identity issue.
Without the qualification for Special Training, Dream Source could not board the ship. In the end, Lin contacted Lü Liang to ask Bai Quexin for a favor, which allowed Dream Source to board.
During the communication, Bai Quexin and Lü Liang appeared both helpless and happy. Bai Quexin stroked his chin and said, "You and that Fatty should arrive here first!"
"Brother, hurry up! I'm waiting for you!" Lü Liang was very excited, a smile on his face.
"Alright, let's discuss this in detail once I arrive. Teacher Bai, you need to find a way to resolve the identity issue of Dream Source for us."
"Sure! We'll talk more when you get here!"
With a slightly worried expression, Bai Quexin ended the communication. Lin Ye knew he had caused them trouble, but there was no other choice; Dream Source's identity was too special and could only follow him closely.
After all, Lin had a mysterious backing from Starry Radiance, so this matter would naturally be resolved properly; it just needed some time for the higher-ups of Wuyuan Star to digest it.
Once the boarding issue was settled, the three were ready to officially embark on their journey to Summer Training Camp, and they naturally needed to bid farewell to those seeing them off.
"Take care of yourself. While martial arts are important, don't neglect your culinary skills."
The elder's tone was unmistakably that of Poverty Old Man. Beside him, Qing Uncle was full of enthusiasm and chimed in, "Good kid, you have your own path; just go ahead and don't listen to your master's outdated theories!"
"You slacker, what are you saying?" Poverty Old Man reached out to tap Qing Uncle on the head again. This scene felt familiar to Lin, bringing a warm smile to his face.
