"Me? What kind of crazy idea could I have?"
Lin spread his hands, not quite understanding what the bearded man meant.
"Hey? You've brought your girlfriend to the Summer Training Program, and you still don't have any crazy ideas? Young man, you need to learn some restraint!"
Seeing the bearded man's mischievous expression, Lin felt incredibly embarrassed. He knew he couldn't explain himself at that moment; doing so would only make things worse. Let him think whatever he wanted!
"But there's one thing I must tell you: your girlfriend can't participate in the Special Training here. I can only give her a Special personnel status. As for what happens when you get to Wuyuan Star, you'll have to negotiate with the academy..."
After a brief pause, the bearded man stroked his chin and continued, "Lin, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to enter the Fourth Academy and not our academy?"
"I've made my decision long ago. Let's not bring up Teacher Bai anymore; I won't go back on my word."
Seeing Lin's firm attitude, Bai Quexin could only sigh softly, "Then it's up to you. I can't help you with the identity issue at Wuyuan Star."
"Then I still want to discuss the training plan!"
The bearded man stood up to leave, but Lin quickly called out. However, the teacher just waved his hand dismissively and replied, "We'll discuss those details after I assess your strength tomorrow!"
After this conversation, Lin Ye understood that Bai Quexin was trying to poach him for the First Academy. When he realized it wouldn't work, he lost interest and decided to leave.
In this situation, Lin Ye didn't insist on keeping him and naturally escorted Bai Quexin out.
Once Bai Quexin was gone, Lin Xin felt unsettled. Arriving at the Summer Training Program felt different from before; although the relaxed feeling hadn't faded, there was now a weight on his shoulders—a heavy burden from academic pressure.
After pondering for a long time, Lin's mood finally calmed down a bit. He thought to himself: I need to prioritize my Martial Arts training; relying solely on Bone-Softening Palm and Left-Handed Blade is clearly insufficient. Once formal training begins, I should also seek Bai Quexin's advice and choose two good Martial Arts techniques.
Having figured this out, Lin You sent an email to the admissions teacher at the academy inquiring about Dream Source.
To his surprise, within three minutes of sending the email, a video call came back immediately. The academy was quite attentive regarding Lin's situation.
It was still that chubby female teacher. For any request from Lin, she would just smile and say, "No problem! No problem!"
Initially thinking that dealing with Dream Source would be complicated, he didn't expect that after just a couple of sentences, they had already started collecting information about Dream Source and were preparing to handle his enrollment procedures right away.
After the female teacher ended the call, Lin was still a bit dazed. The phrase "no problem" echoed in his ears, making him truly wonder if he had been tricked or if he was indeed being taken advantage of.
Thinking about the embarrassment of the Fourth Academy, the number of students recruited by the Martial Arts Academy over the years could be counted on one hand. It was no wonder that the academy was unhappy to hear that Lin was bringing more people in.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Zhen found himself with nothing to do. He wandered around aimlessly and, for some reason, ended up at the place where Dream Source and the others were.
As he saw the sun setting, the afterglow of the sunset enveloped the ground, casting a golden halo around those busy figures, making them look almost like immortals.
Today, in preparation for the bonfire party, classes had been dismissed early for the students. Everyone was quite enthusiastic, not because they were welcoming Lin's arrival, but simply for the sake of the party.
No one cared what the purpose of the party was; they only knew that there would be no training and they could eat and drink to their heart's content. That alone was enough to excite everyone.
"What are you all doing?"
Lin Qing asked as he walked around to the back of the crowd.
He saw Dream Source and her group busily stacking firewood together, building a stove with large stones beside it, and placing a big Iron Pot on top. They turned around and said, "Can't you see we're preparing a cooking station?"
Perhaps because Dream Source was very beautiful, she was always surrounded by a group of boys who were fawning over her, asking about her well-being. Dream Source seemed oblivious to this and greeted them warmly.
This made Lin feel somewhat uncomfortable; it was like having cat claws scratching at his heart. He felt restless and wanted to step forward to scold those guys, shouting for them to stay away from his girlfriend!
But doing so would be too immature; it might seem domineering but would actually be looked down upon.
Thus, Lin Xin shifted his gaze and looked up at the newly built stove. Suddenly he had an idea; if he wanted to gain their respect, he needed to make a natural show of strength!
As a chef, what he needed to do was naturally to prepare a delicious meal!
"Dream Source, are you all planning to cook?"
He stepped closer to Dream Source, took her hand deliberately in a friendly manner. He wanted to warn those annoying boys that she was his girlfriend.
"Yes! You just arrived in time; I almost forgot about you. You can help us cook! Let me tell you, my boyfriend is a great chef! He's amazing!"
Seeing Dream Source boast proudly to others made Lin Ye feel honored. He cleared his throat and asked, "What are you planning to cook?"
"Come and take a look, this is the beast they just caught today, it's going to be stewed for eating, along with some unknown mushrooms. I don't even know if they are edible..."
Snow Dance Senior was very enthusiastic, leading Lin and Mengyuan towards the back.
As soon as Lin and his group left, the students erupted in discussion, speculating about Lin's background. For the students on Azure Planet, they all knew Lin was the annual Dark Horse, but those outsiders were unaware.
"Who is this guy? He isn't even that handsome, yet he can be the boyfriend of Dream Goddess?"
"Come on, look at your big teeth; I really don't know who gave you the courage to think you're handsome."
"Shh, keep it down. The one who just left is Chef Lin; he is the most impressive one to come out of Azure Planet."
"He's just a cook; what's so impressive about that? Your boss isn't Lu Liang, who claims to be the best of the best from Azure Planet."
"You guys don't know this, but Lin Yuan is a cook, but he's not just any cook. He uses Martial Arts to cook. Before the Star League Examination, he casually defeated Lu Liang and is known as the strongest Dark Horse of the year!"
This discussion immediately raised Lin's profile at the Summer Training Camp, and some eager individuals shouted that they wanted to see Lin cook.
They were curious to see what was special about cooking with Martial Arts!
Lin Ye would soon make them understand what truly remarkable culinary skills were!
