"Heavenly Master, if you’re here to drink tea now, just let them know if there’s anything you need done—I’ll take Qi Qi with to purchase ingredients."
After the al, Lin Fan led the senior Heavenly Master to the teahouse.
With a big shot like Zhou Weimin accompanying him.
There shouldn’t be any problems.
"Fine, then you go ahead."
The Heavenly Master wasn’t at all bashful.
Sitting in the teahouse, he chatted leisurely with Zhou Weimin.
Zhao Jiaqi was waiting on them by the side.
It was then that Lin Fan stepped out.
"Boss, is that really Mr. Zhang inside?"
Li Yizhen and Luo Jiuying, who had been waiting outside early, asked Lin Fan with astonishnt.
Even though they were considered big shots in Jiangning.
They could only wait outside when facing these two individuals.
After all, compared to these legendary figures,
they were as humble as dust and sand.
"Of course, and what’s more, he was very satisfied with Qi Qi’s cooking skills, and even promised to give her guidance. This ti, Li Qiqi is in luck."
Lin Fan smiled as he looked at the two of them.
"Really... my goodness... Boss, you actually managed to invite Mr. Zhang to co over; what can’t you do?"
Li Yizhen felt as if he were dreaming.
Such a person of legend, now actually sitting in his own mansion.
"Boss, maybe one of these days, you could introduce to a goddess for a look-see."
Luo Jiuying swallowed hard.
The arrival of the first person of the Taoist sect, that’s practically a living immortal.
"Get lost. You two just wait here and rember to bring out the good tea. Such esteed individuals won’t eat and drink for free."
Lin Fan gave the two a disdainful look.
Then he turned around and headed for the doorway.
At this mont, Li Qiqi had already changed clothes.
She was standing there, holding a vegetable basket.
As soon as she saw Lin Fan co out, she imdiately lowered her head.
"Lin Fan, I’m sorry, I was wrong!"
"What did you do wrong?"
Lin Fan walked up to Li Qiqi.
How had things gotten so complicated?
"I shouldn’t have kept you in the dark, learning from that forbidden book... but the spices recorded inside... they were truly my only chance... I just wanted to give you my very best."
Li Qiqi said with pursed lips, "All the won around you are stunning beauties, and I stand among them like an ugly duckling. Cooking is my only chance to hold on to you, I was afraid if I told you, you would object to it, so I have been keeping it from you... can you please not be mad anymore?"
"I’m not mad that you lied to , but this matter concerns your own safety—don’t you understand that?"
Lin Fan said coldly, looking at Li Qiqi: "If I’m not mistaken, this is probably your grandmother’s strategy, using various thods to gradually push you down the path of becoming a goddess. You have heard how strict the selection for the Five Poison Goddess is, aren’t you afraid of that?"
"Afraid... but I’m more afraid of losing you!"
Li Qiqi lifted her teary eyes and looked at Lin Fan: "I know you’ll say I’m being foolish, but I am truly willing to give everything to you, and I also know that you don’t accept now, but I will wait for the day when you will and strive to beco even better for it. I believe that one day, you will accept a different !"
"Silly girl, what’s the point of all this!"
It was the first ti Lin Fan had ever encountered such a sincere and heartfelt confession.
Li Qiqi’s determination surpassed that of Yang Linglong, and was even more genuine than Ning ngyao’s.
If it weren’t for her age,
Lin Fan really couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t do sothing unseemly.
"The man I’ve chosen, I have no regrets!"
Li Qiqi looked at Lin Fan defiantly.
Unbeknownst to the two of them at the mont,
Their wheels of destiny had already begun to turn.
"Alright, go buy the groceries."
Of course, the conversation couldn’t continue.
Lin Fan could only open the car door and gesture to Li Qiqi to co over.
For now, they had to get through the ordeal with Mr. Zhang first.
"Lin Fan, who exactly is that Daoist master? Why did Grandpa look so upset when he ca back?"
Li Qiqi sat in the passenger seat, curiously looking at Lin Fan.
Li Yizhen, who had just received the notification, had actually aborted the chess ga.
For a chess fanatic, this was unprecedented.
Even when he had found out before that Lin Fan had arrived, he wouldn’t have done so.
Moreover, Li Yizhen and Luo Jiuying were figures who could call the wind and summon the rain in Jiangning.
When was the last ti they trembled because they had to et soone?
It was simply unimaginable.
"The number one person in Taoism, Mr. Zhang, isn’t that enough?"
Lin Fan smiled as he looked at Li Qiqi.
However, upon hearing this, she remained as calm as ever.
"Is he very powerful?"
"Not just powerful, he’s practically a living immortal, a top-three entity on the Divine Ranking, what do you think?"
Only then did a look of joy appear on Li Qiqi’s face after hearing Lin Fan’s words.
"In that case, he must be able to help you, and I will make sure to treat him with all my heart."
"Cough cough... Did you not understand? A martial cultivator ranked within the top three thousand on the Divine Ranking, the number one person in Taoism, Mr. Zhang who has lived for over a hundred years, isn’t your reaction a bit too mild?"
Lin Fan coughed lightly.
Her reaction was indeed a bit impolite.
"The high-ranking individuals on the Divine Ranking an nothing to , nor does being the number one person in Taoism as I’m not a believer, and living longer has nothing to do with . All I need to know is if he can help you, everything else is inconsequential."
Li Qiqi’s response made Lin Fan suddenly reveal a wry smile.
"Yeah, when did I beco so worldly, always thinking about the other’s background and forgetting about myself? Sigh, it seems I have been in the secular world for too long, I’ve also been contaminated with a rcenary mindset."
"It’s not that Lin Fan is rcenary, it’s that I am naive and fearless."
Li Qiqi hurriedly comforted him from the side.
Only those who do not understand can be fearless.
"Alright, but if you think about it, your birthday has been over for a while now, and that mysterious grandmother of yours should be showing up. If you can win Mr. Zhang’s favor in this ti, I guarantee your grandmother won’t be able to bother you."
Lin Fan suddenly showed a sly smile.
The sword that had always been hanging over Li Qiqi’s head had been a headache for Lin Fan.
It was not that he feared her grandmother, but rather, like Ning Bingcai,
he couldn’t just directly eliminate her and get rid of the hidden danger for good.
There were many entanglents involved, so it was inevitable that the thunder would strike sooner or later.
But now, with the appearance of Mr. Zhang, Li Qiqi saw a glimr of hope.
If she could beco his disciple or seek his protection,
then not only her grandmother, even if emissaries from the underworld ca, they would have to think twice.
"Really? Then I will definitely do my best!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiqi instantly beca full of enthusiasm.
As long as she could escape the fate of becoming the Five Poisons Goddess,
that was better than anything else.
Moreover, she had an audacious idea.
If she could beco the old Heavenly Master’s disciple,
wouldn’t that make her almost like Zhao Jiaqi?
That way, she could stay by Lin Fan’s side even more permanently.
So tonight’s dinner was incredibly important for her.
Perhaps, this dinner could change her destiny.
