It was like Lucian had said, he could walk out of this kitchen the sa person he had always been, letting others dictate who he was, or… he could beco soone great.
By taking the leap of faith, he could obtain what he dared not dream of in the past — strength. Also, his culinary skills could be elevated by many levels.
Just then, Lucian's voice interrupted his mixed thoughts, [You must decide now, Duan Mu. Ti is of the essence. Do you want to remain as you are? Then, forget everything I previously said. Or, do you want to rise above the limitations imposed upon you from birth? The choice is yours.]
Duan Mu was silent as he felt his heart clench at Lucian's words. The handso young man beside him was like the devil whispering in his ears, asking him to do evil.
The temptation was there even without the honey-laced words. Since that was the case, Duan Mu sighed, clenched his hands into fists, and looked into Lucian's sapphire blue eyes.
Then, Duan Mu got down on the floor. His knees slowly bent below his stomach, and his forehead was lowered to the ground.
To the side, i beca slack-jawed as she gazed at what could only be called a young man prostrating before another young man.
But that was not all. Before she could even blink, she heard the following words:

"Disciple Duan Mu greets Master!"
Following Duan Mu's shocking words, i tremblingly watched as Duan Mu lifted his forehead from the floor tiles before slamming his forehead down.
*Bang*
A loud thud echoed, and blood splashed as Duan Mu's forehead ca into contact with the floor tile.
After a slight wince, Duan Mu repeated the action two more tis.
And with Duan Mu's three kowtows, the Master-Disciple Ceremony ca to an end.
A frown ford on Lucian's face after reading the System Notifications. To say he was irked would be an understatent. [Why can't I view Luna's, Sylvia's, and Isabella's Status'?]
[Master, are you dissatisfied with the Master-Disciple Ceremony? Did I do sothing wrong? This is my first ti accepting a Master, so if I did sothing wrong, please tell . I can redo the ceremony]
As Lucian waited for the System's explanation, Duan Mu's worried voice resounded in his mind, to which he responded, [No. You did the ceremony correctly. I'm thinking of sothing else. Give a few monts. In the anti, observe the Siren's lody Eggs.]
Duan Mu was confused but chose to remain silent as he turned his gaze to the large pot.
As he looked at the eggs, he could not help but frown, 'What am I supposed to observe? The Vortex Poaching Technique? Even though I've never seen a Siren's lody Egg, the eggs seem normal. The color of each egg is the sa, the eggs are coagulating perfectly… Wait!? The Eggs are coagulating? How is that possible?
The eggs still need a minute before the egg whites are this thick.'
While Duan Mu was baffled by the strange scenario, the System finally replied to Lucian, [Host, Dao Immortal Lucian did not have a significant relationship with Crazed Witch Luna, The Seductress Sylvia, and the Perverted Maid Isabella. The relationship could barely be classified as acquaintances. You can only bla yourself for not reciprocating their feelings.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation.]
Upon hearing this, Lucian felt like an invisible arrow had pierced his heart.
But Lucian could only bla Dao Immortal Lucian. He had been indifferent to Luna's, Sylvia's, and Isabella's advances. Romance did not intrigue him; thus, this situation.
After taking a deep breath, Lucian turned his attention to Duan Mu and acted like nothing had happened after the latter accepted him as his Master.
[Good! Duan Mu, you've made the right choice. Once the news spread that I accepted you as my disciple, the amount of hatred and jealousy you'll receive could drown out the Mortal Plane.] Lucian chuckled.
Duan Mu beca startled, and with a nervous gulp, he asked, [Master, are you that famous?]
[Well, there was a ti when I was the most famous. Nowadays, I like to keep my identity hidden.] Lucian shrugged nonchalantly. He was not entirely lying, Mortal Chef Lucian, Dao Immortal Lucian, and Ancestral God Lucian were all famous. Their nas shook countless hearts.
'What is Master's true identity?' Duan Mu nervously gulped again as a hint of genuine respect blossod in his heart.
Duan Mu already suspected his Master's identity would be special; therefore, it was only natural for him to be quite renowned. But it seed his Master was even more famous than he initially thought.
Lucian continued indifferently, [Anyway, know this, from this mont forward, there will be no turning back. I demand from you nothing less than absolute dedication to learning.]
[Yes, Master!] Duan Mu respectfully bowed.
'Just what in Hell is happening? How did a cripple beco an Alchemy Chef's disciple?' i felt like she was about to go crazy with the events unfolding before her.
But unfortunately, unless i asked them, she would not receive an answer to her questions.
anwhile, Lucian nodded in satisfaction when he saw Duan Mu's bow.
