"Is it you?"
"Is it you?"
Luo Shuixi and the white-haired elder both exclaid in unison upon seeing Leng Xuan.
Leng Xuan also felt so surprise in his heart. It was already quite a coincidence to et Luo Shuixi here, but he had not expected the white-haired elder to be an acquaintance as well. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for this gentleman showing him the translated copy of the Jiuyang Divine Art, he wouldn’t have understood the contents of the Jiuyang Divine Art, and as a result, he wouldn’t have been able to learn the spell, much less disperse the chill toxin from Zhou Jingpeng’s leg so quickly.
Thus, Leng Xuan had always felt grateful towards the white-haired elder. After giving Luo Shuixi a glance, he turned to the white-haired gentleman with a smile and said, "What a coincidence, sir, I didn’t expect to et you again."
Indeed, the white-haired elder was the sa gentleman Leng Xuan had t a few days earlier at the Huaxia Library, and his other identity was the behind-the-scenes owner of the Imperial Cuisine House, nad Luo Qianzhang. In the culinary circles of Baiyun City, he was a figure comparable to the North Star, possessing quite a reputation.
Luo Qianzhang nodded at Leng Xuan as a sign of politeness and then exchanged a glance with Luo Shuixi before asking, "Xi’er, you know this young man as well?"
Although initially surprised, Luo Shuixi quickly reverted to her usual cool, frosty deanor. With a faint smile, she responded, "Yes, Grandfather, he is a schoolmate of mine, nad Leng Xuan."
"Elder Luo, you really carry yourself with quite the presence, huh?" Master Ling was curious about how Leng Xuan knew Luo Qianzhang, the old lad, and feeling a bit irked that Elder Luo seed to be ignoring his presence, he voiced his irritation.
Turning his head to look at Old Master Ling, Luo Qianzhang laughed and said, "I wondered who it was; it’s Elder Ling. Forgive my eyesight in old age; I almost didn’t recognize you. Ha ha, I ca here specifically to look for you. Oh, right, Xi’er, this is the very famous Old Master Ling I’ve told you about. Haven’t you greeted Old Master Ling yet?"
"Greetings, Old Master!" Luo Shuixi smiled and greeted him, but a flash of unusual brilliance twinkled in her eyes.
"Well, well, well, I never imagined Elder Luo would have such a grown granddaughter, ha ha, it really doesn’t seem like you, Elder Luo!" Old Master laughed heartily as he scrutinized Luo Shuixi more closely, feeling a slight shock in his heart, but he maintained a casual deanor and continued, "Elder Luo, you ntioned you ca specifically to find , is there sothing you need?"
Luo Qianzhang explained, "It’s like this, the chefs you sent over last ti ca back and ntioned that a guest at your house offered many valuable suggestions while comnting on their dishes. I don’t know who this guest is, but could you introduce to him? I would like to seek his advice, so the chefs could improve their skills."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ling glanced at Leng Xuan. He was a regular custor at the Imperial Cuisine House and had long been acquainted with Luo Qianzhang, with a quite good relationship at that. He couldn’t help teasing with a smile, "So it’s about that, huh? Is there a referral fee involved?"
With a wry smile, Luo Qianzhang replied, "Let’s say it’s my treat today, as long as Elder Ling introduces to that culinary expert."
Ling Tian looked at Leng Xuan with a smile, as if to say, "Looks like I’m basking in your glory today."
