Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

These words were like a wake-up call. Li Jinwen gave a bitter smile. If that was really the case, he could only offer his blessings. After all, he was the one who had wronged Lin Shiyin first.

Chu Liuxiang thought of Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er, his three confidantes. Could they also be abducted?

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Luckily, Brother Lin is only fourteen. If he were a few years older, it would be terrible!"

Hua Manlou, though blind, saw things most clearly and said, "If that's the case, it would be best for you, Brother Li."

Li Jinwen smiled wryly. Although it was unpleasant to hear, it was the truth.

He sighed silently and said, "My elder brother has gone to the Li residence. I need to go there to make arrangements. Everyone, I'll take my leave now."

"I'll see you off."

Chu Liuxiang led Li Jinwen out to the courtyard and asked Lin Shiyin, "Shiyin, why don't you come with me first?"

Lin Shiyin snorted, "No, cousin. My brother and I will share a room tonight." She wanted to annoy Li Jinwen, who had agreed to leave Long Xiaoyun in Baoding, but ended up bringing him over anyway.

This cousin is really not worth keeping.

Li Jinwen gave a wry smile. "Shiyin, don't say things out of anger."

"I'm not saying this out of anger," Lin Shiyin said calmly, looking at Zhang Sanniang, "Sanniang, can I borrow my younger brother for a while?"

Zhang San Niang was also very generous, stepping aside, "You come here!"

"No, what do you want to do?" Lin Zhu was about to get up. He was a little afraid that Lin Shiyin would do something excessive, and then a flying dagger would come flying at him.

"Sit down!" Lin Shiyin pressed Lin Zhu down, then looked at Li Jinwen, "Watch carefully."

He gave Lin Zhu a quick kiss on the cheek.

The light in Li Jinwen's eyes dimmed instantly. He knew that Lin Shiyin was extremely disappointed in him now, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a thing in public.

But I still find it hard to accept.

The courtyard fell silent instantly. Chu Liuxiang was also dumbfounded, then cautiously looked at Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er, 'You three, please don't do anything rash!'

No, Chu Liuxiang wasn't as harsh on them as Li Jinwen was on Lin Shiyin.

After pausing for a while, Li Jinwen sighed, "Then I'll be going now." Perhaps this was the best outcome.

Lin Zhu turned to look at Lin Shiyin and asked, "Are you really sleeping with me tonight?"

Li Jinwen stumbled slightly as he left, but he didn't turn back.

Zhang San Niang slapped him across the face, "Sister Shiyin is sleeping with me tonight, what are you thinking!"

“Exactly!” Lin Shiyin gently patted Lin Zhu’s head. “You’re such a little devil. I was just using you to annoy him.”

"Use it and then throw it away, how annoying!" Lin Zhu's eyes also dimmed.

He sighed inwardly. Perhaps none of those present, including Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong, regarded him as a real man.

Even though she knew his true identity, her affection for him was genuine.

Otherwise, Lin Shiyin wouldn't have kissed him on the cheek so naturally.

'I'll take care of you all sooner or later.'

That evening, before going to bed, Lin Shiyin came to visit, and she seemed a little reserved.

Of course, I didn't come here to sleep with Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu treated himself as the welfare distributor of the chat group system, and doubled Lin Shiyin's storage space.

In the following days, the capital city gradually became lively again. Not to mention inns, even many private houses were rented out.

In a small alley on Zhuque Street, five young people were eating and drinking heartily.

"Fifth brother, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You will definitely have a place in the God of Cookery competition."

"Hehehe, Third Brother, you flatter me. But, if I become famous, will I really be able to find my mother?"

"Of course, if you can win the title of the world's number one chef, you'll be famous all over the world, and your mother will definitely come looking for you then."

"Third brother is right. Fifth brother, work hard, and your mother will definitely come looking for you."

Who are these five people? The eldest brother is Zhang San, the second brother is Li Si, the third brother is Kou Zhong, the fourth brother is Xu Ziling, and the fifth brother is Shi Zhongjian.

Kou Zhong suggested that Brother Gou come to the capital to participate in the God of Cookery competition. As long as he became famous throughout the world, he wouldn't have to worry about Brother Gou's mother not coming to find him.

Zhang San and Li Si came from the overseas Xia Ke Island. They weren't here to issue any decree to reward good and punish evil in the Central Plains; they were simply here for training, and incidentally, to reward good and punish evil as well.

But there's no way to take them to Xia Ke Island. There are too many powerful figures in the Central Plains, and the two island lords, Long and Mu, probably can't handle them.

The five people met by chance and ended up together.

"Okay, big brother, I'll try my best." Dog Brother cheered himself up in a simple and honest way. For the past few months, he had been cooking all the meals for Kou Zhong and the other three.

They've all become so picky about food.

"I wonder if Brother Lin will come," he suddenly said.

Kou Zhong said, "Such a big matter, he should come, right?"

"Probably." Xu Ziling nodded.

Chapter 117 It really shines!

A month later, at the end of Zhuque Street, a large exhibition booth was erected in a square that was a hundred feet long and wide.

Two hundred and fifty-six master chefs and their assistants stood in front of two hundred and fifty-six stoves.

They were then divided into eight regions: east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast, with thirty-two people in each region.

Each region has four judges, two of whom are Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, who are judges for the preliminary rounds.

Lin Zhu and his team stood below the stage, watching the competition with the audience.

He was somewhat surprised to see Brother Gou and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling standing beside him.

Dog Brother and the other two had keen senses and immediately made eye contact with Lin Zhu.

"Look, it's Brother Lin!" Dog Brother said, slightly excited.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also waved enthusiastically.

Lin Zhu waved in response.

"Do you know them?" Zhang Sanniang asked.

With Huang Rong gone, she and Song Tian'er are now Cook Ding's assistants, and Jing Tianming has been sidelined.

“Yes, a few new friends I met in Yangzhou,” Lin Zhu said with a smile.

Off the field, Zhang San and Li Si also noticed it.

"Second brother, do you think we should go over and get to know them?"

Li Si said, "If you say it's over, then it's over."

“Then let’s go.” Zhang San led Li Si over. “Greetings, everyone! My name is Zhang San, and I am Brother Shi’s sworn brother. I have met you all.”

Li Si: "I am Li Si, greetings to you all."

Lin Zhu sized them up. One was dressed in a bright red robe, and the other in a deep blue robe. They were called Zhang San and Li Si, so they must be the two from Xia Ke Island.

They are all at the level of a half-step Grandmaster.

"My name is Lin Zhu. I greet you both." Lin Zhu cupped his hands in greeting, and the people around him also bowed in return.

The others were fine, but Zhang San Niang seemed a little uneasy.

Li Ji couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Zhu suddenly realized this as well, but was too embarrassed to laugh.

"Brother, you should change your name," Li Si said.

"My name was given to me by my master and cannot be easily changed. It's just a coincidence," Zhang San said, seemingly unconcerned.

There are many people named Zhang San, does that mean they are all sons of Zhang San's mother?

But it was still a bit awkward, so the two just said hello and then left.

Zhang San Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

The exhibition booth was already bustling with activity.

There are 256 stoves, but there are more than 256 people, including the head chef's assistant.

There was also a child, about thirteen or fourteen years old, who was the head chef. The two women, one older and one younger, were his kitchen helpers in the southwest area.

The three of them, Paoding, Huang Rong, and Song Tian'er, are in the Northeast region.

In the East District, besides Dog Brother and his group, there is another rather comical person who attracts attention. He has superb knife skills and is accompanied by two assistants, one old and one young.

In the southeast area, a group of three burly men attracted attention: one carried a seven-star knife, another held a steel rod, and the head chef was a middle-aged man wearing a hat. They made quite a commotion.

"Big Mouth, look how amazing they are! Quickly learn from them and see if you can try cooking a few dishes when you get back."

"Shopkeeper, it's not that easy. My cooking skills are far inferior to theirs."

Lin Zhu heard the voice and turned his head to look. He felt that the figures of the people who were speaking were somewhat familiar.

“That’s right, that’s right. Big Mouth’s cooking skills are just so-so. Shopkeeper, you’re asking too much of us,” said the woman with the big mouth.

"Guo Furong, you've gone too far!" The fat man was a little annoyed. He said he could do it, but others said he couldn't.

"Xiao Guo, you really went too far."

The people speaking are Tong Xiangyu, Li Xiulian (Li Dazui), Guo Furong, and Bai Zhantang, from Tongfu Inn in Qixia Town.

Lu Qinghou was studying at the inn and didn't come to join the fun.

“Absolutely, my cooking skills have improved these past few days,” Li Dazui said. “My uncle-master even passed on his roasted pigeon skills to me.”

Bai Zhantang patted Li Dazui on the shoulder, "Dazui, you should probably keep your distance from your uncle. You might accidentally gain cooking skills but lose your treasure."

"What treasure do I have on me?" Li Dazui scoffed, then continued looking at the exhibition stand.

"Sigh!" Bai Zhantang sighed. He couldn't say this outright; the kitchen at Nanlaiwang was no pleasant place.

Not long ago, Guo Juxia went to Guanzhong to inspect his son-in-law, and then advised him to hurry to the capital to take the imperial examination.

While Lü Qinghou was still pondering, Tong Xiangyu was already interested. She sold the inn, returned to Hanzhong, and found investors, planning to open a Tongfu Inn in the capital.
