Chapter 380 A Familiar Encounter: The Swallows Return
Besides, Mira isn't stupid. Seeing the strange situation before her, why is everyone avoiding the two of them? A closer look reveals that everyone who tries to approach them inexplicably turns back. Who would believe it's not due to external force? It's clear that Li Muyang and Erii don't want to be disturbed.
Well, then I shouldn't be foolish enough to disturb their lovey-dovey display.
Therefore, Li Muyang and Erii had plenty of time to enjoy the food, and no one bothered them.
Because Mira was so sensible, Li Muyang and Erii pretended not to know or see when Mira was absent.
"...She just ran away like that?" Erii still found it hard to believe that Mira could have really escaped.
After all, for a princess to skip work so easily, isn't it a bit too easy? Nobody paid any attention the whole time! It's like they were all blind!
Li Muyang pointed at a minister and joked, "Wasn't this someone's idea? They wanted to give this princess a chance to go out and have some fun, so she won't have another chance like this in the future."
"I understand." Upon hearing this, Erii immediately understood what she meant. Wasn't this exactly how she had been before? She wanted to skip home and go out to play, thinking she had gotten away with it perfectly and no one would notice, but in reality, those who knew, knew.
Everything was under Genji's control.
"However, this minister seems to be overestimating himself, having prepared bodyguards for the princess." Li Muyang seemed to realize something and suddenly spoke meaningfully.
Actually, everything was going smoothly, but... Xiao Lan's appearance was definitely unexpected by Earl Keith. It was just that the original plot was going with the flow, and Xiao Lan was just filling in for him for a few days.
However, it did indeed put Xiaolan in great danger, even to the extent described in the original storyline, which was still very dangerous.
And this time...
A glint of incomprehensible light flashed in Li Muyang's eyes; things seemed to be getting interesting! An anomaly from the sidelines!
However, none of this concerns him.
If it's really Xiaolan who's in trouble, Li Muyang might be able to help, since they're friends after all. As for Princess Mira... we'll see, whether we'll run into her or not.
The main reason was that Li Muyang didn't believe that the group of "bodyguards" Keith had hired could handle the enemies they were going to face.
Unfortunately, this enemy may become Li Muyang's adversary in the future.
Erii noticed that Li Muyang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his previous state and continued to lead her to sample the food one by one, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
As they were enjoying their meal, Keith seemed to "discover" that Mira was missing and "hurriedly" sent people to look for her. Erii was speechless at this scene. "You guys should at least put on a little more serious acting! Anyone with eyes can see something's wrong! Anyone who didn't know better would think that Earl Keith was up to no good!"
Joking aside, the banquet was still affected and ended early. However, Li Muyang and Erii didn't rush to leave and continued to enjoy the food. It has to be said that the chef at this banquet was really good! Moreover, Li Muyang felt that the chef should be from the Great Xia Dynasty!
You can tell from some of the details of cooking!
In particular... it contains a power called "culinary heart," which can be said to be the prototype of the way of cooking.
Li Muyang really didn't expect that the development of culinary arts in this world seemed to be much more profound than he had imagined! The top students in his own school's culinary academy in the main world were probably only at about this level.
This really depends on talent.
He told his bodyguards to go find Mira, while Earl Keith was still apologizing to the guests at the venue—it was a matter of etiquette! Just as most of the guests had left, he saw Li Muyang and Erii walking over together.
"Earl, may I ask where you found the chef for tonight's banquet?" Li Muyang asked directly. "We are quite interested! We would like to meet him."
Earl Keith smiled politely and said, "Of course! Tonight's chefs are all chefs I invited from Totsuki Academy! Do you two like the dishes?"
Li Muyang and Erii nodded with faint smiles, they were indeed very satisfied!
Just as Keith was about to offer to make an introduction, three girls dressed in chef's uniforms arrived at the banquet hall.
To be precise, there were two very imposing figures, with one pulling another behind them.
They were afraid that their young lady would lose her temper and come over to scold the count.
Another black-haired girl with a high ponytail, Hisako Shinto, said that she had no say in this matter, and if she really scolded Count Keith, Count Keith would have to reflect on his mistake and apologize afterwards.
Who can blame them when their grandfather held a high position of power and had a great country behind him?
When Keith saw the three head chef girls rushing towards him, his lips twitched. He knew these girls had bad tempers, and he knew they would be very resentful if he abruptly ended the banquet! Li Muyang and Erii also noticed this and turned to look.
Both sides were taken aback.
"Huh? Mr. Li? Erii? You're here too?" Erina Nakiri, the God Tongue heiress of Totsuki Academy, lost much of her initial anger upon seeing Li Muyang and Erii, and instead greeted them with surprise.
"Huh? Miss? You know each other?" Hisako asked in surprise. She knew Erii, but not Li Muyang.
Erina nodded, then introduced the tall girl with a ponytail who was observing Li Muyang with great interest: "Senior Hong, this is the Li Muyang I mentioned to you."
"Hong Xiudie from the kitchen greets the immortal master." The girl with the ponytail then averted her gaze and respectfully bowed in greeting.
While Hong Xiudie was observing Li Muyang, Li Muyang was also staring intently at the girl with the ponytail.
Yet another entity outside the main plot.
"Hey classmate, don't be like that. I'm just an ordinary person. You're making me really uncomfortable." Li Muyang waved his hand, both amused and exasperated. For some reason, he found the girl in front of him inexplicably pleasing to the eye!
After Hong Xiudie finished her greeting, she stopped pretending and shrugged helplessly, saying, "Brother from the Immortal Realm, just accept it. My master told me that I must be polite to you and not be impolite, otherwise people will think that we chefs don't know any manners."
"Oh! By the way! My grandfather and Principal Zhang Xuanlin are old friends! He said that as long as I explain it this way, you will understand what he means."
Li Muyang raised an eyebrow, understanding now. This "old man" Hong Xiudie mentioned, a certain Mr. Hong, was also an old monster from above... oops! An old immortal! He just wasn't quite sure who it was.
"So... the three of you will be the head chefs for tonight's banquet?" Li Muyang asked with a smile, chatting casually.
The three young female chefs nodded. "That's right!"
"Oh, the only head chefs are Miss and Senior Hong. I'm just a kitchen helper," Hisako Shinto emphasized again.
Li Muyang waved his hand: "You're too modest. The porridge over there to cleanse your palate must have been cooked by Miss Hisako, right? It tastes very good!"
The secretary's eyes lit up immediately, and Erina was also a little curious: "What? Mr. Li has research in this area?"
Li Muyang smiled calmly: "The three of you have clearly different passions for cooking. I can probably guess who is who."
Without much thought, the chef with a domineering and cunning personality, but hiding a bit of darkness, is the God Tongue Lady's cooking skills. Then there's a chef with a golden dragon in her heart, and Li Muyang can even see many glittering golden kitchen utensils. This must be Hong Xiudie from the Great Xia Dynasty. The remaining healing type is naturally the secretary, Hisako Shinto.
Li Muyang's explanation made the three female chefs' eyes sparkle. To be able to perceive these things was no ordinary level! He definitely had done in-depth research! They were kindred spirits!
However, Erina Nakiri gave a wry smile, realizing that her lack of culinary skill had been detected by the taste.
Seeing Li Muyang chatting happily with the three female chefs, Erii was getting a little sleepy. She was good at eating, but when it came to tasting carefully and making a judgment... well, that was another story.
Fortunately, the group didn't talk for too long. After all, this was a banquet. The three chefs forgot about their visit to Earl Keith. When they learned that the two wanted to continue tasting, they took Li Muyang and Erii directly to the kitchen.
Eat it ready-made!
Incidentally, Li Muyang was also itching to show off his cooking skills!
During their conversation, Li Muyang also learned about Hong Xiudie's identity.
The culinary academy in Daxia, a certain New Oriental Culinary Academy, is an official key 985 university, the Tsinghua and Peking University of the culinary world, so its status is quite high.
She is the granddaughter of the school principal, Hong Anguo.
This Mr. Hong is equivalent to an academician-level national treasure in the field of cooking in the Great Xia Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to call him a contemporary culinary god.
And their ancestors were also acquaintances.
You know Chef Xiao Fugui, right? That's him.
You should know that Xiao Fugui's original surname was Hong.
As for Hong Xiudie's arrival at Yuanyue... nominally, it was to broaden her horizons abroad, but in reality, Hong Xiudie didn't know what her grandfather meant. As for what she was supposed to learn, there was no need! She was almost done with her studies at New Oriental! Those senior students weren't even worth her time! Only some of the teachers were somewhat worth considering.
When it comes to cooking skills, Hong Xiudie thinks Da Xia is the best!
Erina and Hisako's lips twitched uncontrollably. They knew that their senior, who had come to Totsuki Academy, had already defeated all the school's top chefs one by one.
Even including but not limited to several teachers, none of the Ten Outstanding Students, except for the top student, were easy for her to bully.
Li Muyang pondered for a moment, then casually remarked, "Is it possible that your old man thinks you're too much of a troublemaker, so he sent you neon lights?"
Hong Xiudie burst into laughter: "Haha! How could that be..."
In the end, she herself lost confidence.
Is that so? Probably...maybe...perhaps...no way? I only bullied the Lan family a few times, tricked the Xie family a little, occasionally tormented the Bai family, and sometimes challenged that stubborn girl from the Liu family to a duel.
Am I someone who likes to cause trouble?
It seems like they really can cause trouble.
Hong Xiudie lowered her head guiltily.
The others, including Li Muyang, couldn't help but laugh. *Ahem!* We're professionally trained! We don't laugh easily!
Unless you can't help it.
