"Your culinary skills have been recognized by an Elder from the Inner Sect Dining Hall!"
"From what I've observed, this Elder Xue is considering taking you as his disciple..."
"So, if you're willing to pay him a personal visit, I can arrange it for you."
"If you become Elder Xue's disciple, you'll no longer have to worry about the Purple Cloud Association interfering with the monthly exam," He Wenxuan continued.
That someone intended to recruit him was exactly what Zou Feng had expected before he arrived.
'Elder Xue from the Inner Sect Dining Hall?'
'It's not that I look down on the idea, but my main focus still has to be on cultivating my Evil Art.'
'My skill as a Spirit Chef is just a side hustle. It's fine to work on it in my spare time, but if I take a master...'
'I'd probably have to serve him every day, and I'd lose a great deal of my freedom.'
'In comparison, I'd much rather accept an investment from a True Inheritor.'
