CHAPTER 83: 83. I CAME UP THE MOUNTAIN MYSELF [ASKING FOR RECOMMENDATION TICKETS]

Even though Huaikong had downplayed Wen Ping’s abilities as much as possible, it still gave Mo Lin a glimmer of hope and surprise.

Mo Lin thought for a moment. Since Su Li was unreachable, he could only look for another medicinal chef. He had already considered asking someone else for help. He had just wanted to ask Huaikong to assist him, but upon hearing Huaikong say that Wen Ping’s medicinal culinary skills were not inferior to his own, he felt pleasantly surprised.

No Su Li.

With two medicinal chefs helping, there should be no problem.

Mo Lin immediately said, "Then I’ll trouble Brother Huai."

After speaking, Mo Lin promptly said to Jiang Yueye, "Send someone to find Wen Ping and have him come down the mountain."

Jiang Yueye nodded.

After Jiang Yueye left the house, he immediately dispatched the guard who had been following Mo Lin to ride swiftly up Yunlan Mountain.

At this time, Wen Ping had just finished cultivating not long ago and was preparing in the kitchen to showcase his skills and eat another serving of Moonlight Dumplings. Because the system told him, eating Moonlight Dumplings frequently was only beneficial to his body.

Huai Ye and the others had gone to the Gravity Field early in the morning, as having acquired the Pseudo-Pure Body, they were nearly invincible in the same realm, so they were even more eager to pursue realm cultivation.

But just as they were walking to the edge of the square, their gaze fell on a young man dressed in splendid attire and exuding an aura of elegance. Seeing him suddenly approach, they looked around, asking the person beside them, "Is he looking for you?"

The Mountain Dog was laughing, trailing not far behind, licking its paws and seemingly waiting for something.

The young man walked towards them and then shouted to Huai Ye and the others, "Immortal Sect members, hold on, I have something to discuss with you."

"What’s the matter?" Zhao Yi stopped and responded.

The young man continued, "Our Branch President of the Hundred Sects Alliance in Cangwu City has some matters with Sect Leader Wen and needs him to come down the mountain with me right now. Can any of you quickly inform him? Time waits for no one."

Upon hearing this, Huai Ye and the others looked displeased because the young man’s tone was too arrogant and disrespectful.

Nobody really wanted to continue paying attention to him, but knowing he was from the Hundred Sects Alliance, they could only tug at Zhao Yi’s sleeve, saying, "Junior Brother, take him to see the Sect Leader."

Zhao Yi nodded in agreement and led the young man towards the kitchen. Since Zhao Yi was new and seeing he was from the Hundred Sects Alliance, he dared not be negligent and maintained a respectful demeanor all the way.

However, in the young man’s eyes, this was his source of satisfaction, strolling with a feeling of a big man visiting a mountain village.

Once he saw Wen Ping, he assessed Wen Ping a few times and then spoke respectfully, "Sect Leader Wen, my master is President Mo Lin, who asked me to bring you down the mountain right now."

"I’m busy."

To this, Wen Ping merely replied indifferently.

The young man was taken aback for a moment and then continued, "Sect Leader Wen, it’s President Mo Lin who is seeking you."

"I know, but I’m busy."

Wen Ping responded again, but the answer remained the same, as if he hadn’t heard the emphasis in the young man’s previous statement.

The young man looked speechlessly at Wen Ping, especially seeing Wen Ping chopping meat, his face grew increasingly helpless. He mused inwardly, does Wen Ping not know who Mo Lin is?

Just as he was about to speak again, Wen Ping said, "If President Mo Lin has something urgent, let him come up the mountain personally to find me. I’m busy today and can’t come down. Zhao Yi, escort him down, don’t bring anyone looking for me when I’m busy in the future."

Zhao Yi nodded and then made a gesture asking the young man to leave.

The young man hastily tried to speak again, wanting to say more, but Zhao Yi interrupted him, "Please come this way."

After seeing Zhao Yi’s determined gaze, in a helpless situation, the young man could only be taken down the mountain by Zhao Yi.

However, the journey down the mountain felt particularly lengthy.

As he walked, he began to ponder how to explain when he returned.

When he got back to the Hundred Sects Alliance branch, standing on the street looking in, his heart was pounding consistently, eventually stepping straight up to the top floor and gently knocking on a room’s door.

Knock~

Knock~

Anxiously awaiting Jiang Yueye quickly went over to open the door.

Looking at Jiang Yueye’s gaze, the young man helplessly lowered his head.

Jiang Yueye seemed to sense something unusual and then moved her gaze outside the door, glancing around but didn’t see Wen Ping and promptly asked, "Where is Sect Leader Wen?"

This question made the young man shiver all over.

The excuses he fabricated on the way were instantly forgotten, and in helplessness, he could only answer truthfully. But saying it made him fear that Jiang Yueye and Mo Lin would blame him, his every word was stammering, "Sect Leader Wen is cooking... said there’s no time to come down... also said if President has matters, he should go to Immortal Sect himself..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueye’s expression froze.

She had never expected that Wen Ping would outright reject Mo Lin’s request.

Even the Sect Leader of Kao Shan Sect wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, surely?

Especially hearing Wen Ping refused to come because he was cooking, her expression grew even more unpleasant.

Jiang Yueye heard the young man’s words sent to find Wen Ping, and Mo Lin standing aside naturally listened too, then he abruptly turned and said coldly, "Preferring to cook rather than come down, since when is my face, Mo Lin’s, so negligible? Wen Ping really has grown a temper some time away."

"Sir, Sect Leader Wen said it exactly like that, I didn’t add anything to it." The young man feared someone might think he embellished it, quickly spoke to clarify.

"Understood." Mo Lin grunted coldly, rather displeased, and could not help but say, "Looks like he’s not interested in passing his Star Promotion."

Jiang Yueye wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a heavy breath, and made an eye gesture at the young man nearby, then she also began retreating outside the room. However, after only a few steps, Mo Lin called her back.

Soon, Mo Lin’s cold voice followed, "Don’t bother to find him. Since he’s unwilling to come, let’s forget the Star Promotion issue."

Jiang Yueye was helpless and could only stop.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for Wen Ping; a Star Promotion issue got canceled because of such a thing, which was really not worth it.

She was very curious about what the guy was cooking that he dared not come despite Mo Lin’s call, even suggesting Mo Lin should come up the mountain himself.

At this moment, Mo Lin asked Huaikong at the bedside, "Brother Huai, do you have any solution?"

Huaikong shook his head.

Then his face showed a trace of helplessness, and after a silent moment, said, "President Mo Lin, if you want the old man to stay alive, I’m afraid you really have to personally go up the mountain to find Sect Leader Wen."

"What do you mean?" Mo Lin asked suspiciously.

Huaikong sighed and continued, "The old man’s critical condition is beyond my capability, and forgive me for hiding Sect Leader Wen’s skills previously. In fact, Sect Leader Wen’s abilities in medicinal cuisine exceed mine, and he’s not at all inferior compared to Su Li; now only Sect Leader Wen can save the old man."

"What?"

Huaikong said, "President Mo Lin, saving the old man is priority, please humble yourself first."

"I this..."

Mo Lin was speechless.

He had just revoked Wen Ping’s Star Promotion application, yet now the situation was reversed. From Wen Ping asking him to him needing to ask Wen Ping.

Having a Branch President personally seek a Starless Sect leader must be a rare sight indeed.
