Old Dugu!
You can just call me Old Dugu!
Yun Yang felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the words, his eyes reddening instantly. He was enveloped in a trembling emotion as he thought of the old man whom he had treated like a father!
Thinking about it, he sucked in a deep breath and said hoarsely, "I dare not. In my heart, Old Dugu can only be one person, but he can never be senior!"
"Oh?" Dugu Chou asked.
Yun Yang stood up and said, "It's rare to have a joyous gathering with all the seniors here today. I've come with a purpose in mind. Everyone knows this, so there's no need to hide it. Fortunately, all of you didn't chase me away on the spot. I'm grateful for your hospitality. No matter what the outcome is, I won't let today's gathering down."
He had gone from being cautious when facing the four experts to suddenly being bold. The drastic change in his emotions stunned the four men once again. They lifted their heads to look at him, their gazes filled with surprise.
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Since it's a joyous gathering, this junior should try his best. I'll cook a dish for all of you now, seniors, please have a taste."
He spoke slowly with deep emotion, "I'm ashamed to say this, but this is the only dish I know how to cook until now! However, it's also a lifelong signature dish that I'm confident I can serve! "
Ling Xiaozui could acutely feel that Yun Yang's emotions were not quite right, so he interjected, "What dish? Dare you call it a lifelong signature dish? "
Yun Yang grinned. "Cabbage and tofu."
At this moment, he was smiling, but the four people around him all felt that his smile was even more miserable than a cry.
Yun Yang turned around and asked, "Boss, do you have cabbage and tofu?"
…
A moment later.
An indescribable aroma slowly permeated the room.
The four men sniffed, surprise evident in their eyes. They did not expect this child to not be boasting! Just by smelling the aroma, they could already tell that the dish he had cooked was extraordinary!
Although it was the most common home-cooked dish, it had indeed reached the pinnacle of home-cooked dishes!
"Not bad! Not bad at all! It's a lifelong signature dish indeed! "
Dugu Chou sniffed the aroma in the air and said, "Back in the day, my wife had a signature dish as well … I've eaten it my entire life, but I've never had enough of it …"
"The reason this dish is a signature dish and it's delicious is that most famous chefs use their skills when they cook …" Dugu Chou said softly, "However, people like my wife and Yun Yang use their hearts when they cook."
"To be able to eat such a dish in this lifetime … Good, very good!"
Dugu Chou told Ling Xiaozui, "Dugu Chou," "Ling Xiao, this young brother of yours is really not bad. Whether it be to a horse or a person! You said that his arrival is an opportunity for everyone, and it's not a lie. "
Ling Xiaozui chuckled. "I thought you were going to beat him up."
Dugu Chou guffawed. "If he had remained the way he was when he first arrived, he wouldn't have been able to escape this beating. Not only would I beat him up, I'd beat you up as well. But now … "
He sniffed the aroma in the air that was growing thicker and said softly, "A small clue can reveal a big picture. Yun Yang is talented, but his outstanding looks are secondary. I'm more concerned about his feelings. He treats horses with sincerity; he treats people with sincerity … To be able to cook such an attentive dish, he must be someone who values his feelings to the extreme … Therefore, it can't be wrong."
"Moreover, the fact that he came to us shows that he's not inflexible and inflexible. In order to get to know the people he wants to know, he can even change himself."
"If I were to do evil, I would definitely become a hero of the world. If I were to do good, I would definitely become a Buddha!"
"A very good young man." Dugu Chou's tone deepened as he said, "Very good!"
The corners of Ling Xiaozui's eyes were smiling as he said, "I've always thought that this young man is not bad."
Feng Xiange smiled and said, "Not bad indeed."
The skeleton-like man said, "Not only is it not bad, it's also very amazing!"
"Amazing?" The three of them turned to look at him.
A young man who could be praised by the three of them could be considered one of a kind.
It was a first for a young man to be praised by Dugu Chou.
In spite of this, an even more extreme comment came from the man's mouth.
Amazing!
This comment was truly amazing!
The skeleton-like man grinned, condensing his voice into three lines and sending it into the three men's ears.
"Don't doubt my comment. What I said just now was rather reserved because the young man before me might be the most amazing person I've ever seen! You can't see how amazing he is because you're not me. That's all! "
Hearing this, Dugu Chou, Feng Xiange, and Ling Xiaozui paled in shock.
Amazing!
Can't see?
Not me?
There was actually someone in this world who dared to speak to the three of them like this.
This was truly amazing. They really could not see it!
Although the four of them were seated at the same table, drinking wine together, the reason for this outcome was only because of the current situation. It was because of the Qi interaction between them that they felt that their cultivation base was similar. Even if there was a difference, it would not be huge.
This was why the current conversation was held. The last person did not actually know any of the three men, but his words revealed his superior opinion. Ling Xiaozui and the other two men were the cream of the crop, the pinnacle of the world. How could they stand it?
"You say that we can't see it, but do you?" Feng Xiange snorted and asked with a sideways glance.
"Of course," the skeleton-like man replied.
"May I ask who you are?" Feng Xiange asked.
The skeleton-like man sighed and said, "The God of Wine has served us wine and we've had a great time at the beginning. I thought you've guessed who I am … Turns out that you haven't."
Feng Xiange frowned, speechless for a moment.
Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui exchanged a glance, deep in thought.
Dugu Chou had already vaguely guessed the identity of this skeleton-like man, but now he was even more certain of it.
The skeleton-like man smiled faintly and poured himself a full bowl of wine. He finished it in one gulp and said softly, "A word from me can perhaps save you from certain death … but a word from him can …"
As he said this, his face suddenly twitched, revealing a look of extreme pain. Then, with a puff, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He turned his head at the right moment, the blood that he had spat out flew out like an arrow and into the darkness.
But from the other side of the darkness, a scream suddenly came out.
The scream was only halfway through before it stopped abruptly. It was as if someone was coincidentally there and had been hit by the mouthful of blood. The person only had time to scream, but before his voice echoed in the air, he was already dead!
This time, Ling Xiaozui and the other two men were visibly shaken as they spoke in unison, "It's you! It's really you! "
