"Forget it, forget it. We are indeed short of manpower. Go and pick a few decent ones from the hundreds of people." However, after yelling for a while, he seemed to have calmed down and said to the skinny man beside him.
"Alright!"
After hearing the fat pig's words, the skinny man was overjoyed. He leaped up and actually scuttled out of the room like a nimble monkey.
After the skinny man left, the fat pig actually fell asleep and started snoring!
"Hundreds of people? Seems like this is an opportunity! "
After hearing the conversation between the two men, Xing Jue couldn't help but be tempted. Currently, he couldn't find the whereabouts of Princess Xin Xin and he couldn't hide all day, so he really needed an identity.
Right now, there were hundreds of commoners entering this place. They must have been urgently summoned here and might not know each other. Therefore, this was a rare opportunity for Xing Jue.
Xing Jue did as he said. He leaped up and left the room. Then, he changed out of the soldier's uniform and took out an ordinary cloth robe. It looked like a cloth robe, but it was actually a high-grade treasure.
Moreover, Xing Jue's speed was very fast. Even though the skinny man was as nimble as a monkey, he was soon overtaken by Xing Jue without anyone noticing. When Xing Jue followed the skinny man and arrived at a courtyard, he discovered that there were hundreds of people scattered in this small courtyard.
Although these hundreds of people were commoners, their strength wasn't weak. All of them had the strength of a Battle-Saint, and a few of them were even high-level Battle-Saints. At this moment, they were waiting excitedly and chatting with each other.
As for Xing Jue, he sneaked into the crowd and suppressed his aura to the level of a Battle-Saint in order to avoid causing unnecessary disturbances.
"Hey, brother, you are so young, yet you have already reached the Battle-Saint level. Your talent is not simple!" As soon as Xing Jue blended into the crowd, a burly man with the strength of a Battle-Saint came over and patted Xing Jue's shoulder with a face full of admiration.
"Heh ~"
Xing Jue smiled at the man's praise and ignored him. Instead, he squeezed through the crowd from the back. He knew that the skinny man would soon come to pick people, and with so many people here, there was no lack of powerful people. Only those who stood at the front would be easily picked out. Otherwise, it would be easy to be overlooked.
Sure enough, not long after Xing Jue blended into the crowd, the skinny man walked into the courtyard and began to choose people from the crowd. He did not choose many people, only 20 out of the hundreds.
However, these twenty people were all outstanding individuals. Among them, a few were high-level Battle-Saints. Although the other ten were only mid-level Battle-Saints, they were indeed quite young. Among these twenty people, Xing Jue was naturally one of them.
"Hey, why are they only picking 20 people?"
"Really, it wasn't easy to get a chance to enter the Imperial City, but I missed it just like that!"
After the selection ended, those commoners who were not selected left with all kinds of resentment. To them, being able to enter the Imperial City was a very glorious thing.
Presumably, they spent a lot of money to sneak into the crowd just to get a place in the selection, so it was no wonder that they were so depressed when they were not selected.
"See, what a glorious thing it is to be able to stay in the Imperial City, what a fortunate thing it is to be able to become a member of the Imperial Kitchen!"
"You must cherish this opportunity, because from today onwards, you are a member of my Imperial Kitchen."
"Alright, it's getting late, rest early. Tomorrow, you still have to receive personal lessons from the Head Steward. He will let you all witness the elegance of the world's number one chef!"
After asking Xing Jue and the others to change into the same uniform, the skinny man moved Xing Jue and the others to a desolate pavilion. After giving them some simple instructions, he swaggered off, leaving Xing Jue and the others behind.
Speaking of this pavilion, it was really not simple. To be honest, it was not bad to find such a pavilion in the outside world. However, to be able to find such a pavilion in the Imperial City, it could be said to be a miracle.
It was not made of gold, nor was it made of jade. Instead, it was built with red bricks. Although it looked simple from the outside, the inside was really extraordinary. How was this a pavilion? There was no building at all. Once inside, it was a small empty house.
There were simple wooden beds in the house, and they were actually bunk beds. However, upon closer inspection, there was actually a rather spacious bed in the corner of the pavilion. There was even a fruit platter placed at the head of the bed. It was obvious that this was a special position.
However, no matter how one looked at it, there were only enough beds for nineteen people. In other words, among the twenty people, there was one who did not have a bed to sleep on.
At this moment, everyone's eyes lit up. Those who were selected were not weak, and their intelligence was not low.
With a single glance, they clearly understood the situation before them, and one by one, they began to desperately fly toward the nearest bed, hoping to take the initiative.
However, among the crowd, there was a weirdo. There was clearly a lower bed next to him, but not only did he ignore it, he actually dashed toward the bed in the deepest part of the pavilion. It was obvious that this person was greedy.
Taking a closer look, it was a rather handsome man with a fair complexion. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be in his early thirties, but his strength was at the level of a Battle-Saint. Furthermore, his speed was very fast. From this, it could be seen that there was indeed something extraordinary about him.
This man took large strides, bringing about gusts of wind. His posture could be called graceful. As he ran with all his might, the corners of his mouth were brimming with a bright smile, as if he was determined to win.
Furthermore, he vividly exuded the aura of a high-level Battle-Saint, as if he was intentionally showing off his elegance. This action of his successfully attracted the attention of the crowd.
"Pa ~"
"Brother, you're too skinny. You should give this bed to me!"
However, just as the man walked to the bed and was about to sit down, a large hand that resembled a bear's paw suddenly appeared on his shoulder, firmly locking his movements.
Turning around, he saw a two-meter tall, dark-skinned man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His face was covered in a beard, and he was smiling foolishly at the handsome man with his large mouth that emitted bad breath. Moreover, this muscular man was also at the level of a high-level Battle-Saint.
"Bullsh * t, there's a first come, first served rule for everything. This bed is mine."
Seeing that someone actually dared to stop him, two cold rays shot out from the handsome man's eyes. With a wave of his right arm, the palm that brought about a cold wind fiercely struck toward the muscular man's chest. He actually made a move.
"Hmph, you overestimate yourself!"
However, facing the handsome man's attack, the muscular man was not the slightest bit afraid. He similarly struck out with his palm, and actually met the handsome man's palm head-on!
"Bang!"
The large palm and the small palm collided. It seemed like there was a great disparity in power, but an unexpected tremor erupted from the collision. An energy ripple suddenly spread out, and the two of them were even jolted back several steps before they could stabilize their bodies.
At this moment, the two of them revealed an ominous glint in their eyes, and their bodies emitted a frightening murderous aura. Even the surrounding onlookers obediently sat on the bed that they occupied, not daring to step forward to stop them. This was because they could all feel that these two people were not to be trifled with.
"Ta, ta, ta, ta ~"
However, just as the two of them were about to engage in a fight, a series of light footsteps continuously sounded out, breaking the stalemate.
Looking over, they saw a skinny young man who looked to be in his early twenties. At this moment, this young man was leisurely walking toward the two of them at an unhurried pace.
In the end, under the incredulous gazes of the onlookers, he sat on the bed that the two of them were fighting over. He took an apple from the fruit platter at the head of the bed, and after taking a crisp bite, he slightly raised his head and said to the two of them:
"There's no need to fight, this bed is mine!"
The young man's indifferent voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in the ears of the onlookers. At this moment, some of the onlookers had already begun to rub their eyes, because they could not believe that the previous words were actually spoken by this young man. One must know that he only had the aura of an intermediate Battle-Saint.
An intermediate Battle-Saint actually dared to provoke two furious advanced Battle-Saints. In the eyes of the onlookers, this was simply an action that did not care about one's life.
"Oh, there's really someone who isn't afraid of death. Kid, what did you just say? Can you f * cking say that again? "
Seeing that Xing Jue had occupied his bed, the tall and sturdy man immediately glared at him. He rolled up his sleeves and walked toward Xing Jue.
At the same time, he released his advanced Battle-Saint aura and attacked Xing Jue wave after wave, as if he wanted to use the pressure to intimidate Xing Jue.
However, the aura that he thought was powerful did not affect Xing Jue in the slightest. Instead, it was ignored by Xing Jue as if he was air.
This not only shocked the sturdy man, but also the handsome man's face was filled with astonishment. This was because he could clearly feel the aura emitted by the sturdy man. If he did not rely on his tyrannical aura to resist, even he would have been affected. However, the Xing Jue in front of him was completely unaffected, which made him feel extremely strange.
"Which of your ears did you not hear? Tell me. "
At this moment, Xing Jue put down the apple in his hand and slowly stood up. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sturdy man who was walking toward him.
Xing Jue's actions attracted the attention of everyone in the loft. Due to the distance, many people did not know that the sturdy man had used his aura to suppress Xing Jue, but Xing Jue was unharmed.
Therefore, at this moment, they all thought that Xing Jue did not want to live anymore. Each and every one of them had the attitude of watching a good show. They watched everything that was happening in front of them, wanting to see how miserable Xing Jue would end up!
"Motherf * cker, I didn't hear it with my ears!"
Although he felt that something was wrong, the strength of a advanced Battle-Saint still gave the sturdy man full of confidence. He shouted at Xing Jue at the top of his lungs. At the same time, he raised his sandbag-sized fist and smashed it toward Xing Jue.
At this moment, everyone thought that Xing Jue was dead for sure. Only Xing Jue stood still. On the contrary, the corner of his mouth raised into a mocking smile!
