Although the middle-aged man felt indignant, he hurriedly apologized to Huo Yao.
Old Mr. Yi noticed his reluctance, so he waved his hand helplessly. "Get someone to serve the other dishes."
The middle-aged man felt embarrassed and wanted to find an excuse to leave, so he quickly agreed to Old Mr. Yi's order. "Sure."
After he left, Old Mr. Yi looked at Huo Yao and Min Yu and said apologetically, "My outer disciple is ignorant. Sorry for making a fool out of himself."
Huo Yao smiled and sat down without saying a word.
Old Mr. Yi pulled out a stool next to Huo Yao and sat down. "Do you know anything about Chinese medicine?"
Min Yu's eyes landed on Huo Yao the moment Old Mr. Yi finished speaking. Huo Yao found it hard to ignore his probing gaze.
She turned her head sideways to look at Old Mr. Yi calmly. "I've read some books on health. I know a little about it, but it's not worth mentioning."
Old Mr. Yi smiled and said, "You are able to pick out the problems with just a few books. It shows that you are very talented in this area."
Old Mr. Yi paused. A thought crossed his mind and he suddenly said, "Are you interested in learning how to make medicinal cuisine from me?"
Zhuo Yun raised his head and looked at Old Mr. Yi in surprise.
The Yi family's ancestors were imperial medicinal chefs who served the emperor, so their status was unimaginable.
Even in the modern era, the Yi family was one of the wealthiest families in City S. Moreover, Old Mr. Yi was a member of the Apothecaries' Association and had a wide network of connections. If Huo Yao could become acquainted with the Yi family, she would see a whole new level of things.
Moreover, Old Mr. Yi was famous for being crafty. Apart from taking in two disciples when he was young, he had not taken in a disciple for decades. Of course, there were not many people who caught his eye.
Sure enough, Old Mr. Yi had great taste. Even Old Mr. Yi wanted to take Huo Yao as his disciple the first time he met her.
"I'm not interested," replied Huo Yao without any hesitation.
She had finally experienced the life of a normal person. If she were to learn this and that, she would be asking for trouble.
Zhuo Yun coughed dryly and reminded her. "Miss Huo, the Yi family has a long history of medicinal cuisine. If you become Old Mr. Yi's disciple, your future will be limitless."
The expression on Huo Yao's face did not change much. It was as though a medicinal cuisine family was no different from an ordinary family to her. "Although it sounds tempting, I'm sorry. I'm really not interested."
"Okay …" Old Man Yi was disappointed. Two seconds later, he settled for the next best thing. "You can come to me anytime if you're interested."
This was a very meaningful promise. If anyone else heard it, they would be shocked. After all, this was the first time Old Mr. Yi had met Huo Yao.
Before Huo Yao could say anything, Min Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "In that case, I'll thank Old Mr. Yi on her behalf."
Old Mr. Yi was slightly surprised. Although he was curious about the relationship between Huo Yao and Min Yu, he did not probe further. Instead, he smiled and said, "You're welcome, Young Master Min. Your friend is naturally a friend of the Yi family."
