Yan Zhu was dumbfounded. Are these deans going to fight over Lu Chen?
But then again, Ding Hu has been targeting Lu Chen. Now is the best time for Lu Chen to leave!
Lu Chen looked at these deans indifferently and cupped his fist, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I've decided to stay in Western Sage. Grandpa Chen brought me here and told me to work hard here. Lu Chen doesn't dare to listen to Old Chen's teachings."
Hearing Lu Chen's reply, the others couldn't help but sigh in pity.
Bai Xing secretly looked at Lu Chen. She was so excited that tears almost filled her eyes.
So this kid was brought here by Old Chen. The most important thing is that he knows how to repay kindness. It's really gratifying …
After dinner, Ding Hu came to Lu Chen's kitchen angrily, "Lu Chen, I've found a new chef. You can go back to the woodshed to chop wood. If you don't do it well today, you're not allowed to sleep!"
Yan Zhu couldn't stand it anymore. He secretly ran to the woodshed to help Lu Chen chop wood.
Under the moonlight, the two youngsters chopped one piece of wood after another. Beside them were countless pieces of wood.
Lu Chen looked at Yan Zhu who was sweating profusely and said, "Brother Yan Zhu, you can go back. I'll do it myself."
Yan Zhu snorted, "I'm fine! That Ding Hu, I knew he would do this. Lu Chen, I really don't understand. Today is such a good opportunity, why didn't you leave! "
Lu Chen shook his head and smiled, "The debt here hasn't been settled yet. How can I leave!"
"Ai, I can't control your decision. But to be honest, many people said you're a fool. I think it's reasonable."
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't there a fine line between a fool and a genius?"
While they were talking, Ding Hu, Yang Yong and the rest rushed over.
Seeing these people, Yan Zhu subconsciously stood in front of Lu Chen.
This small action surprised Lu Chen. He could tell that Yan Zhu's character was not bad.
But Ding Hu didn't care so much. He pulled Yan Zhu away savagely and slammed him into the pile of firewood at the side.
"Lu Chen, come with me!"
Yan Zhu got up from the ground. "Ding Hu, Lu Chen has been busy all day, and you still want to abuse him?! You've gone too far! "
Ding Hu went up and slapped Yan Zhu, flipping him to the ground. After Yan Zhu was sent flying, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and was unable to stand up.
Ding Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Zhu, "You dog, you dare to meddle in my business? Brat, I'll deal with you later! "
"Lu Chen, come with me! The guests asked you to make pastries! Hurry up! "
Lu Chen stood still.
"Hurry up and leave! What? You want to leave my stall? Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you made a dish. Let me tell you, you're lucky that you didn't choose to leave Western Sage today. Otherwise, I'll turn around and kill you! "
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. Ding Hu had some foundation in cultivation. With his current strength, he might not be able to win against him.
"I can go, but I want to bring him along!"
"Up to you. Yang Yong, drag Yan Zhu along!"
Finally returning to the kitchen, Lu Chen checked Yan Zhu's injuries. It seemed that his injuries weren't light.
"Lu Chen, the reason why you didn't leave is because you're afraid that Ding Hu will attack you from behind? I didn't think of this, but if we stay here, we'll be killed by Ding Hu sooner or later! "
Lu Chen snorted. His eyes flashed with killing intent, "You're wrong. I stayed here to take his life!"
"Alright, you rest here. I'll deliver the dishes later."
After being busy for a while, Lu Chen brought a few plates of pastries to the dining hall.
After tasting Lu Chen's pastries, everyone was full of praise. The various Deans had the spirit of not wasting food. The plates full of pastries were instantly emptied, but they still looked like they weren't full.
The Western Sage Spiritual Academy's examination had ended. Bai Xing was relaxed. Seeing the Deans being conquered by the delicacies, she also gained some face and was in a good mood. The more she looked, the more she liked this kid …
Before the Deans left, they stuffed a lot of notes to Lu Chen. It seemed that they still hadn't given up on Lu Chen.
Later, after Bai Xing and the leaders of the academy sent off the guests, Bai Xing specially returned to the dining hall and called out to Lu Chen, who was cleaning up the dishes.
"Little Chen, since you're a chef, why are you in charge of cleaning up? Come, come, come, sit here and let them busy themselves. "
Lu Chen obeyed and sat next to the Deans.
"Little Chen, I feel that you're a very intelligent child. You know how to repay kindness at such a young age. This time, your kitchen has done a great service, especially you. Look at those people, they can't wait to snatch someone from under my nose! Hahahaha! "
"Oh, that's right. Those old fellows stuffed you with notes. Hahaha, I think you should just throw them away."
Lu Chen smiled and took out the notes. However, he didn't tear them up.
Lu Chen pretended to be in a difficult position, "Deans, the lords increased the price again tonight. The conditions they offered …"
Bai Xing suddenly became nervous.
Those old foxes increased the price again?
Previously, Lu Chen had stayed in the Western Sage Academy out of kindness. Now that they had increased the price again and again, Lu Chen was a little moved.
"Little Chen, listen to me. Don't be anxious. Can you tell me what they offered?"
Lu Chen read the notes one by one, "Western Zhou's City Lord's offer is to cook once a month and earn ten silver leaves a month."
"This one is for the position of Head Chef. Cook three times a month and earn fifty silver leaves a month."
"This one … this is for the Western Sage Academy. You'll be the head of the kitchen and earn one gold leaf a month. Also … you can learn the academy's mental cultivation method and sit in on classes."
Bai Xing was so excited that she slapped the table lightly. The tableware on the table almost fell.
"Murong, that old fox. I already knew that he wanted to snatch you away! He actually offered such generous conditions. No wonder you're moved. "
Lu Chen sighed, "Deans, I only earn eighty copper leaves a month here. Grandpa Chen is seriously ill and has no money to treat him. My family also needs money …"
"Little Chen, I understand. It's not easy for you to go out to earn money at such a young age. Don't worry, the Western Sage Academy won't lose to anyone!" Bai Xing hurriedly said, "Oh right, you're staying in the Western Sage Academy because of Elder Chen, right? Why, is he sick now?"
Lu Chen nodded, "I haven't had the time to visit him yet."
"Little Chen, you don't have to worry about this. Elder Chen has worked hard for the Western Sage Academy for half of his life. I didn't know about it before, but now that I know, there's no reason for me to stand by and do nothing. Even without your matter, I'll personally treat his illness!"
"Thank you, Deans!"
Bai Xing nodded, "Now, let's talk about your matter!"
Bai Xing looked at Lu Chen and smiled warmly, "I know that everyone wants to cultivate. The conditions offered by the Western Sage Academy are indeed tempting. To be honest, I didn't expect that old fox Murong to offer such conditions."
"Also, during the day, if you were to talk to me face to face, I would think that you're too snobbish and might not keep you."
"But you didn't. You even thought of Elder Chen who brought you to the Western Sage Academy and his teachings. This is what surprised me the most, but also what pleased me the most."
"So, if Murong can make an exception for you, I, Bai Xing, can too!"
"Have you participated in the Spiritual Pulse Test?"
Lu Chen said, "I have, but my Spiritual Pulse is very poor. It's only a One Star Spiritual Pulse."
Bai Xing didn't doubt him. If his Spiritual Pulse was good, he wouldn't be an odd-job worker.
"A One Star Spiritual Pulse. To be honest, your future is limited. But it's still possible to practice martial arts to strengthen your body."
"How about this, your Spiritual Pulse doesn't meet the requirements of our enrollment, but I can make an exception and give you a Registered Disciple Token. This way, you can practice the Mental Cultivation Technique of the Academy and listen to classes. As for how far you can practice, it depends on your own efforts."
"Also, if there aren't any important guests, you don't have to stay in the kitchen."
"As for the monthly salary, I'll give you one Gold Leaf a month, but you have to cook at least three times a month. What do you think?"
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Deans, didn't you say that if there aren't any important guests, I don't have to stay in the kitchen?"
"Silly child, if there aren't any important guests, don't you need three meals a day? You should at least cook two meals for me! "
