"Chen Zao will never allow Ren Ling to bully Ren Xiao like this!"
However, Ren Ling looked down on someone like Chen Zao and refused to engage in conversation.
Without even glancing at Chen Zao, she casually reclined back into her rattan chair, waiting for the next Young Master to perform and offer his praises.
Someone like Chen Zao, barking like a dog, was best left for Cai'er to handle.
Cai'er, who had been following Ren Ling, had already broken through to the intermediate level in her genetic cultivation and had a faint glow about her.
While she might not possess the exquisite beauty of Ren Ling, Cai'er was still quite attractive in her own right, especially with her sharp, piercing phoenix eyes that exuded a fierce aura.
At this moment, she glared at Chen Zao and said, "This is the rule set by our Third Sister! It's fair and reasonable! You have affected Hu the Young Master's performance score, so you must compensate with gold!"
"Fair and reasonable my foot! On what basis do you claim we affected that Hu's performance score? Yes, we did indeed disrupt his performance, but it might have actually helped him score higher! Who dares to say that our disruption definitely lowered his score? If our interference ended up boosting his score, would you then owe us gold?"
Chen Zao's words stunned everyone in the hall!
Shilian Zhi was the first to react, embellishing the joke about Hu Rengui: "This cook is right; the sound he made with the Chamber Pot was more melodious than Hu the Young Master's guitar playing. It actually gave Hu the Young Master extra points! Hahaha!"
The other young masters joined in with mocking laughter, quickly linking Hu the Young Master's guitar skills with the sound of a Chamber Pot hitting the ground.
The servants of the Hu Family were furious; if they weren't afraid of ruining the Song Gathering's rules, they would have rushed over to turn Chen Zao into a meat pie!
Hu Rengui was so enraged that he trembled in his armchair, but in front of Ren Ling, he couldn't act too aggressively for fear of appearing to argue with a dog.
Just now, Fangcun was infuriated by Chen Zao, which made him lose face. He really didn't want to get entangled with such a character. After Song Gathering ended, he planned to find someone to deal with this cook, cut out his tongue, and see how he would bark then!
Cai'er didn't expect Chen Zao to be so unreasonable. Angered, she stopped reasoning with Chen Zao and directed her anger at Ren Xiao: “Seventh Sister, what kind of cook did you bring here? Are you trying to cause trouble for us at the War Strategist Office!”
Chen Zao interrupted Ren Xiao, continuing to confront the other party: “Where have I caused trouble? I'm just trying to reason with you! Why should we lower the score for Hu the Young Master's performance? He played the guitar so poorly that even if we hadn't made a sound, he wouldn't have scored higher! By doing this, we actually made your master sympathize more with Hu the Young Master, and even gave him extra points! Without our disturbance, could he have gotten such a high score?”
As soon as Chen Zao said this, many young masters nodded in agreement.
Some servants also suddenly realized that it seemed to make sense!
Even Ren Xiao became clear-headed, feeling that they hadn’t affected Hu Rengui, but instead helped him score higher!
Thinking of this, Ren Xiao straightened her back and quickly put the gold coins back into her bag, standing on the same side as Chen Zao, ready to discuss things properly with the people from the War Strategist Office!
Ren Ling propped her chin up with one hand and finally looked at Chen Zao, her gaze no longer filled with disgust as when she saw him messing around with the Chamber Pot.
This cook seemed to have some brains; he wasn't as foolishly sweet as Ren Xiao.
Cai'er was momentarily choked by Chen Zao's central argument and found herself unable to retort.
“Smack!”
Hu Rengui couldn't hold back any longer. He slapped the iron tea table next to the Armchair, causing dust to rise from the floor!
Standing up, he pointed at Chen Zao, shouting: “You stinky cook! Who said your guitar playing was terrible! Do you believe I’ll tear your mouth apart right now?”
"You tearing my mouth won't change the fact that you play the guitar poorly! Besides..." Chen Zaohu's gaze turned cold, like a tiger releasing a low growl before attacking, his voice chilling as he said, "Do you really have the ability to tear my mouth?"
"Oh! A good show is about to unfold!"
Shilian Zhi led the crowd in excitement: "Hu the Young Master, challenge that chef one-on-one! Go tear his mouth!"
Hu Rengui was so furious that he nearly wanted to challenge Shilian Zhi himself!
Dealing with someone like Chen Zao, who was beneath him, if he truly let Shilian Zhi provoke him into a one-on-one challenge, his face would be completely ruined!
He certainly couldn't lower himself to challenge a chef like Chen Zao, who wasn't even considered a low-level warrior.
He glanced at his servants, signaling one of them to step up and challenge Chen Zao, to teach him a lesson!
Unfortunately, all the servants he brought were sycophants; none of them were real fighters. No one dared to step up against the tall and imposing Chen Zao.
Ren Ling saw that Cai'er could no longer control the situation and had to sit up again, crossing her legs elegantly. With a hint of displeasure on her brow, she said, "You've all disturbed my good mood tonight."
As soon as Ren Ling spoke, everyone fell silent and dared not chatter anymore; the hall instantly became quiet.
"Chef Chen, is it?"
With a sharp gaze directed at Chen Zao, Ren Ling spoke in an authoritative tone: "The reasoning you present is, in my view, not reasoning at all. You repeatedly make a fuss and speak arrogantly..."
"Why is what I say not reasoning?" Chen Zao interrupted Ren Ling fiercely. "On what basis is your word considered reasoning while ours is nonsense? If what I just said was wrong, point it out!"
Chen Zao was so fierce towards Ren Ling that it scared Ren Xiao to death!
Her sister's martial arts skills were even higher than Ren Long's!
Moreover... she really hated it when others slandered her to her face!
This was in the War Strategist Office, and if Chef Chen continued to cause a scene like this, she might not be able to leave the Cliff of Doom today!
“Chef Chen…”
Feeling anxious, Ren Xiao tugged at the hem of Chen Zao's camouflage shirt from behind, calling out to her, unwilling for Chen Zao to provoke Ren Ling any further.
Seeing Chen Zao confront Ren Ling, Shilian Zhi and the others couldn't stand it anymore and all glared angrily at Chen Zao.
Shilian Zhi was the first to stir trouble, looking for a reason to confront Chen Zao on behalf of Ren Ling: “You filthy chef, are you getting too bold? How dare you shout at Third Sister! I think you're tired of living! What has Third Sister done wrong? You're just spouting nonsense and making a scene!”
Another young man named Yu Wei, who had a good relationship with Hu Rengui, joined in against Chen Zao: “You specifically called out Hu the Young Master for playing the guitar poorly; isn't that just nonsense? In this hall, besides Third Sister, who dares to play better than Hu the Young Master! Who dares!”
“I dare!”
Chen Zao shot back at Yu Wei: “If you can't play better than Hu Rengui, then that just means you play worse! With that level, what are you even doing at the Song Gathering! It's absolutely ridiculous!”
