The head cook and his underlings had quickly done cooking the food and soon came to hand it over to the young master to taste.
They all were standing in line as they handed him the food.
There was some sort of uneasy pressure in the air as they waited for his comments.
Yichen took a bite and soon spat it out: "Too plain. Not good. Cook again."
The head cook was pretty much provoked by it. He clenched his big muscular hand in fury but still thinking of his future career, he subdued his anger and gathered his underlings to cook the food again.
As they handed him the next batch of food, Yichen quickly reacted without even taking a full bite.
"Again!"
Batch by batch, the newly cooked food was served but who was this Yichen? He was simply the cocky bastard and won't just let them breathe.
"Again!"
"Again!"
"Again!!!"
The whole sequence continued like that and it wasn't a mere comeback anymore, it was much worst, it was torture!
The amount of bullying on his comeback was much harsher and devilish.
This time, the head cook brought over the food with reddened eyes and a boiled face.
He thumped down the food plate as it was given to Yichen.
This time too, Yichen carelessly took a bite and soon commented without even swallowing: "This is much worst. Head cook, you can't cook, ain't it? It's no wonder the food is too bland."
There was an annoying grin on his cheeky face as he said it and the Head cook couldn't bear it anymore.
He quickly grabbed the lad by his collar and raged in fury: "You little rascal! Who do you think you are to comment on the food this master has made?! Don't you think that I don't know your little schemes?!"
As he raged and retaliated against this young master; the kitchen servants were left troubled by it. They all were left shrunken in misery, their hearts trembled as their head cook had finally lost it.
They already knew that they lose the challenge when their head cook finally loses his calm.
"Oh? I just said that the food you made is not good. Did it hurt your little pride? Well, indeed, the food you cook is not upto my standard. Too bad it didn't suit this young master's taste! What are you gonna do about it?"
He sneered as he sounded bitchily provoking every being of this nasty head cook.
With his bitchy provoked, the head cook couldn't subdue his composure anymore. He quickly raised his fit in fury: "You little imp! You should know the limits to your insult! Do you think you are all might as you got your big daddy's back?!"
Whoosh~
With that big heavy punch, Yichen was immediately thrown down to the ground.
Smash!
There, he spat out the blood and sneered in satisfaction.
The head cook's expression quickly changed as he saw him.
The brat instantly turned towards the doorway and clamoured out in a frightening tone: "Guards!"
Just as he called out; the entire guards of the Lin clan were quickly summoned to the scene.
Seeing their young master being brutally beaten down to the ground, the head guard of the Lin clan, Pan Tiao had a subtle hint of the situation.
He was 36 years old, 5.7 ft tall with the build of an athlete.
He wore the red clothes with the armour, signifying the guard's costume of the Lin clan.
With those piercing eyes, he glanced at the head cook and gave his quick, urgent commands: "Quick! Catch the entire kitchen servant."
Heeding his commands, the Lin guards quickly handled the situation and captured them all.
Hearing the big commotion inside the kitchen, the entire Lin clan had reached the place to witness the scene.
Someone had informed the situation to the chief and hence, Lin Zhang rushed over to the place.
Seeing through the situation, he could get a slight glimpse of what his son had planned to do.
He soon gets into his character and scrambled toward his son: "Son! What's going on? Who dare to beat you?!"
His expression was deadly as he reacted in fierceness.
Yichen slowly lifted his hands as if he was in much pain and pointed it towards the head cook.
"Father, Yichen only wanted to taste the best food made by the head cook but instead, the head cook and his men bullied me and even threw a punch at me."
He then fakes a cough there.
The head cook was left much provoked by it that he countered in raged: "Cook the food?! Hadn't I cook enough food and still you ain't pleased with it?!!"
"It was all because the food you made was tasteless!"
Yichen denounced in savageness.
Before anyone could interrupt the situation, Lin Zhang quickly handled it. He turned to the head cook and his servants in fury and spoke up agitated: "It is the job of the cook to satisfy the taste of his master but instead the head cook and his servants not only made the bland food but also raise a fit onto the young master which clearly shows their disrespect to their young master and even me as the chief!
This...how could we have a servant who disrespects their master, so, as a punishment the head cook Mr Lim will be expelled from the clan along with his underlings. They are to never set foot into the Lin clan household ever again!"
The head cook Mr Lim along with his servants was left shattered by it.
By this time, the head cook Lim, already knew that it was all the meticulous plan of the young rascal master.
He initiated to provoke him at first, then forced him to cause a scene. With this, he was planning to expel him from the Lin clan with a cruel name tagged on him.
This was all his sly trick all along and he willingly fell into his trapped! Hadn't he acted on impulse, things wouldn't have escalated so badly. But it was too late when he got his sense back.
"Guards, make sure that they leave by early dawn!"
Lin Zhang made his final proclamation and the entire kitchen servants immediately fell on their knees: "We are wrong! Please, forgive us, young master!"
"We are wrong! Please forgive us chief!"
Mr Lim too had no choice but to follow his underling's conduct hoping that the chief had a change in mind but it was futile.
Lin Zhang was firmed on his stance and who would easily forgive the ones who laid a hand on his precious son? Lin Zhang quickly walked out from there with fury and didn't even turn back for once.
It was done for them there.
Young Yichen was quite satisfied. His job was done, therefore, he soon got up and leave the place with his body slightly slouching to the side as if he was in deep pain.
Feeling irritated, Mr Lim clenched his fist in anger. He was just as pissed as he was helpless.
The night passed by like that.
The next morning...
Mr Lim along with his servants had carried their things and had left the Lin clan household.
The head guard Pan Tiao had made sure that they left the clan in the early dawn.
With this, the news of the cook Mr Lim along with his underlings had spread around the Greenlight city like wildfire.
Mr Lim had lost his prestige as a loyal servant for hitting his own master, furthermore, he lost his significance as a head cook for his bad cooking skills.
Everywhere they go, everyone treated them with malice. No one wanted to recruit or even encountered such a bad reputation.
It was by then that Mr Lim and his underlings understood the cost of bullying the weak; the cost of misjudging the young master.
He turned out to be a young wild wolf who had been tamed all along. It was too late when they realized it.
Inside the Lin clan household, the Lin family had recruited a new Kitchen cook and servants for the clan and everything resumed in order.
Because everything had turned in order, Yichen had nothing much to worry about.
That morning, the father and son duo had their breakfast together after a long time.
"Yichen, it was good that you manage to wipe out the weeds from the Lin clan. Your performance yesterday was smart. Now that everything has settled it's time for you to start with the cultivation of the Lin clan."
Lin Zhang said with a genuine smile on his face.
Yichen smiled charmingly at it and replied carefreely: "Yichen is happy to know that father is satisfied. Since everything has come to place why don't father and Yichen go to take back mother? Yichen will love to start with the clan's training once we get back mother."
His deep and clear turquoise eyes were filled with expectations as he said it.
Lin Zhang's face instantly darkened by his son's words.
He breathed heavily at it and replied with a rather grim tone: "Son, don't ever think of bringing back your mother here. She has left and won't ever return."
Lin Zhang's tone was strict and firm that Yichen couldn't help but be surprised by it.
His father had never spoken to him in such a tone.
Even though it was the case, he had to know about his mother, why she won't come back? Therefore, he inquired with much concern: "Father, you said that mother won't ever return to us, why is that?"
Lin Zhang sighed at it; so many years had already passed by and his son had every right to know about what had happened back then, therefore, he didn't hold back this time: "Your mother Yanyu said nothing much about her tribe but from her prowess and those who had come from her tribe, this father can guess that their tribe is formidable and might even be stronger than those three sects of the Earth continent.
Your mother had sealed her cultivation level so this father wasn't able to guess but she was incredibly strong as she was able to conceal her cultivation level.
The day we met was at the clan's forest. That night was especially cold and dark; as I get a hint of someone trespassing onto the clan's forest, I searched around in vigilance. There, I happened to see your mother in a much more tragic state. She was injured with too much blood on her body and was lying unconscious.
Because of her silver hair and turquoise colour eyes, I knew that she wasn't from the Earth continent.
Knowing that the clan would create such a big fuss about it. I carried her secretly to the main house and healed her with my internal energy.
Your mother shortly regained her consciousness but acted weird when she woke up."
