Burp!
Setting down her chopsticks, Qin Yue let out a satisfied burp.
This was the most delicious meal she had ever had. Clearly, each dish was just ordinary home-cooked food, but the delightful taste lingered in her mouth for a long time.
This guy's skills are even better than Dad's.
Qin Yue glanced at Qi Han, wondering what was on her mind.
Gracefully putting down her chopsticks, Qi Han's face gained a hint of confidence.
Seeing the two sisters engrossed in their meal, he knew this round was secure.
"Uh... now, can it be proven that I have nothing to do with that Zhao Fenglai guy? Can you sell the shop to me?"
"No." Qin Yue remembered her sister saying they wouldn't sell. Just as she was about to refuse, a voice suddenly spoke from the side.
"Yes, we can!"
Huh?
Qin Yue turned her head, looking bewildered at her sister. In Qin Yao's eyes, there seemed to be an inexplicable gleam, and her face showed a hint of excitement.
Didn't she say... not to sell?
Glancing at the puzzled Qin Yue, Qin Yao didn't find it suitable to explain at this moment.
She initially didn't want to sell the shop to Qi Han, fearing he might not be a match for Fenglai, and in the end, the shop would fall into Zhao Fenglai's hands. However, after tasting Qi Han's culinary skills, her thoughts instantly changed.
Moonlight Pavilion had a geographical advantage over Fenglai, and now with the dishes Qi Han cooked being more delicious than anything Fenglai could offer, Qin Yao couldn't see how Qi Han's restaurant wouldn't outshine Fenglai. Thus, the transfer of the shop was now possible.
She even felt a bit excited. Although Moonlight Pavilion couldn't seek revenge, having Qi Han open a new restaurant at the old location and suppress Fenglai was a kind of revenge for her and Qin Yue.
She agreed? Qi Han instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally completed the Time-limited Quest within the time limit.
"But I have a condition."
Qin Yao's eyes flickered with an unknown color.
Condition?
Qi Han frowned slightly. "Go ahead, tell me."
"After you open the shop, you need to help us defeat Fenglai Pavilion."
This...
Qi Han's brow furrowed even deeper.
Although Fenglai Pavilion was also a restaurant, opening his own restaurant didn't necessarily mean he had to become Qin's sisters' pawn. He didn't know the specific conflicts between the two women and the owner of Fenglai Pavilion, but just accepting the shop didn't mean he was obliged to handle their disputes. He didn't want to get involved in such troubles.
"Oh? People are here?"
A voice interrupted their conversation. Qi Han turned to see a middle-aged, well-built man entering Moonlight Pavilion without any courtesy, as if he were entering his own backyard. "Is it a bad time? This little run-down place actually has customers? Tut, tut."
Glancing at the plates on the table, the middle-aged man made an exaggerated expression. "Really? People can still eat the dishes made by you two little girls?" After speaking, he found it amusing, letting out a strange laugh like a night owl.
"Zhao! Feng! Lai!" Qin Yao gritted her silver teeth, and four Spirit rings slowly appeared.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple.
"Oh? Does the distinguished Spirit Master want to fight me?" The middle-aged man's terrified expression was extremely exaggerated, but then it gradually turned indifferent. "I say, Little Miss Qin Yao, isn't this old man considered your great uncle? Shouldn't there be some courtesy? Qin Xiong was always strict about family manners. Didn't he teach you not to be so disrespectful to your great uncle?"
"You scoundrel!"
Qin Yao's teeth were almost crushed. Zhao Fenglai, this bastard, dared to bring up her father!
But in the end, the Spirit rings could only slowly retract.
It's not that he was afraid of this guy, but Zhao Fenglai had connections with the Empire's Law Enforcement Hall. If she really made a move, it could lead to significant trouble.
"You, get out! Our shop has already been sold. Get lost!" Qin Yue scolded loudly, unable to tolerate seeing her sister being mistreated.
"Oh?" Zhao Fenglai narrowed his eyes, instantly becoming more sinister, like a chameleon changing colors. "Sold? Could it be—"
His gaze turned towards Qi Han, whom he had never paid much attention to before. "Did you buy it?"
Zhao Fenglai had long arranged for people to keep an eye on this shop. Every person entering Moonlight Pavilion during this time was well known to him. The most likely person to buy the shop was the unfamiliar young man before him.
Qi Han calmly looked at Zhao Fenglai.
Qi Han had seen him yesterday at Fenglai Pavilion. At that time, Zhao Fenglai was bowing and smiling to a group of rich and powerful people, with a radiant and pleasant expression on his face. It was completely different from his current arrogant and sinister appearance.
A person could have such drastically different behaviors in front of different people?
Although Qi Han had heard a lot about people like him back on Earth, witnessing such a person in real life was a first for him.
"Yes, I bought it. Any problem?" Qi Han's tone turned colder, harboring deep disdain for such a person.
"I don't know your background, little brother. I hope you can inform me to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings," Zhao Fenglai said, with a slightly more amiable smile.
He couldn't determine Qi Han's identity and hence asked this question. A small figure like him could reach his current status, naturally having a set of rules for dealing with people. Unless he was certain of the other party's identity and status, he wouldn't easily offend anyone.
Like a coiled snake, waiting to strike at its prey only when the identity is confirmed.
"I have no background, just a chef from out of town," Qi Han replied coldly.
Although he could use the prestige of Tang Clan or Shrek Academy, he had no intention of doing so at this moment. There was no need to submit to such a person; he didn't deserve it.
"Oh?"
Zhao Fenglai's smile grew colder.
No background and from out of town.
A chef? That meant competition.
"Well, I wish you a successful opening," Zhao Fenglai's voice was like nails scratching a blackboard, sending shivers down one's spine.
"I will," Qi Han's Spirit power quietly dispersed, eliminating the goosebumps caused by the disgust, "Now, get out."
"Heh!"
Zhao Fenglai chuckled coldly, gave Qi Han a deep look, and turned to leave Fenglai Pavilion.
An outsider without any background?
In Star Luo City, let me show you how I'll deal with you!
Qi Han sighed with relief only after Zhao Fenglai left.
This chameleon-like guy really disgusted him.
"I agree to your conditions."
"Huh?"
Qin Yao was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Qi Han's meaning. Excitement flashed in her eyes. "You agreed to help us deal with Fenglai Pavilion?"
"Yes," Qi Han nodded. It wasn't about becoming a tool for the Qin sisters; it was his genuine aversion that made him not want such a person's restaurant to thrive in Star Luo City.
Perhaps his sense of justice went a bit too far.
Just that...
Qi Han felt extremely displeased with this cunning and opportunistic person who lacked any reverence or passion for food.
And Qi Han happened to have the capability to defeat Fenglai Pavilion.
That was it.
"I also have a request, and I hope you can agree."
