Yan Zhan paused in his steps, then turned around, "It is shameful to show off in front of a loser!"
Laughing heartily, amidst Zhan Se's confusion, Emperor Quan grabbed her hand and headed for the dining room without explanation.

Perhaps out of a woman's sympathy for another, over the course of the meal, the dish 'Husband and Wife Lung Slices' personally made by Ai Lun was repeatedly passed in front of Iron Hand by Zhui Ming and Sun Qing. Even more strangely, it seemed as if everyone tacitly agreed not to touch the dish, hinting in every possible way that Iron Hand should, at all costs, give it a try.
But alas, the man's heart was as hard as iron.
