Lin Xiao finished speaking and left.
However, he stopped at the main entrance.
It wasn't that he had forgotten something, but he saw someone he hadn't expected.
"Good morning, Brother Xiao!" Gu Yunyun greeted him and handed over the breakfast in her hand.
"This is?" Lin Xiao looked at the pan-fried buns in his hand, startled.
"I had my third uncle make them. Hurry! Eat them while they're hot, they taste amazing!" Gu Yunyun quickly said.
It was at this moment that Zhuge Lan and Dongfang Jingjing also came out.
"Yunyun, so early?" Jingjing clearly hadn't expected to see Gu Yunyun so early. This was too different from the Yunyun she knew.
"Yes, I thought Brother Xiao has been so busy these past few days and hasn't had time to taste our authentic delicacies, so I asked my third uncle to make a portion this morning," Gu Yunyun quickly replied.
Gu Yunyun's third uncle was a famous gourmet in Dragon Country.
"Then, what about mine?" Dongfang Jingjing's eyes darted, and she hugged her best friend, asking, "You don't have any for me, do you?"
"Ah!" Gu Yunyun just realized this. She looked at her best friend with a hint of embarrassment. "I... I forgot..."
"You forgot me because of Brother Xiao," Jingjing continued to tease. She wasn't really blaming Gu Yunyun, but she simply found Yunyun amusing in this state.
"Ahem." Lin Xiao coughed lightly from the side as a reminder, "I'm still here."
Dongfang Jingjing quickly stuck out her tongue and immediately returned to Zhuge Lan's side, afraid that Lin Xiao would hold her accountable for anything.
At this moment, Lin Xiao sighed and said, "Gu Yunyun, how many times do I have to tell you, it's not possible. I have a family..."
"Brother Xiao, have a bite?" Gu Yunyun continued, her eyes filled with fervent anticipation as she looked at Lin Xiao.
She seemed genuinely to want Lin Xiao to take a bite.
"Okay." Lin Xiao was very straightforward. It was just a bite, what else could happen?
Then, he decisively took a bite of the pan-fried bun.
At this, his eyes widened!
As a native of Shashi, he generally couldn't get used to the cuisine of Modu. Their tastes were completely different. But these pan-fried buns had chili oil on the outside, and a truly authentic spicy flavor! It wasn't sweet-spicy or numbing-spicy.
Paired with the fragrant and delicious meat filling, Lin Xiao instinctively took another bite!
"Yunyun's third uncle almost became a God of Cooking before. People usually can't get a taste even if they offer money... I remember Grandpa bringing good wine just to taste his skill," Dongfang Jingjing explained to Zhuge Lan.
"Senior Dongfang also had to do that?" Zhuge Lan was a bit surprised. He had thought that someone like Dongfang Bai should be able to get a meal from the Gu family with just a word.
"Grandpa said that his skill is close to the Dao. If his culinary skills were measured by cultivation, they would be comparable to his, or even higher. Such a person must be treated with respect," Dongfang Jingjing said.
"The senior's state of mind is worth learning from," Zhuge Lan nodded repeatedly after savoring it.
Dongfang Bai's cultivation, his seniority, and the Dongfang family's power should have allowed him to be more overbearing.
However, he was not influenced by these things in his state of mind, which was no wonder he had reached the peak of Mingxin.
If the door to the Divine Realm hadn't been closed to him, he might have been the most promising candidate.
