Chapter 1028 - 009 Refreshingly Sour (Second Update)_2
Just like that guy Xia Zheng, when he first visited our home, Lin Jiaxin and his wife always called him ’Boss’, but over time as they got to know each other better, didn’t they start calling him ’Ah Zheng’?
Zhao Hongde also nodded and laughed, "Exactly, it seems I need to come here every day from now on. Oh, right, don’t forget to add an extra set of utensils for me for three meals a day. When I return to the capital, I will surely miss the little sister’s cooking skills. Even the imperial cuisine in the palace tasted bland in comparison."
Zhao Hongde was already a very easygoing person, and these words were spoken with genuine sincerity.
Perhaps food is the thing in this world that truly bridges the distance between people. Hearing him say this, Lin Jiaxin and his wife couldn’t help but laugh, both seeing the same thought in each other’s eyes. It seemed that the Prince too had been completely won over by their daughter’s culinary skills.
Lin Yuan then introduced Zhao Hongde to Lin Wei and the others. When he saw Xiao Linshuang, Zhao Hongde showed a bit more interest, squatted down to her level, and smiled, "Are you the Closed-door Disciple of Elder Zhen?"
By now, everyone had come to know that Lao Fan’s real name was Zhen Xiuming, so they were aware of whom Zhao Hongde meant by Elder Zhen.
Xiao Linshuang puffed up her tiny chest, a face full of pride: "Yes, yes, I am my master’s disciple. But hey, you can’t just tell anyone about it. My master said his skills are so formidable that there are many in the capital who covet his medical knowledge and want to learn from him. However, those people are of such average talent that they couldn’t even learn a tenth or a twentieth of what my master knows. So if those people knew I was his Closed-door Disciple, they would surely be envious and jealous, and they’d come to challenge me."
"They would challenge you? Are you scared?" Zhao Hongde really liked this chatty little girl and asked with a tilted head.
Xiao Linshuang raised an eyebrow, her chest puffing even higher: "Scared? Do I look like someone who gets scared? My master often calls me his little wolf cub. If I were scared, wouldn’t that disappoint my master’s expectations? Actually, I’m just worried about the hassle. I haven’t even completed my training yet. I need to study hard. Once I’m well-versed enough, then I’ll have the leisure to compete with them!"
