Chapter 79. The Argument of the Respectable Teacher

“I wonder if this brand of Meat Floss Cake suits your taste.”

“This brand of Meat Floss Cake is just average,” Lin Nuo said seriously. “But since it was sent by Her Highness the Princess, I shall graciously accept it.”

Lin Nuo took the Meat Floss Cake and casually stuffed it into his sleeve.

What kind of person is this Luo woman to send such a common snack? Compared to the eighth-grade Wind Spirit Ring, this has completely downgraded its prestige.

Meat Floss Cake might taste good, but in the eyes of the Empress, it’s definitely trash. The taste is too low, she wouldn’t eat it herself, let alone give it as a gift—that would be too rude.

So, Luo Xiaoxue, are you looking down on me, Lin Nuo?

Well done!

“This is just a small box; the Princess also had someone send a lot more. I’m not familiar with folk snacks, nor have I tasted them, so I don’t know what they taste like, but since it’s chosen by the Princess, it should be good,” Master Zhao said.

“It’s strange why the Princess would send Meat Floss Cake. Normally, the royal family doesn’t send folk snacks as gifts,” Han Fairy echoed Lin Nuo’s confusion, equally perplexed—it doesn’t make sense at all.

Given that Xuanyun Sect is high-end socializing, at least the gifts should have some stature.

Master Zhao stroked his long beard and laughed, “That’s how it should be, but according to the messenger, the Princess thinks Meat Floss Cake is a heavenly delicacy and wants more people to enjoy it.”

For the first time, Lin Nuo acknowledged Luo Xiaoxue; indeed, a heavenly delicacy— that woman only has this one redeeming quality.

“Does Her Highness the Princess eat Meat Floss Cake often?” Han Fairy continued to ask.

“No, royalty generally doesn’t eat folk snacks. But I heard from the messenger that after being rescued, the Princess became obsessed with this dessert. Apparently, she received a kindness from someone during her time of hunger and found Meat Floss Cake delicious. Now the Princess is promoting Meat Floss Cake in the common world and funding dessert shops, making it popular in major cities, even among the royal nobility.”

The popularization of Meat Floss Cake in major cities was something Lin Nuo never expected. In his memory, there hadn’t been any storyline about the popularity of Meat Floss Cake, nor had he heard rumors of Luo Xiaoxue liking it.

The butterfly effect; ever since his rebirth, the plot has changed significantly, so it’s understandable that a small detail change allowed Luo Xiaoxue to develop a fondness for Meat Floss Cake.

Regardless, the rise of Meat Floss Cake is excellent news for Lin Nuo, as it’s something he personally enjoys.

The gift will be delivered to Lin Nuo’s residence by a designated person, so he showed up to drink tea, eat Meat Floss Cake, and boast a bit. Before he realized it, he had already devoured several boxes of Meat Floss Cake before leaving the courtyard.

At that moment, a plump man with a long beard walked in. Like Han Fairy, he was also one of the esteemed teachers of Xuanyun Sect, skilled in swordsmanship and secret techniques, often referred to as Master Cong.

“Good day, Master. Oh? Han Fairy is also here; what a coincidence.”

“Yes, coincidence indeed, Master Cong,” Han Fairy replied. “What brings you here?”

“Not much, just wanted to discuss matters regarding my disciples with the Master. Sigh, I just saw that young fellow, was his name Lin Nuo?”

“Yes, he’s my third disciple,” Han Fairy responded.

“Oh, that young man is quite talented; your disciples are really impressive, Han Fairy.”

“Not at all, Master Cong, your disciples are the truly talented ones.”

“Haha, you’re exaggerating, Han Fairy.”

While Han Fairy and Master Cong appeared polite and respectful on the surface, they both secretly had their own agendas, each believing their own disciples to be the best while considering the others to be mediocre.

“Master Cong, your second disciple Xie Yu must be back from his mission, right?” the Master inquired.

“Yes, Xie Yu and two others have returned. Xie Yu achieved great success, destroying a Demon Sect hideout and slaying a Celestial-level demon beast; his reputation is spreading in the world. Furthermore, after the spiritual realm assessment, Xie Yu has advanced to the seventh level, and the other two, Mu Yiting and Zhang Cheng, have greatly improved as well.”

“Oh? That’s certainly wonderful news—Xie Yu has advanced to the seventh level, nearing Qin Shili’s prowess; there’s much to look forward to,” Master Zhao said, feeling quite pleased. Another disciple advancing to the seventh level is fantastic news for Xuanyun Sect.

According to the spiritual realm levels, both the seventh-level Xie Yu and Qin Shili are at the forefront.

Master Zhao continued with a smile, “I wonder who is stronger now, Xie Yu or Qin Shili—it’s something to be curious about.”

Master Cong chuckled, “In terms of combat strength, Xie Yu might still lag behind Qin Shili. However, in terms of achievements and overall ability, Xie Yu likely has the upper hand; his accomplishments might surpass the combined feats of Han Fairy’s two disciples, Qin Shili and Lin Nuo.”

Han Fairy felt dissatisfied upon hearing this and quickly interrupted, “I can understand that Master Cong is confident in his disciple, but I think you might be overstating things. Just take Lin Nuo for instance; he is someone who has received a significant reward from the royal Princess.”

“Haha, indeed, he has been rewarded highly by the Princess,” Master Cong chuckled as he stroked his beard. “However, I heard that it was not even him who found the Princess. We all know the truth behind these rewards and achievements; I won’t lay it bare.”
