— Ku Qi lowered his voice:
"Should you know I come from Changjue Village?"
Ding Huan nodded, having heard about it from Ku Yi's younger brother, Ku Yue.
Ku Qi continued:
"My third aunt married in Dasheng City. She had a daughter named Guan Bao..."
Ding Huan was taken aback, as he seemed to have heard the name Guan Bao somewhere before but couldn't quite recall it.
"Guan Bao is the most beautiful woman in Dasheng City, and many people know that. Have you heard of it, Brother Ding?"
At this point, Ku Qi looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan suddenly understood. He had heard about this woman when he first entered Dasheng City.
It was during those days in the corner that people around him talked about Gan Bao, the first beauty.
"Of course, everyone knows about the first beauty."
Since he had remembered, Ding Huan naturally said that he knew.
Ku Qi smiled in a low voice:
"Guan Bao, in addition to being the most beautiful woman in Dasheng City, also possesses outstanding talent. Therefore, she was noticed by the young leader of Yanyue Sect. The young leader specially came to propose a marriage and they have already been married."
This time, the Taoism sects are recruiting disciples in Dasheng City, including Yan Yue Sect. After the recruitment of disciples is completed, Guan Bao will follow Yan Yue Sect into the Taoism world.
"What does this have to do with me entering the Taoist world?" Ding Huan doesn't understand.
Ku Qi waved his hand:
"How can it not be related? Just hear me out. Guan Bao has a unique hobby, which is that she takes great notice of food and really loves gourmet cuisine."
"However, the chef from Yan Yue Sect did not follow the sect here to participate in the recruitment of disciples. Therefore, a temporary ordinary cook had to be hired in Dasheng City to take care of her meals along the way."
Ding Huan understood Ku Qi's intention, he meant for him to apply for the job of a cook. He was carrying a pot, which seemed to have a little bit of the spirit of a cook.
Ku Qi was unaware of Ding Huan's thoughts and lowered his voice even more:
"You don't think this news is simple. My second uncle is the granary leader of Changjue Village, and he is also here with me. Guan Bao is his niece, otherwise, I really wouldn't know this."
This news was not publicized but just notified some famous chefs to apply. You should go right now and it should still be in time. Of course, if the dishes you cook do not meet the taste of my cousin, there's no help for it."
"Thank you, Brother Ku. Where is it?" Ding Huan decided to give it a try.
Ku Qi said:
"It's at the Jin Manor in Dasheng City. My third uncle, Jin Shouping, is the public security chief of Dasheng City. Just ask anyone and you'll find it."
"Thank you, Brother Ku. Whether or not I get to enter the Taoist world, I will remember this favor." Ding Huan said sincerely.
Ku Qi lowered his voice even lower:
"Brother Ding, I feel that you are not ordinary, so I listened to your words. Can you tell me now why you cannot join the Shuanghun Sect?"
To be honest, before this, Ku Yi had regarded the Shuanghun Sect as his own goal.
Ding Huan felt that there were no people around, so he spoke in an even lower voice:
"Brother Ku, whether what I say is true or false, you must immediately forget it after hearing it. Do not mention it again."
Ku Yi pounded his chest: "Brother Ding, rest assured, I guarantee I won't blabber."
Ding Huan nodded.
"I also heard it from a friend of mine. Shuanghun Sect recruits top-level genius disciples, which may very well be for the elders of the sect to use for a body upgrade."
After saying that sentence, without waiting for Ku Yi to respond, Ding Huan left with Old Six quickly.
Ku Yi, however, was left speechless.
Takeover, takeover...
He suddenly pale, feeling that Ding Huan was speaking the truth.
Even a new recruit with excellent talent cannot become a senior leader within a year.
Ding Huan's words could make sense. That is to say, they were originally senior leaders, but their physical bodies had deteriorated and their cultivation levels had not improved. Therefore, they needed to take over new bodies.
"Brother, I'm planning to go check out the Shuanghun Sect. Who knows, maybe I can join it."
Ku Yue came over and slapped Ku Yi on the shoulder, making the already frightened Ku Yi jump.
He is more outgoing than Ku Yi. Although his talent is also quite good, he has not yet chosen which sect to join.
Ku Yi reacted quickly and shouted fiercely, "Not allowed! You can only join a sect with me."
"Ah..." Ku Yue was shocked by Ku Yi's over-the-top reaction and immediately wondered,
"Brother, we had said before that in choosing a sect, we wouldn't interfere with each other."
Ku Yi said coldly:
"Now I've changed my mind, you must listen to me."
Ku Yue's face looked a bit uncomfortable. In the Ku family, the rule was that if their parents were not around, they must listen to their eldest brother.
...
The Jin mansion is very easy to find. Ding Huan only asked one person and arrived at the outside of the Jin mansion.
Ding Huan could hardly imagine that the mansion of a public security chief was so vast.
He scanned the entire Jin mansion with his spiritual awareness and found it to cover at least several dozen mu.
This is in Dasheng City, where land is very valuable. Only those with great power and status could have such a wide area of land.
Ding Huan felt that he had come in time, his spiritual awareness revealed that eleven chefs were already waiting in a large hall.
"Who are you looking for?" A servant looked at Ding Huan standing in front of him with confusion.
It was actually Ding Huan's peculiar attire that caught the servant's attention. He was carrying a big bag and had a monkey following him.
Ding Huan bowed: "I am here to apply for the position of chef for Miss."
Apply for the position of chef.
The servant's corners of the mouth curled into a mocking smile:
Are you sure you're applying for the chef position?
Ding Huan felt a bit off-balance. His spiritual awareness discovered that there were more than a dozen people waiting inside the mansion.
According to his spiritual awareness, five or six of them were carrying cooking utensils and it was clear that they were here to apply for the chef position as well.
Why would he come to apply for a chef position, and why did the servant's gaze seem so strange?
"That's right, I am here to apply for the chef position." Ding Huan confirmed.
"Put your things down and get out of here." The servant reached out and grabbed the tiger head knife leaning against the side.
Ding Huan laughed in anger.
It seems like the servant is threatening to kill him if he doesn't hand over his things.
"If you don't want a chef, then forget it." Ding Huan turned to leave.
"Don't you think you can just come and go as you please?" The servant blocked Ding Huan's path.
Suddenly, he pressed something down.
In a short time, Ding Huan saw more than a dozen servants rushing over. The leader was wearing a manager's outfit and looked like a butler.
"Manager Chong, this fellow must have heard some news from somewhere to dare to come here to apply for a chef position."
Upon seeing the butler-like guy approach, the servant quickly went forward to report.
"Youngster, tell me who told you the news, and then sever your own leg, and I'll let you live."
The butler-like guy smiled coldly and walked up to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan frowned, something wasn't right.
Ding Huan had some relationship with Ku Yi, and there was no conflict of interest between them. There was no reason for Ku Yi to harm him.
"If you don't say, then it's out of your hands." The butler said, and then raised his hand.
The dozen or so servants behind him surrounded Ding Huan, waiting for the butler's order to strike.
Ding Huan's spiritual awareness scanned and revealed a masked woman walking not far from the courtyard inside the gate. Despite her disguise, it couldn't block Ding Huan's spiritual perception.
She is really beautiful. Except for Xinyue, who has restored her appearance, he hasn't seen any woman as beautiful as this one.
This should be Guan Bao, the one who is supposed to recruit a chef.
Thinking of this, Ding Huan shouted loudly:
"I am here to apply for the chef position. If you don't let me in, then I will leave. But what is the meaning of this? Are you going to kill me as well?"
Ding Huan spoke loudly, directing his voice towards the woman's ear.
Ding Huan felt that this incident seemed not to be what the butler was presenting.
"Arrest him." Seeing that Ding Huan not only didn't submit but also dared to ask arrogantly, this made the butler extremely angry.
The servants pulled out their weapons one after another, and Ding Huan could only sigh and decide to kill some and leave Dasheng City.
"Who dares to move?" A cold voice echoed.
The crowd turned to see a young girl standing at the entrance of the courtyard, covered in a veil.
Without even looking at her face, just seeing her slender and graceful figure, all the servants knew that the young lady had arrived.
"Miss..." The butler's face turned pale in an instant.
He couldn't understand at all why the miss would appear here.
Normally, the miss would rarely leave the yard alone, and she was about to leave the mortal realm, so she mostly didn't even leave her room.
Today, the miss not only came out but also walked outside the yard.
"What's going on?" Guan Bao asked in an icy tone.
"This person has unknown origins, was acting suspiciously at the entrance of Jin Manor, and I was planning to arrest him and send him to the city guards."
The butler hurriedly said.
He only hoped that Ding Huan would be scared at the moment and not make any noise to explain himself.
Ding Huan only realized he was thinking too much. He bowed and said:
"I heard from a friend that Jin Manor is hiring a chef, and I think my cooking skills are decent, so I came to give it a try."
"After coming here, I was told that they don't need a chef, so I was about to leave. But they wouldn't let me go and even threatened to break my leg and keep my bag."
"Is that so?" Guan Bao calmly looked at the butler.
The butler broke out in a cold sweat and mumbled for a long time but couldn't come up with a single word.
"It seems to be true after all." Guan Bao's tone remained calm.
The butler dropped to his knees and knelt on the ground:
"Miss, please spare my life. I was possessed by evil spirits. I thought that these foreign chefs were not very capable and didn't want to let them enter the mansion to waste your time."
"Guan Bao didn't pay attention to the butler and only spoke to Ding Huan:
"If you have come for the chef examination, then go in first. The examination is about to start."
Ding Huan bowed:
"Thank you, miss."
After speaking, he entered the Jin Manor with Old Six without any hesitation.
This is about whether he can enter the realm of Taoist cultivation, and he wouldn't be polite about it.
Although Ding Huan entered the mansion, his spiritual awareness remained outside, he wanted to see how Gan Qiao would deal with the group of servants.
"Are all these people under your management?" Guan Bao asked in a calm tone.
The butler quickly replied:
"Yes, I apologize, miss. I promise..."
Before the butler could finish his sentence, Guan Bao simply waved her hand and spoke in a calm tone:
"Check how many more are with him in the mansion, including those here. Kill them all."
"Yes." A sudden voice echoed, followed by a man with a fierce expression standing in front of the butler.
And at this moment, Guan Bao had already entered the yard.
Ding Huan felt a chill run down his spine. This woman had a great propensity for violence.
The butler seems to be acting out of self-interest, selling the position of chef by putting it up for auction.
Guan Bao caught on to this and didn't bother asking any other questions. She simply decided to kill everyone involved.
