Shocking! Unprecedented shock!
The two or so people present all turned their gazes to Yang Zhen, who was searching around, their faces showing expressions of surprise and doubt.
Who is Mo Xueling, the successor of Ink Pool Peak?
She was the most promising person on the entire Ink Pool Peak, the apple of the Ink Pool Peak Master's eye.
Who is Spirit Maiden Hua?
Although she didn't have a powerful backer, she was able to defy fate and condense the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Root. Her potential was even greater than Mo Xueling's. If she wanted, she could join major sects like Mo Xueling's, the Spirit Learning Palace, or even the North Maiden Academy at will.
In fact, the two had already attracted much attention when they first arrived at the birthday celebration. Now, upon hearing Ning Wuque's words, everyone suddenly realized that there was such a thing.
The man favored by both spirit maidens was right there, and what's more... he was a cook at the Void Refinement Realm?
Seeing Yang Zhen's nonchalant expression as he looked around, everyone's lips twitched uncontrollably.
Damn it, who Ning Wuque talking about? Don't you have any idea?
What are you still looking at?
Everyone wanted nothing more than to rush up and slap Yang Zhen to the ground, then rub him together to see if it would catch fire or generate lightning.
How could someone who looks so ordinary, except for being somewhat handsome and whose cultivation level is only at the Void Refinement Realm, possibly win the favor of two spirit maidens at the same time?
And he was dressed as a chef, which is almost impossible.
"Hmm?" The old palace master looked at Yang Zhen's clothes and said in surprise, "He's actually a cook from my Spirit Learning Palace. When did such a talented young man appear in my Spirit Learning Palace's kitchen?"
The other experts from the Spirit Learning Palace exchanged bewildered glances, and even Palace Master Liu showed a hint of surprise as she turned to look to the side.
Before long, the burly Nongyu sister, like a little hamster, timidly approached Palace Master Liu.
After learning the whole story, Palace Master Liu suddenly understood and said with a smile, "So that's how it is! I never expected that my Spirit Learning Palace would be so full of hidden talents. In such a small kitchen, there is actually a young man who can win the favor of two spirit maidens at the same time. Someone, go and invite this young man to the stage."
Sister Nongyu's eyes suddenly widened, and she stood aside in fear, staring at Yang Zhen with disbelief, seemingly not understanding what had happened.
Everyone was shocked to see a disciple of the Spiritual Academy, at the Divine Travel stage, walk down the stage and head towards Yang Zhen.
Is this person really just a cook in the Spirit Learning Palace's kitchen?
this...
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing disbelief, as if they were in a dream.
This guy who was favored by two spirit maidens was just a cook in the Spirit Learning Palace's kitchen, but everyone could see that even Palace Master Liu had a smile on her face, and the old Palace Master was beaming with pride. After all, a cook was still considered a member of the Spirit Learning Palace.
Even a cook from the Spirit Learning Palace's kitchen was able to win the favor of two spirit maidens, one of whom was a disciple of the renowned Ink Pool Peak, a fact that brought honor to the elders of the Spirit Learning Palace Spirit Learning Palace present, no matter how you looked at it.
Seeing someone from the Spirit Learning Palace come down, Hu Tao had been staring blankly, was startled and grabbed Yang Zhen, saying, "You... you be careful. Ning Wuque is targeting you like this; he definitely doesn't have good intentions."
Yang Zhen chuckled, winked at Hu Tao, and said, "Let me tell you a secret!"
Hu Tao was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "What secret?"
Yang Zhen's lips curled into a strange smile as he glanced at Ning Wuque, who was now looking at him with a gloomy expression, full of self-importance.
"Actually... I didn't have good intentions either!"
Hu Tao was stunned, clearly not understanding what Yang Zhen meant.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, the Palace Master requests your presence!" The Spirit Learning Palace disciple approached Yang Zhen Yang Zhen said to him with a strange expression.
Yang Zhen nodded, stood up, and said, "Thank you for your trouble!"
When everyone saw that Yang Zhen had actually stood up, they were all taken aback and looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty, exchanging bewildered glances.
" Yang Dingtian actually dared to stand up! Can't he see that Ning Wuque is targeting him?!"
"I really don't know if he's genuinely stupid or just pretending. Getting on the stage at a time like this is easy, but getting off is not so easy."
"That's not necessarily true. Yang Dingtian is no ordinary person, capable of winning the favor of two spirit maidens at the same time. Not to mention whether he's stupid or not."
"Could he really have a gift more precious than the Half-Mountain Painting? How is that possible?"
Almost no one had a high opinion of Yang Zhen, and no one could understand why Yang Zhen dared to stand up. Could he really remain unscathed under these circumstances, relying solely on the favor of the two spirit maidens?
Even if he escapes unscathed, he'll still lose face, and this incident might even change the two spirit maidens' opinion of him.
Yes, that must be it!
Ning Wuque had this idea: he was determined to make Yang Dingtian lose all face.
At this moment, Ning Wuque Yang Zhen Yang Zhen with a gloomy and uncertain expression, a playful smile flashing across his face.
Among the crowd, many people were also watching the expressions on Hua Youyue Hua Youyue Mo Xueling 'Mo Xueling faces. To everyone's surprise, neither of them showed any worry.
This... this is truly blind trust.
Even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts from Ink Pool Peak and North Maiden Academy frowned, looking at the two women with some confusion.
While the experts of Ink Pool Peak were somewhat dissatisfied with Ning Wuque, they also had reservations about Mo Xueling. Would a dignified successor of Ink Pool Peak value a cook in the Void Refinement Realm so much?
The Void Refinement Realm experts from the North Maiden Academy were somewhat surprised and uncertain. Seeing that the two women showed no sign of worry, they all gave Yang Zhen a deep look.
At this moment, Mo Xueling suddenly giggled, took Hua Youyue's hand, and said, "Do you think that guy will embarrass himself?"
Hua Youyue's gaze hadn't left Yang Zhen. Upon hearing this, she shook her head. "No!"
Mo Xueling looked at Hua Youyue speechlessly, then chuckled and said, "You really do blindly trust him. But it's strange, I have the same feeling too. Ning Wuque really thinks he's too shameless to want to embarrass Yang Zhen!"
Upon hearing the two women's words, the experts from the North Maiden Academy and Ink Pool Peak exchanged bewildered glances. Even the experts at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm were completely confused, clearly not understanding where the two women's trust in Yang Zhen came from.
The two rascals Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, returned sometime earlier, sneaking around in the crowd, whispering to each other.
On the main platform, Palace Master Liu smiled at Yang Zhen and asked, "Are you Yang Dingtian?"
Yang Zhen smiled and nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, replying firmly, "I will not change my name or surname, I am Yang Dingtian!"
"What a spirit!" Palace Master Liu's face showed a hint of satisfaction. She glanced at Ning Wuque and said, "Since you've entered the Spirit Learning Palace Spirit Learning Palace's kitchen, you're now one of us. And the fact that you've won the favor of two spirit maidens is your own good fortune. Don't worry about whether there are any gifts or not. What's important is that you have the intention. I heard that you invented that hot pot and spicy soup for the old Palace Master's birthday?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and stared in disbelief at Palace Master Liu, then at Ning Wuque, whose face had turned ashen.
This... no one expected that Palace Master Liu would be so protective of her own!
These words practically gave Yang Zhen a way out. Regardless of whether Yang Zhen could produce a congratulatory gift or not, he could easily save face and save face, which was something no one had expected.
After all, they were "one of our own." Everyone stared at Ning Wuque in astonishment; his plans were clearly going to fall through.
However, at that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly smiled and said, "Of course there's a gift, and I'm not like some people who think they can just throw out some junk to get by!"
What?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone was in an uproar, completely dumbfounded.
Yang Zhen, Palace Master Liu gave him a way out, yet he still wants to court death?
Upon hearing this, Ning Wuque's expression, which had been fluctuating between anger and joy, suddenly flashed with a look of wild delight.
