Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1710: Chapter 1690:

He Wenyu stared at Luo Qianqian’s expression for a moment, understood her meaning, and then wore an innocent look.

She really didn’t dare to eat it.

There was no way around it, while other people’s cooking might just be bad, Luo Qianqian’s dishes, apart from fried rice and instant noodles, made you at least have diarrhea, and at worst? Haven’t tried, but she didn’t want to meet her end because of this ’experiment’! She’s still young, you know.

Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, such a coward, yet she still complains? No matter what, didn’t Ning Wei once eat these failed dishes, right...?

However, He Wenyu didn’t get up to make something to eat because the courtyard had guests, and they were strong and oppressive guests that restricted their movements.

But soon, the old man’s powers protected the room, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Only the bucket in the room couldn’t withstand the pressure and shattered, and He Wenyu also suddenly appeared in front of Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian hurriedly grabbed clothes to put on He Wenyu, fearing that the ’uninvited guest’ would come in to investigate the next second.

”The Headmaster is here, may I know the reason for this honored visit? Sorry for not greeting you from afar.” The old man looked serious, though it would have been better if he wasn’t holding a bowl and eating.

”Eating alone again!?” The Headmaster eyed the food in the old man’s hand with wide eyes: ”I didn’t believe them when they said there was a strange fragrance in your courtyard! I thought it was Bai Yinshu’s spices, but then you...!”

”I knew it was those boring old geezers complaining! So you’re going to pick on a young girl because of that? No respect for elders.” The old man chattered away, his hands moving quickly to eat, as if afraid it would be taken away.

The Headmaster, to maintain his image, calmly looked elsewhere, though the bobbing Adam’s apple betrayed his real thoughts.

”Alright, you’re here for the one specifically recruited for that event, right? But... although this thing smells nice, it doesn’t accomplish much, does it?” The Headmaster frowned: ”And there’s more than three years, is that enough to train her?”

”More than three years? She has less than three years.” The old man licked the bowl clean and naturally looked at the Headmaster: ”Don’t forget that special admissions are in the Yellow Class.”

”Yellow Class... Can’t you be a bit more flexible?” The Headmaster was suddenly furious: ”Even if she can’t get into the Heaven Class, she should at least be able to make it into the Earth Class, right?”

”You didn’t allow me to cheat.” The old man leisurely picked up a teacup, releasing a fragrant aroma.

The Headmaster paused, staring straight at his hand.

”Besides, even if people from the Heaven Class have been cast down, who knows, maybe they’ll create miracles?” The old man spoke indifferently, as if he could foresee miracles happening.

The Headmaster clearly didn’t believe it, heaved a heavy sigh: ”Miracle? I hope so... ”

”Why do you have the time to come over? Aren’t those people giving you trouble?” The old man asked curiously: ”And those few old geezers, they can’t leave themselves, but must find you to complain, absolutely shameless, I condemn them!”

The Headmaster: ”...” Can I also strongly condemn you? Eating alone and you find it reasonable?

Fine, eat if you must, but you’re smacking your lips. Smacking your lips is one thing, but when you see him there’s no intention to curry favor by offering him a bowl? Is there any such clueless subordinate? If there is, you’d be mad enough to die, it’s downright infuriating!

”Those two little girls are not bad, they endured it and didn’t fall.” The Headmaster didn’t forget to mention.

The old man rolled his eyes, you’re really funny? If he hadn’t protected them, were you planning to keep adding pressure? You don’t see them as freshmen at all!

”Alright, I’ll leave first, later... tonight, bring me some food, if you don’t, I’ll take on everyone’s issues and have them come find you.” The Headmaster threatened.

The old man huffed angrily, his whiskers twitching, helplessly watched the Headmaster leave.

After the Headmaster left, he stamped his feet and gestured towards the direction he left, venting silently, clearly not wanting the two little girls in the courtyard to hear anything.

Never seen such people, bullying an honest subordinate just for their own appetite! Don’t they know he has things to do too?

Moreover, that guy eats a lot!

The most important thing is, he doesn’t believe that guy isn’t aware of why these two little girls came here!

Obviously they’re sick, so why should they cook for you? It’s utterly unreasonable! Unreasonable, unreasonable!

Mumbling for a while, he still could only look towards the quiet room.

For such matters, he was powerless, so he could only turn to those two little girls for help.

And one of them was still sick...

But he couldn’t take a bunch of noodles, right? If the noodles sat too long... they wouldn’t taste good anymore!

”You two little girls, listening for so long, now that the man’s gone, why aren’t you coming out?” The old man wondered aloud.

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu were indeed eavesdropping and now could only sheepishly exchange glances before pushing the door open. Luo Qianqian supported He Wenyu, the two of them feigned a puzzled look as if they hadn’t heard anything.

For such matters, how could they not take the opportunity for some extortion?

”Alright, what do you want?”

Seeing the two faces, the old man immediately recognized their intentions and was dumbfounded.

Why are there cunning foxes above, and here are two little foxes below? Won’t they hike up the price? He has authority and Glory Points, but... he shouldn’t be too generous to these two little girls, right?

”Isn’t it something you’d like to discuss with us? Seems like you called Shiliu for a competition or something, isn’t that right?” Luo Qianqian smiled slyly, showing no intention of giving up her advantage because of the old man’s helplessness.

The old man was momentarily speechless. They hadn’t even started learning, and they were already scheming? Should he consider returning them?

...No returns, why return them? At the worst, they stay at the bottom, but that shouldn’t hinder such good cooking skills! His future depends on gourmet foods, right?

Thinking this way, the old man looked calmly at the two: ”Well, you must first show some corresponding abilities for me to decide, right? If in the first month you’re at the bottom, then you wouldn’t last three years, would you? At that point, what competition are you talking about? You can’t even stay in the academy then, right?”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes instantly: ”Don’t you need other options to say that?”

”Bai Yinshu.”

The old man answered naturally.

Luo Qianqian was momentarily stunned, Bai Yinshu, huh, it’s indeed fragrant, but as for the rest, not so much.
