Special Expert of Beauty CEO

”Depending on each other for life? Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

Feili Xue listened to Qin Tian’s words and smiled slightly, saying, ”My home is originally in the Imperial City. I came here just because I was invited by East Han Academy to give lectures. Once I’m done with this year’s lectures, I’ll return to the Imperial City and won’t be staying here permanently. So, I only brought Xiao Li with me. This explanation makes sense, right?”

”It makes sense. I couldn’t tell, Teacher Fei, that you’re so young and yet an Alchemy Master. It takes someone from the high-up in East Han Academy to invite you. I admire you so much.”

”There’s nothing to admire; alchemy is just our Fei Family’s duty. We’re simply continuing our ancestral heritage.”

Seeing Qin Tian finished chopping vegetables and starting to prepare other ingredients, Xiao Li was very curious: ”Qin Tian, your cooking style is different from mine. I’m quite curious about how your dishes will taste...”

”Then keep your curiosity. I’ll first make sweet and sour pork ribs, then homestyle fish, and finally fried rice with egg.”

Qin Tian said it, and then he focused on cooking, speaking no more.

He knew very well that if he wanted to get closer to Feili Xue and build a good relationship, the dishes he prepared this time had to attract her.

Having cooked countless times, this time, Qin Tian was the most attentive and nervous.

After giving it his all, an hour later, Qin Tian’s sweet and sour pork ribs came out steaming.

”Wow, so this is sweet and sour pork ribs? What does it mean, with vinegar and sugar?”

Xiao Li, who also knew how to cook, was very curious upon seeing the sweet and sour pork ribs.

Qin Tian nodded: ”If you like sweet and sour things, this should suit your taste.”

Saying so, he placed the dish in front of Feili Xue: ”Teacher Fei, would you like to try it?”

Feili Xue smiled slightly: ”I actually quite like sweet foods.”

After that, she picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth...

”Mm, delicious, really delicious!”

Feili Xue’s eyes brightened instantly as she stared at Qin Tian: ”Qin Tian, the taste of your sweet and sour pork ribs is really delicious, I like this taste...”

Feili Xue was a bit excited and quickly said to Xiao Li: ”Xiao Li, hurry up and try it.”

Xiao Li had long been eager to try, so she also picked a piece and put it in her mouth.

After tasting it, Xiao Li marveled: ”Wow, you can actually make ribs taste like this... Qin Tian, you’re really amazing. Miss, do you like it? How about I learn from Qin Tian how to make sweet and sour pork ribs so I can make them for you in the future?”

”Sure.” Feili Xue thought of something and said, ”No, just you learning isn’t enough; I also need to learn. I told my master that I must personally make a delicious dish for her to taste, and I think this sweet and sour pork ribs would be good, as my master definitely hasn’t tried it.”

The two girls were very happy, and Qin Tian, on the side, was also very happy.

The goal was achieved.

Since Feili Xue already said she wanted to learn cooking from him, it meant they would have more opportunities to interact in the future, and through Feili Xue, Qin Tian’s chances to meet high-level figures in East Capital would definitely not be few.

”I originally worried if I needed to cook more dishes to attract her, but I didn’t expect just one dish of sweet and sour pork ribs to do the trick. This is a bit surprising for me.”

Qin Tian was very satisfied in his heart.

Then, he made homestyle fish and Qin’s egg fried rice.

Feili Xue and Xiao Li had both tried these dishes before, and Xiao Li could even make them.

However, when Qin Tian finished cooking and served them to taste, the two of them were instantly rendered speechless by Qin Tian.

”Qin Tian, how did you make this? The homestyle fish has a spicy taste, really delicious! I feel like you simply added more Sichuan pepper...”

Xiao Li was puzzled, ”And this egg fried rice, such a simple fried rice, how did you make it taste so much better than what I can make?”

Xiao Li was a maid; cooking was her main duty.

However, after tasting Qin Tian’s dishes, she resolved to learn cooking seriously from Qin Tian.

Feili Xue also gave Qin Tian a thumbs-up, praising him non-stop: ”I’ve eaten so many kinds of dishes and all sorts of delicacies, but why do I feel that your homemade dishes today taste even better than those delicacies... Truly worthy of being from a family of chefs!”

Faced with the praises from Xiao Li and Feili Xue, Qin Tian felt a bit embarrassed.

A family of chefs...

In fact, when he made the homestyle fish, Qin Tian worried it would taste the same as the one Feili Xue had made before, so he deliberately added more Sichuan pepper, turning it into a mix of homestyle fish and Sichuan pepper fish, unexpectedly achieving excellent results.

”Except for this fried rice being my secret Qin’s egg fried rice, the homestyle fish and sweet and sour pork ribs were actually made just using the secret recipes passed down in my family.” Qin Tian was very humble.

”Qin Tian, in the future, you must teach us how to cook; you can name your compensation.”

After eating Qin Tian’s food, Feili Xue actively wanted to become a disciple and learn from him.

Qin Tian waved his hand: ”Teacher Fei, you teach me alchemy, and I teach you culinary arts, let’s call it even and not talk about compensation. Let me know in advance when you want to learn, I’m usually free at the academy, just call me anytime.”

”Alright, it’s settled then. Now, since you’ve cooked, let’s have dinner together. Xiao Li, set the bowls.”

Feili Xue didn’t put on airs and directly invited Qin Tian to have dinner together.

The three of them dined, chatted, and laughed, and Qin Tian felt that just this evening, his relationship with Feili Xue had become much closer, almost like friends.

As they were about to finish eating, Feili Xue asked Xiao Li: ”Xiao Li, has anyone come looking for me?”

Xiao Li replied: ”Yes, General Sun from the Imperial City’s Forbidden Army has come looking for you, saying it’s on City Lord’s order to discuss alchemy matters with you.”

”Also, there’s an invitation from the City Lord Mansion inviting Miss to a gathering at the City Lord Mansion on the sixth, where the City Lord will host guests.”

”And, don’t forget there’s an appointment tomorrow noon, Dean Li Zhongao of the academy has invited you to his residence to be a guest, don’t forget...”

Listening on the side, Qin Tian was thrilled to hear that the people Xiao Li mentioned were all prominent figures in the East Capital City.

The Forbidden Army of the East Capital is the most formidable army in the city, and Feili Xue actually has a good relationship with the general from the Forbidden Army; and the City Lord Mansion—by the looks of it, she comes and goes like it’s her own home; and as for Li Zhongao of East Han Academy... Dean Li is famous as the Vice Dean!

It seems getting close to Feili Xue really presents opportunities!

After leaving Feili Xue’s residence, Qin Tian walked down the road alone, contemplating his next plan.

The task of approaching Feili Xue is already completed, and he needs to be ready at any time to approach the core figures in the East Capital City’s power circle through Feili Xue.

The path of revenge is about to begin!
