Chapter 12512

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhiyu immediately grasped at a lifeline and dared not utter a single word of nonsense. He quickly replied, despite the pain, "I just couldn't help myself and ate a part of her memories."

He's now afraid that if he speaks even half a sentence too slowly, the other person will suddenly throw out a math problem.

If he manages to return alive this time, this youngest son of the Food Saint will probably never dare to do arithmetic again for the rest of his life.

"Couldn't resist?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's a miracle that a little kid can be so stubborn."

"No, no!"

Cheng Zhiyu quickly corrected, "It's not that I couldn't hold back for a moment, I just can't accept that she calls herself the God of Food. My dad is called the Sage of Food and she's called the God of Food, doesn't that mean she's superior to us?"

Lin Yi asked in a low voice, "What is nine hundred and twenty-three minus seven?"

Cheng Zhiyu immediately started trembling, and added in a trembling voice, "I wanted to see what kind of cooking skills this commoner could have, that she dared to call herself a culinary god in front of me..."

There was much discussion outside the venue.

Jiang Xuyan, sitting opposite him, hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

These words, spoken in public, naturally dealt a significant blow to the reputation of the entire Food Saint lineage.

Unfortunately, given Cheng Zhiyu's current state, expecting him to remain calm in front of Lin Yi is asking too much.

Let alone a child like him, even if it were Jiang Xuyan himself, he probably wouldn't be able to remain so rational after being tortured like that.

Lin Yi turned to look at Jiang Xuyan.

"I'll hold her at the Termination Council for now. You can come and redeem her when Gan Niannian recovers."

After saying that, he picked up Cheng Zhiyu with one hand and led Li Tianguo and the others out of Yipin Pavilion.

Watching Lin Yi walk right past him, Jiang Xuyan, a recognized master of the Five-Zhang Dharma Form, didn't dare to move an inch from beginning to end.

The crowd watching from the sidelines were collectively bewildered but impressed.

They had no idea what Jiang Xuyan was going through. In their eyes, the behavior of this disciple of the Food Saint could be summed up in two words.

Give up.

The news caused an uproar throughout Tianjun.

If it were just Cheng Zhiyu, that would be one thing. Even if he is the most favored youngest son of the Food Saint, he is still just a child. No matter what he does, it cannot represent the true attitude of the Food Saint lineage.

But Jiang Xuyan is different.

He was the chief disciple of the Food Saint, and in everyone's eyes, he was the undisputed spokesperson for the Food Saint.

Such a person, especially in a public setting, makes this behavior truly intriguing.

In fact, in the eyes of those who are interested, the Food Saint himself has never personally intervened in the whole affair, which has been going on for so long.

This alone speaks volumes.

Cheng family.

As the most open-minded of the Five Saints family, the atmosphere in the entire Cheng family was solemn at this moment.

Jiang Xuyan took a deep breath and entered the Gluttonous Garden, the exclusive secret realm of the Food Saint.

The food connoisseur was enjoying his meal as always, and at first glance, he seemed no different from before.

Only Jiang Xuyan could sense the oppressive atmosphere permeating the air.

This was the first time he had ever seen his master so solemn since he became a disciple of the Food Saint.

“Master, I have failed in my duty and have not been able to bring my junior brother back. Please punish me.”

Jiang Xuyan immediately kowtowed and confessed his guilt.

The Food Saint ignored him and continued to eat voraciously until he finished the mountain of meat in front of him, then he let out a satisfied burp.

"When you're in a bad mood, you should eat more."

The Food Saint looked at Jiang Xuyan and said, "Don't kneel down. This isn't your fault. Sit down and have something to eat with us."

As soon as the words were spoken, servants appeared before the two of them, having meticulously prepared a large table of delicacies.

This is an unimaginable feast for ordinary people.

But for a food connoisseur, it can only be considered a small snack after a meal, and at most just a small part of the meal.

"Thank you, Master."

Jiang Xuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite his seemingly simple and kind appearance, with a perpetually smiling and benevolent look, the Food Saint is undoubtedly the most capricious of the Five Saints of the Clan, without exception.

It's not impossible for him to cripple his chief disciple in a fit of anger.

The culinary master handed over a roasted lamb leg.

Jiang Xuyan hurriedly accepted it with profuse thanks.

"I was practically carried up by someone this time."

The Food Saint spoke in a low voice: "The other old guys are all standing by and watching, each one trying to force me to step in and go and have a go at that guy from the Termination Society. Heh, they're all as cunning as devils."

Jiang Xuyan frowned and said, "Didn't the Nie Huichuan incident last time already prove the true nature of the one from the End of the Society? If we really want to get involved, the Five Saints should all get involved together. Why force you, Master?"

The Food Saint curled his lip: "Times have changed."

The statement that the Five Saints are one is indeed true in most cases, since they are indeed a deeply intertwined community of interests.

But the situation is different now.

The matter of the three-zhang Dharma Image quota has been settled; the next step is just a matter of timing. At that time, there will definitely be a struggle among the Five Saints.

This isn't something anyone can just press down on.

At this moment, taking advantage of the mischievous child's trouble, the Food Saint was forced to personally step into the fray and confront the mysterious master behind the Ending Society head-on. Regardless of which side lost, the other four saints would be happy to see it happen.

If both sides suffer heavy losses, then it's a win-win situation.

Firstly, it eliminates the threat of the mysterious master from the Termination Society; secondly, it reduces one internal competitor. Who wouldn't be happy with that?

Jiang Xuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Junior Brother's accident this time was a setup?"

The culinary master paused in his movements.

Cheng Zhiyu is indeed a troublemaker, and he has caused a lot of trouble in the past, but the timing of this incident is indeed too sensitive.

The key was that he just happened to offend the End Emperor.

What are the odds of such a coincidence in the world?
"If that's the case, then Master, you absolutely cannot personally get involved."

Jiang Xuyan advised.

He knew Cheng Zhiyu's importance in the eyes of the Food Saint, and dared not utter a single word about what happened on site.

If the Food Saint were to act rashly in a fit of anger, the situation would be completely irreversible.

The Food Saint said quietly, "If I don't participate, what will happen to your junior brother?"

Jiang Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "I think we can ask Yan Jiajie for help. As a grassroots leader, he has the power to influence public opinion on this matter."

"Public opinion is the way of Heaven."

"As long as the pressure is applied properly, even the one from the Termination Committee will not dare to underestimate us."

After a moment of silence, the Food Saint finally nodded.

Soon, with the full support of the Food Saint lineage, the entire Tianjun County launched a high-intensity media attack against Lin Yi.

According to word of mouth, Lin Yi was clearly a demon who took pleasure in abusing children.

What is 1000 minus 7?

This phrase has almost become the standard greeting among the people of Tianjun.

A large group of people gathered again outside the headquarters of the Termination Society.

The leader was an upright and dignified old man.

"Tianjun cannot tolerate such a demon!"

One sentence was enough to ignite public outrage.

Countless citizens of Tianjun followed suit, creating a scene even more spectacular than the previous ones.
