Sima You Yue disagreed, she had no plans to accept apprentices.

“I will stay here only for a while, and I can’t teach you anything.” She shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter, as long as I can learn to cook, I can follow you!”

“But it is not convenient for me to follow me.”

“I don’t care, since you’ve won me, you are my Master.” Xiao Ling was a little shameless.

“Don’t tell me whoever wins you is your Master?”

“No one has ever beaten me, you are the first.”

Sima You Yue: “…”

“If you don’t agree, he won’t give up.” Xi Er Mo said the second sentence after going downstairs.

Sima You Yue didn’t expect that he would speak, and looked over in surprise. Xi Er Mo stopped talking, took the tea from the guard, and lowered his head to taste the tea.

She retracted her gaze, Xiao Ling looked at herself expectantly, his eager gaze was a love for food, and she couldn’t bear to refuse.

“But if you follow me and you can’t learn anything, isn’t this for nothing?”

“Even learning a little is also a Master! A Master for a day is a Father for a lifetime, no, umm?Mother.” It can be seen that Xiao Ling was a straightforward man.

“Alright, I can teach you how to cook, but please forget about parental relations!” Sima You Yue said, “I will teach you everything I know during this period of time here. How much can you learn? That’s your own business. We’ll talk about whether you recognize me as Master then.”

“Thank you, Master!” Xiao Ling immediately bowed his head and knelt down.

“Since the matter is over, I will go back first.” Xi Er Mo said, “Xiao Ling, bring your Master to my place tomorrow.”

“Yes, Honorable.”

Xi Er Mo glanced at Sima You Yue before leaving. He still had the same gaze but he seemed to have insight into something, leaving her nowhere to hide.

She cleared her throat and said, “Well, since I won’t be here for long, I will teach you something today.”

“Alright! Let’s go to the kitchen!” Xiao Ling said excitedly.

Sima You Yue’s best dishes were not the dishes she made today. Today, these were only chosen for competing. When she went to the kitchen to show off her specialty barbecue, medicated food, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, etc., Xiao Ling’s eyes were almost aflame.

Sure enough, his Master was really amazing!

Sima You Yue saw that it was not early. Wu Lingyu and Fu Xi were here waiting for them and had nothing to do, so she said to Xiao Ling, “I will teach you these things first, we’ll do the rest another time”

Xiao Ling learned a few new dishes and was already very happy. He couldn’t wait to try it. Seeing that Sima You Yue was leaving, he put down the ingredients in his hand, sent her out from the back door, and told her to go to Xi Er Mo’s place the next day.

“I think Xi Er Mo seems to know something.” On the way back, Sima You Yue said how she felt.

“It seems that after he came down,he was very cold to the others, but he had been watching you cook the entire time and even started to talk!” Fu Xi said.

Wu Lingyu didn’t speak, but he also felt it.

“I always think he knows the way he looks at me, otherwise, why should I go tomorrow? Isn’t it to cook for him?” Sima You Yue said.

Wu Lingyu held her hand: “We’ll know when we go.”

Sima You Yue smiled at him.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ling went to the inn to look for her. The luxurious carriage stopped at the door and immediately attracted countless eyes.

Xiao Ling got off the carriage and started shouting as soon as he entered the inn: “Master, I’m here to pick you up. Are you ready?”

Sima You Yue, Wu Lingyu and Fu Xi came from the backyard. Xiao Ling saw her and immediately greeted her: “Master, are you ready?”

“Ready, we can go.” Sima You Yue said.

“Let’s go then.”

Xiao Ling took them into the carriage, and when he boarded it, he started to talk about which dishes she had taught and how they tasted last night, and brought some for her to taste.

Sima You Yue listened to him and ate the dishes he had made and pointed out the shortcomings in his process. The two talked all the way to Xi Er Mo’s Manor.

The guard at the door saw Xiao Ling’s carriage and greeted him.

“Young Master Xiao.”

“Where is Honorable?” Xiao Ling got off the carriage and wanted to turn around to help Sima You Yue, but saw that Wu Lingyu had helped her get off.

“Drinking tea in the West Garden.” The guard replied.

“In the West Garden again.” Xiao Ling sighed, “Go ahead, we’ll just go over by ourselves.”

“Yes, Young Master Xiao.”

Sima You Yue followed Xiao Ling in Xi Er Mo’s Mansion. Seeing him familiar with the road, she asked: “Are you familiar with the Honorable?”

“Yes, he is my Uncle.” Xiao Ling said, “but no one here knows. You are my Master, so I told you, but don’t spread it!”

“Xi Er Mo turned out to be your Uncle?!” Sima You Yue and Fu Xi cried out together, forgetting the word “Honorable.”

“Ahem, this news is indeed a bit unacceptable.” Xiao Ling touched the back of his head and looked at them apologetically, “However, you can’t call Uncle like that.”

“Oh.” Fu Xi nodded, “You turned out to be Xi Er Mo… the nephew of Honorable, this is too surprising.”

“My mother and the others want me to come here for experience, but I only like to cook, so I just opened a restaurant here.” Xiao Ling said, “Whenever Uncle wants to find me, he comes to Hundred Miles Ambrosial. Actually, my Uncle isn’t a foodie like the rumours but just to see me, such rumours came about.”

“So that’s the case, no wonder I said that I felt strange when I saw him yesterday!” Only then did Sima You Yue understand her psychological confusion.

“I know that I can’t hide from the Master, who loves food, and you can see the customer’s feelings for food at a glance.” Xiao Ling was not surprised at all.

“Is your Uncle easy to talk to?” Sima You Yue asked.

“How to say this, it depends on the situation. If he is in a good mood, he is better to talk to.” Xiao Ling said, “but he is in West Garden today, so he should not be in a good mood.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, every time he’s in the West Garden, his mood is relatively low.” Xiao Ling said, “The West Garden was built much later. The structure is very different from other places. Uncle will only occasionally go there and I don’t know why he will see you there today.”

He said that yesterday. It seemed to outsiders that he wanted them to make good food for him, but Xiao Ling knew that he wanted to see Sima You Yue.

They went to the West Garden and saw Xi Er Mo who was drinking tea alone in a pavilion on a rockery.

Xi Er Mo saw them coming and saw her walking in the middle at a glance.

“Uncle.” Xiao Ling obediently bowed.

“I have seen the Honorable.” Sima You Yue and the three also saluted.

Xi Er Mo looked at her and said faintly: “Let’s talk, what’s your purpose?
