The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2815 The Senior Brother Who Loves to Cook

Senior brother?
Lin Chen subconsciously thought of Li Ping'an. Back in Hengshan, Nanyue, when the sect leader was not in charge, it was Li Ping'an who upheld the sect's reputation.

"Where did he go? Can you contact him?"

Gong Jianying smiled and said, "Exploring a new world, but don't worry, he left a magic treasure in the sect. Through this magic treasure, we can send a message to him. We can tell him that you have come to visit, but whether he is willing to come back is uncertain."

Lin Chen thanked him and said, "Thank you for your help."

Gong Jianying laughed and said, "No need to be polite. My master admires you. He even told us that someone like you, born in a small place with no background, who has grown into a Great Immortal in less than a hundred years, is an exceptionally talented person."

Lin Chen felt relieved. It seemed that Master Taixu truly appreciated him, though this might be due to the fact that he was an old friend and the former owner of the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror.

"Wait a moment, I'll go find my senior brother and send a message to Master."

Gong Jianying said one thing, then added, "That communication artifact is managed by the eldest brother."

Lin Chen stood up and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Fairy!"

Gong Jianying returned after about half an hour, but he was no longer alone. He was accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, with gentle and upright eyes, giving people a warm and refined feeling.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, we have sent a message to our master. He replied that he is currently at a critical moment and cannot leave. He has asked our senior brother to receive you on his behalf. If you have any questions, you can tell our senior brother."

Gong Jianying pointed to the middle-aged man beside him: "This is our senior brother Wen Mengsheng from Taixu Mountain."

Wen Mengsheng?
What an elegant name!

This name suits its owner perfectly!
Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Wen!"

He addressed Master Taixu as "senior," and since he himself was a Great Immortal, it was quite reasonable for him to address Wen Mengsheng as "senior brother."

Wen Mengsheng smiled gently and said, "Junior Brother Lin, hello, welcome to Mount Taixu. If you are not in a hurry, you might as well stay here first. After all, you have come from afar and must be tired from your journey. Rest first, and we can talk about business later."

Since he was a guest, Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry and readily agreed, "Then I'll take my leave!"

Wen Mengsheng personally arranged an empty attic for Lin Chen to stay in, allowing him to rest for a while, and then invited Lin Chen to have dinner together that evening. Of the twelve disciples of Master Taixu, only four were at home at the moment: the eldest brother Wen Mengsheng, the fifth sister Yu Yuelan, the seventh brother Liang Zhifeng, and the youngest sister Gong Jianying.

The four of them, plus Lin Chen, made up the five of them sitting at a table with a rather lavish spread of dishes, all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

Gong Jianying's eyes lit up: "Lin Chen, we're really lucky to have you here today! Our senior brother is cooking for us personally, and he's using only the best ingredients. We're in for a treat!"

Lin Chen looked at Wen Mengsheng in surprise: "Senior Brother Wen, do you also like to cook?"

Wen Mengsheng laughed and said, "I wouldn't say I love cooking. It's just that when I traveled all over the country with my master, I couldn't just waste good ingredients, so I learned to cook them. The more I cooked, the more I learned. Judging from your tone, Junior Brother Lin, you seem to be quite skilled at it as well."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I used to be alone when I was still a mortal. I always had to eat and drink, so I cooked for myself. Over time, I learned to cook some simple dishes. After entering the world of cultivation, I didn't lose this habit. When I encounter good ingredients, I collect and save them. When I'm bored or when I have a gathering with friends, I take them out and cook something delicious. However, my skill level is definitely not as good as Senior Brother Wen's."

Wen Mengsheng smiled and said, "The art of eating is all about the heart. Who is really that much better than whom? Let's talk about the art of eating sometime later."

Lin Chen adopted a rather humble attitude: "Okay, I'll learn from Senior Brother Wen."

Wen Mengsheng spoke humbly, without any air of superiority, and chuckled, "Let's exchange ideas."

Of the various dishes on the table, Lin Chen only recognized two. He sighed, "The world is so vast, and there are so many strange things. With so many ingredients, I can only recognize two. The places I've been to and the things I've seen in the immortal realm are still too few."

Fifth Senior Sister Yu Yuelan chuckled, “Master is always out and about, and has been to countless new worlds. There are so many novel and unfamiliar ingredients he has never seen before. He doesn’t like to cook, but when he comes across good ingredients, he collects them and brings them back to Senior Brother. So, it’s hard to say whether our Taixu Mountain has other things, but these various ingredients are all top-quality and plentiful.”

Lin Chen looked at the four people in front of him, his feelings quite complicated.

Master Taixu and his twelve disciples must be like a family. Judging from the size of this table, they probably eat together at the same table all the time.

Such a scene is rarely seen in the immortal realm, but it also highlights the uniqueness of Mount Taixu.

A truly enlightened master!
