In the cooking competition, Su Qianqian was like a lotus flower emerging from the water, independent of the world. She focused on the complicated cooking skills in her hands, and every movement revealed her concentration and seriousness. However, at a certain moment, she unconsciously raised her watery eyes, her sight passed through the steaming heat and the bustling crowd, and met Ye Hanxing's eyes unexpectedly.

Ye Hanxing's eyes were still cold and deep, like the most arrogant star among the ancient stars. Although emitting cold light, he had an indescribable attraction. His eyes were as deep as a dark ancient well, as if they could swallow all the light, but at some subtle moments, they revealed an elusive deep blue. There was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, just like a pool of still water, without any waves.

Su Qianqian's heart trembled slightly at that moment. Although she had seen Ye Hanxing's eyes many times, every time, she was deeply attracted by them as if she had met them for the first time. This was not the kind of love, not the kind of heartbeat, but a kind of entanglement as if it was fate, which made her unable to resist and unable to escape. She knew that Ye Hanxing had always been like this, with an indifferent appearance like ice and an unfathomable heart, but she just couldn't control herself and would always be immersed in those deep eyes involuntarily.

At this critical moment of the cooking competition, Su Qianqian tried to regain her composure, but suddenly a murderous aura spread. Su Qianqian's heart tightened, and she keenly sensed the strangeness in the air.

Then, a flash of cold light hit Ye Hanxing's back. Su Qianqian's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and she watched the hidden weapon cut through the air and attacked Ye Hanxing. However, at that critical moment, Ye Hanxing seemed to have expected it, and he slightly turned his body and cleverly avoided the deadly hidden weapon. A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained that indifference and depth. Su Qianqian felt a little fortunate in addition to being shocked, and at this moment, she more deeply realized Ye Hanxing's unfathomable strength.

In the private room of the cooking competition, Gu Yuan and Gu Peng hid in the deep shadows, drinking tea, but their eyes were as sharp as cheetahs, fixed on Su Qianqian and Ye Hanxing. The thrilling assassination just now seemed to be still happening in front of them, and every flash of cold light made their heartbeats speed up and their blood boil.

"Did you see it?!" Gu Yuan's voice was low and full of tension, "That Ye Hanxing! His movements and eyes were like a beast ready to pounce!"

Gu Peng's eyes flashed with awe and excitement: "Too fast! I didn't even see clearly how he dodged the hidden weapon! Is this really something a human can do?!"

"I don't know." Gu Yuan's voice trembled a little, "But I'm sure that the way Qianqian looked at him was definitely not just ordinary admiration."

Gu Peng took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement: "The way she looked at him was like she was deeply attracted, and also like a fateful entanglement! But it was not love!"

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Second brother, we have to admit that Ye Hanxing does have an irresistible charm. His strength, his indifference, and his depth are all like poison and addictive."

Gu Peng nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "That's right. We can't be enemies with Ye Hanxing, but no matter what, we must protect Qianqian. We must not let her get hurt."

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Peng, a trace of gratitude and determination flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will use my life to protect her.

The time has come, and the chefs of each restaurant have brought out their best skills to participate in this competition. The first dish is Tingxilou's Tranquility Fish, which is the specialty of the chef of Tingxilou. It is like a quiet and attractive painting slowly unfolding on a porcelain plate. The fish meat is a light jade white, like a piece of solidified fat in the quiet sea, with a slightly attractive luster. The carefully prepared sauce is gently poured on the fish meat, adding a bit of attractive color to it. The melt-in-the-mouth fish meat and the mellow taste of the sauce blend perfectly, making people feel as if they can feel the tranquility and depth of the quiet sea.

Su Qianqian looked straight at the quiet sea, then looked up at Ye Hanxing who had just experienced an assassination.

The Xianyun Drunk Chicken at Qiongxiao Pavilion is a wonderful delicacy. It uses fresh local chicken, paired with a secret sauce, and cooked in a unique way, making the chicken tender, juicy, and fragrant. The exclusive Xianyun wine is blended in, giving it an intoxicating aroma that will make you intoxicated. In short, this is a delicacy that you can't miss.

The Moon Shadow Cold Cicada of Yuezuilou is a unique delicacy. The ingredients are carefully selected, with fresh cicada as the main ingredient. After careful cooking, the cicada meat is tender and delicious. The unique seasoning makes the whole dish exude a faint moonlight fragrance, as if bringing people into a quiet moonlit night. After tasting it, the deliciousness of the cicada meat and the mellow fragrance of the seasoning are intertwined, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. The Moon Shadow Cold Cicada is a rare delicacy of Yuezuilou.

The last dish is the fish soup from Tianxialou, which is like a delicate painting unfolding slowly in a porcelain bowl. The soup is light golden yellow, with a slightly tempting oily sheen, yet still refreshing. The fish slices are looming in the soup, like white ribbons dancing gently in the golden soup, adding a bit of elegant beauty.

In addition, the aroma of Jinxiu Fish Soup is also unique. The rich fish aroma mixed with the light seasoning aroma forms a unique compound aroma that seems to penetrate people's hearts and make people unconsciously indulge in it. Every breath is accompanied by this wonderful aroma, making people feel as if they are in a world of tempting food.

At the bustling cooking competition, the lively atmosphere and the fragrant aroma of food were intertwined. After rounds of fierce competition, only Su Qianqian and the representative of Tingxi Tower were left. However, when the result was announced, she only won the second place. The winner was the legendary "Silent Sea Sinking Fish". Su Qianqian looked at the dish with both admiration and reluctance. The "Silent Sea Sinking Fish" was bright in color and fragrant, and it was obvious that it surpassed her in details and creativity.

She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but at the same time, her curiosity about the dish was completely aroused. She walked closer to take a closer look, trying to figure out the essence of the dish from every detail. Su Qianqian knew in her heart that it was not shameful to lose to such an opponent, but it aroused her stronger desire for knowledge.

She decided that after the competition, she must go to Tingxi Tower to learn how to make this dish. Although she lost the competition, she believed that one day she would be able to surpass this legendary dish.

After the game, the bustle of the kitchen slowly faded away, but a little warmth gathered in a corner. Su Qianqian stood there, lowering her head slightly. At this time, Gu Yuan, Gu Peng and Mi Tao came together, determined to dispel the haze for Su Qianqian.

Gu Yuan was the first to break the silence as usual: "Hey, look at our chef, what happened? Did he lose the competition or did he lose his spatula? Come on, smile, let me see which blind judge dared to give our chef Su a low score!"

Su Qianqian's originally tense mouth corners were raised a little by Gu Yuan's amusement. She rolled her eyes at Gu Yuan and said, "Go to hell, you're the only one who can talk."

Gu Yuan made a funny salute and said, "Chef Su, I've come all the way here to help you solve your problems. If you're unhappy, we can find a time to overturn the judge's pot and let them know how powerful we are!"

Su Qianqian finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Alright, alright, don't cause me any more trouble."

Gu Peng also interjected at this time. Although his words were still brief, they were like a warm breeze blowing on Su Qianqian's heart: "Qianqian, victory and defeat are common in the military. You have talent and work hard, but you just lack a little luck."

Mi Tao added sweetly: "Yes, miss, you are the best! No matter what the result of the competition is, you are the champion in our hearts."

Gu Yuan's jokes, Gu Peng's encouragement, and Mi Tao's sweetness swept away the haze in Su Qianqian's heart. She looked at the three people in front of her with gratitude, and her heart was full of strength. She knew that with such friends around her, no matter how difficult the future was, she could go on!

The next day, Su Qianqian set out on the road to Tingxi Tower alone. She was full of expectations and determined to become the apprentice of the chef of Tingxi Tower.

However, when she excitedly arrived in front of the Tingxi Building, she was blocked by a black-clothed, expressionless man - Ye Wuhen. Su Qianqian recognized Ye Wuhen at a glance, and rolled her eyes, wanting to make fun of him and tease him: "I want to go in, I want to worship your chef as my master, I want to learn the dish of "Quiet Sea Sinking Fish"! "Ye Wuhen looked at her coldly and said: "This is not the place for you, please go back."

Su Qianqian was not willing to comply. She put her hands on her hips and stared at Ye Wuhen with wide eyes: "Why should I go back? I'm here to become your disciple! Just let me in!"

Ye Wuhen still had no expression on his face: "The chef of Tingxi Tower does not accept apprentices, please go back."

"Hmph!" Su Qianqian snorted in dissatisfaction, "How do you know he doesn't accept disciples? Are you the worm in his stomach? I'm going in, you can't stop me!"

As she said this, she was about to rush into the Tingxi Building. Ye Wuhen frowned and reached out to grab her arm: "Stop fooling around, go back quickly."

"Aiya!" Su Qianqian was caught by Ye Wuhen, and suddenly she was unable to move as if she was fixed. She struggled, but found that she could not get rid of Ye Wuhen's iron grip at all.

"Let me go!" Su Qianqian shouted angrily, "You big bad guy! Let me go now!"

Ye Wuhen shook his head helplessly and let her go: "Alright, alright, stop making trouble. The chef of Tingxi Tower really doesn't accept apprentices. It's useless even if you go in."

"Hmph!" Su Qianqian rubbed her arm that was hurt by Ye Wuhen's scratch, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "If you don't let me in, I will go in anyway! I will worship him as my master today, let's see what you can do to me!"

As she said that, she rushed towards Tingxi Tower again. Seeing this, Ye Wuhen had to reach out to stop her again. In this way, the two started a funny "tug of war" in front of the door of Tingxi Tower. Su Qianqian rushed left and right, but she could not get rid of Ye Wuhen's obstruction; while Ye Wuhen was in a headache, but he could not do anything about this stubborn girl.

Just as Su Qianqian and Ye Wuhen were deadlocked in front of the Tingxi Building and engaged in a tug-of-war, a cold voice suddenly came from the dark corner: "How long are you going to make trouble?"

As the voice fell, a figure slowly walked out. It was Ye Hanxing, with a bit of impatience and confusion in his eyes, and he was obviously a little troubled by this farce.

He glanced at Su Qianqian, then looked at Ye Wuhen, and said lightly: "With Su Qianqian's martial arts, it wouldn't be so difficult to get into Tingxi Tower. This is clearly teasing you."

Ye Wuhen heard this and muttered awkwardly, "Even if she was teasing me, I couldn't really hurt her with my martial arts." He paused, and then said helplessly, "Besides, it was you who asked me to stop her, why are you blaming me now?"

Ye Hanxing did not respond to Ye Wuhen's complaint, but just looked at Su Qianqian quietly. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. Su Qianqian felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her, but she did not retreat, but met his gaze.

"Ye Hanxing, what do you mean?" Su Qianqian asked somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Are you here to help me or to stop me?"

Ye Hanxing curled his lips and did not answer her question directly. He turned around and walked towards Tingxi Tower with Ye Wuhen.

Su Qianqian stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Ye Hanxing's clothes, and said, "I want to learn how to be as quiet as a sea and sink a fish. I want to become your disciple!"

It happened to be dimly lit in that place, and Ye Hanxing held Su Qianqian in his arms, leaned close to his ear, and said, "If you want to learn, why don't you come to Tingxilou and be a cook!" After that, he left with Ye Wuhen! Su Qianqian thought to herself: I don't want to face this ghostly and charming man every day, humph, go back and think of a way!
