The first taste was a strong egg aroma, rich but not greasy, with a subtle sweet and sour tomato flavor that combined to create a wonderful taste.

As far as this scrambled eggs with tomatoes is concerned, Gui Fenghuo has done a very good job, you could even say he has done it to perfection.

but,

Su Yuewan felt like something was missing.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what was missing, but compared to Bai Hao's scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Gui Fenghuo's scrambled eggs with tomatoes lacked something that could move her heart.

However, in terms of taste, Gui Fenghuo's dishes were not groundbreaking, nor were they much better than Bai Hao's. This might be because the upper limit of a dish like scrambled eggs with tomatoes is already set.

However, Gui Fenghuo was so frightened that the scrambled eggs with tomatoes didn't give her the feeling she had been longing for. In this respect, Bai Hao was clearly better.

She already had a general idea of ​​the answer in her mind, but she didn't say it aloud.

"How is it? This tastes good, doesn't it?" Seeing Su Yuewan savoring the food, Ning Wan thought she was so moved by how delicious it was that she didn't know what to say.

"Yes, I can only say that Gui Feng Huo's cooking is impeccable." Su Yuewan exclaimed.

"That's right. There's probably no one on the entire Divine Radiance Continent who can cook better food than Gui Feng Huo," Ning Wan said proudly.

"Come on, keep eating. This is a rare opportunity. You might not be able to eat Gui Feng Huo's dishes next time."

"Tch, the taste is just so-so, everyone's lying through their teeth."

Bai Hao couldn't taste how delicious it was; it was barely on par with Bai Hao's.

Even the culinary god of the mighty Divine Radiance Continent is nothing more than this.

He had originally thought that if Gui Feng Huo's cooking was really that delicious, he might be able to learn how to make it, since asking questions is a traditional virtue.

But now it seems there's no need for that anymore.

...

Su Yuewan tasted every dish here. Judging from the taste alone, Gui Fenghuo's dishes were indeed impeccable. Compared with Bai Hao, it was hard to say who was better.

After all, the dishes Gui Fenghuo makes are basically different from those Bai Hao makes.

Only that plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Overall, the biggest difference between the dishes Gui Fenghuo made and those made by Bai Hao is that Bai Hao's dishes were so delicious that she wanted to eat them again and again, and couldn't forget them.

However, Gui Feng Huo's dishes don't have that feeling.

Su Yuewan was somewhat disappointed.

Originally, Gui Fenghuo's cooking had already left an indelible impression on her. With the passage of time, that original taste has been continuously improved and perfected in her heart.

Perhaps the meal wasn't actually that delicious, but in the hearts of Su, E, Yu, and Wan, it has become an indelible part of her memories.

This mindset made the memory of that meal more and more perfect in her mind, to the point that her expectations for this meal from Gui Feng Huo were extremely high.

But the reality is that while the meal was indeed very good, it didn't meet her expectations.

Indeed, memories are most perfect when they remain in the past. Even if you can never get them back, it's better than getting them back only to find they're no longer the same as you remember them.

...

After the meal was finished, the leftover food, along with the bowls and chopsticks, was cleared away. At that moment, someone came in from where the food had been served.

This was a middle-aged man, dressed in a red robe, spirited and with piercing eyes. The most distinctive feature was the two tufts of mustache at the corners of his mouth, which pointed upwards instead of downwards, like an upside-down "eight," making his originally serious face look rather comical.

And he is none other than the renowned Gui Feng Huo!

"The three of you, are you satisfied with this meal?" Gui Fenghuo asked politely with a slight smile.

"Not bad, it's been so long since I've tried your cooking, it hasn't gotten any worse." Ning Wan was the first to comment.

Next up was Su Yuewan.

"Many years ago, I had the honor of eating your cooking once. I still remember the taste. Now, after many years, I am eating it again, and it is indeed incredibly delicious."

Upon hearing this, Gui Fenghuo carefully examined Su Yuewan before exclaiming in surprise, "So it's Sect Leader Su! I was wondering why you looked so familiar. I remember when we first met, Sect Leader Su was already as beautiful as a fairy. Even after all these years, Sect Leader Su's beauty hasn't diminished at all!"

Listening to their conversation, Bai Hao roughly knew that this middle-aged man must be the legendary Gui Feng Huo.

He was indeed a bit arrogant. A cook with only the early stage of the Breaking Boundary Realm cultivation, yet he dared to speak like that in front of Su Yuewan and Ning Wan, two of the strongest people in the world.

It just goes to show that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and the world is full of wonders.

If you have something that everyone admires, then you can speak so arrogantly.

However, Bai Hao didn't quite like Gui Feng Huo.

Even though his cooking isn't much better than Gui Fenghuo's, why does Gui Fenghuo earn so much respect?

He can do it too!

In particular, Su Yuewan actually thought that his cooking skills were inferior to Gui Fenghuo's, which was simply the greatest insult to a chef!

And why is it that Su Yuewan can respect Gui Fenghuo so much, but can't show him even a little respect?

Is this what they mean by different fates for the same people?

No! He disagrees!

He wants to prove himself!

If Gui Fenghuo can earn so much respect with his culinary skills, then so can he!

[That Gui Feng Huo is all he's capable of. I'm going to defeat him with my culinary skills and become the new God of Cookery. Then I won't have to worry about Su Yue Wan's exploitation anymore!]

Bai Hao saw a bright future right in front of him, and he was determined not to let it slip away this time!

However, Su Yuewan stood in the way of the bright future.

However, Su Yuewan did not want to stop Bai Hao from challenging Gui Feng Huo; instead, she wanted to use another method.

Wasn't he trying to gain greater prestige by challenging Gui Feng Huo, thereby escaping her clutches?

Since that's the case, she might as well block this path completely and take a dark road instead!

“Senior Gui, this is my unworthy disciple, who also loves cooking and has always admired you. So I brought him here this time, hoping you could give me some pointers. What do you think?” Su Yuewan asked.

Upon hearing this, Gui Fenghuo looked at Bai Hao beside him with some surprise.

"Oh? Sect Leader Su's disciple enjoys cooking? That's quite rare. Since Sect Leader Su has said so, and today is an auspicious day, I'll offer some pointers."
