Chapter 224 As a chef, you must never be without your knife!



Abbess Miejue suddenly changed her nasty attitude, and her tone became gentle.

There's no doubt there's something fishy going on!

Li Huan said loudly, "My surname is Li and my given name is Huan. I am only good at cooking, and I don't know any martial arts. How dare I call myself a young hero!"

Abbess Miejue laughed and said, "Young Hero Li possesses extraordinary strength, and his 'Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife' is incredibly sharp. Although you don't know martial arts, your skills surpass those of many martial arts practitioners!"

Li Huan said, "Old nun, you flatter me. I run a stall and serve customers politely. I never fight with anyone!"

"However, sometimes I encounter ferocious wild dogs, so I grab a butcher's knife to defend myself and hack the wild dogs away!"

Upon hearing this, Abbess Miejue's face turned gloomy again.

Ding Minjun, Abbess Jingxuan, and other Emei disciples also looked displeased.

Li Huan's statement about "slashing wild dogs" was clearly a veiled insult and a public humiliation of the Emei Sect.

Abbess Miejue suppressed her anger and tried her best to appear kind.

"Young Master Li is quick-witted and straightforward, which I greatly admire!"

"Today, the six major sects are besieging the Demonic Sect. Why doesn't Young Hero Li join forces with the Emei Sect, unleash the power of the 'Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife,' eradicate the Demonic Sect, and uphold justice?!"

Li Huan understood.

The cunning old bald nun set his sights on the "Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife" and attempted to persuade Laozi to join the ranks of the six major sects to fight against the Ming Cult.

After all, with the Heaven-Slaying Sword mysteriously disappearing from the scene, Li Huan's "Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife" rightfully became the "King of Weapons"!

Abbess Miejue continued, "As long as Young Hero Li joins forces with the Emei Sect to eradicate the Demonic Sect, let alone two hundred boxed meals, even two thousand boxed meals, the Emei Sect can buy them!"

"Really?" Li Huan feigned surprise. "You're not lying to me?"

Master Jingxuan, with her quick wit, took out a thick stack of silver notes from her sleeve.

"Young Master Li was right, this stack of silver notes is worth a full 100,000 taels!"

Master Jingxuan waved the silver note, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"After you join forces with the Emei Sect to eradicate the Demonic Sect, the 100,000 taels of silver will be yours!"

Holy crap, holy crap.

They've painted a huge picture of the future!

Li Huan knew that if he agreed to Abbess Miejue's request, she would never pay him the silver notes after the Ming Cult was destroyed. Instead, she would find an opportunity to steal the "Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife".

So-called reputable sects often use the guise of "punishing evil and promoting good" to employ cunning, vicious, and despicable means!

"Wow, 100,000 taels!" Li Huan deliberately looked greedily at the silver notes in Master Jingxuan's hand.

He clicked his tongue a few times and turned to look at the Ming Cult's camp.

"To be honest, I really want to earn those 100,000 taels of silver, but unfortunately, I don't know martial arts. How can I help the Emei Sect with just a butcher's knife?"

Abbess Miejue hurriedly said, "Most of the disciples of the Demonic Sect are seriously injured and cannot resist Young Hero Li's divine power, let alone the 'Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife'!"

"Yes, yes!" Ding Minjun chimed in immediately, helping Abbess Miejue to incite, "Master was just blasted away and fell into the snowdrift, coughing up blood! Young Hero Li's butcher knife is incredibly powerful!"

Abbess Miejue was immediately enraged and glared at Ding Minjun.

The eldest sister realized she had spoken out of turn, and quickly lowered her head and took a few steps back.

Li Huan feigned fear: "I make a living selling boxed lunches at a street stall. I dare not get involved in the fighting and killing in the underworld..."

Abbess Miejue hurriedly said, "If you dare not kill the evil cultists, you may lend me the 'Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife'!"

Finally, the old bald man revealed his true purpose.

She either uses Li Huan's "divine power" or his "magical weapon".

In short, don't make trades that will result in you losing money.

Li Huan didn't expose Abbess Miejue's tricks, and said seriously, "Let's put aside the matter of joining forces to kill the enemy for now! You must keep your promise and buy two hundred boxed lunches to show your sincerity!"

Abbess Miejue was taken aback, then nodded.

"Jingxuan! Give Young Hero Li some silver notes! Buy two hundred boxed meals!"

Master Jingxuan obeyed the order, counted out ten thousand taels of silver notes, and handed them to Li Huan.

"Amitabha!"

Master Kongzhi recited the Buddha's name and felt relieved.

If Abbess Miejue were to shamelessly refuse to buy the boxed lunch, Master Kongzhi, as a witness, would at most condemn her, but would not turn against her in order to uphold justice.

Faced with Li Huan's protest, Master Kongzhi must be extremely embarrassed, and if this matter gets out, it will also damage the prestige of the Shaolin School.

At this moment, Li Huan received the silver notes, and Master Kongzhi was also freed from his suffering.

He quickly retreated and returned to the Shaolin camp.

Li Huan unzipped his waist bag, put the banknotes inside, and took out his mobile phone.

Turn on the camera and select the "panoramic shooting" function.

Click, click...

Li Huan carefully took a panoramic photo of Guangmingding Square and saved it in his album.

Everyone stared at Li Huan with curiosity, wondering what he was up to.

Putting away his phone, Li Huan pointed to the food bucket and said.

"Old nun, quickly get two hundred boxed meals! And steamed buns too..."

"Wait a minute!"

Abbess Miejue interrupted Li Huan.

"Store these two hundred boxed meals in the vehicle for now! The Emei Sect can eat their meals after we've eliminated the evil cult!"

Li Huan nodded: "Alright, I'll save it for you."

Abbess Miejue said, "Young Hero Li, I have kept my promise and bought the boxed lunch to show my sincerity. Are you willing to join forces with the Emei Sect to eradicate the Demonic Sect?"

Li Huan thought to himself, "What kind of sincerity is this? It's clearly the price of losing to the 'Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife'!"

"Old nun, I don't know why you have a feud with the Ming Cult. As a businessman, I don't want to get into trouble!"

Seeing that she couldn't bribe Li Huan, Abbess Miejue's eyes darted around again.

“You’re timid and afraid of trouble, I won’t force you! How about I give you another thousand taels of silver and lend you your ‘Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife’!”
