Chapter 1551: Chapter 1544

Xin Lin took a sip and set down the bowl.

She frowned, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the other five Spirit Chefs took sip after sip.

As Spirit Chefs, their taste buds were naturally more acute than the average person.

Yet after tasting the soup, the Spirit Chefs all shook their heads in disbelief.

This soup was unusual.

It was smooth on the palate and lingered beautifully, suggesting a myriad of ingredients; surely this soup was a Spiritual Food Soup of at least third-rank quality.

It had to be said: the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association really showed their financial muscle by using three-star Spirit Cuisine for the exam, but most of these Spirit Chefs had never dealt with three-star Spirit Cuisine, meaning there would inevitably be a big problem.

Some of the ingredients, they hadn’t even seen, let alone describe.

Having drained a bowl of soup, the Spirit Chefs scratched their heads, struggling to discern the ingredients within.

Xin Lin had only taken one sip.

While the others hurried to write their answers, she pondered something else.

Pockmarked Face Spirit Chef saw Xin Lin had a large bowl of soup left, her face soured further.

She hesitated, then glanced at Xin Lin’s blank sheet of paper, until the others were nearly done writing, and Xin Lin finally began to write.

As the six Spirit Chefs finished, Pockmarked Face Spirit Chef glanced at Xin Lin’s paper.

"You, don’t need to continue the examination. You can leave now."

Xin Lin, surprised, looked at the Pockmarked Face female Spirit Chef.

"Vice Chairman, what do you mean? Haven’t I written the answers?"

"Look at what you wrote. It’s identical to the Spirit Chef sitting next to you."

The Spirit Chefs looked at Xin Lin’s paper, then at the paper of the Spirit Chef beside her; indeed, the two had written exactly the same.

"Even so, it doesn’t prove I copied from her."

Xin Lin shrugged.

"You did copy from me. Just now, after I finished writing, you glanced over a few times. I wrote my answers before you, so how could I have copied yours?"

The Spirit Chef next to Xin Lin was a woman about thirty, not conventionally attractive, and she scoffed at Xin Lin dismissively.

The other Spirit Chefs heard this and looked at Xin Lin with disdain.

Earlier, when Xin Lin recited so many recipes from memory, everyone thought she possessed exceptional skill; who knew she would stoop to copying others’ ingredient lists.

Xin Lin looked at the female Spirit Chef beside her and then at the Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman.

Well, this was a concerted effort to trip her up and get her to withdraw from the Spirit Chef examination.

"I did not copy from her; I wrote down the ingredients I discerned myself."

Xin Lin remained calmly composed.

"You only took one sip, yet you claim to have tasted all the ingredients in this ’Buddha Jumps Wall’ soup. Who are you kidding?"

The female Spirit Chef beside her sneered.

She was a Three-star Spirit Chef, and even she couldn’t memorize all the ingredients of the ’Buddha Jumps Wall’ soup after one bowl.

She’s indebted to the Vice Chairman for giving her the recipe, allowing her to memorize all the ingredients.

Before the examination, the Vice Chairman told her if she managed to kick this woman out, she could enter the special exam.

"I stand by my statement; I didn’t copy from her. I won’t withdraw from this exam."

Xin Lin’s face was unwaveringly resolute.

"Since you won’t take the easy way out, then face the consequences; Wangjing Spirit Chef Association isn’t a place for you to fool around. Guards, expel her!"

Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman commanded, and several sturdy Spirit Chefs came forward, ready to seize Xin Lin.
