Chapter 1653: Chapter 1645: An Eye for an Eye
The Young Prince of Tu Yuan Country came to assassinate Chu Beiqing, but failed.
The Poison Venerable received orders from her master to capture Chu Beiqing alive if possible, and if not, to kill him directly.
After arriving in Purple Cloud City, the Poison Venerable tried to infiltrate Qingtian Academy.
But she found out that there was actually a master lurking by Chu Beiqing’s side.
That master, although not making a move, made it difficult for the Poison Venerable to act.
Now that Xin Lin has returned, the Poison Venerable has even fewer opportunities to strike.
The Poison Venerable thought that the best method would be to make Chu Beiqing swallow the Heart Erosion Gu, and have him deliver himself to her.
Perhaps, she could also use this opportunity to directly deal with Xin Lin and take out the Fu Tian Pill.
The father and son duo, Chang Hao, had no choice but to comply.
The next day, Xin Lin and Wan Niang, along with others, were preparing for the opening of Taoyao Pavilion.
Around noon, news came from one of Ma Jingtian’s brothers.
"You say Chang Hao brought generous gifts and a doctor to visit the sick?"
Xin Lin was very surprised to hear this.
"Manager Chang personally came, saying that they’ve caught the insider who stole the ingredients. They realized it was a misunderstanding and came to apologize. They’re still at Chu’s Restaurant now."
Upon hearing this, Xin Lin furrowed her brow.
She immediately decided to go and have a look.
In Chu’s Restaurant, Ma Jingtian was flattered and chatting enthusiastically with Chang Hao.
"Master Ba Wang, you’re here."
As soon as Ma Jingtian saw Xin Lin, he rose to his feet.
He already knew the identity of his little boss.
"This must be Master Ba Wang, the head chef of Taoyao Pavilion, pleased to meet you."
Seeing Xin Lin, Chang Hao hurriedly stood up and greeted with clasped hands.
"Manager Chang, are you here to apologize?"
Xin Lin’s voice was icy cold.
She glanced at Ma Jingtian, who fell silent.
Ma Jingtian, forgiving so easily.
Just three fingers and a few words of apology were enough?
Internally, Xin Lin was growing more dissatisfied with Chang Hao.
Coming to apologize now, where was this earlier?
"Yes, yesterday, there was some misunderstanding. After realizing I wrongly accused Master Ma, I came to apologize. Fortunately, Master Ma’s fingers were saved."
Chang Hao finished speaking, looking remorseful.
Although the three fingers hadn’t fully healed, according to Ma Jingtian, he would have no problem continuing as a Spiritual Delicacy Master in the future.
That Ma Jingtian’s fingers could be saved was quite surprising to Chang Hao.
He had encountered cases on the battlefield where a severed finger couldn’t be saved.
It seemed Xin Lin’s medical skills truly inherited her father, Chu Beiqing’s, expertise, very impressive.
But no matter how impressive, against the Poison Saint’s Heart Erosion Gu, it’s still useless.
Chang Hao sneered internally.
"Forget about the apology; we cannot accept this gift."
Xin Lin’s tone did not improve in the slightest.
She is someone meticulously careful, and for those who hurt her, it’s impossible for the matter to just end like this.
Chang Hao’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.
But immediately, he forced a smile and asked,
"Master Ba Wang, what would you consider an apology then?"
If it weren’t for the Poison Venerable demanding that he must, by any means, win over Xin Lin, he would have left already.
"It’s simple, compensate where Ma Jingtian was hurt."
Xin Lin spoke without a hint of negotiation.
At this, Chang Hao’s face changed.
Ma Jingtian hurriedly stood up and acted as the mediator.
"Master Ba Wang, my fingers are fine. You see, Manager Chang is here sincerely to apologize, and he even promised to support you as the Chairman of the Purple Cloud Spirit Cuisine Master Association."
This was the main reason why Ma Jingtian didn’t mind his injury.
