The Legacy System

The skills of Doctor Huang in processing and dealing with the herbs seemed to be so elegant, and exquisite like watching a Master Chef cook a delicious meal.

On the other hand, young Chef Chen's, or Eric's movements were like seeing a crude and brute man chopping vegetables with a machete.

Way different from each other!

This situation made Doctor Huang extremely pleased with himself as he thought that a country bumpkin was only at this level, it should have been a coincidence that he found the antidote to the poison.

He wasn't the only one to think like that, as the majority of the crowd around them seemed to be thinking the same. Eric seemed to have no chance against Doctor Huang.

At this moment, a commotion started from behind the crowd as some new faces appeared at the venue, amidst them the most familiar was Li Yao, and Cui Xie, while Colonel Cao was beside Li Yao.

It took them only a bit of aura and pressure to carve open a path to the inside of the Gao mansion amidst the Gao family members.

Still, they couldn't help but think that there was something wrong with the current situation, as Li Yao couldn't help but ask one of the servants,

"What's happening here!?"

"Miss Yao, something great is happening inside. Young Chef Chen managed to bring a magical antidote in time and save the life of Young Master Gao Jian.

But doing so he seemed to have offended a great doctor that had arrived from the capital called Doctor Huang, and they are now challenging each other in an Alchemy competition.

The time set of 2 hours is about to end soon!"

"Doctor Huang, are you talking about the genius doctor who is the disciple of the Medical Saint from M country?"

"Colonel Cao you know this guy?"

"How could I not know him, he is a true heavyweight of our national medicine. He is declared as the number one genius of our country, and people say that he can even bring the dead from the grave!

Most probably it has been Doctor Huang who saved your nephew Miss Li Yao, and that young cook you said just claimed the credit.

I know Doctor Huang personally, he is a true Master!"

At this moment Colonel Cao seemed to be quite pleased and proud of himself, but he couldn't continue for long as the servant said with reluctance,

"This Sir, I don't know who you are, but the whole family noticed young Chef Chen give the antidote to Young Master Gao and save him, while Doctor Huang said that he was dead!

In fact, he even went as far as to call young Chef Chen a fraud and assassin, before taking the initiative to challenge him!"

"How dare a servant talk like that to me! Are you not afraid of death!?"

It seemed like the servant's words had hurt Colonel Cao's arrogance at that moment, as she seemed ready to fight against a normal servant.

"Colonel Cao don't get angry at these poor servants, they are just retelling what they know, let us enter inside and see what is going on!"

"Hmph~! For Young Master Cui Xie's sake, I will let this go!"

With that said, Cui Xie started walking in front, startling the crowd of people at the venue. After all, who didn't know about the bad blood between their Gao family and Cui Xie.

A lot of people seemed to have intentions to act against him, to try and kill him there and then as he had entered in their territory, but the presence of Colonel Cao pushed them back.

It was only when they entered the inner circle where the challenge was going on, that finally Gao Tianji landed eyes on him and started screaming,

"How dare you appear here Cui Xie? Do you think that our family is full of women and vegetarians? I will kill you today!"

Cui Xie just looked at him like he was a fool, and instead looked towards the angered and enraged Gao Jian, and the complex Li YunMu as he said with a solemn tone,

"There are quite disturbances, and separations among us, but now that wolves are surrounding us I think it's wiser to cooperate and unite against them."

His words came as a surprise to everyone at the venue, as they didn't understand who he was referring to, and what would the mother-son duo do.

The Li Saint seemed to be a bit surprised at the happenings, but he was quickly given a brief from Li Yao and could understand the current situation.

"Sure, sure, I agree with you Brother Cui. In fact, I think that we should show our willingness to cooperate with each other, and I am even willing to marry your little sister to seal our cooperation!"

Everyone had expected something like this, but they were still a bit surprised hearing Young Master Gao Jian talk like that, even Eric's knife cut a bit more forcefully at that moment.

No one noticed that though, as they were more curious about Cui Xie's response and reaction. Cui Xie's face turned a bit dark and gloomy, but he still kept his coolness and calm as he said,

"I would wish to do that brother Gao Jian, it's just that unfortunately a few days ago my sister was picked up from a Great Master of Martial Arts as her disciple, and I can't reach her for the moment!

As for the expression of my goodwill, I think that the herb which saved your life should be enough proof of that don't you think?"

The news of Cui La being taken away from a Master of Martial Arts caught everyone by surprise and especially Young Master Gao Jian.

Furthermore, he had another disadvantage working against him, which was the fact that Cui Xie had practically saved his life.

The tension had increased by quite a bit inside the room, as Young Master Gao Jian felt like he was being taken for a fool, as he said,

"Brother Cui you came all over here to ask for our cooperation and help, but you are actually being insincere with us! Don't you think it's a bit unwarranted!"

"Hahahahah~! Brother Gao, you surely know how to joke around! I am not here asking for your help, or the Li family's help.

I am here to offer my help and cooperation, if you don't need it then I can just turn around and leave, thinking that I have just done a favor to an ungrateful person!"

"You dare!"

"Jian'er shut up! You are crossing the line!"

"Mother…"

"Young Master Cui Xie was the one who offered the herb to cure you of your poison! You can't act like that in front of him!"

"Hmph~! Who knows perhaps this was his plan from the start! Trying to actually poison me himself and make us owe him one!

He must have planned this with that young cook, otherwise, how would he find the antidote that easily!"

Once again the crowd was thrown into a startle, as everyone was thinking deeply and whispering about the new turnaround.

After all, it seemed extremely plausible! But the one who was the angriest was Eric, because this piece of trash had unwittingly hit jackpot, and was ruining his plans.

At that moment, he even regrated to have cured him of the poison. Li family Saint couldn't help but look weirdly at him as well.

Noticing all the looks around him, Eric continued with the concoction of the medicine in front of him, as he looked calmly and coolly towards the Li Saint and said,

"Could it be that Li Saint thinks that it is truly the case?"

"Haiz~! I am too old already and have seen a lot of things, so my mind can't help but get blurred!"

"Hahahahahah~! What a good blurred mind Li Saint! Well, wouldn't you have all the evidence you need once you find the one who administered the poison!?"

Li Saint didn't have time to actually say something, as Young Master Gao Jian jumped the bullet,

"You could have planned everything so you don't come out as guilty! Furthermore, why would I need you to heal me, Doctor Huang is already here!"

"Time is up I think Li Saint!"

It was at this time that Doctor Huang finally opened his mouth to say something, until now he had been silent in order to keep his concentration.

He was assured that Eric had lost this challenge due to everything that happened and he couldn't be happier about all this.

Seeing the confidence emanating from Doctor Huang, Young Master Gao Jian continued with his foul mouth,

"You see, he is so much better than you! So it stands to reason that you sketched this whole situation and had the antidote ready!"

"Hahahah~! A frog at the bottom of the well could claim the whole sky as its own! Today this young one's eyes have been truly open Young Master Gao, Li Saint!

I thought that Li family was an honorable one, worth working for, but it seems like I have been wrong!"

Then returning towards Cui Xie, he continued,

"Young Master Cui, I feel truly ashamed of my earlier words, and promises! It seems like I had seen wolves as dogs, and unwillingly lied to you.

Don't worry though, I plan to repay you in the future as long as I am alive!"

Hearing those words, everyone understood that young Chef Chen was actually planning to make an escape at this moment.

And his words clearly showed he had been angered and disappointed with the Li family. All of a sudden he looked like an enemy of the Li family…
