Chapter 608: Memory Seal (1/2)

”Cough, cough... I didn't know he was your father. Sorry if I offended you.”

The man shook his head.

”There is no need to apologize. I'm just an old man who likes to cook, that's all.”

Krune then thought about something.

”Oh, right! I understand that Tulike somehow trusts me, but why would his mother? Could it be that it has something to do with senior being a Spiritual Chef too?”

The old man's brown raised a little.

”Why you say that?”

Krune then explained.

”Well, as a Spiritual Chef myself, I can see a lot of the other chefs' personalities through their dishes. That's not something that only I can do either. Most of the Spiritual Chefs I interacted with, especially the one who showed me this path, could also more or less do it.”

The old man smiled.

”The Spiritual Chefs' most important trait, the love for food. This is the absolute requirement to become one. Obviously, we all can more or less judge a character through their cooking skills.”

Krune nodded.

”Tulike didn't always eat in my restaurant. Sometimes he would be in a hurry, so I would make Spiritual Food for him to bring it with him. I guess he brought some of it to senior, right?”

The man laughed out loud and didn't try to deny it.

”You got me. Indeed, way before Tulike found about your employee's bloodline, I had the chance of trying your food. That's why I told him that you could be trusted. I can see this much in the way you prepared the food and the care for those who eat it. Such a person would never betray his friends. So it was indeed me who told Franlia to let you off the hook.”

”However, the thing about the Earth Dragon Bloodline is outside my reach. You will need to see if you can convince her by yourself. Well, you could say that you are already quite lucky that you even have a chance to talk with Franlia. It's hard for others to get an audience with her in times of peace, let alone during the war.”

Krune nodded once more and bowed to thank the man.

”By the way, how should I call you, senior?”

”You can simply call me Rag. I have no status in the Sect, and only a handful knows about my existence to start with. I'm somewhat accomplished in cultivation, but I'm far from being a match to my wife. Hahaha!”

Tulike shrugged his shoulder after that.

”Well, that's basically the truth. The one who really liked you was my father. After all, I know nothing about Spiritual Food other than eating it. However, I trust my father's judgment, so I really consider you a friend.”

Krune talked with Tulike and Rag for some time before Rag returned to the kitchen. Krune had nothing to do, so he also accompanied Rag there, and they began to talk about their food ideas. Rag was a lot better at cooking Spiritual Food. After all, his rank was several times higher than Krune. Still, Rag was quite pleased with Krune's ingenuity. Without a doubt, Krune and Rag were having quite some fun during their talk.

As for Tulike, he went somewhere else since he couldn't really understand much about Spiritual Food. It was better to leave those two foodies alone.

Time passed in a flash, and without Krune or Rag noticing, night time came. It was then that Tulike entered the kitchen with a woman. However, neither Krune nor Rag saw the two coming inside. At that moment, they were looking at the food on a pan. Rag was concentrated in the harmonization time as Krune didn't lose a single detail. That was an idea that popped out while they were talking.

Only a few minutes later did Rag finally finish the dish. It was also at that moment that the two of them noticed Tulike and the woman. Krune didn't need to think much to understand who she was.

”Hello, senior, my name is Krune. Thanks for not locking me up as well.”

The woman was obviously Franlia Katuas, the Sect Master of the Sky Shifting Sect.

”I only did that because Tulike and my husband vouched for you. Also, I believe you should know, everyone thinks I'm single. Don't go around opening your mouth. Well, no one would believe you anyway, but just in case.”

Krune nodded.

”I wouldn't dare. The reason I came by was so that I could ask Sect Master to release my two employees. Nina and Lino might have Agaran's bloodline, but they didn't even know about that until the day they were caught. During the time Nina was below the Core Formation Realm, I used a blood contract on her, so I can guarantee that she isn't lying.”

Franlia looked at Tulike and Rag with a weird expression.
