Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Black and White Grocery Store

On this day, Zhang Jiuling was still kneeling in front of the inn where Wu Tian and the little one were staying. This inn, located next to the square, was crowded with people. Many came to watch the spectacle, not understanding why Zhang Jiuling was kneeling there.

After Wu Tian came out holding the little one, Zhang Jiuling immediately kowtowed and said, "Master, my heart is as firm as iron, unbreakable. I love the culinary arts and long for the Martial Path. I hope you can fulfill my wish."

The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion. They didn’t understand what Zhang Jiuling wanted to learn, but seeing how earnest he was, many were moved enough to shout in his support.

"Just take him in."

"Yeah, I saw this man kneeling here at five in the morning. Please fulfill his wish."

"A person with such determination is rare. Whatever he wants to learn, just teach it to him."

A group of onlookers, completely ignorant of the situation, began to voice their opinions one by one.

BANG!

BANG!

Muffled thuds echoed. It turned out that Zhang Jiuling, seeing how supportive the crowd was, felt he needed to step up his efforts. He began to bang his forehead heavily on the ground, creating the dull sound.

He had great confidence in this approach. He had once gone abroad to study, hoping to learn the culinary techniques of different countries. However, he was rejected because he was from the Dragon Country. What Zhang Jiuling wanted was not just any culinary skill, but the unique secret techniques of each country’s most exclusive restaurants. How could such skills be taught to him?

Later, he came up with this strategy. The first time he used this tactic, he knelt at the doorstep of a master chef in Korea, day after day, until he finally moved the man. Later, he knelt before a master chef in Fusang and was successful once again. He had used this tactic to great effect.

This time, Wu Tian did not sidestep Zhang Jiuling but instead walked toward him.

Noticing this, Zhang Jiuling continued to kowtow enthusiastically, shouting, "My heart holds only the culinary arts, and I am willing to give my all for it."

He was ecstatic; he had finally succeeded! Once he learned the Way of Culinary Cultivation, the Imperial Kitchen could become a genuine Jianghu sect. And he, Zhang Jiuling, was destined to become a legend in the history of the Imperial Kitchen, his name recorded for posterity.

I have always been the one doing the scheming. When has anyone ever managed to scheme against me?

In everyone’s eyes, Wu Tian remained silent. However, he used a subtle Dharma to project his voice into a fine thread of sound that entered Zhang Jiuling’s ears alone. "Those who scheme against me must pay the price. You’d better get out of here right now. Soon, you’re going to become a vegetable."

With that, Wu Tian left, carrying the little one.

Zhang Jiuling knelt in place, his face blank and his mind reeling. He hadn’t expected that this tactic, which had worked on the Koreans, the Fusangs, and others, would fail so utterly against Wu Tian. But what surprised him even more were Wu Tian’s last words.

He would become a vegetable? Could it be true?

Has the family behind me realized I’m investigating? Did they recall him?

A grocery store named "Black and White" piqued Wu Tian’s interest. Black and white can represent Heaven and Earth, or Qiankun. They are the colors of the game of Go. Many who love Go are fascinated by this Dao of black and white. He who can grasp black and white can control the world! Of course, these were just his own musings for now.
