NOVPUBChapter 795: Chapter 543 Testing and Warning_2 Chapter 795 -543 Testing and Warning_2 Of course, this did not mean that she was now capable of challenging a high-ranking Great Grandmaster.
Her understanding of Innate True Qi was only slightly better than Lei Ting鈥檚, far from reaching the level of effortless control.
Even Lei Ting, with his steadfast heart, couldn鈥檛 help but show a hint of envy in his eyes when he looked up towards the upper floor.
From this, it is evident how difficult it is to advance even one step at the level of Great Grandmaster.
Chu Mo also nodded slightly.
He had thought of drawing Qin Lan to his side before, and now, having heard Lei Ting鈥檚 explanation and understanding Qin Lan鈥檚 strength, he felt even more determined to do so.
If he could keep Qin Lan by his side, it would be immeasurably beneficial to his safety.
...
鈥淢r.
Chu, breakfast is ready!鈥
The butler, Danny, carefully reminded them from the side.
Suddenly, Chu Mo opened his eyes.
He looked unconsciously toward the staircase and, seeing no movement upstairs, he instructed Danny,
鈥淭ell the kitchen to prepare some more dishes.
Inform the chef that from now on the standard of meals three times a day should double.
潡拣潣凁潟橉潡?co
Breakfast should go from twelve dishes to twenty,
lunch from eighteen to thirty-six, and dinner should double as well.
If the chef is too busy, get in touch with Zhan Bingxue and have her bring over a five-star chef from Tianxiang Garden or Tengwangge Hotel.
All ingredients must be of the highest quality and freshest.
Whatever delicacies Tianxiang Garden has, we should be the first to have them here.
Miss Qin Lan will be dining with me from now on.
Whatever Miss Qin says represents what I say.
Go and make the arrangements!鈥
Upon hearing this, the butler immediately bowed in agreement and then turned towards the kitchen.
Although Chu Mo had given only a simple instruction, the kitchen of Emperor Xuan would probably become much busier from now on.
In the entire Magic City, there are only two Michelin five-star chefs, one at Tianxiang Garden in the Seven-Star Hotel and the other at Tengwang Pavilion International Hotel, second only to Tianxiang Garden.
Yet, with just a word from Chu Mo, Magic City was about to lose one Michelin five-star chef to serve Chu Mo wholeheartedly at Emperor Xuan.
Chu Mo鈥檚 words were not loud, but he believed that the newly advanced Great Grandmaster upstairs could not have failed to hear his instructions.
Of course, that was the result he wanted.
Similarly, Chu Mo wanted to test whether Qin Lan鈥檚 love for treasures was still as intense as before after advancing to Great Grandmaster.
The kitchen started getting busy again while Chu Mo closed his eyes to wait quietly.
The time was now 8:05 in the morning, and he was not yet hungry.
Before long, light footsteps came from the doorway.
Chu Mo looked up and saw a small figure slowly walking towards the hall.
The little girl with long flowing hair was wearing a black beret, a dark red long dress, and a black short leather coat, looking mischievously cute.
Chu Mo glanced at the living room door and when he turned back, he noticed that the housekeeper He Qing was coming down from the second-floor staircase.
In an instant, he realized that the little girl must have flown down directly from the second-floor window.
Not bothering to say much, he directly spoke,
鈥淢iss Qin, breakfast is ready.
Let鈥檚 dine together!鈥
Chu Mo鈥檚 voice was very kind, and he even had a smile on his face, considering he was now facing a powerful mid-ranking Great Grandmaster.
Even though she looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl from the outside.
The young girl with the flowing hair glanced at Chu Mo with a smile then walked straight to the dining room.
Chu Mo also got up, but upon arriving at the dining room, he found that the tiny girl was already sitting boldly in the main seat, which should have been reserved for him.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and even though Chu Mo was indeed willing to please the Great Grandmaster, his face grew cold at her presumptuous behavior.
What he needed was a Great Grandmaster who would obey his commands, a Great Grandmaster who could protect his safety, not one who threatened his position and showed him disrespect.
If that was the case, Chu Mo would rather have her leave.
Sitting in the main seat, Qin Lan鈥檚 mid-ranking Great Grandmaster strength meant that even Lei Ting was no match for her.
In Emperor Xuan, her power was supreme, reaching the extent where she could do whatever she wanted.
But Chu Mo would never truly let her have her way.
If today she took his seat and he did nothing, then tomorrow she could drive him out of the villa, and the day after, she might take control of his forces, turning him into a puppet!
Although these were at least Chu Mo鈥檚 speculations, they were not without the possibility of happening.
Chu Mo did not sit down, but instead stood quietly at the entrance of the dining room, then silently watched Qin Lan, who was seated at the head of the table.
His expression was calm, but beneath that tranquility lurked a faint oppression.
Qin Lan was indeed powerful, having the strength of a mid-level Great Grandmaster after her recent promotion, but she was not invincible.
If she were to challenge Chu Mo鈥檚 bottom line, he would likewise spare no expense to eliminate her.
The current Qin Lan had only just advanced in her cultivation, her strength still unstable.
If former Great Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan and Lei Ting were to join forces, with the assistance of several half-step Grandmasters, Chu Mo was confident he could kill the woman before him.
However, such an action would inevitably come at a great cost, and Chu Mo was not willing to take that step unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, all of this hinged on one condition: the other party must not challenge his bottom line.
At the entrance, Chu Mo quietly watched Qin Lan across from him, his eyes devoid of any intention to compromise or retreat.
He had already made his decision, so a trace of iciness appeared in his gaze.
Being stared at directly by Chu Mo, the young girl seated at the head position tilted her head slightly, evidently not expecting Chu Mo to be so resolute.
She frowned slightly, and the young girl suddenly spoke:
鈥淪tingy!鈥
At the fall of her words, she stopped challenging Chu Mo鈥檚 bottom line.
With a light flicker, she immediately moved from the head of the table to a position at the side.
Only then did Chu Mo slowly step forward to his own designated seat.
The maid immediately prepared a dish for him.
Picking up a knife and fork, Chu Mo quietly savored his meal and spoke with an indifferent voice:
鈥淭his is the first time, and I hope it is the last.
If such an incident occurs again, I will ask you to leave.
I believe I鈥檝e told you before, I have two Great Grandmasters on my side.
One is Mr.
Lei Ting, whom you鈥檝e met.
The other is Thunderclap Hand Jiang Dingnan.
Mr.
Jiang advanced to Great Grandmaster twenty years ago and has since become unfathomable.
I鈥檓 not saying this to boast or to threaten, but to warn you.
If it happens again, I guarantee you will regret it!鈥
After Chu Mo spoke, he did not continue.
All that needed to be said had been said; continuing would not only be pointless but might also irreparably sever their relationship.
After all, Chu Mo very much wanted to recruit a Great Grandmaster.
At the very least, even if they couldn鈥檛 be friends, they absolutely should not become enemies.
Qin Lan鈥檚 previous actions were clearly a small test, but after discerning Chu Mo鈥檚 bottom line, she no longer spoke out.
Picking up the cutlery in front of her, the little girl, whose true age was far beyond estimation, began to eat heartily.
The two quietly ate their meal, and neither spoke this time.
However, a rift had already formed between them, and Chu Mo had begun to guard against her in his heart.
Just as Chu Mo was about to put down his utensils and stand up to leave the dining room, the young girl by his side suddenly spoke:
鈥淩est assured, I鈥檓 well cared for here with good food and drink.
Even if I were to leave, it鈥檚 not guaranteed I鈥檇 find such favorable treatment elsewhere.
I have no need to take such risks.
After all, the purpose of my cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique is to gain the strength to protect myself and live a carefree life.
I definitely would not be so foolish as to make an enemy of a formidable force soon after achieving success in my cultivation.
Decades of cultivation, decades of toil, I would not be so foolish as to fight against myself.鈥
