Chapter 1552: Chapter 1545

"Wait, hold on. I have a way to prove that I didn’t copy her list of ingredients."

Xin Lin’s expression remained calm as she suddenly spoke.

"How are you going to prove that?"

Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman looked completely unconvinced.

All the ingredients for this "Buddha Jumps Wall" had already been written down.

Xin Lin and that female Spirit Chef were the only two who had written out the full list of ingredients.

Fortunately, she had been prepared for this long ago.

Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman was secretly pleased.

When Xin Lin had memorized the entire recipe earlier, others thought it was just a fluke, but Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman didn’t think so.

She could basically conclude that Xin Lin was a genius in Spiritual Food.

She had already been absolutely sure of that the moment Xin Lin put down her bowl after only one sip of the soup. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Earlier, she had only made things difficult for Xin Lin to satisfy Zhu Qianjun and the others, but now, out of purely selfish motives, she was determined to get rid of Xin Lin.

The reason was simple: her own nephew would also be taking part in this special examination of the Taichang Holy Institute. If Xin Lin became a three-star Spirit Chef, her nephew wouldn’t stand a chance.

So she arranged for her own disciple—namely, the female Spirit Chef standing beside Xin Lin—to set a trap and squeeze Xin Lin out.

Once Xin Lin was branded with the crime of copying someone else’s answers during the examination, she could forget about surviving in the Fuzhou Spirit Chef World. Not only that, she would also lose the chance to ever sit for a Spirit Chef examination again.

On this point alone, it had to be said that Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman’s scheming was vicious.

"There’s still one ingredient missing from this list. I hadn’t finished writing down all the answers when you interrupted me."

Xin Lin pointed at that sheet of paper.

She still had the pen in her hand.

"Don’t be ridiculous. Everything is already listed there. Where would any extra ingredient come from?"

Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman had drunk "Buddha Jumps Wall" many times and had personally cooked it as well. Although the "Buddha Jumps Wall" used for the exam wasn’t made by her, she could tell what ingredients were in it just from the smell.

And this little brat who wasn’t even a Spirit Chef yet dared to say there was still one ingredient missing?

Could it be that she, a堂堂 Five-star Spirit Chef, would make a mistake?

"Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, just bring in the Spirit Chef who cooked this bowl of ’Buddha Jumps Wall’ and we’ll know."

Xin Lin’s expression was steady.

"Stop wasting everyone’s time. You’ve already been disqualified. Leave at once, or don’t blame me for being rude."

Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman said coldly, anger in her voice.

"Heh heh, hold on, hold on. This little girl is interesting—let her finish."

Just then, an old man walked in.

The old man was already quite advanced in years. His hair was grizzled, his back slightly hunched. He wasn’t tall and his frame was thin.

His bleary, drunken eyes were a bit unfocused, and a rich fragrance of wine drifted from him from time to time.

When they saw him, Pockmarked Face Vice Chairman and the Southern Spirit Chef, who had hardly spoken, both stood up in a hurry.

"Master Chen, what brings you here?"

Master Chen was one of the examiners for the Spirit Chef examination.

But he was naturally free-spirited; though he was called an examiner, he almost never actually attended the exams. Usually, the two Vice Chairmen from Wangjing Spirit Chefs handled the examinations.

Pockmarked Face female Spirit Chef had counted on him not showing up, which was why she dared to press Xin Lin so hard.

She hadn’t expected Master Chen to appear just when everything was about to go her way.

At the sight of him, Pockmarked Face female Spirit Chef couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.

Xin Lin was also a bit curious. She looked over this Spirit Chef of grandmaster rank—this was the legendary Seven-star Spirit Chef who surpassed the Six-star level?
