I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1970 The Chief Steward

In fact, there was no reason. When the guard said "The chief steward wants to see you", Liu Jun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand. A strange feeling quietly surged into his heart, causing him to frown slightly. Although he couldn't tell whether this feeling was good or bad, he couldn't help but want to refuse.

"Well, this, you should go." Upon hearing this, the guard was silent for a while, and a hint of doubt and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He obviously didn't expect Liu Jun to ask this question. After all, in his past experience, once the steward ordered someone to come, the other party would go happily and would fly to the steward immediately to show respect. But this guy was the first one to raise an objection, which made him a little at a loss for a moment.

Seeing this, Liu Jun felt unwilling and helpless, but he also understood where he was and could not act rashly.

Although he was stubborn, he was well aware of the truth that "a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake", and he was unwilling to make enemies for no reason in this unfamiliar place.

"Okay, let's go," Liu Jun said as he stood up.

"Please follow me." The guard made a gesture of invitation and began to lead the way.

His steps were steady, and each step made a crisp sound on the stone slabs.

The two of them walked out of the training ground, one in front of the other, and walked along the winding corridor.

On both sides of the corridor are walls carved with intricate totems, each of which seems to tell an ancient and mysterious story. The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which comes from the flowers and plants on both sides, adding a bit of vitality to the place.

After walking for half an hour, Liu Jun was almost vomiting from the endless wandering, and the guard finally stopped at the door of a magnificent palace.

The palace stands tall and majestic, with golden glazed tiles shining in the sun, as if it were made of gold, showing endless luxury and nobility. In front of the palace gate are two lifelike beasts, with their eyes wide open, as if they are examining everyone who comes here.

There are many palaces like this in the entire Palace of the God King, so this palace is not very conspicuous, and if you are not from the Palace of the God King, you can't find it at all.

"Butler, Grand Elder Liu Jun is here to invite you in." The guard stood upright at the palace gate, his hands folded in front of his abdomen, his expression respectful and solemn, and spoke to the palace.

"Please come in, Grand Elder Liu Jun." A slightly old but powerful voice came from inside the palace, with unquestionable majesty and kindness.

"Please come in." Upon hearing this, the guard quickly made a more respectful gesture of invitation, leaning forward slightly, his eyes full of respect. His movements were smooth and natural, and it was obvious that he was accustomed to such etiquette.

Liu Jun nodded and slowly walked into this ancient and magnificent palace.

The interior decoration of this palace is luxurious yet elegant, and every detail reveals the craftsman's exquisite skills and ultimate pursuit of beauty. Under the magnificent dome, various palace lanterns are hung, illuminating the entire palace like daylight. The scrolls hanging on the wall are all priceless works of art, depicting the deeds of the Heavenly Fire God King, making people feel as if they are in the long river of history.

In the center of the palace, there was a huge round table with exquisite tea sets and fruits on it, which were obviously prepared for Liu Jun. There were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants around, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Liu Jun glanced around gently, and a trace of indescribable emotion flashed across his eyes unconsciously. He thought to himself that if he could rob the entire God King Palace, he would definitely become rich overnight.

"Why, what items have you taken a fancy to? As long as you like it, just take it." The old yet majestic voice once again sounded slowly in the empty palace.

Liu Jun hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in extremely gorgeous clothes and with a very old face, walking towards him unsteadily with an exquisitely carved cane.

"Hello, Steward." Liu Jun bowed slightly, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, showing the proper respect and composure just right.

"Well, okay, then what do you like? You can choose carefully." The steward continued to speak kindly with a smile on his face.

"To be honest, with my personality, I naturally like everything here. But although I have a big appetite, I am very timid. I know very well how capable I am." Liu Jun replied in an orderly manner.

"Haha, young man, you are really interesting! If you really like it, it would be no problem for me to give you this magnificent palace." The steward continued while laughing heartily.

"No, no, I dare not. I can't accept rewards without doing anything!" Liu Jun waved his hands hurriedly, his expression full of refusal.

"You have made a contribution, absolutely a contribution! You have caused great trouble to Qianyu City and made that eight-winged birdman furious. In my opinion, this is a great contribution!" The steward still said with a smile, and the smile on his face was particularly bright.

But Liu Jun couldn't laugh at this moment. When he was in Qianyu City, he had always carefully worn the Apocalypse mask and hid his true identity tightly. He had never exposed his true identity at all. How did the other party know all this?

"Don't be so surprised. Although I usually stay at home, no matter how big or small the events happening near the Divine King City can be hidden from me." The steward looked at Liu Jun's face full of surprise and explained patiently.

Liu Jun did not say anything, but just stared at the steward quietly, waiting for the next words. "Come on, don't stand all the time, sit down first, let's eat and talk, you didn't have breakfast this morning!" The steward warmly invited Liu Jun to sit down at the exquisite round table.

Liu Jun frowned slightly and slowly sat down at the seat beside the round table, seeming to be a little confused.

He had just sat down and hadn't had time to think about it when dozens of servants in neat clothes came over lightly, holding a variety of exquisite dishes in their hands, presenting them one by one in front of him like works of art on an assembly line.

What was striking was that one of the servants was actually holding a bowl of rice steadily in his hand. The rice grains were distinct, crystal clear, and exuded an attractive luster.

Liu Jun's eyes were instantly attracted by the bowl of rice, and he couldn't help but feel surprised. This is rice! Real white rice, each grain is like a carefully carved treasure, shining with an attractive light. This is something he has never seen in the God Realm for such a long time.

Although the God Realm was full of delicious food, Liu Jun felt a little disappointed with the rice. The rice in the God Realm was mostly slightly yellowish brown rice with a rough texture, which was far inferior to the machine-polished white rice in the human world.

While Liu Jun was immersed in his nostalgia and emotion for rice, the carefully prepared dishes were placed in front of him one by one. The steamed fish was extremely delicious, with tender and smooth meat; the braised pork with sauce was bright red in color, fat but not greasy; the pan-fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside; the roasted goose was golden and attractive, with a fragrant aroma. There were also the shredded pork with fish flavor, sweet and sour spare ribs, crispy chicken, and the sliced ​​meat with sauce. Each dish was like a feast carefully prepared for him, making him dazzled and salivating.

What was even more surprising was that these dishes were all ones that Liu Jun had eaten many times before in the human world, and several of them were his favorites.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Liu Jun's mood became complicated. He stared at each exquisite dish on the table, and his heart was filled with indescribable emotions. The colors of those dishes were perfectly matched and the aroma was fragrant.

He didn't even need to taste it, just by looking at the appearance he knew the chef was the one who cooked it. The delicate knife skills, the clever plating, and the indescribable aroma all showed the chef's superb skills.

Moreover, he was sure that this was a chef from the human world, because it was impossible for a chef from the divine world to make such a dish.

After all, the seasonings of these two worlds are different, and that unique flavor of human life cannot be replicated in the divine world.

"Eat, many of these are your favorites." The steward spoke again, with a hint of gentleness and expectation in his voice.

"If you don't satisfy my curiosity, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it." Liu Jun frowned and stared at the steward, hoping to find the answer from the other's eyes.

"Eat first, and talk while you eat." The steward smiled and responded. Then he picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of fish, and motioned Liu Jun to start eating.

Seeing this, Liu Jun stopped being polite and directly picked up his chopsticks to eat. Every bite made him feel as if he was back in the human world, and the familiar taste made him feel warm. After being in the God Realm for so long, this was the first time he had eaten such familiar food, and the intimacy almost made him cry.

"I brought all the seasonings for these dishes from the human world." The steward said slowly, "I am also a human. I miss the taste of my hometown in the God Realm, so I specially invited the top chefs from the human world. It's just right that I can make a table for you as well."

"You, you actually have a two-way passage from the human world to the divine world?" When Liu Jun heard this, he suddenly stopped eating with his chopsticks, his face full of shock, his eyes wide open as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.

"Of course there was, but it's gone now. It was completely closed some time ago due to some special circumstances." The steward replied slowly, with a helpless look on his face.

"Then why did you ask me to come here? It can't be that you just want to treat me to a feast from the human world, right?" Liu Jun frowned and asked in confusion, the doubts in his heart growing stronger.

"Does the master's wife need a reason to invite you to dinner?" The steward's words were like a thunderclap, which shocked Liu Jun and made him at a loss for words.

Liu Jun was completely stunned, and the food in his chopsticks fell onto the table with a slight sound due to the huge shock.

"Which master's?" Liu Jun's brain short-circuited for a moment and he asked subconsciously.

The chief steward glared at Liu Jun fiercely and said with some dissatisfaction: "How many masters do you have? The most unreliable one!"

At this moment, Liu Jun fell silent immediately, recalling several experiences. Qingfengzi, this old man, is not handsome, but he has a lot of romantic debts. Even the chief steward of the Palace of the Gods is his lover. This is really unexpected.

Moreover, he felt deeply in his heart that the old man Qingfengzi was becoming more and more mysterious and extraordinary.

He had clearly heard from Chen Shanhe that this chief steward of the God King Palace was able to support the entire vast and boundless Skyfire Divine Realm by himself after the mysterious disappearance of the Skyfire Divine King. This was not achieved simply by relying on extraordinary wisdom, but by relying on his own powerful and shocking strength to completely suppress the entire Divine Realm.

This is enough to fully reflect the unfathomable and elusive nature of this old lady. How could such a powerful person be interested in an ordinary, inconspicuous old man? Therefore, his master Qingfengzi could not be an ordinary person, but must be a famous and respected person in the God Realm.

He even had some doubts just now whether this old fellow Qingfengzi was the legendary God of Skyfire, but he immediately rejected this absurd idea.

He had seen a portrait of the God of Sky Fire at the Jinliufu Cash Box before. The God of Sky Fire in the portrait was extraordinarily handsome and majestic, while his master Qingfengzi looked so wretched that hanging the portrait on the door would probably ward off evil spirits.
