"Holy crap! That's awesome, look at their style."
Chen Hao immediately gave a thumbs up. He looked at the other person and then at himself, feeling uneasy even after killing someone. His perspective was too narrow.
My heart is still warm; I'm so kind.
"Heh, when you reach the multiverse level, you'll erase the very concept of life," the Ancient One said calmly.
The higher one's level of life, the less indifferent one becomes to life.
People can create life at will, and the reverence for life has long since vanished.
"By the way, why don't you stay for a meal? I'd like to ask you to teach Wanda magic; she needs a mentor."
Chen Hao smiled and invited Gu Yi to stay for dinner, saying that tonight would be a banquet to celebrate Gu Yi's becoming his apprentice.
"it is good!"
Gu Yi nodded slightly, which was taken as agreement.
As night slowly fell, the villa came alive with activity.
Chen Hao specially invited three master chefs from the top restaurants in Chinatown to cook the dishes; it had to be a formal affair.
For a traditional man like him, a formal apprenticeship banquet was not to be taken lightly; it consisted entirely of state banquet dishes, and he specially purchased all the ingredients he needed when he returned to China.
He only eats Western food occasionally; it's really not presentable, and he always eats the same few dishes.
"Old Liu, what's going on with this family? These ingredients are the most authentic and fresh domestic products. Even air freight can't keep up with them, right?"
In the villa's back garden, chefs were cooking, occasionally whispering among themselves, "This food is too luxurious!"
"Hehe, why do you care so much? It's their business if they have money. We're just doing things for money."
Old Liu shook his head, ignoring everything and asking no questions. He focused on cooking and doing his own thing, not worrying about anything outside his job duties.
"That's right. We just need to focus on cooking. Why do you care about other people's situation? When I was invited here, the boss just told me to do more and talk less, and not to ask questions I shouldn't ask."
Another chef, Lao Wang, chimed in, saying, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't, or you'll just annoy people."
"Alright, alright, you're right. This is no small sum of money. We'll do the job for the money."
The chef, who was at the level of a state banquet chef, was extremely efficient in preparing the dishes and did not dawdle. Soon, the aroma filled the courtyard.
The beautiful waitresses carefully carried plate after plate of delicious delicacies into the villa.
The mouthwatering aroma of the delicious food made the little foodies lose all interest in playing around.
"Oh my god, it smells so good! This is what delicious food should be like. I feel like I've been missing out on all this time."
Erica, the foodie, rested her hands on her chin, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
If there hadn't been guests present, she would have been much less polite.
Stuart wasn't much better; she tried her best not to glance at the delicious food.
Tornado haughtily claimed she didn't know them, and chatted casually with Kouichi in a very polite manner.
Wanda and Pietro arrived soon after. Chen Hao specifically told Wanda that he had something important to do that night and to close the shop early.
"Brother Chen Hao, is it someone's birthday today? Why did you hire a chef to come to our house to cook?"
Wanda asked in confusion as soon as she entered the room.
"Haha, I've found you a teacher today. Didn't you want to learn magic?"
"This is the Ancient One. From now on, you will learn magic from her. Today is your apprenticeship banquet," Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Huh? Really? I can really learn magic?"
Wanda exclaimed in surprise, then covered her cheeks, she was so excited. She had been thinking about it for a long time, and she was so envious of her sisters who all had their own superpowers.
"Of course it's true! Aren't you going to pay your respects to your master?"
Chen Hao winked at her, "Hurry up and become my disciple, silly girl."
Wanda was a clever girl; she understood immediately and bowed deeply to the Ancient One. Of course, she didn't know how to formally become an apprentice...
"Forget it, let's skip the apprenticeship."
The Ancient One smiled and shook her head. "I have no affinity with Wanda as her teacher, and I am not qualified to be her teacher."
"Wanda, you can just call me Teacher Gu Yi. Let's skip these formalities."
"what???"
Wanda looked at Chen Hao with a bewildered expression, seemingly at a loss.
"In that case, let's skip it. From now on, Wanda, you can learn magic from the Ancient One."
Seeing this, Chen Hao didn't press the matter, nor did he care about formalities.
"Oh, okay, greetings to Teacher Gu Yi."
Wanda, influenced by the character of the Eighth Brother in a martial arts TV series, bowed deeply.
"it is good!"
Gu Yi accepted the bow calmly and nodded, thus becoming Wanda's half-mentor from then on.
"Haha, then the ceremony is complete, let's begin."
"The chef tonight is of state banquet caliber. Gu Yi, you must savor the flavors of this mortal world."
"Being aloof and detached from worldly affairs is not good for cultivating the Tao. You should spend more time in the human world in the future."
Chen Hao said with a smile, while inviting her to take a seat.
"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study."
Gu Yi nodded in agreement. Making some changes wasn't necessarily a bad thing; she was tired of her monotonous life.
When Gu Yi gently picked up a piece of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, she felt her taste buds explode instantly, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"Such delicious food exists in the human world! It's incredibly tasty!"
Gu Yi didn't hold back her praise, mainly because the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish was just too delicious.
"Haha, there are countless delicacies. Perhaps you don't need to rush to find your path, but can savor them properly, so that your journey through life will not be in vain."
Chen Hao smiled knowingly, but the others couldn't understand what they were talking about and just enjoyed their food with a rather reserved air.
"Yes, you're absolutely right."
Gu Yi picked up another piece of Longjing shrimp, which was just as delicious, and she couldn't help but pick up another piece.
Seeing that even the ethereal Gu Yi was so attracted by the food, Chen Hao had to admit the charm of traditional cuisine!
Beijing roast duck, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Kung Pao chicken, soft-shelled eel and other delicious dishes.
The twelve dishes are all classics, and they have only become more refined with time.
Both Gu Yi and Tornado Wanda ate with beaming smiles and praised the food highly.
Foreigners are so pitiful; what can they possibly eat?
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone reluctantly put down their bowls and plates, and lay down on the sofa with satisfied smiles.
"Hiccup... This is life! Our life as a vagrant was like hell."
Pietro burped, squinted his eyes, and muttered to himself with a look of pure enjoyment. He never dared to dream of such a life.
"Yes, I used to think that having enough to eat was a very luxurious thing."
Wanda was equally filled with emotion, lamenting how cruel fate could be.
There is an old saying in the East: "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body, leave him destitute, and thwart his plans."
The Ancient One smiled and spoke to Wanda, but Wanda tilted her head, indicating she didn't understand.
"What does Gu Yi mean?"
"It means that if fate wants you to achieve something great, you must first go through hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine before you can have the ability to do great things."
"Oh, I see."
Wanda nodded as if she understood, though not quite. She roughly grasped the gist of it.
At this moment, Tornado served tea. Their family had now developed the habit of drinking tea and chatting after meals. As everyone enjoyed the tea and conversation, Gu Yi felt how warm and cozy ordinary life could be.
In Kamar-Taj, she is the supreme sorceress.
Even the king, Mordo and others respected her greatly, unlike now when they were chatting so freely.
She had never felt so relaxed, comfortable, or even warm in Kamar-Taj.
A long-lost feeling welled up in her heart. She didn't know when she had felt so warm, perhaps when she was still a mortal?
The Ancient One's frozen heart began to thaw slightly, causing her to waver in her belief in death, and she even began to feel reluctant to leave.
Feeling the most basic emotions of ordinary people, she even had the urge to transform into an ordinary person and walk in the world.
Chen Hao smiled faintly. How could a god high above know the simplest satisfaction of mortals?
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yi slowly got up.
"Wanda, let's go to the yard. I'll teach you the most basic introductory spells."
"Okay! Hehe!"
