"It's because it's too clear that you can't see it."

Weiss and his men were stunned.

"So it was because it was too clear that we couldn't see it?"

"What an amazing soup!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, finding it quite amazing.

I never imagined that a thick soup could be made like this.

Needless to say, the taste must be absolutely delicious!

Without a doubt, the group became expectant, and at the same time, they were eager to drink the soup as soon as possible.

Especially because the longer it is cooked.

The aroma wafting from the pot grew increasingly rich.

This made Aru and the other big foodies keep swallowing their saliva.

Another minute passed, and Setsuna spoke:

"Alright, you can go back and sit down. The soup is ready."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they exclaimed in unison, "Great!"

Then he quickly returned to the table, sat down, and waited.

About twenty seconds later, Jie Nai finally ladled out the soup and placed it on the table, giving each person a large bowl.

"Alright, everyone, let's eat," Setsuno said from the side.

The already impatient crowd nodded and were about to pick up their spoons to start drinking.

But a voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, this soup smells so good. I wonder if I could have a bowl too?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and instinctively looked toward the door.

But then they saw a man of about fifty years old with yellow hair, eyebrows and beard, wearing floral shorts and a short-sleeved casual outfit, exuding an air of righteousness walk in.

When this person came in, Coco, Sani, and Jie Nai were all shocked.

"Old man!"

"Yi Long!"

That's right, this man is none other than IGO President Yi Long.

To everyone's surprise, Aru stood up, walked up to Ichiryu with a smile, and said, "Grandpa, I thought you weren't coming. You almost missed Granny Setsuna's soup."

Yi Long smiled and said, "I had some things to take care of, so I'm late."

Then he looked at Setsunori and smiled:

"Setsunori, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Setsuna smiled as well, "Thanks to you, I'm fine."

Yi Long then laughed and said, "Then, could you also serve me a bowl of thick soup?"

"I haven't tasted your cooking in a while."

"You wait here." Setsuna immediately turned around and went to serve it.

They were already very good friends.

It was only a little while since they last met that Yi Long's sudden visit surprised and delighted Setsuna.

She naturally wouldn't refuse Yi Long's request for a bowl of soup.

Even if Setsuna were asked to be Ichiryu's chef, Setsuna wouldn't refuse.

After Jie Nai turned to serve the soup, Yi Long walked to the dining table, found a seat, and said with a smile to Su Ming and the others, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry for the sudden arrival. Please forgive me if it has disturbed you!"

No one seemed to notice, and they all nodded slightly.

After all, Yi Long is very polite, so no one will say anything.

At this moment, Nai placed the soup she had just served in front of Yilong and asked curiously, "Why do you have time to come here? Usually, you never come unless I invite you?

Before Yi Long could answer, Aru answered first:

"That's right, Granny Setsuna."

“The old man called me yesterday and said he wanted to get together with me, Coco, and Sani. It just so happens that we made an appointment with you today, so I asked him to come here today to enjoy the soup and have a get-together.”

In fact, under normal circumstances, Yi Long would not come.

He was just trying to get close to Su Ming and the others.

That's why I called Aru to say we should get together.

And Aru and the others have always been with Su Ming.

By doing this, he can more easily get close to Su Ming and the others.

"I see." Setsuna looked enlightened, but looked at Ichiryu with some dissatisfaction and said, "Your brats come whenever you ask them to, but you often refuse me. It seems that I am not as important to you as your brats."

"The feelings have faded..."

Yi Long laughed and offered no explanation.

But Setsuna didn't say anything more; she was just saying it casually.

Actually, I didn't really care.

"Alright, the soup is still hot. It will taste even better if you drink it now," Grandma Setsuna reminded her.

Only then did everyone's attention return to the soup.

Then, each of them took a spoonful, smelled it, and instantly became intoxicated with the aroma. They couldn't resist and started shoveling it into their mouths.

The moment the rich soup enters your mouth, it feels as if you taste the essence of hundreds of ingredients.

These flavors are wonderful, transporting you to a magical world.

This wondrous world reflects the various ingredients that we taste.

This left them speechless.

After emerging from the wondrous world, they all shared their feelings:

"It's delicious, it's so delicious!"

"This soup is the best I've ever had!"

"There is such a delicious soup in the world!"

Everyone shared their feelings, but Xiaosong remained in a daze.

Perhaps it's because he's a chef that he has such a keen sensitivity to ingredients.

We can stay in that wonderful world for a longer time.

However, it didn't take long for him to recover.

But unlike the others who had just spoken their feelings so readily, they did not.

Instead, he remained somewhat dazed, staring blankly at the soup in the bowl.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Aru couldn't help but ask:

"Xiaosong, what's wrong? Isn't the soup good?"

Xiao Song shook his head slightly and said:

"The soup was delicious, but I always felt like something was missing."

“Something’s missing.” Aru scratched his head.

Setsuno, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised.

She hadn't expected Komatsu to be so perceptive.

She quickly spoke up:

"That's right, this soup is missing something; it's not complete."

Chapter Thirty-Two: Testing the Waters! (Seeking Flowers)

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Setsuno.

Setsuna continued:

"This soup is actually made by imitating the century-old soup."

"But it still lacks the flavor of a real century's soup."

"I've been simmering it for years, but I still haven't been able to make the real broth of the century."

"I always felt that something was missing."

At this point, she turned to look at Xiaosong, "You were able to notice that this soup wasn't perfect without something, so it seems you have a lot of potential in cooking."

"Perhaps you will become a top chef in the future. Also, you can try to make the century soup, and you might succeed."

Komatsu was a little flattered by the praise, which came from a national treasure-level chef!

However, he dared not boast that he could make the Century Soup, and humbly said, "Grandma Jie is too kind to me. Even you cannot make the Century Soup, how could I possibly make it?"

Setsuna smiled:

"That's not necessarily true. You can tell from the first taste that something is missing from this soup."

"This proves you have a high sensitivity to this soup and are better suited to making it than I am."

Xiaosong was a little confused. "Can I really make it?"

"But I don't understand anything..."

Setsuna smiled again, "Perhaps you lack the medium for brewing right now."

"But if one could taste the real broth of the century, perhaps one would gain more inspiration for its preparation."

"Maybe it can make up for the flaw in my incomplete soup."

But this also stumped Xiaosong:

"You get to drink the real century's soup, but it's so rare that you can't possibly get your hands on it, right?"

"Indeed, the reason why it is called the soup of the century is because only a small amount is produced once a century, and ordinary people rarely get to drink it."

Setsuno paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, and said leisurely:

"However, tomorrow happens to be the start of another century, the time when the century soup is born."

"If you can, you should try to get it."

"If you can get it, it will be of great help in making the soup of the century."

"If you intend to fight for it, then I'm entrusting it to you."

"Tomorrow... is the day the century's rich soup is born?!" Komatsu was excited, but also felt it was difficult. He said listlessly, "But there must be many strong people competing for it. Can I really snatch that soup from so many competitors?"

Clearly, he lacked confidence in himself.

He was just an ordinary person; he couldn't possibly compete with those who possessed martial prowess.

Su Ming immediately said, "I can help you."

He would naturally help in order to complete the mission.

“That’s right,” Aru also said.

"Everyone will help you, so don't worry."

Xiaosong was a little excited and looked at everyone, who all nodded in agreement.

Putting aside the fact that he's friends with Komatsu and would help him out.

Ever since they drank Setsuna's soup, they have been very interested in and longed for the real century's thick soup, and they also want to drink it.
