The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1285: Visiting Guests (2)

However, the craftsmanship is truly good.

Is the beef pot like tomato and potato?

Or is it clear soup with scalded beef?

Or perhaps a stew pot?

Food is worth looking forward to.

So, the process of waiting for food, no matter how tough, is incredibly beautiful.

Because… its worth it.

Jason adjusted his mood, his gaze directed towards the martial arts field.

At this moment, the martial arts field seemed slightly crowded, with a full 30 people practicing boxing here

after the martial arts competition on Martial Arts Street concluded, a large number of apprentices flocked to the Mu-style Martial Arts School, with Dou Bao selecting 20 of them through multiple screenings.

The rest?

Were rejected under various pretenses.

After all, those guys were clearly of impure motives, seeking to take advantage.

And even among the 20 accepted, there are inevitably such people.

They were just better at disguising themselves.

Dou Bao knew.

Jason also knew.

Dou Bao intended to maximize the tuition income while striving to maintain a balance.

Jason, however, was completely indifferent.

As long as they paid the fee, he would teach.

Of course, it was just the basic form; the private knowledge of Mu-style Tiger Fist such as Tiger Power would not be taught at all.

In Dou Baos words, even for indoor disciples, they need to be tested for three years, let alone these apprentices. Being able to teach some basic forms and a few moves of the Loose-hand Fighting Technique is already pretty good.

This is how other martial arts schools do it too.

Regarding this, Jason was not familiar, nor did he participate.

He left it entirely to Dou Bao.

He just needed to know that after leaving it to Dou Bao, he could not only ignore everything but also eat better and more abundantly.

Thinking of this, Jason walked down the steps, passing by the apprentices.

The apprentices, who were already practicing diligently, worked even harder.

Unlike the previous rumors about their master, which were all hearsay.

The martial arts competition on Martial Arts Street, that was witnessed with their own eyes.

They saw with their own eyes Li Zhao being beaten severely.

Such boxing skills, such martial arts, they were seeing for the first time.

Although the original masters of Martial Arts Street were all very strong and remarkable, none could explode someone like their own master did.

That shocking scene attracted those who yearned for it.

And also those who wanted to use it as a stepping stone.

Undoubtedly, the latter were more prevalent.

But that didnt hinder their diligent practice.

After all, only by gaining entry could they learn the secret teachings.

Everyone knew this fact.

Therefore, each of them was doing their utmost.

Jia Youcai was the same.

As the special one outside of the 20, Jia Youcai was looked upon differently by Dou Bao. Though old, and with many bad habits, he was a decent person.

Dou Bao intended to test Jia Youcai for a few more days before teaching him some Loose-hand deadly moves.

Jia Youcai didnt know about this.

Having gone through the events of these days, he only knew that he needed to learn martial arts, otherwise, he wouldnt have a foothold.

Fortunately, Li Deshang supported him well, not only paying the tuition for him, but also allowing him to work half a day, giving him an extra day off every month, and promising him to provide some Secret Medicine in the future.

At his age, without Secret Medicine, it would be impossible to fully develop muscle in his lifetime.

Not to mention other things.

Jia Youcai was extremely grateful.

Naturally, he worked even harder, not only practicing in the martial arts school but also at home, pondering in his mind how to confront an opponent when he had nothing else going on.

As if possessed.

Even at this moment, with Jason passing by his side, he was completely unaware, immersed in his practice.

But other apprentices were different.

When Jason walked past them, each did their utmost, grunting incessantly.

Jason listened, indifferent, and continued circling the martial arts field.

His gaze was looking ahead.

His thoughts wandered to who knows where.

[Reputation gained: 205/3000]

Has the reputation value plateaued?

From that night to this morning, it only increased by 1 point.

Indeed, no matter how explosive an event, as time passes it fades into memory.

Goldfish have a memory span of only seven seconds.

Humans?

Seven days.

Jason couldnt help but think of some of the sayings from his hometown, he didnt object to them in any way.

The traces of events exist.

But memory of them, especially food, can be altered.

Even misled.

Even if the true outcome eventually emerges, some people are unwilling to believe it.

People, always willing to believe what they want to believe.

Or perhaps…

Leaving a fake reality gives people hope to live on.

But, is such false hope truly hope?

Jason himself didnt know.

He only knew that his plan of bounty on myself had failed.

Apart from the mysterious assassin disguised as Zhao Laosi on that day, in the following days, he hadnt encountered any assassin or killer.

Indeed, because of what happened with Zhao Laosi, it scared off those assassins, those killers!

Zhao Laosis body was found in the small house he rented deep within the alley.

Like being bled dry, with not a trace of blood in his body, and his heart was missing too.

Plus, the sudden decay of the assassin disguised as Zhao Laosi.

The whole matter immediately turned bizarre.

And he was involved in it.

Whether as the Masked Man or as Mu Bai, he was present in this event.

A wise man follows the currents first.

Such bizarre events were naturally known by those practicing specialized traditional professions hidden in darkness within Mountain City.

No one is more cautious than these traditional professionals.

Moreover, each of these special traditional professionals retained the ancient tradition: preserving ones life is ever paramount.

No matter how high Hua Hong is, you need a life to spend it.

Not to mention whether theres a genuine promise or not.

Why trouble oneself?

Therefore, these people chose to abandon it.

Sigh.

Jason sighed in his heart.

But just a sigh it was.

He lamented not being able to eat more.

As for more thoughts?

There were none.

After all, Li Deshang had already written a letter to the Northern Li Family seeking one or two real Secret Medicines, and had sent people to Zhoufu to search for more Nourishing Essence Pills.

The former Jason held no hope for.

The latter?

Jason was full of anticipation.

For by himself, he had already found 15 Nourishing Essence Pills and 30 Small Nourishing Essence Pills at the seedy market in Mountain City. free𝑤ebnovel.com

With Li Deshangs involvement, there would undoubtedly be more.

Im likely to see a significant increase in my food intake again.

If there are enough, I can consider the upgrade of [Dragon. Battle Pattern. Plus. Griffin. Shadow Stealth Body Forging Technique].

I wonder what level the Transcendent level of [Dragon. Battle Pattern. Plus. Griffin. Shadow Stealth Body Forging Technique] will reach.

Thinking this, Jasons gaze turned towards the entrance of the martial arts school.

The gate of the martial arts school would be closed while the apprentices practiced boxing, but once they finished, and they practiced individual moves in the corners, the gate would be opened. By now, with boxing practice concluded, the gate was open.

Jason could easily see outside the gate.

An elderly man, dressed in an azure silk robe with slightly graying hair, was leading an attendant from one end of Martial Arts Street, heading towards the Mu-style Martial Arts School.

The destination of the two was clear, precisely the Mu-style Martial Arts School.

Under Jasons watchful eye, the two walked straight over.

The leading elder was very polite.

Although the gate of the martial arts school was open, he still paused outside, signaling for his attendant to step forward and knock on the open door.

Knock, knock.

The attendant gently rapped on the brass plate of the martial arts school door, bowed to Jason, and then stepped aside.

The elder then stepped forward, cupping his hands as he spoke.

"Is this Master Mu in person?

"Yes, may I ask?

Facing the elders etiquette, Jason immediately responded, imitating the mannerisms of the current realm by cupping his hands in return, he asked.

"This humble one is the proprietor of Red Fragrance Alley, Ive met Master Mu.

"A small gift, a token of no particular esteem.

Saying that, the elder took out a palm-sized small box from his pocket, smiling as he handed it to Jason.
