The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 601 - 598: The Secret Has Been Discovered?

The dagger is of excellent quality; a moment upon the wood, and instantly, several marks appeared on the surface.

This...

Both Master Chen and the County Magistrate wore puzzled expressions.

What’s so special about this?

But before Master Chen could ask, the deep cuts on the Phoebe Wood Sign, at least an inch deep, suddenly disappeared.

Just as if a pebble had been thrown into the calm surface of a lake, causing a series of ripples to spread out.

But when the pebble sank, the ripples vanished without a trace.

"Gone? How can they just disappear?"

Master Chen was shocked, touching the signboard in disbelief.

However, the signboard was smooth and still bore only the three characters, "Chu’s Restaurant."

"Master Jiu, is this sign really a treasure? I always said, how could a rundown Spiritual Food Restaurant with a few mediocre buns possibly compete with my Spiritual Delicacy Buns. It turns out it was all because of this sign. Fortunately, the sign is now ours."

Now Master Chen believed, as he inspected the sign over and over again, his face showing attachment.

Little did he know that Master Jiu scoffed at this.

"Is your head also made of wood? Do you think you can use this sign just because you have it? Unless it wishes, those characters will never disappear, unless you want De Yue Building to hang a signboard that reads ’Chu’s Restaurant.’"

"How can I make this sign my own?"

Master Chen asked with great admiration.

This Master Jiu was a valued patron who dined at De Yue Building a few days earlier.

At that time, Master Chen was at his wit’s end.

Ever since Chu’s Restaurant began selling buns, not only had the sales of buns at De Yue Building plummeted, leaving most of the Spiritual Delicacy Buns unsold, but even the business of Spiritual Delicacies was being taken over by Taoyao Pavilion.

With Master Ji at Taoyao Pavilion, it could not be shaken in the short term.

He initially wanted to take care of the local ruffians from Chu’s Restaurant, but he had to consider the Taichang Temple backing them.

Master Chen was caught between two fires, as one can imagine.

But as soon as Master Jiu visited, he told him that he had methods to help De Yue Building; the only condition was that Master Chen had to give him one hundred Intermediate Qi Stones.

Master Chen was initially unwilling.

Not until Master Jiu made his move and struck Master Ji with an incurable illness did Master Chen believe him, which led to later actions against Chu’s Restaurant.

With the current situation of the signboard, Master Chen was utterly impressed by Master Jiu.

"This signboard has spirit, and it recognizes its master. Unless the previous owner vanishes, it will not recognize a new master, and you will have a chance to tame it."

Master Jiu spoke deliberately and tapped the Phoebe Wood Sign with his finger.

"Its master is Ma Jingtian in prison, don’t worry, I’ll have someone deal with Ma Jingtian secretly."

Master Chen said dismissively.

A mere local ruffian does not deserve to own such spiritual objects.

Only in his hands can the signboard truly shine.

"Fool, when I say vanish, I don’t mean death, but a true erasure. This is a Spiritual Food signboard; the other party must be a Spiritual Delicacy Master. Those few in the prison are not Spiritual Delicacy Masters at all."

Master Jiu showed impatience.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was tracking the aura of the Fu Tian Pill and arrived here, and happened to be injured by the people from Taichang Temple, needing a large number of Qi Stones for recovery, why would he deal with such a fool?

"So you’re saying that the real owner of Chu’s Restaurant is not Ma Jingtian? Don’t worry, Master Jiu, I’ll have the County Magistrate investigate and confirm the true owner of the Spiritual Food Restaurant, then find a way to make him lose convincingly."

Master Chen was full of confidence, considering his skills in making Spiritual Food, few in the entire Purple Cloud City could match him.
