Part 2
But this was Old Master Tang. Zong Ling lowered his eyes and didn’t show it, stepping forward to greet respectfully. “Old Mr. Tang, sorry for visiting presumptuously. Did we disturb you?”
Mu Jiayi didn’t have enough status, so he didn’t rashly speak, fearing to annoy this eccentric Old Master Tang instead.
Old Master Tang only nodded coldly, directing the butler to take people to roast slowly, especially that moo-moo leg, which must be cut with flower patterns so the taste would be better.
If only there was honey. Unfortunately, it only exists in Mr. Zong’s livestream.
Old Master Tang wiped his hands clean and took the two to the small garden next door.
Old Master Tang sat in the main seat, looking at Mu Jiayi following behind Zong Ling, pretending not to know. He waited for Mu Jiayi to step forward and introduce himself before nodding indifferently.
S-rank Healer. Although rare, in the eyes of the head of one of the three major families on the First Star, it really wasn’t impressive enough.
Old Master Tang originally thought Zong Ling came this time for Marshal Zong. As a result, after listening, it turned out he wanted his fiancé Mu Jiayi to enter the Federal Research Institute.
Old Master Tang laughed out of anger but didn’t point it out. He directly issued an eviction order. “I, this old man, have retired for a long time and don’t manage this matter. Besides, isn’t your fiancé an S-rank Healer? If not going to the military, what is he going to the research institute for? Or else, if capable, just go take the exam directly.”
Since they came running here, obviously he didn’t pass the exam. Sending such incompetence to him… apart from Marshal Zong, this generation of the Zong family really didn’t have anyone capable.
This Zong family kid had been here for so long and hadn’t even asked about his youngest uncle’s situation, which really made Old Master Tang look down on him even more.
At this time, the delivery robot arrived. Old Master Tang’s eyes instantly lit up, and he went directly back to the big garden in front.
Zong Ling looked awkward. Behind him, Mu Jiayi clenched his fists, his face flushed. He thought Old Master Tang was hard to get along with, but he didn’t expect him to be so disrespectful.
It was just a matter of a sentence. Not to mention just a position in the research institute, even something better, Old Master Tang could handle it.
It was nothing more than unwillingness.
Looking at Zong Ling, Mu Jiayi became more and more unreconciled. Why was it him? If there hadn’t been a mistake back then, it should clearly have been that person.
If he became that person’s fiancé, who in the entire First Star would dare not give him face?
Zong Ling was also extremely embarrassed. Just as he wanted to take Mu Jiayi away, suddenly, in front, unbeknownst to them, Old Master Tang directed the butler to sprinkle something on the roasted meat.
A strange fragrance hit them. Mixed with the originally unpleasant smell of moo-moo meat, it actually merged perfectly, alleviating the uncomfortable smell. Combined, it unexpectedly made one salivate, delicious to the extreme.
Zong Ling swallowed. Beside him, Mu Jiayi also looked over strangely.
They only saw Old Master Tang change his previous coldness towards them. His face wrinkled with laughter. He wiped his hands clean, took the cutlery handed by the butler, forked a piece of roasted meat, took a deep breath, and beamed with joy. “Right, right, right, this is the taste! Although only a few percent similar, in the entire interstellar, besides Mr. Zong, only I, this old man, can eat it! Hahaha, Old Man Gu is probably crying and fainting by now, right?”
Truly speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Following a thunderous roar from afar: “Tang dog!! Return my cumin seeds!”
Old Master Tang cried out inwardly not good. He stuffed the remaining roasted meat into his mouth in one bite, quickly grabbed the small half-box of only remaining cumin powder into his bosom, and ran. “Just say I’m not here!”
Then he trotted all the way, disappearing faster than anyone.
This scene not only dumbfounded the butler but also dumbfounded Zong Ling and Mu Jiayi. Did their eyes dazzle? Was the one who whooshed out just now really the head of the Tang family?
As a result, this was just the beginning. Whoosh, the elusive Director Gu of the Ancient Research Institute also whooshed out before their eyes.
The butler was extremely embarrassed and hurried to personally see Zong Ling and Mu Jiayi out.
Mu Jiayi stood at the gate of the Tang family manor. He thought of the scene just now and that domineering strange fragrance, suddenly thinking of how to win over Old Master Tang’s heart.
He didn’t expect Old Master Tang to be a foodie. And who was the Mr. Zong in his mouth?
Mu Jiayi went back to check, only to realize that while he was obsessed with the position in the Federal Research Institute during this time, he didn’t know such a mysterious Mr. Zong had popped up on Star Stream.
The more Mu Jiayi watched the livestream replay, the heavier his heart became. A new anchor in the food section, reaching a million fans in a short time.
Thinking that someone might be more eye-catching than him, more popular, and even surpass his limelight, Mu Jiayi’s face looked ugly and heavy.
He absolutely would not allow anyone to be more eye-catching than him. He was the most perfect and best existence.
If there were others, then eliminate them.
If they didn’t exist, naturally they wouldn’t steal his limelight.
Wasn’t Ning Yunyi an example? He prepared carefully for so many years, waiting to shine brilliantly with the first-place result.
The result? He became second, and even in appearance, he was inferior to a piece of trash born without spiritual power.
How could he tolerate this?
That night, a newly registered anchor appeared in the [Star Stream] [Lifestyle Section]. It was just that when curious people clicked in and saw the other person’s face, their eyes widened in disbelief.
When a small vibration occurred on the Star Network, Ning Yunyi was meditating in the study. It wasn’t until before resting that he discovered he had received many messages at night.
He clicked on his wristband, and after reading, found they were all talking about the same thing.
[An Dong: Mr. Zong!! A new anchor has moved into the Star Stream Lifestyle Section. Letting you know in advance, I don’t know if you know this person. It’s Mu Jiayi from the Mu family on the First Star. He himself isn’t very noticeable in the Mu family, but his fiancé is the next heir of the Zong family, one of the three major families, the Zong family that produced an Interstellar Marshal!]
[An Dong: [Link]]
[City Lord Bai: Brother, there is new news from the First Star regarding Mu Jiayi.]
[City Lord Bai: Mu Jiayi went to the Tang family manor with Zong Ling today to meet Old Family Head Tang. Not long after leaving, he registered on Star Stream and settled in at night, and even made it to the Star Network hot list.]
[City Lord Bai: Before Mu Jiayi and Zong Ling left, the Director of the Ancient Research Institute went to find Old Family Head Tang angrily. The two should have just happened to cross paths with Director Gu.]
After reading, Ning Yunyi narrowed his eyes. Why did Mu Jiayi suddenly become a new anchor on Star Stream?
He clicked on the link sent by An Dong. Sure enough, the Star Network was overwhelmingly discussing this matter.
It was even titled as the fiancé of the Zong family’s future heir, which attracted more traffic.
The top three on the homepage were impressively all related to Mu Jiayi.
#Shock! The Zong family’s future heir’s fiancé registers on Star Stream (Hot)#
#Mu Jiayi’s [Star Stream] account breaks 100,000 fans in one hour, shocking old fans! (Fire)#
#Mu Jiayi sweetly spreads dog food with the Zong family’s future heir for thirty seconds (Fire)#
Ning Yunyi didn’t need to click in to guess what was going on. It was nothing more than overwhelming propaganda about Mu Jiayi’s identity and ability.
Presumably, mentioning his status as a rare S-rank Healer was inevitable.
Before Mu Jiayi got engaged to Zong Ling, the Star citizens weren’t familiar with him. He became known to the public because of the sudden announcement of this marriage alliance with Zong Ling.
Especially with Mu Jiayi’s overwhelming propaganda about being a naturally strong spiritual power user, S-rank healing power, unlimited future, etc.
Zong Ling’s popularity was high because the Zong family was one of the three major aristocratic families on the First Star. The Star citizens were interested in that mysterious Zong family head, but unfortunately, the other party was too low-key.
At this time, a future heir popped up, plus with outstanding looks and youth, and being an excellent student of the Federal Military Academy on the First Star, naturally, he became popular for a while.
But not long after, it was discovered that this future heir was actually engaged, and it was a strong alliance.
Part 3
However, the two kept a lower profile in the past two years. Once the heat dropped, the scene of showing affection back then was forgotten.
Ning Yunyi looked at this hot topic clearly emphasizing the Zong family’s future heir. It seemed something happened today that made Mu Jiayi anxious.
What stimulation was this? Feeling someone stole the attention?
Ning Yunyi opened the [Star Stream] backend to find private messages and contacted Luke.
[No.1 Knife of the Sect: Director Gu had a dispute with Old Tang?]
Luke should also be watching the Star Network. He replied in seconds. Because of what his teacher did today, he couldn’t help chattering and said it all.
[Luke: Mr. Knife, you don’t know how Old Tang tricked Teacher. Teacher was crazy with anger. Old Tang used a box of ancient Blue Star soil to exchange for Teacher’s cumin seeds, exactly the cumin seeds for the Cumin Lamb dish you made, Mr. Knife. Teacher has been in retreat researching tomato seedlings these past few days and didn’t know about the newly released flavor. Just like that, he gave away the cumin seeds. After knowing, he went to the Tang family to kill.]
After reading, Ning Yunyi confirmed his guess. Mu Jiayi really couldn’t stand others receiving more attention than him as always.
Mu Jiayi and Zong Ling went to the Tang family definitely with a purpose, only to be rejected. Coincidentally, at this time, Old Tang used cumin seeds to make gourmet food, and only then did Mu Jiayi know a showy anchor had appeared recently.
Mu Jiayi probably couldn’t sit still about someone stealing the limelight, and incidentally wanted to prove he was better than the gourmet praised by Old Tang, and subsequently wanted to gain Old Tang’s favor.
[No.1 Knife of the Sect: Didn’t Mu Jiayi also go to find Old Tang today and run into your teacher?]
[Luke: They did run into each other. Teacher snatched back half of the cumin seeds and listened to Old Tang’s complaints all afternoon. Wait, this Mu Jiayi wouldn’t have come to Star Stream on purpose after hearing Old Tang praise Mr. Knife, right?]
Luke just watched the fun at first, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
[No.1 Knife of the Sect: How so?]
The other side seemed to hesitate, but thinking of something, still reminded: [This Mu Jiayi isn’t as he appears on the surface. It’s heard that the reason behind the sudden engagement between the Mu family and the Zong family back then wasn’t very honorable. He is somewhat eager for quick success and instant benefits. I can’t say much about anything else, but his sudden entry into Star Stream, I’m afraid he will target Mr. Knife. You be careful.]
Ning Yunyi thanked him. It was the same as he guessed.
However, he really wasn’t afraid of what Mu Jiayi would do. On the contrary, the more Mu Jiayi showed his face, the more he would be exposed.
After Ning Yunyi replied to everyone one by one, he rested.
The next day was still mainly light, but the menu changed.
Before Ning Yunyi started the livestream, he glanced at the Star Network. In less than a day, Mu Jiayi’s fans reached a million, about the same as Ning Yunyi.
However, most of those following Mu Jiayi were more because of that mysterious Zong family head.
When Mu Jiayi registered, he only briefly livestreamed for two minutes. Facing the barrage almost entirely asking about the Zong family head, he good-temperedly chose one question to answer.
[Has Mu Mu met the Zong family head? Is he really as handsome as the rumors say?]
Mu Jiayi smiled very gently at the camera at that time: “Naturally, I have met him. He is indeed as the rumors say.”
It drew a burst of cheers, mostly envying Mu Jiayi for being able to see the Zong family head at any time in the future. This was too happy.
What Ning Yunyi saw was the replay. One second before Mu Jiayi ended the livestream, an arm reached over to embrace him, asking gently, “Finished broadcasting?”
The livestream ended immediately afterwards, but it attracted a wave of couple fans wanting more, wanting to see more dog food scattered.
Ning Yunyi picked out all videos related to Mu Jiayi and watched them. After finishing, it was about time to start the livestream. He was going to make three dishes and one soup today.
Steamed Spare Ribs with Garlic, Stir-fried Shrimp with Three Vegetables, Stir-fried Pork Slices with Carrots, plus a Loofah Tofu Egg Soup.
Although Mu Jiayi was a new resident, he was in the [Lifestyle Section], and Ning Yunyi was in the Food Section. He looked at the number of people online; it wasn’t less than yesterday.
When Ning Yunyi started making the first dish, Stir-fried Pork Slices with Carrots, just as the meat slices slid into the wok, a large number of people suddenly flooded into the livestream room to post barrage.
[Ahhh Mu Jiayi just started livestreaming. Heavens, Eldest Young Master Zong actually appeared on camera this time. This is the first time he formally appeared in a livestream lens. Really handsome!]
[Yes yes, top aristocratic family + young and powerful + devoted only to one, who is sweetened to death?]
[Heard Mu Jiayi is also an S-rank Healer. Is he the youngest healer of this level to appear so far?]
Wave after wave of barrage screams dumbfounded the crowd in the livestream room who were fully focused waiting to lick the screen for food: ?? No, are you sick? Amway your couple to the Lifestyle Section. This is the damn Food Section!
What does their handsomeness have to do with us? We just crave a bite to eat!
After a wave of barrage passed, looking at the screen again, the crowd was dumbfounded. The anchor had already started to dish up.
Just, just dished up? Instantly, the foodie friends in the livestream room were angry.
[Seen buying water army, never seen running to someone else’s side to pull fans. Isn’t that Mu what’s-his-name the fiancé of a top aristocratic family? Does he lack this traffic?]
[Exactly, don’t delay us if you don’t love watching food.]
Is it easy for us to crave a bite?
The second batch of water army flooding over was confused. Dumbfounded by the scolding. Wait, we are indeed here to pull traffic, but damn we haven’t opened our mouths yet. It was the previous batch!
You scolded the wrong people!
Ning Yunyi wasn’t affected at all. Except for the Steamed Spare Ribs with Garlic needing some time, the rest were simple.
This meal, with a mix of meat and vegetables and being light, still made the foodies in the livestream room who hadn’t tasted a bite wipe their drool, rubbing their fists waiting to start snatching.
Although the taste was a bit lighter, damn it, they could still smell it and eat nutrient solution pretending to eat the anchor’s gourmet food.
After Ning Yunyi finished uploading the flavors separately, just as he was about to exit, suddenly the screen flashed, and immediately a dialog box popped up.
[[Lifestyle Section] Million Anchor [Mu Follows Zong Heart] requests to connect with Anchor [No.1 Knife of the Sect]]
[Please choose: Accept/Reject]
The other party chose to display this pop-up to the audience of all livestream rooms, so everyone in Ning Yunyi’s livestream room saw it.
Those who watched the fun yesterday and recognized this ID laughed out of anger.
[Anchor, this is that legendary S-rank Healer about to marry into a top aristocratic family, oh]
[Isn’t that right? The couple is so loving, they’ve loved from the Lifestyle Section to the Food Section]
[Do they want the anchor to dazzlingly shove food into their mouths?]
The foodie friends in the livestream room who were blocked by the barrage just now felt angry. Seeing the main owner coming over now, they utilized their sarcasm to the fullest.
Ning Yunyi initially thought this ID looked familiar. Seeing the barrage, he knew it was Mu Jiayi’s account on [Star Stream].
But he seemed to have seen this ID somewhere else, but couldn’t remember for a moment.
The replays he saw on the Star Network all directly carried Mu Jiayi’s name, confirming he was seeing this ID for the first time just now.
Ning Yunyi didn’t expect Mu Jiayi to find him so quickly. After thinking, he directly clicked [Accept].
The other party deliberately displayed this pop-up to everyone, just intentionally.
If he refused, it would seem like he was afraid of the other party.
Ning Yunyi himself didn’t want to refuse either.
To know what secret Mu Jiayi had, besides investigating, there was another point, which was face-to-face. He would always accidentally expose something.
Ning Yunyi clicked accept. Soon the livestream screen split in two, half displaying Mu Jiayi’s livestream room.
Active connection was something [Star Stream] had earlier, but it was all mutual challenges and competitions. The losing side had to accept punishment, usually Truth or Dare.
It was the first time Ning Yunyi encountered someone connecting to him.
