Chapter 11: The Missing Food

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bei, who had been standing next to her, disappeared without a trace.

“Second brother,” Lin Shiqing shouted softly. She would not have the courage to run around the Blue Cloud Sect in the middle of the night. After all, this was not their home. How could he do as he wished?

She had clearly seen her second brother’s figure just a moment ago. How could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Lin shiqing couldn’t help but hold her breath, afraid that her figure would be too big and alert the kitchen staff around her. She, a small outer sect disciple, might encounter some trouble.

“Why are you in a daze?” Lin Bei immediately knocked on the door.

Hiss ~

“Ouch! Eh? Second Brother, you didn’t disappear!” Lin Shiqing’s originally dejected expression immediately brightened.

The feeling of stealing food for the first time was both exciting and exciting. How should she put it? It made her heart beat faster, and her breathing was rapid.

“Don’t say anything!” Lin Bei covered Lin Shiqing’s mouth with his hand.

Soon after, two people walked past them.

The person in front mumbled in dissatisfaction, “It’s just a Secretary Li Song, but he’s acting so high and mighty as if he’s some big shot!”

“Lower your voice. I’ll tell you, but don’t tell anyone else,” the person behind him whispered into his ear.

“That’s impossible! He actually likes men!” After he finished speaking, he gasped.

“Shh, quiet! If someone hears you, you’re finished!” the person behind him said in a low voice.

A call came from the distance.

“What are you two doing? Are you slacking off?” someone said in dissatisfaction.

When they heard someone calling out to them, the two of them pretended to have just finished their work, then they scurried away.

When they heard the sound of footsteps leaving, Lin Shiqing felt the hand that was covering her mouth disappear.

“Second Brother, why don’t you just use your identity as an outer sect disciple and ask for a midnight snack?” Lin Shiqing asked.

There was no response, but after some time, Lin Bei said seriously, “The old saying is good. A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal!” As he spoke, his eyebrows twitched.

After that, Lin Shiqing was thrown onto the roof by Lin Bei. He gently put her down without making any sound.

Lin Bei crouched on the roof, lifted a tile, and looked down. Then, he quickly went to another roof.

Lin shiqing was dumbfounded by his speed and agility. She rubbed her eyes and when she opened them again, Lin Bei had completely disappeared.

“Second Brother? When did he become so good at fighting?” She looked down along the tiles. “Oh my, so high.”

She was just about to move her body when the tiles creaked, as if they could not bear the burden. She was so frightened that she immediately stopped moving.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the entire kitchen’s scolding had disappeared. There was a rustling sound of things being packed.

Lin Shiqing looked down from the tile and saw a familiar figure opening a bamboo cover.

Lin Bei flipped it open and took out a roast chicken. He swallowed his saliva when he saw Lin Shiqing on the roof.

It was fine if she didn’t see these things, but how could he not drool when he saw them with his own eyes?

Lin Bei grabbed the roast chicken with his left hand and fumbled around under the lids with his right hand, looking for the food he wanted.

He heard the sound of water dripping behind him. He looked up at the roof and saw Lin Shiqing drooling as she watched him eat. Hence, he reached out and threw the half-eaten roast chicken to her.

After that, footsteps were heard outside the door. Lin Bei jumped onto the beam immediately. He lay on top to see the reaction of the people below.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, appeared in front of him. As soon as fatty entered, he went straight to the place where he had stored the roast chicken.

He saw that it was completely empty—there was nothing left.

“Song Wan, did you see my roast chicken?” he asked, puzzled.

The thin man named Song Wan seemed to be slightly annoyed and was in a bad mood. He didn’t want to talk to him.

“Song Wan, did you eat my roast chicken?” the fat man asked in an aggressive manner.

The thin man was annoyed. “Wu Gan, I roasted that chicken. I roasted it at a fixed position every day. Do I need to eat it secretly?” the skinny Song Wan retorted.

“Why don’t you roast another one for me?” The fatty twisted his body, and the fat that had gathered together swayed back and forth in front of people’s eyes. It was truly terrifying.

“Alright! This is troublesome!” Wu Gan’s coy voice made Song Wan want to puke, but he suppressed his disgust and discomfort. He went to the place where fatty had rummaged and searched carefully, but he found nothing.

“The roast chicken flew away?”

Suddenly, the sound of assembly came from outside the door.

“After the inspection, gather at the open space!”

“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Song Wan pulled the reluctant Wu Gan out of the kitchen with a puzzled look on his face. His heart was filled with doubt. He had been preparing an extra roast chicken every day for several years, and there had never been a problem. Could it be that I forgot to roast it today?

Meanwhile, Lin Bei smiled when he heard the voice. He jumped down from the beam and went to the next room to find a man-made salmon that was only missing slices.

He then took out the huge ring that Xian Fu had given him. As for whether the other party was sincere or not, no one knew. After all, it was drunk.

At the same time, he collected all kinds of fruits, such as cherries, mangosteen, pears, and durians, which were stuffed inside. He didn’t see any staple food in the kitchen, and he didn’t know where they were.

Outside the door…

“Put that salmon in the ice cellar later. Take it out in the morning for the outer gate steward to receive his colleagues from the neighboring peak, understand?” a deep voice was heard.

“Yes!” the crowd replied in unison.

“Song Wan, Wu Gan, stay,” the voice called out to Song Wan and Wu Gan, who were about to leave. “The rest of you wait outside!”

Song Wan and Wu Gan followed Li Song into the room that they had come out of. They were all smiles as they looked at the latter’s smiling face, but deep inside, they felt a chill down their spine as they recalled the recent rumors.

Could it be that Li Song was going to attack the two of them?

Song Wan and Wu Gan covered their buttocks almost at the same time.

Li Song didn’t think much about their strange actions. He asked with a smile, “How’s your detection ability?”

“I’m good at sensing, so I can see everything in the vicinity.” Song Wan had a smug look on his face.

“My ability is inborn. My eyes can see hidden things. There’s no place within a one-kilometer radius that I can’t see.” Since Song Wan had already answered, Wu Gan replied politely.

“I hope so!” Li Song only knew the abilities of the two people, but what their specific abilities were, he had no idea what the actual situation was like.

“Then write down what you’ve sensed and seen!” Li Song pointed to the paper and pen at the side, telling them to maintain the kitchen’s hygiene.

Song Wan and Wu Gan were scribbling and drawing on a piece of paper. In a short while, they marked the locations of the rats and other pests nearby and asked the chefs to deal with them. He didn’t notice Lin Bei and Lin Shiqing on the roof at all.

Before the messy footsteps of the crowd outside the door could be heard, Lin Bei had already turned around and climbed onto the roof, eating happily with Lin Shiqing.

Suddenly, screams came from below.

“Salmon! The salmon’s gone!”

“Same here! No fruits either!”

“The durian tribute is also gone!”

The kitchen manager heard the scream and rushed in. “What’s happening? Why are you in such a panic?” the supervisor asked with a calm expression.

“Supervisor, the salmon’s gone!” One of the chefs carefully answered while avoiding eye contact.

Hearing this, the supervisor frowned. This wasn’t any other food that could be replaced, so he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Bang ~

Someone rushed in and knocked down a shelf. The shelf rolled back and forth on the ground and finally stopped.

“How can you be so careless?!” Upon seeing this scene, the supervisor’s frown turned into a straight line.

The person didn’t dare to take his chances and hurriedly stood up to report. “Manager, all of our fruits have disappeared!”

“Are the tributes still there?” the supervisor asked.

“They’ve also disappeared!” the man lowered his head and said in a low voice.

The supervisor’s self-restraint was gone. “We can’t even leave yet!”

Losing something like this was simply slapping his own face! And it was a loud slap at that!

The supervisor angrily smashed the table in front of him.

Boom!

A cloud of smoke rose, and the table broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
