They were driving him out!
Cheng Haoxuan snatched up the Challenge Letter at his feet and leapt up with a swoosh, "I'm not leaving! If you won't battle my master, then you must take me as your disciple and teach me how to cook!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the red-faced, frantic Cheng Haoxuan before her as if he were an idiot, "Are you threatening me?"
Cheng Haoxuan swallowed, "If you think it's a threat, then it's a threat! Anyway, you just have to take me as your disciple; I want to learn cooking from you!"
"What if I disagree?" Lin Yuan was both amused and irritated, crossing her arms and raising her eyebrows with interest.
"Then, then I will..." Cheng Haoxuan's eyes darted around and lit up when he saw the teacup on the table. He grabbed the cup and stabbed it towards his wrist, "If you don't agree, I'll die for you to see!"
Pfft! Xia Zheng couldn't help but laugh out, tears almost streaming out.
