Shen Lu smiled but didn't say anything. She was confident in her skills, but not so arrogant as to think she could outshine everyone.
Bai Wanwan probably only said that because she was looking at things through the filter of friendship.
"The Kitchen King Competition is starting soon. Are you going to enter?" Bai Lei suddenly asked. "You should, right? Pretty much every restaurant in the Imperial City, big or small, participates."
"I won't," Shen Lu said. She wasn't interested in competitions. Right now, she just wanted to keep a low profile, make money, and complete her quests to max out her shop's defense as soon as possible.
It was best for her to avoid anything that would draw too much attention.
"Huh? Why not?" Bai Lei had been all ready to go and cheer for Shen Lu, hoping he could maybe snag some free food and drinks in the process, but now she wasn't even entering.
Bai Wanwan said, "If Little Deer doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to. Why do you need a reason?"
