Chapter 19 % Purification
When the barbecue was served, everyone sat down around the table.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. This meat looks delicious." Mo Chen praised, looking at the sizzling grilled meat on the table.
Mo Ze was cutting meat for Lin Shushu when he heard this. Without even looking up, he said, "Do it yourself. Are you waiting for me to cut it for you?"
"I wouldn't dare, that's the treatment Sister Shushu gets, how could I possibly hope for that?" Mo Chen joked with a grin.
Everyone heard what she said. Lin Shushu's face flushed, she quickly glanced at Mo Ze, and then lowered her head as if nothing had happened.
"Shushu, you eat first." Mo Ze ignored his cousin's words.
Lin Shushu took the roasted meat that Mo Ze pushed over, feeling embarrassed. She picked up an empty plate, scooped half of it out, and said, "You eat too. You've been busy all day."
Mo Ze happily accepted it, and while looking at Lin Shushu, he began to eat heartily.
The other four people watched their interaction. They exchanged knowing glances, but knowing that girls are easily embarrassed, they dared not say anything that would make Lin Shushu feel awkward.
"This is so delicious! I've never had such good barbecue before. Even the Xiao family's most upscale restaurant can't make it taste like this," He Fan exclaimed, rubbing his stomach.
“That’s right, there’s not a trace of the strange beast’s smell. Cousin, did you use some secret recipe?” Ji Feng asked.
Since Mo Chen didn't introduce his cousin's name to them, they followed Mo Chen's example and called him cousin.
“But we watched the whole thing when my cousin was grilling the meat, and there didn’t seem to be anything special about it,” Tang Yucheng said hesitantly after thinking for a moment.
After hearing this, the group recalled it and it seemed to be true.
They all looked at Mo Ze, hoping he would give them an answer.
There was no point in hiding it. Mo Ze took out a detector and gestured for them to test the contamination level of the barbecue.
Looking at the detector, the group seemed to understand something, their eyes filled with excitement at the prospect of uncovering a secret.
Mo Chen grabbed the detector and brought it close to the remaining roasted meat. There was a "beep" sound, followed by a voice announcement of the result: "The contamination value of the detected object is '0'."
Although they had some guesses about the result, the four of them could not hide their shock.
They had assumed there would be at least 10% contamination, since even the empire's highest-level purifiers could only purify food to 10% contamination. Food with a contamination level of "0" was something they had never seen or even heard of.
Looking at the four people who were stunned, Mo Ze appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he was very proud. With a casual move, nothing was impossible.
"How did you do that?" Mo Chen asked first, and the other three looked at Mo Ze with curiosity.
Mo Ze did not answer. He smiled gently as he looked at Lin Shushu.
In a flash, Tang Yucheng recalled the scene from before.
Before starting to grill the meat, Mo Ze brought the prey to Lin Shushu, and she seemed to gently run her hand over it.
But is that possible? Can food be completely purified with just a simple swipe? Tang Yucheng still couldn't believe it.
He Fan also thought of this. He looked at Tang Yucheng and saw the same guess in his shocked eyes.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ji Feng became a little anxious. "What's with those expressions? Do you know why?"
"It's Sister Shushu, Sister Shushu is a Purifier, right?" Although Mo Chen's tone was questioning, everyone could hear the certainty in his words.
Tang Yucheng and He Fan both looked at Lin Shushu, waiting for her to nod in confirmation of their guess.
Ji Feng belatedly realized that he also remembered the scene from before, but at the time he thought that Mo Chen's cousin was just showing off to his sweetheart, which was why he was showing off the prey in front of her.
Lin Shushu looked at the four pairs of expectant eyes staring at her. How should she put it?
That's right, she purified the prey, but she's not a purifier; she used spiritual power. Ultimately, she doesn't even know how purifiers purify.
She looked helplessly at Mo Ze, hoping he could help explain.
Following her gaze, everyone looked at Mo Ze.
Mo Ze received Lin Shushu's pleading look and understood what she meant. "That's right, Shushu is a purifier."
Upon hearing this expected answer, the four of them showed expressions of "I knew it".
"So, what level of purification master is Sister Shushu now? She can completely purify pollutants. Has she reached level nine?" Mo Chen asked excitedly.
A level nine purifier! What an awe-inspiring existence! Now, standing right in front of him, how could he not be excited?
It's important to know that the highest-level purifier known in the empire is only level seven. There is a legendary level nine purifier, but there are no records of his purifying abilities.
This question touched on Lin Shushu's area of ignorance; she had no idea what level a level nine purification master should be.
She could only look at Mo Ze again, smiling faintly and remaining silent, exuding an air of superiority.
Mo Ze looked at her with amusement and explained to the others, "Shu Shu hasn't tested it, so she doesn't know what level it is, but it can indeed achieve a 100% purification rate."
Even so, the group had already decided in their hearts that Lin Shushu was a level nine purifier. After all, only the highest level nine could achieve a 100% purification rate; other levels probably couldn't do it.
Mo Ze did not deny their speculations. He said seriously, "I hope you will not talk about Shu Shu's level."
The four were taken aback upon hearing this, but they quickly realized the key point. If news of a level nine purifier spread, it would surely cause turmoil throughout the entire empire, and who knows what might happen then.
The four nodded in unison, indicating that they would keep the secret. At this moment, their gazes towards Lin Shushu held a newfound respect and admiration.
Mo Chen, in particular, had a natural affinity for Lin Shushu and was very supportive of her becoming his future sister-in-law.
The fact that none of them recognized Lin Shushu indicates that she is not from a prominent family.
This doesn't mean that the Mo family looked down on her. In fact, the Mo family is not a family that values social status, and her uncle and aunt are both very open-minded people.
But if Sister Shushu were to marry her cousin, it would definitely cause a sensation, and people would gossip about it. You see, her cousin is a very popular man in the empire, and many noble ladies are eyeing him.
Mo Chen had once overheard someone talking about how the current head of the Lin family on the Imperial Star was actually a second wife. It was said that the first wife came from a remote planet and was ostracized by many people, ultimately dying young.
The last thing he remembered hearing was, "Who knows how that lady died, but who cares?"
Of course, he believed that even if Sister Shushu wasn't a level nine purifier, the Mo family wouldn't mistreat her, especially his brother, who would definitely protect her.
But Sister Shushu has her own strength, which makes people look at her with more respect, especially since she can shut up those people on the imperial star who look down on others.
