“Moon Emperor Sect?”
The old dog was startled; this was an existence even more terrifying than the Rainbow Seven Sisters.
Behind the Rainbow Seven Sisters was Fairy Yun Ni, but Fairy Yun Ni was a Loose Cultivator.
The Moon Emperor Sect was different; it was a truly prominent Sect.
The woman's face was veiled with light gauze, and a crescent-shaped pattern adorned her brow.
Her white gauze skirt resembled clouds and mist, and as she moved, it was as if a Fairy was flying through the mortal world.
“Strange.”
Zhou You murmured to himself, it truly was strange.
The person from the Moon Emperor Sect, the young man who used a saber earlier, had actually appeared in the small Xiliang City.
What kind of secret was hidden within this?
“Strange?”
The old dog turned his head, puzzled.
Zhou You whispered, “When several magnates suddenly arrive in a poor, remote place, it is naturally strange.”
The old dog couldn't quite grasp the meaning of this statement, but he felt it made some sense. “Then what do you think would make them all appear here?”
Zhou You thought for a moment and said, “That means something even stranger has happened.”
The old dog's eyes widened; that was as good as saying nothing. However, he also had his own way of thinking about things. “A Treasure Trove?”
Zhou You nodded, “That possibility cannot be excluded.”
The old dog said happily, “Shall we pull a job?”
Zhou You said, “Don't you know that if you want to live well, you shouldn't go where there are many people?”
The old dog was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“It's very dangerous.”
Zhou You whispered, “When different Qi fields gather together, they will clash. The clashing Qi is malevolent Qi, and when malevolent Qi reaches a certain level, it will twist the Luck of this area. Those whose lives are not strong enough can easily die.”
The old dog found it amusing, “You still believe in this?”
Zhou You nodded, “I do.”
The old dog immediately had nothing to say, but fortunately, Xiao Jing and Zhou Chen came out with their hostages.
“Two spendthrifts.”
The old dog muttered, looking at Zhou Chen and Xiao Jing carrying large and small bags of things, quite displeased, “And they're even carrying captives.”
Zhou You merely glanced at them indifferently. In his heart, he was evaluating other normal cities, using his strolls to determine how strong the powerful individuals in a normal city truly were.
After all, he was over a hundred years old; it was time for him to retire.
But before retirement, the most important thing was to clarify the 'threats,' lest danger find him before he even had a wife.
Since he came down from the mountain, the only normal place had been Qingping City.
Ye City, after that, had experienced battles and could not be considered a city of normal life.
Compared to the front lines, life in the rear was still very peaceful; for most people, as long as Yao Beasts didn't run up and eat them, it wasn't a problem.
Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed.
Zhou Chen naturally leaned closer to Zhou You, “Second Master, I know you don't need to change your outer clothes, so I've prepared many sets of inner lining for you.”
Zhou You couldn't help but sigh, “How thoughtful, I hadn't even thought of that myself.”
“After tonight's matter is over, you should return to Qingping City first.”
Zhou You then instructed.
He felt that Zhou Chen's time should be spent on Cultivation, and he shouldn't follow this 'waste' of himself wandering around.
In his opinion, if he was nurtured well and had sufficient resources, Zhou Chen would soon become the pillar of the Zhou Family.
The old dog said, “Then we don't need to open an inn, right? It costs money.”
Living life, one always had to be frugal.
Zhou You looked up at the sky; it was only evening now, there was still a lot of time.
The old dog added, “When traveling the world, try not to leave any traces of yourself; it's also a basic way to protect yourself. Think about it, if you go to an inn, you'll eventually be noticed.”
He found an excuse for his stinginess.
Of course, he wasn't just stingy himself; he also couldn't stand others spending money lavishly.
“Let's find a place to eat.”
Zhou You put his things into his storage ring and took the lead, walking forward.
The old dog was indignant in his heart. Was he a hungry ghost reborn? He had never seen a Cultivator like this, who only knew how to eat all day long.
The 'Ultimate Purity' restaurant could be considered the most upscale restaurant in Xiliang City.
When they arrived, a woman was dancing gracefully in the central pool and flower platform on the first floor, accompanied by musicians.
There weren't many customers, but those who dared to come here were all either rich or noble.
After all, the consumption was high.
Anyway, if it were the old dog, he wouldn't come to a place like this even if he had to eat bran and vegetables.
“Spendthrift, what a spendthrift.”
The old dog sighed inwardly, mainly because the entrance fee this time was his.
He hadn't even eaten anything yet, but he had already paid the 'ticket fee,' five taels of gold per person.
Entering the second floor, they sat down at the railing surrounding the floor below. From this angle, they could still see the dancing woman below.
Zhou Chen was very surprised, “I didn't expect a place to eat to be arranged with such Concept.”
The old dog scoffed, “The 'Good Walk No Stay' restaurant has over three hundred branches throughout the Hua Xia Dynasty. They make things so flashy, all they know is to swindle others' money.”
Zhou You was astonished, “Over three hundred branches?”
The old dog nodded, “They are known for their so-called service, and their ingredients are also very precious. It can be said that those ingredients are comparable to gold.”
Zhou You chuckled, “He's quite a shrewd businessman.”
The old dog's face was full of disdain, “What can that do? If those great Sects want to deal with them, isn't it just a matter of lifting a hand? In this day and age, strength is the most important thing.”
At this moment, a graceful woman slowly approached, respectfully presenting the menu.
The old dog snatched it first, and his eyes scanned it, instantly changing his expression.
Zhou You turned his head, “What's wrong?”
The old dog's lips trembled, “How about... we change places to eat?”
Zhou You found it amusing, “You've already paid the entrance fee. If we leave like this, twenty-five taels of gold will be wasted.”
Xiao Jing raised an eyebrow, “Isn't it just a meal? Does it have to scare you like this?”
With that, he reached out and grabbed the menu. Upon seeing it, his lips also trembled.
“How about... you order the dishes?”
Xiao Jing placed the menu in front of Zhou You.
Zhou You glanced at it, “Cloud Ling White Rabbit, three thousand taels of gold; Hundred-Year Golden-Striped Dragon Fish, ten thousand taels of gold...”
Hearing this, Zhou Chen's eyes widened.
Was this eating?
This was eating money!
It could be said that one meal could bankrupt the Zhou Family.
The woman softly said from the side, “This is for our esteemed guests to choose the ingredients first, and then we will cook them. The fee is ten percent of the total ingredient cost.”
Zhou You tapped the table with his finger, “These ingredients?”
The woman explained, “They are all genuine Spirit Birds and Spirit Fish; we absolutely dare not pass off inferior goods as good.”
The old dog kept winking at Zhou You. Was this scamming a fool?
With this money, wouldn't buying Medicinal Pills be more satisfying than eating this?
Zhou You took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and placed it on the table, “Just serve dishes according to the value of this Spirit Stone. Anyway, they're all things I haven't eaten before, so anything is fine.”
He had already been careful; High-Grade Spirit Stones could no longer be wasted casually, so he had already cut some Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
