“Honored guest, are you here for a meal or a stay?”
The waiter looked at He Xiuyuan, approaching him with a beaming smile and a very enthusiastic greeting.
He Xiuyuan glanced up at the restaurant.
This restaurant was the most famous one in Peach Blossom Town, so inviting Lord City God here for a chat shouldn't be too shabby.
“A meal. Do you still have private rooms upstairs?”
“Yes, yes, yes, we do!”
The waiter nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, his face beaming with joy.
For those who requested private rooms, it definitely meant more money.
“Alright, reserve a private room for me. I have a friend coming later. Once my friend arrives, lead us up to the private room.”
Since he was inviting Lord City God, it was natural to book a spot in advance.
Having the waiter lead the way was also to prevent He Xiuyuan from not knowing the situation of the private room.
The waiter immediately understood upon hearing this.
He knew that with him leading the way, it would seem as if the private room had been reserved long ago, waiting for them.
Doing so would naturally leave a good impression on the guest.
The waiter nodded and immediately got to work.
Just a moment later, the waiter returned to the side, continuing to call out, while the corner of his eye kept watching He Xiuyuan’s situation.
After waiting for a moment, He Xiuyuan saw a middle-aged man approaching him from not far away.
“Mr. He!”
Lord City God came before He Xiuyuan, cupping his hands and smiling.
Then, his gaze swept over He Xiuyuan, his heart secretly marveling.
It had only been a few days since they last met, yet he felt He Xiuyuan’s Qi had become somewhat profound.
This man was truly extraordinary; he had been overly suspicious before.
“Lord City God, please come in.”
He Xiuyuan also cupped his hands and smiled at the City God before him, extending a hand to invite him in.
The waiter nearby immediately came over, “Has Mr. He’s esteemed guest arrived! Mr. He reserved a spot early, just waiting for your arrival.”
“This way, please.”
The waiter was very enthusiastic, walking a few steps behind but always leading the way with his hand.
He Xiuyuan was somewhat emotional seeing this scene; even the waiters at Drunken Moon Pavilion were this capable.
If any other esteemed guest had visited once, they would surely remember this place afterward.
Once the waiter led the two into the private room, He Xiuyuan looked at the waiter serving tea and asked.
“What signature dishes do you have here?”
“Honored guest, we have many signature dishes here, such as stir-fried silver sprouts with scallions, roasted tender meat on skewers, Stars Adorning the Moon, and our famous drunk moon wine, which truly leaves those who taste it full of praise.”
The waiter pouring tea immediately rattled them off.
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then directly ordered a portion of all the signature dishes, and also the drunk moon wine the waiter mentioned, before waving his hand for the waiter to leave.
Once the waiter left and closed the door, He Xiuyuan raised his teacup as if it were wine and spoke to the City God.
“Thank you, Lord City God, for gracing us with your presence.”
“Mr. He, what are you saying? It was I who invited Mr. He first.”
The City God chuckled upon hearing He Xiuyuan’s words and raised his teacup, saying.
He Xiuyuan also smiled upon hearing this, then again expressed his gratitude, “I also have to thank Lord City God for the Cultivation Technique. If it weren’t for this Cultivation Technique, I would have been without a path to the Dao.”
He Xiuyuan’s gratitude was sincere.
After all, he had asked so many people before, yet he still didn't know where those Immortal Caves were, and he didn't know where to go to find a master.
It was only with the Cultivation Technique from the City God that He Xiuyuan was able to Cultivate as he wished.
Moreover, after he successfully Cultivated, the Jade Slip also disappeared.
The City God’s hand trembled slightly upon hearing He Xiuyuan’s words, although he had roughly confirmed that He Xiuyuan had successfully Cultivated when he arrived.
Yet, hearing He Xiuyuan confirm it so clearly, he still felt somewhat incredible.
That Cultivation Technique was extremely obscure and difficult to comprehend; he had studied it for decades but still couldn't understand its meaning.
How long had He Xiuyuan had it in his hands? And he had already successfully Cultivated it. This... was truly remarkable.
The City God looked at He Xiuyuan before him, sighing with emotion in his heart.
“Mr. He is truly formidable. You Cultivated this Cultivation Technique in such a short amount of time.”
He Xiuyuan looked at the City God, listening to his words and assuming he was being complimentary.
After all, he had successfully Cultivated it by chance, so this Cultivation Technique must not be difficult.
If it were truly difficult, how could he have successfully Cultivated it so easily?
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan cupped his hands and smiled, “Lord City God, you flatter me. I merely succeeded by luck.”
The City God smiled upon hearing this; this Mr. He was truly modest.
He had Cultivated such a difficult Cultivation Technique and still claimed it was by luck.
How could this Cultivation Technique be Cultivated by luck alone?
However, this was likely the usual style of these Cultivators, preferring modesty.
Thinking of this, the City God said no more.
However, He Xiuyuan suddenly remembered another matter, “Lord City God, do you know the Mountain Lord of Mount Niutou?”
“Oh, why does Mr. He ask about this?”
The City God hadn't expected He Xiuyuan to suddenly change the subject and ask about the tiger demon of Mount Niutou.
“I had a brief encounter with him last night. This Mountain Lord said he had Cultivated for decades and never harmed anyone. Is this true?”
He Xiuyuan asked this question, naturally wanting to confirm whether the Mountain Lord had truly not harmed anyone all these years.
If so, then Zhou Yong and the others could continue hunting with peace of mind.
If not, then it would be best to tell them not to go there anymore.
The City God gasped upon hearing He Xiuyuan’s words.
He naturally knew that Mountain Lord; his Dao cultivation was very high.
And such a highly Cultivated Mountain Lord actually claimed before He Xiuyuan that he had never harmed anyone.
Presumably, they must have exchanged blows at the time, and the Mountain Lord, knowing he was no match, then begged for mercy with such words.
This He Xiuyuan was truly formidable. How long had he been Cultivating, and he could already subdue that Mountain Lord?
Thinking of this, the City God couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away non-existent sweat, saying, “That Mountain Lord indeed has never harmed anyone.”
He held a judgment book in his hand, which recorded all those who had died unjustly over the years, and there was no record of the Mountain Lord harming anyone in these records.
Therefore, what the Mountain Lord said was true.
He Xiuyuan immediately felt relieved upon hearing this, “In that case, I am relieved.”
With the City God’s word, he could tell Zhou Yong clearly when he returned.
However, the City God, hearing this, only thought He Xiuyuan was saying that he could spare the Mountain Lord in that case.
Thinking this, the City God admired Expert even more.
The methods of Expert were truly extraordinary!
“Honored guest, your drunk moon wine is here!”
Just as the City God was filled with emotion, the waiter knocked on the door and entered, carrying a tray.
As the waiter entered, an aroma of wine also wafted out.
