Chapter 302: Dinner Table (Part ) "Grandpa Jack, no need to see me off. We are leaving now." Ten miles after leaving Shenghun Village, Zhou Qing saw Old Jack, Wang, and Wang's son still following behind, and urged them again, "And Aunt Wang, you're pregnant! Brother Wang, send your mother back!" "Yes, Grandpa Jack, you are so old, and so is Aunt Wang, you should all go back." Tang San also advised. "Then we'll send it here." After the two men's persuasion, Old Jack, Wang, and Wang's son finally stayed where they were and no longer insisted on seeing them off. However, the three of them waited until Zhou Qing and the others disappeared before turning back... "Let's go, speed up." Zhou Qing turned around and after not seeing Old Jack anymore, he said to Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and You Hui, "There is no carriage now. We have to run back to Falling Star City." "With our speed, we should be able to reach the destination in half a day if we don't rest." Tang San estimated the time. However, when the group arrived a hundred miles outside Luoxing City, the sun was already setting and it was almost dusk.
"Let's take a break. We should be able to enter the city before the city gates are closed." Seeing Youhui gasping for breath, Zhou Qing suggested that they rest for a while. Along the way, Zhou Qing and Tang San recovered their soul power quickly, Xiao Wu and Romantina had good physical strength, but You Hui was a little weak, with poor physical fitness and slow soul power recovery, so it took a lot of time. But the four of them did not say anything to her about this. Instead, they deliberately took care of her speed and stopped to rest several times along the way so that Youhui could recover her physical and spiritual strength. Half an hour later, Youhui had almost recovered, and Zhou Qing and the others had also finished regulating their breathing and returned to their best condition. They then continued on their journey and headed towards the north gate of Luoxing City. They finally entered the city before the gate closed. After entering the city, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion personally brought guards to greet Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina, Xiao Wu, You Hui and others, and led them to the City Lord's Mansion. "Haha, you young talents are really sincere! Come in!" Darles went out to greet them, grabbed Zhou Qing's hand, and walked into the dining room. A round table was already filled with all kinds of steaming delicacies - pickles and egg soup as appetizers, fresh fish, tender chicken, and tofu with carved dragon patterns. It was truly luxurious and extravagant. Tang San understood the properties of the medicine and confirmed one by one that there was no problem before he signaled to Zhou Qing, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and You Hui that they could be eaten. "Tomorrow, I hope you will cooperate with me in giving a speech in the square to raise funds to eliminate the Fallen..." "Not urgent." Before Darles could finish his words, Zhou Qing interrupted him, "We haven't eaten yet, let's talk after we're full." "Uh...hahaha." Darles secretly hated it in his heart, but smiled awkwardly on his face. He ordered the servants to continue serving the dishes so as not to neglect the guests. "Eat, eat more. Being able to eat is a blessing." Youhui lowered her head and did not dare to look at Darles, because the etiquette of the nobility told her that Zhou Qing's behavior was actually very impolite. But considering that Zhou Qing was her friend and Darles was their common enemy, she could only bury her head in her food and make up for the part that Darles owed her first. But Romantina was different. She still maintained the elegance of a noble dining, showing her dignity, but her heart was already restless - Although Darles was an enemy, they had not yet completely torn their relations with him. She was actually a companion of such a "rude" guy. It was possible that the news would spread during this period, and even spread back to Notting City. How would the nobles of Notting City view her then? [Hiss~ Those looks of contempt and disdain for me, just imagining it, it's exciting! ] Tang San had no expression on his face and ate in silence. After all, Darles was already a dead man in his eyes, and what on earth was thinking in the mind of a dead man? Don't care. Xiao Wu's personality was the most carefree one, and she even taunted, "That's right, who will eat this amount of food? We are all soul masters!" Darles had no choice but to continue ordering the dishes to be served. He glanced at Xiao Wu calmly, wondering if he had made a wrong judgment about this girl with long braids. With her personality, she didn't look like she was from a big family! Could she be a commoner? But how could a commoner have the time to maintain such long hair? However, Darles did not intend to explore Xiao Wu's true identity. He waited until Zhou Qing was full before talking about business: "I wonder if you are full?"
"Yeah, I'm full." Zhou Qing picked his teeth with a toothpick, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and burped. "Lord City Lord, have you found out where the Fallen and his accomplices have fled to during this time?" "Of course I found it. It's at Luoxingpo, fifty miles outside the south city gate." Dales said with certainty. "Oh? The city lord is so efficient that he found out in such a short time. The city lord of our Notting City still doesn't know that the gang of thieves who attacked his mansion at night were actually accomplices of the Fallen." Zhou Qing put down the toothpick, hinting at something. 【This kid! 】 At this moment, Darles was 100% sure that although Zhou was young, he was very strong. He was not the kind of soul master who could only show off his fists, but was also very delicate in heart. "This is naturally because my Star Luo Empire is full of talented people!" Dales said complacently. "Then I believe that the city lord has already prepared everything today, and we can set out for Luoxingpo tomorrow to wipe out the Fallen and restore order to Luoxing City and the surrounding towns, right?" Zhou Qing asked. "Hey~" Darles sighed, "This will take time. After all, there is a Soul Sect among the Fallen. If you want the soul masters in the city to join, it will cost a lot of money..." "I heard that the city lord came from Xingluo City. He must be very rich and powerful. He generously donates to the people in the city. I admire him very much!" Zhou Qing hurriedly stood up, interrupted Dales, and congratulated him with a fist. Tang San and Xiao Wu also followed suit. Romantina and Youhui are still immersed in their own "world"... "···Actually, I have no money." Darles was angry in his heart, but still remained patient. "No Money?" Zhou Qing's expression changed, and he pointed at the messy table, "Are you asking us to pay?" “Ahem, that’s not the case…” Worried that Zhou Qing would continue to talk nonsense, Dales said bluntly, "Tomorrow, I will hold a tax donation speech at the Falling Star City Square. In order to eliminate the Fallen, all the people in the city will donate money. But in order to ensure that they believe that we can eliminate the Fallen, you young people who won the championship in the friendly competition need to show your strength." Zhou Qing rubbed his chin and looked at Darles for a long time with a strange look in his eyes: "Are you sure that if we show our strength, the people in the city will pay?" (End of this chapter)
