Chapter 1266: Chapter 115: The Golden Jade Restaurant
Feng Zhi hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t quite believe what Ah Dai and Xuan Yue said, he didn’t want to offend them either, and could only nod, saying, "Since you say so, let’s wait and see. The Mage Guild of our continent has never been the one to provoke first; as long as they are as peaceful as you claim, naturally there won’t be any conflict. By the way, is Larthas trying to woo you over?"
Even though Ah Dai was simple-minded, he could sense that Feng Zhi didn’t trust him and Xuan Yue, which caused a trace of anger to rise within him. He indifferently said, "He did not try to woo us; you’re overthinking it. Since the Guild’s matters are resolved, we’ll take our leave now. Brother, let’s go." After saying that, he strode out. Xuan Yue snorted and gave Feng Zhi a glance, then followed Ah Dai.
Feng Zhi somewhat regretted his impulsiveness. Seeing Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s determination to leave, he didn’t try to detain them any further but could only sigh and watch them gradually walk away.
Just as Ah Dai and Xuan Yue stepped out of the Mage Guild, an anxious voice came from behind, "Wait for me, and me too!" A cyan figure chased after them; it was Olivia.
Xuan Yue said, "What? You’re still willing to follow us? Aren’t you afraid your Teacher Feng Zhi will accuse you of joining a faction?"
Olivia awkwardly said, "Actually, actually you’re misunderstanding. As the person in charge of the Mage Guild here on the continent, Teacher Feng Zhi naturally has to be cautious. After Larthas had a secret talk with you and then you spoke in his favor, how could it not arouse Teacher Feng Zhi’s suspicion? But, I absolutely believe you. Don’t blame Teacher Feng Zhi, okay?"
Ah Dai said, "We won’t blame anyone, but we don’t want others to suspect us either. As time passes, Elder Feng Zhi will understand. Since you are willing to travel the continent with us, then let’s go together."
Hearing that Ah Dai didn’t reject him, Olivia immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where are we heading now? Directly to the Death Mountain Range?"
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "No, we should go to the Red Charming Clan first, following Brother Xuan Re’s plan."
Xuan Yue took a map out of his chest pocket and looked at it, saying, "We leave from the East City Gate and head straight east to reach the Red Charming Clan. Their largest city is the capital, Red Hurricane City; that’s our next destination. Vila, you probably don’t know yet, but both Ah Dai and I are mercenaries. As the birthplace of mercenaries, how could we not go and take a look?"
Olivia was shocked inside, "Mercenaries?"
"Yes! What, is there a problem? Let’s find a place to eat something first; we haven’t eaten for several days."
Only then did Olivia realize that Ah Dai and Xuan Yue had not eaten a single grain of rice since awakening from their cultivation and couldn’t help feeling displeased with Feng Zhi. After all, they had helped the Guild so much, yet they left without even eating, which felt quite unreasonable. He quickly said, "I’m really sorry, because of Larthas’s appearance just now, it upset Teacher Feng Zhi’s mood and he didn’t host you properly. Let me treat you this meal. Let’s go to the largest restaurant in Andis City for a meal, consider it an apology from me on behalf of Teacher Feng Zhi."
Looking at Olivia’s sincere eyes, Ah Dai smiled and said, "No need for you to treat us, I don’t blame Elder Feng Zhi. After all, we’re not familiar with him, and it’s not unreasonable for him to doubt us. Since we’re about to leave, you can take us to the largest restaurant here to try some local delicacies, I’ll be the host." He and Xuan Yue had received fifty diamond coins from Mulat, and with full pockets, he spoke with much more confidence.
Olivia laughed and said, "The Yajin Tribe is a race that values food quite a bit, I guarantee you will be satisfied. Come on, the largest Gold and Jade Restaurant in Andis City is right next to the famous Andis Exchange." Saying so, he eagerly led the way.
Since coming to Andis City, they hadn’t had the chance to properly explore the city. Now that the business with the Mage Guild was settled, they naturally relaxed. Ah Dai and the others followed Olivia, winding through the streets, and after a good half an hour, they finally arrived at the Andis Exchange located in the east of the city.
Andis Exchange is the largest rare metal trading hub on the continent, with more than sixty percent of the continent’s rare metals being traded here. The Exchange, under the control of the Yajin Tribe, had very strict management. Anyone wishing to trade there must go through rigorous quality inspections. As such, nearly all merchants who come here leave satisfied, and the influence of Andis Exchange has continued to grow, leading to its status today.
Looking at the tall walls in front of him, Olivia introduced, "Inside is the Andis Exchange. The security is controlled by the military, no one dares to cause trouble, and the trading is fair. It is one of the places all merchants love the most."
Xuan Yue curiously looked at the entrance, where the giant arch was over ten meters tall, and said, "I’ve heard of this place before. Since we’re here, let’s go in and take a look; maybe there’s something that I want."
Ah Dai said, "Brother, your... Let’s eat first, we can talk about it after eating." He was about to say, "Your curiosity is as large as Yue Yue’s!" but fearing it might provoke Xuan Re’s anger, he quickly changed what he was going to say. Xuan Yue looked at Ah Dai with confusion and replied, "Big brother, are you very hungry? Alright then, let’s go eat first. Vila, lead the way."
Olivia didn’t pick up on the strange atmosphere between them and said, "Alright, if we go around the side, we’ll be there."
