Chapter 1606: Chapter 1586: Shui Yuntian
Upon hearing the name of the chicken soup, the members of the Water Ripple Sect instantly felt even more resentment towards the old man; so it turns out the essence was in the last dish!
Eighty-one intricate processes, such craftsmanship is unparalleled!
They didn’t even get to taste it? How could they not hate it!
The Water Ripple Sect, wherever they went, were always the center of attention. How could they be insulted by a beggar here? And to be coldly mocked by the Forget Worries Tea House merchants.
Once sold, no refunds or exchanges? Isn’t this saying their capabilities are lacking, and that’s why they failed to safeguard what belonged to them?
No one thought about how a beggar could casually enter such a place, and moreover, how that beggar had such extraordinary skills; it was simply unbelievable!
"Your Forget Worries Tea House’s security is inadequate, unable to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone. Aren’t you afraid of losing future customers by shirking responsibility like this?" A voice slowly rang out, as a young man in a similar blue robe as the others walked in. However, his robe had more intricate patterns at the collar, appearing very deluxe.
The young man’s appearance was exceptionally handsome, not inferior to the most good-looking person here, Mo.
Woon Xin’s expression instantly turned cold, his eyes emitting a chilling glare. Without needing to delve deeper, he already knew who the person in front of him was. Shui Yuntian—none other than him.
Luo Qianqian easily pushed Woon Xin into He Wenyu’s arms: "You guys go upstairs; he has spotted me, so I’ll stay."
"Alright." Bai Jian tightly clenched his fists, swiftly replied, and Mo and Bai Yinshu dragged him up the stairs, each holding an arm.
Mo’s identity was special, Bai Jian was the leading figure of the Ten Thousand Sect, Woon Xin had a vendetta for his brother, and Luo Qianqian had no reason to let He Wenyu risk herself here.
As for Bai Yinshu, he was of no use here; he wasn’t a member of Nine Heavens Pavilion nor the Ten Thousand Sect.
"This too illustrates the allure of the dishes, prompting someone to grab them by force," as Shui Yuntian cast a provocative gaze over. Luo Qianqian walked out calmly: "Didn’t know the rumored number one was coming; this oversight is ours at Nine Heavens Pavilion. Brother Shui, please have a seat, Shopkeeper, bring the best tea, on my tab."
"Seeing Miss Shiqi is so charming, we’d risk offending Nine Heavens Pavilion just to snatch her," Shui Yuntian unabashedly gazed at Luo Qianqian, then chuckled: "Of course, I’m just joking, hoping Miss Luo doesn’t mind."
"No problem, we children of the martial world aren’t constrained by trifles; without such, how could one come and go freely? If not for the arrival of the Water Ripple Sect brothers, we wouldn’t dare hold such a Noble Duke’s banquet, for not everyone can handle the weight of it. Brother Shui, wouldn’t you agree?" Luo Qianqian smiled calmly and gestured for Shui Yuntian to sit aside.
The four people were all dumbfounded, for they didn’t realize that the figure resembling a boy’s was in fact the renowned Luo Shiqi... Suddenly feeling awkward and uneasy, they looked at Shui Yuntian, seemingly in trouble...
Earlier they were boasting here, though it was true, they merely intended to disgrace Nine Heavens Pavilion in the Forget Worries Tea House, not to openly act foolishly in front of the principal...
After all, Nine Heavens Pavilion is a sect, and since the return of the cultivation world, it is the most burgeoning, though aiming for commerce.
"Exactly what Shiqi said, then I won’t hold back. I originally intended to come to taste some fine food with my disciples, but unexpectedly, so many things happened, to make up for it, this meal is on me." Shui Yuntian nonchalantly smiled at the shopkeeper: "Bring up all that Miss Shiqi favors, let us common folk taste what makes the Forget Worries Tea House so famous."
Bring up everything? It might not fit.
Seeing the shopkeeper’s hesitant expression, Luo Qianqian calmly nodded: "We welcome guests with open doors, apart from those who seriously damage our reputation, naturally we welcome guests from all directions, who wouldn’t seize the chance to make money? For all diners here today, an eighty percent discount is offered, plus a complimentary plate of snacks for each table, as compensation for what just happened."
The shopkeeper hastily nodded, as today they had already made a fortune, they weren’t bothered by this little money.
"You all can sit too, come apologize to Shiqi, as fellow cultivators, why make a mess before everyone?" Shui Yuntian sternly scolded the sect’s four members.
Luo Qianqian raised her brows, on the surface criticizing his own people for being unreasonable, but wasn’t it actually belittling Nine Heavens Pavilion?
"I wouldn’t dare, no way could we let you all apologize; I’m unworthy, please don’t mention it anymore, let’s forget this matter, next time, I’ll repay you back, how about that?"
The one who previously accused Luo Qianqian among the four glimpsed joy in his eyes: "Really? Then..." meeting Shui Yuntian’s gaze, he forcefully suppressed his words: "Miss Shiqi, no need for formality, since we mentioned not to bring it up, how could there be a reason for you to pay back? No need to be so courteous."
... Is this Shui Yuntian a guidance counselor? Changing faces within seconds?
This even has a mute button?
"Then..." Seeing the other’s quite reluctant look, Luo Qianqian lightly smiled: "Next time you come, an eighty percent discount." Anyway, you’ve already paid, wanting a refund? Impossible.
Listening to Luo Qianqian give up persuading them, the four were suddenly dumbfounded; isn’t this when the back-and-forth should continue a bit? And then the senior brother would relent. Did she just give up like that? Is this feigned ignorance or genuine foolishness?
Shui Yuntian was momentarily surprised, then chuckled, eyes sparking with interest, this Luo Shiqi was rather amusing.
Don’t think he didn’t notice, just now at this table sat Bai Jian of the Ten Thousand Sect and the Poison Saint!
"Let’s settle it like this," Shui Yuntian calmly nodded, for them, wealth is merely external, the amount doesn’t matter.
After all, compared with wealth, martial arts secret manuals, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, weapons and elixirs are far more alluring.
"Shopkeeper, don’t forget to bring out my hot cocoa." Earlier in the kitchen, He Wenyu brewed a large pot, besides their portions, others shared a cup.
However, later, Luo Qianqian was busier, so she didn’t touch it.
The shopkeeper hurriedly brought the goods out, it was already cold, Luo Qianqian blinked, white mist rose from her palm, yet her expression remained calm: "Bring me a spoon."
Receiving the spoon, she calmly ate, stunning everyone at the table.
"What is this?" Shui Yuntian asked, noticeably surprised, even though aware that the Forget Worries Tea House had many strange items, it was the first time directly experiencing it.
