Chapter 596: Don’t Speak
Cangxing City was at the foot of the Cangxing sect.
It was the biggest city in the Cangxing world and had the highest population.
At this time, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were leisurely walking around the city.
"It feels strange not to see the Blue Star Treasures Pavilion." Jiang Yue commented.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded and turned to Jiang Yue.
"How about starting a Zhenyue Treasures Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yue burst into laughter.
"After several thousand years, are you finally returning to your roots?"
"Are you unwilling?"
"Why would I be unwilling?" Jiang Yue asked with a cunning look in his eyes.
"The Ying guards are capable and reliable. If we leave the Zhenyue Treasures Pavilion in their hands, the business will soon dominate the Cangxing world."
"I also think so." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
At the moment, all the Yu-Jiang people relied on the Zhenyue Archipelago.
However, this was not a lasting solution.
Before long, the family would need a source of income outside the Archipelago.
Most importantly, a business was a good way for the Zhenyue Archipelago to keep in touch with the world.
"We overlooked something." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said.
"What?"
"We transplanted thousands of immortal stone veins but forgot about mineral veins. If there is a chance, let’s find some."
"Come to think of it..." Jiang Yue sighed.
Before they went to Earth, they thought they prepared everything that should be prepared.
However, they often found that they had forgotten something.
If not the sword intent tower or the formation forest, it was mineral veins or something else.
"Rome wasn’t built in a day. Let’s take our time." Yu Nianzhen said, looking at Jiang Yue with a doting look.
"Before we think about Rome, let’s worry about food and wine." Jiang Yue pointed to a restaurant.
Soon after, the two walked to the restaurant entrance.
"Two guests, where do you want to sit?" The receptionist asked.
"Second floor; preferably a window table. Is there such a seat?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Please follow me." The receptionist said and led the way to the second floor.
After the two sat down, the receptionist left and a waiter walked to the table.
"Two guests, do you need a menu?" He asked.
"Please." Jiang Yue nodded and took a menu from the waiter.
However, after looking at the food list, he sighed in disappointment.
"What’s wrong?"
"They don’t have level-five demonic beast meat." Jiang Yue complained in a low voice.
Unfortunately, his voice was not low enough.
Before Yu Nianzhen could say anything, a voice came from the next table.
"Level five meat? Where did this bumpkin come from? Does he think anyone can eat level-five demonic beast meat? Even if the restaurant has such meat, can he afford it? Look at his clothes..., doesn’t he look like a beggar?"
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were shocked.
They subconsciously looked at each other’s clothes and then at everyone else.
Undoubtedly, their clothes were less flashy and looked ordinary.
However, they were not shabby enough to be called beggar clothes.
Most importantly, their clothes were level-six weapons.
Based on this alone, it was highly likely they had the most expensive clothes in the Cangxing world.
’I had forgotten how annoying it was to deal with second-generation young masters.’ Jiang Yue thought and winked at Yu Nianzhen.
[Let me deal with this.] He said and Yu Nianzhen reluctantly nodded.
"Young master, do you want to apologise?" Jiang Yue asked, his words dripping with endless patience.
"Apologise? Did I say anything wrong?"
"Didn’t you?"
"You are a bumpkin..." The young man started but found he couldn’t continue.
"Well then...since you don’t know what to say, there is no need to speak at all." Jiang Yue said and turned to the waiter.
"Is there no level-five meat?" He asked.
When he heard this, the waiter subconsciously glanced at the next table but soon regained his composure.
"There is level five meat but it’s expensive and made to order."
"Menu?"
"We don’t have a menu for level five demonic beast meat." The waiter said and hurriedly explained.
"Level five beasts are few and difficult to kill. At any one time, our restaurant only has one type of level five meat."
"So that’s the case." Jiang Yue nodded and ordered a few dishes made with level-five meat.
At the same time, he ordered two plates of snacks and a pot of level-five wine.
"I will brew a few pots of wine when we go back."
"Good." Yu Nianzhen was immediately excited.
He hadn’t drunk good wine for more than a thousand years.
Now that Jiang Yue offered to brew a few pots, Yu Nianzhen was naturally looking forward to it.
"We should keep some for Master Yang."
"Okay." Yu Nianzhen nodded, rubbing his lover’s hair.
While the two were talking, the next table was in a panic.
At first, the young master’s people thought he was fooling around.
However, when the person couldn’t talk no matter what they asked, they realised the young master had truly become dumb.
"What should we do?" Liu Cheng asked.
"What else can we do? Let’s report to Elder Jin as soon as possible."
"These two people..." Liu Cheng didn’t finish his words but everyone understood.
At the same time, the entire group including young master Jin panicked.
After all, a cultivator who could effortlessly make someone dumb was not weak.
If they were not careful, they would all be killed before they could return to the Cangxing sect.
"Young master Jin, message your grandfather and let him know what has happened. Otherwise, we may not be able to leave this city."
"Let’s go to the city lord’s residence for now." Qin Changfeng suggested.
"Brother Qin is right." Cai Gang said and quickly continued.
"City Lord Lu is an elder of the Cangxing sect. He will protect us and not let anything happen to young master Jin."
After deciding, the group fled the restaurant and ran to the city lord’s residence.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue rolled his eyes.
"Do they think we are monsters?" He complained.
"You are my beautiful monster."
Hearing that, Jiang Yue choked on his saliva.
After all, it was a little strange to hear such corny words from the straight-faced Yu Nianzhen.
"Do you think the city lord will come to cause trouble?"
"Does it matter?"
"You are right. It doesn’t matter." Jiang Yue laughed.
However, the city lord’s granddaughter could not laugh when she heard such words.
If it were anyone else, she would immediately pick a fight.
However, she saw what happened to the young master of the Jin family.
Knowing the two were not good people, she restrained her temper and took out a communication jade pendant from her storage ring.
A moment later, the city lord received a message.
Seeing it was his favourite granddaughter, he activated the jade pendant and read the message.
Instantaneously, his bright face turned gloomy.
At the same time, a knock was heard on his door.
"Who is it?" He demanded.
"City lord Lu, I am Liu Cheng. Young master Jin has been injured and we would like to request your help."
Hearing this, the city lord frowned but still allowed the group to enter his study.
"What’s the matter?"
"City lord Lu, you must help the young master." Qin Changfeng said with a solemn expression.
"Tell me what’s going on."
After that, Qin Changfeng narrated a severely edited version of events.
Fortunately, the city lord had already read his granddaughter’s message.
If he hadn’t, he would have immediately rushed to the restaurant to arrest two evil cultivators.
’These brats dare to trick me?’ City lord Lu gritted his teeth and clenched his hands.
However, he didn’t lose his calm.
"I understand what has happened. However, there is no evidence that the two people did anything to the Jin boy. Let his grandfather handle this matter." City lord Lu immediately shifted responsibility.
"For now, it’s more important to examine the Jin boy. Let me feel his pulse."
Unfortunately, city lord Lu found nothing wrong with the person’s body.
"He has not been poisoned." The city lord stated with a confused expression.
Based on what the group said, city lord Lu thought they were dealing with the disciples of the Five Poisons sect.
In that case, the obvious cause of the dumbness was poison.
However, he found no poisons in the Jin boy’s body.
’I should let an alchemist examine him.’ City lord Lu thought and messaged a fifth-level alchemist.
Ordinarily, he wouldn’t go to such trouble for a junior.
However, the boy was the grandson of a sect elder.
If something went wrong when the person was in Cangxing City, elder Jin would cause a lot of trouble.
At worst, city lord Lu would be removed from his post.
"I have asked an alchemist to examine his body. Wait until he arrives."
"Thank you, city lord Lu." Several people shouted in unison.
However, they weren’t worried about young Master Jin.
What they were worried about was themselves.
After all, they knew the Jin family would not let them go if something went wrong with the young master.
