Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty IX: The Conflict in the Restaurant
Jumping onto the bow again, it didn't take long before a guy came over and took Xiao Chen and the two into the cabin. The owner of the merchant ship, being polite, took out a thousand low-level spirit stones and handed them to Xiao Chen, and asked someone to arrange a room for each of them.
For a thousand low-level spirit stones, Xiao Chen can take it with peace of mind, and the effort he has put in is definitely worthy of the price.
After the captain left, Liu Suifeng sighed and said, "Yesterday, I told me that there were no vacancies, but today there are two available at once. It seems that you have to be strong wherever you are."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not speak. It is good that Liu Suifeng has such an understanding. After going out this time, he will probably spend more time on cultivation in the future.
The room in the cabin is no different from the upper room in the general inn. Xiao Chen sat on the bed and directly entered the state of cultivation.
It has been almost ten days since he went down the mountain. During these ten days, Xiao Chen will fight almost every day, and there will be a little gain.
He benefited a lot from the underwater battle just now, so he decided to take this opportunity to raise his cultivation to the peak of the low-rank Martial Venerable, and then hit the fourth stage of the Dragon and Tiger Body Shaping Art.
For three days, Xiao Chen basically stayed in the room, during which Liu Suifeng asked him to go out a few times to get some fresh air, but he refused.
At the critical moment, Xiao Chen didn't want to waste time and had to endure loneliness.
Everything!
There was a knock on the door, and Liu Suifeng said: "Ye Chen, we are going ashore soon, I will wait for you at the bow of the boat."
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. In the house, purple currents ran everywhere, and Zizi couldn't stop thinking.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and made a move, and all the currents immediately gathered in his right hand, forming a burning lightning flame, with a light flick.
A vase on the table, with a muffled bang, was blasted into a pile of powder by the thunder and fell on the wooden table.
Xiao Chen got up, waved a palm wind casually, blowing away the powder, and said lightly: "The cultivation base has finally reached the peak of the lower rank Wu Zun, and the control of Zi Lei's real fire is becoming more and more handy."
"It's just the fourth level of Dragon and Tiger Body Shaping. It will take a while to achieve great success. It can't be done overnight. It can be completed after the auction is over."
Pushing open the door, Xiao Chen walked slowly to the bow of the boat, and soon found Liu Suifeng's figure.
Liu Suifeng heard the footsteps, looked back, and found that the feeling Xiao Chen gave him had strengthened again, and said in surprise: "Ye Chen, your cultivation base has increased again?"
Xiao Chen nodded, and said: "We have reached the peak of the low-rank Martial Lord, and it is a bit difficult to advance again in a short time."
After reaching the cultivation level of Wu Zun, it will be extremely difficult to promote each small realm. The difficulty of promoting from low-rank Wu Zun to middle-rank Wu Zun is not much different from the previous big-level promotion.
Liu Suifeng smacked his tongue and said, "I really don't know how you cultivated. The speed is too terrifying."
Xiao Chen replied: "In addition to talent and cultivation skills, necessary experience and hard work are indispensable. Haven't you discovered that after you came out this time, your cultivation has actually improved a bit."
"Then it's about being able to endure loneliness. When others are intoxicated with all kinds of desires, you can hurry up and practice, and the speed will naturally be faster."
Liu Suifeng felt a little embarrassed, knowing that Xiao Chen was talking about him, he quickly changed the topic and said: "Go to the port in front, and you can reach Xihe City by walking for half a day."
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of his finger, it was a bustling and tense port, with boats coming in and out from time to time, the shore was much busier than the previous port.
There was an endless stream of people walking on it, and the hustle and bustle sound reached Xiao Chen's ears from a long distance away.
Xiao Chen suddenly asked curiously: "Where is the final end of the Black Dragon River?"
Liu Suifeng is no stranger to this, and explained: "Xihe Mansion is already on the edge of the Great Qin Kingdom. After the Black Dragon River passes through Xihe Mansion, it will flow through the ancient land, where there are tributaries that can go to other countries. The final destination is the endless sea to the west."
Endless sea? Xiao Chen's heart moved, the river drawn on that sketch could not be the Black Dragon River, if the destination was the endless sea, it would be very similar.
"We're here, let's get the horse first."
Liu Suifeng's voice interrupted Xiao Chen's thinking, so he had to temporarily give up this idea. Leading the dragon blood horse, they walked slowly down the bow, and the two immediately got on their horses and rushed towards Xihe City.
After half a day's journey, the outline of a magnificent city wall first appeared in the field of vision of the two of them. The city wall was as high as 100 meters, and the length could not be seen at a glance.
Xiao Chen had seen the city of Dongming Mansion before, and it was as magnificent as this, so he didn't have much experience, and entered the city smoothly after paying the entrance fee.
The streets in Xihe City are extremely wide, and there are special carriageways and sidewalks, so although there are many people, the two of them rode on horseback and walked on it, and it didn't seem too crowded.
After inquiring about the nearest inn, the two went straight, tied the horses outside, and walked in towards the gate.
"Liushang Pavilion." Xiao Chen looked at the signboard of the inn, and smiled slightly. Unexpectedly, there is also a branch of Liushang Pavilion here. He seems to have a VIP card, but he has a chance to use it.
Perhaps because of the large auction, the business of the restaurant was very hot, the first floor was full, the second floor was still full of tables, and there were still some people waiting in line.
Liu Suifeng said helplessly: "It seems that we can only change to another hotel. You need a VIP card to go up the third floor of Liushang Pavilion."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "No need, let's go to the third floor, I happen to have the VIP card of this restaurant."
Xiao Chen took out the VIP card and looked at the person in front of the third floor. The person immediately greeted Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen respectfully, with an extremely humble attitude.
Because the VIP card that Xiao Chen took out was of the highest level, he could go directly to the fifth floor of Liushang Pavilion. Anyone who can have this kind of VIP card has a very important status.
Liu Suifeng said unexpectedly: "It's really the VIP card of Liushang Pavilion. How did you get it? It's not easy to get it."
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "This restaurant is opened by that fat man. For him, a VIP card is just a piece of cake."
But the luck of the two seemed to be a little bit bad, there was still no extra empty table on the third floor, Xiao Chen glanced roughly and said: "Go to the fourth floor, I don't believe it's so difficult to even have a meal."
After showing the VIP card, the two of them came to the fourth floor. The fourth floor was different from the third floor. They were all separate compartments, which seemed much cleaner.
Called Xiao Er, and finally got a reply this time, and there was still a spare cubicle.
"Wait a minute, I want this compartment." Just as Xiao Er was about to rush over with Xiao Chen and the two of them, a discordant voice came from behind them.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, turned around and saw a group of young people wearing black clothes, five of them were men and women, and four white snowflakes were embroidered on the chest of the clothes.
This is the symbol of the Yehan Palace. Black represents the night, and the snowflakes symbolize the cold. The four snowflakes are embroidered by the talents of the core disciples.
The leader looked stern and dignified, with a long sword at his waist, seeing the badges on the waists of the two of Xiao Chen, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this person, the little boy's expression changed slightly, and he said: "Master Shi, this is not good, this compartment has already been promised to them."
This person smiled faintly, walked straight forward, and said without looking back: "Didn't you go in yet? I invited them for this meal. We will talk about it after we finish eating. You go and prepare."
The tone was very indifferent, treating Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen as if they were air, and directly ignored them.
Xiao Er stopped in front of the man surnamed Shi, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, we Liushang Pavilion has our own rules, first come first served is the basic rule, and please Mr. Shi don't make things difficult for us."
A trace of gloom flashed across Shi Feng's face, he didn't expect that Xiao Er, who is usually very face-saving, would say such words at this time, "Say it again, believe me or not, you can make Liushang Pavilion close in Xihe City .”
Xiao Er hesitated in his heart, he really didn't know what to do, Shi Feng in front of him was the second son of the Shi family, one of the three major inheritance families of Xihe Mansion.
Each of the three great families is a colossus, especially the Shi family, whose headquarters happens to be in Xihe City. There is a lot of energy in the local area. If the Shi family is offended, the business of Liushang Pavilion will indeed be difficult.
But on the other hand, the identities of Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen are not ordinary. The top VIP cards of Liushang Pavilion have always been limited in number and will not be distributed casually. It is difficult to explain if they are offended.
"Senior brother Shi Feng, since there is such a rule, let's just wait." The beautiful woman among the five began to say.
One of the five also followed suit: "Senior brother Shi, I think it's better to change to another store, there is no need to embarrass a waiter."
On the surface, these words are to persuade Shi Feng, but in fact, it means that he has no courage and only dares to embarrass a waiter in the shop.
Shi Feng glared at this person fiercely, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't say much in front of that woman.
Turning around and smiling at the woman, "Junior Sister Mu, don't worry, my Shi family can still do things in Xihe City, Xiaoer, do you think so?"
Apart from participating in the auction, one of the main reasons why he went down the mountain this time was because of the woman in front of him, Mu Yanxue.
Mu Yanxue is the most beloved daughter of the Second Mistress of the Yehan Palace, and he pursued her since he was in the Yehan Palace.
The other party is his ideal candidate in terms of appearance, temperament and status. The most important thing is that if he marries this woman, his position in the family will be more stable.
In the future, fighting for the inheritance of the Patriarch will also give you an extra bargaining chip. If you can't even win a small dining table in your own territory, you will lose a little bit of face.
Seeing that Shi Feng directly brought out the name of the Shi family to suppress him, Xiao Er suddenly felt embarrassed, and couldn't help looking at Xiao Chen and the two, hoping that they could back down a little.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly in his heart, he really didn't expect to have such an uneasy meal, and he would meet idiots everywhere.
Today's Xiao Chen is no longer the reckless young man who just left Mohe City. He has a more calm heart, and the edge of a warrior will not be exposed at will.
He turned around and took Liu Suifeng to go to the fifth floor. Most people above the fifth floor can't go up at all, so it shouldn't be a problem to have a meal.
