Chapter 2077 The Dinner Party Begins
The woman in gauze was stunned for a moment, then hurried up to meet her.
Although a little surprised, she still said in a calm voice, "Two distinguished guests, please follow me to the dinner venue."
Hearing her words, Lin Yue glanced at her and did not leave immediately, but stood still and asked.
"Your elder said that he would give us the scroll of inheritance, when can we start?"
"This... I don't know too well."
The woman in gauze was at a loss for words for a while, and replied with a troubled expression.
Although she knew that the crippled old man had arranged related matters, she didn't know when he planned to show Lin Yue and Lin Yue the scroll of inheritance.
"oh."
After getting this answer, Lin Yue and Qing Bingying did not expect it. They looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
When the lame old man woke up the group of ancestors in private, Lin Yue and Qing Bingying were not idle either. After a brief rest, the two also made a series of plans for the current situation, striving to leave this place as soon as possible. closed domain.
Now seeing that the woman in gauze clothes didn't know about it, Lin Yue and the two also realized that the lame old man must be planning something. First, he dragged them in the name of a dinner party, but until now he has not shown the performance of the scroll of inheritance. His desire to leave this great domain was completely inconsistent.
"Then let's go."
Even so, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they leave this town, it will definitely take a lot of time to find relevant clues, and it may not be possible to find them.
So Lin Yue took Qing Bingying to follow in the footsteps of the woman in gauze, and together they went to the banquet venue she mentioned.
After passing through several long corridors, everyone finally came to a tall golden door.
"Two distinguished guests, this is the banquet venue."
The woman in gauze turned around and said respectfully, then opened the golden door for Lin Yue and the others.
bang——
Accompanied by a heavy rubbing sound, the door was slowly pushed open, and the scene inside the door also appeared in front of Lin Yue and the others.
In a magnificent and huge room, there were more than a dozen rectangular tables. Some noble men and women were talking and laughing. After seeing Lin Yue and the others, the entire venue fell silent for a moment.
Everyone turned their surprised eyes here. As the upper echelons of the clan, they had already learned from the lame old man why the dinner was held this time, so they were also very curious about Lin Yue.
Of course, their city government didn't talk to Lin Yue immediately, but smiled kindly at him and Qing Bingying.
Lin Yue also nodded in response to them with his usual face, and walked to the front table with Qing Bingying under the leadership of the woman in gauze.
"Two distinguished guests, please take a seat. The boss will come as soon as he finishes his business."
The woman in gauze said respectfully, and then stood behind Lin Yue.
"Um."
Hearing this, Lin Yue casually found a chair and sat down, then looked around.
Different from the bustling scenes at other tables, the table at the front only had two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, except for Lin Yue and Qing Bingying. Their expressions were very indifferent. react as if they were not there.
At this time, Lin Yue noticed the dishes on the table, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart trembled violently.
"These dishes...!"
Although Lin Yue doesn't often show off his cooking skills, he can tell at a glance that all the ingredients of the dishes in front of him are rotten!
He controlled his face to remain unchanged, looked at the other tables, and found that the dishes on each table were the same, all made of carrion.
"Do people here feed on carrion...?"
Lin Yue resisted the urge to ask, but sent a voice transmission to Qing Bingying.
"Don't eat the food here for a while."
After hearing Lin Yue's voice transmission, Qing Bingying nodded immediately, then looked at the table in front of her suspiciously, and asked Lin Yue.
"Friend Daoist Lin, is there any medicine in these dishes?"
"No."
Lin Yue replied solemnly, "According to my observation, these dishes are all made of rotten meat."
"What……!"
Upon receiving this answer, Qing Bingying suddenly felt nauseated, and her eyes trembled violently.
She knows that the customs of each big domain or between races are completely different, but eating such carrion is really disgusting!
Just when the two were shocked by this discovery, there was a burst of cheers in the venue.
Lin Yue looked in the direction of the sound, and found that the lame old man walked into the room slowly, and those people in noble clothes greeted him flatteringly one by one.
"Is this guy's status in the city so high?"
Seeing such a scene, Lin Yue couldn't help thinking to himself.
He is aware that the status of the lame old man is not ordinary, but the status of the old man in this place is obviously much more noble than he imagined. In the whole dinner hall, except for the two middle-aged people at the table where he is, no one stands up and confronts him. The lame old man greeted him with a smile.
The crippled old man looked aloof, and his face calmed down a little when he approached Lin Yue's table, and asked Lin Yue with a smile on his face.
"How are the two distinguished guests resting?"
Seeing the lame old man's attitude towards Lin Yue, the guests at the other tables looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They were not stupid, and immediately realized that the identities of Lin Yue and Lin Yue were much more important than they imagined. .
"very good."
Facing the question of the lame old man, Lin Yue did not get up, but replied lightly.
The lame old man was not angry when he saw this, he naturally took a seat beside Lin Yue, then turned his head and gave instructions to the woman in gauze.
"Send the order, the dinner can begin."
"OK."
The woman in gauze nodded, turned around and left, arranged for a few other maids, and started to get busy.
Soon, a new dish was passed on by the maid.
It was only then that Lin Yue realized that the few dishes that were placed on the table before were just appetizers, and the new dishes were all unsightly ingredients.
From the reaction of the crippled old man, it can be seen that these dishes appeared in his expectation, or in other words, these were completely his arrangements.
"What does the elder mean by arranging these dishes?"
Lin Yue asked with a cold face.
Although these words may cause trouble, Lin Yue still said it.
Whether this is a blow from the other party or some kind of special custom, he needs a reasonable explanation!
