This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

In a beautiful restaurant, Zheng Wenlong was pointing to the various delicacies in front of them. They were in a private room by the window.

Brother Long, try this Jade Bamboo Pearl Chicken! Dont underestimate this place just because its in the countryside. The food here is famous! This Jade Bamboo, in particular, is a local delicacy. It must be cooked within six hours of sprouting, or its flavor deteriorates. By the tenth hour, it rots. As for the Pearl Chicken, it is a spirit beast that lives on water, air, and land. It preys on fish and shrimp. Its meat is first-rate. Many people come a long way just to try it!

The two of them had used over ten transportation formations to reach this town. Zheng Wenlong promptly took Long Chen out for a meal, ordering without even glancing at the menu.

The Jade Bamboo was sharp, and the chicken meat was outstanding. When paired, the flavor was divine. Long Chen had spent all his time cultivating and absorbing spiritual qi and hadnt eaten in a long while. However, today his appetite was awakened.

Long Chen took out a jug of wine and poured it for Zheng Wenlong. The two of them then toasted and drank their cups. Just as Long Chen raised the jug to pour again, Zheng Wenlong took it and poured for Long Chen first.

Just then, the door was rudely pushed open.

Over ten young men and women walked in. They gazed at the two of them coldly, leaving Long Chen baffled.

Whats going on? Whos causing trouble for me now?

Take your food and go. Well pay for it! A somewhat handsome man spoke up after looking them over.

Hey, you cant do this! Please

Just then, an attendant rushed in and stopped him.

The table Zheng Wenlong selected was the best spot in the restaurant, offering a view of the town and the surrounding scenery.

Seeing that the best spot had been taken, these youngsters were irritated. Furthermore, it was just the two of them taking up such a large area. They immediately ordered Long Chen and Zheng Wenlong out.

The attendant instantly sensed something was wrong when he saw them, but their extravagant robes and arrogant demeanor suggested they were not ordinary individuals.

Scram. If you irritate us, well tear down this restaurant of yours, said an arrogant woman.

Miss, please dont make things hard on us. You are all our precious guests. Youre putting us in a tough spot! cried the attendant.

The attendant spent each day welcoming guests and had encountered many similar situations. He could only do their best in such cases. Otherwise, if every guest eating their meals were chased away, the restaurant would stop making a profit.

Seeing that she had now cowed the attendant, the arrogant womans expression sank.

Fuck off! she shouted, unleashing a qi wave that sent the attendant flying.

Long Chen was surprised. This woman was actually decently powerful. Her law power was tightly condensed, indicating she was likely supported by a strong faction. Although her qi wave was potent, most of it was retracted when it touched the attendant. Otherwise, the attendant would have been blown out of the restaurant. Her mastery over her power was quite good.

Despite the interruption, Long Chen and Zheng Wenlong continued sipping their wine. They clinked cups once more and finished their drinks.

Both Long Chen and Zheng Wenlong were seasoned individuals. They were completely unshaken by the situation, simply viewing it as entertainment during mealtime.

You two!

These youngsters were outraged at being treated as clowns. The moment one of them grabbed their sword, a sharp aura rose.

Everyone, you are in my abode, and the reputation of my restaurant depends on you. I am unsure what I may have done wrong, but please let me know, and I will apologize.

Just then, an elderly voice rang out, and a smiling elder appeared before them.

He was a white-haired, chubby elder. His amiable smile concealed the fact that he was half a step away from becoming an acquired Divine Sovereign.

Long Chen certainly didn't expect to find an expert of this caliber in the restaurant of a small town. While such an expert was nothing special to him, the presence of someone of that level in such a place was surprising.

These young individuals clearly lacked experience. The proper approach was to say a few rehearsed words, after which each side would step back to de-escalate the situation.

However, they were too shocked to see a powerful existence here and panicked. They didnt know what to say, leaving the atmosphere tense.

In the end, that elder turned to the attendant and said, Shouldnt you apologize for provoking these heroes?

This junior has offended you. Please forgive me!

At least, the attendant was wiser and offered a simple apology.

Hmph, whatever. The ringleader of the youngsters finally reacted, waving his hand dismissively. But he still felt embarrassed and turned to leave.

At that time, the elder said, You're all our important guests. It was my familys child who rudely provoked you. I hope you will give me a chance to make up for this.

Turning to the attendant, the elder instructed, Bring our guests to the western pavilion and serve them our finest delicacies. Do not offend them again!

The attendant immediately gestured for them to follow him. The youngsters obediently followed his lead, but their ringleader turned back to glare at Long Chen.

After they departed, the elder bowed to Zheng Wenlong and said, Mister Wenlong, I apologize for not being able to welcome you in person. The disrespect shown by those naive children is my responsibility. I sincerely apologize.

Old Fang, you don't need to apologize to me. Come and eat with us. Theres good wine here. I should introduce you, this is

Ah, no need for introductions. Mister Long Chen, the hero of the Tiger Venerate line, has already made a name for himself. News of your recent feats has spread to our small town. You crushed armies of devils and demons, and even defeated a divine commander. You also destroyed two Brahma holy lands. How could I not know of such a god-like figure? Mister Long Chen, please allow me to pour you a cup of wine! Old Fang said excitedly.

Senior, youre too courteous.

Old Fang poured the wine for Long Chen, and Long Chen immediately poured him a cup as well.

Brother Long, dont worry, Old Fang is our collaborator. He is backed by a large existence and in charge of gathering the reports from this region, Zheng Wenlong explained. Old Fang, I remember a month ago, a group of the Zither Sects disciples passed through here, is that right?

Long Chen suddenly realized Zheng Wenlongs motive in bringing him here.
