Yuming City, a restaurant with elegant decoration.
Even in Yuming City, the first of the seven cities on Yingyu Island, this restaurant occupies a good location. The restaurant is not large, with only two floors, but it is not inferior to the surrounding magnificent buildings in terms of momentum.
Today there are only two guests on the second floor, sitting at the same table.
Jing Yingrong: "Are there usually very few people here?"
Wu Yaochen: "It's not much. This shop is very stylish and the prices are very high. Few disciples can afford it. Most of the regular customers are core disciples and elders of the sect. Now that almost all of these people have been sent out, there will naturally be no customers." "
Jing Yingrong glanced at him: "You seem to understand me very well. Is it because you come here often?"
Wu Yaochen was stunned for a moment, then coughed dryly and said, "I've been here a few times. Miss Shu plays pretty good music."
"Then I don't see you giving me rewards or compliments."
Shu Pinghui emerged from behind a gauze-enclosed table on the second floor, came to the table and sat down.
Wu Yaochen: "Don't you want to play today?"
Shu Pinghui put her arms on the table and held her face in her hands: "It's just you two. Rongrong doesn't like listening to music, so I'm just lazy."
Wu Yaochen: "What about me?"
Shu Pinghui: "Tsk tsk tsk, are you here to listen to music?"
Wu Yaochen leaned back and raised his eyebrows in silence.
Jing Yingrong: "Does this store offer high remuneration?"
Shu Pinghui nodded: "Yeah, it's impressive! Thanks to finding this job, my bell has been repaired a long time ago. Here, look."
She stretched out her wrist in front of Jing Yingrong. The golden bell on her wrist swayed lightly, its clear sound was sweet, and the previously broken hole had disappeared.
"After the bell was repaired, I originally planned to stop doing it, but the store owner gave me too much," Shu Pinghui smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I thought that the next practice would require a lot of resources, so I decided to do it for a while longer. "
At this point, she thought about something, her smile suddenly fell, and she sighed: "Yin Xueze's salary is higher than mine. Alas, it's so irritating that people are more popular than others. I was the one who introduced him..."
Wu Yaochen smiled and said, "The workload of the Ling Chef is not comparable to yours."
Shu Pinghui held her face in her hands: "I know, I just can't help but feel a little bit unhappy."
Jing Yingrong: "Does he lack spiritual stones or contribution points?"
Shu Pinghui: "They are all missing. He said he spent all his spiritual stones on shopping and owed money to others. It's so strange, what did he do..."
Jing Yingrong and Wu Yaochen: "..."
Shu Pinghui stood up and said, "I won't call the waiter anymore. I'll go take a look at your order."
Wu Yaochen: "Are you sure you're not going to 'eat the food'?"
Shu Pinghui made a face at him and slipped downstairs like a puff of smoke.
As soon as she stepped forward, another figure appeared at the foot of the stairs.
"In front of the mirror——!"
Huo Xiumao almost bit his tongue again. He even felt a little bit skilled in it.
What made him even more speechless was that Wu Yaochen naturally added the word for him: "——generation."
"..."
After a short and awkward silence, Huo Xiumao laughed, walked over and sat down as if nothing had happened.
"I didn't expect you, wizard brother, to be here first. I came out from Mengxi to report the cultivation situation to the master, so I came a little late." He said the second half of the sentence to Jing Yingrong.
Jing Yingrong: "It's not too late, the food hasn't been served yet."
Huo Xiumao: "Master told me that Senior Sister Yu wants me to join her team. Jing... Junior Sister, have you discussed this with Senior Sister Yu in advance?"
Jing Yingrong nodded.
Huo Xiumao: "That's no problem. This is indeed more convenient."
At this time Shu Pinghui came upstairs carrying some dishes.
"There are still a few dishes being made. Yin Xueze told us to eat first - ha, Senior Brother Huo, you came just in time."
Huo Xiumao helped Shu Pinghui put the dishes on the table.
Shu Pinghui placed a small bowl of fragrant soup in front of Jing Yingrong: "This is a gift, Rongrong."
Wu Yaochen: "Why don't I have a share?"
Shu Pinghui: "Ask Yin Xueze."
Wu Yaochen: "..."
The four of them moved their chopsticks and chatted while eating. They mainly talked about cultivation-related topics, such as their respective cultivation progress.
Shu Pinghui and Wu Yaochen are now in the Golden Elixir Great Perfection state, as is Yin Xueze who is not here, and Huo Xiumao has just entered the late Golden Elixir stage.
Jing Yingrong ate her food quietly, rarely interrupting. No one raised any questions or expressed surprise about her Nascent Soul's cultivation. Only Shu Pinghui would occasionally cast a hesitant look, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
After a while, Yin Xueze came up with the remaining dishes. Seeing this, Shu Pinghui asked: "Although there are no guests, as the cook, you served the food yourself. Didn't the waiter ask you?"
Yin Xueze: "Asked."
Shu Pinghui: "Then what do you say?"
Huo Xiumao helped place the dishes again. Yin Xueze put the empty tray on another table, then sat upright in the chair and said coldly: "What do I need to say?"
"..." Shu Pinghui looked at the sky, imagining what kind of response the waiter would get, and then couldn't help but express her sympathy for the waiter: "Poor little junior brother."
Several people continued the topic just now.
"I originally planned to save up enough resources and then go into seclusion to attack the Nascent Soul after a while. However, I didn't expect that we would encounter something as big as a tide of beasts."
Shu Pinghui's tone was a little low.
Huo Xiumao: "If you accumulate enough, you can break through outside. Junior Sister Shu doesn't need to worry too much."
Shu Pinghui: "If it were before, I wouldn't be worried. But you all know the situation outside now. It's hard to say what you will encounter on the road."
Wu Yaochen picked up a chopstick and said, "Risk and opportunity often coexist, and you might encounter unexpected surprises."
"It makes sense. As soon as Yin Xueze and I leave, this store will probably close."
Shu Pinghui said, not looking at Yin Xueze who was concentrating on eating, but at Jing Yingrong who stopped using his chopsticks and looked thoughtful: "Rongrong, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking..." she said slowly, "We just want to get together and chat, why should we eat together?"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
Everyone stared at the dishes on the table in deep thought.
Finally, Wu Yaochen spoke: "A few of us got together and chatted, and we felt like we should have something to eat."
Huo Xiumao: "It's just a habit, that..."
Shu Pinghui: "The habit I developed when I was traveling in the mountains... It would be better if Senior Sister Yu was here too."
She said as she picked up a plate of meatballs.
At this time, footsteps sounded on the stairs.
Wu Yaochen: "Is it such a coincidence?"
Several people looked towards the stairs at the same time.
A familiar face came into view.
The other party looked at them with an astonished expression. However, there was another kind of shock on their faces.
The meatballs that had just been picked up fell back onto the plate. Shu Pinghui stuttered and said in disbelief: "Lan, Lan Chucui, is that you...?"
