Luo Lingfeng and his group finally returned to Floating Cloud City. As they passed through a busy street, Luo Lingyue suddenly caught a whiff of the rich aroma of beef. She stopped and sniffed the air, then looked up and saw a seemingly ordinary little restaurant not far ahead.
A tattered sign hung beside the restaurant's doorframe, its words "Laowu Beef Restaurant" scribbled crookedly on it. Though the sign was nearly broken, it couldn't mask the alluring aroma of beef. As if by magic, the scent drifted through the crack in the door and filled the entire street.
Luo Lingyue's stomach began to growl. The aroma of beef piqued her appetite, and her saliva began to flow uncontrollably. She clutched Luo Lingfeng's sleeve tightly and said coquettishly, "Sixth Brother! I want to eat the food here! It smells so good!"
Luo Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh at his sister's greedy look. He patted Luo Lingyue's head and said generously, "Let's go! We just made some money, so we can go out for a big meal!" As he said that, he took Luo Lingyue's hand and walked into the small restaurant.
They walked into the beef restaurant and saw that every table was full of people, and the noise and aroma filled the entire space.
Luo Lingfeng raised his voice and shouted, "Boss! Are there any seats left?" However, the boss was too busy to pay any attention to them. He shouted impatiently, "No seats! Eating under the eaves! If you want to eat, come over and order! If not, get out!"
Luo Lingfeng was dumbfounded. He had never seen such an arrogant businessman in his life! This was simply disrespectful to customers! But perhaps because business was so good, the boss didn't care if he lost one or two customers.
Helplessly, Luo Lingfeng could only grit his teeth and think to himself that he should endure it for the time being. After all, there was delicious food in front of him, and he couldn't miss the opportunity to taste it just because of a momentary anger.
Luo Lingyue said nonchalantly, "Just eat while standing! What's wrong with that?"
At the same time, Luo Lingfeng struggled to squeeze through the crowded crowd, walked straight to the boss, and shouted loudly: "Bring out all your best dishes!"
Upon hearing this, the boss glared at us and responded unhappily, "I only have beef here! How do you want it cooked? Braised, stewed, stir-fried, cold-mixed, marinated or grilled?" He asked questions in rapid succession, making it difficult for people to keep up.
Luo Lingfeng suddenly raised his voice and roared, "We want everything! There are six of us, just arrange the dishes as you see fit!"
The boss was startled and muttered to himself: Wow, this guy is even more aggressive than me! The boss rubbed his hands on his apron a few times, turned around and yelled at the guy next to him: "Hurry up! Move those door panels under the eaves and give them a seat!"
The waiter frantically found a few wooden stools to prop up the door, then quickly brought over several pots of food. He said apologetically, "My apologies, gentlemen. Space is limited in our small shop, so please make do with what you have."
Luo Lingfeng waved his hand and shouted, "Bring a few more jars of wine!"
When all the food and drinks were served, they all began to devour the food. Luo Lingyue kept praising the food as she ate, "It really is true that delicious food is found among the people! This tastes absolutely amazing!"
Luo Lingfeng shouted into the beef restaurant, "Boss, give me two more pounds of braised beef, and pack it up for me to take away!"
Then he looked at Luo Lingyue and said, "We still have to bring some back for Prince Xiao to try!"
After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, Luo Lingfeng contentedly carried the paper bag of braised beef, humming an unknown tune. He then returned to Tianxiang Tower with the others.
As soon as he entered Tianxiang Tower, Luo Lingfeng couldn't wait to go up to the third floor and asked the guard, "Where is Prince Xiao?"
The guard replied respectfully, "The prince has gone to bed."
Upon hearing this news, Luo Lingfeng couldn't help but frown, but soon relaxed. He thought to himself, "If that's the case, then I won't bother him." Then, he handed the braised beef to the guards and said with a smile, "This is a delicacy I brought back specially. Try it, it's delicious!"
The guards hurriedly expressed their gratitude, while Luo Lingfeng, still a little drunk, staggered back to his room and fell asleep.
However, not long after, Luo Lingfeng suddenly woke up! A thought flashed through his mind - Oops! He had actually forgotten what his third brother had told him!
So he hurriedly got up, called his followers to come over, and anxiously ordered: "You must ride as fast as you can and deliver this letter to Mr. Shen in Jiangning! Remember, it must be delivered as soon as possible! Don't delay!" After that, he held the important letter tightly in his hand, praying secretly in his heart that everything would go well.
In the mysterious and forbidden area of the Holy Sword Sect, a man in a black robe sat quietly beside Mu Nantian's bed. He exuded an unfathomable aura, as if blending seamlessly with the surroundings. Mu Hongxiu and the Great Elder stood respectfully by, not daring to make a sound.
The black-robed man's voice was deep and powerful. "Uncle Mu has gone to Youli Country and won't be back anytime soon. Luo Lingfeng is Uncle Mu's direct disciple. I learned that Luo Lingfeng had come to Floating Cloud City. Given his personality, he would definitely come to rescue Uncle Mu! Fortunately, Uncle Mu is now safe!"
After hearing this, Mu Hongxiu bit her lower lip and said angrily, "Young Master! That Luo Lingfeng is simply a lawless guy!"
The Great Elder secretly tugged at Mu Hongxiu's sleeve, signaling her not to act rashly. Then, turning to the black-robed man, he said, "Young Master, Luo Lingfeng has discovered that the Sect Master was poisoned by the kudzu vine from the Youli Nation. He also said that this type of kudzu vine is extremely difficult to preserve!"
The black-robed man's eyes turned icy cold, seemingly able to penetrate a person's soul. "Ge poison? As far as I know, the prince secretly planted this poison!"
When Mu Hongxiu heard this, she was immediately furious: "Young Master! Why did the prince poison my father? What is the conspiracy behind this?" Her voice was full of anger and confusion, and tears flashed in her eyes.
The black-robed man lowered his voice and spoke seriously, "The Crown Prince is merely seeking to leverage the power of the martial arts world! You must thoroughly investigate every single person in the sect and eliminate all the spies the Crown Prince has planted!"
Mu Hongxiu suddenly interrupted, "Young Master! When I sparred with Luo Lingyue today, I noticed her exceptional martial arts skills! Furthermore, she seemed to have come into contact with my sword style before! How could she possibly dismantle our Holy Sword Sect's unparalleled sword technique, 'Sword Heart Universe'?"
The black-robed man was shocked when he heard this: "Sword Heart Huanyu? Are you sure she can dismantle it?"
At this moment, the Great Elder's expression grew grave. "Young Master! Luo Lingyue is indeed capable of catching and dismantling the Young Lady's sword moves! While the Young Lady's 'Sword Heart Universe' isn't as powerful as yours, Young Master, she certainly wouldn't be defeated by Luo Lingyue in less than twenty moves!"
The black-robed man was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Luo Lingyue...what a surprise!"
