The waiter trotted along and quickly brought the braised beef, crispy chicken, and steamed fish to the table. The aroma of the food filled Jia Zhi's nose, tantalizing his taste buds.
Jia Zhi's face was gloomy, and he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised beef. However, Jia Xiong glared at him and quickly knocked the braised beef off Jia Zhi's chopsticks with his own chopsticks.
Jia Zhi's face was filled with anger. He had paid for this, and now he couldn't even eat a piece of meat? But Jia Xiong said with concern, "Your skin disease hasn't healed yet, so you can't eat braised beef!"
Jia Zhiqiang suppressed his dissatisfaction and reached for a crispy chicken drumstick with his chopsticks again. But Jia Xiong snatched the drumstick from his chopsticks without any hesitation and started to eat it.
Jia Zhi was furious. He gripped his chopsticks tightly, nearly breaking them. But remembering the Sect Master's instructions, he had no choice but to swallow his anger. He took a deep breath and reached for the steamed fish again.
At this time, Jia Xiong said with a long face: "Fish is a hairy food, it is harmful to your body! Don't eat it!"
The anger in Jia Zhi's heart was about to erupt like a volcano. He stared at Jia Xiong with his eyes wide open. However, he finally gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Jia Zhi saw that everyone at every table was eating delicious fish and meat with relish, and he couldn't help feeling very angry. Mu Jiaojiao and the others were also enjoying the delicious dishes with everyone in the martial arts world.
He suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Then what can I eat?"
Jia Xiong glanced at him indifferently, then unhurriedly pushed a plate of vegetables in front of him and said lazily, "Eating vegetables is good for your physical and mental health!"
Jia Zhi's anger was instantly ignited. He gripped his chopsticks tightly and poked the vegetables on the plate fiercely, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction on the vegetables.
Jia Xiong didn't care at all. He gnawed on the chicken leg while muttering, "Don't poke the plate, or you'll have to pay for it!"
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms, feeling satisfied and well-fed. Mu Jiaojiao was overjoyed because she had successfully obtained three guest rooms from the gangsters!
Mu San and Shang Lu came to the room of Dark Moon Fairy and Shang Zhi. Shang Zhi looked at her brother, who was originally a burly man, but now dressed up as a singer, and couldn't help but feel that it was a bit funny!
Mu San said seriously, "Pavilion Master, we've heard that these people from the Jianghu are all going after Princess Nanzhi! The price of Anhua has increased again today!"
Dark Moon Fairy scratched her cheek lightly and asked curiously, "How much has the Dark Flower grown?"
Mu San held up two fingers, his tone somewhat excited: "Twenty thousand taels of gold!"
Dark Moon Fairy's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Oh my god! So many! Why don't we just go get the Dark Flower!"
Mu San's expression instantly turned ugly. He said anxiously, "Pavilion Master, this won't do! If we do this, how will the Dark Moon Pavilion survive in the martial arts world?"
Shang Lu also advised anxiously, "Master Dark Moon, we have already accepted the task of protecting Princess Nanzhi. We cannot change our mind overnight!"
Dark Moon Enchantress raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile. "That's all I said, and look how nervous you are. Any other news?"
Mu San hurriedly said, "I heard a piece of news that's very beneficial to us. Ten days from now, the Wu'an Palace in Nanyi will be celebrating Xiao Jingyi's birthday. We can use our identities as dancers to sneak into the city."
Dark Moon Fairy nodded slightly in agreement, "This is indeed a good time. Any news from Nanzhi?"
Shang Lu frowned and replied, "Princess Nanzhi was attacked by assassins at the border of Youli Country, and many of her guards were killed. They had no choice but to disguise themselves as merchants to enter Nanyi, but now Xiao Jingyi is hunting them down throughout the city, so they can't leave at all!"
Dark Moon Fairy was silent for a moment, her brow furrowed slightly, as if she were lost in thought. After a moment, she slowly spoke, "It seems the situation is more urgent than we imagined. We must hasten our journey to Nanyi!" Her voice was filled with a hint of determination and resolve.
Mu San and Shang Lu yawned at the same time, their faces a little embarrassed, as if they realized their own gaffe. The Pavilion Master was arranging important matters, and they were sleepy at this time, which made them feel a little embarrassed.
Shang Lu shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, but it only made him feel even more dizzy. Mu San also tried to stay awake, yawning profusely as he said, "Ah... Pavilion Master, let's go back to bed first! Call me if you need anything!" He said this while dragging his heavy feet, wishing he could lie down on the bed immediately.
Dark Moon Fairy's face darkened. She looked at Mu San and Shang Lu's departing backs without saying a word.
After Mu San and Shang Lu left, Shang Zhi frowned and said thoughtfully, "Something is wrong between my brother and Mr. Mu tonight!" Her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and concern.
Dark Moon Fairy snorted coldly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "They've simply had too much of a feast! As assassins, their vigilance is far too low!"
Shang Zhi suddenly realized that those delicious dishes had been drugged! She couldn't help but feel grateful. The Dark Moon Pavilion Master's caution and foresight allowed her to avoid this trouble.
Shang Zhi shouted anxiously, "Will my brother and the others be poisoned?" Her voice was full of worry and fear. She clenched her hands tightly together and looked at Dark Moon Fairy eagerly.
Dark Moon Enchantress glanced at her lightly, with a barely perceptible hint of mockery in her eyes: "Are you getting impatient now? Didn't you want to eat meat before? Don't worry! Your brother and the others will be fine, at most they will just fall asleep." Her tone was calm, but Shang Zhi could hear a hint of sarcasm in it.
Shang Zhi's heart was still hanging, and she immediately asked: "Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion, do you feel okay?" Her eyes revealed her concern for the Dark Moon Fairy, but also a hint of doubt.
Dark Moon Enchantress raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled: "Ha! I am immune to all poisons. This little drug is nothing to me." There was confidence and pride in her voice, as if she had absolute control over her body.
Shang Zhi felt a huge weight lifted off her chest after hearing Dark Moon Fairy's words. But then, her fury ignited. She gripped her sword tightly, gritting her teeth and angrily declared, "This is a shady shop! I'm going to kill them!" Her eyes were filled with rage and determination, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on those unscrupulous shop owners.
