The city of Beihefang had been besieged by the Yinmo Sect for more than half a year, resulting in a shortage of all resources.
Of course, Beihefang City is a place where resources are concentrated and gathered. It has no shortage of resources in all aspects of cultivation, enough to sustain it for a long time.
This is mainly reflected in various daily necessities; many areas have now been leveled for farming...
Thus, Hongfulou lost its former glory, offering mostly ordinary food. The supply of spirit tea and spirit wine remained unchanged. The signature spirit beast meat, spirit rice, and other spirit dishes were no longer available. Even if some remained, they were presumably reserved for entertaining important figures.
However, over the years, Hongfulou has long been a signature restaurant in Beihefang City.
While most restaurants and shops have closed down, Hung Fook Lou remains standing and has become much busier.
Because of its elegant environment and beautiful scenery, and the low cost of living (it's mostly ordinary food, with the exception of the expensive spiritual tea), many people come here in their spare time to make up for the regret of not being able to enter in the past due to the high cost.
Old Qin greeted him warmly, his smile and enthusiasm making Lin Xiuyuan feel somewhat uncomfortable, and a strange suspicion arose in his heart.
In his second life, Lin Xiuyuan was considered a golden bachelor in his previous life, so he had encountered such situations more than once or twice.
One glance was enough to tell what that smile and enthusiasm meant.
I never expected to encounter a blind date after arriving in the world of cultivation...
But why?
This kind of thing happening so suddenly seems a bit too inexplicable, doesn't it?
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't quite understand Qin Lao's thoughts.
However, I never expected Old Master Qin to look like this... but your daughter is so beautiful!
"Xiuyuan is here? Come, please take a seat. This is my daughter, Suwan."
Old Qin greeted Lin Xiuyuan warmly, took his hand, and walked forward together.
"Suwan, this is the Lin Fu Master I often mention to you. He's only in his early twenties, yet he's already a high-level Fu Master, and he's even mastered a level higher than his own. He's also a little genius who could break into the late stage of Qi Refining at any time."
Qin Suwan nodded calmly and indifferently, which was her way of greeting.
At that moment, a nameless fire surged within her.
In recent days, Old Qin had been frequently mentioning this Lin Fu Master in her ear, and she immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Looking at this scene now, how could one not understand what happened?
Old Qin originally said he came out to have a good meal and relax, but it seems he tricked her...
"Master Lin, please don't mind her. That's just how my personality is."
Old Master Qin knew Qin Suwan's temperament, so he remained calm and smiled as he spoke.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan felt inexplicably relieved. He had been extremely resistant to such things, so he naturally wouldn't mind.
Lin Xiuyuan's smile remained unchanged as he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Miss Qin. My surname is Lin, and my given name is Xiuyuan. I have worked with your father for many days and have heard many times that Miss Qin has a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in history. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved; she is truly a beauty that could topple kingdoms."
"Hmm!" Qin Suwan replied indifferently, her face expressionless and extremely cold.
Old Qin shook his head and smiled wryly, then quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Hehe, yes, Master Lin has long admired you, Su Wan. It just so happens that he lives next door to us. What a coincidence! It's truly wonderful. You should get to know each other better in the future."
At this moment, Old Qin looked at Lin Xiuyuan, then at Qin Suwan, and his smile grew wider.
I really hope this can work out...
That way, I might be able to put my mind at ease!
He was quite satisfied with Lin Xiuyuan's character and conduct.
In such a chaotic situation, having a high-level talisman master to support each other might allow us to weather this storm safely.
Moreover, it was Lin Xiuyuan, a prodigy in the Dao of Talismans.
Judging from his appearance, he is quite qualified and perfectly suited to be his daughter, complementing each other perfectly!
Although he knew that Lin Xiuyuan lived with a girl, he had already inquired about it and found out that it was just something his sworn brother had asked him to do.
Furthermore, he's just a martial artist; there's no comparison. Given Lin Xiuyuan's intelligence, unless he's completely out of his mind, he certainly wouldn't give up pursuing his exceptionally talented daughter because of that mortal.
"Come on, don't be shy, the dishes will be served shortly. Although Hongfulou is not the same as before, the original chef team is still there. Even the ordinary dishes are varied and delicious. Especially this spirit wine, it is as good as ever, a fine nectar."
Old Qin chuckled and tried to liven up the atmosphere, not in a hurry to make a move, only wanting the two to get to know each other a little better before discussing anything else!
But clearly, Qin Suwan had no such intention. After having a drink with Old Master Qin, she stood up and left the table without waiting for all the dishes to be served.
"Father, Master Lin, I have some urgent business to attend to and must take my leave first. I apologize."
Having said that, he left without waiting for Old Qin to say anything to persuade him to stay.
Seeing this, Old Qin shook his head and smiled wryly, then turned around, forcing a smile, and said:
"Master Lin, please don't mind her, that's just how my daughter is."
Then, a hint of apology appeared on Old Qin's face. "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I didn't mean to trick you into coming here. I probably anticipated this outcome, so I didn't explain it clearly."
"The dishes have just been served, and the wine is still full. Why don't we have a drink together, and congratulate you on your successful advancement to a high-level talisman master? I'll send a message to the Fire Talisman Master to see if she's free to come."
Lin Xiuyuan poured him a full glass of wine, shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, I should thank Elder Qin for his high regard, I am truly flattered. Since we are not destined to be together, we cannot force it, so let it be."
