Jiang Yuan said this because he wanted to find information about the Sage at Huasheng Academy. His identity was too sensitive and might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, so he asked Gu Anlei for help.
As for why he wanted to find a beautiful and powerful woman, he had also considered it. Judging from the life soul that Ning Yanlan transformed into after her fall, the clones that the companion god split off from must not be just Ning Yanlan. In other words, there are other similar clones. So as long as he finds a clue, the identity of the saint will appear sooner or later.
"Food and sex are human nature. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Jiang Yuan put away his bow and arrows.
"Weren't we supposed to set up a stall?" Gu Anlei asked, somewhat bewildered, holding a broom.
"It's almost dark, and I don't have the habit of making my employees work overtime! Besides, even if I wanted to set up a stall, how could I have the energy to do it if I wasn't full?"
Jiang Yuan stretched and left, and Gu Anlei quickly followed.
"Are you sure this is the most upscale restaurant in Huasheng Academy?" Jiang Yuan looked at the deserted restaurant in front of him with suspicion. It was an ancient-style restaurant called Shixiang Pavilion.
Gu Anlei nodded repeatedly. After reading the reviews of the store on her smart device several times, she confirmed, "It's precisely because it's high-end that there are fewer people!"
"But don't worry, this place will definitely feel high-class, and the people who come here to eat are usually social elites. Since you like young ladies so much, this place will definitely be your favorite!" Gu Anlei tempted her gently.
"Looks like you're trying to rip me off with this meal!" Jiang Yuan glared at Gu Anlei, annoyed. This woman must have deliberately chosen the best restaurant today.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. I've known her for over half a month, and I haven't really formally invited her to dinner yet.
"You're a rich man, you should take care of us ordinary folks!"
Gu Anlei put away her smart device and walked into the Shixiang Pavilion with great joy, followed closely by Jiang Yuan.
Are you two here for dinner?
A young woman who looked like she was working part-time at the college greeted me sweetly.
Jiang Yuan joked, "Is there some other special activity besides eating here?"
"Uh!" The younger sister didn't react at first.
"You're being indecent!"
Seeing this, Gu Anlei rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuan, then said, "Beautiful lady, please arrange a private room for us! We'd prefer a quiet one; we don't like being disturbed!"
As soon as Gu Anlei finished speaking, several pairs of eyes suddenly swept towards the two of them.
"Look, aren't these two cadets sent by the military? I remember they said that military personnel only get a fixed salary. How come these two have savings to eat at Shixiang Pavilion? Aren't they afraid of going bankrupt?"
"You still think it's like before? Now, as long as you have the ability, you'll never have to worry about money!"
"That's true!"
Gu Anlei shrugged. That was why she wanted a private room; there were too many people gossiping about her outside.
Jiang Yuan had no objections. In this territory that might belong to a saint, he would try to keep a low profile as much as possible.
"I'm so sorry, today is the day of Huasheng Academy's admissions, and all the private rooms have already been booked!" The waitress still blushed a little when she looked up at Jiang Yuan.
"There don't seem to be many people at the entrance!" Jiang Yuan wondered.
The waitress explained, "Because our Ten Fragrance Pavilion has a short-distance teleportation array, most customers come directly by taking the teleportation array to avoid the hassle!"
"How ignorant!" Jiang Yuan laughed self-deprecatingly. He hadn't expected that the Earth would change so much in just a few years.
"Should we go to another restaurant?" Gu Anlei asked Jiang Yuan after glancing at the lobby, which didn't have many empty seats.
"We're starving, why would we want to change? Besides, isn't this the only place at Huasheng Academy that serves 'Ten Dishes, Ten Fragrances'? We'll miss out on this delicious food." Jiang Yuan didn't really want to change. They'd already found a place, there was no point in changing now.
"Would you two like to share a private room or sit in the main hall?" the waitress asked.
"Just find a place to eat!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand casually.
"Friends, are you also sent by the military to learn?"
The waitress had just found a table for the two of them when she turned around and saw a group of seven or eight men in front of her.
"Who are you?" Gu Anlei looked at the people in front of her with a puzzled expression. Because she came to Huasheng Academy for further studies and represented the military, she had been wearing a jacket with military insignia before she came, so it was normal for her to be recognized.
"My name is Kong Chi, a first-rank officer in the Kungu Defense Zone!" The talkative young man warmly extended his hand to Gu Anlei.
"Hello, I...I am Gu Anlei!" Gu Anlei was a little shy when facing others, and did not act as carefree as she did in front of Jiang Yuan.
"You're here for dinner too? That's perfect. We're all comrades who came from all over the country. Why don't we eat together?" Kong Chi awkwardly put down the hand he hadn't managed to shake.
“I think this is a private gathering, it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to join!” Jiang Yuan could tell at a glance who the real soldiers were, while several of the other party were clearly not soldiers, as they didn’t have a trace of killing intent on them.
“Yes, let’s eat by ourselves!” Gu Anlei also politely declined. Just kidding, how could eating with you guys be as luxurious as eating with Jiang Yuan?
"How could that be? We're all comrades-in-arms, there's no question of good or bad! Besides, we booked a large private room beforehand, enough to seat more than a dozen people. Look, we only have seven or eight people, so with the two of you, we can make a table!" Kong Chi said enthusiastically. Clearly, he had a good impression of Gu Anlei and wanted to take this opportunity to get to know her.
“Yes, it’s my treat today, everyone can just eat whatever they want!” A young man in a black Tang suit nodded, looking quite amiable.
"It's fate that we've all come together, so let's not waste this deep camaraderie!" Kong Chi advised.
"Jiang Yuan, how about..." Gu Anlei was a little overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm. She was a young girl and was easily embarrassed, so she couldn't refuse when the other party pulled her like this.
"It doesn't matter where we eat, let's eat together!"
