"Why should I be moved?" Chen Sui said unhappily, "I can't even sympathize with you, yet you still want me to be moved."
Shen Xinglan pretended to cry: "There's no love anymore. I thought you would be very touched because I chose to trust you."
Chen Sui: "...Brother, do you know what we are now?"
Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows: "What's the big deal?"
"It's bad luck for both of us," Chen Sui said expressionlessly, "The two of us have 1,600 tricks in our hands. You'll have half and I'll have half. Let's see who can outsmart the other."
Shen Xinglan smiled: "It's quite impressive."
Chen Sui said indignantly: "Let's not be polite, let's just show our cards."
"What's the point of revealing? Are we both not good people?" Shen Xinglan took a sip of tea lazily.
Shen Sui: “…”
"Okay, if it's not good, then it's not good. What do you want to eat?" Shen Xinglan pointed at the menu in his hand. "Crab stuffed with orange? Candied plum blossoms? Shanjia Three Crisps? Or Xuexia Soup?"
The names of these dishes made Shen Sui's mouth water. She thought carefully for a moment, then raised her hand like a primary school student: "Can I have them all?"
Shen Xinglan smiled: "I guessed you would say that. I've already hooked it all."
Shen Sui was very moved. She was about to say something when Shen Xinglan interrupted her: "Come on, you are so moved now."
Shen Sui: “…”
Before he could finish his heartfelt words, Shen Xinglan cut him off.
While waiting for the exquisite dishes to arrive, Shen Xinglan, who was leaning against the window, let out a cry of "Huh?" Shen Sui, who was pouring wine, raised his head to look at him when he heard Shen Xinglan's voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I saw the senior sister," Shen Xinglan said, "but she went into Jubaoxuan."
"Jubaoxuan?" Chen Sui took a sip of the sake that had just been poured. It tasted light and not very strong. It might have been mixed with water.
"It's a place where rare treasures from all over the world are sold at clearly marked prices." Although Shen Xinglan only explained it in one sentence, Shen Sui understood it.
"So, Senior Sister, what do you want to buy?" Chen Sui also leaned over to the window and saw Jubaoxuan opposite Xiangman Pavilion.
There were a fair number of cultivators coming and going in front of Jubaoxuan, but most of them were in a hurry. Shen Xinglan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe they're selling something. Let's go and take a look after we finish eating."
Shen Sui nodded.
After a table full of delicacies was served, Shen Sui was about to start eating when he heard an argument in the stairwell not far away.
"Eat quickly." Shen Xinglan suddenly urged.
Hearing Shen Xinglan's words, Shen Sui hurriedly gobbled up the food like a whirlwind. Even Shen Xinglan, who tried to remind her, was stunned by her eating habits.
Just as Shen Sui picked up another piece of sweet and sour meat with her chopsticks, she looked up and saw Shen Xinglan staring at her blankly. Shen Sui asked curiously, "Brother, why aren't you eating yet? What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
Shen Xinglan: “…”
He didn't even know how to pick up his chopsticks.
At this moment, the quarrel in the stairwell was getting closer and closer to the private room where Shen Sui and Shen Xinglan were. So Shen Sui ate with even more relish while chewing on the pig's trotters he had just picked up, listening to the quarrel outside the sliding door becoming clearer and clearer.
"Why can't I, a disciple of the Feixing Sect, sit in a private room?!"
"What? You said the private rooms on the second floor are full?! I can see there are still many empty rooms!!"
"Booking the entire theater??? I, Hao Mengmeng, have never suffered such injustice!"
“…”
The sliding door was suddenly opened, and the frightened Shen Sui accidentally spilled the small bowl of white jade mushroom soup he had just scooped onto the visitor.
The man who came was wearing a cloud-like brocade robe, but he was splashed with the white jade mushroom soup. He widened his eyes, but Shen Sui, who "accidentally" splashed him, had an innocent look on his face. The next second, the man wailed.
“Ouch—”
Shen Xinglan silently glanced at the man who was splashed with white jade mushroom soup by Chen Sui. He twitched and danced with his hands and feet at the door of the private room, and then ate the apricot cheese pastry with a calm face.
Shen Sui admired it for a moment, and said amiably to the waiter standing outside the private room who didn't dare come in, "The service at Xiangman Pavilion is very good. We even had a talent show when we were almost done eating."
The waiter was about to cry: "Sir, I really can't stop you."
Hao Mengmeng looked at Shen Sui angrily: "Why did you splash me?"
"Because you scared me so much that my hand slipped." Chen Sui said righteously.
Hao Mengmeng was choked by Shen Sui's self-righteousness. He was speechless and could only point at Shen Sui, but his hands were shaking with anger: "You...you..."
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Shen Sui tilted his head and looked at him.
Hao Mengmeng almost lost his breath. He said angrily, "If you have the guts, tell me your name. Which sect are you from?"
"I won't change my name or surname," Chen Sui said proudly, puffing out his chest. "I am Luo Fanyin of the Yanshen Sect."
Shen Xinglan, who had just finished eating half of the apricot yogurt pastry, stopped.
"Okay, okay, Luo Fanyin, right? I'll remember you. Just wait for me. Even if you are from the Yanshen Sect, in a few days at the Immortal Discussion Conference, I'll see if my Feixing Sect can't kill you!" Hao Mengmeng said loudly.
Shen Xinglan raised his eyes and looked at Hao Mengmeng with a loving look that showed care for the mentally retarded.
Hao Mengmeng left angrily. The waiter kept apologizing and then closed the door of the box.
Shen Sui muttered: "My guess was right..."
"What do you mean?" Shen Xinglan finished his apricot yogurt pastry and gave a new one to Shen Sui.
Chen Sui took over: "Except for the disciples of Yanshen Sect, everyone has only heard of Luo Fanyin's name, but has never seen Luo Fanyin in person."
Shen Xinglan said helplessly, "So you just gave Luo Fanyin's name? Aren't you afraid that Luo Fanyin will find out and target you?"
"I just want her to target me," Chen Sui said, chewing the apricot cheese pastry without looking up. "Just now, after this inexplicable person rushed in, I thought of this brilliant idea. If Luo Fanyin didn't target me, I would be worried."
Otherwise, how would she see the man who stood next to Luo Fanyin at that time again?
Chen Sui swallowed the chewed apricot cheese pastry with an expressionless face, and when she saw... she would have to kill that person.
Shen Xinglan kept looking at her steadily, but Shen Sui didn't dare to look at him. Instead, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, don't worry, I can't hurt Luo Fanyin. Whether she kills me or not is still a matter of time..."
"Chen Sui, look up at me." Shen Xinglan took a deep breath and said with a look of regret.
Chen Sui raised his head and muttered, "I do want to cause trouble for her, but if you want to deal with me, could you please consider our brotherly relationship..."
But when she met Shen Xinglan's eyes, the words she had yet to finish suddenly stopped.
