"Please come in, guests." As the richly dressed Wang Han and Gui Na approached, the shopkeeper quickly came forward to greet them, gesturing for them to come inside while loudly announcing, "Distinguished guests have arrived."
"How many guests are there?" Upon hearing the call, another waiter immediately came over, asking with a beaming smile.
"Gentlemen, please arrange a private room for us and bring out all the best food and drinks," Wang Han said.
"Alright! Distinguished guests, please come upstairs." Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately led Wang Han and his companion upstairs, taking them to a small room on the second floor. He then hurried downstairs to prepare food for them, without asking any further questions. Perhaps it was because the two couldn't eat too much, and even if these high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants left a lot of food uneaten, they couldn't afford to. The other waiter returned to the door to continue serving.
Not long after Wang Han and his companion sat down in the small room on the second floor, the waiter returned with a tray full of dishes. As he placed the dishes on the table, he introduced the names of the dishes to the two of them.
'What kind of world is this? Could other time travelers have been here before?' Looking at the stir-fried dishes and soups that the waiter brought to the table, Wang Han couldn't help but ponder. There was no stir-frying in the Qin Dynasty, and he had clearly seen people selling roasted corn on the street just now. Corn was only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty.
"Waiter," Wang Han called out to the waiter.
"Honored guest, is there anything you need?" Upon hearing this, the waiter looked up and, seeing Wang Han frowning, quickly asked.
When Xiao Er's gaze was fixed on Wang Han, Wang Han's gaze also met Xiao Er's eyes. Illusion magic, combined with mental power, silently invaded Xiao Er's memory.
"It is indeed the Qin Dynasty." Three minutes later, Wang Han, who had read the waiter's memories, frowned even more. This dynasty was indeed the Qin Dynasty, but Wang Han did not get any more useful information from his memories. This waiter was just an ordinary person, how much could he know?
This was the first time Wang Han had ever encountered such a world.
"Honored guest, what can I do for you?" the waiter asked again. He was completely unaware that Wang Han had already read his memories.
"Call your boss over," Wang Han said, casually tossing out a ten-tael gold ingot.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest, I'll call the boss right away." Upon seeing the gold ingot that Wang Han tossed over, the waiter hurriedly caught it, bit it with his teeth to test its authenticity, and then quickly went out.
"Brother Wang Han, what's wrong?" After the waiter left, Guina asked Wang Han curiously.
“This world is strange,” Wang Han said. “Some things shouldn’t exist in this world. This world might be much more dangerous than we imagine. Kuina, you need to be careful. If there is any danger that you can’t handle, immediately use the incantation I left behind to notify me.”
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Kuina nodded seriously.
"Boss, this is the distinguished guest who wants to see you." A few minutes later (the time in minutes is the protagonist's own measurement), the waiter brought the two people to the small room and said obsequiously to the boss.
Hearing the voice, Wang Han and Guina also looked up at the people who came in. One of them was a middle-aged fat man, who was also the boss mentioned by the waiter, and the other was a middle-aged swordsman dressed in plain clothes, holding a famous sword in his hand.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, Wang Han paused for a moment, then immediately used his identification pendant to examine the man.
A single glance from Wang Han sent a chill down Gai Nie's spine. His muscles tensed instinctively, and his sword was already half-drawn from its sheath. The other man's single look gave him the feeling that he was completely exposed, as if he were standing naked before him. Gai Nie didn't know if the other man was stronger than him, but he knew that the other man's experience far surpassed his own.
After identifying the middle-aged swordsman, Wang Han smiled. His doubts were resolved, and the world he had been searching for finally became clear: it was Qin's Moon. "Gai Nie."
"Who are you?" Gai Nie forced back his urge to attack and asked.
"This distinguished guest, I wonder..." The restaurant owner, seeing the tense atmosphere between Gai Nie and Wang Han, prepared to speak up to ease the tension.
"You two can leave now." Wang Han glanced at the two casually, and the next moment, the two walked out without saying a word, looking dazed, and closed the door behind them.
'This man's charm is truly powerful.' Upon seeing this, Gai Nie became even more vigilant, and dared not sheath his sword.
"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm. Please sit down," Wang Han said with a smile, gesturing to the seat opposite Gai Nie. "Perhaps we'll even become friends for a while in the future."
"Now you can tell me who you are, right?" Hearing this, Gai Nie had no choice but to sit down and ask again. He still dared not sheath his sword.
“Wang Han, just a traveler,” Wang Han said with a smile. “I’ve heard that your master is Guiguzi. Guiguzi, the successive leaders of the Guigu School, were almost all top talents in the world. The Guigu School also has unique insights in astronomy, geography, astrology, and martial arts that are different from other schools. The sea of knowledge is boundless. I have always held a lofty attitude towards knowledge and skills, whether it is the Guigu School or other schools.”
“If you wish to see my master, I’m afraid you will be disappointed,” Gai Nie said. “I don’t know where my master is now, and the Guigu Sect does not allow outsiders to enter.”
Wang Han said, "I know some of the rules of your Guigu School. I can wait for the next Guigu Master."
"I wonder if Mr. Gai Nie has found the person he is looking for?" Wang Han asked.
"You jest, sir. I'm not looking for anyone," Gai Nie said expressionlessly, though inwardly he was churning with turmoil.
