"Little apprentice, would you like to eat here?"
Yu Qing was a little confused. His little apprentice hadn't been interested in any of the many restaurants with large families they'd encountered before, so why had he chosen this one in particular?
It wasn't that Yu Qing looked down on this restaurant, but it was deserted and no one came here, so there must be something wrong with the restaurant. Could the food here be good?
Otherwise, why don't the people in town come here to eat?
"Master, let's try the food here later, the places up ahead are too crowded!"
Lin Xue wasn't in a hurry to explain. She looked at all the private rooms on the second floor one by one, and then checked the main structure of the building.
When a tall, thin middle-aged man came to the second floor and opened the temporary door leading to the third floor, Lin Xue followed him up to the third floor.
It wasn't until the man went up to the third floor that he realized there was a little girl following him.
"Young lady, you must be the customer who just came in to order food, right?"
The middle-aged man asked politely, without showing any disrespect to Lin Xue because she was a young girl.
"Um, sir, are you the owner of this restaurant?"
Lin Xue nodded gently and continued walking up to the third floor.
"Yes, I am the owner of this restaurant!"
Perhaps because Lin Xue was a child, the boss did not kick her out.
Yu Qing was sitting in a private room downstairs, but his divine sense could see everything clearly.
He didn't know why his apprentice was doing this; maybe he was just curious and wanted to chat with the boss.
"Boss, I see that other shops are packed with people, so why is your restaurant so deserted?"
Lin Xue found a stool and sat down, then looked at the owner with curiosity.
"Alas, young lady, you are unaware of this!"
The boss didn't know what was wrong; perhaps he had been suppressing his frustrations for a while and couldn't share them with anyone.
Now that he's met such a cute little girl asking him questions, he has no intention of hiding anything.
Having finally found an outlet for his pent-up frustrations, he immediately poured out the whole story about the restaurant.
"The reason my restaurant is so deserted is all because I offended someone I shouldn't have."
In this family, there is an immortal from the Yunhai Sect.
Because this person was eating at my restaurant when the waiter accidentally bumped into him, he demanded that we compensate him for the restaurant's losses.
Little girl, you don't know.
This restaurant has been run by my grandfather's generation.
It fell into ruin just like that after it came into my hands, how can I accept this!
So I refused that person's unreasonable request. It was just a light bump, not a serious one, and I had already given them a free meal. But they didn't seem to intend to let me off the hook.
They've made it clear: anyone who dares to dine at my restaurant again will face retaliation from the Yunhai Sect!
The boss's eyes reddened as he spoke, which showed just how resentful he was.
"Boss, you're really unlucky!"
"They weren't bothered by your waiter at all; they were just trying to scam you! They probably planned to take over your restaurant for free, so they put on this whole show!"
"Besides, this place isn't far from the Cloud Sea Sect. Why didn't you think of going to the Cloud Sea Sect to try and find a solution?"
Lin Xue couldn't understand why this Willow Forest Town was supposed to exist under the guise of the Cloud Sea Sect.
The Yunhai Sect should restrain its disciples and should not engage in such acts of misappropriating other people's property.
"Who said I didn't go? I've been there several times. Unfortunately, I was stopped each time by a steward from the outer sect!"
"And this person is the family member of the Yunhai Sect that the other person mentioned. We can't even get through the door. We have no way to seek justice!"
The boss rubbed his face vigorously with his hand, then sighed deeply.
It seems there's absolutely nothing that can be done about the current situation.
"In that case, why don't you just sell the shop, uncle!"
"With money, it won't be difficult for you to open another restaurant in other places. These people can make things difficult for you in Liulin Town, do they think they can go to other places and continue to extort money from you?"
Looking at the gloomy-faced uncle, Lin Xue felt little sympathy.
That's just how the world is; it's a dog-eat-dog world.
Without any strength or background, being swallowed up by others is only a matter of time.
However, it is truly rare to see someone like the other party who tries to get something for nothing without spending a single penny.
Lin Xue also found this kind of forceful and extortionate behavior quite unacceptable.
"I've also thought about selling this restaurant and developing in other places."
Unfortunately, the sale announcement has been out for quite some time, and no one has come to discuss it yet!
This uncle was also helpless. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about selling his restaurant, but unfortunately, no one dared to buy it.
"Oh? So, uncle, this restaurant is for sale!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xue's eyes lit up. This was exactly what she wanted!
"Come, come, uncle, let's talk. How much are you planning to sell this restaurant for?"
Lin Xue immediately called out to the uncle, wanting to inquire about the restaurant's prices. If the price was right, she would definitely take the restaurant.
Others might be afraid of the person whose family has a manager from the outer sect of the Yunhai Sect.
Lin Xue isn't afraid!
You have to understand, she is Yu Qing's disciple. How can a disciple who is personally taught be the same as one who is in charge of miscellaneous affairs in the outer sect?
"Little girl, please don't joke with me, but it won't hurt to tell you!"
"My restaurant was originally worth around 17,000 or 18,000, but because I offended someone, even now that I've lowered the price to 12,000 or 13,000, no one wants to buy it!"
