The capital of the Central Plains.
The largest city on the entire continent, those who can survive here are almost all extraordinary individuals. Even those living on the outermost perimeter possess considerable skills and backgrounds. Stepping off the Sky Ship, countless towering buildings clustered here, resembling the skyscrapers he once knew on Earth in his eyes, only more magnificent in appearance and imbued with a more classical artistic atmosphere.
Su Yang was somewhat surprised, but since he had already activated a thousand years of memories in his mind, he wasn't particularly shocked by the scene before him.
On the contrary, Zhou Ke's eyes seemed to sparkle with curiosity as she stepped off the Sky Ship and into the city, just like a curious child.
If Zhou Ke had always acted like a boy before, after arriving in the capital, she began to resemble a girl more.
"Hey! Look over there, there are so many ghostly images!"
"Wow! What are those strange patterns in the sky? They look like a bridge."
"My god... selling spirit-level magic treasures at the entrance, that's amazing."
Every shop I passed, whether looking up or down, revealed something new and different from what I usually see and hear, especially the things they sold, which were completely different from what I had seen in Jiangdu.
Spirit-level items are almost everywhere and can be bought easily.
Earth-level treasures are expensive, but there are still quite a few of them. Some large high-rise buildings even display Heaven-level magical treasures as their display items, with prices that are practically astronomical!
This is only true in the capital city; if it were in a place like Jiangdu, such a business probably wouldn't survive the next day.
Su Yang just followed behind and strolled around casually.
The sheer size of the capital city was beyond his comprehension. He suddenly recalled a time when he was still on Earth, fresh out of high school, and had taken a spontaneous trip to a major city. It was during that trip that he first realized the vastness of a metropolis and how insignificant his own circumstances were.
At this moment, Zhou Ke came to Su Yang's side, his smile fading considerably, and asked, "By the way, the capital of Zhongzhou is so big, how should we find the person who made the poison?"
Su Yang shook his head with amusement and pointed to a large restaurant not far away, saying, "Let's not talk about these things for now. We've been traveling for two days, let's rest first."
Zhou Ke was a little nervous: "How can this be? My father doesn't have much time left. It took us two days to get here, and it will take another two days to get back. We can't possibly drag out the search for three days."
In fact, she still had some hope; what she didn't want to face was that she couldn't find the person who made the poison within three days.
After all, the capital city is so big, finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.
The Han family provided far too little information; they didn't even know what kind of poison her father had been given. The information they had was far too little.
However, Su Yang walked directly towards the restaurant, saying as he went, "Don't worry, instead of standing there thinking, we might as well eat and drink while brainstorming ideas."
Zhou Ke thought about it and it seemed that this reasoning made sense.
So she followed them.
The restaurant Su Yang was referring to was about four stories high, much shorter than some of the taller buildings around it. But its advantage lay in its size! It occupied a large area and was frequented by many elegantly dressed people, so it must be one of the better restaurants in the capital.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, a neatly dressed man approached and bowed respectfully to Su Yang.
"What would you two gentlemen like to eat and drink? Our Zuiyuxuan restaurant is quite famous in the capital." The man's face was full of smiles.
However, upon hearing this greeting, Su Yang couldn't help but laugh.
Two young masters?
What the waiter said was true.
Zhou Ke, who was behind them, also heard this and saw Su Yang laugh. She was a little annoyed: "Which eye of yours sees me as a man? I'm a woman, a woman!"
The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm so sorry! I was blind and offended you, Miss. Please forgive me. As compensation, Zuiyuxuan can give you a 30% discount on your bill today."
30% off!
Hearing this, Zhou Ke felt much more at ease.
After all, this restaurant doesn't look cheap, and a meal here could easily cost a lot of spirit stones, so a discount would be the best option.
However, Su Yang didn't think so. In his eyes, if even a waiter had such authority, one could imagine how vast the restaurant's resources and capital were. To cater to the powerful and wealthy people in the capital, they didn't even need the manager to show up.
It seems he's come to the right place.
Led by the waiter, the two arrived at a table in a rather secluded corner. Su Yang wasn't dissatisfied with this kind of hospitality; there were only a few of them, and it was just a meal, so it was better to keep a low profile. Incidentally, Su Yang also ordered seven or eight of Zui Yu Xuan's signature dishes, large and small, which made the waiter beam with delight as he took notes.
He prayed in his heart that he hadn't offended these two gentlemen, otherwise he would have lost a huge sum of money.
Zhou Ke only showed a pained expression when the waiter went down to instruct the kitchen staff.
"Actually, I think we've ordered a bit too much. We cultivators can go ten days or half a month without eating without any problem. Ordering so much seems a bit extravagant and wasteful," Zhou Ke said softly.
She didn't dare to speak loudly, after all, the people here all looked very rich, and she was afraid that if she spoke out, she would be laughed at.
Hearing what Zhou Ke said, Su Yang found it somewhat amusing.
Anyway, it's not like she's paying for it, so what's there to be afraid of?
"You're supposed to be the future leader of the Demon Extermination Sect, so why are you being so stingy in this kind of situation?" Su Yang said with a smile.
