Even Su Yang's lips twitched.
He'd seen people eat fast, but never this fast! He stuffed the meat in his mouth and the bones immediately popped out – was he some kind of human bone-removing machine?
The waiter didn't dare say anything and went back to get more food, though he was a little uneasy.
He'd been a waiter here for so many years, and this was the first time he'd ever seen someone eat so quickly. What's even more outrageous is that this person was a woman.
My mind is filled with what I find outrageous.
After the waiter left, Zhou Ke realized something was amiss, and her pretty face flushed slightly: "I usually have very little time to cultivate at home, so I have to eat quickly. This food is quite delicious."
Su Yang's lips twitched: "I understand, I understand."
What do you know?
I didn't eat a single bite!
Su Yang shook his head with a wry smile. Luckily, he had ordered enough dishes. Besides, he wasn't just here to eat.
Perhaps having witnessed Zhou Ke's terrifyingly fast eating speed, the waiter served the dishes very quickly this time, bringing out the remaining six dishes in no time, and then bowed very politely.
"Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests! However, regarding the cost..." the waiter said somewhat awkwardly.
There's no way around it, Zhou Ke's eating manner is too horrifying, it's hard not to think that she's the kind of person who would dine and dash.
Here, you usually pay at the end of the meal, but Su Yang and his companion were unfamiliar faces, and they ate like country bumpkins. The meal was also quite expensive, so they felt a little uneasy.
Su Yang nodded aptly and asked, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean. Just tell me the total cost here."
The waiter felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and said happily, "This gentleman is so generous! The total bill for this table is 1,400 spirit stones. We agreed on a discount beforehand, so let's round it down to 1,000 spirit stones."
"A thousand spirit stones?!"
Suddenly, Zhou Ke, who was sitting opposite, stared at Xiao Er with his mouth full of food, his eyes wide and his face full of disbelief.
The waiter had never seen such an unreserved woman before. His lips twitched as he said, "Yes...yes."
Seeing that Zhou Ke seemed to want to say something, Su Yang stopped her with one hand and instead touched his storage bag.
But just as he reached out his hand, he realized something.
He doesn't have any spirit stones at all!
Su Yang was embarrassed, but still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Oh no, I forgot to bring spirit stones. Can I use spirit pills or talismans as collateral?"
The waiter seemed a little confused, scratching his head as he said, "Sure, but the minimum requirement is a spirit-grade pill; we won't accept anything lower."
Su Yang smiled and said, "That's good."
He doesn't have any elixirs below the Spirit grade yet.
As he was speaking, Su Yang casually flipped his hand, and dozens of bottles of elixirs and a thick layer of talismans appeared on the table.
Seeing this, the waiter was somewhat stunned. Could this be a young master from some aristocratic family in the capital? He wasn't carrying spirit stones, but instead so many spirit pills and talismans. This was too outrageous!
Then, he opened a jade bottle, poured out a elixir, and sniffed it.
"Excellent!" the waiter exclaimed.
Top-grade elixirs are those refined to have stronger medicinal properties and can be stored for a longer period of time. Usually, the price of such elixirs can be tripled!
This young man is no ordinary person!
The waiter quickly placed the elixir into the jade bottle and said with a smile, "This young master is truly generous! These elixir are more than enough."
As he spoke, the waiter took a storage bag from his waist and absorbed the elixir directly into the bag.
Zhou Jian noticed that Xiao Er also had a storage bag, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
In Jiangdu, storage bags are almost exclusively possessed by members of the management level of each sect. Yet here in the capital, even an ordinary waiter in a restaurant possesses one. No wonder it is the largest city on the continent.
Seeing the young man hand over the elixir, Su Yang pushed the talisman aside and said, "You can take this one too."
The waiter seemed a little confused and said with a smile, "Young master, the money is already enough. These talismans are already overpriced even at their original price. If I accept them, the boss will blame me."
Su Yang smiled and said, "This isn't for nothing. I have some things I need to ask you about."
Upon hearing this, a look of pride immediately appeared on the waiter's face.
Then, the waiter confidently patted his chest and said, "This young master has excellent eyesight. In the capital, I've seen and heard everything from the Emperor's thoughts to the most mundane matters. In short, you've come to the right person for your questions!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ke slowed down her eating, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
So, eating here was also a way to search for clues?
But this is a restaurant; how would they know where the person making the poison is?
Su Yang nodded: "That would be best. What I really wanted to ask you is, in this capital city, who is the most ruthless in refining poisons, the kind that even a Taixu Realm expert cannot resist?"
Su Yang spoke softly, but his voice was cold.
Even the waiter couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this, perhaps out of lingering fear of a poison that even those at the Taixu Realm couldn't resist.
I thought the waiter would think for a long time, but to my surprise, he quickly said, "Young master, you're looking for the Myriad Gu Sect? But I still advise you, the Myriad Gu Sect is ruthless and they're exceptionally good at negotiating in the capital. No one dares to provoke them, and no one wants to provoke them. As a result, both poisons and antidotes are extremely expensive, especially the antidotes they create, which are astronomically priced!"
Su Yang said calmly, "How can you be so sure it's the Myriad Gu Sect?"
The waiter chuckled, “The most skilled poison master in the entire capital is the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. They’ve taken down all the other poison masters. A poison that can leave even a Taixu Realm expert with no strength to resist must be the work of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke immediately said, "No matter how expensive it is, we have to buy it!"
The waiter chuckled and looked at Zhou Ke, saying, "Judging from your appearance, someone in your family must have been poisoned by the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. Alas, if you two really want to go to the Ten Thousand Gu Sect to seek an antidote, I hope you are mentally prepared."
Zhou Ke clenched her fists tightly.
Having finally seen a glimmer of hope, she would never stop here, no matter how high the price, she was willing to try!
Su Yang nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can go now."
After saying that, Su Yang stuffed the stack of talismans into Xiao Er's hands.
The waiter was overjoyed and nodded frantically, saying, "Thank you so much, young master! I wish you all the best!"
After saying that, the waiter hurriedly ran back, as if afraid that the large sum of money he had obtained would be targeted by others.
After learning about the situation, Su Yang felt relieved and started eating.
"Hmm! Not bad, this dish has a unique flavor."
"Huh? Why aren't you eating? Are you already full?"
