Yinshan City Restaurant!
Tang Xuan picked up a bite of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his eyes lighting up.
"Hey, not bad!"
Although this restaurant is not a high-end place, the chef's skill level is only average.
But it has a completely different taste from the Xuan Realm.
Tang Xuan no longer needed to eat, but he did not give up his appetite.
In his view, eating is one of the basic human instincts, so why give it up and lose some of the joy?
Compared to his composure, Ding Qianyue appeared much more nervous.
With each bite of food, she carefully observed her surroundings.
There were quite a few people in the restaurant, but most of them were whispering, making it quite quiet.
Tang Xuan and Ding Qianyue chose a rather secluded spot, so no one paid much attention to it.
Suddenly, a huge commotion erupted from below the restaurant.
"Make way...make way, the Zhou family is on official business, don't block the way!"
"Those who block our way shall die. Don't blame the Zhou family for being ruthless then!"
"Arrest any suspicious individuals, a man and a woman, and take them back for thorough interrogation!"
"Seal the city gates, and don't let a single ant escape!"
The sounds of smashing and cursing rang out continuously.
This attracted frequent glances from the people in the restaurant.
Ding Qianyue's pretty face suddenly changed.
"Damn it, something's happened! I didn't expect the Zhou family to act so quickly. We're doomed!"
Once the city gates are sealed, they won't be able to escape.
Although Ding Qianyue could fly, she was too conspicuous in the air, and with Tang Xuan as a burden, flying was tantamount to courting death.
However, the Zhou family wields immense power in Yinshan City, making it difficult to hide.
In an instant, Ding Qianyue's smooth forehead was covered in cold sweat as she racked her brains for a strategy to escape.
"Hey, there's delicious food right in front of you, aren't you going to eat?"
Tang Xuan said slowly.
Ding Qianyue was feeling irritable and rolled her eyes when she heard this.
If it weren't for Tang Xuan's kindness to her, she would have run away long ago.
"Keep your voice down, can't you hear the Zhou family arresting us?"
Tang Xuan laughed and said, "I heard that!"
Ding Qianyue said, "Aren't you nervous? What if they find out about us?"
Tang Xuan shook his head and said, "Sometimes, avoidance is useless. It's better to face it head-on. That's more relaxing, don't you think?"
Ding Qianyue's lips twitched.
Is this even human language?
Face to face?
If each member of the Zhou family spat on them, both of them would drown.
Isn't this ridiculous?!
Below the restaurant, waves of Zhou family experts patrolled back and forth.
This has also sparked much discussion.
"What is the Zhou family doing? Have they gone mad?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't you know? Young Master Zhou has been crippled?"
"That spoiled brat? Good riddance! By crippling him, countless young women can be saved!"
"Who can argue with that! But think about it, the Zhou family head is extremely protective of his own. If his son is crippled, do you think he'll let the murderer go?"
"Tsk tsk, I wonder who the perpetrator is. Offending the Zhou family means certain doom!"
"That's right, you could say he was just unlucky. Given the Zhou family's track record, they were bound to get caught sooner or later!"
"..."
Inside the restaurant, everyone had lost their appetite for food and drink and began to whisper among themselves.
Ding Qianyue's hands, which were holding the chopsticks, were trembling.
She felt deep regret; if she hadn't stopped then, perhaps she would have already escaped.
As a result, Tang Xuan insisted on coming to eat, which led to the two of them being surrounded in Yinshan City.
It's like catching a turtle in a jar; they'll be discovered sooner or later.
Sometimes, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems.
All that could be heard was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs.
Seven or eight Zhou family warriors, wielding long sabers, strode forward with murderous intent.
The leader was none other than a powerful innate expert at the Gathering Peak Realm.
Most of the other Zhou family martial artists were also at the Innate Three-Flower Realm.
They gathered together, exuding an extremely powerful aura, causing the diners in the restaurant to panic and remain silent with their heads down.
The expert at the Gathering Peak Realm first looked around, then coldly shouted, "The Zhou family is here to capture the murderer. Now everyone, raise your heads and show your faces. Let's see if you are the murderer!"
"I advise you to behave yourselves, or my knife won't discriminate!"
After those words, all the diners in the restaurant fell silent, trembling with fear.
In Yinshan City, the Zhou family is like a god; who would dare to disrespect them?
Left with no other choice, they could only obediently raise their heads and show their faces, not daring to move an inch.
"Search!"
The expert at the Gathering Peak Realm waved his hand, and the remaining Zhou family warriors pounced on him like wolves, grabbing the warriors and examining them closely.
"Tell me where you come from and where you are going. If you tell even half a lie, you will be executed on the spot!"
"Hmph, judging by your shifty eyes, you're clearly hiding something. Take me away!"
"And you...you...you're still eating? Are you looking for death?!"
A Zhou family martial artist was furious when he saw Tang Xuan still eating and drinking. He rushed over and slammed his long sword on the table with a clang.
Ding Qianyue trembled and lowered her head.
Her movements instantly aroused the suspicion of the Zhou family martial artists.
"Look up, take off your mask, let me see your face, or I'll kill you!"
Helpless, Ding Qianyue slowly removed her veil, a sliver of hope in her heart.
The Zhou family has never seen him before, so he might not be exposed yet.
However, Ding Qianyue's wish was not fulfilled.
