"So, what do you guys think? I've been thinking about this suggestion for a long time. I've asked around a lot, and this is the most suitable option." The group was discussing where to eat after they went down the mountain. While they were talking about this, everyone seemed to selectively ignore Nangong Yu, who was standing to the side.
Nangong Yu didn't interrupt, listening attentively to the stories told by the group. Fu Ziyi's mouth was dry from talking, and Ji Yuanchi said with a heavy heart, "I think if you knew my third brother, the two of you could become good friends."
Xu Yuehuai chuckled upon hearing this. It was true. Fu Ziyi could be a bit cunning at times and talked a lot. Compared to Pu Tianyi, the two just had different ways of doing things. Pu Tianyi liked to fight people head-on, but Fu Ziyi preferred to ambush them.
Fu Ziyi raised an eyebrow but didn't respond. Baili Xiuwen then said, "We have a professional here, why don't we ask him?"
All eyes immediately fell on him, and he looked at Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu smiled faintly and gently shook his jade-bone fan. "I don't actually go down the mountain often, so I don't have any advice for you. But if you want to eat, you can go to Quansheng Restaurant. I heard from the junior brothers and sisters who have gone out that the food is very good."
"As for buying pills, you can go to the black market." Nangong Yu paused for a moment.
Fu Ziyi crossed his arms, it was unclear whether he had heard what was said, but he stopped wandering at the front of the line and returned to stand in the middle of the line.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai replied, "In that case, let's listen to Senior Brother Nangong over there."
No one objected, and the decision was made. However, Fu Ziyi neither nodded nor shook his head from beginning to end, making it really hard to understand what he was thinking.
He glanced at Baili Xiuwen with resentment, and Baili Xiuwen responded with a smile. He felt like he had punched a cotton ball and couldn't be happy at all.
When the group reached the foot of the mountain, Yu Ze and the others caught up. Yu Ze seemed determined to challenge them, heading towards the Quansheng Restaurant as well. Shangguan Qi gently asked from the side, "Senior brother, where are you going? I want to go to the black market to buy something. Are you going to eat?"
Yu Ze stopped in his tracks. He had forgotten about Shangguan Xi. For some reason, whenever he saw Fu Ziyi and the others, he would do unimaginable things and lose his mind.
He stopped and looked at Shangguan Xi apologetically, "We just came down the mountain, why don't we eat something before we go?"
Shangguan Xi seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he played hard to get and said, "Alright, since you've invited me like this, if I can't buy what I want later, you'll have to buy it for me!"
Shangguan Xi's gentle and soft voice melted Yu Ze's heart, and he agreed without hesitation, unaware that this was just the beginning of his downfall.
The group headed towards Quansheng Restaurant. During the short time they were delayed on the way, Fu Ziyi and the others had already gone inside.
Ji Yuanchi looked left and right, then gave her fair assessment: "The decoration of this place is excellent!"
Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Junior Sister Ji, you are welcome to come anytime."
"Can we still come out often? Aren't we only allowed to leave the sect on days off?" Ji Yuanchi asked with a question in her eyes. Xu Yuehuai was talking to the waiter and asked for a private room on the second floor with a great view.
Just as she finished talking, she heard Ji Yuanchi ask this question and looked at Nangong Yu curiously, "If you do missions, you can come out. Although there is miasma outside the sect, it is impossible to keep it closed forever. Otherwise, everyone's strength will just stagnate."
"Therefore, there are many practical combat secret realms within the sect that are provided for sect disciples, but secret realms are still not as practical as going out to train on your own," Nangong Yu explained.
The sect has a points system, which is used to go out and do real combat missions. Almost every one of them is very dangerous, but there are also low-level missions with corresponding rewards and a much lower level of danger, all to let everyone go out and experience real combat.
Otherwise, if a disciple only sits and meditates during each cultivation session and does not understand the power of these combat skills, then no matter how high their cultivation level is, it will only be a showy display.
Ji Yuanchi had not heard of this matter before, and Nangong Yu added: "It's probably because you haven't been specifically assigned yet, and your cultivation level is low. Going out to do missions like this is no different from sending yourselves to your deaths."
When Nangong Yu spoke frankly, no one showed any particular expression. Nangong Yu was right; their cultivation levels were indeed low.
It's so low that nobody wants to tell them these kinds of rules.
During the conversation, the group had already followed Xu Yuehuai to their seats, and Ji Yuanchi's attention was successfully drawn to the scene in front of them.
Below the house is a stream, and on the opposite side of the stream, colorful fabrics are drying, emitting a pleasant floral scent. The fabrics sway in the air, creating a beautiful scene.
In this environment, everyone sat and enjoyed drinks and food.
Yu Ze followed, but did not find Xu Yuehuai and the others. Quansheng Restaurant was not cheap, and he initially thought they would only sit in the lobby, which would make it easier for him to embarrass them. However, after looking around the lobby, he found no one there. He grabbed a waiter and asked in a condescending tone, "Have you seen where the group that came in just now went? A group of six people."
The servant looked at Yu Ze, somewhat afraid of his gaze, and honestly replied, "You mean those few very good-looking people? I remember them very well; they were all very good-looking, and I even took a few extra glances at them..."
"I told you to tell me where they went, stop talking nonsense!" Yu Ze said in an unfriendly tone, somewhat annoyed by these people praising Xu Yuehuai and the others.
The man shuddered and replied, "In a cubicle upstairs..."
Upon hearing the news he wanted, Yu Ze wanted to go upstairs, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone. He glared at them angrily and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?"
The Second Elder's reputation was very useful; Yu Ze had used his name to act as an accomplice to evildoers quite a bit.
The steward who stopped him calmly and politely replied, "Sir, you cannot go up to the second floor without a servant to guide you. If you wish to go up, you can first go to the front desk and pay the spirit stones, and then someone will naturally take you up."
The manager spoke slowly and deliberately, leaving Yu Ze momentarily speechless with embarrassment.
Xu Tian chimed in, "Senior Brother Yu Ze, I've never eaten here before. It looks delicious! Why don't we go upstairs and eat? I just overheard people talking about how the view upstairs is several times better."
