Chapter 38: Xuan Ci: Just wait, I'll ask clearly, and then I'll come back to help you get revenge (Sixth Update)
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Inside Su Mu’s gourmet shop, Su Mu had already begun preparing the ingredients for the day early in the morning.
With the daily arrivals of Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, Xuan Ci, and others,
business at Su Mu’s shop could be considered quite good.
For these regular customers, Su Mu naturally had to be diligent and get things ready early.
Fortunately, the ingredients were all stored within the system space, so Su Mu only needed to process them simply.
Just as he finished processing the ingredients, a man wearing a black-gold dragon-patterned robe slowly walked into the gourmet shop.
"Huh, this person!"
Noticing the newcomer, Su Mu let out a soft sound of surprise.
This dignified aura, combined with the custom-made robe trimmed with gold thread, made Su Mu’s eyes light up instantly.
A rich man, definitely a proper rich man!
Just by looking at this outfit, Su Mu felt it must be worth a fortune.
And just as Su Mu was sizing up the newcomer, the middle-aged man who had arrived was also sizing up Su Mu.
"This is a fairyland!"
The information that had abruptly appeared in his mind made the man mutter to himself.
He had been inside his palace a moment ago, and the next, shrouded in white mist, he had arrived here.
After digesting the information in his mind, the man bowed to Su Mu; having arrived for the first time, he was a bit flustered and didn't know what to do.
Just then, Tang San’s figure happened to walk in behind the man.
"Shopkeeper, I’m disturbing you again!"
Tang San, who had just entered, was in a very pleasant mood.
Ever since that day, he and Xiao Wu had joined the Shi Laike Academy.
Even though he didn't want to show off, that group of people insisted on asking him.
There was no help for it; his strength was right there.
It was hard not to show off!
Just like that, after surprising a group of Shi Laike teachers, Tang San and Xiao Wu settled down to study at Shi Laike.
Recently, the Shi Laike Academy had begun preparing to take him to the Soul Beast Forest to obtain a martial soul.
It just so happened that before setting off, under the familiar white mist, Tang San had come again.
Having had the previous experience, Tang San was clearly more familiar with things this time.
He greeted Su Mu respectfully, then found a seat and began to order.
"Shopkeeper, please give me an order of egg fried rice, a bowl of beef noodles, add a marinated egg, and a glass of plain boiled water!"
Smiling at Su Mu, Tang San still did not order watermelon juice this time.
There was no help for it; although he had joined the Shi Laike Academy,
he was poor!
Watermelon juice, a thing that cost one hundred taels of gold per cup, didn't have much of an effect on him anyway.
He was only twelve years old and didn't need to worry about his lifespan yet.
"Alright, just wait a moment."
Seeing a regular customer had arrived, Su Mu nodded at Tang San and didn't bother asking the man for the moment.
Seeing the scene with Tang San just now, the man looked slightly stunned, then sat down calmly.
"It seems this immortal is not as the legends describe!"
Thinking of the events recorded in the classics, the man said softly in his heart.
At the same time, thinking of how familiar Tang San looked while ordering, he hesitated several times to speak.
Tang San, on the other hand, noticed the man's demeanor and couldn't help but think of his own first arrival.
"Actually, the shopkeeper is very easy to talk to. Coming here is fate; you can take a look at the menu and try it to know what the situation is."
Smiling at the man, Tang San offered a reminder.
After all, as they were both newcomers to the shop, Tang San felt it was better to have one more friend.
Hearing Tang San’s reminder, the dignified man nodded silently and kept this in mind.
At the same time, based on Tang San’s words, it seemed there was only gourmet food here at the immortal's place.
For a moment, the man felt a bit disappointed.
He had previously wanted to ask if there was any elixir of immortality here!
Shaking his head with a hint of bitterness, the man also spoke to Su Mu.
The items he ordered were exactly the same as what Tang San had ordered earlier.
And just at this moment, outside the gourmet shop,
"Oh, the young friend arrived a step earlier today!"
As soon as the figure arrived, the voice rang out; the person who had come was none other than the modest gentleman Yue Buqun.
As a regular of the gourmet shop, he usually came the earliest.
Today, however, he had been beaten to the punch by Tang San.
There was no help for that.
He had just finished the Five Mountains Sword Alliance and taken over the position of Alliance Master.
Through threats and inducements, Yue Buqun had managed to collect a hefty protection fee from the other four sects.
Having made a small fortune, Yue Buqun’s assets had surged once again.
"Shopkeeper, please give me one of everything on the menu!"
After speaking respectfully to Su Mu, Yue Buqun also found a place to sit down.
Just as he sat down, Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji walked in from outside the shop door.
The two bald monks, nourished by the gourmet food in the shop, looked increasingly ruddy in the face.
The two ordered their meals skillfully and then sat down.
At the same time, they smiled at Tang San, clearly looking ill-intentioned.
Yue Buqun, sitting to the side, watched this scene coldly.
He was perfectly clear about the intentions of Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji.
Last time, he, Yue Buqun, had been poor.
This time, he had struck it rich; could he really not outdo the two of you?
Thinking this to himself, Yue Buqun also had some new ideas regarding Tang San’s watermelon juice.
"Oh, have the people from Shaolin already arrived?"
Just then, outside the shop door, Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao appeared right on cue.
As he spoke, the gazes of Yue Buqun and Tang San instantly turned toward Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao.
Their eyes gleamed, and they both pricked up their ears.
They hadn't forgotten.
When Zhang Sanfeng left last time, he had said he was going to find Shaolin for an offline PK.
Now that Zhang Sanfeng had arrived, Yue Buqun and Tang San were both curious.
What was the result of the offline PK?
"Heh, for the sake of the shopkeeper’s gourmet food, we at Shaolin are naturally the first to arrive!"
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng, who wanted to pick a fight with their Shaolin the moment he arrived, Abbot Xuan Ci was not intimidated in the slightest.
Did this old man think their Shaolin was easy to bully?
As soon as Abbot Xuan Ci spoke, the atmosphere in the shop became lively.
Yue Buqun and Tang San watched the bickering group, feeling secretly excited.
And Zhang Sanfeng’s next words did not disappoint them either.
They saw Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao find a place to sit down.
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at the two with disdain, then said to Song Yuanqiao beside him in a casual tone.
"Disciple, after we return, remember to double the ransom for that old bald donkey Kong Wen!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yue Buqun and Tang San were instantly thrilled.
Ransom? And he wanted to double it!
Had this old man actually taken down the Shaolin Temple?
Truly worthy of someone who could come here; ruthless enough!
On the other side, Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji were slightly stunned.
Old bald donkey Kong Wen?
Who the hell is that?
How could he be such a weakling to have been taken down by an old man?
It was simply a disgrace to their Shaolin!
Just wait, they would ask clearly and then come back to help you get revenge!
