Chapter 106: Those with Poor Brains Must Not Be Offended

Lu Ren naturally had no objections.

He nodded casually and entered the Duobao Pavilion together with Ji Shisi.

This was the Duobao Pavilion's restaurant; next to it were the Duobao Pavilion's nine-story pagoda and the Treasure Pavilion...

Whether it was fine clothing, gourmet food, or the necessities of life, as long as one had money, the Duobao Pavilion could provide it.

Money can make the devil turn the millstone.

Much treasure, much wealth, good fortune, and joy.

Upon entering, the first thing one saw was the couplet above and below, with a horizontal scroll: "Attract Wealth and Treasures."

It could be said to be perfectly in line with the core philosophy of the Duobao Pavilion.

And the Duobao Pavilion did not only serve cultivators; even if they were mortals, they would not be turned away.

Ji Shisi had dealt with the Duobao Pavilion in his earlier years, but back then, the Duobao Pavilion was not like this.

He was immediately somewhat curious.

"Your Duobao Pavilion... actually doesn't look down on people?"

He and Lu Ren had already put away their mounts when they reached the mountain, and the Fierce Beasts at Lu Ren's side had all been put into the spatial storage.

From the outside, the two were just an old man and a young man, wearing no Spirit Treasures; to those wealthy cultivators who liked to drape themselves in Holy Artifacts or Divine Artifacts, they looked incredibly shabby.

The waiter at the Duobao Pavilion heard Ji Shisi's question and immediately laughed.

While leading the two to an empty table by the window, he responded with a beaming smile.

"How could that be? How would we dare to look down on people? Our master has long since given instructions: there are four types of people one must not offend while walking the world."

After relaxing his mindset, Ji Shisi was somewhat like an old urchin.

Hearing this, he followed the waiter's lead, a lingering smile still on his face.

"Oh? I only know that the elderly, women, and children should not be offended; what else is there?"

The waiter immediately stretched out a finger and shook it.

He acted as if he were showing off, but it was not annoying. "Wrong, wrong."

"As for these people who cannot be offended..."

"Cultivators who look like royalty or nobility at first glance definitely cannot be offended."

Lu Ren was also somewhat curious about the Duobao Pavilion; listening to the waiter, he chuckled and nodded slowly.

This was indeed correct.

That kind of aura was already revealed on the outside; one could tell at a glance they were strong.

Offend them.

It would surely mean death.

"Another type is the ordinary-looking ones who seem like rogue cultivators," the waiter added, shaking his head as he spoke. "They look like rogue cultivators, but who knows what kind of backing they have? In business, it is best to value harmony."

"That is the truth," Lu Ren said calmly.

And then.

The waiter grinned and gestured with his hand.

His fingertips pointed at Ji Shisi.

"Then there are those like this old gentleman."

"This looks like a sect elder, or someone playing the pig to eat the tiger; they definitely cannot be offended."

"As for mortals or those with low cultivation, it doesn't matter; after all, we are in business, and we value harmony."

Ji Shisi had not expected it to involve him and couldn't help but laugh.

But speaking of which...

He looked at the waiter and asked, "You have already mentioned three types; these three types cover almost all the cultivators in the world."

"What is the fourth type?"

The waiter lowered his head to wipe the table, and while wiping, he gestured with his chin toward the entrance.

"There."

"The last type is that kind."

"The ones who look like their brains aren't working right."

Lu Ren looked in the direction of the waiter's gaze.

At the end of the waiter's line of sight, a group of people walking into the door noticed the gaze and looked over, but quickly looked away.

Yet, when Lu Ren saw those people, his eyes lit up.

Wonderful.

To think...

Another Child of Luck.

The waiter was truly spot on; aren't they just people whose brains aren't working right? What Lu Ren saw first was not the faces of those people, but the massive prompt above one of their heads.

【Xiao Paopao】.

These three characters alone were brighter than the signs of any other Child of Luck.

He was also the first to notice Lu Ren's gaze.

Paopao?

Lu Ren withdrew his gaze, lost in thought.

He pondered in his heart what this hint meant. Could it mean that this Child of Luck was particularly good at running away? Could it be the kind of slippery Child of Luck, like a loach?

That would be a bit troublesome.

"Senior Brother, what is wrong?"

Xiao Zigui's gaze wandered for only a fleeting moment, yet the pretty young girl standing beside him noticed it.

Tang Yanyu playfully hugged Xiao Zigui's arm, her beautiful eyes blinking, "What happened?"

"Nothing."

Xiao Zigui gave a casual, perfunctory reply.

He did not show it on his face, but in his heart, he had long since grown extremely weary of this junior martial sister.

Yet Tang Yanyu held a token in her hand, and furthermore, the two of them were from the same sect; he could not simply ditch her halfway.

It was just that although Tang Yanyu was the daughter of the sect leader, she was arrogant and willful, and Xiao Zigui had never held her in any regard.

Yet, he was being crazily pestered and obsessed over by her.

It made him miserable.

Upon hearing Xiao Zigui's perfunctory words, Tang Yanyu's expression immediately soured.

"Senior Martial Brother, are you brushing me off?"

"Are you still thinking about that little slut in your heart?"

Xiao Zigui's expression turned slightly cold.

He had always been gentle toward women and never overly petty with others; the reason he detested Tang Yanyu so much was precisely because she was always foul-mouthed.

Xiao Zigui frowned; even though he wisely knew that the best choice now was not to argue or bicker with Tang Yanyu, he still could not help but speak up.

"Junior Martial Sister, if you continue to call Qinghe a slut, you can go back."

"Such a rude person is not my junior martial sister."

Tang Yanyu's eyes immediately turned red.

She stomped her feet heavily, feeling terribly aggrieved.

"You really are still siding with that little slut! You actually scolded me for her! I'm going to tell my father!"

Having said that, she immediately turned her face away and ran out.

Her red figure was like a fleeing butterfly, drifting past the entrance of Duobao Pavilion.

Xiao Zigui's expression was extremely ugly, yet he could not truly abandon her.

He cupped his hands toward the people in the restaurant, "Apologies, everyone, for the offense and the disturbance."

After he turned to chase after her, the waiter shrugged indifferently.

"See, look, this is the textbook example of someone with a bad brain."

Lu Ren almost laughed out loud.

It was not that he found it funny, but that this waiter was truly interesting, only...

He was more curious about how the person behind Duobao Pavilion taught their staff, to be able to teach someone to be so clear-headed and perceptive.

Ji Shisi, however, was acting a bit strange.

After the waiter went down, he casually activated the Soundproofing Array Disk and the Chaos Blurring Array Disk attached to the table, and pointed toward the direction of the door.

"That person..."

He left his words unfinished.

Lu Ren understood what he was saying.

He nodded slightly.

"Exactly."

Ji Shisi immediately understood.

Regarding the matter of the Child of Luck, he did not know much; most of what he knew he had heard from Lu Ren at the Lu Family, so it could only be considered a partial understanding.

Now that they had actually encountered one...

Ji Shisi stood up immediately.

"This old man will go follow and take a look; Lu Family Head, please wait a moment."
