Chapter 695: Or Is Your Master Planning to Rebel?
"Very well, sir!"
Afterward, Jiang Chuan, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Yu also ordered two dishes each. The names didn't sound as fantasy-like as Dragon King Disturbing the Sea.
Ten minutes later, the dishes they ordered were served one after another.
Xu Tian looked at the Dragon King Disturbing the Sea pushed in front of him, and it felt like ten thousand alpacas were roaring in his heart.
What Dragon King Disturbing the Sea? This is just raw octopus!
When he was in Huaxia before, he had seen this way of eating in a T Country restaurant. When the octopus was put into the mouth, the suction cups on the tentacles would tightly adhere to the tongue and not let go.
This kind of dark cuisine could simply be described as perverted.
He originally thought that only perverted T Country people liked this way of eating, but he didn't expect it to be popular on Wuji Island too.
And why would a restaurant specializing in vegetarian food provide raw octopus?
But soon Xu Tian understood. Perhaps the chef of Qingyun Zhai just liked to use this simple and unadorned cooking technique to highlight the freshness of the food itself.
Because he saw the dish Zhong Ling ordered, a piece of white radish lying quietly in transparent soup.
Xu Tian:...
Sure enough, the person is like the name, and the food eaten is so otherworldly.
But Xu Tian soon had no heart to observe what dishes others ordered, because Jiang Chuan was looking at him with expectation.
"Brother Yi, hurry up and eat. If you wait a while longer, it won't be fresh."
Hehe, fresh?
Putting it back in the water directly, wouldn't it be fresher?
Xu Tian bit the bullet and picked up an octopus that was still twisting its tentacles.
Zhong Ling's gaze was fixed on him, and she spoke meaningfully.
"This octopus is still alive. After swallowing it in one bite, it will squirm in your mouth until you bite it to death. Its tentacles will still squirm slowly. It's normal if you don't like it, Brother Yi."
"The taste is not bad, just not as fresh as what I ate before." In order not to be exposed, Xu Tian had no choice but to harden his heart and send the picked-up octopus into his mouth.
Having died once, Xu Tian naturally wouldn't be afraid of these.
Except for the initial discomfort, he actually felt the taste was not bad.
Then, he pushed the plate in front of him to Jiang Chuan.
"You try it too."
"No..." Jiang Chuan shook his head repeatedly. "I don't have your... heavy taste, Brother Yi..."
Xu Tian lowered his head and looked at the plate of octopus silently pushed back by Jiang Chuan, sighing in his heart. He didn't have it either...
But in order not to collapse his persona, Xu Tian still ate the whole plate of octopus quickly.
Eating and eating, he really got used to it.
"Brother Yi, you really love eating this stuff..." Jiang Chuan sighed.
"Brother Yi, I'll add another plate for you. You usually use this to drink with. There's no wine today." Zhong Yu was about to call the waiter, but the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Seven or eight men dressed as bodyguards filed in, and then a playboy youth wearing a floral shirt and a big gold chain walked out from behind these people.
"So the Wolf King is still alive? That's really gratifying!" The playboy youth spoke sarcastically, and the look in his eyes toward Xu Tian also carried provocation.
Zhong Ling looked coldly at the playboy youth who entered and didn't speak.
It was Zhong Yu who took the initiative to lean over and whispered in Xu Tian's ear.
"Brother Yi, this person is Zhou Mingrui, the cheap son of the Azure Wolf Hall's Fourth Elder, Zhou Lao Si."
Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly. As a member of the Azure Wolf Hall, this Zhou Mingrui could be said to have no respect for the Wolf King.
It seems that his father, Zhou Lao Si, must have had a rebellious heart.
Sure enough, as Xu Tian expected, Zhong Yu's next words also confirmed his guess.
"Brother Yi, ever since you left the Azure Wolf Hall, our internal affairs have never been peaceful. These elders also have bad cabinets. Now, several elders headed by Zhou Lao Si have contributed and become arrogant, controlling most of the resources, and are also buying people's hearts behind the scenes. Many members have defected to them."
"This Zhou Mingrui has no real skills, but he is good at being born. He is Zhou Lao Si's youngest son. Relying on his father's power, he does whatever he wants. Within the Azure Wolf Hall, no one dares to provoke him, and everyone takes a detour when they see him."
Zhong Yu was quite indignant, but helpless.
Ever since Brother Yi left the Azure Wolf Hall, his influence within the organization had been far less than before.
If Brother Yi could always sit in the Azure Wolf Hall, those people wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous, let alone challenge him in public.
It wouldn't be Zhou Mingrui's turn to be arrogant and domineering in front of them.
Xu Tian had long heard that the Azure Wolf Hall was seriously divided, and many people already had rebellious hearts against the Wolf King. Now, Zhou Mingrui's performance confirmed this point.
Those elders didn't take him, the Wolf King, seriously. As for other members, even if they were respectful on the surface, they were actually dismissive of his return in their hearts.
"Zhou Mingrui, who do you think you are, daring to talk to the Wolf King like that!"
Before Xu Tian could respond, Jiang Chuan slapped the table and shouted at Zhou Mingrui.
"Hehe, just relying on him?" Zhou Mingrui sneered. "Is he worthy of being called king in front of me? The Wolf King has been missing for several years, and now a little punk suddenly pops up and dares to call himself the Wolf King. Then if I change my clothes tomorrow, can I also say that I founded the Azure Wolf Hall?"
"You bastard! He is His Highness the Wolf King!" Jiang Chuan angrily stepped forward, wanting to grab Zhou Mingrui's collar. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll beat you until you lose your teeth!"
Zhou Mingrui still laughed wantonly, while waving at the bodyguards he brought.
Those seven or eight bodyguards immediately swarmed up, covering him tightly.
"Little brat, if you have the ability, come out, don't hide behind the bodyguards like a turtle!" Jiang Chuan was anxious, but was blocked by the burly bodyguards and couldn't catch Zhou Mingrui at all.
"Hehe, I'm a turtle, then what are you, Jiang Chuan?" Zhou Mingrui sneered. "You're just a pug. During the time the Wolf King was away, you relied on wagging your tail and begging for pity from other elders to get a meal. Believe it or not, with just one word from me, my father can kick you out of the Azure Wolf Hall?"
"Try it!" Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and was about to rush up again.
At this time, Xu Tian suddenly stood up and stopped Jiang Chuan.
"Brother Yi, they..." Jiang Chuan said unconvinced.
"Calm down." Xu Tian patted his shoulder, signaling him to step back.
Jiang Chuan glared at Zhou Mingrui unwillingly, but still stepped back.
Xu Tian came to the front of those bodyguards and said coldly: "Move aside."
The bodyguards' expressions changed slightly, and they didn't know what to do.
"Can't you understand human language?" A cold light flashed in Xu Tian's eyes. "Or is your master planning to rebel?"
The bodyguards looked at Zhou Mingrui in a tangle.
No matter how the elders doubted, the man in front of them was the Wolf King, the boss of the Azure Wolf Hall. ===== CHAPTER 696 =====
