Chapter 662: Competing in Wealth

Although it was not very polite, Lu Yang sincerely felt that Grandpa Meng's cultural level might not be much higher than Man Gu's, and might even be on par.

"Then Meng Poci and Meng Pelie, forget it, I won't ask." Lu Yang felt that they were elders after all, so there was no need to ask about such overly rude things, so as not to let Old Meng leak too much, and the Meng family would kick Old Meng out of the Meng Mansion.

"What kind of place is that?" Lu Yang pointed to a room full of restrictions, with Meng family elders guarding the door, looking like a forbidden area.

"A place to store IOUs."

"My dad told me that if those IOUs could all be cashed, they could buy half of the Imperial City."

Lu Yang gasped. No wonder it's a forbidden area. It's not too much to send any number of people to guard this place. "It's not just IOUs. Our Meng family has a supernatural power called 'Borrowing Law'. When cultivators above the Integration stage borrow money from us, they not only have to leave an IOU, but also lend us one of their moves."

"Our family will rub this move on paper. If we encounter a battle, we can reproduce that person's move."

"So powerful." It's probably the Meng family's unique supernatural power; Lu Yang hadn't heard of anyone else who could do this.

Even the Decayed Fairy shook her head and said she hadn't heard of it. Meng Potian, Old Ma, and the Grand Steward Xu You gathered together. The three brothers hadn't gathered together for nearly six years, and they had a drink in the side room.

Old Ma lay lazily on the wooden chair, using magic to send the green grass on the plate to his mouth, his horse hooves sticking to the wine glass, drinking one sip after another.

"Old Ma, it's been hard for you to take care of Xiao Zhou along the way."

Old Ma wanted to be polite and say it wasn't hard, but thinking of the terrifying experience of the past six years, he couldn't laugh freely and say the words "not hard".

"Not hard, life is hard."

Meng Potian:...

He remembered that Old Ma used to be quite humble. How did he become like this after being a protector for his son?

"What do you think of this child Lu Yang?" Meng Potian had a good impression of Lu Yang. He had seen many young talents, but whether it was cultivation or character, they couldn't compare to Lu Yang.

If Lu Yang and Xiao Yu could see eye to eye, marrying into the family wouldn't be a joke.

Old Ma's eyes twitched, and an ominous memory surged into his heart. He suddenly remembered the scene where Lu Yang accidentally resurrected the Decayed Fairy.

"I'll just say this, the IOUs of your Meng family can buy half of the Imperial City, right?"

"Right."

"His luck can destroy half of the Imperial City."

"Do you want to eat something delicious?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

Lu Yang didn't understand: "Didn't we eat when we were welcomed? I feel it was quite delicious?"

"Those are not the best. Those spirit foods pursue both taste and effect, but the two cannot be obtained at the same time, so they are a bit worse compared to real delicacies. I'm taking you to eat at the best place in the Imperial City." No matter what, the Imperial City is his own territory, and Meng Jingzhou must fulfill the duties of a host.

"Then let's go." Lu Yang smiled. He remembered that the Eldest Senior Sister liked to taste local delicacies every time she went to a place. If it was really as delicious as Meng Jingzhou boasted, he could pack a portion when he left the Imperial City.

Considering Meng Jingzhou's great reputation in the Imperial City, everyone in the Imperial City knew him, so when the two left the Meng Mansion, they consciously put on masks.

The place Meng Jingzhou mentioned was called Tianxiang Tower, which was the most luxurious restaurant in the Imperial City.

There were even rumors that Tianxiang Tower had a Tribulation Transcendence stage spirit chef, but that spirit chef hadn't made a move for decades.

Tianxiang Tower was crowded. Fortunately, Lu Yang and the other two didn't arrive the latest. When they arrived, there were still three empty tables left.

By the time they sat down and ordered, those two empty tables were already occupied.

"It's indeed delicious." After the dishes were served, Lu Yang picked up a chopstick and tasted it. Old Meng really didn't lie; this was even more delicious than what he ate at the Meng Mansion.

"That's right, can my taste be low?" Meng Jingzhou was proud and couldn't wait to eat. He hadn't eaten it for five or six years.

Perhaps because of professional rivalry, the Decayed Fairy was dismissive of the food in Tianxiang Tower.

While Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were eating and discussing the next steps, the two noticed a slight commotion at the entrance of the restaurant and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

I saw a young man in black with an extraordinary bearing hugging his female companion and walking in. In public, he didn't care about the influence at all. Behind the young man were two guards.

Lu Yang noticed that the black clothes the young man wore were woven from dark gold threads spat out by the Ice Mountain Heavenly Silkworm, which were water and fire-proof, invulnerable to swords and spears, and extremely rare.

Even in the Imperial City, where there are official children everywhere, there are not many people qualified to wear this kind of clothes.

"No place?" The young man frowned. There were too many people in the restaurant, and there wasn't even an empty table.

He walked straight to one of the tables and stared at the guests at one of the tables from a high position.

"This place is occupied by this young master, you guys get out."

The guests at that table seemed to see that the young man was not someone to be trifled with, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and said yes, giving up their seats.

The young man saw the relatively simple dishes on Meng Jingzhou's table and laughed: "Poor ghosts, don't come here."

Then he beckoned again: "Waiter, bring a pot of hundred-year-old Immortal Drunkenness!"

The diners were shocked when they heard the young man's casual tone.

A pot of ordinary Immortal Drunkenness is the income of a small family in the Imperial City for a year. If it is hundred-year-old Immortal Drunkenness, its value is unimaginably high.

Even though those who come to the restaurant are rich or expensive, there are few who can order hundred-year-old Immortal Drunkenness.

The female companion saw that the young man was heroic, her beautiful eyes were full of strange colors, she stuck closer, and deliberately used her chest to rub the young man's arm. Meng Jingzhou snorted coldly. He hadn't seen anyone showing off their wealth in front of him. As for showing off his female companion, that was even more excessive.

He immediately greeted the waiter: "Give this young master a pot of hundred-year-old Immortal Drunkenness too."

The young man seemed not to have heard Meng Jingzhou's words and continued to order dishes: "Cloud Mist Steamed Spirit Fish, it must be ten years old. If it's one year short, I'll tear down your restaurant!"

Meng Jingzhou ordered dishes in a decent way without even looking at the price: "Waiter, bring a portion of Cloud Mist Steamed Spirit Fish, ten years old."

The young man glanced at Meng Jingzhou. He was a new face, so he just thought he was a cultivator who came to the Imperial City to find a way, and sneered, specifically picking expensive ones to order: "White-boiled Five Elements Spirit Vegetables, Braised Crying Sun Chicken, Taiqing Soul Refining Porridge..."

"We also want White-boiled Five Elements Spirit Vegetables, Braised Crying Sun Chicken, Taiqing Soul Refining Porridge..."

Meng Jingzhou didn't want to order these originally. Although these were great supplements, the taste was not as good as what he ordered at the beginning. However, he didn't mind playing with this young man.

Whatever dishes the young man ordered, Meng Jingzhou followed and ordered the same dishes without any retreat. The young man no longer had the unique feeling of looking down on all the mountains, feeling that he had lost face in front of his female companion.

He slammed the table: "Waiter, I ask you, what is the most expensive thing you have here!"

The waiter hesitated for a moment and said cautiously:

"Returning to the guest, the rent here is the most expensive." ===== CHAPTER 663 =====

"In reply to you, sir, our room rates here are the most expensive."
