Chapter 143
After leaving the Four Seasons Academy, Qiuyue took Su Yang to a lavishly decorated nine-story pagoda inside the city near the Four Seasons Academy.
"This is the Nine Spring Hall, one of the most famous places to dine on the continent," Qiuyue introduced the place to Su Yang. "From ordinary dishes to foods filled with Profound Qi, you can taste everything here."
"There are nine floors in the Nine Spring Hall with each floor serving different food qualities, and on the top floor, they serve the best food that even money can't buy."
"The first five floors were basically the same, and the next three floors were mostly for influential people. As for the ninth floor, only people like Sect Masters or Family Heads were allowed to step in."
"Hmm ... Then how far do you think we'll be allowed?" Su Yang asked.
"If we show them enough money, then we should be able to sit on the sixth floor. Moreover, even though the quality increases when you eat on the higher floors, there really isn't much difference, or this place won't be this famous . "
Su Yang looked into his storage ring to see over 700 spirit stones inside. Although it was a lot of wealth in the Eastern Continent, it might not be worth farting here in the Sacred Middle Continent.
"Ah, whatever. It doesn't matter where our floor ends, we won't be here long anyway."
Before entering the Nine Spring Hall, one of the workers there approached them with a friendly smile.
"How much will you eat today?"
The beautiful woman asked them.
"Three," Su Yang said.
"alright. Do you have a reservation?"
"No . "
"Then do you have a recommendation?"
"No . "
"May I ask for your surname?"
"Su."
"Su?"
The beautiful woman looked a little surprised.
"Is something wrong?"
Su Yang was confused by her reaction to her surname. Perhaps there was also another influential family here with the same surname as him?
"T-No, there's nothing wrong. But if I can, can I ask you if you know—"
"Ahem!" Qiuyue suddenly cleared his throat loudly and spoke in a cold voice, "Sorry, but I am starving. If you don't mind, can we come in? We don't have all day to answer your questions."
Su Yang looked at him with a dumbfounded look. What's it all about?
Although somewhat dazed by her sudden interruption, the beautiful woman still quickly replied, "I'm sorry to wait, but to ensure the best experience for our valued customers, we have to confirm them—"
“There is no need for you to confirm our identity because we are just a group of ordinary people with a lot of money to spend,” Qiuyue cut it again. "Any floor will work."
Upon hearing his words, the beautiful woman showed a smile and said, "It seems like this precious customer has been here before. Alright. Please take this card and enter."
"This is?" Su Yang asked Qiuyue.
"This yellow card will allow us to reach as high as five floors."
Su Yang nodded and said, "Lead the way."
They entered the Nine Spring Hall shortly afterwards, and another worker approached them after seeing the yellow card in Su Yang's hand.
"Sorry, dear guest, but all the rooms for the first five floors are already occupied. If you don't mind waiting here, please relax in the waiting room there, or you can come back later."
"…"
The place instantly became quiet.
"What now?" Su Yang asked Qiuyue, who looked a little annoyed at the situation.
"Please wait a while…"
After saying that, Qiuyue started looking for his storage ring.
A few seconds later, he took out a jade slip and threw it at the worker.
"Is there a free room now?" he asked the worker in a cold tone.
"Sorry, but this—"
The worker spoke as he lowered his head to look at the jade slip.
"**-Ini—!"
The worker suddenly looked surprised, almost as if he was an ordinary person holding precious gold.
Then, with a cynical expression, he asked Qiuyue, "K-Where did you get this? If this is fake—"
"Use your brains! Do you think anyone would dare to fake a false recommendation with his name?"
Hearing his words, the worker bowed and apologized, "Please wait a moment while I speak to my superior! Meanwhile, distinguished guests can wait in one of the free rooms on the eighth floor to your liking!" After saying that, the worker turned around and ran to somewhere with a jade slip in his hand, leaving Su Yang confused by what had just happened.
"What did you just give him?" he asked out of curiosity.
"Just a recommendation from someone I know here" he replied faintly.
"You couldn't show that to the woman outside just now? It would make things simpler," He shook his head. "And I didn't realize it until now because you are the same Qiuyue I knew long ago, but have you lived the past few hundred years with that cold attitude? It reminds me of the first time we met here. Ah, how did that docile little girl turn into such a cold woman? "
Qiuyue smiled bitterly at his words. "Maybe being chased around the world has something to do with it? If I stay the same, I won't be able to escape from the Holy Moon Palace, let alone meet you again in this vast universe."
"…"
Su Yang was silent for a moment. Of course, he will change after being chased around the world by his own family, not to mention spending hundreds of years alone in a world that has no connection with him – would be much more bizarre if he had not changed after all this ordeal !
“Come, let's go to the eighth floor.” However, Qiuyue showed no signs of hatred towards Su Yang for his inconsiderate remarks. Instead, he was just glad they were together now.
"Un." Su Yang nodded slowly.
"You're really a grown woman now, aren't you?" he thought inwardly as he followed her upward.
