The woman was at least two hundred pounds, her face a mass of fat. She was five-foot-seven, her eyes narrowed into two slits. She turned around and glared, asking, "Who cut in line? We were here all along!"
The man, however, was quite thin. He looked ahead indifferently, as if he was already accustomed to his girlfriend's behavior.
Duanmu Qing felt a pain in her stomach from anger. Ye Tian pulled her back a little and smiled, "Forget it."
The fat woman snorted and turned her face away again.
Duanmu Qing sighed, but ultimately said nothing more.
Ye Tian glanced at the fat woman, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At that moment, the fat woman suddenly felt a chill all over her body, especially her stomach, then her intestines. Within half a minute, her stomach rumbled, and she clutched her lower abdomen, walking out. Her boyfriend quickly chased after her, calling out, "What's wrong with you!"
Watching the two run off, Duanmu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "She got an upset stomach? Serves her right!"
Ten minutes later, a man and a woman walked back. The woman's face was pale, and she seemed very unwell. Unexpectedly, she cut in front of Duanmu Qing again.
This time, Duanmu Qing said nothing, only sneering.
As it was almost their turn, the woman's stomach and intestines felt cold again, and she ran off clutching her stomach once more. The man sighed and quickly followed.
With them gone, Ye Tian and Duanmu Qing moved up and found seats to eat.
After sitting down, Duanmu Qing realized this might have something to do with Ye Tian. She asked, "Brother Ye, if I had your skills, I'd make her even more miserable!"
Ye Tian smiled, "I used Gu techniques."
It turned out that after the Xianji Gu swallowed the Gu from the Linggu Sect, it gained many abilities, one of which was to cause stomach pain.
Duanmu Qing's eyes widened, "Gu techniques? So such things really exist in the world!"
After ordering, the waiter first brought two cold dishes. As he left, the waiter suddenly noticed a black jade ring on Ye Tian's hand. This black jade ring was given to him by San Chong, who said it was the token of the Linggu Sect leader.
The waiter's expression changed slightly. He retreated silently, then ran to the second floor and pushed open an office.
"Dad! Sect Leader! It's the Sect Leader!"
In the office, a man in his fifties was watching television. Hearing him mention the Sect Leader, he couldn't help but stand up, "Ah Shan, what Sect Leader?"
The waiter, called Ah Shan, said, "The Sect Leader is at our restaurant!"
The boss was startled and quickly asked, "Where?"
"The ground floor, the open seating."
The boss immediately said, "Quick, have them prepare the best private room I reserved and invite the Sect Leader up!"
"Yes, yes!"
The boss tidied his clothes and hurried downstairs, arriving at the open seating area.
His gaze swept across, and he immediately spotted Ye Tian, and the black jade ring on his hand.
The boss walked over with small steps, bowing slightly, and said in a low voice, "Disciple Huang Afa greets the Sect Leader!"
Ye Tian was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to meet a sect member here. He nodded and asked, "Are you a formal disciple?"
Huang Afa quickly replied, "Disciple is not yet, currently still in the observation period. But my cousin said that in another three to five years, I should be able to become a formal disciple."
Ye Tian smiled, "Mm, good."
Huang Afa said, "Sect Leader, I've arranged for a private seating area upstairs."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Alright then."
Upon arriving at the private seating area upstairs, a pot of Mingqian Longjing tea had already been brewed. The teapot was made of high-quality purple clay, the tablecloth was silk, and the floor was impeccably clean.
Huang Afa personally came to accompany them, serving tea and water to Ye Tian from the side, acting as a waiter.
Ye Tian waved his hand, "Huang Afa, go take care of your business."
Huang Afa bowed and retreated, but didn't dare to go far. He stood not far from the door, ready to appear quickly if Ye Tian called him.
Duanmu Qing, with a stomach full of questions, finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye, are you really the Sect Leader?"
Ye Tian smiled, "It's a martial sect, skilled in Gu techniques."
Duanmu Qing's interest immediately piqued. She asked, "Brother Ye, can you show me a Gu?"
Ye Tian shook his head, "Gu cannot be seen. However, I can let you experience what it feels like to be afflicted by Gu."
Duanmu Qing nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
