The next day.
Jinling Fuxing Garden.
Since coming here yesterday to taste the flavors, Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang felt that having breakfast here for a while seemed like a good choice.
"Boss, the same as yesterday."
After eating yesterday, Yuan Gang chatted with the boss here for almost half an hour, so they became familiar.
The boss was a middle-aged man, of average build, with an honest and kind face.
"Certainly, I saved yesterday's spot for you. Someone said they were from the Yan family, but I didn't give it to them. I kept it for you."
The boss said with a smile upon seeing Yuan Gang.
They had a very pleasant conversation yesterday, feeling like old friends meeting after a long time.
The two were still at their usual window seat. After the food was served, just as they were about to start eating, a young man wearing a black mid-length down jacket unceremoniously sat next to Yuan Gang.
"Heh heh, brother, let's share. You see my butler, he won't let me eat this, won't let me eat that, it's too troublesome."
The young man, who was Yan Wuji himself, felt no embarrassment and, with great familiarity, picked up a soup dumpling and carefully put it into his mouth. He clearly looked like a regular customer here.
"Boss, one bowl of Lǔmiàn and one bowl of Jiu Niang Yuan Xiao."
Yuan Gang: "......"
Ye Longlin: "......"
Butler: "......"
You are truly too familiar, sitting down without even knowing each other. Although they had seen each other that night when the plaque was being taken down, it was only from a distance, and they hadn't met.
However, they were meeting in this way today.
"No, big brother, who are you?"
Yuan Gang reacted and immediately said speechlessly.
Yan Wuji chuckled, "Your boss should know me. Hey, these are minor issues. I wanted to get justice for my cousin, but I didn't expect you to make the first move. We could only watch."
Ye Longlin was surprised for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Cousin?"
Yan Wuji nodded while eating the dumpling, "Yes, didn't Mu Hanqi tell you? Our Yan family is related to them. He has to call me cousin. Originally, I was coming to attend the engagement banquet... to be precise, I was escorted out of the city by my father.
Ahem, that's not important. What's important is that we hit it off. That night, I also wanted to go and take down their family's plaque, but I saw such a shocking scene. Tsk tsk, honestly, brother, what's your relationship with my cousin? Tell me, I'll help you figure something out."
Yuan Gang sat in the corner and silently rolled his eyes. In this world, there weren't many people who could call the boss their brother.
This fellow seemed carefree, either possessing great wisdom disguised as foolishness or truly being carefree.
Ye Longlin thought carefully, but he couldn't recall Mu Hanqi having such an unreliable relative. However, such things could be verified easily, so there was no need to lie.
Moreover, was this person from the Yan family?
Could it be another royal family?
Royal families should have long since vanished into history. Now, families were claiming to be royal families. What did they want?
Did they want to train their own private armies?
However, more importantly, he focused his gaze on the butler. This butler was no ordinary person. He possessed the strength of the Zhūbān Lóngxiàng, and he was a mid-grade Zhūbān Lóngxiàng. If an ordinary family had such a person, they would have already revered him as an ancestor.
It was impossible for him to be outside protecting a young man. Only a royal family could afford such a display. https:/
"Big brother, can we be a little less familiar? We don't know each other, okay?"
Yuan Gang was very speechless. Who exactly was this guy?
However, at this moment, Yan Wuji patted his stomach, signaling that he had eaten his fill.
"Alright, I've eaten your meal. I'll help you solve a problem. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Yan Wuji chuckled and said directly, waving his hand, exuding a heroic aura.
Ye Longlin looked at him deeply and slowly said, "Test Ye Xingchen's true strength."
After speaking, he gestured for Yuan Gang to give him a business card.
Yuan Gang had no choice but to take out a business card and hand it to him.
Yan Wuji smiled, put away the business card, and then got up to leave, waving his hand at them from behind.
"Boss, who exactly is this guy? Even if he's sister-in-law's cousin, he shouldn't be this familiar, right?"
Although Yuan Gang had become smarter, he still didn't know how to handle some things, or rather, he didn't know how to deal with certain matters.
"What do you think is the strength of the elder accompanying him?"
Ye Longlin suddenly asked.
Yuan Gang pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "I can't feel it. He should be just an ordinary person, right?"
Ye Longlin smiled wryly and didn't say more, merely saying softly, "Just wait and see. Ye Xingchen is in trouble."
Yan Wuji, who came out of Fuxing Garden, had a toothpick in his mouth, grinning and picking his teeth without any regard for his image.
"Old man, what do you think is the strength of these two? How dare they snatch a wedding? Are they looking for death?"
The elder looked solemn, his eyes carrying a hint of vigilance.
"The one sitting with you is a low-grade Zhūbān Lóngxiàng. The one opposite, I can't sense it. It's as if he's an ordinary person, but I estimate he's at least a high-grade Zhūbān Lóngxiàng."
The butler's expression was very solemn. He couldn't see through the other person's cultivation or depth.
But the only thing he could feel from him was an extreme sense of danger. This was not because the other party was hostile towards him, but a sense of crisis stemming from the gap in their strength.
"High-grade Zhūbān Lóngxiàng?"
Yan Wuji fell silent.
The butler shook his head, "I think he might be able to go even higher... Hey hey hey, young master, why are you grabbing my hair? I don't have many left anyway. Don't pull, ahhh, my hair!"
Before he could finish speaking, he immediately let out a scream. Yan Wuji was pulling at the butler's sparse hair.
Yan Wuji let out a laugh, "I say, Old Guan, what are you thinking? He should be around my age, right? You should also know that even if the other person cultivated from the womb, they couldn't have reached the Dao Realm at such a young age. Are you trying to fool me?"
The butler said helplessly, "Young master, Old Guan is in the family. I'm not Old Guan."
Yan Wuji waved his hand, "It's not important! Is this the point? The important thing is, do you think he might be in the Dao Realm? A Dao Realm expert around my age?"
Over the years, Yan Wuji had misspoken so many names, and never once was he correct.
As a result, the butler seemed to have gradually forgotten his real name.
"Young master, are you really planning to take action against Ye Xingchen of the Ye family?" the butler asked.
Yan Wuji chuckled and patted the butler's shoulder, "Yes, isn't that what you're here for? With you making a move, wouldn't that Ye Xingchen have to kneel and call me daddy?"
The butler was helpless and looked up at the sky silently, "Since young master wants the old man to take action, the old man will act. Otherwise, the old man himself will forget that his name is Qian Chongshan."
