The place where the City Lord invited guests naturally wouldn't be too bad. Soon, Draconis led the group to a magnificent restaurant. When the waiter outside the door saw that the City Lord had personally arrived, he did not wait for Long Xing to speak and scrambled inside. Very quickly, he came out and claimed that he had already arranged the largest room.
"Everyone, please," Draconis turned around and called out to the group.
Chu Min followed unconcernedly, Lu Ping and Su Tang were the same. Mo Lin, on the other hand, was cautiously observing his surroundings. In his opinion, Chu Min's method was simply too careless. She had allowed the other party to freely choose the place. Wasn't that giving the other party ample time to prepare?
But looking around, although there were a few xiuzhe among the diners in the hall, and they were paying attention to their group, they couldn't see any signs of an ambush.
Fang Yizhu was also paying attention to his left and right. The two's eyes met, and after a slight nod, they continued to follow quietly.
The largest room in the restaurant was on the top floor, with a circle of windows that allowed one to see the night view of Zhiling City in different directions. Usually, when a guest came, the waiter would show off and introduce them. But now that the City Lord had personally arrived, the waiter silently retreated after ushering everyone into the room. Not long after, the owner of the inn personally ran out. He didn't even ask who the guests were and only served at Long Xing's beck and call.
"Arrange it as you see fit," Draconis ordered concisely.
"Yes, yes." The owner nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Lu Ping and the others, asking politely, "Sirs, do you have any taboos?"
"I want good wine," Chu Min said.
"Of course, of course. Does Sirs like good Gu Longquan?" The owner hurriedly said.
"Yes." Chu Min nodded. She had been in Zhiling City for some years, and knew that Gu Longquan was the best local wine, the kind that ordinary people couldn't afford to drink even if they wanted to.
The owner looked at the others, and seeing that no one had any objections, he bowed and retreated.
"Everyone, please feel free to sit." As Draconis spoke, his attitude was quite casual. At this time, he walked to a window and raised his hand to push it open.
The cold winter night wind immediately poured into the room. Of course, for a practitioner, this cold wind was nothing, but Morin quivered. When he subconsciously wanted to go to the window to take a look, Draconis had already turned around, looked at him and said with a smile, "Little brother, don't be nervous, I just opened the window, it's not a signal."
Morin was stunned for a moment, but then he said with disdain, "A signal is a signal. Do you think we'll be afraid?"
"Hehe." Draconis laughed. Then, he saw that Chu Min was also looking at him.
"Since the window is open, let's be frank," Chu Min said.
"It's not easy for you to wait until now to ask," Draconis said.
"Because I'm not in a hurry at all." Chu Min said calmly.
"Actually, it's just a meal." Draconis said.
"Oh." Chu Min only responded and didn't continue. She waited for Draconis to continue.
Draconis stood by the window and seemed to organize his thoughts. Then, he looked at Lu Ping and finally said, "I'm very surprised."
"Surprised about what?" Lu Ping didn't understand.
"Up until now, all I know is that you went to Xuan Jun City, then Su Tang followed you back, the Xuan Jun Empire withdrew the wanted order, and the Academy Commission sent news that Zhenfeng College is also going to be restored. All I know is these established facts. As for how these facts happened, I actually don't know, this is very surprising. "Draconis said.
As someone who had no background but was promoted all the way to the City Lord, Draconis was trusted and valued much more than ordinary people. But even so, the news of what happened in Xuan Jun City was completely blocked from him. One could only imagine how serious the matter was.
"Oh, it's like this …"
"Stop stop stop, don't say it!"
Lu Ping was about to speak but was stopped by Draconis.
"I don't want to find out. Since the central government wants to hide it, then I think it's best if I don't touch it. It'll be troublesome if I know. "Draconis explained.
"There's a reason you can climb to this position." Chu Min said.
"I'll take it as a compliment." Draconis smiled.
"So what are you trying to say?" Chu Min asked.
"I want to know your attitude." Draconis said.
"What attitude?" Lu Ping asked.
"Towards the Xuan Jun Empire." Draconis said.
"So that's how it is." Chu Min said with a look of disdain, "At the end of the day, you just want to know how to make your position more stable and please the master right?"
"That's right." Long Xing nodded his head. Chu Min had mocked him bluntly, but he had actually calmly admitted it.
"Then teach him." Chu Min said to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping nodded and said, "Our attitude depends on the Xuan Jun Empire's attitude."
"What do you mean?" Draconis asked. He could tell what Lu Ping meant but he just needed to confirm it.
"Let's take this as an example." Molin took over the conversation and said rather arrogantly, "If you're treating us to a meal, then we'll eat. If you're setting up an ambush to deal with us, then we'll kill you. It's that simple."
"Can't you spare my life for the sake of my old friend?" Draconis smiled.
"Do I need to?" Morin asked Chu Min. Draconis and Chu Min were old friends. Everyone could see this.
"I don't really need it." Chu Min replied.
"See." Morin shrugged.
"Then let's eat." Draconis said.
As soon as he said that, it was as if he was performing a magic trick. One after another, exquisite dishes were sent to the table like butterflies flying through flowers. Chu Min's Gu Longquan also generously brought out two jars in one go.
"Everyone, please enjoy." Draconis sat down at the main seat and invited everyone to eat.
"Let's see if there's any poison." Morin said.
"Sir, I wouldn't dare!" Hearing this, before Draconis could say anything, the owner of the restaurant who came in to serve the food and wine was scared out of his wits and fell to the ground.
"This has nothing to do with you. We are testing the City Lord's sincerity." Morin said as he took out his poison testing tools and started to test the food and wine on the table.
The owner was dumbfounded. As the City Lord of Zhiling City, Draconis was like the sky in Zhiling City. Other than the Profound Emperor, he couldn't think of anyone who would dare to be so disrespectful to him in Zhiling City. But these people in front of him didn't seem to take the City Lord seriously. The City Lord didn't have any temper either. He was helpless, but he still maintained his smile.
Could it be some big shot from Dark Army City? The owner thought to himself. He didn't know that these people were indeed from Dark Army City, but it was different from what he thought.
"Alright, there's no poison. Let's eat." At this time, Morin finally tested everything on the table, including the cutlery.
