Gods were wise, but not strong. Yao were the exact opposite. As a result, in the eyes of the gods, yao were barbarians.
When it came to food, the gods were especially prejudiced against yao. They said their food tasted like wax.
But now, Ye Zichen couldn't disagree. Perhaps it had to do with the culture of the north, but at the very least, the Rose House's signature dishes were worthy of praise.
The table was full of delicacies, but the Great Sage didn't touch a single bite. He didn't even take a few sips of rose brew.
"Ye-zi."
Ye Zichen was enjoying his meal. When he heard this, he arched his brows, lifted his bowl, and took another sip of rose brew. When he saw the Great Sage hesitate, he silently lowered his head.
Ye Zichen didn't dare say he could guess what the Great Sage was thinking, but he was pretty close.
"Food is the most important thing to the people. We've been traveling for so long without even a drop of water. Now that we're in a northern city, we can at least rest and replenish our supplies."
When Ye Zichen said that, the Great Sage didn't know how to argue.
"Don't overthink things. I'm not trying to hide anything from you. The tavern has always been the easiest and fastest way to get information. There are all sorts of people here, so if we stay here, we might get some unexpected information. "
"What else do you need? Didn't the Hermit Emperor explain things to you before coming here?" asked the Great Sage.
"You're right," Ye Zichen said.
Ye Zichen glared at him in surprise, then nodded. "The Hermit Emperor really didn't explain things too clearly. He just gave me a general direction, then told me I'd find out once I got to the north."
When he heard that, the Great Sage couldn't help but frown. "Then why did you come to the north?"
"Shh, this isn't the place to talk about that."
The Great Sage glanced at the customers in the tavern, but could only nod and drop the subject. However, whenever he sat in the tavern, he felt uneasy …..
"Take your time tasting. I'm going out for a stroll."
Without further ado, the Great Sage got up and left. Before he could take more than a few steps, he suddenly stopped. Ye Zichen couldn't help but freeze as well. Every customer in the tavern froze for a few breaths of time.
"What a powerful pressure."
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and looked out the window. At that moment, a fleet of cars passed by the restaurant, causing the pedestrians and vendors to subconsciously move to the side of the road.
The entire convoy was made up of Scarlet Flame Horses, leaving a long trail of flaming footprints on the entire street.
Red ribbons were tied around the carriages, and there were musicians beating gongs and drums around the carriages. It was a very festive scene.
"Is the Demon Race's wedding ceremony so old-fashioned?" After getting a rough idea of the situation, Ye Zichen couldn't help but purse his lips into a smile. "They even have a guard of honor? But just because they have a few peak diviners or rulers, they're a bit too intimidating."
It was obviously a wedding procession, but the Scarlet Flame Horse was rampaging through the streets.
Most of the pedestrians and peddlers were chased to the side of the street, and they looked very miserable. There were also many peddlers who did not evacuate in time, and the spirit herbs on their stalls were trampled to pieces by the wedding procession.
"All of you, scram."
The wedding procession glared at them angrily. The Scarlet Flame Horse, which was clearly saddled, seemed to have broken free of its reins. It galloped down the street, leaving behind long, flaming footprints.
The pedestrians scrambled out of the way, but at that moment, a child fell to the ground.
The Scarlet Flame Horse was as fast as a half-step diviner. The child was only a human immortal, so he was about to be trampled.
Whoosh.
A silver longsword pierced through the air, and the blade of the sword was embedded into the ground, making buzzing sounds.
The Scarlet Flame Horse whinnied in fright. The entire wedding procession came to a halt.
"Little friend, are you alright?"
Ye Zichen, who'd just been in the restaurant, appeared in front of the child. He smiled and patted him on the head. At the same time, a woman ran over in a panic.
"Little Yu."
The woman called the child's name. After confirming that the child was unharmed, she turned to Ye Zichen and thanked him gratefully.
"Hurry up and thank our benefactor," said the woman to the child.
"Thank you, benefactor."
The child bowed to Ye Zichen in his childish voice. Ye Zichen couldn't help but chuckle.
"No worries. You seem to be a member of the god race, right? What a coincidence, so am I." Ye Zichen glanced at the confused child. "Hurry up and take him away. In the future, you have to be more careful with children."
Tears of gratitude streamed down her face as she led the child away. Ye Zichen twisted his neck and pulled the silver longsword from the ground. He glanced indifferently at the Scarlet Flame Horse procession, but said nothing.
He'd suddenly appeared here from the restaurant in order to save the life of the child with the blood of the god race. As for everything else, this wasn't the god race's territory, so he couldn't be bothered to care.
Just as he was about to leave, someone from the wedding procession shouted angrily.
"Halt!"
Ye Zichen glanced over indifferently, then saw the young man walk towards him angrily. Not long later, Ye Zichen recognized him. He was the one who had driven the extremely aggressive Scarlet Flame Horse.
The youth wore embroidered robes, and Ye Zichen could faintly make out the fluctuations of a formation. He was obviously a young master.
As he roared, several people followed him. Judging from their auras, the person who'd made him feel slightly pressured wasn't among them.
"What?" asked Ye Zichen calmly.
"You dare ask what? Do you know whose wedding procession you're blocking?" said the youth arrogantly. "I don't know, and I'm too lazy to know." Ye Zichen shrugged. "If you're going to blame me for what happened just now, then I really feel wronged. Just now, I stepped in to protect you. If I hadn't intervened, your Scarlet Flame Horse would've trampled that child to death. You should be thanking me.
You should be thanking me. Why do I feel like you're here to denounce me? "
"Help me block a calamity."
The young man laughed out loud. "Do you know who I am? Do you know that you've delayed my big brother's wedding procession? "
"Then hurry up and leave. What are you just standing there for?" Ye Zichen stepped aside.
"Leave? Laozi's precious Scarlet Flame Horse was startled, do you think it's over just like that? "said the youth.
"…" Hearing that, Ye Zichen was stunned, then couldn't help but be speechless. "Seriously … We're in the same world, the same second generation. Are you rich young masters all so … overbearing? Then you're talking about compensation with me now, and not caring about your big brother's wedding procession? "
Ye Zichen quickly admitted defeat when he saw the young master's expression turn dark.
"Fine, fine, fine. Don't be angry. Compensation, compensation … It's just compensation. Brothers, don't get angry. But before that, can you let me see your Scarlet Flame Horse? Who knows if it's a hybrid or not? "
"You …"
"Lord, don't be angry," Ye Zichen smiled coyly. "This Scarlet Flame Horse is rather expensive. I definitely won't be willing to pay for it. Don't you think so? I'll go and inspect it."
"Heh, go." Disdain flashed across the youth's eyes. As he watched Ye Zichen walk towards the Scarlet Flame Horse, he muttered. "You're trying to be a hero with someone else, but you don't know how much you're worth."
Hearing that, Ye Zichen didn't get angry. He merely walked in front of the Scarlet Flame Horse with a chuckle and took a closer look.
"It really is a Scarlet Flame Horse."
"Naturally," the young man said arrogantly. "Since you know it's a Scarlet Flame Horse, then compensate."
"I can pay for it, but you said your horse was frightened. How do you calculate the compensation for psychological damage? That's no good, there's no way to give a fair price," Ye Zichen shook his head with a smile.
"So you're saying that you don't want to compensate?" The young man's gaze turned cold. "If you don't want to compensate, then you have to think about it properly."
With that, the people behind the young man walked out. Ye Zichen hurriedly reached out his hand, "Come on, let's go. Ye Zichen quickly reached out his hand, "Ai, don't … Isn't it just compensation? We have money! I'm just saying, without a proper department to judge the mental damage fee, who should pay more or less? I … don't like to take advantage of others. But clearly, you can't go find a professional to judge it with me. You're in a hurry to give it to your big brother, right?
Isn't it? "
"What exactly do you want?" The young man asked.
"I just want it to be fair," Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and smiled.
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and smiled, then gently patted the Scarlet Flame Horse.
