Ye Qinghan and the Son of War rode the wind and waves. The boat was like lightning as it sailed across the water and reached the shore in the blink of an eye.
Zhan Jiuxiao also caught up and said with a smile, "Big Brother, Brother Ye, the matter over there has been settled."
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Jiuxiao." Ye Qinghan bowed slightly.
The Son of War only nodded slightly and stepped onto the shore.
Ye Qinghan went into the cabin and woke Lin Xue up. After so many years of mental exhaustion, Lin Xue could be said to have suffered all kinds of torture. She slept very well and was much more relaxed. Perhaps staying by Ye Qinghan's side was the safest. She did not have any psychological burden.
"Little Xue, put your Star Chessboard in your mind. Do not take it out unless you have no other choice!" Ye Qinghan reminded her.
Lin Xue heard and quickly hid the Star Chessboard. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
The four of them quickly walked towards the village. The water manor was not an ordinary village. The stone roads extended in all directions. The village was also very luxurious and had a rural feel to it. Yunduan Restaurant was located in the center of the water manor. There were many small restaurants around Yunduan Restaurant. Many people could not afford the food in Yunduan Restaurant and would eat Snowy Arowana in the other restaurants in the village. Although the ingredients were the same, the taste was completely different!
The Son of War was very familiar with this place. It looked like he had been here many times.
The three of them followed closely behind. After entering Yunduan Restaurant, they smelled a refreshing fragrance. Their pores seemed to have exploded.
Yunduan Restaurant had a total of three floors. There were no private rooms. Everyone was in the main hall. The rooms were arranged in a triangular shape. Sitting on the third floor, not only could they see the first and second floors, but they could also see the entire water manor. Eating Snowy Arowana here was like standing there.
"Let's go to the third floor," the Son of War said lightly.
The three of them followed.
Tap tap tap …
The four of them stepped onto the third floor. The entire main hall came into view. However, the Son of War and Ye Qinghan were suddenly stunned. They could not help but clench their fists. Their battle strength quickly recovered as they focused on the table by the window.
Xia Jiulong and Xuan Xiu were also in Yunduan Restaurant!
Several pairs of eyes looked at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes. It was as if they did not expect to meet each other here.
"What a coincidence, the Crown Prince is also here," the Son of War said with a smile.
Xia Jiulong was nonchalant, as if he didn't care about the two of them at all. He only nodded calmly as a greeting.
There were also four jars of Drunken Immortal Wine on their table. Xuan Xiu sat opposite Xia Jiulong, and his sword was placed on the corner of the table to his right. When he saw the Son of War and Ye Qinghan enter Yunduan Restaurant, his large hand involuntarily gripped the divine sword.
Xia Jiulong shook his head gently, indicating for Xuan Xiu not to act recklessly here. Only then did Xuan Xiu slowly put down the divine sword.
The Son of War looked back at Ye Qinghan, as though he was seeking his opinion. However, Ye Qinghan did not want to retreat either. If he retreated now, wouldn't that mean that he was afraid of Xia Jiulong?
"Since we're here, let's take things as they come. I would like to try Yunduan Restaurant's Snowy Arowana," Ye Qinghan said with a smile.
After saying that, Ye Qinghan came to a table in front of Xia Jiulong's table. It was also by the window, and one could see half of the manor. The nearby mountains and rivers could be seen. It was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Ye Qinghan did not choose to have his back facing Xia Jiulong. Instead, he chose to face him. As soon as they sat down, their gazes met. Sparks flew, and killing intent was unconcealed.
The Son of War sat on Ye Qinghan's left, and Lin Xue sat on his right. Zhan Jiuxiao sat between Ye Qinghan and Xia Jiulong, blocking their line of sight.
Zhan Jiuxiao felt goosebumps all over his body from their stares. He felt uncomfortable.
"Calm down. Don't worry about their gazes. They won't be able to fight in Yunduan Restaurant," the Son of War reminded him expressionlessly.
Zhan Jiuxiao smiled bitterly. He was not some Legendary Level. Who could stand being stared at by the Crown Prince like this?
"Little Xue, my dear niece, shall I make a bowl with you?" Zhan Jiuxiao smiled awkwardly.
Lin Xue did not answer. Instead, she looked at Ye Qinghan. Seeing Ye Qinghan nod, she moved her chair to Ye Qinghan's side, leaving more than half of the space for Zhan Jiuxiao.
Zhan Jiuxiao quickly pulled his chair to Ye Qinghan's right side. This way, Ye Qinghan and Xia Jiulong's line of sight was unobstructed.
Xia Jiulong was all smiles. There was a knife hidden in his smile. It looked like a smile, but it made one's hair stand on end.
"Sect Master Ye, what a coincidence. We meet again. Come, let's have a drink across the table," Xia Jiulong said with a smile as he raised his wine cup.
Ye Qinghan took out the Drunken Immortal Wine, poured a bowl of wine, and replied with a fake smile, "It's my honor to be toasted by the Crown Prince. I'll drink this bowl first as a sign of respect."
With that, Ye Qinghan drank the entire bowl of Drunken Immortal Wine. Heat surged into his limbs and bones. The burning and tearing sensation came again. His mind was in turmoil. However, it was much better than last time. It did not affect his combat power. Instead, it made his blood boil, and his combat power increased.
Xia Jiulong did not show any weakness. He drank the entire bowl of Drunken Immortal Wine.
After a while, four plates of fish were served. They were all Snowy Arowana. They were about twice the size of a chopstick. The four beautiful maids said respectfully, "Sir, please enjoy. If you have any special needs, just come. I'll be there at your beck and call."
The aroma wafted into their noses. It was hot and appetizing.
Ye Qinghan placed the largest plate of Snowy Arowana next to Lin Xue. He said gently, "Little Xue, eat as much as you want. There's more after you finish. You're still young. Don't drink wine. Eat more fish."
Lin Xue pursed her lips and nodded. She quickly ate a few mouthfuls of fish. Then, she ate faster and faster. It was as if she had not eaten for hundreds of years.
The Son of War looked at Lin Xue and sighed, "It seems like this child has suffered a lot."
Ye Qinghan clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "This is my fault. I promised her elders that I would take good care of her. If anything happens to her, I don't know how to explain it."
Lin Xue just lowered her head and ate the fish. Tears fell as she ate.
Ye Qinghan lowered his head and removed all the bones from the Snowy Arowana on his plate. He placed all the fat fish on Lin Xue's plate and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. He said dotingly, "Don't cry. I will arrange for people to take care of you in the future. I won't let anyone bully you anymore."
The Son of War smiled. He removed all the bones from his Snowy Arowana and pushed the plate in front of Lin Xue. He called for a maid and said, "Give us four more Snowy Arowana. Add a few more of your best dishes. Also, give me a pot of tea for this child."
"I'm sorry, my lord. You should know the rules of Yunduan Restaurant. The Snowy Arowana is limited. Each person is only allowed to eat one fish per day …" the maid replied respectfully.
The Son of War waved his hand and took out a glittering golden plate. On it was engraved the word 'War'. He casually tossed it to the maidservant and said, "Take this to your boss. He knows what to do."
After the maid left, the third floor quieted down. However, at this moment, Lin Xue's Qi and blood surged. Her aura was majestic and her eyes flashed like stars. It was as if her entire body was a star. It was so dazzling.
Xia Jiulong's eyes flashed. He grabbed the Nine Dragon Fan and locked his gaze on Lin Xue.
