The first person Chen Chang Sheng saw was Xu Shi Ji. That stern and cold face instantly reminded him of the silhouette in the carriage outside of the Heavenly Academy last year. Then he noticed the middle aged man walking in front of Xu Shi Ji. The middle aged man had a heroic appearance and looked familiar. Chen Chang Sheng didn't know who this person was, but from the position of the two people, he could guess that this person's status must be very high.
He bowed to Xu Shi Ji. Because he was a junior, this was a necessary etiquette. He didn't speak first because it was also etiquette, and he really didn't know what to say to him. Although after the Great Trial, Xu Shi Ji's attitude towards him obviously changed and he even invited him to eat a normal family dinner in the Dong Yu General's Mansion, the family dinner didn't end very happily.
— — the journey of that marriage letter still hadn't reached the end yet.
When he straightened up, he noticed that Tang Thirty Six was bowing to the other middle aged man. This was a very rare thing, because Tang Thirty-Six was a person who did not pay much attention to etiquette. To be more precise, he despised those who were overly formal in the world. Back then, even in front of Archbishop Mei Lisha, he had not been so polite.
Tian Hai Cheng Wu looked at Tang Thirty Six and asked, "How is your grandpa?"
With the status and position of the master of Tian Hai family, there weren't many people in the world that needed him to greet. Even in the Wen Shui Tang family, only the old master had the right to greet him.
Tang Thirty Six smiled and replied, "His body is very good. My family sent me a letter saying that he still eats four bowls of rice per meal and he eats at night every day."
When he was talking, he was very obedient, especially like a sensible junior. He didn't have his usual arrogance at all.
Chen Chang Sheng was even more surprised. He thought to himself, who was this middle aged man?
Xu Shi Ji said to him, "In a few days, Rong 'er will return to the capital. Find time to eat at our mansion."
Hearing this, the hallway instantly became very quiet.
Tian Hai Cheng Wu looked at Xu Shi Ji and slowly squinted his eyes.
Chen Chang Sheng now knew that … … Xu You Rong was going back to the capital. After a moment of silence, he looked at Xu Shi Ji and responded politely, "You know that the Tradition Academy has been busy recently. I'm not sure if there will be time."
From the moment Xu Shi Ji said this, Tang Thirty Six's eyes kept moving back and forth between Xu Shi Ji and Tian Hai Cheng Wu, trying to find something.
Tian Hai Cheng Wu suddenly laughed, then slowly stopped. He looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, "Since you have so many things to do, you still have the leisure to eat here?"
It was just a simple question, but Chen Changsheng felt an extremely powerful pressure, especially the coldness in his voice, as if it was about to freeze his Dao Heart.
It was at this moment that Tang Thirty-Six's characteristic and particularly roguish voice rang out at just the right time. "I hear that you like eating at Clear Lake Restaurant the most?"
He was asking Tianhai Chenwu.
Tian Hai Cheng Wu quietly looked at Chen Chang Sheng, ignoring him.
Tang Thirty-Six did not feel awkward. He smiled and continued, "You know, a few days ago, in the battle between Chen Changsheng and Zhou Ziheng, I earned quite a bit of silver. Pooling from here and there, I gathered enough silver to buy this building. Today, we're here to buy the building. Starting tomorrow, Clear Lake Restaurant will have to close for business and refurbish. You might not be able to eat blue lobster for the next few days."
Tian Hai Cheng Wu looked at him and mocked, "The temper of a child."
Tang Thirty-Six smiled and said, "I just want to tell you that in a few days, when the air is clear and the air is clear and the crab season is coming, this restaurant might not be able to open in time. I might have to have the steward of the estate find a better place."
Tian Hai Cheng Wu looked at him and said, "In these past few years, fewer and fewer people have dared to provoke me to my face. As expected of the Tang Old Master's favorite only grandson, your courage truly stands out from the masses."
Tang Thirty-Six opened his eyes wide and pretended to be innocent. "I don't really understand what Sir means."
Tian Hai Cheng Wu laughed and sighed, "I originally just wanted the Orthodox Academy to liven up a bit, but now it seems that you'll have to suffer a bit."
After saying this, he walked forward.
The passage was not narrow, but it was not wide either, especially with Xuanyuan Po's mountainous body in the middle.
Tian Hai Cheng Wu walked forward, and the three youths of the Orthodox Academy wanted to make way.
Xuanyuan Po could already sense that the atmosphere was rather tense and strange. Seeing his opponent walk over, he was very angry and prepared to use his own body to welcome him.
However, this was not a quarrel between the children of the Bear tribe, nor was it a game between fellow students of the Orthodox Academy.
Tang Thirty-Six's expression froze. Quick as lightning, he grabbed Xuanyuan Po's belt. True Essence exploded out, and he forcefully pushed Xuanyuan Po against the wall.
With a boom, the wall collapsed from Xuanyuan Po's impact, dust rising into the air.
Chen Chang Sheng had long sensed that there was something off about this middle-aged man. The moment Tang Thirty-Six turned to avoid him, he had already retreated to the side.
Just like that, Tian Hai Cheng Wu held his hands behind his back and expressionlessly walked over.
Xu Shi Ji glanced at Chen Chang Sheng and also left.
"What's wrong with you!" Xuanyuan Po sat on the rubble on the ground, confused and angry. He didn't understand why Tang Thirty-Six would suddenly attack him.
Suddenly, he realized that neither Tang Thirty-Six nor Chen Chang Sheng were paying attention to him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw that behind him were ten-odd tables, all filled with people.
As it turned out, on the other side of the wall was the hall of the first floor of Clear Lake Restaurant.
They had smashed through the wall, which meant that they had arrived at the hall.
The restaurant that should have been bustling with noise and excitement seemed even quieter than the Imperial Palace.
Countless gazes fell upon Chen Chang Sheng's group of three.
Those who had the right and money to eat at Clear Lake Restaurant were not normal people. Many were officials of the court, bishops of the Li Palace, and even the most inconspicuous were young talents with a reputation.
The Orthodox Academy was currently very famous in the capital, so they naturally recognized Chen Chang Sheng's group. Previously, when the wall collapsed, many people had seen the side of Tian Hai Cheng Wu's face. Even earlier, some people had even faintly heard the sounds of dispute on the other side.
No one knew exactly what had happened, but what was certain was that Chen Chang Sheng's group had some conflict with that important personage who had already left.
That was not a normal personage, but the head of the Tian Hai family.
Whether it was Prime Minister Jing or the Six Ministers, whether it was the Six Prefects of the Orthodoxy or the headmasters of the Ivy Academies, none could compare to that person's overwhelming power and influence in the Zhou Dynasty.
After the incident, Chen Chang Sheng's group of three were actually unharmed? That bear tribe youth called Xuanyuan Po was in a rather sorry state, but he actually didn't die?
After such a thing had happened, for such an ending to occur, how could the people in the restaurant not be shocked, how could they not be quiet?
"Everyone, it's fine, it's fine."
Without waiting for the head manager from the story to appear as usual, Tang Thirty-Six, very self-conscious of being the new owner of Clear Lake Restaurant, clasped his hands in front of him, smiled, and said, "Continue eating, I won't give you guys a free bill."
Finished speaking, he brought Chen Chang Sheng and Xuan Yuan Po upstairs. It was at this moment that a person who had previously faintly heard the contents of the conversation in the other corridor, and was obviously a busybody, stood up and asked, "Young Master Tang, could it be that Clear Lake Restaurant is really going to close?"
Tang Thirty-Six halted his steps, stood on the stairs, and turned his head to look at the people in the restaurant. He said, "It really is so."
Countless discussions arose in the main hall of Clear Lake Restaurant, and someone else asked, "It's almost time for the fat crab, aren't you going to worry us to death?"
Someone else asked, "Young Master Tang, even if you're preparing to close down for renovation, you still have to find a time, right? When will the grand plan open? "
Tang Thirty-Six looked at the crowd, and revealed a meaningful smile. He said, "That mainly depends on when I have the time to come and take care of business."
Hearing these words and thinking about the hidden meaning, the restaurant burst into an uproar.
Everyone now knew that Tang Thirty-Six was a student of the Orthodox Academy. The so-called 'when he had the time' mainly depended on when he was in the mood, and when his mood was good was obviously when the Orthodox Academy was not in trouble.
Clear Lake Restaurant was the most profitable restaurant in the capital, and at the same time, it was also the most expensive restaurant. Saying that it made money every day was not enough to describe the speed at which this restaurant by the lake made money. In order to prevent that important personage from the Tian Hai clan from eating blue lobster and autumn crab, Tang Thirty-Six was actually willing to spend so much money to close down for such a long time. The crowd couldn't help but be shocked speechless, thinking that he really was worthy of being the sole grandson of the Wenshui Tangs. He was truly willful to the extreme.
… …
… …
The only table by the railing on the top floor had long since been cleaned. Ten-odd refreshing fruit and vegetable dishes were placed on it, and there were also three kinds of clear tea that could be freely enjoyed. Xuanyuan Po did not have this kind of life experience. Looking at those precious porcelains produced from famous kilns, he felt that they were rather troublesome. He thought, what if I accidentally crush them? They're so white, what if I accidentally dirty them?
"Aren't you a bit too willful?" Chen Changsheng looked at Tang Thirty-Six and shook his head.
Tang Thirty-Six sneered and said, "That old guy loves to eat Clear Lake Restaurant's blue lobster the most. The problem is, he made me feel bad, so why should I make him feel good?"
Chen Changsheng said, "That doesn't mean you don't treat silver as silver."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "I'm relatively rich."
He said these words very calmly, very indifferently, without any intention of boasting. He was just explaining. Only this way could make Chen Changsheng speechless. At the same time, he remembered last year at the Plum Garden Inn, when he invited Tang Thirty-Six to eat for the first time. He also remembered when Tang Thirty-Six said that he and Xu You Rong were friends that made people speechless. He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
"Right, that person … just who is he?" Only now did he remember this important question.
"Tian Hai Cheng Wu, the current head of the clan." Tang Thirty-Six said, "The Divine Empress's nephew. In other words, if the Empress doesn't want to return the throne to the Imperial Chen clan, he is the most likely to become the next emperor of the Great Zhou."
Only now did Chen Changsheng know that it was actually this important figure.
Xuan Yuan Po woke up from the shock of the luxurious furnishings in the top floor. He thought about what Tang Thirty-Six did on the first floor and complained, "Why did you stop me just now? Are you afraid of him? "
Tang Thirty-Six said mockingly, "I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid that if you don't move, you will be beaten to death on the spot!"
Xuan Yuan Po was not convinced and said, "With his thin and weak appearance, I can easily knock into him three times."
Tang Thirty-Six sneered and said, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has a few elites at the peak of Star Condensation. Do you think he will be knocked over by you? Do you think he is one of those trees by the lake that a black bear like you can knock into? "
Xuan Yuan Po was stunned. He never would have thought that the seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was actually an elite at the peak of Star Condensation.
Chen Changsheng thought back to the scene in the other path, especially Tian Hai Cheng Wu's expression at the time. He suddenly felt that the lake wind blowing in from outside the building had become extremely cold. This was because he felt a chill in his heart – this head of the Tian Hai family really wanted to kill at that time.
