Lin Ray did not recognize a single person in the surroundings. However, from the way they were dressed, it was obvious that they were from wealthy families.
Moreover, there was another unifying factor. All the people here were cultivators. None of them were ordinary people.
Even the waiter leading the way was a cultivator. This made Lin Ray even more familiar with the Balance Tavern.
He had a feeling that he would be able to obtain something very interesting here. He … had something he wanted to know.
"Brother Wu, you have to help us this time. Whether or not our Long Clan can survive this crisis will depend on the help of your formation technique."
Two people came down from the staircase between the second floor and the first floor. One of them was the person who bought Lin Ray's formation disc, the elder of the Formation Association, Wu Ding.
As for the other person, he was one of the second-rate clans in the Xuanyuan Imperial Capital, the Long Clan's patriarch, Long Aotian.
Speaking of Long Aotian, he looked very young. Of course, he was actually the third young master of the Long Clan. However, the previous patriarch of the Long Clan was killed. Before his death, Long Aotian was appointed as the next patriarch of the Long Clan.
Because of this, the elders of the Long Clan did not agree to it no matter what. Of course, there were also those who chose to remain neutral. In the end, some elders did not want to be associated with the Long Clan and went out on their own.
Because of this, the Long Clan's strength and influence plummeted. Some small clans, third-rate clans, and even low-rate clans dared to clamor at them.
Not long ago, a third-rate clan surnamed Li came to clamor and demanded that Long Aotian hand over eighty percent of the Long Clan's assets and properties. The Long Clan was in a precarious situation and did not have the time to care.
It was precisely because of this that such a scene had occurred.
The two of them came down from the second floor. Long Aotian could not help but ask Wu Ding for help. In response, his voice was slightly louder. Everyone eating on the first floor focused their attention on the two of them.
Among them was Lin Ray. However, when he saw Wu Ding coming down from the second floor, his originally calm expression instantly froze.
"Damn it. Even Wu Ding can go up to the second floor. I can only stay on the first floor. It seems that being famous makes a difference."
Smiling bitterly in his heart, Zhang Xuan shook his head and ignored it. His face returned to normal, and he continued forward.
As for Wu Ding, he seemed to have sensed the gazes of the crowd. He turned his head and swept his gaze over the crowd. However, the instant his gaze landed on Lin Ray and Lin Xian`er, he was completely stunned.
As for Linley, he probably would never forget him in his entire life. How could he forget someone who could use a Saint-level array disc as a tea tray and casually place it around?
However, when he saw the direction that Lin Ray and his companion were heading in, he revealed a puzzled expression. He understood the rules of the Balanced Scale Tavern. However … was Lin Ray a freaking ordinary person?
He could even go up to the fourth floor. Although his strength was still unknown, just the good stuff in that shop alone was enough to compete with a first-rate power.
"Brother Wu? Brother Wu … "
Long Aotian also noticed Wu Ding's reaction. He called out to him twice, but there was still no response. Then, Wu Ding's gaze fell on Lin Ray. Long Aotian looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"How is this possible? Why are the two of them on the first floor?" Staring at Lin Ray and Lin Xian`er, he didn't believe that this was a coincidence. He also didn't believe that Lin Ray, who didn't care about fame and fortune, would be on the first floor.
As he thought of this, he returned to his senses. He glanced at Long Aotian and thought of the matter that Long Aotian had asked him to do. Honestly speaking, the guild might not be able to do it. After all, the guild had a clear rule that members of aristocratic clans weren't allowed to have close contact with each other.
Initially, he was still thinking of how to reject. But now that he saw Lin Ray, maybe he would be able to help.
"Clan Leader Long, if you don't have time later, why don't you go down with me to meet someone?"
"If that person agrees to help, maybe the matter of your Long Clan will be resolved. Who knows, you might even be able to rise to a higher level!"
"What?"
Wu Ding's words came too suddenly, causing Long Aotian to be dumbfounded for a moment.
"Let's go!"
He didn't say it a second time. Taking a single step forward, he headed towards Linley's location.
At this moment, Lin Ray and Xian`er were already seated by the window. The scenery wasn't bad, and there were many people walking to and fro outside. The atmosphere was extremely lively.
"Two guests, what would you like to eat?" After speaking, the waiter took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Lin Ray and Xian`er.
As for the menu in front of him, Lin Ray didn't even glance at it. He directly spoke, "Bring out all the specialties here."
"Oh, right, bring out a few jugs of your best wine as well."
"Father, don't drink anymore!" Lin Xian`er spoke.
"It's fine, I'll just drink a little." After speaking, he smiled and ended the conversation. However, the waiter didn't leave. He had a difficult expression on his face, as though Lin Ray's words were inappropriate.
"Why? No dishes? No wine? "
"Or to be honest … are you afraid that I won't be able to afford it?"
The waiter only had a few thoughts. Either he didn't have the ingredients, or he despised the guests for being poor. And from Lin Ray's point of view, the waiter seemed to be thinking of the latter.
As expected, the moment Lin Ray spoke, the waiter replied, "Guest, it's like this. Maybe this is the first time you've come to our inn. Here, a single special dish costs 10 high-grade saint crystals. But you said that all the specialties would be served. The price of over 30 dishes isn't cheap at all."
"In addition, the wine isn't cheap either. A jug of our most expensive wine costs 100 high-grade saint crystals. What do you think …"
Bang!
A low rumbling sound rang out. At the instant the sound rang out, everyone in the inn turned their attention over.
"What do you mean by this? Are you despising us for being poor?" Lin Ray didn't speak, but Lin Xian`er couldn't bear it any longer. She slammed the table and glared at the waiter.
"Eh, this … I …"
"What about me? What's so great about it? Isn't this just a place to eat? Why are there so many rules? Do you really think you're so awesome that you don't have to pay taxes?"
"What the hell? Isn't it just money?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand and numerous sparkling saint crystals emitting dense saint spiritual qi fell to the ground.
Patter patter …
The number of crystals was so great that everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. They were all stunned on the spot.
At the side, even Lin Ray himself was dumbfounded. Looking at his daughter who suddenly went berserk, there was a huge difference between her personality and the usual.
Wu Ding and Long Aotian who came over were also stunned on the spot. Their steps halted in the air as they stared blankly at the scene before them.
The atmosphere was awkward to the extreme. As for the waiter from before, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the floor filled with high-grade saint crystals.
A bad premonition arose in his heart. Looking at the tens of thousands of saint crystals on the floor, he felt as though he had offended someone he shouldn't have.
Cold sweat flowed down his back uncontrollably. Right now, he didn't know whether to leave or stay. Looking at the aura of the young lady before him, his back was drenched in cold sweat.
"Are these … enough to pay for the bill?" Her expression turned cold. In her life, the thing she couldn't tolerate the most was others speaking ill of her father in front of her. She wouldn't allow it in any form.
She instantly unleashed her Mystic Heavenly Ice Might. Strands of ice seemed to break out from her body. The windows, the table, the water in the teacups froze the instant she circulated the Mystic Heavenly Ice Might.
