Seeing that Chu Xiang was particularly interested in the outside world, what else could they do? Of course, they could only accompany her.
However, Chu Xiang felt that He Yunfei and Jin Zhen were too conspicuous, so she was only willing to take Luo Yu out. Jin Zhen grabbed He Yunfei, who wanted to cultivate, and said, "Do you still want someone to guide you in cultivation? You can't let others snatch her away. "
He Yunfei asked doubtfully, "Then what should we do? She doesn't let us follow her. "
Jin Zhen's face was full of disappointment, "It's not like we can't be seen, we can go out by ourselves. As long as we can see her, it's fine. There are so many people, who would know that we're following her? "
He Yunfei's eyes lit up, "Uncle, you're so thoughtful, let's go."
Jin Zhen looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, "Those people used to think that you were a sickly person, so you can go out and show them. However, since you've been delayed during the day, you have to speed up your cultivation at night. Otherwise, with your low cultivation level, wouldn't it be embarrassing? "
He Yunfei suddenly didn't want to go out with him, he felt that his uncle who was addicted to refining was better.
The two bickered all the way and soon caught up with Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang soon found out. Although she couldn't cultivate without spiritual power, in this world, she definitely needed spiritual sense to pay attention to her surroundings. She directly used the Heaven and Earth Mirror to replace her spiritual sense. Anyway, she could see everything that the Heaven and Earth Mirror shone. If she wanted, she could know what happened thousands of miles away, which was more useful than spiritual sense.
Chu Xiang didn't care about them and went straight to the Fragrant House. The Fragrant House was He Feng's private property, and he specially reserved the best room for Chu Xiang. Although it wasn't meal time, the Fragrant House was still full. Their competition made it hard to find a room in the Fragrant House, and the price had increased several times. Therefore, everyone in the Fragrant House was wearing brocade clothes. Chu Xiang walked in wearing a high-grade Daoist robe and didn't stand out.
The main reason was that her current appearance was only delicate and pretty, and her figure was relatively flat, so she was very inconspicuous among a group of beautiful female cultivators. People who saw her would only think that she was a sister who came to join in the fun.
Chu Xiang entered the private room on the second floor and didn't close the door. At a glance, she saw Wei Lingxiao and his sister in the private room opposite. Beside Wei Lingxiao was a woman wearing a veil hat. Chu Xiang took out a soundproof array disc and threw it on the ground. The words inside the array could not be heard by outsiders, but it did not block the sound of the outside world.
Chu Xiang gestured with her chin and asked Luo Yu, "Look at that woman."
Luo Yu glanced at him. "His cultivation level is higher than mine. The curtained hat is an artifact that can isolate divine sense."
Chu Xiang knew it was Zhou Xinlian at a glance. The veil hat was given to Zhou Xinlian by her mother so that it would be more convenient for her to walk around outside.
Chu Xiang held her tea and smiled, "Feather, what you need to do next is to defeat her in the Alchemy Competition. Your cultivation must also surpass hers."
Luo Yu was stunned. "Miss, do you think I can do it?"
Chu Xiang nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course."
Luo Yu smiled. "If Miss can do it, then you definitely can. I will work hard!"
She was now very confident in Chu Xiang. However, she looked at Wei Lingxiao and frowned. "Miss, isn't that the first young master who made a fool of himself a few days ago? You don't like the woman beside him. Could it be that you have some thoughts about him? "
At this point, Luo Yu was a little anxious. "Miss, please don't do this. Although Wei Lingxiao's talent is excellent, he has a fiancée and even hooked up with her cousin. This is enough to show that he doesn't value relationships. Instead of staying at home to reflect on his mistakes, he came here. He might have heard of your reputation and wanted to hook up with you. "
Chu Xiang waved her hand. "Why are you so anxious? How could I fall for such an idiot? "
While the two of them were talking, an argument had already started in the private room opposite them. They had set up a soundproof barrier, but from their expressions and actions, it was obvious that Wei Lingxiao hated Zhou Xinlian while Wei Lingxiao was protecting her. While the two siblings were arguing, the other young masters of the Wei family also came. In the end, Zhou Xinlian left alone and Wei Lingxiao's face was gloomy.
Luo Yu was shocked. "Miss, Wei Lingxiao is protecting that woman and that woman is hiding her head and tail. She can't be that Zhou Xinlian, right?"
Chu Xiang walked to the window and saw Zhou Xinlian enter the inn alone. She nodded and said, "Who else could it be other than her? This woman killed my uncle and aunt, stole my cousin's fiancé, and took over the Chu family. Now, she wants to find a chance to appear in public. Just looking at her affects my mood. "
These were all rumors, but when Luo Yu heard Chu Xiang's words, she immediately believed that Zhou Xinlian had done these things. She was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Otherwise, she wouldn't follow Chu Xiang with such pure intentions. Naturally, she looked down on Zhou Xinlian.
After knowing that the person Chu Xiang wanted her to defeat was Zhou Xinlian, her fighting spirit was immediately ignited. If she lost to such a person, even she would feel ashamed.
Chu Xiang saw that the siblings in the opposite room were not on good terms. She made a list and asked Luo Yu to send it to He Yunfei next door.
Luo Yu immediately went. He Yunfei coughed awkwardly. "Miss Luo, does Miss Lin want to eat this table of noodles?"
Luo Yu smiled. "No, Miss means to raise the price of this table of noodles. There is only one table, and the highest bidder will get it. Ruthlessly rip off Wei Lingxiao. Miss really doesn't like their style of doing things. "
Jin Zhen glanced at the list and saw that many of the dishes on it were the most ordinary dishes. It was just that the names of the dishes were especially elegant. He couldn't help but smile. "She really thinks a lot. This is easy. Let her watch the show."
The Fragrant Inn was his family's, so it was naturally easy to give orders. He Yunfei went to arrange the table while Jin Zhen found two people to mix in with the guests. After a while, the shopkeeper appeared. "Thank you for your patronage. The Fragrant Inn's business has been booming these past few days. It's the same dishes every day. Presumably, the guests are tired of it. Today, the Fragrant Inn has specially launched a table of Blue Sea Banquet to add something new to the guests. "
Then the shopkeeper introduced the ten dishes of the Blue Sea Banquet. All of them were made from spirit plants and demonic beast meat from the Blue Sea Region. They were indeed very unique. The shopkeeper did not introduce them in too much detail. When the guests heard the pleasant names of the dishes, they were all excited.
However, the shopkeeper immediately said that the Blue Sea Region was dangerous. It was not easy to gather so many fresh ingredients. Therefore, there was only one table, and the highest bidder would get it.
Everyone present had some status, so naturally, they wouldn't cause a ruckus because of the auction. On the contrary, many people felt that the Blue Ocean Banquet was very interesting. Whoever managed to buy it and eat it would gain a lot of face in front of so many people.
Not only were they tempted, but even the Wei Clan, who had eaten all kinds of good things, were tempted. After all, the ten dishes were all made from ingredients from the Blue Sea Region. It was also a very novel thing for them. The siblings immediately discussed that they would buy it and try it out.
Chu Xiang's mouth curved slightly. When the auction started, she asked Luo Yu to bid from time to time and bid with everyone else. There were many people present who cared about face. Chu Xiang kept bidding, and the people arranged by Jin Zhen also cooperated with her. The price quickly rose. Some people noticed her, but because Chu Xiang had been in the City Lord's Mansion for many days and refused to go out, they did not associate her with Chu Xiang at all. They even felt that it would not look good if they lost to such an unknown sister.
When the price was about to rise, there were only five or six people left bidding. At this time, the person arranged by Jin Zhen said casually, "The person upstairs who keeps bidding is the First Young Master. I give up. I can't compete."
"Really can't compete. The First Young Master is rich …"
They did not mention anything that they should not have, but it reminded everyone of the Chu Clan's incident. When the Chu Clan was destroyed, not even a strand of hair was left. At that time, Wei Lingxiao was in the Chu Clan. If the things did not go into his pocket, where would they go? Wasn't he a rich man?
Wei Lingxiao's face sank. When those two people spoke, their tone was full of reverence. No one could find fault with them, so he could not casually flare up.
Chu Xiang raised the price again. When the Wei Family saw that Chu Xiang was an unknown person, the people downstairs seemed to have retreated. They directly raised the price very high and smiled at Wei Lingxiao. "Lingxiao, you have a lot of money. Today's Blue Ocean Banquet, you must not miss it. While you're at it, let your younger brothers have a taste."
Wei Lingxiao frowned. "I'm not interested in food."
Chu Xiang raised the price again. "This Blue Ocean Banquet may not be available in the future. Today, I just happened to come across it. It would be a pity not to try it."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said, "Miss is right. Today, we just happened to gather ten jackets of vegetables to organize this Blue Ocean Banquet. It's really rare."
The Wei Family saw that this sister was willing to spend money. If the Wei Family gave up, wouldn't it be shameful? Downstairs, someone had just mentioned that the first young master was rich. With so many people watching, how could they give up?
The youngest young master of the Wei Family immediately got up and directly added ten high-grade spirit stones. He smiled and said to Wei Lingxiao, "Big brother, I haven't eaten much of the Blue Ocean Banquet. Today, let me see the world."
The others immediately agreed. Their words implied that the money for this table of noodles was on Wei Lingxiao's head. Even his own sister, Wei Linger, did not speak up for him. This person had the money to let Zhou Xinlian stay in the inn and take Zhou Xinlian out on the street. It was better to spend the money on their own family. Besides, who knew if their parents were biased and gave the entire Chu Family to Wei Lingxiao.
Wei Lingxiao was very dissatisfied with them. He got up and was about to leave. Chu Xiang said, "Since the first young master wants to treat his younger brothers and sisters to a taste, I won't fight for it. I'll give this banquet to the first young master."
The shopkeeper immediately cupped his hands and smiled. "Thank you, Young Master Wei. The Blue Ocean Banquet will be served immediately."
The second young master responded and began to serve the dishes. Wei Family's younger brother transmitted his voice to Wei Lingxiao. [Big brother, are you planning to leave us behind? We didn't bring so much money. If we can't pay the spirit stones later, the Wei Family will lose face. Anyway, big brother, you are very rich. Don't just care about women and be angry with your younger brothers.]
Wei Lingxiao glared at him sharply, but he couldn't teach him a lesson in front of so many people. Indeed, if he didn't admit it, the Wei Family would lose face. Someone had just mentioned him, and now many people were looking at him, wanting to see what the Blue Ocean Banquet was. He couldn't lose his composure.
It was just that the feeling of being forced to do something beyond his ability was really suffocating. He glanced at the Wei Family unhappily and then glanced at Chu Xiang opposite him. With a cold face, he paid the shopkeeper the spirit stones according to the price of the auction.
A table of ten dishes cost him a total of one hundred high-grade spirit stones. It was enough to buy the courtyard he gave Zhou Xinlian in the Imperial City.
When the ten dishes were served, Wei Lingxiao saw that a few kelp were a dish, a few sashimi were a dish, and a few fish eyes were another dish. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These junk were worth one hundred high-grade spirit stones?
