situation carefully.First, the main sphere of influence for the Divine Court is in Europe, not our country. They rarely make a big fuss about coming to our side.Moreover, the Berkley family is merely...Everything at the Tai Ping Clinic seemed calm as usual. As noon approached, the door was suddenly thrown open with a bang, and then Zhai Lingxiu rushed in, full of fire.

As soon as they entered, she saw Ye Bufan at a glance and immediately pulled him to the room next door.

After returning yesterday, the city lord's mansion has been keeping an eye on the Shang family's movements. Therefore, they received news at the first time that the Shang family had emptied their house.

"Are the Shang family really gone"

Zhi Lingxiu watched Ye Bufan's excited expression. Although she had already known about the other party's plan yesterday morning, knowing was one thing, and seeing the results was another.

Ye Bufan smiled and nodded.

"That's great! You did a wonderful job, this is a public benefit, everyone celebrates!"

Zi Lingxiu, as she spoke, patted his shoulder repeatedly, the sound of her slaps echoing with her excitement.

Ye Bufan had a black line on his forehead, thinking to himself that this woman was too rough. Fortunately, he had some cultivation, or else she would have broken his shoulders with these few hits.

"That...that wasn't me, it was the teacher who did it."

Ye Bufan, as always, remained humble, attributing all his achievements to a nonexistent teacher.

"Of course I know that, but your master wouldn't have made a move without you. So the credit goes to you."

Zhi Lingxiu said, "By the way, my father wants to invite your master to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest to express his gratitude."

"That's not necessary." Ye Bufan had anticipated this situation and was already prepared with a response. "My master, he is an eminent hermit who dislikes worldly affairs the most."

He instructed me not to accept any invitations or visits.

"Oh! Well, then, tell my father that."

Zhai Lingxiu seemed to have anticipated this outcome and was not too surprised. She then said, "Well then, I'll treat you to a meal at Zui Xian Lou for lunch today."

"You can eat, but I'll treat you. As a man, I shouldn't let a woman pay."

Ye Bufan spoke with confidence. He had robbed the Shang family last night, and at this moment, the gold coins he took out of his ring were like a small mountain, a truly hefty haul.

"I hate your chauvinism, but I do like being treated to a meal."

Two people went out. She asked her personal soldiers to return to the City Lord's Mansion to report, and then, together with Ye Bufan, they headed for Zui Xian Lou, the largest tavern in Tianlang City.

Far in the distance, a magnificent golden-roofed building came into view. Zhai Lingxiu said, "I'll tell you, this is the largest restaurant in all of Tianlang City, and the food and drink are the best."

"But the price is also the highest, you need to be prepared to pay a lot of money."

Ye Bufan always had a faint smile on his face. Money was no longer an issue for him. It was just that the taste of the wine and food that Zhai Lingxiu spoke of, he really couldn't compliment.

He has been in the Kunlun Immortal Realm for some time, and he found that apart from the abundant spiritual energy and powerful cultivation techniques, everything else here is incomparable to Earth.

The food industry here is seriously lagging behind. The available seasonings are very limited, and when cooking, the only seasoning you have is coarse salt. It's really hard to improve the flavor with that.

As a result, he couldn't muster any appetite after arriving here. Thankfully, the supplies in his storage ring were plentiful, allowing him to occasionally treat himself to some better food.

Two people had just arrived at the bottom of a restaurant building and hadn't even gotten to the door yet when a group of people suddenly walked towards them.

He was a young man close to thirty, dressed in luxurious robes and holding a flamboyant folding fan. He was He Changsheng's older brother, He Changqing, the eldest son of the He family.

Seeing Zhai Lingxiu, he immediately brightened his eyes and excitedly greeted her: "Lingxiu, I was just about to go find you, didn't expect to meet you here, we really are destined."

The He family has always been ambitious, aspiring to become the most powerful clan in Tianlang City. With this in mind, He Changqing has been pursuing Zhai Lingxiu relentlessly.

In the He family's view, if they were to marry the lord's eldest daughter, their family's combined power would undoubtedly soar, surpassing the other two major families and becoming the only force in Tianlang City.

And when Zhai Lingxiu saw him, her face contorted in disgust, "He Changqing, have some self-respect. Xiu'er is not someone you can just call."

He Changqing chuckled and said, "It's nothing really. I just thought it sounded more intimate this way. If you don't like it, then call me Ms. Zhai."

Zhai Lingxiu's face was cold as she said, "What do you want from me"

He Changqing said enthusiastically: "It's nothing major, I know that Miss likes good food very much, so I prepared some special fine ingredients and want to treat you to a good meal at Zui Xian Lou."

"I was planning on taking care of this here first and then sending someone to fetch you, but I didn't expect to run into you."

As the saying goes, to each their own. He truly put a lot of effort into pursuing Zhai Lingxiu.

It is known that the young lady of this city lord's mansion, besides being skilled in martial arts, also has a great love for food, which is why there is such careful preparation today.

Zi Lingxiu didn't care about his enthusiastic performance, "No need, someone already invited me to dinner today."

"Miss, you're wrong about this. It's not just anyone who can get hold of ingredients like mine."

"I said, it's not necessary."

Zhi Lingxiu still refused, and after saying that, she took Ye Bufan and prepared to go in.

He Changqing, however, persisted: "Miss, could it be that he is the one who said he would treat you to a meal"

When this guy's eyes fell on Ye Bufan's outfit, an air of disdain filled his gaze.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Young Master He is right, it's me."

He Changqing let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with warning.

"What right do you have, just a boy, to ask Miss to dinner"

Ye Bufan ignored his warning completely and continued to smile, saying, "There's no way around it. I don't want to either, but the young lady insisted that I treat her, and I can't be stingy, can I"

"You..."

He Changqing originally wanted to explode, but in order to maintain his image, he eventually held back.

"What tasty food could a young man like you possibly have" He turned his head to look at Zhai Lingxiu, "Miss, how about this Let's have lunch together."

Let me have a cook-off with him and see whose dishes are more delicious.

As the eldest son of the He family, this man was also an extremely shrewd person. He came up with a brilliant strategy of retreating to advance.

He knew that asking Zhai Lingxiu out alone would be very difficult. It would be better to have a meal together, so he could step all over her and show off how much better he was.

"This..."

Zhai Lingxiu was still a little hesitant, but Ye Bufan readily agreed. “Sure, I’d like to see what kind of delicacies Master He can come up with.”

"Look at this guy, so arrogant to agree! He Changqing was instantly overjoyed: "Since that's the case, let's have a match. Miss, please be our judge."

Since it's a competition, we need some stakes to make it interesting. Seeing as you're not exactly rolling in dough, I won't make things too difficult for you. If you lose, you'll have to bark like a dog three times.

Zi Lingxiu frowned. She knew very well that this guy was setting a trap for her. With the strength of the He family, they definitely had a huge advantage in terms of ingredients.

Even if Ye Bufan were incredibly wealthy, the best dishes at Dianzui Xianlou wouldn't compare to theirs.

She said, "Doctor Ye, there's no need for me to watch the competition."oth storage rings in his hand."I refuse to accept this."Deng Jiugong's expression changed, and he finally became enraged, roaring out loud."These are all isolated incidents, mere coincidences. They am...
