Seeing Xue Qinghe looking at him intently, Tang Ming pretended to not know her as he looked back and asked with a confused expression :
"Do I know you? Why do you keep staring at me."
Xue Qinghe was a little startled by the question but smiled apologetically as he said, "I apologise for my rudeness. I was just interested as it is a very rare sight to see an elder of Immortals Love."
Ning Fengzhi then slightly stepped forward as he introduced himself and the others.
"Elder of Immortals Love, it is really a very rare sight to see you. Let me introduce myself, I'm sect master of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda clan, Ning Fengzhi and the person beside me is the crown prince of Heaven Dou Empire. Would you like to join us at the table?"
Tang Ming always believed in giving someone their due respect even more so when the other person is so polite.
"Oh! So it's sect master Ning and crown prince and the person behind you must be the famous Sword Douluo. I have heard if your good name Forgive me for not recognising you." Tang Ming said as he greeted them as he continued, " Though I would like to decline your offer."
Even though their expression didn't change much as Ning Fengzhi only sighed but he can still see Sword Douluo looking at him or more like glaring at him.
"What kind of person would I be if you have to invite me in my own hotel. Moreover if the chief came to know how I didn't show you respect, he would definitely be angry at me."
"So, allow me to invite you three to join me at the ninth floor." Tang Ming said with great eloquence.
Ning Fengzhi who was a little disappointed as he again didn't get to meet an elder of Immortals Love immediately beamed with joy as he smiled widely.
Even Chen Xin who had a stern face showed a small smile. And well there's nothing to say about Qian Renxue's acting.
"Then we'll trouble you." As Ning Fengzhi and the three followed him.
Tang Ming seeing this can't help but let his mind wander as he thought to himself.
'How can that little missy be the daughter of sect master Ning. She didn't have even an ounce of integrity and patience as him.'
But remembering her and others, a smile unconsciously formed at his lips.
The ninth floor of the hotel is nothing exceptional than other floors except there is literally no one here and it's very quiet. Only some staffs can be seen working here and there.
The four of them choose a cabin near the window and sat down. Just as they sat two men hurriedly came and greeted them as one of them said :
"I apologise for not recieving you elder. I'm the appointed manager of this hotel and beside me is the head chef of the hotel. Whatever you would like to order, please tell him."
Tang Ming can't help but think that he is hearing the word apologize too many times today. But he let it off as he glanced at the three of them and then said to the manager.
"Bring three of each exclusive speciality for them and for me bring two full serving of chicken wings, barbecued steak with the soup. Also bring three bottles of Monkey Sage Wine." Tang Ming ordered as all three of them looked at him gobsmacked. All the speciality of the Immortals Dine cost over thousands gold coins and they don't have to say anything about Monkey Sage Wine as a single bottle of it cost ten thousand gold coins.
The manager didn't even flinch as he noted down all the orders, bowed down a little and left with the chef as if it is normal to eat a single lunch of tens of thousands of gold coins.
Ning Fengzhi immediately regained his composure as he said hurriedly, "You don't need to spend so much money for the lunch..."
But Tang Ming cut off him as he said in a relaxed tone :
"You don't need to worry about money, sect master Ning. The one thing I can say that we at Immortals Love don't lack is money. Even that manager has a monthly salary of ten thousand gold coins. And let me tell you a secret, anyone who is an elder at Immortals Love can eat and drink wine as much as they want without using a single gold coins." Tang Ming said with a smile as he continued, "Though there are currently only four or five elder in Immortals Love including me."
Ning Fengzhi and the other were stunned hearing this. An elder can eat as much as he want without caring. And he can even drink wine as good as Monkey Sage Wine for f-free..!?
To be honest, as the sect master of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda clan, he never liked to drink very much because of the responsibility of the sect but once he drank the Monkey Sage Wine, he has fallen in love with it. Not only he but the other two elder of his sect, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo too loved this wine very much and had even fought each other for a single bottle of it once.
After listening to the young elder, Ning Fengzhi nodded his head as they all waited for the food to arrive.
Some ten minutes later two beautiful women can be seen dragging a cart each toward them. On one of them is food and on the other is three bottles of premium Monkey Sage Wine.
The one dragging the cart holding food, placed all the dishes on the tables neatly and then left.
Tang Ming took up a bottle and gave them the other two as he said, "Treat this two as a little gift from me."
And without saying anything further, Tang Ming opened the cork of the bottle and started chugging it down. Only after drinking half the bottle did he stop and said :
"No matter how many times I drink it, I can't never seem to have enough."
He then looked at Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Xue Qinghe who were looking at him with jaw wide opened while holding an extremely small and delicate jade cup full of wine in their hands.
Tang Ming immediately guessed what they were thinking as he coughed a little in embarassment.
"Cough..cough..don't mind me. I like to drink directly from the bottles." Tang Ming said as he thought in his heart.
'Damn it, I shouldn't have drank directly from the bottle. It's not the forest anymore. *Sigh* I need to be careful about table manners.'
They all silently ate their dishes and this time Tang Ming followed them and too ate slowly but anybody with good eyes can see that he is having difficulty eating while maintaining manners and shits.
After eating, they all can't help but praise the chef for his cooking. The dishes were all made very delicious. Tang Ming even called the manager and asked him to give the head chef a bonus.
The four of them continued to chat with each other as they continue to drink wine slowly. Ning Fengzhi even managed to struck a deal with him.
"We can't supply more than thirty bottles of Monkey Sage Wine, a hundred bottles of Sage Wine and a thousand bottle of Jade Wine a month. But I can give you three the right to eat at the ninth floor but you have to pay for it." Tang Ming said with a firm stance.
"*Sigh* if you say so. But make that so you deliever the thirty bottles of Monkey Sage Wine at the start of each months." Ning Fengzhi sighed as he finally get to have a good supply of wine directly from Immortals Love.
A single bottle of Monkey Sage Wine cost around ten thousand gold coins in the market but he managed to whittle down the prize to eight thousand gold coins per bottle and a single bottle of Jade Wine cost around 1000-1500 gold coins but he managed to get it around 800 gold coins per bottle.
Ning Fengzhi felt that he had struck a good deal and it only happened because the elder is quite young and inexperienced.
Same can't be said about Tang Ming who can probably guess what Ning Fengzhi is thinking by the victorious smile on his face but he was laughing like mad in his mind.
'Oh look at the smiling sect master..Hahahah..if he knew that even the Monkey Sage Wine that he paid eight thousand gold coins for a bottle cost me nothing more than a slight amount of spirit power...Hahahaha'
"It's nice doing business with you, sect master Ning." Tang Ming said as he was controlling himself to not burst out laughing.
During the whole conversation, Xue Qinghe was looking at him like he would eat him any second. Seeing him like this, Tang Ming knew that he had managed to arouse Qian Renxue suspicion somehow. So he thought of teasing her as an idea came into his mind.
He suddenly turned his head toward the quiet Xue Qinghe and whispered something through spirit communication as he smiled though it can't be seen because of the mask, "Look, crown prince please don't look at me like this. It's making me uncomfortable."
Xue Qinghe who was staring at him all time was stunned hearing his noise in his ears. He turned toward Ning Fengzhi to see if he too heard only to see him smiling and talking with Tang Ming.
"Don't look anywhere, I'm talking with you through spirit communication. I didn't know at first but after seeing you continuously stare at me, I know that you had somewhat guessed who I am." Again a whisper came into his ears.
"I didn't know you too swing that way crown prince, if you want, you can come meet me at the evening at Immortals Love headquarter at the east gate. Though you should come quietly as I don't want other people to know about it.'' Tang Ming said with a very gentle voice as he winked at Xue Qinghe.
At first he didn't get what the elder was trying to say but after a few moments his face became embarrassed as he blushed very heavily.
"It's not like that, elder. I wasn't staring at you because I like you that..." But his voice started getting low as he looked at the shocked Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
Only now did he noticed that because of embarassment he had shouted frantically instead of sending a message through spirit communication.
AND CUT 😎.
