...
A regular person, even a trace of Spirit power aura shown by Zeng Yi, was enough to make him unable to resist. But there was no other way, if he didn't do this, how could he make a big boss take time out of his schedule to meet with an unknown small figure like himself?
"I...I...I'll go right away, respected Spirit Master." The waiter trembled in fear, his speech stuttered, and he respectfully retreated after speaking.
After the waiter left, Zeng Yi picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, feeling unsatisfied, so he took out a wine gourd and drank while waiting.
After a while, Zeng Yi in the private room heard a series of hurried footsteps, indicating that someone was coming towards his location.
Bang~
The door of the private room was rudely pushed open, and three figures walked in.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Orchid Restaurant?"
The person speaking was a young girl, her voice filled with anger. As her gaze swept over, she saw a young boy, around the same age as her, sitting in a seat and examining her.
She couldn't help but be taken aback. The waiter had informed her that a Spirit Master wanted to see her father, and from the appearance of the Spirit Master, he seemed to be looking for trouble. Since her father happened to be absent from the restaurant, she took charge in his absence.
So handsome!
After seeing Zeng Yi's appearance, the young girl couldn't help but feel a moment of distraction. But when she remembered that he was here to cause trouble, she immediately adjusted her mentality.
"Are you here to cause trouble?" The girl's words made Zeng Yi laugh, "I haven't done anything, how am I causing trouble?"
Zeng Yi looked at the girl in front of him, as well as the two men behind her. He could sense the Spirit power fluctuations from all three of them, they were all Spirit Masters.
"Otherwise, why would a Spirit Master like you want to find my father?" The girl approached, supporting herself on the table with both hands, staring at Zeng Yi fiercely.
"Is Wang Tongfu your father?" Zeng Yi was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the son of that old man turned out to be the owner of this restaurant, and he also had a very beautiful daughter who was a Spirit Master with decent talent.
"That's right! Since you're also a Spirit Master, I advise you not to have any crooked ideas in my Orchid Restaurant, otherwise you won't have a good time!" Wang Yao proudly said.
There were some Spirit Masters who thought that their family-owned restaurants were run by regular people, trying to cause trouble. This kind of situation had happened more than once or twice. But without some strength, could they open such a shop in Skywater City?
Wang Yao saw that Zeng Yi appeared to be about the same age as herself, and even though he was a Spirit Master, his strength was probably the same as hers at best. With this level of strength, he still wanted to stir up trouble? That was really looking down on people.
Wang Yao, with her innate level five Spirit power, was currently fifteen years old and had a level twenty-seven Spirit power. Her talent was also considered above average in the academy.
Zeng Yi said, "I was just entrusted to deliver something to him."
As he spoke, Zeng Yi reached out and waved his hand on the table, and a black glazed jar appeared.
"By the way, let me say a couple of things."
Seeing a glazed jar appear out of thin air, Wang Yao felt surprised. She knew it was a spatial Spirit tool. This kind of thing couldn't be possessed by an ordinary Spirit Master, so it seemed that this person's identity was not simple.
"What is this?" Wang Yao looked at the black glazed jar on the table with curiosity.
Zeng Yi looked at the girl and calmly said, "A father's love for his son."
"What do you mean?" Wang Yao couldn't understand Zeng Yi's words. "Since you want to give this to my father, and he's not here at the moment, you can just give it to me."
As she spoke, Wang Yao quickly took the jar in her hands.
"Let me see what precious thing is inside."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Wang Yao's actions startled Zeng Yi, and he stopped her, wanting to prevent her from proceeding.
However, Wang Yao had already opened the jar, and a pungent smell rushed out, instantly filling the entire private room.
Bang~
This pungent smell entered Wang Yao's nose. As someone who grew up in a pampered environment, she had never even seen pickled vegetables before, let alone this special smell. The moment she smelled this pungent odor, she couldn't bear it and her face twisted in discomfort.
Her hand couldn't help but loosen, and the jar slipped from her grip and fell to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound. The jar shattered, and a jar full of pickled vegetables and vinegar spilled all over the floor.
"What is this stinky thing, ew~" Smelling the odor and seeing the mess on the ground that she considered dirty, she couldn't help retching and dry heaving while leaning against the wall.
Meanwhile, Zeng Yi, looking at the pickled vegetables scattered all over the place, had an extremely grim expression.
"Dear benefactor, I don't have any precious things to give to my son, so I entrust you with this jar of pickled vegetables."
The old man's words echoed in Zeng Yi's ears.
Although he didn't have any friendship with this old man and had no obligation to do this for him, Zeng Yi couldn't bear to see such a lonely old man spend his days alone. He really wanted to help this old man.
Perhaps it was the old man's situation that brought back memories of the past, the days of living alone without anyone to accompany him were truly difficult and painful.
In this life, after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, Zeng Yi was without any burdens. His parents were gone and he was the only one left in his family. Although the village chief grandfather treated him well, he wasn't his own blood grandfather and had his own family, so Zeng Yi didn't need to worry too much about him. But thinking back to his parents before transmigrating, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel emotional. Although there was still a younger sister in his family, daughters would eventually marry off and wouldn't be able to care for their parents all the time. He couldn't imagine the life his parents would have in their old age without anyone to take care of them.
Zeng Yi believed that no matter what, filial piety should always come first in being human.
Originally, he thought that the old man's son might have some hidden troubles or encountered some unfortunate events. But seeing the current situation, Zeng Yi really felt angry.
Clearly, they were living so well in Skywater City, being the boss of a restaurant, was it really that difficult to provide for their own elderly father? Letting their elderly father live a bitter life alone in the countryside for many years without any concern, while they enjoyed comfort and happiness in Skywater City, how could they sleep soundly at night?
"What are you up to, giving this kind of filthy thing to my father?" After finishing her dry heaving, Wang Yao's face turned pale. She angrily questioned Zeng Yi, but she didn't notice the gloomy expression on Zeng Yi's face.
Clang!
A clear sound of drawing a sword echoed.
In an instant, Zeng Yi's figure appeared in front of Wang Yao, the bright blade blade resting against her fair neck.
"You..."
Feeling the cold temperature, Wang Yao was so scared she couldn't even speak properly, her whole body trembling.
"What do you want! Release our young lady, otherwise you won't be able to leave Orchid Restaurant."
Seeing their young lady being held hostage, the two guards immediately became furious, but they also started to panic in their hearts. They quickly released their Spirit rings and exerted their Spirit power to suppress Zeng Yi.
Prevent me from leaving?
Seeing the two people in front of him, their bodies shining with three Spirit rings, Zeng Yi couldn't help but find it amusing.
With two Spirit Elder who had three rings each, one white and two yellow rings, these low-level Spirit Elder dared to say such things to him?
In the shocked gaze of the two Spirit Elder, Zeng Yi's figure disappeared, and then one of the Spirit Elder felt a pain in the back of his neck, his consciousness started to blur, and his body weakly slumped down.
As for the other Spirit King, with a knife held against his neck by Zeng Yi, under the overwhelming pressure from Zeng Yi's fierce aura, he couldn't move a muscle.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Zeng Yi reveal his back to her, Wang Yao immediately unleashed her martial Spirit and used her Spirit skill to attack Zeng Yi. However, before the attack could be launched, a glimmer of silver light reflected in her eyes, advancing towards her rapidly.
"Ah!"
Swoosh~
The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a long sword directly pierced through Wang Yao's clothes, causing her body to be impaled on the wall.
Clang clang clang~
Seeing the long sword's hilt shaking continuously, emitting a trembling sound, her mind went blank and she became dumbfounded.
"Go and call Wang Tongfu over, don't be late, I have activities tonight."
"Understood."
Staring at Zeng Yi's deep and abyss-like black eyes, he felt as if his Spirit was being sucked in, and he didn't have any resistance in his heart.
