Chapter 396: Fairy

The next day, after breakfast, the three of them went to the restaurant.

By the time they arrived, the restaurant had already opened. As they entered through the main entrance, they saw an elder who looked to be about fifty years old tidying up inside.

Seeing the three walk in, the elder hurriedly put down what he was doing and came up to them with a warm smile, greeting Ye Wutian, "Shopkeeper, you've arrived."

Since the elder was addressing him as the shopkeeper, Ye Wutian assumed that Short Winter Melon had already informed the restaurant staff about the transfer of ownership.

"Hmm, where is that short, fat one?" Ye Wutian asked.

"Are you referring to the previous shopkeeper?" asked the elder.

"Yes," Ye Wutian nodded in response.

"After you came to purchase the restaurant yesterday, he hastily packed his bags and left," the elder explained.

"Why did he leave in such a hurry?" Ye Wutian asked, puzzled.
