Imperial City, first floor

Cui Haoyan had a smile on his face, like a refreshing breeze in spring. Although he wasn't optimistic about the upcoming intercollegiate exchange competition, at least his mood was good for now.

Upon hearing Cui's words, the others also showed interest on their faces. It was their first time in Qingxiao Country, and it would be a waste not to explore.

"Since we're here, it would be a waste not to take a look around, right?" Dongfang Yu chuckled. "Let's go!"

After leaving the inn, they first went to a restaurant to inquire, and they learned that the food at the First Floor of Qingxiao Country was the most delicious.

Without hesitation, they headed to the First Floor. Each place had its own specialties, and since they had finally arrived in Qingxiao Country, they felt relieved and naturally wanted to find the most delicious food here.

Standing in front of the entrance of the First Floor, everyone's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment.

On the golden signboard were three large characters: "First Floor," with a dragon and a phoenix dancing. This First Floor was truly deserving of its name, being the undisputed number one restaurant in the imperial city of Qingxiao Country.

As Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others walked into the First Floor, a waiter greeted them with a smile. "Esteemed guests, there are no more private rooms on the second floor. Would you mind dining in the main hall?"

Everyone nodded. Sitting in the main hall was also a good choice because people liked to discuss hot topics over tea or meals.

Being newcomers, they didn't know much about Qingxiao Country, so perhaps they could hear some favorable news.

Guided by the waiter, Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others took their seats in the center of the main hall.

It must be said that the business at this First Floor was truly booming. Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others deliberately arrived after the peak hours, but they didn't expect the restaurant to still be filled with customers.

"You all seem unfamiliar here. I guess it's your first time at our First Floor. Would you like me to recommend some of our signature dishes?" The waiter was evidently enthusiastic and started introducing them upon seeing the unfamiliar faces of Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others.

Seeing the waiter's enthusiastic demeanor, Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of him.

"In that case, please bring us a few of the First Floor's signature dishes. There are eight of us. You can decide which dishes to serve us," Bai Li Hongzhuang said with a smile.

"Alright!" The waiter nodded. "Please wait a moment, the food will be served soon."

After the waiter left, Zhan Yunfeng smiled and said, "Although we don't know how good the food at this First Floor is, the waiter is eloquent and clever."

Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "In my opinion, the owner of this restaurant must have put a lot of effort into training the waitstaff."

"I agree. The restaurant's decoration is very elegant, with a touch of luxury. It's quite distinctive compared to the restaurants we've been to before," Dongfang Yu praised.

However, while Dongfang Yu and the others were admiring the layout of the First Floor, they were unaware that there were people on the second floor observing them.

"Second Brother, look down there, there are two beautiful women!"

In a private room, a young boy of about seventeen had an excited gleam in his eyes as his gaze fell upon Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others at the table.

"Third Brother, there are only a few outstanding beauties in Qingxiao Country. Where else could there be any exceptional ones?"

Across from the young boy, a man of about nineteen, dressed in a green robe, had a bored expression on his handsome face.
