Chapter 144

Xiao Cheng sighed inwardly, his expression a bit helpless.

Although he knew for a long time that the recent actions of Lingyun Academy would attract the attention of various forces that had come to Jiuyao City, there was nothing he could do about it now.

Anyway, the news about Origin Mall would spread eventually, so there was no harm in telling them.

Xiao Cheng only thought for a moment before making his decision.

"It's not a secret anyway." Xiao Cheng shrugged, his face full of indifference. "Of course, it's okay to tell you!"

"Haha, refreshing! Let's talk about it over a meal!" Wei Yi laughed. "Waiter! Order!"

Before the words fell, a waiter quickly came in.

Fengxian Tower knew well enough to have a junior attendant waiting nearby for such distinguished guests.

"Guests, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked respectfully.

"This, this, and this..." Wei Yi flipped through the menu, pointing to various dishes casually.

"That should be enough!"

"Understood, I will inform the chef immediately!"

Wei Yi continued, "Bring everything else on the menu as well!"

The waiter was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. "Yes, yes, right away!"

He then ran out quickly.

Xiao Cheng smiled. "Brother Wei, your boldness is as impressive as ever!"

Indeed, as a pharmacist, Wei Yi was not short of money!

"I heard that Brother Wei has already been appreciated by an elder of Yaogu and accepted as a direct disciple?" Liu Ruyu smiled.

Fifth Wuying continued to remain silent.

Soon, the dishes were served one by one.

Xiao Cheng began to briefly talk about Origin Mall.

Of course, he only mentioned a small part, merely introducing how amazing the products in the store were.

"You mean there's a very special shop nearby?" Wei Yi frowned, looking puzzled.

"The effects of the food are comparable to high-grade pills? Brother Xiao, are you sure you're not joking?"

Liu Ruyu also had a curious look on her face.

If it weren't for Xiao Cheng's serious expression, Liu Ruyu would have thought he was making it up.

Fifth Wuying also frowned slightly.

"I know you don't believe me," Xiao Cheng said, shrugging helplessly. It seemed he had expected this reaction.

"Of course, you can go and see for yourself."

Then, Xiao Cheng told the three of them the location of Origin Mall.

Before leaving, he seriously reminded them, "By the way, that store is not to be trifled with. Don't cause any trouble there."

Seeing Xiao Cheng's serious expression, Liu Ruyu laughed out loud.

Xiao Cheng was puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"

"Do you think that with our identity and strength, we need to be afraid of anything?"

The corner of Liu Ruyu's mouth turned up in a smile that could turn all sentient beings upside down.

She did have the confidence to say this.

Her strength was the highest among them, having reached the peak of the soul realm, just one step away from returning to the original!

Moreover, as a contemporary saint of the Yaochi Holy Land, with all her cards, she could even hold her own against a master of Wendao!

"Believe it or not," Xiao Cheng said indifferently with a shrug.

After all, he and the three were just acquaintances and had nothing to do with each other.

Next, it was time for dinner.

Xiao Cheng enjoyed his meal, but the other three were less focused.

They were all carefully contemplating what Xiao Cheng had said earlier.

After the meal, Xiao Cheng politely left Fengxianlou.

The remaining three people were silent.

Wei Yi broke the silence. "What do you think about what Brother Xiao said?"

Fifth Wuying spoke, his voice a bit hoarse. "He has no reason to lie to us."

A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Ruyu's mouth. "I am really interested in that store."

After a brief conversation, the three had already made their decision.
