Everything was arranged very reasonably. Ye Yuanjuan was truly very thoughtful, choosing the most luxurious room in the Maple Leaf Inn for them. Qin Hai asked about the price, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Staying here for one night cost one hundred thousand gold taels!
One hundred thousand taels? The Qin family could only earn this amount in a month, and that wasn't even pure profit.
The Imperial Capital was indeed a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
Ling Xiaofei was so happy she couldn't stop smiling, overjoyed in the room.
Meanwhile, Sheng Xinyue muttered, "What's so great about the most luxurious room? It's not even as good as a regular room in my Marquis Inn, sigh..."
However, Sheng Xinyue quickly changed his gaze and said, "Brother Qin, you've traveled a long distance through wind and dew. You haven't eaten anything yet, have you? Let's go to the Marquis Inn for a meal. The chef there can be said to be the best in the Imperial Capital, and there's even spirit beast meat!"
"Spirit beast meat?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofei couldn't stop smiling again and immediately said, "Good, very good, Brother Qin Ning, let's go!"
"Alright, if Xiaofei says go, then let's go!"
Sheng Xinyue then understood that if he wanted to curry favor with Qin Ning, he first had to curry favor with the little girl beside Qin Ning!
The group then stood up again and headed to the Marquis Inn.
When they arrived at the Marquis Inn, the others were surprised again.
Sheng Xinyue really wasn't exaggerating. The Marquis Inn looked more luxurious than the Maple Leaf Inn, and the people who came out to greet guests were all first-class beauties.
"Ninth Young Master!"
A manager quickly stepped forward and said, "The Ninth Young Master has arrived! Your subordinate did not know to greet you from afar. It is truly disrespectful, truly disrespectful!"
"Manager Lu, find me the best room. I want to entertain distinguished guests!"
"Yes, your subordinate will arrange it immediately!"
"No need!"
Qin Ning looked at the inn's main hall and said, "This place is also very good. Let's eat here while it's hot!"
"Didn't you hear? Go arrange it quickly!" Sheng Xinyue said again.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Manager Lu immediately ran off to make arrangements, and everyone took their seats.
Ye Yuanjuan sat to Qin Ning's right, Ling Xiaofei sat to Qin Ning's left, and Sheng Xinyue sat next to Ling Xiaofei.
Although he didn't know who Ling Xiaofei was, for Qin Ning to care about her so much, she must not be simple.
Qin Hai, Elder Mo, and Yun Shuang'er also took their seats.
"Bring out the best dishes, eighteen dishes of 'Crossing the Sea' arranged in a circle!" Sheng Xinyue directly ordered.
"Yes!"
Manager Lu immediately became busy. These eighteen dishes were the most famous delicacies unique to the Marquis Inn. It seemed that the person the Ninth Young Master was entertaining today was indeed a distinguished guest!
Qin Ning was calm; he wasn't surprised by any of this.
He had seen places even more luxurious than this, so such places couldn't surprise him.
To be honest, after seeing all kinds of rare delicacies, he finally realized that it was actually just a comparison made by ordinary mortals!
Sheng Xinyue was very good at conversation. Even sitting at the same table with Ye Yuanjuan didn't make the atmosphere awkward.
Qin Ning was also a little surprised in his heart.
Yun Shuang'er and Elder Mo seemed to be accustomed to it, which suggested that Yun Shuang'er's identity was also not simple.
At this moment, Yun Shuang'er and Elder Mo were also secretly surprised by Qin Ning's reaction.
The two of them had seen more luxurious taverns, so of course, they weren't surprised.
But this Qin Ning was clearly just someone from Lingyun City, yet there wasn't even a hint of surprise or excitement on his face.
This demeanor couldn't possibly be intentionally hidden.
The two grew more and more curious about Qin Ning.
While they were waiting, a few figures slowly approached from outside the tavern.
"Junior Sister Chu, this is the most luxurious tavern in the entire Imperial Capital. Both the food and lodging are top-notch in the Imperial Capital!"
A young man of about twenty, dressed in flowing robes, with a skillfully tailored blue cloak and a handsome face, spoke with a bright smile.
"Yes, that's right, Junior Sister Chu, Senior Brother Xu went to great lengths to reserve a table here this time. The food here is made from spirit beast meat, and eating it is also good for cultivation!"
Another disciple chimed in.
"That's right, Senior Brother Xu is really good to Junior Sister Chu."
"Alright, you all stop bragging!" Senior Brother Xu said with a laugh, "Everyone, sit down too!"
Just then, those people coincidentally sat down at the table next to Qin Ning.
"It's you!"
A slightly surprised voice rang out at this moment.
The girl in the goose-yellow cloak looked at Qin Ning in astonishment.
"What a coincidence!"
Qin Ning smiled faintly as he saw the girl in front of him.
"Why are you here?" The girl looked at Qin Ning, snorted, and said, "This is not a place you can be!"
"Chu Ningxi, you were my fiancée after all, how can you look down on me like this?"
That young girl was Chu Ningxi!
Qin Ning smiled elegantly and said, "What? Seeing me makes you happy?"
"You're still not dead, and you even came to the Imperial Capital. You really have a strong life!"
"I'm your former fiancé after all. I'm not dead, shouldn't you be happy for me?"
Qin Ning continued, "By the way, is there something you still don't know?"
"What is it?"
"Your father... Chu Shanhe, I've killed him. And by the way, Ling Shicheng is also dead. You should tell Ling Tian. If he wants revenge, he can come find me!"
What!
As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Ningxi's body trembled.
Father... is dead!
How could that be?
To deal with the Qin family, the Chu family and the Ling family even invited a powerful expert at the third level of the Spirit Sea realm.
How could the Qin family possibly deal with that?
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll know if you go ask!" Qin Hai said indifferently at this moment, "Chu Ningxi, it's a shame that you and my third brother were childhood sweethearts, yet you colluded with Ling Tian to frame my third brother and steal his Star Gate."
"If you want to rely on Ling Tian to enter the Heavenly God Academy, you absolutely must not trample on my third brother's glory!"
"Qin Hai, you... you can stand up!"
Seeing that Qin Hai's body had recovered, and was even enveloped in a faint spiritual energy, Chu Ningxi's face turned pale.
When Qin Hai said these words, Yun Shuang'er, Ye Yuan'er, and the others were slightly stunned.
Qin Ning was actually a Star Fate martial artist before!
But for a Star Fate martial artist whose Star Gate was stolen, it would be difficult to even survive. Could Qin Ning really have survived?
He truly was no simple young man!
"Junior Sister Chu, who are these people?"
Senior Brother Xu and the others were all very surprised to see this scene.
More than two months ago, Chu Ningxi entered the Heavenly God Academy. Because of her high talent and beautiful appearance, she immediately attracted him.
