Mingxin Xuan

"There are so many experts here. You can't find a city like this in Jinghai," a girl from Pure Moon Island said sincerely.

Wandering through Yunze City, the diverse array of experts and shops left her somewhat dazzled.

The Lord of Pure Moon Island said calmly, "There are indeed many experts, but there's no need to be too surprised. In Jinghai, experts are mostly gathered in sects, while the city is mostly populated by ordinary people. But here, the city itself is a key location for sects, and the Tiannan Peak Summit has attracted many powerful figures, so naturally the scene is grand."

Jingyue Sha nodded in agreement. "Master is right, the scenery here is quite different from Jinghai."

As Jingyue Sha was speaking, everyone felt a strong surge of spiritual energy rushing towards them. When they looked up, they saw a magnificent pavilion in front of them. This pavilion was entirely made of spiritual jade bricks and stones, including some Mid-grade Spirit Jade and a few high-grade spiritual jade.

A huge plaque hangs on the front of the pavilion, bearing three large characters: "Mingxin Xuan".

Spirit jade is the universal currency of Guixu. To build a pavilion entirely using spirit jade as the material is simply too extravagant.

"Where is this place?" Xia Zijian asked curiously.

"Mingxin Xuan is a restaurant owned by the Danxin Sect. Danxin Sect is quite remarkable. Although its strength in the Tiannan Great World is not as great as that of the three ancient kingdoms, Danxin Sect is not limited to the Tiannan Great World. It has many branches all over Guixu. If you add them all up, Danxin Sect is a behemoth, even more powerful than the Cloud-Leaving Empire."

Jingyue Sha began by explaining that she had traveled to the Tiannan Great World a few years ago and was very familiar with many aspects of the place.

"More powerful than the Cloud-Leaving Empire?"

Xia Zijian was also somewhat surprised. Guixu was too vast, and many powerful forces had unimaginably deep foundations.

Jingyue Sha chuckled and continued, "Mingxin Xuan is very famous in Yunze City. The food there is exceptional, especially the main dish called 'Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix Seeking its Mate,' which has attracted countless scholars to come and taste it. However, it's extremely difficult to get a table there; even with a reservation, the waiting time is unpredictable. Ten years ago, I came here and was fortunate enough to obtain a VIP card, which allows me to dine at Mingxin Xuan without a reservation. Would you be interested in trying it?"

Jingyue Sha felt somewhat smug. Having come to the Tiannan Great World, she was practically a half-owner. Before, when she traveled abroad, she had made quite a name for herself in the Tiannan Great World. Now, introducing the seniors and disciples of Pure Moon Island and Tianshu Gate to this luxurious place for a meal brought her a sense of satisfaction.

"Alright, let's try it then." Xia Zijian was very interested. "By the way, Junior Sister Yue Sha, how did you get this VIP card?"

When Xia Zijian asked about this, Jingyue Sha was even happier. She really wanted to praise Xia Zijian, saying, "How come you're so perceptive? I was just waiting for you to ask!"

Jingyue Sha said casually, "This VIP card is nothing special; it was a gift from Mingxin Xuan. Actually Mingxin Xuan doesn't accept applications for VIP cards. Wealth is one aspect, but more importantly, you need a certain level of fame and status. Back when I was traveling in the Tiannan Great World, I fought against several geniuses in Yunze City, and my record was decent. I gained a little fame, Mingxin Xuan sent me this VIP card, which I accepted."

"Oh, is that so?"

Xia Zijian's eyes lit up; he immediately became interested. As a young and promising talent, he was naturally competitive and extremely confident in himself.

Since Jingyue Sha has obtained a VIP card, so can he. He's sure to rise to fame at this Tiannan Peak Summit!

At that time, he will not only be able to make a big splash in front of Pure Moon Island and win the favor of the beauties of Pure Moon Island, but also gain the praise of the elders of Tianshu Gate.

"Since you're all interested, let's go in and take a look," Ren Yunzong said with a smile. He naturally saw the competitive spirit among the younger generation, which he considered a good thing.

Dining at Mingxin Xuan requires reservations only. However, Mingxin Xuan itself is not as popular as people imagine; many of its private rooms are empty.

As soon as the group entered Mingxin Xuan, a beautiful woman immediately came to greet them, "Do you have a reservation...?"

Before the beautiful hostess could finish speaking, Jingyue Sha slammed her VIP card on the table.

With a soft "snap," Jingyue Sha said slowly and deliberately, "Book me a private room, a big one, since there are many of us."

The beautiful waitress glanced at the VIP card and smiled politely, "Excuse me, young lady, Mingxin Xuan is fully booked today."

"Huh? Why?"

Jingyue Sha was a little dumbfounded. "Aren't there some private rooms still empty? And I have a VIP card, so why are you telling me there are no seats available?"

The beautiful hostess said, "Today Princess Hongyi's birthday, and it's also during the Tiannan Peak Summit, so Princess Hongyi is taking this opportunity to host a banquet for her friends and has booked all these private rooms downstairs."

"Booked... booked?" Jingyue Sha was dumbfounded. "Aren't the rooms at Mingxin Xuan supposed to be very luxurious? A VIP card can only book one room, right? Why can she book the whole place by herself, but I can't even book one?"

"Well..." The beautiful waitress glanced at Jingyue Sha apologetically, "It's because Princess Hongyi's VIP level is much higher, while yours isn't high enough..."

The beautiful waitress's words left Jingyue Sha speechless.

Not qualified VIP level!

Jingyue Sha felt her face burning. She had originally brought everyone to Mingxin Xuan for a meal and wanted to show off a bit. In her imagination, she would order a table Mingxin Xuan's signature dishes, and when the main dish, Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix, was served, it would surely amaze everyone.

Now, instead of showing off, she's been labeled as mentally challenged.

When Mingxin Xuan handed her the VIP card, she was quite pleased with herself. But thinking about it carefully, she realized she hadn't asked about the VIP card's level. Was this the lowest level VIP card? If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have wanted it!

Jingyue Sha was frustrated. This reversal came too quickly, catching her off guard. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. If it were just disciples of Pure Moon Island, it would be fine, but in front of Tianshu Gate, and... Yi Yun!

Jingyue Sha was incredibly annoyed by this guy. She had originally wanted to show this arrogant fellow his reputation in Yunze City, but instead, he had caused this whole mess. Wasn't he going to be laughed at by Yi Yun?

Thinking of all this, Jingyue Sha blushed and stole a glance at Yi Yun. She saw that Yi Yun seemed to have no expression on his face, yet he also seemed to be smiling. Whether it was just her imagination or not, Jingyue Sha felt that Yi Yun was mocking her.

Jingyue Sha gritted his teeth and secretly whispered to the beautiful waitress using his spiritual energy transmission, "Miss, could you please make an exception? Are there any private rooms upstairs? I can pay a little more for the room fee..."

The beautiful waitress shook her head with a troubled expression. There were indeed a few rooms upstairs, but given the level of Jingyue Sha, they were still unavailable. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but during the Tiannan Peak Summit, private rooms were extremely sought after.

"Moon Sand, let's just forget about it!"

Jingyue Yin spoke up, saying that she didn't care whether she could eat at Mingxin Xuan or not; there was no need to argue about such a thing.

Just as Jingyue Yin finished speaking, a group of people walked in through the door. The leader was a girl in red. She looked to be around twenty years old, with almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, a full and proud figure, and a pair of straight and tall legs.

"Is my banquet ready?"

The girl spoke, her voice clear, loud, and incredibly pleasant to the ear.

"Your Highness has arrived so early! Are you ready? Of course, you are ready."

As they were talking, a woman in her thirties who looked like an ordinary person appeared out of nowhere, greeting the girl in red with a smile on her face.

"How could I possibly neglect Princess Hongyi's birthday banquet? Of course, I've prepared everything perfectly."

The young woman's voice was solicitous. Although Mingxin Xuan was backed by the Danxin Sect, a powerful and intimidating organization, it was still just one of the Danxin Sect's Mingxin Xuan.

Since the establishment is located in Yunze City, it is essential to understand the principle that harmony brings wealth. This young woman is the third manager of the Cloud Heart Pavilion, and she will personally come out to greet distinguished guests like the Princess in Red.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Aunt Su." Princess Hongyi was very polite to the young woman.

Just as Princess Hongyi was speaking, she caught a glimpse of Jingyue Sha and her group.

Upon seeing Jingyue Sha, Princess Hongyi was stunned. "It's you?"

Jingyue Sha naturally saw Princess Hongyi as well. In fact, the moment Princess Hongyi entered, Jingyue Sha recognized her, and her face had already turned quite ugly.

"So you are Princess Hongyi!"

Jingyue Sha clenched her small fists and said indignantly. In her early years, she traveled through the Tiannan Great World and met many people in Yunze City. This Princess Hongyi was one of them. Of course, the process of the two of them getting to know each other was not so pleasant.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to Yunze City, I ran into this red-clad princess again. What a twist of fate!
