Jiang Liu and his group had no interest in paying attention to these people. They were already heading straight to the top floor of the restaurant, greeted by the innkeeper.
After Jiang Liu and the others left, the customers on this floor dared not make any more noise and hurriedly ran to the counter to pay their bills and leave.
Although they had never heard of any True Inheritor Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect ever oppressing the kind-hearted, they were still instinctively afraid.
Especially now, when the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect have joined forces to defeat the Haotian Sect.
The prestige of the two sects among all martial artists in the world reached its peak.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble, they had no choice but to stay away from it.
Jiang Liu and his group followed the manager up to the top floor of the restaurant, only to discover that there were no private rooms on the entire top floor, just a large hall.
The guests who were originally seated in the rooftop hall fell silent when they saw Jiang Liu and his group.
Then, without waiting for the shopkeeper to call them, they all walked towards the stairwell on their own.
As they passed by Jiang Liu and his group, they all bowed respectfully to Jiang Liu with clasped hands before going downstairs.
Jiang Liu and the others nodded, and then, at the restaurant manager's invitation, walked toward the remaining clean tables.
Before Jiang Liu and the others could speak, Second Senior Sister Qiao Jiao spoke first.
He said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, have someone tidy up and bring out all your Number One Brew. We're going to have a good drink tonight."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu felt a chill run down his spine. He knew firsthand how much these senior sisters could drink.
Although I don't know the alcohol content of this Number One Brew.
However, this is not inside the Sects, so it wouldn't be good if everyone got drunk.
Jiang Liu quickly stopped the shopkeeper who was about to go downstairs, saying, "Shopkeeper, please wait. Let's try two jars first, and we can talk about the rest later."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Qiao Jiao with a troubled expression.
He knew that these people were all True Inheritor Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them. If he did, his restaurant would be out of business.
Qiao Jiao glanced at Jiang Liu and could only nod in agreement with Jiang Liu suggestion.
Seeing Qiao Jiao nod in agreement, the restaurant manager then walked towards the stairwell.
At this moment, inside the inner courtyard of the palace, in the secret passage of the sleeping quarters, in front of a secret room along the Dao Path.
With a series of clicks, the previously tightly closed door to the secret room slowly opened.
Two middle-aged women stood in front of the secret chamber, and behind them stood a group of disciples dressed in the robes of the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect.
A relieved smile appeared on their faces.
After several days of research and repair, Tian Ling and Gong Mo, along with their respective disciples and followers, finally managed to open the damaged secret chamber.
Before the two could give any instructions, two people immediately ran out of the secret passage to report to Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue.
Tian Ling and Gong Mo stood guard at the entrance to the secret room, not taking a single step into it.
Before long, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue arrived together.
It turns out that after the meeting, the two sat together to discuss what they needed to do next.
Upon hearing the report from the disciples of the two sects that the secret passage and chamber had been opened, they were astonished.
The two were also somewhat interested in this secret chamber of the Great Qian Imperial Family, after all, the Great Qian Imperial Family had existed for hundreds of years, and there must be some treasures there.
Although the more valuable items have probably already been taken away, the secret room is quite large, so there must have been quite a few things left behind.
After the two arrived, Tian Ling and Gong Mo stood up and unleashed several bursts of energy towards the doorpost next to the secret chamber.
After a while, the entire secret room began to brighten up.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch was the first to enter the secret chamber, followed by Gongsun Haoyue.
After the two of them saw the contents of the secret chamber, they were surprised by the amount of treasure hidden inside.
The two then began to examine the contents of the secret room, but after looking around, they found nothing of interest.
These treasures are numerous, Yu Qi items, none have been seen yet.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch turned to Tian Ling beside him and said, "Have someone come and take inventory and make a list."
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Nangong Yun and Yuchi Yue's voices rang out simultaneously, "Sect Master, we've arrived."
Originally, he went to report to Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue's disciples, but then turned around and reported to Nangong Yun and Yuchi Yue.
The two men quickly gathered the disciples from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to take stock of the valuables.
"Alright, now that you're here, I'll leave it to you," Gongsun Haoyue said with a smile.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch glanced at the shelves behind him and found that several of them were already empty, so he knew that there weren't many valuable items left.
What's left are probably resources needed for daily cultivation; the cultivation techniques and manuals are almost gone, presumably they were taken away.
Because the most important thing for a faction is its internal cultivation techniques and secret manuals; they can leave everything else behind.
However, the cultivation manual is definitely the first thing I'll take with me.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue walked out of the Great Qian Imperial Family Treasury together, discussing the further integration of the two sects as they walked.
During today's joint meeting, they also noticed some conflicts between the two groups.
If we don't take advantage of this opportunity for joint governance to resolve the conflict between the two groups...
If that goes on for too long, it will definitely create greater obstacles to the alliance between the two factions.
Because if the two factions were to jointly govern, friction between them would definitely increase, and any attempt to unite them at that time would face even greater resistance.
After much discussion, the two still felt that if the two families wanted to further unite, marriage was the fastest way.
If we're just thinking about a marriage alliance, the best candidate between the two factions is Jiang Liu.
The two of them felt a bit of a headache just thinking about Jiang Liu's attitude.
Suddenly, Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked at Gongsun Haoyue with a strange gaze, which Flowing Cloud Matriarch Gongsun Haoyue feeling bewildered.
I don't understand what she meant by looking at me like that.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch scrutinized Gongsun Haoyue for a while, just as Gongsun Haoyue was about to lose her temper.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch, with an expression of anticipation, said, "Actually, is it because Jiang Liu doesn't like the chosen person that he disagrees with the marriage?"
"Oh? So you mean, change the person? Jiang Liu should be able to agree?" Gongsun Haoyue was a little confused.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch suppressed a laugh, nodded, and said, "If it's a replacement, he should agree, mainly because he wouldn't dare to refuse."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Haoyue became curious and couldn't help but ask, "Who is it? Who has such great charm? And why doesn't he dare to refuse?"
Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded and said, "If it were you and Jiang Liu to be married, would he dare to refuse?"
After saying this, Flowing Cloud Matriarch immediately used her movement technique to flee far away, because she was also afraid that Gongsun Haoyue would be enraged!
Gongsun Haoyue was stunned when she heard what Flowing Cloud Matriarch. When she tried to find Flowing Cloud Matriarch again, she found that she had already run far away.
Gongsun Haoyue was so angry that she felt dizzy. How could she, an old woman who was one or two hundred years old, be harassed by someone today? And be forced into a marriage alliance?
After leaving the secret passage, Flowing Cloud Matriarch flew towards his residence.
The thought of Gongsun Haoyue possibly turning red in anger made her incredibly happy.
It should be noted that the two of them have been fighting for one or two hundred years without a clear winner.
I never expected that today, things would turn out this way, leaving her in an awkward position.
However, Flowing Cloud Matriarch then thought of another possibility: Could it be that Gongsun Haoyue would agree to his proposal?
What if she agrees to this proposal? What does Flowing Cloud Matriarch think of that scenario? That would be quite a show.
Thinking of this, Flowing Cloud Matriarch smiled happily.
