"Excuse me, we only serve regular customers here."

Deep in the alley, a burly man in a black suit, wearing sunglasses even at night, blocked Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi's path.

After a long internal struggle, the two finally chose to venture into the alley to investigate.

Looking up at the pink glowing sign behind the man in sunglasses, Su Yuan became even more speechless.

The pink sign had four shining characters written on it.

[Peach Oolong]!

Peach Oolong was a delicious tea drink, everyone knew that.

However, seeing those four words on this sign, in this strange environment, was incredibly bizarre.

Chen Nuoyi didn't realize anything was wrong with those four words.

But for Su Yuan, who had a more active imagination, every stroke of those four words was wrong!

But he couldn't say it... because if he did, he wouldn't be able to speak!

Su Yuan suppressed the urge to complain, cleared his throat, and pretended to be calm as he said:

"We have an acquaintance inside, but I don't know if he's a regular here, if that's his real name, or his stage name."

The man in sunglasses said with a cold face:

"Then describe your acquaintance's appearance. If such a person is here, I'll inform them."

Su Yuan then roughly described Chu Lanxi's height and appearance.

"Are you sure?"

The man in sunglasses' expression shifted slightly.

"Uh, is there a problem? Isn't he an employee here?"

Su Yuan asked, somewhat confused.

The man in sunglasses didn't answer. He raised his hand, pressed his earpiece, and said in a low voice:

"Boss, there are two young people outside looking for you. They say they're your friends."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "???"

The two exchanged glances, seeing each other's disbelief.

Before entering the alley, they had considered many possibilities. They thought Chu Lanxi might be an employee here, or perhaps a customer. But they had never imagined this situation!

Boss!

Chu Lanxi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was the owner of this place?!

This wasn't just a simple connection with the Devilish Dao; this was clearly the leader of the Devilish Sect!

More than ten seconds later, the tightly shut door opened, and a familiar figure appeared before Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.

"I knew it was you two."

Chu Lanxi showed a hint of helplessness on his face:

"So that roast goose you treated me to in the cafeteria earlier was indeed with ulterior motives, wasn't it."

Su Yuan quickly pulled Chu Lanxi aside and said with heartache:

"Lanzi! If you came to a place like this just to make quick money, we can understand, but you shouldn't have opened this kind of shop!"

"You know, starting a shop like this is a minimum of five years. You can't keep going down this wrong path!"

Chen Nuoyi also advised:

"Classmate Chu, why would you fall into the Devilish Dao? If you need money, we can find a part-time job together."

Chu Lanxi listened with a strange expression:

"Five years minimum? What did I do? I just opened a milk tea shop."

"A milk tea shop?"

Su Yuan sneered:

"What kind of milk tea shop opens in such a secluded alley and has a garish pink sign like that?"

Chu Lanxi looked even more innocent:

"Peach Oolong tea is the shop's signature drink. What's wrong with naming the shop after it? As for the color of the sign... I just like pink, okay?"

Seeing Chu Lanxi's earnest explanation, Chen Nuoyi began to waver:

"Su Yuan, did we misunderstand Classmate Chu?"

Su Yuan still sneered: "Lanzi, you can fool your brothers, but don't fool yourself."

One minute later.

Su Yuan, brought behind the counter by Chu Lanxi, stared dumbfounded at the customers quietly drinking tea in the shop.

"No way, man, this really is a milk tea shop!"

Su Yuan was stunned for a long, long time. After a while, he finally asked his final question:

"Since it's a legitimate shop, why didn't you open it in a more prosperous area?"

Chu Lanxi shrugged his shoulders and said:

"When did I ever say this was a legitimate shop? Peach Oolong is a properly registered and filed 17+ Devilish Sect."

"Devilish Sect?"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi both froze.

Chu Lanxi smiled and explained:

"You guys don't understand this, but Devilish Sects can actually exist legally."

"Our cultivation civilization developed after the spiritual energy resurgence, based on ancient cultivation ruins."

"These ruins contain both Righteous Path and Devilish Dao inheritances."

"At the beginning of the spiritual energy resurgence, many people used Devilish Dao methods to commit evil deeds and were struck down by the Righteous Path cultivators. To this day, the Devilish Dao has been almost completely wiped out."

"However, during the development of civilization, many wise individuals gradually discovered that many methods previously deemed Devilish Dao in the ancient cultivation era also had their merits."

"Therefore, some Devilish Dao inheritances with lesser harm were not completely eradicated and could establish legal Devilish Sects. However, one must meet certain conditions to access these Devilish Sects."

"The most common condition is an age restriction. This is how the classifications of 17+ Devilish Sects and 18+ Devilish Sects came about."

"My shop is a 17+ Devilish Sect, so naturally, it cannot be opened in a busy downtown area, and only cultivators aged seventeen and above can come in to consume."

After hearing Chu Lanxi's explanation, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi felt as if a new world had opened up to them.

Forgive them, they were still too young to even know that Devilish Sects could be legalized!

"So, is the Joyful Union Sect real?"

After struggling to process this information, Su Yuan asked curiously.

Chu Lanxi: "That one isn't allowed. They'll be taken to the Execution Immortal Stage after being arrested."

Su Yuan: "Oh, never mind then."

Chen Nuoyi asked, confused:

"But why would a milk tea shop be classified as a 17+ Devilish Sect?"

Chu Lanxi remained silent, instead directly handing the drinks menu to the two of them.

The two heads leaned over the menu. Just by looking at the beginning, they felt like cats with tape stuck to their paws, frantically shaking their hands and flinging the menu far away.

"Imperial Lemon Tea, one hundred and eighty per cup?!"

Su Yuan's eyes almost popped out of his head!

How dare he, how dare this kid Chu Lanxi?

Lemonade that costs three yuan a cup, and you're selling it for one hundred and eighty!

This isn't even a 17+ Devilish Sect anymore; he should be dragged to the Execution Immortal Stage like the sect leader of the Joyful Union Sect.

"Su Yuan, my legs feel a bit weak."

Chen Nuoyi clutched Su Yuan's sleeve, trembling. She was already terrified by the dense rows of zeros on the menu.

Chu Lanxi, however, said calmly:

"Don't be so surprised. There's a reason I'm selling them so expensively."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback and tentatively asked:

"Could it be that the ingredients for these drinks are very good, and they are high-grade Spiritual Fruits with extremely high nutritional value?"

Chu Lanxi: "That's not it. Ordinary Spiritual Fruits that sell for five yuan a jin on the market can be even cheaper at wholesale prices."

Su Yuan: "...As expected, you really should be beheaded."

Chu Lanxi smiled and continued:

"Although the materials for making the milk tea are ordinary, I added other things to it. This is the core secret of my Devilish Sect."
