Inside the Immortal Flow Inn.

Cheng Buzheng smiling, chatting idly with Jiang Siling, while waiting for Jiang Fugui to arrive.

Not long after.

That conspicuous figure descended the stairs.

Jiang Siling saw the smiling Jiang Fugui and asked:

Where is Master?

Jiang Fugui shook his head helplessly.

See here.

A thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Siling's almond-shaped eyes before she said:

"Let's go then!"

Immediately.

The three of them left the inn's lobby and walked outside.

Jiang Siling remained calm, but a hint of joy flickered in her eyes as she nonchalantly led the way forward.

Noticing her expression, Cheng Buzheng knew that Jiang Siling was really looking forward to this feast.

Similarly, Cheng Buzheng is the same!

But the expression on Jiang Fugui's face at this moment was no longer the look of delight he had shown when he asked the Nascent Soul True Lord about cultivation.

At this moment, only a visible look of heartache was on his face; the flesh on his face trembled slightly, and he looked utterly listless!

In response to this...

Cheng Buzheng him, fearing that if he went over to persuade Jiang Fugui, Jiang Fugui would immediately change the location of the gathering. Then, with light steps and a happy mood, he followed Jiang Siling toward the Jade Jade Pavilion.

Jiang Fugui watched his Little Sister and Cheng Buzheng figures. No one came to comfort him, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.

He deliberately made that expression to attract their attention so they could persuade him to go to another restaurant, and he took the opportunity to reluctantly agree.

The prices at the Jade Jade Pavilion were simply too high. I was already being pestered by the Little Sister, and I couldn't keep my mouth shut, so I accidentally agreed.

--This is really going to cost us money.

He showed the same expression yesterday, just so that Junior Brother Cheng could persuade him not to spend so much money.

I originally thought that my expression yesterday wasn't very obvious and that Junior Brother Cheng hadn't noticed.

But with such a rich expression just now, it's impossible that Junior Brother Cheng didn't see it.

It was obvious that Junior Brother Cheng had changed; he had become someone he didn't recognize!

Jiang Fugui was filled with resentment, muttering to himself:

"Hey, Junior Brother Cheng! Do you know that your Martial Brother has always believed in you?"

"You've really disappointed your Martial Brother!"

····

Seeing that they were about to reach Jade Jade Pavilion, Jiang Siling turned around and called out to Jiang Fugui:

"Brother, hurry up!"

Immediately, Cheng Buzheng turned to look at Jiang Fugui, his eyes conveying a very clear meaning...

"They're here!"

Jiang Fugui walked forward with a bitter face, calling out as he went.

He watched Cheng Buzheng and Jiang Siling's retreating figures, muttering to himself;

"Aren't my expressions expressive enough? Can't you tell I'm very unwilling?"

"Those two are such troublemakers! One betrayed his own elder brother, and the other betrayed his own Martial Brother."

"One is an open pit, the other a hidden pit; they're just like a family. Grandpa was right; they'd be perfect dao companion."

"Give me a chance, and I'll add fuel to the fire!"

Jiang Fugui's heart was filled with malice.

But he never considered that if those two scoundrels actually became dao companion, wouldn't they be even more ruthless in their schemes against him?

Similarly, Cheng Buzheng was unaware of Jiang Fugui's ulterior motives.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have done that.

Not long after.

The three of them arrived at an exceptionally luxurious pavilion.

Jiang Siling glanced at Jiang Fugui indifferently and said matter-of-factly:

"Brother, let's reserve a table!"

A glint of cunning flashed in her eyes, gone in an instant.

Jiang Fugui, standing behind, looked pained, glancing at the pavilion in front of him with a bitter expression before turning to Cheng Buzheng with a pitiful look.

See here.

Cheng Buzheng quickly looked up at the distant sky, as if it held endless joy.

Seeing Cheng Buzheng's state, Jiang Fugui knew that his junior brother could no longer be relied upon!

Then he walked slowly toward the attic hall, turning back every few steps.

Jiang Siling and Cheng Buzheng strolled forward, following behind Jiang Fugui.

Cheng Buzheng had also heard that Jade Jade Pavilion's payment method was different from that of ordinary restaurants; they would pay with Spirit Stone first and then serve the Spirit Meal Spirit Wine!

Although they didn't treat customers like royalty at all, it was because the Spirit Meal and Spirit Wine inside were extremely valuable!

They had no choice but to turn away some less affluent cultivators.

If a destitute rogue Rogue Cultivator had a lavish meal, even killing him wouldn't yield many Spirit Stone.

It is evident that this measure is within the acceptable range for most monks.

A short while later.

Jiang Fugui walked over listlessly and said irritably:

Let's go!

"I've already paid with Spirit Stone!"

"I have never eaten such an expensive Spirit Meal before!"

As he finished speaking, his lips trembled slightly, clearly indicating immense pain. He then turned to the attendant beside him and said:

"Take us up there!"

Jiang Siling chuckled and followed.

Cheng Buzheng followed silently, like a nobody. His purpose in coming here was simply to freeload, so it wasn't the right time for him to speak.

Not long after.

Led by a servant, the three entered an elegant private room.

Immediately, Jiang Fugui waved his hand, dismissing the servants.

The three of them sat around a round table made of Spirit Jade.

Jiang Siling sat in the chair, playing with the strands of hair twirling around her fingers, and called out in a sweet voice:

"Elder brother··"

Hearing that unusually seductive voice, Jiang Fugui's heart skipped a beat. Every time he heard that tone, he felt an urge to die.

The most recent time, just yesterday, was when I used this same tone to invite him to a dinner party here.

For this, a huge sum of Spirit Stone just left him!

So much so.

Hearing this tone, Jiang Fugui felt a chill run down his spine. His face darkened, and he said in a low, subservient voice:

"Grandma, what do you want to do!"

"Don't use that tone, okay? I'm scared, alright?"

Jiang Fugui quickly begged for mercy.

Jiang Siling ignored him and continued in her sweet, coquettish voice:

"Brother, Little Sister 've heard the Spirit Wine here is quite good..."

As she spoke, she stared at Jiang Fugui with her large, watery eyes.

Although Jiang Siling didn't finish her sentence, Jiang Fugui understood her meaning perfectly.

immediately.

Jiang Fugui turned his gaze to Cheng Buzheng, his eyes seeking help.

Cheng Buzheng, who was eager to earn a living, was naturally overjoyed to hear this!

Spirit Wine paired with Spirit Meal is the perfect match, and of course he wouldn't undermine that. He then completely ignored Jiang Fugui's gaze, focusing intently on playing with the jade chopsticks in his hand, as if he were ready to make a big splash at any moment.

With no one to help him, he knew he was going to lose money again!

Faced with Jiang Siling's gentle advances, Jiang Fugui quickly succumbed.

See here.

Cheng Buzheng's lips curled up, a hint of a smile flashing across his face. He knew the Spirit Wine was secured.

A short while later.

As expected.

"Okay, okay..."

Jiang Fugui, looking utterly despondent, said:

"I'll go down right away and have them add another pot of Spirit Wine, how about that?"

After saying that, he left the private room without waiting for Jiang Siling's reply, afraid that his Little Sister might have any other requests!
