Back in the kitchen behind the inn, the waiter dropped onto a stool, utterly dazed, and could not speak for a long while.
His companion found this strange and asked, "What happened?"
The waiter rubbed his face and came to his senses a little. "Do you know? I just saw the most beautiful face I've ever seen in my life."
His companion froze for a moment, then scoffed. "How beautiful could it be? Could there possibly be a woman prettier than Miss Lüqi?"
Miss Lüqi was the most sought-after prostitute in Shangzhou City, and the person these poor young men talked about most often. Of course, they could never have had the chance to see what she actually looked like, but to them, Miss Lüqi was surely the most beautiful woman in the world. Even calling her an immortal would not have been going too far.
With that, his companion carried the dishes away.
The waiter was still somewhat muddleheaded. He thought Miss Lüqi surely could not be as beautiful as that person, but that person was a man.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him. His eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands before his chest, praying silently.
"Immortal master above, please, take me away."
Heaven-Character Room A.
"How did he discover who we were?"
Zhao Layue looked at Jing Jiu and asked very seriously.
She truly could not understand it. That waiter was clearly a mortal.
Jing Jiu hesitated for a moment, then raised his right hand and gestured at his face.
Zhao Layue understood. Shaking her head, she said, "You'd better keep that face covered from now on."
You can't blame me for that, Jing Jiu thought.
Something occurred to Zhao Layue. "Who was that Miss Lüqi he mentioned?"
Jing Jiu thought for a moment.
