The Imperial City was the capital of the Unpolished Jade Empire. It had a history that spanned tens of thousands of years. Today, after countless generations of imperial family's construction, the Imperial City had developed into the largest city in the Unpolished Jade Empire.
Lan Yu and Lin Qianyin were walking down one of the most bustling streets in the Imperial City. The streets were bustling with activity, and it was a bustling scene.
Lanyu was dressed in simple clothing, but it couldn't hide her extraordinary temperament. This caused many of the surrounding girls to turn around and smile at her.
Lin Qianyin turned her head to glance at Lan Yu. Her long, shapely eyebrows creased, and all the gazes in the surroundings caused her to feel a strange emotion.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled and said, "Lanyu, what do you think of the imperial city? This is the most prosperous city in the Unpolished Jade Empire. "
Lanyu looked at the beautiful ancient buildings in the distance, her lips curved up in a nostalgic smile.
How should he put it? Although the Imperial City was not small, compared to the Holy City where Vastheaven Pavilion was located, it was like a parrot compared to a phoenix. As Lan Yu thought this, he didn't want to offend Lin Qianyin.
Lin Qianyin smiled, pointed to the east and said, "Our Lin Family is in that direction. If there is a chance, I will bring you to our house as a guest."
As she spoke, Lin Qianyin's heart was filled with grief. Perhaps Lanyu would never have the chance to visit the Lin Family in this lifetime. She suppressed this emotion and guided Lanyu towards Moon Sea Restaurant.
When they arrived at the first floor of the Moon Sea Restaurant, it was already filled with people.
Lin Qianyin felt a little strange. She walked over to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, are there any more rooms? I would like one."
The shopkeeper was an old man, and perhaps his eyes were not very good due to his age. After looking for a while, he exclaimed, "Isn't this the young miss of the Lin Clan? Is this your friend? Welcome to Moon Sea Restaurant. "
"I'm sorry, the rooms here have already been reserved. I'll get the waiter to arrange seats for you on the first floor." The shopkeeper said again and called the waiter over.
Lin Qianyin frowned and unhappily said, "I was going to bring you here to eat some famous food. Since there's nowhere else, let's go somewhere else."
The shopkeeper's expression changed. The Lin Family's eldest daughter was a rich person and he wasn't willing to let her go!
"No problem, let's eat on the first floor." After walking for so long, Lanyu's stomach was already protesting.
The storekeeper was overjoyed. He personally led Lan Yu and Lin Qianyin to a table in the corner of the first floor. After sitting down, Lin Qianyin ordered some seafood dishes for several months, and then the storekeeper left.
"Isn't this the young mistress of the Lin Clan?"
"The person beside her, could it be her new lover?"
Many people in the surrounding area recognized Lin Qianyin's identity and began to quietly discuss her. For a time, Lin Qianyin had become the focus of everyone's attention in the restaurant.
Lin Qianyin frowned as she heard this. When she saw Lanyu's bashful face, she explained, "Lanyu, don't listen to their nonsense. I simply don't have any old love."
To Lin Qianyin's deliberate explanation, Lanyu only lightly nodded her head. She looked around and found that many people were shooting unfriendly looks at her. It could be seen that Lin Qianyin also had many suitors within the Imperial City.
"Mm. I heard that there's a huge power within the dynasty called the Azure Emperor Pavilion?" Disregarding those gazes, Lanyu suddenly thought of Huangfu Xueruo's words, and became interested in the Azure Emperor Pavilion. Thus, she asked.
"Oh? A country bumpkin knows about the Azure Emperor Pavilion?" With your talent, the Azure Emperor Pavilion will not accept you! " Without waiting for Lin Qianyin's reply, a sarcastic male voice rang out.
Lin Qianyin turned her head to look, her gaze locked onto a person not far away who was dressed in the clothes of a servant. Lin Qianyin recognized that person. He was one of the subordinates of Qi Kai, the second son of the Qi Family's Second Elder, and his name was Liu San.
This Liu San was humble in front of his master, but he still had to be polite to him in front of others. For no other reason than that he was a member of the Qi Family and no other family was willing to provoke the Qi Family. Otherwise, with the means of the Blood Dragon Pavilion, this family would never have peace in the future.
Lin Qianyin quickly turned her head. Her eyebrows tightly knitted together as her expression changed. She urgently said, "Lanyu, that person is a member of the Qi Family. Don't provoke him. Let's switch to another restaurant."
At this moment, the waiter had already brought the dishes over. He placed them neatly on the table and politely told the customer to take care.
Lanyu looked down and saw that those few dishes, whether fragrant or delicious, were all very good. They were rare delicacies, and he thought to himself that it was a pity. Then his eyes turned to Liu San.
"Let's go." Lanyu stood up. In order to take care of Lin Qianyin's feelings, he wouldn't lower himself to a dog today.
Just as he was about to leave, Liu San swaggered over. He looked at Lanyu with disdain and said, "Boy, you want to leave so easily? Do you know who the person opposite you is? "
Lanyu crossed her arms in front of her chest, coldly looking at Liu San. She indifferently said, "Who is she? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with a dog like you right?"
Liu San was enraged. He rushed up and punched at Lanyu, "Boy, you have to understand that this is the Imperial City. It's not your turn to act so wildly!"
The people in the restaurant shouted and jeered. They were eager for Lanyu and Liu San to start fighting. Imperial City was heavily guarded and prohibited from fighting. Scenes like today's one was not common.
"Lanyu, don't!" Lin Qianyin stopped her. Just as she shouted out, Lanyu already moved.
Pow! Bang!
The chopsticks inside the chopsticks suddenly lost two pieces, and no one could tell what was going on. The big flat plate that was holding the fish firmly clipped onto Liu San's face, spilling soup all over his body. When the plate fell, they saw Liu San's face covered in fish bones, with oil flowing all over like a hedgehog.
And on Lanyu's right hand, there was an extra clean chopstick. There was also a chopstick stuck to the bottom of the plate, falling to the floor.
"Brat, you're courting death!" Liu San couldn't open his eyes. He punched out in a flurry of attacks, but he didn't even touch a single hair on Lanyu's head.
"Lanyu, let's leave quickly!" Lin Qianyin's expression became somewhat panicked as she looked at Lanyu.
At this time, a youth in green walked in. He looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. In his hand was a folding fan. His hair was tied up and his eyes were covered with skin. He looked very relaxed.
The moment the youth came out, the surrounding people started to exclaim.
"Qi Kai is here!" "Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Liu San, why aren't you coming over to greet your master?"
"Young master!" This brat is acting recklessly, he dares to hit me. " Hearing that, Liu San narrowed his eyes and ran to Qi Kai's side. He lowered his head and muttered a few words. The arrogant attitude from before had completely disappeared.
There was no change in Qi Kai's expression as he glanced at Liu San. It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry. He then raised his hand and smacked Liu San's face with the back of his fan.
Liu San grimaced in pain, but didn't dare to make a sound.
Lin Qianyin had her back facing Qi Kai, her expression extremely ugly. She was worried that the people who came would still come, and she really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"What is it? Qiao Yin, didn't you say hello when I came? I'm still waiting for your wedding wine. " Qi Kai walked towards the table and smiled at Lin Qianyin with an evil smile.
As he finished speaking, Qi Kai cupped his fists towards Lan Yu, as if apologizing, "This brother here, I'm really sorry. I'm not very strict with my subordinates, and I've charged you, if you're interested, then please come to my Qi Mansion in a month's time and drink my big brother's and Qiao Yin's wedding wine."
Lan Yu looked at Lin Qianyin and lowered her head, not daring to look into her eyes. Her two hands tightly gripped onto her clothes, and her knuckles turned white, when she suddenly realized that Lin Qianyin had originally only left the Flowing Moon Sect because she was going to be married off to someone else.
"Everyone! "If you're interested, you can also come to the Qi Residence to drink some wedding wine. At that time, the Qi Residence will definitely entertain you!" Qi Kai looked around with a sincere expression.
After everyone exchanged their pleasantries, other than those who knew about it, the rest all turned to look at Lin Qianyin with disdain. Since Lin Qianyin was already engaged, why would she meet with others in the restaurant? They did not believe that the handsome young man with Lin Qianyin had a pure relationship with her.
Qi Kai seemed to have achieved his goal. He smiled, turned to Lanyu, and said, "Fellow brothers, let me pay for your wine today. Everyone, continue."
Lanyu playfully watched as Qi Kai left. When Qi Kai was about to leave, Lanyu indifferently asked, "You are a member of the Qi Family?"
Qi Kai stopped, and without turning his head, he said, "What is it? Are you interested in me? I only like women. "
Liu San followed behind Qi Kai and shot a sinister gaze at Lanyu as they left.
Lanyu slowly sat down and poured herself a glass of wine to drink. She said a bit spicy, "A member of the Qi Family."
No one understood the meaning of his words, including Lin Qianyin.
"Let's disperse."
Many of the guests had already finished their meal. They looked at Lanyu with sympathy in their eyes, and then left.
The rest of the people didn't say anything. But, all of them had a gloating smile on their faces.
"Lanyu, Qi Kai might very well come looking for trouble with you in the future. You should return to the Flowing Moon Sect first." Lin Qianyin sighed. She didn't think that a good meal would turn out like this. She apologized.
"Since I've come, I'll naturally take a good stroll around the Imperial City. You don't have to blame yourself for what happened today, you don't have to blame yourself." Lanyu was silent for a moment before speaking.
In such a large city like the Imperial City, there were many shops here and there. And right now, Lanyu had a lot of gold coins with him. He planned to walk around the streets to buy some things that he could use after he finished eating.
Lin Qianyin was no longer in the mood to eat because Qi Kai and Liu San had made a ruckus. She wore a worried expression on her face, and several times she wanted to explain something to Lanyu, but in the end she didn't.
The two hastily ate a meal and went to a few herb shops on the street. Lanyu bought some elixirs that could be used to make Origin Strengthening Pills and found an inn to stay in.
