"Thank you, Brother. You are really kind to . Unlike my relatives, who never paid attention to . They keep pushing away. Now, I have to co out all alone at the academy. If I have money in the future, I'll surely repay you!" The little girl turned around and sincerely thanked Zheng-Fu. She never thought that Zheng-Fu would be so kind and helpful to her. Normally, she was always bullied by others. Even her masters were indifferent and pretended to not see her.
"You don't have to thank at all, Little Angel. Well, you should continue your description, now everyone is waiting for you. Don't disappoint them!" said Zheng-Fu, smiling warmly at the girl.
"Yes, sir!"
The girl felt very happy today. She never thought that she would et such a kind man as Zheng-Fu. Even though she was young, she could sense who was sincere and who was not. She knew that Zheng-Fu was sincere with her. She also saw the disgusting look Zheng-Fu gave her master, and because of that, she trusted him and thought of staying by accepting the consequences.
Fifteen minutes passed...
The little girl finally finished her description of the place. Everyone who listened to her was satisfied and had a lot of fun. They asked her na and rembered her as a little tour guide.
"Well done, Little Angel! All right, let's go back to the city. We'll find sothing to eat before returning to your academy!" Zheng-Fu kindly said, inviting her to a dinner in the city, which would take two hours to go there.
"Yes, sir!"
The two returned to the carriage where the elder was waiting. When the elder saw that Zheng-Fu had brought a little girl with him, his expression was surprised before a warm smile broke out upon seeing who the little girl was.
"Grandpa King!"
But it was the girl who greeted the elder first.
"Isn't this Little Chang-Yue? But why are you here with this Young Master?" the elder asked Chang-Yue with a smile.
"This Brother saved . And I led Brother on a tour here too!" The girl answered honestly and innocently. She and the elder were even closer than those of the sa blood. Usually, when they t, the elder always took her to her place of residence.
"It's good that you two know each other. But let's go back to the city; I'm hungry now. And I think Little Angel is hungry too. Then, Elder, please take us to the restaurant that you think is the most delicious you have ever eaten. The three of us can sit down, eat, and talk!" Zheng-Fu interrupted to tell the old man to take him to the restaurant first, the one he wanted to go to was the restaurant the old man had been to before and considered the best al he had ever had. He invited the old man to join him for the al as well.
"It's all right, Young Master. You eat with Little Chang-Yue, I…"
"Do you mind having a al with and Little Angel, Elder?" Zheng-Fu already knew that the elder would deny him. But Zheng-Fu had his plan and words that would make the elder unable to reject.
"No, not at all! I never mind that, sir. I just thought that a humble person like shouldn't sit and eat with Young Master," the elder imdiately made excuses that he had never minded that, he denied the invite because he did not dare eat with Zheng-Fu.
"I never looked down on others, even if that person was just a beggar. Those I would regard as inferior were only those wicked and vile people. You advised and guided along the way, so why can't I offer you a al in return? So, you should co with us," Zheng-Fu saw that the fish had eaten the bait, and he imdiately pulled it out of the water.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your rcy to this old man!" The elder was helpless to refuse and respectfully agreed. Even if Zheng-Fu said so, he still felt a bit worried that it would seem discourteous.
"Then let's go back to the city. We still have to travel another shichen!" Not to waste ti, Zheng-Fu told the elder to drive the carriage off.
"Yes, sir!"
One shichen passed...
After leaving the ancient ruin for a shichen, the carriage finally stopped in front of a restaurant on the outskirts of the city, away from comrcial and crowded areas. Shops and people in this area were mostly general shops and ordinary people.
"We've arrived at the restaurant, Young Master. You and Little Chang-Yue can get down and enter it first. I'll take the carriage and park it in the back, so it won't get in the way!" the elder told Zheng-Fu and the little girl, who were sitting there chattering happily.
Zheng-Fu nodded at the elder before taking Chang-Yue off the carriage. This restaurant was not too small and not too big. However, it looked better than the other restaurants around here. Plus, there were a lot of custors. Not only that, but the sll of the food here was also very appetizing.
"Welco, Young Master. Two people, is that right, sir?" at that mont, a thin, middle-aged man, also known as a waiter, walked over to greet Zheng-Fu and the little girl with a friendly smile.
"Three, another one is coming. Could you please arrange a table for us?" Zheng-Fu promptly replied politely to the waiter.
"Yes, Young Master. Please follow ." The waiter nodded and invited Zheng-Fu and Chang-Yue to follow him into the restaurant to the table.
Inside the restaurant...
"This is your table, sir. What would you like to order? We have…"
"Bring the best dishes of the restaurant. Including the best liquor!" Zheng-Fu did not know what to order, so he told the waiter to bring the restaurant's best food and liquor.
"All right, Young Master. Please wait a mont, sir," the waiter replied before turning around and walking away.
"Brother! I don't know your na yet. What's your na?" At that mont, Chang-Yue asked Zheng-Fu because she did not know his na yet.
"My na is Zheng-Fu. And Little Angel's na is Chang-Yue, right? Nice to et you!" Zheng-Fu introduced himself, smiling warmly at the girl.
"Yes, Brother Zheng-Fu. By the way, what town and village do you co from?" the little girl continued to ask curiously.
"My house is far from this place. Although I told you, you wouldn't know it!" It was not that Zheng-Fu wanted to hide anything from Chang-Yue, but he did not want to create a surprise that only caught the others' attention. If he said he was from the lower world, then everyone here had to turn to look at him.
"And..."
"Sorry, Young Master, I'm late!" But before Chang-Yue could ask another question, Elder King's voice rang out along with the gasping sound from running.
"Never mind, Elder. We just ordered food a mont ago." Zheng-Fu didn't bla the elder for coming late. He also added that he had just ordered food and drinks a mont ago.
At the sa mont, the food and liquor that Zheng-Fu had ordered were delivered to his table. It was a total of five dishes, including Stir-fried Herbs with Banana Leaves, Roasted Boar Leg, Straw-baked Three-legged Chicken, Herbs Stead Black Fish, and the last one was Sizzling, Spicy, Fried Mixed Dish. All of these were the signature dishes of this restaurant and were also the most expensive. As for the liquor, it was just normal liquor with a mild herbal aroma, but the taste was good, not bitter, and not pungent.
"Wow! All these foods look tasty. In the academy, I only ate mostly fruits and vegetables. It's once in a while to eat at like this!" Chang-Yue drooled when she saw the food on the table in front of her. She had never been able to eat such good food because she had to save money to pay for tuition and necessary educational materials.
"Then, what is Little Angel waiting for? Dig in! If it's not enough, you can order more, don't be embarrassed!" Zheng-Fu could not help but smile happily upon seeing this little girl's smile. Then he turned to look at the elder who was gulping down his saliva, saying, "Elder, you can eat, don't be considerate. If it's not enough, you can order more, or if there is any dish you like, you can order it!" Zheng-Fu knew that the elder was still considerate of him; otherwise, the elder would have started eating.
"Tha… thank… Thank you, Young Master, for your kindness. Then I'll go all in!" Finally, the aroma of the food ended the elder's patience. He could no longer endure this seductive fragrance. Having received the green light from Zheng-Fu, the elder did not hesitate to start eating while the little girl, Chang-Yue, was already ahead of him.
Ngm! Ngm! Ngm!
"So good!!!"
After the elder and Chang-Yue started eating food, the murmurs of contentnt continued to sound. The expressions on their faces could tell Zheng-Fu how much they enjoyed the al. And he thought that the food at this restaurant was delicious too. But it still could not compare with his mother's cooking.
Half an hour passed...
"So full! This is the first ti I've eaten such delicious food and eaten so much!" Chang-Yue said after she had finished her al.
"All thanks to Young Master for being kind to us. If Young Master hadn't treated us to delicious food today, we'd be eating the sa vegetables or fruits!" The elder, who had just finished eating, added as well.
"It's quite a tragedy, Elder. If I had to eat like that every day!" Ever since his birth, Zheng-Fu had never been so starving that he had to eat only vegetables like that. If he did not have anything to eat, he would just go out to hunt so monster beasts and cook them for food. But weak people like the elder and Chang-Yue could not do what Zheng-Fu could.
"It's not that sad, Brother!" Chang-Yue interrupted Zheng-Fu, saying that eating only vegetables was not bad.
"That's right, Young Master. Even though we eat only plants and vegetables every day, they give us quite a few substances that are beneficial to our bodies. So, it shouldn't be sad. Anyway, my stomach is now filled to the brim. It's ready to take you wherever you want!" The elder thought the sa way as Chang-Yue. And now he was ready to fully use the strength he had recovered from this al.
"Then, let's go to Heavenly Command Sect, Youth Academy Branch!"
Huh!?
