"You still want to argue? Look at Chairwoman Tang, she is already a Chairwoman at her age. But you? What do you even have?" The man scolded her daughter.
"Humph! She just inherited her business from her family. What is so special about that?" The woman scoffed disdainfully.
"Inherited from the family? No! She built that empire herself when she was in high school." The man stated.
"What?" The woman was shocked.
The waiter respectfully led them through the restaurant corridor and eventually stopped in front of a large wooden door. He pushed it open carefully.
"This is your private room. Please co in." The waiter said politely.
The room was spacious and elegantly decorated. A large round table stood in the centre, surrounded by comfortable chairs. A wide window overlooked the night view outside, and the warm lighting made the entire atmosphere feel calm, peaceful, and welcoming.
Yu Qi walked in first, while Long Hui followed closely beside her.
Lu Chong and the others hesitated slightly before stepping inside. They had never been in such a luxurious private room before. Everything inside looked expensive, from the tableware placed neatly on the table to the decorative ornants hanging on the walls.
The waiter quickly pulled out the chairs for them.
"Please have a seat. I will bring the nu." The waiter said before leaving the room.
For a mont, the room fell into silence. Lu Chong and the others were still processing what had just happened outside.
Lu Chong still looked slightly nervous.
"Lady Tang... We... We did not cause trouble for you, right?" Lu Chong asked carefully.
"No. You don’t cause any trouble. You don’t have to worry about that." Yu Qi said while smiling. Then she added casually. "The trouble ca to us by itself."
Long Hui chuckled softly beside her.
Lu Chong and the others were stunned. It was their first ti they saw a different expression on Long Hui. They thought Long Hui did not have any emotions at all.
The waiter soon ca back with the nu book.
"Everyone, you can choose what you want to eat from this." Yu Qi said.
"Is it okay for us to choose ourselves?" Lu Chong asked.
"Of course, you are the one who will eat the dish. Naturally, you should choose them yourselves," Yu Qi replied with a nod.
Lu Chong and the others began browsing through the nu book. After so ti, they began to list the food that they wanted to eat. The waiter quickly recorded their orders using his tablet. After taking the orders, the waiter imdiately left the room and brought the list to the kitchen so the dishes could be prepared.
"Lady Tang, may I ask sothing?" Lu Chong asked again.
"Yes. What is it?" Yu Qi responded.
"We are not familiar with many terms used in the outside world. So we do not know the aning of the word ’Chairwoman’." Lu Chong said.
"Oh... Chairwoman is a term used for soone who owns or leads a business." Yu Qi explained.
"Oh, so you are a business owner." Lu Chong nodded in understanding.
"Then, how about Colonel?" Lu Qiao chid in curiously.
"Colonel is a rank given by the military to a soldier. It is considered a high-ranking position." Yu Qi explained patiently.
"So, Sir Tang is a soldier." Lu Qiao said while looking at Long Hui with admiration.
The others also looked at Long Hui with similar expressions of respect and admiration.
"By the way, Lady Tang, Sir Long, how are you both able to adapt so well to this place?" Lu Chong asked.
"Oh... We were born here." Yu Qi stated simply.
"What?" Lu Chong was shocked.
The others felt the sa surprise as well.
"But how..." Lu Chong did not finish the question.
Yu Qi already knew what Lu Chong wanted to ask. How could she and Long Hui end up becoming cultivators if they were born in the outside world?
"Probably because of my grandmother." Yu Qi said thoughtfully.
"Your grandmother?" Lu Chong asked.
"Yes. My grandmother ca from the Dian Family. She ran away from the cultivation world and got married to my grandfather here. My cultivation power probably ca from that bloodline. Well, I don’t know about that in the beginning. I only know about that after eting with the Dian Family." Yu Qi explained.
"The Dian Family... one of the four great families?" Lu Chong said. "I have heard about them before. They moved their family base to the outside world. However, they still maintained their influence and power within the cultivation world."
"But... But... How can you be so strong? Your bloodline has been tainted by another human being." One of them suddenly said.
"Lu Manghe!" Lu Chong shouted at that person.
The person nad Lu Manghe finally realised what he had just said.
"I am sorry." Lu Manghe quickly apologised.
"It’s fine." Yu Qi said calmly.
Yu Qi knew what Lu Manghe ant by that statent. In the cultivation world, many people believed that a cultivator should only marry another cultivator. If they married a normal human being, their descendant would be just a normal human being as well.
"So, you are a descendant of the Dian Family." Lu Chong said thoughtfully. "No wonder."
At that mont, the waiters ca in and began placing many dishes on the table. Every dish looked extrely delicious. Everyone seed to forget about the previous topic and shifted their focus to the food. After all, it was their first ti eating such a delicious al in the outside world.
They also ordered so wine. Lu Chong offered to pour the wine into Yu Qi and Long Hui’s glasses. However, Long Hui imdiately blocked Yu Qi’s glass.
