Ying Gu waved her hand at Ying Qingning, then smiled and said, "Doctor Liu, we're all sensible people here. I don't like to beat around the bush. If my words sound harsh, I ask for your understanding!"
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Nothing to forgive. You're right. Ying Qingning, as the young lady of the Willow Association, is indeed not soone a small figure like myself can covet. However, I have sothing to say to you as well!"
"I'm all ears!" Ying Gu said with a half-smile.
Liu Zixuan fixed his gaze on Ying Gu, his voice a bit cold as he spoke each word, "Ying Qingning is rely my patient, and I have no further interest in her. The one who said we are friends is her, not ! The Willow Association is formidable, but so what? If it's unrelated to , we go our separate ways. If it's related, even if it's the Emperor himself, do you think I'd be scared?"
Previously, Old Wang had said that one must steer clear of the Willow Association; it was too dangerous to provoke.
But in Liu Zixuan's view, nothing in this world is beyond provocation.
If it has nothing to do with him, he wouldn't even bother. But if soone willingly provokes Liu Zixuan, it's all the sa, just go for it!
After finishing his words, Liu Zixuan stood up directly and walked outside.
"Doctor Liu!" Ying Qingning quickly stood up and grabbed Liu Zixuan's arm. "I'm truly sorry. I don't know how things got to this point!"
Liu Zixuan coldly smiled and said, "Miss Ying, n and won should keep their distance. Soone as noble as you, I, Liu Zixuan, cannot afford to associate with, let alone afford to dine with!"
"What's going on?"
At this mont, Wu i suddenly ca over with a bottle of wine, seemingly to propose a toast. Sensing the odd atmosphere, she inquired.
Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "Wu i, it's nothing. You go ahead. I'll visit another day!"
"Wait a minute!" After all, Wu i was a queen-like figure in Ghostwood City, and she clearly heard that Liu Zixuan was a bit angry now.
She looked at Ying Qingning and asked, "Miss, could you tell what happened?"
"Is it your business?" Ying Gu suddenly stood up and ca over, "As a restaurant owner, just manage your restaurant well. What business do you have knowing about the guests' affairs?"
Wu i frowned for a mont, then revealed a peculiar smile, "Looks like you're the one who made Liu Zixuan angry?"
"So what!" Ying Gu said arrogantly.
"Alright, you just said a mont ago, as a restaurant owner, just manage your restaurant and not pry into guests' privacy. So as the boss here, I now ask you to get out of my restaurant!" Wu i was not an ordinary woman, and in such circumstances, if she didn't show her wrath, she wouldn't be the business queen of Ghostwood City!
"Do you know the consequences of speaking to like that? Do you know who I am? Do you know who she is?" Ying Gu pointed at Ying Qingning and said.
Wu i mocked with a smile, "Don't talk to about backgrounds. Here in Ghostwood City, I, Wu i, am the background. If you want to threaten , maybe try another place, but here, you! Are! Not! Worthy!"
Such relief, Wu i's stance was too domineering!
Originally, Liu Zixuan thought Ying Qingning was quite nice, at least sensible. If they didn't keep in touch afterward, it would be fine. But now that things have escalated this far, it's not appropriate to leave first.
Ying Gu was stunned by Wu i's words, not expecting soone to dare speak to him that way. Then he coldly said, "Wu i, is it?"
"Yes, it's !"
"Good, today I, the Willow Association, will rember this, and make you regret it soday!" Ying Gu said, taking Ying Qingning with him as they walked out.
Ying Qingning wanted to apologize to Liu Zixuan, but there was no opportunity.
Watching them leave, Liu Zixuan said with a smile, "Wu i, I'm sorry for drawing you into this again!"
"What are you talking about? You're a valued guest here. If you're upset here, as the boss, I have to help you vent!" Wu i smiled indifferently.
"But that's soone from the Qian Nanliu Association."
"The Willow Association?" Wu i muttered softly, "Don't worry. As long as it's within Ghostwood City, even if they want revenge, they'll have to think twice."
Liu Zixuan chuckled, "I hope Ying Gu doesn't represent the entire Willow Association."
Liu Zixuan wasn't fond of trouble, but he wasn't afraid either. Just as before, he had his pride, and when faced with soone like Ying Gu who looked down on people with a dog-like attitude, he countered back without any fear.
But since things are as they are, saying more is useless; one must handle whatever cos.
Wu i shook the bottle of wine in her hand and smiled, "Don't think about those things anymore. A friend just brought this good wine from abroad, ho-brewed. Shall we have a couple of drinks?"
"Then I'll enjoy a good treat today!" Liu Zixuan grinned and said.
With that, the two of them moved to another private room, and Wu i had so appetizers sent up, and they began to drink.
After a few drinks, their conversation flowed more freely.
Looking at the slightly tipsy Wu i in front of him, Liu Zixuan suddenly asked, "Wu i, your family has been in Ghostwood City for many years. Have you ever heard of any ancient tombs around here?"
"Ancient tomb?" Wu i suddenly chuckled, "Why, are you interested in ancient tombs?"
"Not really, but soone once gave a hint to co to Ghostwood City and find an ancient tomb that has sothing I need inside it," Liu Zixuan said.
He had been in Ghostwood City for a while, and both his clinic and company were running smoothly. It was ti for Liu Zixuan to look into the Seven-Star Tomb around here.
Wu i squinted and thought for a mont, "I don't know exactly, but I do know soone who might know if there are any ancient tombs around Ghostwood City."
"Who?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Have you heard of Zhou Lunatic?"
Liu Zixuan shook his head in confusion at the ntion.
"Zhou Lunatic's ancestors dealt with ancient tombs for generations, but they faced suppression from authorities, so they retired. He, using the treasures left by his family and previous connections, opened an auction house. It's rumored he knows well about where there are treasures or ancient tombs in the surrounding cities. If you can talk with him, you might gain sothing!"
At this point, Wu i paused, "But he's quite overbearing and unreasonable, focused on money not people, and whether he helps or not depends on his mood, so people call him a lunatic. He's not easy to deal with!"
"Can Wu i introduce ?" Liu Zixuan asked. No matter how difficult Zhou Lunatic might be, he had to try, as the Seven-Star Tomb was connected to his master.
Wu i shook her head, "There's so bad blood between our families, and relations have been tense over the years, so I really can't help in this matter. But I can give you the address of his auction house, and you can try yourself!"
