In the evening, Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi didn't return ho; instead, they stayed overnight at Sister An's place. After chatting with the two beauties for a while, Liu Zixuan familiarized Huzi with the environnt here.
It was clear that Huzi was the type who didn't mind wherever he went, and he soon got along well with those burly n.
The next morning, around half past nine, everyone stepped out of Yuquan Bar.
Sister An stood by her car, "Keep your wits about you when we get there."
"Don't worry, I'm going there to enjoy myself today, not to fight!" Liu Zixuan said with a playful smile.
With that, everyone got into the cars. Sister An took her two burly bodyguards, while Liu Zixuan got into his Wrangler with Luo Xi and Huzi.
The two cars headed towards the Imperial Garden Restaurant.
The Imperial Garden Restaurant is akin to the Celestial Tea House, also an ancient and prestigious place in the Celestial Capital. To easily co and go from these locations, one needs not only wealth but also high status.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, Huzi showed a hint of surprise, "Wow, I've heard that just one table here costs at least a hundred thousand!"
Liu Zixuan grinned, "Today, one of the top ten prominent figures is hosting a banquet here. They surely don't lack money, but if they have dozens of tables, that would indeed be extravagant!"
"That's why not many people dare to co here," Luo Xi said with a light smile. "It only takes ten such events a year for the entire restaurant to profit!"
"You know this place?" Liu Zixuan scratched his head; Luo Xi was amnesiac and had forgotten her own ho, how could she rember this?
Luo Xi's eyes briefly flickered with panic but quickly explained, "Sister An told this morning."
"Oh?" Liu Zixuan suspiciously responded, as if he sensed sothing. But just as he pondered deeply, soone suddenly knocked on the window.
Liu Zixuan turned to see it was Qin Lanlan.
He opened the car door and got out, asking, "You got here pretty early!"
"We're actually the latest." Qin Lanlan smiled wryly. "Those other big figures arrived long ago. And they didn't co alone!"
"What do you an?" Liu Zixuan frowned.
Qin Lanlan pointed to the several shops opposite and various places in different directions of the Imperial Garden, smiling, "The owners of these places changed hands this morning. What do you think it ans?"
Liu Zixuan frowned and glanced around. With his X-ray Vision, nothing was missed; people were hiding in so concealed corners.
Liu Zixuan's lips twitched a few tis, "Are they really going to make a move today?"
"Don't know if anything will happen, but this birthday banquet won't be so simple," Qin Lanlan said with a smile. "My Uncle Qin said to be careful, and if anything does happen, be wary of these two people!"
With that, Qin Lanlan handed Liu Zixuan two photos.
The first photo showed a boy who looked around eighteen or nineteen, appearing very immature, nothing particularly noteworthy. The other photo depicted soone who looked slightly fierce.
This person wasn't particularly burly and seed sowhat thin, but had three conspicuous knife scars on his face. The longest ran across the left side, making him look extrely fierce.
"They are the true experts of the Diwu Clan, especially that young boy who, despite his age, is already at the Peak of King Realm," Qin Lanlan explained.
Liu Zixuan's pupils narrowed slightly, "Eighteen or nineteen and at the Peak of King Realm? That's damn freakish!"
Putting the photos into his pocket, he asked, "Has Uncle Qin already gone inside?"
"Naturally, in such an important occasion, Uncle Qin and the others have to go in early to support," Qin Lanlan said aningfully. "Mr. Diwu's 88th birthday is a major event for the entire Celestial Capital!"
Having said that, Qin Lanlan too went inside.
Liu Zixuan retrieved the prepared gifts from the trunk and went inside the Imperial Garden Restaurant with Luo Xi and Huzi.
At the entrance, they registered and placed the gifts; a receptionist guided Liu Zixuan and the others to a table near the corner.
Liu Zixuan took a simple glance; there were about twenty tables on this floor. Estimating eight people per table, there must be over a hundred people present today.
It truly is a big shot's birthday banquet; for an average family, having ten people at a birthday is already a lot!
After sitting down, Luo Xi asked, "Didn't you heal Diwu Qingrou yesterday? You're their savior, so why are you placed in such an out-of-the-way spot?"
"I'd rather be here, so I don't get splashed with blood if a fight breaks out later," Liu Zixuan shrugged. "It doesn't matter where we are; we should just enjoy the food and drink!"
"Alright." Luo Xi pouted, looking at Sister An who sat at the front row, muttering, "I really envy Sister An's high status."
"Lil' Luo Xi, have you rembered sothing?"
The younger, more rebellious Luo Xi would envy the positions of bigwigs, thinking it was so impressive. After losing her mory, she beca much more well-behaved. The words she just said didn't sound like sothing she'd say after losing her mory.
Combined with what she said in the car just now, Liu Zixuan increasingly felt that Luo Xi seed to have regained her mory.
When Liu Zixuan asked, Luo Xi quickly shook her head, "No."
"Really, nothing?"
Luo Xi nodded vigorously, "If I rembered anything, I'd definitely tell you."
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes. The current situation was complex, so it wasn't the ti to question further. However, thinking carefully, there's really no need for Luo Xi to hide anything from him.
Gradually, all the twenty or so tables filled up, mostly with well-known figures from the Celestial Capital.
The first few front tables were occupied by the Diwu Clan and other big figures.
You could tell so subtle relationships between the bigwigs.
Qin Siye and Xiao Liuye were sitting in two separate groups, and obviously Xiao Liuye's side had more people, while Qin Siye's side seed fewer. From this, it could be seen that among the top ten figures, Xiao Liuye probably held a higher position currently.
Liu Zixuan only knew about Qin Siye, Xiao Liuye, and the locked-up Er Zhong. The others he t for the first ti, and didn't know who was who.
Yet, he counted carefully, and aside from the tenth person who hadn't appeared and Er Zhong, the rest were all present.
This also showed that these bigwigs, despite their differing inner feelings, still maintained the necessary mutual respect.
At this mont, Diwu Yuntian walked to the front with a microphone, smiling, "Thank you all for taking ti out of your busy schedules to attend my father's birthday banquet. Today is my father's 88th birthday, and in our Star Sea, the number 88 holds much wonderful significance..."
