Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 88: A Person and His Enemy to Meet
The Everlasting Feast Hall has a total of three floors with interesting and interesting antique interior decorations. The first floor is an open-style dining room with 200 dining tables. The second floor is for 108 private dining boxes with a spacious and comfortable environment. And the third floor is for the esteemed guest area. And the number of people qualified to enter this floor can be counted on one hand.
The manager of the restaurant had already been informed of Tang Xiu's arrival and greeted warmly, “You're Mr Tang, huh? I am the manager of the Eternal Feast Hall, Chu Yanqing. Little Boss has told me that the esteemed living room on the third floor has already been prepared. You and your friends can eat there now. Your needs are on us, free. ”
“Please lead the way!” Tang Xiu calmly nodded.
Jia Ruidao was somewhat very excited and followed Tang Xiu by her side. He then smiled and said, “Sister Tang, we have been sucked into the limelight just because we are with you. Did you know that countless officials wanted to eat on the third floor and be stopped by the security guards? I never thought that I could also dine in the Esteemed Living Room of the Everlasting Feast Hall today. ”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “This is just the enjoyment of ordinary life. It has no significant meaning. ”
Jia Ruidao smiled wryly, “Everyone has a different pursuit in life. To you, it is only trivial and ordinary, and people like you are extremely rare! ”
Tang Xiu thought that Jia Ruidao's words were quite reasonable. Everyone has their own pursuit. Some pursue the fame and enjoyment of worldly life. Some others pursue balance and spiritual progress. He himself also only pursued 2 points, wanted to be with his mother and make her happy, and cultivated himself.
The third floor has a total of 18 private halls, with each almost 200 square meters. Although the interior decoration was also filled with antiques, but it was lavishly and beautifully designed. Although Tang Xiu was not an expert on antiques, he could see that the objects inside were antiques.
“Ah, Along the River During Qingming Festival painting?” The moment Jia Ruidao entered the private hall, he found the wall filled with calligraphy and paintings. After observing for a while, he suddenly exclaimed.
Restaurant manager smiled, our “Bos once participated in the auction in the port area. So he bought this painting from there. I heard he spent 9 digits to win the bid. ”
Tang Xiu's complexion moved and asked, “You've seen your boss? My point is, not your Little Boss. ”
The restaurant manager nodded and said, “Of course! I've seen it when I went broke because of my gambling addiction. I even registered a company and lost my CEO position. My family is devastated, we can't even eat three meals a day in decent amounts. It can be said that life for me is falling into the abyss. Then, I met Boss. He paid my debt, taught me martial arts, and let Me manage this Eternal Feast Hall for him. Time is fast. It's been 20 years since I've been here. ”
Tang Xiu asked, “Who is your Boss' name? How old is he?”
The restaurant manager replied, “We cannot easily expose our boss's name. But for his age .. I've seen him 4 times in the last 10 years. When I first met her, she looked like she was in her 20s. And the last time I saw him in the last 10 years, he was in his 20s. And it makes me feel weird too. It was as if time had left no trace on him at all. ”
Appearance of 20 years? Wasn't that almost the same as Gu Xiaoxue?
Tang Xiu frowned. The appearance of a little girl appeared in his mind. The first time she left him, his appearance was in his 18s.
Tang Xiu suddenly said, “Please help me find a pen and paper.”
“Please wait a minute!”
The manager of the restaurant immediately notified Tang Xiu's request to another officer through his walkie-talkie. He then placed the menu in front of Tang Xiu and the others. When Tang Xiu and the others finished ordering food, he handed Tang Xiu a pen and paper. While waiting for the ordered dishes to come, Tang Xiu painted someone's face on the paper.
This was his first apprentice appearance in the Eternal World that he had painted. She painted it in her 18s appearance, age like a blooming flower. Along with Tang Xiu's image, the portrait of a girl who looked like a living human gradually appeared on its own. As if the painting was alive, and the girl was extremely beautiful, she could even conquer people and villages with her smiling appearance. The girl pictured on the paper smiled, as if the painting was alive.
“What a beautiful painting!” Jia Ruidao and her students said inside the hall, as well as the restaurant manager who was interested in the girl painted by Tang Xiu. They seemed to be in a trance seeing a village-toppler-beautiful girl. It was as if he was standing and smiling in front of them.
“Look, does he look like this?” Tang Xiu turned around and spoke to the manager of the restaurant, and asked in a deep tone.
The restaurant manager suddenly awakens from his trance-like attraction. Reluctantly he took his eyes off the painting, shook his head, then replied, “What you painted is a fairy. Although our Boss is very beautiful, but she is completely different from your painting. ”
“Not him?” Traces of loss and feelings of disappointment appeared within Tang Xiu's heart. But, a little relief also appeared. He did want to see his first apprentice who he grew up with and cared for, but he was afraid that he would also get involved with those who had betrayed him.
“Forget it, then. Thank you, you can go back to your work! ”
“Good!”
The restaurant manager complied and then left the hall.
Delicious and delicious food, as well as exquisite wines were endlessly delivered to their dining tables.2 beautiful young maids did not leave the hall as they served and filled wine glasses for Tang Xiu, the, Jia Ruidao, and the others.
“The members are quite decent!”
Decent enough? Is the wine worth enough?
Jia Ruidao who finished a cup of wine in one gulp was jolted by something and suddenly froze when she heard Tang Xiu's comment. He had lived for over 60 years, and this was the first time he had tasted such a delicious and beautiful wine. But why did Tang Xiu give that evaluation “layak”?
Tang Xiu's comment also made three of Jia Ruidao's disciples shake their heads. They also love wine. But tasting such a beautiful level of wine is also a first. So they couldn't resist the ridicule Tang Xiu's comments inside silently.
“Sister Tang, I can guarantee that this is not your ordinary wine. I dare say that we do not have such wine in the second floor private box. Although the wine served on the second floor was also a good wine, but compared to this one, it was like comparing day and night, “Jia Ruidao replied and laughed.
Tang Xiu toast and said, “Let's toast and drink again.”
It was a sharp midnight …
Tang Xiu, Jia Ruidao, and his disciples drank and ate until they were full. After that, they left the restaurant. Since they did not need to pay the bills, Jia Ruidao could save a lot of money. One should know that booking a private box on the second floor will cost at least 100,000 yuan. And that's for the cheapest boxes and services. Such an extraordinary luxurious party like the one they just had, in Jia Ruidao's secret estimation, would cost over 1 million yuan if they had to pay it themselves.
Under the dim light of the night …
Five people walked along the wooden path. Cicadas and other small insects linger around dim light trails. As they were about to arrive at the parking lot, the road was blocked by people as mocking laughter struck their ears.
“Aha. Isn't this Master Jia Ruidao? The loser during the day, actually still had the mood to party in Everlasting Hall? What an amazing way to get rid of sadness with booze, don't you think? ”
There were 12 people in front of them. The one who spoke was one of the 3 youths in front. Tang Xiu did not know him, but Jia Ruidao and his disciple knew him. He was exactly their opponent, Chen Kai. He is a famous hedonic playboy from Jingmen Island.
Jia Ruidao stepped forward and coldly spoke, “Chen Kai, such a rude attitude is unnecessary. The humiliation You have given Me, You will pay for it hundreds of times. ”
Chen Kai laughed out loud and loudly shouted, “What are you saying? Have I misunderstood your spitting? You think you still have a chance to get up tomorrow, don't you? Tomorrow, you will find out why these flowers are bleached in red! Ha ha ha..”
“You ...” Jia Ruidao is furious.
“Chen Kai, is that Jia Ruidao? A famous professional gambler? ”A young man asked.
Chen Kai looked at Jia Ruidao with a provocative attitude. But he replied to the young man with a flattered expression, “Silver Chu, he is indeed Jia Ruidao, a loser who almost sold his pants after losing to us. The 3 people behind him are his students. Ah right, the youngest, is his son, this miracle has messed up his own family. ”
The young man observed Jia Ruidao, nodded his head and said, “Chen Kai, remember to behave yourself, we might meet them later. If they give up, the matter ends here. I like a good piece of jade pendant and I don't want any trouble after having it later. ”
“Ah, fine then. Consider that I have given you that jade as a gift, Big Brother Chu, “ Chen Kai replied with a happy expression.
Jia Ruidao was stunned. His vision shifted back and forth between Chen Kai and the young man as he rampaged and roared, “Fuck you, Chen Kai! That jade pendant is a memento of my wife! I'm ready to get it back. If you dare to give it to someone else, don't blame this old man for forcing you by any means necessary! ”
Chen Kai sneered with disdain, “Go! The things I have won are mine! It's my own business to do everything I want with him. Why should I listen to your fart? If you really have the guts and the abilities, just take it! This young master would never tremble. ”
“Chen Kai!” The young man who had just spoken shouted in a low tone.
Chen Kai shrunk back and laughed flatly, “Sister Chu, this old fucker started it.”
Jia Ruidao's eyes turned red, even blue veins grew on her head. It was as if he was going to eat and swallow it. He looked at the prey at Chen Kai and said, “Things that have been lost, I will win it back tomorrow. I'll make your life look better tomorrow. ”
The young man named Chu only spoke lightly when he saw Jia Ruidao getting angry, “Things I obtained are also never lost to Me. If you want that jade pendant back, you can look for Me. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Chu Yi from Beijing. ”
Tang Xiu took a step, looked at Chu Yi and said, “You just said earlier to behave well in life if we might meet again in the future. Since the jade pendant is a memento of his wife, you should give her a chance first. If he wins tomorrow, give it back. But if he loses then we will never mention about the matter of this jade pendant again. And everything should end after the gambling house ends tomorrow. How about that? ”
Chu Yi narrowed her eyes, looked at tang Xiu and asked with a faint smile, “Who are you?”
“Tang Xiu!”
