The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 164
"Don't worry!" Ling Han laughed and asked, "When do you intend to treat Miss Jiang's family members?"
"When is the earliest time you can get a reservation, Brother Ling?" Jin Wuji asked back. He naturally wanted it done as soon as possible.
Ling Han spread out his hands, and replied, "Any day is fine for me. If you hurry, I can get it even tonight."
Even tonight?
Jin Wuji's heartbeat slowed down a little more. What kind of concept is that?
The members of the Eight Great Clans as well as the Imperial Family would naturally have the ability to order a side courtyard in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, but, even they would not be able to go there with just a hat. Even these very important people have to make reservations in advance. Only a very rare few had the privilege of making use of the side pages of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion without making a reservation in advance. The Cherishing Flower Pavilion has the practice of assigning some side pages that are specific to such emergencies and can be used without any objection at all.
For example, the Third Imperial Prince was the one who had this special privilege.
But, who is the Third Imperial Prince? He was a martial arts genius himself, with the cultivation level of the seventh layer Gushing Spring Tier, also one of the heirs to the throne! In the future, he would definitely become a very strong person!
But what about Ling Han? Could it be that he also had this kind of privilege?
Jin Wuji was really astonished. He knew that Ling Han was a monster that attacked like a dark horse to take first place in the Da Yuan Tournament, and even managed to gain the full support of the three Black Class low-level alchemists.
But, it was only in Da Yuan City. This is the Imperial City! Ling Han had just been here for a few days, and he was already so high up on the social ladder?
Comparing yourself to others will drive you crazy.
Jin Wuji could not help but sigh internally. He had been in the Imperial City for over three years, but aside from the significant increase in his cultivation level, there was not even the slightest increase in his personal status. If he were to compare himself to Ling Han, he would really die of embarrassment.
He did not suspect that Ling Han was merely bluffing. Ling Han could sometimes be a comedian, but he would never make any unrealistic pride about things like this.
"Tonight, then!" Jin Wuji said, barely able to hide the excitement on his face.
For a small clan like the Jiang Clan, they would not even be able to step through the main door of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, let alone eat in one of the side courtyards inside. After tonight, what was the need for him to remain afraid that the Jiang Clan would continue to look down on him and object to his marriage and Jiang Fei Yan?
"All right!" Ling Han nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Ling! Thank you, Brother Ling!" Jin Wuji bowed repeatedly, clearly very excited. He secretly decided that whatever help Ling Han needed from him in the future, he would do whatever he could to help him.
He turned around and left — it was natural to tell the Jiang Clan about dinner tonight. This was something he should be proud of very proudly.
Meanwhile, Ling Han remained in his courtyard, immersing himself in comprehending sword arts. He had reached a bottleneck and had been stuck on just six flashes of Sword Qi for a very long time. However, he had still somehow not managed to break through and form the seventh flash of Sword Qi.
In fact, even if it was an extremely capable swordsman, it was already very impressive to be able to form a single flash of Sword Qi within ten years. Moreover, the more Sword Qi flashes managed to form, the more they would slow down in their face. By the time a swordsman was around a hundred years old, if he managed to form ten flashes of Sword Qi, he would be praised as a martial arts genius.
However, Ling Han was not satisfied. His starting point was far above all the others, so naturally he could not compare himself to the normal rate of progress.
Previously, he had spent a lot of time discussing sword arts with Mo Gao. Mo Gao was a mad genius who had actually managed to touch a piece of the Heart Sword mystery and had given Ling Han a lot of inspiration. On the spot, Ling Han managed to form a sixth flash of Sword Qi. However, this also exhausted all the accumulated understanding he had built up, so it would be difficult for him to take a step forward in a short period of time.
Ling Han sat in a cross-legged position, brandishing his right index finger as if it was the sword he was using. He continued to wave his finger at the various sword movements, examining the sword arts he had managed to comprehend so far in his mind.
Before he knew it, it was already noon. He stopped and got up to prepare food for Hu Niu — food for himself and the Liu sisters just cooked it in passing; it would be quite an achievement if they even managed to spend a hundredth of the food he had prepared.
In the evening, he took Hu Niu with him to the Cherishing Flower Pavilion. He simply executes the Commands of Appreciating Flowers, and automatically, there was a female attendant who took her to an elegant side yard and asked her about the dishes and wine that would be served for dinner tonight.
The appetizer is served first. When Hu Niu saw them, he couldn't bear to not feel his eating rising and failed to hold back from stealing a few bites, it caused the eight female servants serving them to cover their mouths as they smiled silently.
Ling Han would naturally not reprimand him either. After all, he was not short of money right now. If he finished the plate, then he would just serve another plate.
After about half an hour, a group of eight walked in, led by a female officer. Aside from Jin Wuji, the other seven people from this party were naturally members of the Jiang Clan. They included Jiang Fei Yan and his parents, as well as his two aunts and their two sons.
"So this is the side page of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion. Really too beautiful. In the past, we only managed to break into the ordinary rooms of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion."
"It looks like Fei Yan really found the right person this time. He could even make a reservation for the side courtyard of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion!"
"Yes, yeah. I heard that only the members of the Eight Great Clans and the Imperial Family have the ability to order side pages here. Then doesn't that mean that we are on the same level as the Eight Great Clans and the Family Empire now? "
The older members of the Jiang Clan all seemed extremely excited. As a small clan, they did not need to worry too much. The only thing lacking from them was progress in their social status and recognition of their status. Just having dinner here tonight was enough for them to boast for the rest of their lives.
"Do you have any souvenirs here that I can stick to my clothes?" Eldest Aunt immediately asked one of the maids. If there was, then he would definitely stick it to his clothes every day and would show it to everyone he met.
The female officer stared blankly. Those who could come here to spend money naturally had a very high status, so he had never been asked such a question by anyone else before. He could not help but be stunned for a moment, before replying, "We are not!"
"How could you not have?" The youngest aunt also bowed, "Why don't you ask someone to prepare one for us?"
"That's right! Aye! Prepare one!" Eldest Aunt said hurriedly.
When they heard the words of these two senior relatives, Jin Wuji and Jiang Fei Yan both flushed to the roots of their hair, feeling an unbearable embarrassment. Meanwhile, Jiang Fei Yan's two cousins continued to stare at the face and female attendant with deep focus.
"Sister Jin!" Ling Han stood up and waved at Jin Wuji.
"Brother Ling!" Jin Wuji returned the gesture, filled with gratitude.
"Haha, thank you very much, Brother Jin. Thank you, I can also enjoy the dishes in this Cherishing Flower Pavilion once," Ling Han said, smiling.
Jin Wuji knew that Ling Han was trying to put him in a high position. He could not help feeling deeply moved by the action, and simply nodded repeatedly.
Ling Han smiled. Although there was a slight conflict between him and Jin Wuji and Jin Wuxiang, Jin Wuji had already apologized a long time ago, so everything was forgotten. And after that, Jin Wuji accidentally lost his match in the Da Yuan Tournament, and even brought his own people to help save Ling Dong Xing. Whether Ling Han needed it or not, all of this was a debt Ling Han had to pay.
Debt naturally had to be repaid, so Ling Han was very willing to act as a small role to give Jin Wuji a better glow.
"You should definitely thank our Wuji!" Eldest Aunt wore an extremely hateful expression, looking extremely insulting. "I heard that you are a friend of Wuji from Da Yuan City. You are indeed a hick who does not know the rules of a good society. It's good enough to invite you over for dinner, and you're actually bringing a little Girl with you. "
Jin Wuji's expression changed immediately, and he was about to speak. However when he saw Ling Han shake his head, he could only swallow the impulse.
Ling Han did not accept the words of Eldest Aunt at all. They go in one ear and out the other. What was the need for him to treat such a vulgar person seriously? After all, they would only meet this once. In the future, he would not see these people anymore.
Fortunately, the members of the Jiang Clan were all mesmerized by the new scenery they saw as this was their first time entering the courtyard beside the Cherishing Flower Pavilion. When the dishes were served one after another, as smooth as the flow of water, they could not bother displaying contempt for Ling Han anymore and began to enjoy the food.
"Yes!" One of the female attendants suddenly exclaimed in shock, pointed to Jiang Fei Yan's eldest cousin, and said, "She, she touched my butt!"
