When Ye Xiao finished eating, he saw two people walking towards him. One was the previous officer and the other one was a middle-aged man.
“Halo dear customer, I am the manager of this Phoenix Restaurant. You can call me manager Ma. I hear you want to go to the second floor to enjoy the delicious food there. Is that true?” After arriving in front of Ye Xiao, manager Ma greeted him with a wide smile and asked if it was true that he wanted to go to the second floor of the Phoenix Restaurant.
Ye Xiao looked at him and nodded his head, saying, “Yes, I am very interested.”
Manager Ma smiled and said, “It is not impossible that you go to the second floor of Phoenix Restaurant but there is a ‘Specus’ fee that you have to pay first if you want to go up there when you do not have it.” required strength.”
“Oh! how many?” Ye Xiao frowned as he felt that something was wrong here. This was the first time he had seen such a rule in a restaurant. This middle-aged man was the manager of this restaurant but he had personally come to see him when he heard that Ye Xiao wanted to go to the second floor of the restaurant.
He looked at the attendant and then turned his gaze to look at manager Ma. As if he understood something, he sighed softly and muttered, “I shouldn't have given a piece of low-grade spirit stone to this officer.”
Ye Xiao had eaten a lot so he said, “Maybe next time. I have eaten until I am full. Since this is my first time in Southwood City, I will stay here for a few days. When I will come here later then, I want to go to the second floor of this restaurant. While I was eating, I heard some people talking that the second floor was very different from the first floor especially the wine there. I want to enjoy all this next time.”
What Ye Xiao said was the truth. Even though he understood the intent of this manager Ma, he still wanted to come here again. The least he had to subtract was spirit stones. So, even though he gave some spirit stones, it didn't matter.
When manager Ma heard him, he fell silent for a moment. After a while, he took out a token and gave it to Ye Xiao while saying, “When you will come here next time, show this token to one of my people here and they will take you to the second floor.”
Ye Xiao took the token from manager Ma and looked at it. It was actually just an ordinary wooden token but it was extremely difficult. All tokens are colored light yellow. The image of the Phoenix was engraved on one side of the token while on the other side of the token, there was actually the face of a man.
Ye Xiao kept this token in his spatial ring and said goodbye to manager Ma. After doing all this, he left the restaurant after paying the bills. But this time, he did not pay the bill with spirit stones but rather gold coins.
Manager Ma continued to look at Ye Xiao's disappearing figure and when Ye Xiao completely disappeared from his sight, he turned to the attendant and said, “When he will come here next time, he will turn to the officer, immediately tell me.”
“Ya manager Ma. But...” The waiter hesitated to say something.
“Say.” Seeing him hesitating, Manager Ma said coldly. His old smile was long gone.
“Manager Ma, do you think he will come here again?” Finally, the officer decided to say what he wanted to ask in advance.
“Dia will.” After saying this, manager Ma also disappeared from the officer's sight.
Previously, he observed Ye Xiao. When he talked about the cost of ‘kus’, he saw Ye Xiao frowning. Just then he looked through Ye Xiao. He knew that Ye Xiao had already understood what he was really planning but even after that he calmly talked to him and then left.
In his opinion, there were only two reasons why Ye Xiao could remain calm back then.
First was Ye Xiao had an expert protecting him from the shadows and he came from a very large family or had a strong background.
And the second reason was that Ye Xiao did not think too much about it and he was very arrogant.
He only thought that Ye Xiao belonged to one of these two categories.
Of course, he was unaware of a heaven defying treasure like The Heavenly Pearl so he had not managed to think of the third reason.
What he thought could only be applied to ordinary people. Ye Xiao did not count as one of those people. Ye Xiao had an endless supply of spirit stones and just because of this, he did not think much and said that when he would come here next time, he would not be able to, he's going to the second floor of the restaurant.
Ye Xiao was walking aimlessly on the road. After asking for a while, he learned that right now, he was actually in a second-rate country known as the Golden Fragrant Country.
Southwood City was one of the three major cities in the Golden Fragrance Country. The three major cities were Southwood City, Grindstone City and Golden Fragrance City which were also the imperial cities of the Golden Fragrance Country.
Cloudsmoke Forest is just five miles from Southwood City. That meant that the other end of Cloudsmoke Forest was actually connected to a second-rate country like The Golden Fragrance Country. Ye Xiao came here floating in the river while he was still unconscious.
He could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart. He did not know how long it would take to return to the Azure Dragon Country.
In the Golden Fragrant Country, there were three great sects but unlike the sect leaders of the five great sects of the Azure Dragon Country, the sect leader of this sect was actually a peak Martial Emperor Realm expert.
The Thunder Cloud Sect was one of these three great sects. Lu Xiaoran, who helped him earlier when he was severely injured, and the other three people who were with him were actually members of this Lightning Cloud Sect.
Ye Xiao wondered and found the location of the Thunder Cloud Sect.
These three great sects were located in the three great cities.
The Thunder Cloud Sect happened to be in Southwood City. Ye Xiao decided to visit Lu Xiaoran and thank her for her kindness.
Ye Xiao was just about to go to the Lightning Cloud Sect when he heard people talking about something interesting that aroused his interest.
“Have you heard that something strange happened in the Cloud Smoke Forest lately.”
“Yes, I also heard that there will be a birth of treasure in the Cloud Smoke Forest but the location is kept secret from us by that big family.”
“Yes, I heard that they do not want to share the location with us because they do not want to add to their competitors.”
“But how can they do this? This treasure that would be born within Cloudsmoke Forest did not belong to anyone. Isn't that normal, whoever gets it first will be the owner.”
“Heh brother, in which era you live. No one who first gets the treasure will keep it. If you are caught by anyone after obtaining the treasure, unless you submit to them and hand over the treasure, you will definitely kill yourself.”
“By the way, even if that extended family did not share a location with anyone, everyone still walked into Cloudsmoke Forest. Let's all get in there, too. If our luck is good, maybe we will find the location where the treasure will be born.”
“…..”
“…..”
Ye Xiao was very surprised because the matter about the treasures born within the Cloudsmoke Forest was really very inciting. Although he had two High-tier Spirit Swords with him, but if he could obtain another treasure, there would be no losses.
Ye Xiao, who was about to go to the Thunder Cloud Sect to thank Lu Xiaoran, forgot everything when he heard about the treasure ‘ would be born’.
Soon, he reached the city gate but just as he was about to get out of the city, he was stopped by the same guard who spoke to him when he was about to enter Southwood City for the first time.
“You're there, stop.” The guard said loudly. He did not shout but his voice was also no less than that. It could be clearly seen that the guard was eyeing Ye Xiao.
