Pei Lie led the way. Yang Muyun followed behind them. After the two left the tea shop's small courtyard, they once again blended into the crowd of Shattered Leaf City.
It was already dawn, and most of the people had already woken up. There were more and more people in Shattered Leaf City, and the streets were bustling with noise and activity.
The bustling street scenery also covered up Yang Muyun and Pei Lie's figures. After all, they were wearing white robes and purple robes, which was quite eye-catching in this Shattered Leaf City.
Pei Lie brought Yang Muyun around the entire Shattered Leaf City. As a hero of the underworld, he was always on his guard, even if there was no one behind him.
After Pei Lie confirmed that there was no tail following them, he brought Yang Muyun to turn left and right into a remote alley.
"Brother Pei, where are we going?" Yang Muyun was not familiar with Shattered Leaf City, he had only followed Pei Lie around the entire way and felt like he was about to faint.
"Right now, we're going to the Red Flower Society's largest stronghold in Shattered Leaf City. Senior Jiang Xi is waiting for you there." Pei Lie replied Yang Muyun as he walked.
"Senior Jiang Xi knew that I was coming all along?" Yang Muyun asked as he followed Pei Lie through a narrow alley.
"Haha." Pei Lie laughed and said, "That's right. I've been waiting for you for many days already. I wonder what you've been doing ever since you entered the Shattered Leaf City. Why haven't you come?"
"You really made Senior Jiang Xi wait so much." Although Pei Lie didn't know what the relationship between Yang Muyun and Jiang Xi was nor what kind of matters they had, he had received the news the moment Yang Muyun had entered Shattered Leaf City. Thus, he had been curious as to why Yang Muyun hadn't come to find Jiang Xi.
He remembered that he had already told Yang Muyun about the method to contact the Red Flower Society. Jiang Xi had definitely told him where to look, but she really didn't see any movement from Yang Muyun.
Now that Yang Muyun had finally found him, Pei Lie heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the higher-ups had sent him to assist Jiang Xi, so he had to take this seriously.
"Then I'm truly sorry, Senior Jiang. I have something important on my mind for the past few days." Yang Muyun felt a little ashamed, because this was his request, but he had delayed it for so long and made them wait for him for nothing.
With that, Yang Muyun's eyes lit up as he subconsciously squinted his eyes.
Originally, the alleyway they passed through was extremely dark, but since martial artists usually had the ability to see in the night, there weren't many obstacles, so Yang Muyun didn't pay much attention to it.
After walking out of the alley and seeing the sunlight, Yang Muyun felt a bit uncomfortable. He slowed down and quickly returned to normal.
However, when Yang Muyun opened his eyes, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks because what appeared in front of him was a restaurant.
The red doors of the restaurant were decorated with red lacquer, black floral windows, and a variety of carved characters' stories and food appearances. One could tell at a glance that this restaurant was extraordinary.
In front of the door were two stone turtles. They didn't look as ferocious as the legends said, but they were humble and gentle. They looked very different.
The exquisite decorations weren't the most important part of this restaurant. The most important part was that there was a signboard on the entrance that read "Food for the Heavens" and a small signature on the lower corner — — Murong Xiao.
Who was Mu Rong Xiao? The younger brother of His Majesty, the King of Yu, personally conferred the title of Patriarch Gao. His status was so high that he was above tens of thousands of people.
Currently, the Great Yu Dynasty had only inherited two generations. Back then, King Yu had personally fought in the battlefield and had obtained countless military merits in battles of various sizes outside the kingdom. He could be said to have great talent.
At the same time, his fame spread far and wide in this baptism of blood and fire. Although he had lived safely in the State of Yu for the past few years, no one had underestimated him.
Not only that, King Yu was also one of the best painters here. His beloved inscription could be described as one word that cost a thousand gold. Therefore, this "Food for the Heavens" restaurant seemed to have quite the background.
"Let's go, let's go in. Don't make Senior Jiang wait too long." Pei Lie said as he walked towards the 'Food for the Heavens'.
"Wait, brother Pei." Yang Muyun suddenly pulled Pei Lie back, "Senior Jiang is waiting for us here?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Pei Lie asked with a puzzled expression.
"Then, the stronghold of Shattered Leaf City of your Red Flower Society …" When Yang Muyun said this, his voice was even softer.
After all, the stronghold of the number one gang of the underworld, with the personal inscription of the current emperor, would probably cause huge waves if word were to spread out. Moreover, it would also cause King Yu, who held great power and reputation, to take action.
"Haha." Pei Lie followed Yang Muyun's gaze and immediately understood. He lowered his voice and said, "This is our Red Flower Society's largest stronghold in the southern region of the Great Yu Dynasty."
"This …" Yang Muyun was flabbergasted, and was immediately stunned.
"Brother Yang, if you have any doubts, you can ask elder Jiang after you enter." Pei Lie pulled Yang Muyun away, "So, let's go in first."
"Yes." Yang Muyun did not delay either, suppressing his surprise and curiosity as he followed Pei Lie into the food hall.
Once they entered the food world, Yang Muyun felt that the decorations outside were nothing. Although from the outside, the food world was already very big, but after they entered, they felt that it was smaller outside.
An antique room with carved beams, a flowery gatehouse, and a three-story pavilion. The plum orchid bamboo and other plants were all around. The environment was tranquil and serene. At the same time, although there were many customers, it was not messy. The fragrance of food filled the air, causing one to feel empty inside and having an appetite.
The entire food area was packed with people. Dozens of mahogany tables were arranged in the lobby. It was not enough. In such a large place, the customers walked in groups after groups. There were even customers standing around.
Several waiters came and went freely amidst the crowd. They shouted loudly and walked steadily. They did not panic at all; it was obvious that they were not ordinary people, but practitioners.
"This' Food for Heaven 'is indeed worthy of being the personal inscription of King Yu. It really isn't simple." As soon as Yang Muyun entered with Pei Lie, he took a careful look at the entire dining hall.
Yang Muyun also saw clearly that most of the customers eating in the sky were people with silks and silks, wearing luxurious clothes. One could tell that they were either rich or powerful, and were people with good reputations.
Sure enough, not just anyone could enter this' Eclipse '. Yang Muyun had also noticed that there were two burly men standing at the entrance of the' Eclipse Heaven '. It seemed like they were meant to guard the door.
Judging from the fluctuations in his true qi, they should all be first-rate cultivators. To think that the Eclipse Heaven would be able to invite a first-rate expert to watch over him. It seemed that he was also wealthy and had a wide network of connections.
"Alright, alright Brother Yang, stop looking." Pei Lie looked at Yang Muyun's stopped steps and reminded him.
Only now did Yang Muyun realize that he had unknowingly stopped moving. He slightly nodded his head and continued to follow closely behind Pei Lie. At the same time, he suppressed his thoughts and no longer sized him up.
"Oh, Master Pei, you're here." At this moment, a waiter who looked like a waiter saw Pei Lie and came over to greet him.
