Hearing someone call out to him, Pei Lie stopped and turned to look at the waiter.
When the waiter saw that Pei Lie had listened to what he had to say, he rolled his eyes and walked over quickly. "Master Pei, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for quite some time."
Yang Muyun, who was half a body behind Pei Lie, noticed that as the waiter spoke, he lightly touched Pei Lie's arm. He immediately determined that this waiter was also from the Red Flower Society.
"Mhmm, are we not going to pick up the guests?" Pei Lie nodded his head at the waiter and then pointed at Yang Muyun, who was behind him.
The waiter passed Pei Lie's body and looked at Yang Muyun, who was behind him. Yang Muyun also happened to look over at this moment and met the waiter's gaze.
Yang Muyun felt that although this waiter had a friendly and playful face, there was a hint of undetectable light in his eyes that was definitely not the work of a restaurant waiter.
He was convinced that this waiter was a member of the Red Flower Society, and Pei Lie was right about that. It seemed that the Heaven Eater was a stronghold of the Red Flower Society.
"Alright, then hurry up and leave with me, otherwise the food will get cold soon." The waiter retracted his gaze and calmly spoke to Pei Lie. At the same time, his footsteps also started to move.
"Yes, yes." Pei Lie responded to the waiter as he said to Yang Muyun, "Yang Muyun, let's go."
Finished speaking, the waiter led the way, with Yang Muyun and Pei Lie following behind him. The three of them went straight up the stairs to the second floor.
The first floor was the main hall and the second floor was a private room. Most restaurants in the world had this structure, so food was inevitable. However, this private room was better and more comfortable than the others.
At this moment, the private rooms on the second floor were fully occupied. All the private rooms were tightly shut. Some noisy noises could be heard from time to time. It was just a drinking method.
Yang Muyun's gaze only stayed for a moment on the second floor's private room before moving away. This wasn't because he wasn't interested in this place, but because the waiter didn't stop and led them to the third floor.
The third floor was the tallest and most luxurious room in the world. It did look even more luxurious and detailed than the second floor.
"This place seems to be a gold mine as well!" Yang Muyun let out a sigh in his heart. Along the way here, he only saw the sounds of music, and even though it was a restaurant, it was still very expensive.
"Here we are. "Pei Lie, guest, this is the location." The waiter brought Pei Lie and Yang Muyun to a private room in the middle of the third floor and stopped in front of it.
"Is that person here?" Pei Lie asked.
"Naturally." The waiter replied.
"Very well, thank you very much." Pei Lie cupped his hands.
The waiter merely smiled at Pei Lie and didn't say anything. He quickly retreated to the side and went downstairs. There were still many things that needed his attention.
Yang Muyun saw it. When the waiter retreated to the side, he touched Pei Lie's arm for the entire day. Although his movements were small, he was still able to see it.
"Brother Yang, let's go in." Pei Lie shouted as he pushed open the door.
The door to the private room was opened. He only heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing through the sea of bamboo, and the rustling of thousands of leaves. The sound was pleasant to the ear.
On the window seat of the private room, there was a person sitting with his back to the window. He was dressed in a black robe with some red embroidered edges, and one of his golden eyes was blocked by the huge round table in the middle.
Yang Muyun could tell at a glance that this person was the master of the "Earth Leaf Pavilion", "Golden Eye" Jiang Xi.
His heart was filled with excitement as he subconsciously prepared to enter. However, he discovered that Pei Lie had started his journey here from the very beginning. He just stood there, not moving at all.
"Brother Pei, you're not going in?" Yang Muyun asked with a puzzled expression.
"I'm not going in. My job is only to send you here. Besides, I have some matters to take care of." Pei Lie's eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble brother Pei this time. If there's a chance next time, I'll treat you to another drink." Yang Muyun could guess from the waiter's actions just now that Pei Lie was going to be busy with his own.
"It's a deal?"
"It's a deal!"
"Then I'll wait for Brother Yang's wine!" Pei Lie walked over with a smile on his face before quickly heading downstairs.
Yang Muyun was not so relaxed. He took a few steps into the private room and silently closed the door. He cupped his hands and greeted, "Yang Muyun greets Senior Jiang."
At this moment, Jiang Xi, who had been sitting by the window without any emotions, stood up and slowly turned around after hearing Yang Muyun's words, "Little friend, you made me wait."
"I've just arrived at Shattered Leaf City, so I'm unfamiliar with the city. I've spent quite a bit of time here. I hope that senior can forgive me." Yang Muyun was sincerely sorry, but at the same time he was also looking at Jiang Xi.
His square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and short beard looked clean and tidy, and he seemed not only resolute but also calm. If he hadn't seen him before, Yang Muyun would never have believed that this person was the master of the third largest intelligence organization in the martial arts world, "Master Earth Xuan".
Logically speaking, he should be an extremely astute person. However, it was unexpected for him to be like this. It was just like how the food was the heavens. The name of the emperor hung on the plaque, yet it was the stronghold of the number one gang in the underworld. This was hard for people to believe, but the truth was like this.
There were always some things in this world. It's not something you can see and see with your eyes, so don't rely too much on your eyes. Maybe sometimes it will only give you the wrong answer.
"It's fine, as long as little friend is here." Jiang Xi didn't care too much about it. She waved her hand, signaling Yang Muyun to sit down.
"I wonder how long it has been. Has Senior Jiang managed to receive anything from Shattered Leaf City?" Yang Muyun found a seat and sat down. He didn't beat around the bush and directly entered the main topic.
"Hur hur." Jiang Xi then sat back down in her chair and placed her hands on the sides of the chair, "My little friend, you are so straightforward, but I like dealing with real people."
"There's one to say one, two to say two, there's no need for those fake ones to come." Jiang Xi said, "My little friend, you've indeed received something from me."
"However …" Jiang Xi stopped here.
Yang Muyun thought about it. He immediately picked up the conversation, "What do you need me to do, senior?"
"Satisfying!" Jiang Xi praised, "But I'm a bit worried, let me show you something first."
After saying that, Jiang Xi sat there motionlessly, her hands knocked on the chair a few times, then Yang Muyun found that a few wooden planks beside the wall were suddenly lifted up, revealing the scene outside.
The few pieces of wood looked like a small window. The door was wide open, and what was revealed was the scene on the first floor.
This private room could actually see the things on the first floor. Yang Muyun had never seen this kind of mechanism before, but he didn't understand what Jiang Xi actually meant.
