When Chen Yu woke up from the coma, she was back at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. She groggily got out of bed and opened the heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains of the hotel. It was already dark outside.
Stung by the bright neon lights on the street, she unconsciously squinted, turned around and found her bag on the sofa. She then fished out her phone inside to call her grandfather.
Are you awake? The place where Elder Wu was seed to be a bit noisy, as there was a distinct murmur on the phone.
Why is it suddenly dark? Chen Yu hadnt sobered up just yet.
Did you beco stupid from your sleep? Elder Wu said in disgust, Have you forgotten about the activation of the Soul Gathering Formation?
Oh, I rember. Chen Yu asked again, Where are you?
Seeing that youre not waking up, I ca out to eat. Do you want to co along? Its at a barbecue stall three intersections ahead of the hotel entrance, Elder Wu answered while eating skewers.
Forget it. By the ti I get there, youd be finished eating. Ill find a place to eat so, Chen Yu declined and moved to hang up the phone.
Girl
Hm? Chen Yu heard Elder Wu call her, and put the phone back to her ear.
When you activated the Soul Gathering Formation you consud a bit too much spiritual power, do you feel anything wrong now? Elder Wu asked tentatively.
No, ah? Chen Yu mobilized the spiritual power in her body. I feel fine, and my spiritual power has almost recovered.
Thats good. Ill hang up. Elder Wu ended the call and decided not to tell Chen Yu what happened in the stone room for the ti being.
The reason was simple. If Chen Yu rembered, then naturally he didnt need to say anything. If Chen Yu didnt, then it wasnt the right ti. Well, anyway, he did not want to see that silly girl seek her own death. As for Lou Ming, werent they already looking for spiritual artifacts for him? Elder Wu asked the boss for twenty skewers of barbecue without any pressure.
Chen Yu washed her face and changed clothes. She used her phone to find a more famous specialty restaurant nearby, intending to go out for dinner. After a day without food, she was now starving.
Restaurant businesses seed to be particularly thriving. It was already past dinner ti, but the restaurants were still full with 60-70% of the guests. It was clear to see that the online reviews of the delicious food there were true.
Hello, Miss, the waiter greeted enthusiastically.
For one.
Is sitting inside alright with you? There is a table for two over there, the waiter asked.
Chen Yu nodded indifferently and followed the waiter inside. Halfway there, the waiter nearly bumped into a guest coming down from the second floor. He was leading the way, so he politely turned to the side, so Chen Yu bumped into an acquaintance without warning.
Shishi. Lu Nings voice was of surprise.
Lu Ning. Chen Yu was also a little surprised.
Lu Ning looked at the waiter next to him and asked, Are you here for dinner?
Yeah. Chen Yu nodded.
With friends? Lu Ning asked.
No, its just , Chen Yu replied.
Then do you want to join ? Ive reserved a private room upstairs, Lu Ning warmly invited.
Just when Chen Yu hesitated to go up, a girl ca running down the stairs and shouted when she saw Lu Nings back, Brother Lu Ning, Auntie Lin said not to pick a fish too big. We wouldnt be able to eat a fish too big anyway. Why are you here?
Yan Xin looked at Chen Yu with a hellish expression, and her tone unconsciously rose a few octaves higher.
Is it strange for
to appear here? Chen Yu raised her eyebrows.
The Profound Spirit Grand Competition was in two weeks, so it was really not strange for Chen Yu to appear there.
Co along, its no fun to be alone, Lu Ning continued to warmly invite.
No way. Without waiting for Chen Yus answer, Yan Xin excitedly objected beforehand.
Xiner? Lu Ning looked at Yan Xin disapprovingly, seemingly feeling that her attitude was entirely rude.
Chen Yu originally did not want to go, but when she saw Yan Xins expression, her interest was pricked, and so she nodded and agreed, Then Ill trouble you.
Its no trouble, no trouble. Lu Ning then turned his head to the waiter at the side and said, Im from room 206 upstairs. Please pick a smaller fish and send it over after steaming.
Okay. The waiter nodded and turned to leave.
Ill take you up, Lu Ning said to Chen Yu with a smile.
Chen Yu nodded and followed behind Lu Ning towards the second floor. Yan Xin, who was behind him, couldnt stop her, was so pissed she stomped her feet in place. Seeing Yan Xin seething like that, she found it sowhat funny, but when she walked into Room 206, she wasnt amused anymore. She regretted it. Why did she have to cut her own nose to spite Yan Xin? The girl was absolutely bent on closing in on her, ah.
Shishi, this is my mother. Lu Ning introduced her to a middle-aged beautiful woman with a gentle temperant on the main seat, Mom, this is my friend, Chen Yu. You can call her Shishi, Shi of Xishi.
Xishi? Sure enough, you look stunning. Mrs. Lu looked at Chen Yu gently.
Hello, auntie. Chen Yus constitution was reserved at the sight of elders, especially this kind of elder who especially bore a mother-like temperant.
Sit, take a seat. Dont be formal when were eating together. Seeing Chen Yus restraint, Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
Fellow Daoist Chen, we et again, Yan Wei on the side also greeted Chen Yu smilingly.
Chen Yu had a better impression of Yan Wei than his sister Yan Xin, so when she heard him greeting her, she also responded politely. Not long after, the waiter ca up and added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, after which dishes were served one after another. Everyone chatted while eating.
