Capítulo 1622: Chapter 1627: Snatching a Table
The first floor was bustling with people, not a single table left unoccupied.
The second floor was the sa, filled to the brim with people, with hardly any space to move around.
Xia Liu headed straight to the third floor.
Here, it was much better than the first and second floors.
Though it was also full of guests, there weren’t too many people crowded around each table.
Usually only three to four per table.
Additionally, it was extrely quiet here, only a few sounds wafting through the air.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Liu understood why.
The ones drinking here were all cultivators!
Unless one possessed absolute power, who would dare to make loud noises?
If they accidentally provoked a formidable cultivator, they’d be in serious trouble.
The Cultivator Realm is just like that, strength is revered.
When you are weak, keeping a low profile is the way to survive.
Xia Liu looked around for a while and suddenly noticed a table that was about to be vacated.
He slowly moved over.
Once the guests stood up, he quickly sat down.
On the table were only three wine cups and three empty wine jars.
No ss at all.
“Custor, what would you like to order?”
Little Er didn’t rush to clear the wine cups on the table but handed Xia Liu the nu to look over.
“Get
a jar of wine, and just bring so dishes at random.”
“Okay! That will be fifty silver notes in total!”
Just as Xia Liu was about to take out the silver notes to settle the bill, a girl suddenly sat down in the seat next to him.
“Big brother, there’s no table left, can I sit here? I’ll help you pay for your order.”
The girl blinked her bright eyes, looking pitifully at Xia Liu.
Xu ngxue had been waiting here for nearly an hour, and just when she stepped out of the tavern for a mont, soone left the table, and she missed her chance!
She didn’t want to wait any longer, after all, Xia Liu was alone, and if she simply sat in a seat and helped him pay, it should be okay…
“You can sit here, but I’ll pay for my bill myself.”
Xia Liu did not refuse, sipping his wine, and there was a beauty to look at.
Why refuse?
“No, no, no! I’ll pay for you, big brother.”
Receiving Xia Liu’s permission, Xu ngxue was overjoyed and quickly pulled Little Er aside.
After ordering so items, she took out the silver notes, hastening Little Er to leave quickly.
Afraid that Xia Liu would refuse her good intentions.
Sitting beside Xia Liu, Xu ngxue felt very grateful towards the man in the black robe.
Then she started so small talk: “Hello, big brother, I’m Xu ngxue, my friends call
ngxue, how should I address you?”
“Just call
Xia Liu.”
“Hello, Brother Xia Liu, I have a good friend who might co and need a seat, I wonder…”
Xu ngxue spoke with a bit of bitterness.
“It’s okay, I’m alone anyway, I can’t use all these seats.”
“Thank you, big brother!”
Xu ngxue thanked him excitedly.
Before long, a young man about twenty years old rushed up the third floor.
“Dahu! Over here!”
Seeing Dahu coming up, Xu ngxue stood up and waved.
“Sister ngxue!”
Sitting down, Dahu glanced at Xia Liu, then at Xu ngxue, and started to let his imagination run wild.
“Don’t look and guess recklessly, if not for the permission of this big brother, we might have to wait even longer!”
“Oh, thank you, big brother.”
Understanding the situation, Dahu thanked him very politely.
“No problem, as long as you’re happy.”
Hearing Xu ngxue call out Dahu, Xia Liu thought of Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu and Dazhuang, they were his childhood playmates.
Now they are on the sa path as he is.
He wondered how their cultivation levels had progressed.
Once his trip to the Western Region was over, he should be able to return peacefully, no longer needing to roam the world…
“Little Er, could you co over for a mont? We need to add so items.”
Seeing Little Er coming up, Xu ngxue waved and called out.
Little Er hurriedly ran over, but before Xu ngxue could speak, he anxiously said, “Honored guests, the previous guests haven’t actually left the table, so we’re asking you to get up.”
“What?”
“That can’t be, there’s nothing on the table.”
Dahu and Xu ngxue were both a bit upset.
It seed like they were being blatantly bullied, having waited for nearly an ancient hour to get this chance.
Now they are saying that the guests who left haven’t actually left, and want to co back!?
How is this possible?
“That’s indeed the case; the previous guests just went downstairs to get sothing. It’s my fault for keeping you waiting.”
“No need to say anything, this table was hard to co by!”
Xu ngxue, usually good-tempered, was quite upset after such a long wait.
With Xia Liu’s consent, she finally had the opportunity to sit down; even if the emperor ca, she wouldn’t get up!
“Hurry and serve us food!”
Dahu stood firmly with Xu ngxue, their family still held so weight in the Imperial City.
In a situation where they had the right, he couldn’t possibly back down.
Just when Little Er wanted to say sothing more, a woman in a long robe hurried over.
“What’s taking so long? Hurry up!”
“Honored guests, I’ll kneel to you if need be…”
Pressed by the woman, Little Er felt like crying.
He understood the gravity of the situation; if he couldn’t resolve it, he might even lose his job.
Xia Liu placed a hand on Little Er’s shoulder, preventing him from kneeling.
“Just say it plainly, who is it that wants to sit here?”
From Little Er’s anxious deanor, Xia Liu had a rough guess.
This seat, right by the window, offered a great view.
Anyone with so status in the Imperial City would naturally choose this spot.
The food and drinks hadn’t even arrived at his table yet, so Little Er would obviously try to find a reason to persuade him to leave.
“Ah!”
Both Dahu and Xu ngxue were sowhat stunned by Xia Liu’s words.
Perhaps this was really the way it was!
“In truth, let
tell you, soone possibly from the imperial family is planning to visit the tavern, and we kindly ask you not to make things difficult for us…”
Little Er was on the verge of tears.
Seeing Xia Liu hit the nail on the head, he decided not to hide anything further.
The Heaven and Earth Tavern had so background, but it certainly couldn’t afford to offend soone from the imperial family.
So now, they had no choice but to put Xia Liu in an awkward position.
“Heh, the imperial family cos here to exercise their privilege; that can be understood, but this spot is one we waited hard for. Why don’t you ask others to get up instead?”
Xia Liu sneered, thinking it a good opportunity to see just how capable the Western Regions Imperial Family really was!
As Xia Liu scanned the room,
all the cultivators at their tables on the third floor looked his way.
Many cultivators of the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation were particularly itching to make a move to suppress Xia Liu.
But the thought soon vanished from their minds.
As imperial family mbers might handle this afterwards, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to just sit back and watch?
“You fool, what are you doing, the distinguished guest has started coming up!”
The woman rushed over again, almost slapping Little Er awake.
“Manager, I can’t make them leave.”
“Damn it!”
The woman cursed, her face suddenly softened, intending to persuade Xia Liu to get up.
But before she could say anything, a respectful voice ca from the entryway: “Distinguished guest, please co inside, we’ve prepared your seat…”
