Chapter 2523

"Stop, stop, stop. I’ll just eat the lamb chops." The Silver Fox realized he couldn’t win a verbal battle against Zhu Yanyi, so he decided it was better to focus on his food.

Yan Aohan smiled beside them, only serving Zhu Yanyi dishes. To him, as long as Zhu Yanyi didn’t lose, nothing else mattered.

As they were eating, the door to the private room opened. A group of people walked in. Zhu Yanyi recognized them as participants in the Heavenly Fortune Competition.

"This private room belongs to the Fallen Heaven Sect now," the leader said with an arrogant look. "Leave immediately, or I’ll make you leave."

"Fallen Heaven Sect? What is that?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously. She was actually quite annoyed. They were paying for their meal, yet these people were bullying them. If they were local bullies, it would be one thing, but this Fallen Heaven Sect seemed to be just another small, outsider sect.

"You don’t know our reputation? We ranked ninety-ninth in the first round of the Heavenly Fortune Competition," the arrogant man boasted.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly, then said, "Even if you were nineteenth, ninth, or first, what does it matter to us? We aren’t your parents. Do we have to care about everything you do?"

Her words carried a cold sneer and mockery, which stunned the group.

The arrogant man looked at Zhu Yanyi. "You don’t know who we are, do you?"

"People from the Fallen Heaven Sect. Didn’t you just introduce yourselves?" Cui Wan spoke up. "My master isn’t hard of hearing. She heard you clearly. I’m just curious why you’re telling us this."

The arrogant man was speechless. "Shouldn’t you give us the room?"

"Can you snatch a private room at Wanjiadenghuo? Isn’t it reserved?" the Silver Fox asked.

A waiter who had heard the commotion hurried over. "Guests, sorry to disturb you. Rest assured, private rooms at Wanjiadenghuo are always reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. This is our rule. We never allow snatching. Please don’t worry."

The waiter then turned to the arrogant man. "Friends from the Fallen Heaven Sect, congratulations on your good result in the first round. We understand you want to celebrate. However, snatching is never allowed here. There are no private rooms left now. I can arrange a large table in the main hall for you. If you insist on a private room, please make a reservation for another day. Once reserved, you can come back then."

The waiter spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly, approving of her attitude. Most importantly, she felt that Wanjiadenghuo, which could train such a waiter, was indeed a good establishment.

The arrogant man was dissatisfied. "What if we insist on this room?"

"Every Heavenly Fortune Competition has rules. During the competition and the month before and after, no troublemaking is allowed in the competition area. If you insist on snatching this room, it means you are picking a fight. I can report this to the patrol team under the jurisdiction of the Xingyue City Lord’s Mansion. They will handle it. As for the final result, honestly, I don’t know."

The waiter shrugged, indicating he didn’t know how the patrol team would deal with them.

Hearing this, the arrogant man felt a bit panicked. He knew the patrol team was not easy to deal with. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, we’ll just eat in the main hall."

"Please follow me," the waiter said, leading the way. The arrogant man, though unwilling, was forced by reality to go downstairs to the main hall.

About five minutes later, the waiter returned to their private room. "The incident earlier was due to our lack of supervision. We apologize for the trouble. Today’s meal will be charged at half price. Additionally, we are presenting a plate of spirit fruits as a gesture of goodwill. Please forgive us." He placed a plate of spirit fruits on the table. "Enjoy your meal. Excuse me."

Looking at the spirit fruits, Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "It seems this shop is quite good. They know what to do and what not to do."

Yan Aohan smiled and said, "Those who open shops in the Immortal Realm are all old foxes. They know how to behave. Besides, even if we didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t offend us specially. Business people know that helping others helps themselves."

Zhu Yanyi nodded in agreement. "However, that Fallen Heaven Sect… honestly, I look down on them. It seems we need to suppress them first in five days."

"If there weren’t rules against private fighting here, I would have gone to beat them up," the Silver Fox said.

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "It doesn’t matter. We didn’t expect this either."

Hearing this, the Silver Fox didn’t mind. "But after the competition, I think it’s necessary to have a good spar with them."

"Qianhuang Sheng, your vindictive nature is wrong. We are medicine and pill cultivators. We should be gentlemen who take ten years for revenge," Zhu Yanyi said, seemingly lecturing the Silver Fox. However, her words made people shiver. It seemed the Fallen Heaven Sect was destined to become cannon fodder.

Not to mention anything else, the medicine and pill cultivation techniques of the Azure Sovereign Sect were right there. Although immortals in the Immortal Realm didn’t eat five grains and vegetables like mortals and didn’t get sick easily, they still needed various medicines and pills for cultivation. Especially if they went on adventures or participated in wars, it was even more necessary.

The Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi and said slowly, "I thought you wanted to stop me. Turns out you’ve been talking for so long just to make me cut their flesh with a dull knife."

Zhu Yanyi rolled her eyes. "Would someone as kind as me do such a thing?" Then she smiled and said, "Naturally, this is something for you all to do."

It turned out Zhu Yanyi was just a hands-off boss, while the others were assistants helping the hands-off boss do the work.

Zhu Yanyi and her group didn’t take the Fallen Heaven Sect seriously.

While Zhu Yanyi and her group were celebrating, Lang Yi and Pingchuan were summarizing the first round of the competition.
