"You two, can you tell me again if you can?" The man came over and slapped his hand on the table.
The woman on the side rolled her eyes impatiently, "Ding Zhi, get these two away quickly! They're so annoying, I'm almost starving to death!"
"Don't worry, Xiaolin, I will drive them away right away!"
But while the two of them were talking, they didn't see the corners of Ye Huayue's lips suddenly raised.
"ah--"
A scream immediately echoed through the entire restaurant.
The hand that the man slapped on the table had been penetrated by the chopsticks in Ye Huayue's hand and was nailed to the table.
"You, how dare you...don't you know that we are disciples of Shenghua Palace? How dare you offend Shenghua Palace!"
The woman named Xiaolin pointed at Ye Huayue and Long Jin tremblingly, not sure whether she was angry or frightened.
"Are you considered disciples of Shenghua Palace?" Ye Huayue sneered and glanced at them sideways, "With your level, I guess you are just a peripheral disciple, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be in the sect, but you would still be outside.
Wandering around all day.”
After Ye Huayue said this, the two people immediately stopped talking, but their faces looked as ugly as if they had eaten flies.
Seeing this scene, Ye Huayue knew something in her mind, and it seemed that she really got it right.
I don't know what happened to this city, but there weren't many talented people. It was hard to find these two, and they went to participate in the selection of Shenghua Palace, and eventually became two peripheral disciples.
But even though he is a peripheral disciple, he is also the first in this city! Therefore, he is naturally treated as a distinguished guest in this city.
Ding Zhi endured the pain and pulled the chopsticks out of his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly with a cruel look.
"How dare you underestimate us? Let me show you that even the peripheral disciples are not something you can afford to offend!"
The two looked at each other, and the man's body suddenly burst out with fighting spirit, while the woman began to mutter something in her mouth.
It turns out that one is a warrior and the other is a magician!
Ding Zhi waved his fists wrapped in fighting spirit and rushed towards the two of them.
Before Ye Huayue could take action, Long Jin had already taken action. A belt of light elements trapped the man in one fell swoop, and they continued to wrap around him, as if he had been wrapped into a mummy.
The woman was so startled that she forgot to recite the incantation in her mouth. When she stopped, the light belt that trapped the man just now also wrapped around her.
Xiaolin turned around and wanted to run away, but the light belt was wrapped around her feet, and she was immediately dragged to the ground.
Before she could turn over, the light belt had already wrapped around her whole body.
All of a sudden, two mummies appeared.
Ye Huayue also used a ball of light to wrap the two mummies inside. With a wave of his hand, he threw the two people out of the window as if they were shooting rubber balls.
After doing all this, the two of them sat down as if nothing had happened, and greeted the shopkeeper to serve them food.
However, this scene stunned everyone.
After a period of silence, whispers began to ring around.
"Oh my god, did you see it? They actually beat up those two disciples of Shenghua Temple!"
"Now, they have offended the Shenghua Palace!"
"You are stupid! Those two are just peripheral disciples. There is nothing they can offend. Shenghua Temple will not stand up for them! But did you see that those two are light element mages?"
"Moreover, let alone their identities, their level is higher than those two peripheral disciples!"
"However, even if Shenghua Palace doesn't come forward, these two people have offended the city lord. Those two disciples are the city lord's guests! As long as they are still in this city, the city lord may not let them go.
"
Everyone's discussions reached the ears of Long Jin and Ye Huayue.
The two of them also learned from Luo Tian Black Rat's information that even in this third plane, light mages are very rare. Therefore, they just came here specifically to attack the Mountain Zhenhu with such a move.
The shopkeeper no longer dared to talk about the restaurant and served the dishes obediently. However, before the two of them had a chance to take a few bites, a large group of people burst into the restaurant.
Moreover, their goal was very clear, and they headed straight for Long Jinye, who was on the second floor, and Ye Huayue came over.
When the others saw the battle, they all whispered, "Look, the city lord's army is coming right now!"
"Keep your voice down! Stop talking and leave quickly to avoid getting into trouble."
Many sensible people were afraid that they would be ruined, so they left without eating.
The leader of the team walked to the table where Ye Huayue and Long Jin were sitting and said, "You two, our city lord is kindhearted, so please come with us."
The two of them were still eating the food on the table leisurely. Long Jin asked casually: "Why did you ask us to come?"
"This... you two will know after you go there."
"Then let him wait." Ye Huayue took over, "The guy who disturbs others while they are eating is the most rude person."
The leader quickly said: "The city lord has prepared a small amount of wine in the mansion and is waiting for you two. I would like to ask you to show your appreciation."
"Yo? Invite us to dinner?" Ye Huayue raised her eyes, "It's not the Hongmen Banquet, right?"
Ye Huayue doesn't know whether people in this world know about the Hongmen Banquet.
"Jin, what do you think?" Ye Huayue looked at Long Jin opposite.
"I guess the food in the City Lord's Mansion will be better, so let's go try it!" Long Jin said with a smile.
Hearing this, the leader of the team secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, shopkeeper, let's pay!" Ye Huayue waved to the shopkeeper.
"No need, the city lord has already paid the bill for you two for this meal," the man said again.
Ye Huayue and Long Jin looked at each other, both slightly confused. If they were called to investigate, wouldn't they have to pay for the meal?
There is something strange about this matter.
Following the team, the two came to the city lord's palace, the most luxurious palace in the city.
The group of people led the two of them into a room, where a large round table was already filled with wine and food.
The potbellied middle-aged man in the room saw the two people coming in and immediately stood up to greet them.
"Welcome, welcome. The arrival of the two of you really brightens up the humble house!" the city lord said quickly.
"City Lord, you're welcome." Long Jin snorted.
Ye Hua smiled on the moon, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Just like you, the house is filled with rare antiques, is this called a humble house?"
The city lord led the two of them to the table and sat down himself.
There were only three of them sitting on such a big table, and the food on this table would definitely be unfinished. Besides, everyone had their own thoughts and it was hard to decide whether they were in the mood to eat, so Ye Huayue began to complain in her heart about what a waste it was.
After sitting down, Long Jin didn't waste any time and spoke directly, "City Lord, let's not do those false etiquettes. If you have anything to say, just say it! You definitely didn't come to us for something as simple as eating."
Ye Huayue also smiled sarcastically, "Could it be those two defeated generals who came to you to complain? Tell me, what do you want to do to us?"
Ye Huayue's straightforward words made the city lord break out in sweat. Long Jin's words were fine, but Ye Huayue's words really showed no mercy at all.
"Ashamed, ashamed!" the city lord said repeatedly, "Ignore those two ignorant people."
Long Jin and Ye Huayue looked at each other again.
This is really strange. Didn’t those two people say they were guests of the city lord? Why does the city lord have such an attitude now? They are not big shots, so does the city lord need to be so cautious?
The city lord wanted to persuade him to drink, but Ye Huayue stopped him with a word and came back.
"City Lord, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. After you finish speaking, we can eat this meal in peace," Ye Huayue said.
The city lord looked at the expressions of the two men and had no choice but to put down the wine glass.
"Since you two are so quick to talk, I'll tell you the truth. I invite you both to come, firstly, to apologize for what happened today, and secondly, I really want to ask for something."
Ye Huayue and Long Jin looked understanding.
"Then what's going on?" Long Jin asked.
The city lord looked at the two of them and said, "I want to invite you two to participate in the disciple selection of Shenghua Palace."
Hearing this, Long Jin and Ye Huayue couldn't help but sit up straighter.
"What... does this mean?" Long Jin asked.
The city lord sighed, "Then I won't hide it from you two and tell you directly."
"My city can be regarded as the last one among the more than 300 cities ruled by Shenghua Palace. Because there are few talents in my city, in the end, only the two who can become Shenghua Palace
peripheral disciple."
"The care given to each city by the Holy Flower Palace is based on the number of disciples. And because there are few disciples in our city, the resources available to us are even less. Some elixirs, magic cores, and refining items,
Every time our city gets the least. This becomes a vicious cycle, because there are few resources, so there are even less capable people."
"And now, the time for selecting disciples for the Shenghua Temple, which is held every five years, is coming again, but there is still no one in my city. It happened that the two of them came to my city, and I immediately felt that this was God's gift to me.
Please help me! Two powerful and rare light element mages, with their abilities, they will definitely become disciples of Shenghua Palace!"
After saying that, the city lord looked at the two of them excitedly, with infinite hope in his eyes.
The two looked at each other and exchanged opinions.
Neither of them spoke and fell silent. Seeing the silence of the two, an anxious look appeared on the face of the city lord.
After a long time, Long Jin broke the silence and asked the city lord: "Why are you looking for us? Are you so confident that we two outsiders will represent your city to participate in that disciple selection?"
