The voice fell, and a chubby middle-aged man walked into the private room with a smile on his face and looked very amiable.
However, what he said next was in stark contrast to the smile on his face.
"Guests, your meal totals 87,200 gold coins!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ying and others were immediately startled.
"What? More than 80,000 gold coins?"
"Why is it so expensive?"
"Isn't it just an ordinary meal? How can you get so much money?"
Nangong Liuli also had a pretty face with a gloomy face, "Is this a black shop? Most of what we order are home-cooked dishes, which cost ten gold coins at most. You actually told me that it's more than 80,000?"
"Girl, the food in our restaurant is indeed more expensive than other places, and the food you just ordered was carefully prepared by us, so the price must be a lot more expensive!"
In order to convince Nangong Liuli and others, the shop owner also patiently introduced, "Have you seen this bottle of wine? This is our special wine, 45,000 gold coins per bottle!"
"Isn't this just ordinary Qinglang wine?" Nangong Liuli frowned.
"Of course not!" the shop owner said pleasantly: "This wine is similar to Qinglang wine, but the price is very different!"
"You've made it clear that you want to trick us, right?" Nangong Liuli said through gritted teeth.
"Girl, the prices in our store are fair. If you can't afford it, you can ask about the price in advance. But you didn't ask before. It's no wonder we're here!" The store owner still smiled.
But in Nangong Liuli's eyes, he was as hateful as he could be.
"You are clearly trying to trick someone..."
She wanted to continue to argue, but the shop owner became a little impatient. He waved his hand and looked at Ye Chen, "Master, please pay!"
"What's the bill?" Ye Chen shrugged, with an innocent look on his face, "It's not my treat, what do you want me to do?"
What?
Not your treat?
The shop owner was stunned for a moment.
When the old acquaintance of the Piaomiao Sect found him just now, he kept saying that it was this pretty boy who was treating the guests, and then asked him to raise the price when paying the bill, making the pretty boy lose face in front of the beautiful woman.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it wasn’t this pretty boy who was treating me?
If not, wouldn't their wishful thinking come to nothing?
Not only the shop owner was shocked, but Nangong Liuli's three female classmates were also surprised.
"Junior sister Nangong, what he said can't be true, right?"
"If he doesn't invite you, then you still can't invite him?"
"Isn't this joke a little too big?"
In addition to Liu Ying and others, Lu Kai in the private room next door was also stunned.
Normally, when men and women go out to eat, isn’t it the man who treats the guests?
Especially for a proud woman like Nangong Liuli, as long as any man can invite her to have a meal with her, it will definitely become a kind of bragging capital to others.
How could this Ye Chen be so virtuous? He was already lucky enough to have dinner with a beauty like Nangong Liuli, but he actually wanted Nangong Liuli to treat him?
"No, this is impossible. This kid must not be able to pay, and then he is planning to default on the bill, or he wants to blame the problem on Nangong Liuli!"
As if he couldn't believe this was true, Lu Kai gritted his teeth and said.
Several fellow disciples nearby also followed suit.
"Yes, this guy must have no money, and then he shamelessly said it was not his treat!"
"Who is this kid? He's just a humble servant. What qualifications does he have for a beauty like Nangong Liuli to treat him to dinner?"
"Don't panic, everyone, let's take a look at the situation first!"
In the private room next to it.
"It's really not my treat. If you don't believe me, you can ask her!" Ye Chen pointed at Nan Gong Liuli.
"Yes, it was indeed me who invited the two brothers and sisters to eat!"
In the disbelief of everyone's eyes, Nangong Liuli actually admitted it in public.
For a moment, Lu Kai and others in the private room next door felt unbalanced.
"Why is it Nangong Liuli's treat?"
"How could she admit it?"
"What is the origin of that boy that he actually needs a beautiful woman like Nangong Liuli to treat him to dinner?"
While Lu Kai and others were indignant, the shop owner in front of Ye Chen also looked embarrassed.
"Girl, are you really treating me?" he asked cautiously.
"Of course!" Nangong Liuli nodded heavily.
"this……"
The shop owner suddenly didn't know what to do.
If it was Nangong Liuli who was treating guests, he definitely couldn't be so deceitful.
But the words he spoke were like water being thrown away. He had already clearly stated the price just now. If he changed his words now, wouldn't he be accused of cheating customers?
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Since it's a girl's treat, then pay for it!"
"What if I don't pay?"
Knowing that it was a trap, Nangong Liuli naturally couldn't be fooled.
"Girl, do you know where this place is?"
The shop owner's face darkened, he put his hands on his back and snorted coldly: "This shop was opened with money from an external instructor of the Piaomiao Sect. Even if you are disciples of the Piaomiao Sect, you can't just eat for free!"
"Even if Piaomiao Sect's mentor paid for it, he would never try to trick me!" Nangong Liuli did not compromise at all.
Li Lan, who was next to him, asked curiously: "Which mentor from the outer sect is he?"
"I might as well tell you that it is the instructor of Zhenlie Hall, Wen Tongwen Wen, who is the boss behind this store!"
When he mentioned Master Zhenlietang, the shop owner showed respect.
However, Li Lan and the others next to him burst out laughing on the spot.
"Haha, it's actually Teacher Wen?"
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"It's so funny!"
Not only Li Lan and the three girls, Nangong Liuli also changed his angry look just now, and his face was filled with laughter and tears.
"Why are you laughing?" The shop owner was a little annoyed at being laughed at by so many people, and said with a stern tone.
"Shopkeeper, if we say that we are disciples of the Piao Miao Sect's Zhenlie Hall, are you sure you still want to charge me that much money?" Nangong Liuli said with a half-smile.
"What? Are you the disciples of Zhenlie Hall?" the shopkeeper opened his mouth.
There are over a hundred halls in the outer sect of Piaomiao Sect, and each hall has anywhere from a few disciples to over a hundred.
I originally thought that even if these women were disciples of the Piaomiao Sect, they should have little to do with Zhenlie Hall.
I never thought it would be such a coincidence.
"Innkeeper, what do you think, if we go back and ask Instructor Wen that a meal at your place actually costs more than 80,000 gold coins, what will the Instructor's reaction be?" Nangong Liuli pointed out.
"Girl, don't, don't be like this, this is a misunderstanding..."
The shop owner changed his color instantly. He no longer wanted to be brave and hurriedly surrendered, "Actually, someone instigated me to do this..."
No longer caring about the old acquaintance's situation, the shopkeeper immediately told the whole story.
