Chapter 1364 – Until Eating

An Zheng also didn’t know how long he had slept, but when he opened his eyes, the sky outside was already very dark. Qu Liuxi sat right beside him and he rested his head on Qu Liuxi’s arm. He hadn’t moved for a long time and he didn’t know if her arm was really sore or numb.

“Why didn’t you wake me up and let me see your hands?”

An Zheng said with pain in his heart.

Qu Liuxi laughed like the warm winter sun.

“I can’t bear to.”

She had only said these three words, but they were completely sweet.

An Zheng held her in his arms and rubbed her arms, “It’s sucare occasion for me to be at ease and I wanted to accompany you for a bit more, but I didn’t expect that I would sleep until it was night. You haven’t eaten dinner yet, right? How about we go out for dinner today? ”

Qu Liuxi nodded her head, “I want to have some stew. I don’t have any in Nine Saint Mountain City.”

“Then go find it.”

An Zheng pulled Qu Liuxi up and walked outside. Not far from the courtyard was Weiyang Lake. At this moment, Weiyang Lake was still very beautiful. Under the moonlight, the lake looked very enchanting. Qu Liuxi couldn’t resist taking a deep breath. She opened her arms and let the wind from the lake move her long hair. Weiyang Lake was very big, extending all the way until the outside of Yancheng. Connecting with the moat of the Yancheng was the Water City Gate of the Yancheng on the other side of the lake. After exiting the city gates, one would be able to see the vast contest ground.

Although he could not see, he could imagine that the contest ground was still crowded with people. The rogue cultivators would not waste a single second. Those who had originally wanted to go to the Swordlock Pavilion and those who wanted to go there all changed their original intentions. Right now, they only had one goal, and that was to enter the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

However, the Heavenly Awakening Sect was the hardest sect to enter.

The two of them walked by the lake and exited the academy. It was a very bustling street. However, An Zheng had forgotten. He had already ordered a curfew, and at this moment, there was not a single pedestrian on the street. The larger restaurants were all closed, since there were no customers at night.

“How embarrassing.”

Qu Liuxi squinted her eyes and laughed, causing her face to turn slightly red, as she pulled on Qu Liuxi’s hand: “I know a place to eat.”

Walking along the main street for around seven to eight hundred meters, he saw a brightly lit restaurant. An Zheng treated her disciple in the Heavenly Awakening Sect extremely well. This was something that everyone knew, and the commoners in the Yancheng saw it even more clearly. Because there were disciples on patrol at night, in order to worry about them starving, An Zheng got Gu Chaotong to contact several restaurants that were open for business at night, and those disciples that were in charge of patrolling would be able to eat a steaming hot meal when they changed their duties.

An Zheng brought Qu Liuxi and walked into the restaurant. The hot air inside made people feel comfortable. The Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples who were dressed in the same uniform were seated around a table. They were all well-behaved, and no one spoke loudly. They were not soldiers, but they had more strict discipline than soldiers.

At each table, there were six dishes, along with a large pot of stew. The steamed buns were steaming and no one was allowed to drink when they were on duty. People who don’t like to eat pasta and rice. When the disciple guarding outside the door saw An Zheng, he was so excited that he almost shouted out loud. An Zheng waved his hand to indicate for him not to make any noise, then went in through the door and found a table at the side to sit at.

At this time, a disciple stood up, clasped his hands, and politely said, “Sir, I don’t have a bowl and chopsticks.”

The sleepy waiter said: “Too little? How is this possible? Maybe you stole it. “Don’t eat without a bowl or chopsticks, just grab with your hands.”

This restaurant was originally opened by a very important person under Ning Xiaolou’s command. This person was called Liang Jin. This person had a good reputation in the Yancheng, he did not do anything evil. At that time, when he was thinking about how to stabilize the Yancheng, he decided to keep him in the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and gave him the position of Branch Lord. Perhaps the waiter felt that his master was much more noble than the ordinary disciples, and it was also because he was tired from serving so many people at night that he spoke so rudely.

The disciple was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the waiter to have sucone. He opened his mouth and sat down without saying anything. His companion who was sitting beside him glanced at him. He finished the steamed bun in a few bites, then placed the chopsticks in front of him and said, “I’m full, so I haven’t used my chopsticks yet.”

An Zheng frowned, obviously his own disciple did not say anything, but the waiter was still chattering, “All of you are even harder to serve than a f * cking lord, and you even have to eat and drink to your fill of food, and the things you eat are not worth much, a bunch of people working hard for you can’t even earn much money.”

A person dressed in the uniform of a level three disciple should be the leader of the group. The disciples of Heavenly Awakening Sect were divided into seven ranks and the level three disciples was not low. He stood up and said, “When I first talked to you, if you felt that it was fine to not do our business if you didn’t earn money, we wouldn’t have forced you to do so. “Since you’ve accepted this business, why are you acting this way?”

The waiter held onto his waist and said, “What, just this attitude?” I usually get a few tips for serving a table full of guests. Who gave it to me? ”

An Zheng waved his hand, signalling the disciple at the door to come over. The disciple immediately ran over. An Zheng asked in a low voice: “The owner of this shop, Liang Jin, has been here before?”

“Sect Master, Helmsman Liang has been here twice, and he has not spoken to anyone. He seemed to be unwilling to pay any attention to us. He merely gave a few instructions to his shop assistant before leaving. ”

“Yeah, it’s fine now.”

An Zheng nodded.

Although this was not a big deal, as Ning Xiaolou’s old subordinate, it was reasonable that he would resist against An Zheng’s people. However, An Zheng was not the type of person to make his subordinates suffer grievances.

He took out the magic tool he used to contact the important people in the sect, wrote a few words on it, and then put it away. Qu Liuxi could see that his expression was ugly and held his hand.

Not long after, Gu Chaotong hurried over under the protection of a few guards. Seeing that An Zheng was about to speak, An Zheng signaled him to come over without making any noise. Gu Chaotong bent his waist and came over, and asked in a low voice, “What orders does Sect Master have?”

“Did you personally visit this restaurant back then?”

“Subordinate... This subordinate has too many things to do, so I didn’t have the time to come over to take a look. ”

“I don’t blame you. You have so many urgent matters to take care of. If you were to personally take care of such a small matter, it would seem that your subordinates are too useless.” Except, your subordinates are indeed rather useless. But I can guess, although you have never been here before, you should know the place, and you must have made the request. Liang Jin is one of Ning Xiaolou’s old tribe and Ning Xiaolou’s men have never been on good terms with the people of my Heavenly Awakening Sect. Do you plan to use this matter to ease the relationship between the two of them? ”

Gu Chaotong bowed his head, “This subordinate has indeed considered it that way.”

“What did you say?”

“It’s the same for the several shops. No matter how many shifts they have changed, these stores must not close for 24 hours while they are in Martial Arts Conference. We have given them enough money, at least four times as much as their normal flow of water. It was hard work, so I gave it the money. ”

“The money is already given, and we’ve already agreed to not stop for twenty-four hours, right?”

“Yes.”

After An Zheng instructed a few times in a low voice, Gu Chaotong agreed and immediately ran out.

Just then, the innkeeper walked out while rubbing his eyes. As he walked, he said, “Hurry up and eat. It’s almost daybreak.” Do you think this ilace to rest? I just promised to cook for you, and no one wants you to stay. “One group has finished eating, while the other group is still eating. If you give me some money, I can consider letting you sit for a while.”

A few waiters also followed and shouted, “Leave as soon as you’re done eating. This place isn’t your place. How long do you want to sit there?”

“Yeah, we’re not just doing business with you.”

The level three disciple stood up and looked at everyone, apologetically saying, “This matter is my fault. Tomorrow, I won’t be eating at this restaurant, let’s go to another house.”

“Yo, you’re so cocky, aren’t you? I’m begging you to come?”

The shopkeeper snorted: “This shop belongs to your Yancheng’s Branch Lord, Mister Liang. If it wasn’t for Mister Liang’s sake, who would care about you people? “It’s good that you’re not willing to come, but I’m not willing to serve you either.”

“Who are you trying to scare?”

“That’s right, didn’t your Heavenly Awakening Sect have very strict discipline? It’s said that beating up civilians is a very big crime. Come on, you don’t like me being beaten up, right?”

“If I were to report you to the law enforcement authorities of your Heavenly Awakening Sect, I’m afraid even you would not feel well.”

“That’s right. If I ask you to leave politely, then leave. Don’t wait for me to say ‘scram’.”

As An Zheng sat there, Qu Liuxi clearly felt the coldness of An Zheng’s hand that she was holding.

At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard outside. The sound of the footsteps was like muffled thunder that came rolling in from the ground, and even the ground seemed to tremble from the force. The shopkeeper who was cursing and swearing became curious. He walked to the door and looked outside, only to see a densely packed group of Heavenly Awakening Sect’s disciples outside. He could not see the end of the street, and did not know how many people could there be. The disciples of the Heavenly Awakening Sect lined up in an orderly fashion, filling the entire street with people.

“Fuck, what is this?”

He turned around and shouted, “Go and find Mister Liang!”

“There’s no need to look for me, I’m coming.”

Don’t know how he obtained this information, but Liang Jin walked in with a gloomy face. He stood at the entrance, turned around, and said to the Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples that were lining up outside the door: “What do you want to do? The streets are blocked, and the people cannot travel. Is this the rule of your Heavenly Awakening Sect? I am the Branch Lord Liang Jin, disperse! ”

“Your Heavenly Awakening Sect?”

An Zheng coldly asked. Liang Jinlei turned his head abruptly, and the moment he saw An Zheng sitting inside, his face immediately turned deathly white.

“Zong...” Sect Master. ”

An Zheng slowed down his breath and said indifferently: “Nothing much, these are the disciples I sent to maintain the order in the Martial Arts Conference. They have been tired for an entire day and night, and even if they are hungry, they have gotten tired. According to what we previously discussed, your restaurant won’t accept any guests but Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples. You can’t close the door for twenty-four hours.

“Right …”

“Then go and cook. When my people are full, they can rest in your shop.”

An Zheng sat there, his face had already calmed down: “The people of my Heavenly Awakening Sect have rules, we don’t quarrel, and only line up to eat. But there is one thing... It was fine to loserson’s meal, not even a pair of chopsticks. From this moment on, I will do nothing but watch my people eat until the last one is full. ”

The disciple who did not have chopsticks before was standing there with his eyes red.
