Chapter 372: Clear Phoenix Restaurant

The news of the death of the demon City Lord spread throughout the entire city in just half a day. From the high officials and n.o.bles, all the major forces, and all the bystanders on the streets.

Even though the news had spread for several days, it did not affect the peoples heated debate.

Tsk, I didnt expect the City Lord to be the demon. He fooled us so badly! He almost wronged a good man like Lin Bai.

Exactly. At that time, some people suspected that Lin Bai was the innocent one. In the end, everyone chose to believe him.

Also, I heard that there is a secret room under the City Lords estate... There is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. All of them were used by that devil to practice his demonic arts!

This kind of news is ancient history! I heard that... the hero who killed the City Lord came from our city. It seems that...

Lin Bai wandered through the streets and alleys, listening to the discussions of the people. It was a different feeling.

This, everyone knows that you, Lin Bai, are innocent. You successfully pushed the City Lord back... but no one recognized you.

The thin man and Lin Bai walked side by side, followed by the fat man who was holding a chicken leg in one hand and a duck leg in the other.

Its only because you dont know me that I can be so relaxed. Lin Bai chuckled.

Sigh, if it were me, I would wish that everyone in the city would recognize me. At that time, there would definitely be some young ladies...

The thin man thought about it, and in the end, he could not help but swallow his saliva.

......

Actually, the thin man knew very well that even if the entire city could not recognize him, it would not affect the fact that some people would come to Lin Bai to propose marriage.

And these people who came to Lin Bai to propose marriage and discuss marriage were about to break through the threshold of the Bai Xi family. However, all of them were rejected by Lin Bai. He didnt even take a look at them.

Hey!

After Fatty heard it, he chewed on the duck meat, savoured it carefully, and swallowed it. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and his face was full of disdain:

You want those young ladies to come and look for you? Wake up, its not even night yet!

Fatty did not hold back when he ridiculed him. A few days ago, before he had fully recovered, the thin man had wandered around all sorts of places. He had good wine and good food, and every time, he would show off in front of Fatty.

One could imagine the resentment in Fattys heart.

Youre talking about me, you...

The thin man did not have any virtue in his words, and the two of them started arguing again.

While the thin man and Fatty were arguing, Lin Bai stopped in front of a luxurious and antique restaurant.

The waiter in front of the restaurant had sharp eyes. He smiled and came over, complimenting Lin Bai.

You must be Master Lin Bai. The private room is ready. This way, please!

The waiter bent down slightly, put his fingers together, and pointed to the restaurant.

Lin Bai nodded slightly and walked into the restaurant.

As soon as he stepped into the first floor of the restaurant, a light sandalwood fragrance came from the shop, which made people want to eat.

There were many people in the restaurant, but it was not noisy. Occasionally, there would be a few handmaidens with graceful figures carrying drinks and food as they walked past. Their graceful steps made one unable to take their eyes off them.

Tsk... This kind of tavern is awesome!

The thin man wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, his eyes wandering around.

Look at you!

The fat man kicked the thin mans calf, and only then did the thin man regain his senses. He followed Lin Bai from the east stairway all the way to the fifth floor.

Every floor of the tavern was decorated more luxuriously, and the sounds were quieter. The maids were also more beautiful..,

When they arrived at the fifth floor.

On the right was a corridor. There was a hole on the outside of the corridor, and they could enjoy the intoxicating river scenery in the distance. On the left side of the corridor were private rooms.

This is it.

The waiter walked in front of them and carefully opened the door of one of the private rooms.

Then I wont disturb you!

After Lin Bai and the other two entered the private room, the waiter tactfully left.

This was also the rule of their restaurant.

Above the third floor of the restaurant, the waiter only needed to bring the guests to their seats before he had to leave. He had to do it in such a way that they could not see, hear, and smell

And if any servant dared to break this rule, the outcome would not be so good.

This was also one of the reasons why the Clear Phoenix Restaurant was able to do it. Everyone in the city knew that high-ranking officials and n.o.bles, as well as the higher-ups of various forces, had to come to this place.

In the private room.

An old man with white hair and a white beard sat there. Lin Bai was very familiar with this old man.

Beside the old man sat a young man with a tall and straight figure. He was well-dressed and held a folding fan in his hand. The corners of his mouth had always been smiling.

When the two of them saw Lin Bai walking over, their faces raised into joyful smiles as they asked,

Young master Lin, youre finally here. Weve been waiting for you here for too long.

The old man was the Grand Elder of the Alchemist a.s.sociation.

At this moment, he no longer had the aggressive look he had when he met Lin Bai a few times. He wanted to take Lin Bais life at the slightest disagreement.

The young man carefully put down the folding fan, cupped his fists, and said respectfully,

Ive long heard that Young Master Lin is a talented man with extraordinary bearing... Meeting you today is truly an honor for three lifetimes! I, Chu Changfeng of the Alchemist a.s.sociation, would like to ask for young master Lins guidance in the future.

A faint smile hung on the corner of the young mans mouth, but his clear eyes were constantly sizing up Lin Bai. Under those black pupils, it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Lin Bai said a few polite words and sat opposite the two of them. The thin man and the fat man sat on his left and right respectively.

The three of them had just sat down when there was a knock on the door from outside the private room. Dang dang dang! It happened to be three knocks.

Lin Bai subconsciously looked back.

Come in!

The Great Elder of the Alchemy a.s.sociation said softly with an indifferent expression.

With a creak, the door of the private room was pushed open. Three young girls dressed in cool clothes, with delicate features, and upright appearance walked in. They carried fragrant dishes and carefully placed them on the table.

Lin Bai frowned. He found that these young girls walked like cats. They did not make a single sound when they carried or placed the dishes.

Fatty did not notice this at all. His eyes followed the girls and did not move away for a moment.

The thin man used his eyes to remind Fatty a few times, but fatty did not notice it at all. The thin man had no choice but to kick Fatty under the table.

Fatty first revealed an angry expression. When he regained his consciousness, he was filled with embarra.s.sment. He lowered his fat head and did not say a word.

After the maids had placed the dishes, they left without saying a word.

The great elder noticed Lin Bais expression and explained,

This is one of the characteristics of the Clear Phoenix Restaurant... These maids are all cultivators who specialize in cultivation techniques. There are also people who specialize in teaching them.

I see!

Lin Bai nodded in realization. He picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip.

Good wine!

Lin Bai couldnt help but take another sip.

Chu Changfeng also picked up the wine and took a sip. A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he stared at Lin Bai:

Master Lin, I like to get straight to the point. I hope you can forgive me. But if my guess is correct, then the demon City Lord must have been killed by you, right?
