The constables dispersed and took their seats. Guard Captain Wei wasn’t exaggerating when he said a lot of people would be coining; the tables were almost full.
Rudder Master sat in the middle, surrounded by constables. The atmosphere was very congenial; it was as if the righteous and the demonic were one and the same family.
Chi Xulong was so scared that he immediately lowered his head. Despite the reputation he had built outside for being arrogant, he always disguised himself or avoided revealing his face when he was up to mischief. Whenever he encountered people from the government office, he would stay as far away as possible.
Now that he couldn’t hide, he could only choose to put his head in the sand.
“Guard Captain Wei, I’m here.” Lu Yang got up and greeted Guard Captain Wei with a smile.
Chi Xulong’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lu Yang, so it was you who is the boss all along!
“You guys have already started eating.” Guard Captain Wei looked a bit embarrassed.
“No problem, what are you guys having?”
Guard Captain Wei waved his hand, “With so many people here, let’s not be picky. Bring out anything you have.”
“Alright.” Lu Yang agreed, figuring that this was what Guard Captain Wei had in mind.
The constables at Rudder Master’s table could smell the delicious food, and they instinctively swallowed.
It was dinner time and they were already hungry. The smell of the food made them even hungrier.
Fortunately, Lu Yang was prepared. Even before Guard Captain Wei and the others arrived, he had the Ghoul turn up the heat and start grilling some of the food. As soon as the people arrived, he served the food straight away. freewebnøvel.com
Soon, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu bought up plate after plate of grilled skewers, to fill up Guard Captain Wei and the others’ stomachs.
Guard Captain Wei didn’t say anything, but he was grateful to Lu Yang in his heart. Otherwise, waiting for so long while smelling the tantalizing aroma would surely invite complaints from his colleagues.
“Let me introduce, our Chief Constable, Fang Qingyun!”
Fang Qingyun politely shook hands with Lu Yang. Being a cultivator in the Golden Core stage, he could tell that Lu Yang was a cultivator.
Not only could he tell that Lu Yang was a cultivator, but Fang Qingyun also noticed that everyone at Rudder Master’s table were cultivators too.
He didn’t say anything, since many cultivators run businesses. As long as one does not violate the law, what does it have to do with him?
There is no law against running a barbecue restaurant.
Even if his table was occupied, as a Chief Constable, he could not abuse his power. If word gets out, it wouldn’t look good.
After Lu Yang sat down laughing, Chi Xulong whisperingly cursed and accused him to the Rudder master, “You despicable jerk, why didn’t you say the constables were coming?!”
Lu Yang responded with a sense of wronged: “I just wanted you guys to establish a good relationship with the constables. You should seize this opportunity.”
Lu Yang pointed to the framed banner on the wall: “See that? This is the banner that Guard Captain Wei gave to me.”
He casually fabricated a story: “Before I joined the organization, I staged a good position and built up relations with the government office. This way, no matter what I do, the government office will never suspect me. And on top of that, I can even steal some information whenever they come here for a drink.”
Rudder Master Chu nodded. Lu Yang’s explanation was well reasoned and aligned with the Master’s evaluation of him.
The Master said that these three guys might appear to mess around, but they actually have deeper intentions. Their actions should not simply be taken at face value.
Just by proactively establishing a relationship with the government, one displays a boldness and imagination that surpasses most people in the sect!
“Come on, drink.”
After eating a few skewers to fill their stomachs, Guard Captain Wei and the others started drinking.
With more and more skewers going down, the constables started to liven up, drinking round after round in high spirits; it was very lively.
In stark contrast to the lively surroundings, Rudder Master’s table in the center was extremely cautious, as if they were afraid their cover would be blown if someone drank too much.
By the end, they even switched from wine to tea.
Seeing that Rudder Master’s table wasn’t lively, Guard Captain Wei felt guilty, perhaps it was due to his arrival. He decided to pick up his wine cup and head over.
“Come on, come on, don’t mind us. Once we’re off duty we’re just common folk. We come to a barbecue shop just like everyone else – to eat, drink and be merry!”
“Come on, let’s drink a round!” Guard Captain Wei said to Chi Xulong.
Chi Xulong carefully raised his tea cup. Seeing this, Guard Captain Wei looked displeased. He scowled and said: “What’s this about drinking tea? Aren’t you showing a lack of respect? Bring the wine!”
Chi Xulong had no choice, but to swallow his pride and down the thirty-year- old Spirit Wine he had brought himself, in a single gulp.
Seeing Guard Captain Wei drink round for round, the other constables, clearly well liquored up, followed suit, thoroughly enjoying their drinks with the Rudder Master at his table.
No one looked to drink with Lu Yang and his crew. The boss couldn’t possibly take more alcohol.
The strength of the thirty-year-old Spirit Wine was more than one could process at the Foundation Establishment Stage; Chi Xulong and his team were all quite tipsy.
Seeing that everyone was well drunk, the Rudder Master excused himself and left.
With the big boss gone, under the influence of alcohol, people started to loosen up. Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi, arm in arm, were determined to unite and make a name for themselves in the Eternity Sect.
“The biggest weakness with you, Chi Xulong, is that you’re too impulsive and outspoken. You should rein yourself in a bit!” Shen Jinyi advised Chi Xulong.
Chi Xulong was displeased. He was naturally free-spirited and didn’t like to be criticized, “Oh, please! So, I’m outspoken and impulsive. You’d prefer I shrink back like a frightened turtle? Too afraid to make a move and just hide behind an army of students to do my bidding?”
“You’re skulking around like some scared woman!”
Shen Jinyi erupted in anger, “Chi Xulong, don’t take my kindness for granted!
I’m trying to look out for you, don’t you dare turn on me!”
Chi Xulong was even more furious, “Who are you calling a dog!”
With that, he landed a punch on Shen Jinyi’s face.
Shen Jinyi was someone who wouldn’t take it lying down; if he swallowed his pride now, the impulsive Chi Xulong would inevitably push him further.
Shen Jinyi picked up his wine cup and threw it at Chi Xulong. Despite being drunk, Chi Xulong’s reaction was still sharp, he dodged and the wine ended up on Bai Zifang’s face, who was enjoying the spectacle.
Bai Zifang was not someone easy to get along with either, he retorted in kind, splashing wine all over Shen Jinyi and even smashing a plate on his face.
The three of them tumbled around in a brawl. The others tried to intervene, but ended up getting caught in the crossfire, making them seethe with anger.
“We’re trying to prevent you guys from making fools of yourselves, if you don’t appreciate it at least don’t hit back!”
“Blowhard!”
The Spirit Wine was so strong, and everyone was a bit off their heads. They didn’t care if it was a crowd of constables around, everyone started throwing punches.
Crash…
Someone had knocked over the table, and everything ended up on the table next to them.
The constables had never seen such audacious cultivators starting a brawl in public.
Even they were right there. If they had been absent, who knows what could have ensued.
Public brawling among cultivators was an extremely serious offence—it could easily result in harm to the onlooking crowds. Harsh punishment was necessary!
Seeing the chaos, the chief constable, Fang Qingyun, released his imposing aura, immediately subduing the unruly members of the demonic sect.
“Take them away, let them sober up in the jail!” he commanded.
At this, the demonic sect members snapped out of their haze. Realizing what had happened, they broke out in a cold sweat.
So many people had come this time that the two Ghouls were so busy managing, they even started creating illusions. Seeing this, Man Gu kicked into action. Meanwhile, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were bustling back and forth between the backyard and the hall, serving grilled skewers at an astonishing rate.
Lu Yang pulled back the door curtain and apologized, “I’m sorry everyone, we’re all out of grilled… what’s going on here?”
Lu Yang saw that the usually arrogant sect members were being uncharacteristically quiet, with the constables coldly eying them.
Guard Captain Wei murmured: “Apologies, Mr. Little Lu. Your friends were fighting in public. Chief constable dislikes cultivators behaving this way. The disruption was too noticeable, people around were starting to take notice. Punishment is unavoidable.”
Lu Yang, “…”
In fairness, Lu Yang’s attempt to mix the sect members and the constables at one table was, admittedly, an attempt to stir things up, but he’d definitely not expected them to be audacious enough to start a fight in front of constables.
Meng Jingzhou scoffed, “I told you, didn’t I? We shouldn’t have been drinking. Nothing good ever comes out of it.”
On the day of the welcome party, Chi Xulong and the others were detained for ten days for public brawling.
Upon hearing this, Master Chu was in a daze for quite some time.
