Chapter 710 - Servicing the Divines and the Demons (2/2)

Who knew that Shen Lian did not play along with him and wrote a message that said that Bai Xiaoyu would not make any money and would even lose every cent that he had in his pocket.

Bai Xiaoyu would have scolded if it was another person who did the reading. But Shen Lian was different. Bai Xiaoyu was a delinquent and most people of the Baijia town looked down on him. Shen Lian was one of the very few people who was patient with him and would entertain his nonsense.

Moreover, Shen Lian may have fallen but his demeanor was very classy. Bai Xiaoyu knew Big Boss Bai, a powerful man who operated the gambling house. But Big Boss Bai's demeanor was nothing like Shen Lian.

It was a satisfying feeling to have someone so patiently hearing you out.

As the day was coming to an end, Bai Xiaoyu smiled, ”I still have nine dollars with me. I will go and find something to do and I'll be back tonight to treat you a meal.”

He kept Shen Lian's reading in his mind and wanted to tease Shen Lian later at night.

Shen Lian smiled, ”I am telling you that you would not have the money to treat me.”

Bai Xiaoyu chuckled, ”Dao Master, you wait for me.” He was not worried that Shen Lian might be provoking him intentionally. He just wanted to have some fun.

He then took off after finishing his words.

Gu Weiwei then came out. With a slight disapproval, she said, ”Why are you dealing with delinquents like that? What if he failed to earn a penny today and decided to take it out on you?”

Shen Lian did not agree with her and said, ”He would not do that.”

Gu Weiwei responded, ”You will understand once it happened.” She was a little annoyed with Shen Lian's attitude. She continued, ”Since you are so idle, why don't you come up with some ideas on how to improve the restaurant's business?”

She was not happy that Shen Lian looked so free for the entire day.

Shen Lian said, ”The people in this town view you as a jinx. No matter how delicious our dishes are, they would still not patronise.”

Gu Weiwei could not help but felt dejected. She then angrily asked, ”So you knew about it? Was it Bai Xiaoyu who told you about it?”

Shen Lian pointed at his ears and said, ”When I move my ears, I can hear everything in a thousand miles, crystal clear. I knew everything about the Baijia Town.”

Gu Weiwei responded, ”Is this the best you can do?”

Shen Lian smiled faintly, ”Apprentice-sister, please don't be angry. This restaurant is not worth your effort. But this is sentimental to you and if you don't detach yourself from it, it would not help your cultivation. That was why I came with an idea that would guarantee the prosperity of the restaurant.”

Gu Weiwei questioned, ”What idea is that?”

Shen Lian responded. ”Mortals are foolish and it is a waste of effort and labour to service them. Let's not operate a normal restaurant.”

Gu Weiwei asked, ”Then what should we do?”

Shen Lian said, ”Let's provide our services to the divines and the demons. They may be detached from the earthy life but they would still eat. Furthermore, these businesses come with great rewards.”
