Chapter 342: Chapter 44 Hosting a Dinner Party
Soon after, Lin Jing entered the Immortal Abode together with Yan Wanfei.
It was only upon entering the Immortal Abode that Lin Jing realized its interior was truly spacious.
As they walked in, they were greeted by an exceedingly wide hall, with two rows of beautiful female cultivators standing on both sides of the entrance.
In the middle of the hall, there was a beautifully decorated set of stairs leading to the second floor, while the space behind the stairs was split into two rows of private rooms.
“Welcome to the Immortal Abode, esteemed seniors.”
As soon as they entered, a female cultivator came forward to greet them.
This Immortal Abode, as the largest restaurant in Bihai City, indeed lived up to its reputation—even the cultivator who came to greet them was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The female cultivator came forward and asked Lin Jing and his companion:
“May I know how many are in your party, sirs, and if you have a reservation?”
Yan Wanfei spoke up promptly:
“Our friends are already inside, just lead us to them will you.”
After hearing this, the female cultivator replied:
“Very well, senior.”
“This way, please…”
With that, the attendant gestured with her hand, leading the two men upstairs.
They followed the female cultivator to the third floor.
Upon reaching the third floor, they immediately saw Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers.
“Lin Daoyou…”
“Niu San…”
As it turned out, the two were waiting for them at the entrance to the third floor.
After the two ascended to the third floor, the female cultivator departed.
Then, Lin Jing and his company followed Lu Youjiu and the others around the front hall of the third floor and walked together towards the private rooms inside.
Before even entering the private room, Lin Jing saw a table full of delicacies already neatly arranged on the table, yet veiled by a layer of light screen.
The group subsequently walked into the private room.
As soon as the door was closed, a formation immediately isolated the entire room.
Not the slightest sound from outside could penetrate into the room.
This was also a soundproof formation.
The Immortal Abode really did a good job, even installing a soundproof formation inside the private rooms.
After everyone took their seats, the light screen on the table dissipated, and the aroma of the dishes wafted directly to their noses.
Looking at Yan Wanfei, his eyes shone as he eyed the delicious fare on the table, his mouth almost watering.
“It’s rare for San He to be so generous; I haven’t had the Immortal Abode’s dishes for a long time.”
Having said that, Yan Wanfei turned to look at Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers, rubbing his hands and saying:
“Bro Lu, San He, when do we start, eh? I’m about to drool to death here…”
Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers turned to look at Yan Wanfei with a look of dismay on their faces.
“Eat, let’s eat now…”
Having said that, Lu Youjiu addressed Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, please try the Immortal Abode’s delicacies first, we’ll talk about everything else later.”
“Sure,” Lin Jing nodded.
Hearing this, Yan Wanfei was naturally the happiest one there.
Perhaps it was because they were friends who got along well, or it might just be his nature.
Yan Wanfei, not holding back, immediately started to eat heartily as soon as he sat down.
Whereas Lin Jing and the others, after a round of pleasantries, began to savor the food delicately.
……
It wasn’t until half an hour had passed and everyone had eaten their fill that they began to converse.
Lu Youjiu took the lead, saying:
“Lin Daoyou, actually, this meal is to apologize to you for what happened today.”
“It seems, though, that Niu San here has spoiled the atmosphere.”
After saying this.
He glanced at Yan Wanfei and shook his head ruefully.
At that moment, Yan Wanfei, who was still stuffing chunks of meat into his mouth, looked up puzzled at Lu Youjiu:
“Apologize, for what exactly…?”
What he got in return, however, was a threatening look from Lu Youjiu.
“Eat your food and cut the chatter.”
“Oh…” With that, Yan Wanfei quickly bowed his head and continued to enjoy his feast.
Lin Jing turned to Holaw Three Rivers, saying:
“If this is about the incident today, there’s really no need. It was indeed improper for me to be there while you were discussing important matters.”
But Holaw Three Rivers replied:
“It’s normal for you to step aside while we three discussed important matters.”
“However, you’re a friend brought over by Lu Youjiu and Niu San. If we failed to show proper hospitality, then it was our fault.”
“Therefore, we absolutely must treat you to this meal.”
At this point, Yan Wanfei raised his head again, addressing everyone:
“Alright, San He’s right…”
“Brother Lin, don’t take it to heart. I’m not one to overthink things. If I think someone is worth befriending, I’ll bring them back.”
“In fact, I’m partly to blame too. I should apologize for allowing you to end up outside when you first arrived.”
Having said this, Yan Wanfei pointed to the table where plenty of fine food remained and offered to Lin Jing:
“How about, you eat a bit more?”
Yan Wanfei’s words left Lin Jing not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“What do you mean ended up outside?”
“Also, eat a bit more…”
……
Lin Jing finally understood Lu Youjiu’s predicament. He now felt like giving Niu San a beating.
