Chapter 321: At His Beck and Call (2/2)
”I am currently about to dine with my family,” he said apologetically, ”I am going to consider who to work with afterward.”
Murong Jing was not too depressed because of it. He had known that Xue Wei couldn't accept his sudden invitation. But this did not mean it was the end of it.
”Can I perhaps get a moment of your time later?” Murong Jing asked. ”I would like to discuss the possibility of working together on concocting a two-colored rainbow pill.”
Xue Wei considered the options, and then he nodded his head. This Murong family were not humble as such, but they were not arrogant either. They were treating him with respect as they would someone of equal status.
It has to be said that this Murong Jing was an Earth Saint, someone who was not straightforward and his strength was much higher than Xue Wei, so he did not have to treat him with such respect, but because of his alchemist status, he had suddenly become a much more magnificent person.
Seeing the way that Murong Jing was treating Xue Wei, the waiter was pale and uncomfortable. He had never expected that Xue Wei would have such a distinguished personality that he had managed to cause even this high ranked expert to be respectful.
The waiter suddenly started to regret his actions. He started to fear that he had made an unsalvageable mistake, and his hands clenched tightly as they trembled.
For a moment, he started to feel guilty for his previous favoritism, and that he had been so stuck up and had caused problems to Xue Wei.
Xue Wei, on the other hand, was not willing to forgive him for his actions. He was not interested in forgiving him.
Today was supposed to be a good day. Today was supposed to be a day where he was happy and celebrating with his family, but this annoying person had destroyed the mood.
Sensing that something was not right, Murong Jing looked from the hostile eyes of Xue Wei towards the panicked waiter. He could instantly guess what was going on.
”Old Man Bai come out here!” Murong Jing suddenly yelled, his voice was infused with Qi, and it reverberated through the entire Treasure City.
Silence descended over the entire city; everyone held their breath as they wondered what had happened. Everyone close by looked at Murong Jing with trepidation.
Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise, but he did not say anything and just crossed his arms over his chest.
At that moment a beam of light came shooting out from the inner regions of Treasure City, rushing towards the restaurant, and when it arrived, it stopped right in front of Murong Bai.
”What's wrong Master Murong?” the person who appeared asked. He was an elderly man, he seemed to be around eighty years old, and he had a long white beard alongside long white hair. He was dressed in white robes with a cloud pattern on the fabric.
Xue Wei looked at him and instantly knew that this man was the owner of the restaurant.
”Old Man Bai, you taught outstanding waiters!” Murong Bai snorted when he looked at the man without sparing his face in the slightest.
”Not only do they want to score a lot of essence stones in tips, but they also started to coerce and threaten others into parting with large quantities of essence stones!”
Murong Bai was not sure of how many essence stones they had needed, neither did he know what exactly had happened, but he could guess the gist of it and dared speak as such.
The man referred to as Old Man Bai had his face turn dark, and he glanced a the waiter before he looked back at Murong Jing.
Old Man Bai was an Ordinary Saint. Although he was considered a dragon amongst men, he was not Murong Jing's opponent.
He knew that his waiters and waitresses could be a bit brazen from time to time, but they were good at checking everyone who they could afford to offend and who they could not.
To think that they had somehow managed to offend Murong Jing, made Old Man Bai curse beneath his breath as he shot a hate-filled glare towards the waiter.
”Master Murong, could it perhaps be a mistake?” Old Man Bai was already aware of exactly what had happened, but as the crowd was increasing, he could never admit to having silently approved of his servants suppressing the more unfortunate customers.
”Who is this young master?” Old Man Bai tried to change the subject. He looked at Xue Wei with narrowed eyes, a bit of killing intent was hidden deep within these eyes.
He could guess that it was Xue Wei who had caused Murong Jing to turn against him suddenly, and it was causing him to feel rage.
Xue Wei was able to catch this slight killing intent, and his eyes turned cold as they narrowed.
He knew he was not the opponent of Old Man Bai, but he was not willing to become a fish on the chopping block either.
”Old Man Bai, this is Young Master Xue, an outstanding two-colored Rainbow Alchemist,” Murong Jing instantly introduced Xue Wei. It was not something he asked for permission for first but did because he knew that this layer of protection would be able to make people hesitate about insulting him.
Rightfully so, when Old Man Bai and the waiter heard that the man they had insulted was a two-colored Rainbow Alchemist, both of their faces paled, and their eyes widened in shock and fear.
Although his strength was not outstanding, if they considered his status, every person on Treasure Island would be at his beck and call for the sake of befriending him. If they could convince him to make two-colored rainbow pills, every major family on Treasure Island would risk their lives to fight for him.
