Chapter 173 The Shop is Completed
After Xu Zhuo finished his opening remarks, he first invited Sang Yunqi and Xuan Ling to mainly explain some information about the new Demon Lord Fan Lou.
After that, Xuan Ling gave a brief explanation about the previous discovery of demonic energy by the demon clan.
Naturally he had not been idle these days since he returned to the demon tribe. He had also found out some clues. After concealing the information that might expose the internal situation of the demon tribe, he did not have anything to hide.
Afterwards, Xu Zhuo briefly talked about some news that came this morning, involving the changes that had occurred in Anmo City, the Gong family, the Ziyang Pavilion and the Tiangang Sect.
Chu Xinglan, who was originally full of energy, became drowsy while sitting in the back. It was not his fault. If he was asked to go out and kill the demons, he would have said so without hesitation. However, he was impatient to listen to such a lengthy meeting while his soul was still drifting in consciousness.
When Xu Zhuo called his name and asked him to talk about his discoveries in the secret realm, he seemed to be finally relieved and quickly told everyone what he had discovered. After Yan Xin and Fuwawa supplemented his information, he said hello to Sang Yunqi and sneaked out through the side door.
I had just sat by the path for a while and breathed a sigh of relief when I heard Song Ling's voice behind me.
"Brother Chu, you are here, it's easy for me to find you."
Chu Xinglan turned around and saw Xun Wenguang, Li Wen, Han Feiyu and others were all there. What surprised him was that Fuwawa and Yan Xin also came with them.
Noticing Chu Xinglan's gaze, Song Ling explained, "These two fellow Taoists said they are your friends. They heard that we came to find you, so they came together."
Chu Xinglan looked at the lucky doll with a proud and calm face, twitched his lips, but didn't say anything.
"Then let's go and find a place to sit."
Han Feiyu came forward and said excitedly, "Zhen Youqian told me yesterday that he has finished decorating the small shop we plan to open. Why don't we go over and take a look?"
Chu Xinglan took a while to figure out what he said and looked at him in surprise.
"Is the decoration ready? Didn't Chen Xiu say that it would only be possible after we win the exchange competition?"
"Hehe, Senior Brother Chen Xiu said so. After dinner that day, he gave Zhen Youqian a note and told him to do it himself."
Chu Xinglan understood and became a little excited: "Then let's go and take a look. I'm really looking forward to it."
No one in the group had any objections, so Han Feiyu sent a message to Zhen Youqian and led them towards the location of the shop.
When they arrived in front of the store, they saw Zhen Youqian waiting to greet them at the door with a dignified look on his face.
It’s not accurate to call it a small shop. It’s more like an independent courtyard with an area of about 300 square meters.
There are peach trees planted in the yard, and the fragrance fills the garden when the wind blows. Small pavilions can be seen everywhere, each of which is small and can seat about three or four people. They are all made of bamboo, and look elegant and fresh.
There is a cobblestone path from the gate of the courtyard leading directly to the front door of the house in the courtyard.
The inside should have been modified by Zhen Youqian as well. Most of it was opened up and used as a living room. The tables and chairs were all wiped clean. The cash register should be on the right side of the door. On the wall at the back were neatly hung rows of wooden signs indicating the types of business.
Behind a cloth curtain with the word "Tea" written on it is the shop's kitchen, where several outer disciples are busy working.
When they saw Zhen Youqian bringing his men over, they all respectfully called him "shopkeeper". After Zhen Youqian waved his hand, they went about their own business.
After the group left, they found a table in the living room and sat down. Chu Xinglan took a quick look and found a staircase in an inconspicuous place on the left. It turned out that there was a second floor.
Zhen Youqian saw his gaze and explained with a smile, "There are always disciples who don't want to be crowded together with others because they think it's noisy, so there are still private rooms. Do you want to go up and take a look, little ancestor?"
Chu Xinglan shook his head. "Let's get some drinks first, and some snacks if there are any."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and looked at Zhen Youqian: "How many kinds can we make now? If there is a menu, let everyone choose for themselves."
Zhen Youqian quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, I have prepared all of these."
As he spoke, he took out a thin bamboo board from behind the counter and handed it to Chu Xinglan. Chu Xinglan glanced at it casually and became more satisfied with Zhen Youqian's ability, so he pushed it in front of Yan Xin.
"Just look at what you want and order whatever you want."
After all, she is a guest and a girl, so she can still enjoy some privileges.
Yan Xin had visited many restaurants and teahouses, but had never seen a place like this. He had been very curious along the way, so he didn't hesitate to take a closer look.
But she soon became confused and pointed to a place on the menu and asked, "What is this peach blossom coconut? One cup costs five low-grade spirit stones?"
Zhen Youqian explained enthusiastically, "This is a milk tea creation provided by my little ancestor. It has fresh peach blossoms and coconut flesh in it."
"I need five low-grade spirit stones because all the ingredients here are nourished by spiritual energy, and the tea leaves are also spiritual tea, which is also the specialty of our shop."
Yan Xin nodded, not quite understanding: "Then I'll take this one."
After saying that, he pushed the menu to the lucky doll beside him. Fu doll ordered a cup of fruit tea. When he was outside, he still had to be careful to abstain from meat and did not drink milk.
Everyone else also ordered a cup that they seemed to like better, and finally passed it back to Chu Xinglan, who added a few more snacks.
After Zhen Youqian wrote it down, he went to the kitchen to prepare it.
Yan Xin then looked at Chu Xinglan curiously: "You opened this store? How interesting."
"Yeah, I just do it for fun. It's a place to sit and have a drink with friends when I'm free."
Chu Xinglan didn't intend to introduce more, but asked.
"Are you two okay? Have you asked the elders at home to check carefully?"
Fuwawa continued, "Uncle Wuxin has checked it for me. It's just some flesh wounds. Some of his spiritual energy has been drained away. He's a little weak. He'll be fine after some nourishment."
Yan Xin also nodded and said, "Thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, all ten of us would have died."
Even when they think about it now, they are still frightened. They are a group of disciples who have never experienced any storms. This is the first time they face such a sinister formation and the demons. It is amazing that they did not become weak in fear and could muster up the courage to resist.
Song Ling and the others were not quite sure what had happened at that time, and couldn't help but interrupt and ask.
"What's going on? I was completely confused by what I heard in the hall just now."
Yan Xin glanced at him and naturally knew that he was a disciple of Mu Chen from Danding Peak, so she patiently explained it to him.
Han Feiyu and the others were amazed when they heard this, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't catch up.
After they talked for a while, Zhen Youqian came out from the kitchen holding a tray. On the tray were the drinks they had just ordered.
Yan Xin looked at the pink color in the cup in front of her and couldn't wait to take a sip. Her eyes lit up instantly.
