Chapter 224 The Gathering Of Cultivators
"Are you sure? This restaurant is the best of the Longyang city?", Zhan Chen looked towards the carriage driver.
"Yes, young master. You have to beleive me. This restaurant may look small but it's cuisine is famous in the entire central land", the carriage driver spoke.
"Oh! Let us try it then. Hear is your spirit stones", Zhan Chen spoke and handed over some spirit stones to the beast carriage driver.
The restaurant was looking ordinary from the outside but the crowded infront of it was testament to its popularity. Zhan Chen threw a curious glance towards the restaurant and led Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min towards the entrance of the restaurant.
"Hey, have you heard? The holy son of the Beast palace is here", a cultivator spoke to his companions.
"That is nothing. Even the renowned beauty of the Luo river sect is eating inside the restaurant", another companion of the cultivator added.
"Really?", all the cultivators in that group turned to look towards their companion who talked about the renowned beauty of the Luo river sect.
Zhan Chen felt slightly interested after hearing the conversation going around him. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min were also feeling curious after hearing all the talks going around them. They followed behind Zhan Chen and entered inside the restaurant whose name they had yet to know.
There were an overcrowd situation in the ground floor. Zhan Chen didn't like the noisy environment. So, he chose to go to the upper floor.
Upper floor was less noisy. Zhan Chen picked up an empty table and signalled the girls to sit around it.
Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min looked around the place after sitting on their chairs. There were all sorts of cultivators eating on the upper floor. They noticed the gazes of the girls and looked back at them.
"Three beauties and a weak looking pretty boy! Senior brother, should I invite the beauties to our table?", a cultivator asked to his companion.
"You may. Tell them that I Wu Kuang wants to see them", the companion of the cultivator spoke arrogantly.
The cultivators around them shook their heads after hearing the conversation of the two cultivators. They felt pity for the new group who had just arrived in the upper floor.
"To think that Wu Kuang would notice them as soon as they arrive. Their luck is really bad", they talked among themselves.
"Young master, something is wrong", Li Shu could somehow perceive the environment after seeing the pitiful look towards them. Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow after seeing a cultivator walking towards their table.
"Good morning beauties, my senior brother wants to see you all. So, you should leave this table and come with me", the cultivator spoke with a lecherous look on his face.
"Who is your senior brother?", Li Yan asked with a cautious look on her face.
"The holy son of the Beast palace", the cultivator replied with a grin on his face. Li Yan felt frightened after hearing the words of the cultivator.
She was no stranger to the name 'Beast palace'. It was one of the super power only inferior to the four mighty sects.
She was just going to look at Zhan Chen when she saw Zhan Chen moving suddenly. It seemed like Zhan Chen didn't do anything. Yet, the body of the cultivator crashed onto the floor of the restaurant at the next moment.
The cultivators present in the restaurant looked at Zhan Chen with astonishment on their faces. The next moment, their attention shifted to Wu Kuang who was looking at the scene with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Bastard, you dare attack someone from my Beast palace", he yelled furiously after few moments. He pushed aside the table and came towards Zhan Chen with a threatening look on his face.
"Young cultivator, stop. This restaurant is not a place where you can fight", a calm voice came out from a seeming far off place. A cautious look appeared on Zhan Chen's face after he heard the voice.
There was no coercive aura. Yet, cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Wu Kuang. "Senior, sorry for my rudeness but what about this pretty brat?", he pointed towards Zhan Chen.
"What about him? Your companion disturbed him first. So, he is free to knock him unconscious", the voice replied.
The voice didn't spoke anything after saying the last sentence but Zhan Chen knew that the formidable cultivator was observing him at this moment.
The gaze of the mighty cultivator remained on him for a while. He could only relax after the mighty cultivator turned away his gaze ffom him.
"Damn it. A pseudo emperor! What is this place?", he thought to himself. A maid came out to take the order after this ficaso ended. Zhan Chen ordered few dishes for everyone and left immediately after finishing his meal. He didn't forget to look towards a certain direction before leaving the upper floor of the restaurant.
"He noticed me", a melodious voice rang out in the private room of the restaurant. There was only a single private room and the cultivators inside were currently talking about Zhan Chen after he left.
There were three cultivators inside the private room. A frail looking old man and two young beauties. Currently, the older one among the two beauties was speaking about Zhan Chen with surprise in her eyes.
"I know. That brat is unusual. I feel he could even sense my presence inside this room", the frail looking old man spoke.
"But that is impossible. You are a late Tribulation realm cultivator. So, young cultivator like us has no way of detecting your presence", the older one among the two beauties spoke.
"Nothing is impossible. Stay away from that brat. He is extremely dangerous", the frail looking old man spoke.
The beauty nodded her head but a thought of curiosity rose in her her head. "Who is he?", she thought to herself.
Zhan Chen took a sigh of relief after coming out from the restaurant. He immediately hired a magical beast carriage and entered it along with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.
'That was extremely dangerous. Who would have thought that a pseudo emperor is looking after this seemingly ordinary restaurant', he thought to himself.
"Zhan Chen, thank you", Li Yan spoke after they boarded the carriage. Zhan Chen looked towards her after seeing the absentminded look on her face.
"What is the matter?", he asked to Li Yan.
"Zhan Chen, tell me honestly. Is their anyone in the restaurant whose cultivation level is lower than me?", she asked Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow after hearing her question. It was a fact that there was none in that restaurant who was weaker than Li Yan but he didn't want to say it loud.
"Zhan Chen, please tell me", Li Yan pleaded to Zhan Chen.
"I will answer you but tell me what are you thinking first", Zhan Chen spoke with a concerned look on his face. Li Yan felt warm in her heart after seeing the concern of Zhan Chen towards her.
"I am not thinking anything but after seeing all the cultivators, I feel I am still weak", Li Yan spoke.
"Then there is no point in your question because you know the answer already. Don't let that give you extra burden", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Yan.
