Chapter 1042: An Elegant Playboy
The restaurant’s decoration was simple, but it was still elegant. The tables and chairs were clean and spotless. With the meddling of Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang, business had not been very good. Although it was dinner time, there were not many customers, which only made the atmosphere even quieter.
Feng Zijin was also familiar with the shopkeeper. He chose two tables by the window upstairs and ordered special dishes of Qianzhong Ridge, which was very different from other places.
Ling Chuxi and the others were tired after a day of travelling. They didn’t stand on ceremony and began to eat as soon as the dishes were served.
Just as Ling Chuxi and the others started to eat, the voices of two people came from the door.
“Young Master Zhang, this is our Zheng family’s Hui Xiang Restaurant. Business may seem slow now but in the past, you wouldn’t even be able to find an empty seat at this time.” A middle-aged man accompanied a young man into the restaurant, a group of attendants followed behind him.
“Oh, I’ve heard of Hui Xiang Restaurant before. I heard that this is the best restaurant in Dan Ling Town. It’s a little shabby, but it’s already not bad to have such a restaurant in such a small place.” The young man looked around as he went upstairs.
“That’s right, that’s right. How can a small place like Dan Ling town compare to Kai Yuan City? Our Zheng family is only a small family clan. How can we compare to a big family clan like Young Master Zhang’s?” The middle-aged man had an apologetic smile.
“That’s true. Our Zhang family had once come from a sect. It’s not something any ordinary family clan can compare to,” said the young man proudly.
“That’s right, that’s right.” The middle-aged man smiled apologetically again, but there was a slight disdain in the corners of his eyes. ‘Hmph, who wasn’t from a sect in Qianzhong Ridge? They either had been kicked out because of the crimes they had committed, chased out due to their weakness, or because their sect had been destroyed. Why would anyone be proud of such a history? It seems that only the Zhang family would have the shamelessness to use this to show off.
“In the future, you can be considered as my Zhang family’s subordinates. If you ever find yourself in trouble, just say our name. Not to mention the Qianzhong Ridge, even those sects outside wouldn’t dare to easily offend our Zhang family.” The young man continued to boast.
“Then we’ll have to rely on Young Master Zhang to take care of us in the future,” said the middle-aged man.
“Why speak like you’re an outsider? Since you already belong to our Zhang family, we naturally have to take care of you,” said the young man indifferently.
As they spoke, the two of them had already gone upstairs.
“He’s Zhang Yuhong. The person beside him is Zheng Zhijun, the clan head of the Zheng family,” said Feng Zijin to Ling Chuxi, though the former had a hint of anger brewing in his eyes. When enemies met, their eyes were especially red.
Ling Chuxi and the others had already heard their conversation. Even if he didn’t say anything, they could guess the identity of the person who came. They had mentioned him before, but they didn’t expect to meet him so soon.
However, when they saw Zhang Yuhong, they were slightly surprised.
This person had red lips, white teeth, and a jade-like face with long eyebrows and bright eyes. His well-proportioned body was dressed in a white robe that was as elegant as snow, and there was a crystal-clear green jade pendant hanging on his waist. Rather than vulgar, he looked quite elegant. There was even a hint of reserved pride that was unique to sect disciples when he talked and laughed.
When they were told about him previously, they had already expected him to be hedonistic. After all, it was typical of sect disciples of high-ranking families. But this was the first time they had seen such a good-looking hedonistic person. In the ordinary world, he would have been a tall, rich, and handsome man.
