Chapter 28 Oh? So it was you.
Ye Xiaobai planned to travel to the Lianhuan Pool in the White Mist Mountains and considered traveling with companions. Upon reflection, he realized he didn't know many fellow disciples.
It's said that Li Xinyan entered the inner sect some time ago. I'm not familiar with the inner sect, so it's not convenient for me to ask Li Xinyan for help right now.
Looking back, it seems the only option is to find Niu Dazhuang. Niu Dazhuang had previously said that he would treat Ye Xiaobai to a meal once he made money from hunting demonic beasts, but Ye Xiaobai has yet to receive it. It seems that hunting demonic beasts really doesn't earn much spirit stone.
Soon, Ye Xiaobai arrived outside Niu Dazhuang's cave and shouted, "Brother Dazhuang, are you there?"
"Who is it?" A familiar voice was heard, and then Niu Dazhuang emerged from the cave. Looking up and seeing Ye Xiaobai, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh, it's Xiaobai. What brings you here?"
"Come see your good brother, what, you don't want to?" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
"No, no, why don't you come in and have a seat?"
"No need, I came here today to ask for your help. Let's go to Xiaoyao Restaurant for a nice meal tonight!" Ye Xiaobai didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
"Then let's go!"
Not long after, Ye Xiaobai and Niu Dazhuang arrived at Xiaoyao Restaurant. The original Xiaoyao Restaurant has now expanded several times over. It didn't even have a decent private room before, but now it has many beautifully decorated private rooms, and most of them need to be booked in advance.
As soon as Ye Xiaobai entered, he immediately asked, "Are there any private rooms left?"
The new waiter didn't recognize Ye Xiaobai. Looking at the two ordinary-looking disciples of the White Tiger Sect, he didn't care and said dismissively, "That's all. Even if we did, could you afford the spirit stones?"
"You!" Ye Xiaobai was speechless, then said, "Call your manager and he will arrange a private room for me."
The waiter chuckled and said, "Our manager is very busy and doesn't have time to see you!"
"You can also call your Chef Sun over."
"There are several chefs with the surname Sun. Who are you looking for?" the waiter replied somewhat impatiently.
"Sun Tiexin, Chef Sun!" Ye Xiaobai was so angry that he had no choice but to raise his voice.
"Chef Sun Tiexin has gone to a branch store to train new employees and is not here."
Ye Xiaobai was in an awkward situation. He hadn't been to Xiaoyao Restaurant for a while, and none of the familiar faces were there. He couldn't find a quiet private room for the time being.
Seeing Ye Xiaobai's awkward situation, Niu Dazhuang immediately said, "Xiaobai, why don't we just forget about the private room and find a place to sit in the lobby?"
Ye Xiaobai had no choice. He had hoped to find a quiet place to eat by leveraging his status as a partner at Xiaoyao Restaurant, but none of his acquaintances were there, and he was about to give up.
Just then, a young man dressed in a magnificent robe walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Xiaobai looked at the young man and felt that he looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.
The waiter said, "He wants a private room, but we don't have one right now. He insists on asking Chef Sun to arrange one for him."
The elegantly dressed young man turned to look at Ye Xiaobai, was startled at first, then turned to the waiter and angrily scolded, "You blind bastard, you don't even know Chef Ye? You can quit your job, just take your wages for this month and leave!"
The waiter immediately realized he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground with a thud, grabbing the young man's trouser leg and crying, "Manager Lin, I was blind to your greatness, I won't dare to do it again, please let me go!"
"Men, throw him out of here!" the young man roared.
Several burly men quickly arrived and dragged the waiter out.
After finishing, the young man immediately smiled and said to Ye Xiaobai, "Chef Ye, I'm sorry, Xiaoyao Restaurant has been developing too fast recently, so we've hired a lot of new staff. The service hasn't been as good as it could have been. Please forgive us."
"What's your name again, Lin something?" Ye Xiaobai heard the waiter call him Manager Lin, but he still couldn't remember what the young man's name was for the time being.
"I am Lin Qingtian, Xiao Lin. When we were eating together, I specifically asked the shopkeeper for the leftover bones for my golden retriever!"
"Oh, Xiaolin! It's you. How's your golden retriever doing lately?" Ye Xiaobai finally remembered that before the restaurant opened, everyone at Xiaoyao Restaurant had a meal together. After the meal, a waiter named Xiaolin asked for the leftover bones for his golden retriever. There were quite a few people there, and Ye Xiaobai hadn't remembered everyone's names.
"Thanks to Chef Ye, my little golden retriever is getting more and more energetic!" Lin Qingtian said excitedly.
"That's good." Ye Xiaobai chatted for a few more minutes. Only then did he learn that with the development of Xiaoyao Restaurant, the ordinary waiters back then were now junior managers at the main branch, which filled him with emotion.
Thanks to Xiaolin's arrangement, Ye Xiaobai and Niu Dazhuang finally had a private room where they could eat in peace.
"Xiao Bai, I heard you didn't dare to set up a stall before and instead opened a restaurant with someone. Does this mean you have a share in Xiaoyao Restaurant?" Niu Dazhuang asked curiously while stuffing food into his mouth.
"More or less," Ye Xiaobai said casually.
Niu Dazhuang was shocked to hear this. He coughed several times and almost choked. He quickly drank a few mouthfuls of wine to calm himself down.
After catching his breath, Niu Dazhuang continued, "Xiao Bai, you're too awesome! Now that you've made a fortune, aren't you going to help your little brother out?"
Ye Xiaobai quickly explained, "I was too busy before, I didn't expect that if you need it now, I can talk to Manager Li here and arrange something for you."
Niu Dazhuang immediately interrupted, "Hey, Xiaobai, I was just joking. Although I don't earn much from hunting monsters, it improves my combat skills."
Ye Xiaobai didn't press the matter, and could only say, "Brother Dazhuang, you can always come if you need anything in the future."
"We'll talk about that later. By the way, Xiaobai, you treated me to a meal today, wasn't there something you wanted to discuss?"
Ye Xiaobai immediately got back to the main topic: "When I broke through before, my meridians were damaged. Although the immortal doctor was able to cure it, he needed a Dragon Tongue Grass as a consultation fee. The Dragon Tongue Grass grows in the Lianhuan Pool of the White Mist Mountain Range, which is located deep in the White Mist Mountain Range and may have many demonic beasts. That's why I wanted to ask you for help."
"Xiaobai, are you feeling alright?" Niu Dazhuang asked, first showing concern for Ye Xiaobai's health.
"That divine physician has temporarily suppressed my condition, and there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. If you have something to do tomorrow, I can go alone without any problem."
Niu Dazhuang immediately said, "Xiaobai, you're being too polite. I'm free tomorrow, but I'll come with you even if I have to!"
"Thanks, brother! Let's have a drink!" Ye Xiaobai said happily.
"cheers!"
After a satisfying meal, Ye Xiaobai and Niu Dazhuang went home.
Ye Xiaobai returned to his cave and began preparing for his trip the next day. After finishing, he cultivated for a while. This time, Ye Xiaobai dared not take pills casually. Considering his own safety, he decided he needed to learn alchemy himself in the future, as it concerned his health. He hadn't considered learning alchemy before because he lacked spirit stones and his cultivation level was too low.
Now Ye Xiaobai no longer has these problems. After entering the inner sect, he will find an opportunity to study alchemy at Lingdan Peak, the only alchemy lineage of the White Tiger Sect.
