Chapter 522: Bloodline Powers (II)
In Great Wei, at Pinghao City.
This was the easternmost city of Great Wei, bordering the Eastern Sea. Ever since the Southern Barbarian Region had been jointly seized by the Nine Nether Sect and the ancient yaos, the barbarian tribes had continued to conquer cities and territory across the northern lands. Meanwhile, the western demon caves had gradually stabilized once more thanks to the intervention of the Buddhist sects.
As for Great Wei's eastern frontier, its proximity to the Eastern Sea meant they constantly had to remain vigilant against trouble stirred up by the sea clan.
Bright sunlight streamed through a window. Lin Zheyu sat leisurely on the second floor of a restaurant, slowly savoring a lavish spread of dishes. The food here could not compare to the delicacies of the grotto heaven realm, but it possessed its own unique charm. Especially since the city bordered the Eastern Sea and was rich in seafood, the wide variety of fresh flavors gave him an entirely different culinary experience.
Looking down through the open window, he could see peddlers and common folk constantly coming and going along the broad streets below. Business at the restaurant was thriving. Even though it was not yet mealtime, the second floor was already nearly full.
A waiter hurried over and respectfully addressed a young noble who had just come upstairs. "Honored guests, there are only two seats left. If you don't mind sharing a table with others, would that be acceptable?"
The group consisted of eight people, all dressed in luxurious robes with refined bearing. It was obvious they came from influential backgrounds.
The young man leading them swept his gaze across the room with a slight frown, clearly displeased at the thought of sharing a table. Unfortunately, every table was already occupied.
"I'll handle it."
A man carrying a longsword at his waist grinned as he stepped forward.
He waved the waiter away and walked directly toward Lin Zheyu's table. On the entire second floor, only Lin Zheyu was sitting alone.
The young noble pulled out 2 taels of silver and placed them in front of Lin Zheyu with a smile. "Friend, would you mind giving us this seat?"
