Chapter 229 Lanqu Square Market
Juhua Restaurant was just a few hundred meters away from Prince Manor.
This restaurant was also considered a property of Prince Manor.
Besides Juhua Restaurant, there were two other restaurants nearby that were owned by Prince Manor. All three would cease operations to the public during the period of the Three Major Academies’ examinations and cater exclusively to the young martial artists preparing for the assessments.
Jing Yan and the other nine, holding their examination tokens, entered the restaurant and, after the servants registered their information, were each allocated a room.
Martial artists like Jing Yan, who came from the cities below, would obviously not be given the best rooms in the restaurant. Having a private room each was already considered good enough.
The better rooms in the restaurant were reserved for the influential forces of Lanqu County City participating in the Three Major Acadacemies’ examinations.
To this, Jing Yan didn’t pay much mind. After all, his stay inside the restaurant was only temporary. Once the assessments were over, he’d join Dao Yi Academy.
The three martial artists from the Zhao and Cai families, immediately after entering the restaurant, hastily separated from Jing Yan. In his presence, they felt unsafe, and now, with City Lord Huo Chunyang gone, if Jing Yan found any reason to kill them, they’d die wronged.
Within his room in the restaurant, Jing Yan closed his eyes to conserve his energy.
A knock—"Dong dong dong"—resounded at the door.
"Is it Mr. Jing Yan?" called a voice from outside.
"Come in," Jing Yan said, glancing at the door.
