Lord of the Star Ocean

"Huh?"

Nie Feng stopped in his tracks, and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

He checked into the Linhu Inn, took a hot bath in the room, and enjoyed the maid's massage. It was already dark when he came out. He didn't expect this temporarily hired boy in civilian clothes to still be guarding the door.

Are you doing business here?

Seeing Nie Feng, the commoner boy immediately jumped up. He rubbed his hands uncomfortably, and said nonchalantly, "My lord, you hired a villain, and I dare not leave without your permission."

I see…

Nie Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "You are quite honest, if that's the case, then come with me."

If it were another cunning person, he might have disappeared without a trace, so why would he stay here and wait.

Nie Feng didn't care about the employment fee, but he liked the young man in front of him a little bit more.

It happened that he also wanted to know more about the situation in Haoyuan City, so he took him with him and went to Linhu Restaurant together.

There is only a small bridge between Linhu Inn and Linhu Restaurant, and it takes only 30 steps to walk there. This restaurant built by the small lake is taller than the inn, and there are lanterns hanging under the eaves on each floor. It lights up before it is completely dark.

Nie Feng strolled into the restaurant, and immediately a waiter greeted him, "My lord, do you have a reservation?"

Still want to book here? What's the reservation number?

Nie Feng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I just came to Haoyuan City today. I was recommended by someone from the Linhu Inn to eat here. I heard that your stewed beef and steamed fish are good. I wonder if there is still room?"

"There are some!"

The clerk's attitude was even more attentive, and he introduced enthusiastically: "My lord, you are single, so the balcony on the second floor is the most suitable place. The lake and moon view at night are the most beautiful. Of course, if you need quiet, there are private private rooms on the third and fourth floors."

He completely ignored the commoner boy, apparently treating him as Nie Feng's servant.

A servant is not a guest.

Nie Feng said, "Then sit on the balcony."

"Okay!"

The clerk readily agreed, and then led Nie Feng to the balcony on the second floor.

The terrace is actually an annex to the restaurant. It is built on the shore of a small lake and supported by thick logs. Half of the supporting logs are in the water, so the area is very large.

There were more than a dozen wine tables in the terrace area, and quite a few guests were already seated. The staff arranged a corner seat for Nie Feng, where he could also enjoy the beautiful view of the small lake.

Interestingly, there was a pair of fishing rods on the wine table, and the buddy told Nie Feng that if you want to eat fish, you can catch it yourself, because the fish you catch by yourself will taste extra delicious.

It turns out that the restaurant has fences around the terrace, and there are a lot of lake fish in the fences for diners to catch.

Nie Feng thought it was very interesting, so he chose to fish by himself. After only a moment of fishing with bait, he lifted up a alive and kicking silver scale lake fish, which actually weighed one or two catties!

Nie Feng called the waiter to take the fish away, poured himself a glass of wine, and ate the freshly cut stewed beef.

Then he heard the sound of the civilian boy swallowing saliva next to him.

Nie Feng put down his wine glass, pointed to the opposite seat with a smile and said, "Sit down and eat together."

Ever since following Nie Feng to the restaurant, the boy in commoner clothes behaved very cautiously, following closely beside Nie Feng all the time, bowing his head in silence and not daring to speak, completely treating himself as a servant.

Hearing Nie Feng's words, he was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly said in panic, "I don't dare!"

How could a poor man like him have the qualifications to sit with someone like Nie Feng.

Nie Feng frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I'll let you sit down!"

He knew that for a commoner boy who was used to the lowest status, being gentle and polite would make them feel uneasy or even scared when they were not familiar with each other, so he directly used the tone of command.

Sure enough, the boy in civilian clothes followed suit and sat down obediently, but only half of his butt was touching the chair.

Nie Feng pushed the plate of stewed beef in front of him and said, "Eat it, I still have something to ask you!"

The commoner boy raised his head and took a sneak peek at Nie Feng. After confirming that this was what Nie Feng meant, he finally plucked up the courage to pick up a few slices of beef and quickly devoured it.

Obviously very hungry.

Nie Feng looked at him with a drink, and suddenly asked, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

The boy in civilian clothes tried his best to swallow the beef in his mouth, and quickly replied: "The little one has no name, and others call me Gouzi. I am fourteen years old this year."

Nie Feng nodded and asked again: "Then who else is in your family?"

The boy in civilian clothes timidly replied: "There is also a younger sister."

Nie Feng smiled lightly and said, "Then the beef you hid just now is going to be taken home for my sister to eat?"

The boy in commoner clothes suddenly turned pale with fright, unexpectedly Nie Feng could see his small movements clearly, he knelt down on the ground with a thud in panic: "Young man, I know I was wrong!"

Nie Feng frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Get up and talk!"

The movement made by the other party was a bit loud, and many guests nearby looked over here.

The commoner boy quickly stood up again.

Nie Feng motioned him to sit down again, and said, "Don't be afraid, you can pack a copy and take it home, but before that, I have a lot of questions to ask you."

What Nie Feng asked was of course something related to Haoyuan City, and this young man in civilian clothes was born in the market and lived on the streets since he was a child. He didn't dare to say everything about the situation in Haoyuan City, but he could provide Nie Feng with a lot of useful information.

This time he traveled all the way to Haoyuan City. Nie Feng will enter Haoyuan Martial Arts Pavilion to continue his martial arts practice. If there is no accident, he will live in Haoyuan City for at least three years.

After asking this local boy about the local situation, his eyes won't turn black.

The commoner boy was in awe of Nie Feng, and he knew everything about his problems and talked endlessly.

While talking and chatting, hot dishes were served.

In addition to the cold cuts of stewed beef, Nie Feng also ordered a few special dishes. He caught a steamed fish himself.

As night fell, a round of bright moon rose into the night sky, and the cool moonlight fell on the small lake, sparkling and picturesque, and the beautiful scenery was enough to drink.

Several red boats with colorful lights came quietly and stopped at the lake shore near the restaurant.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are intoxicated!
