Run a special restaurant in the realm of self-cultivation

Chapter 381 Searching for Hidden Monsters
Hua Jinyu looked into the distance and saw a figure on the six-story wooden building far away from where they were.

"From a distance, it really looks like a person," Hua Jinyu said, signaling others to look in that direction.

Wang Xinrong looked over and found that there did seem to be a person standing there from a distance, and seemed to be looking over here.

"You have really good eyesight. You can tell from such a distance that it's not a human." Langquan spoke, squinting his eyes and carefully identifying it for a while. No matter how he looked at it, the figure looked like a human.

It has a human head, human arms, human body shape, and human fingers.

After squinting for a while, Wang Xinrong felt that it was a person.

"I didn't say it was a person, don't talk nonsense." Hua Jinyu shook her fan, looking as if she was wronged.

It was because he said it looked like a person, and when they looked at it again, it looked like a person no matter how they looked at it.

Lu Bai was about to say something, but Wang Xinrong spoke before him and asked, "Don't you think it's a person? No matter how I look at it, I feel like it's a person, and it seems like it's waving at us."

She didn’t know if her eyes were blurry. After she said that, she looked at Lu Bai and the others, and felt that they might have seen it too.

And the person standing on the six-story wooden building, squinting his eyes, carefully tried to see whether Wang Xinrong and the others could see him.

Wave your arms and watch their reactions. If they turn their heads, you can be sure that they can see you.

He immediately used gestures to communicate with Wang Xinrong and the others, hoping that they could come over to his side so that he could understand what they were looking for.

As a city lord, he didn't want anything uncontrollable to happen in his jurisdiction. Earlier, he heard that some strange beasts from the border had escaped here, and he was very worried that he would be in trouble.

I was so depressed that I came to the sixth floor to look into the distance, hoping to find a way to avoid disaster.

Only then did I notice that there were these people wandering around the city with a clear purpose, and it was obvious that they were looking for something.

After making the gesture for a long time and repeating it many times, I finally saw a response.

Wang Xinrong was surprised. The figure in the distance seemed to be making gestures. After a while, she finally realized that the person was calling them over.

"That person is inviting us to come over and meet him."

After Wang Xinrong understood, she immediately responded with a gesture, but when she saw her own height, she felt that although she could see the other person, the other person might not be able to see her.

Then, he asked the tall Hua Jinyu to give a response to the other party.

Hua Jinyu waved her arms, and then imitated the other person's gestures. Then she saw the other person's moving figure, and suddenly disappeared.

"Let's go and see who's there," Wang Xinrong walked quickly in front, but suddenly stopped, stretched out her hands, and looked at Hua Jinyu.

Hua Jinyu immediately picked her up and placed her on her shoulders.

"I'll help you keep an eye on the location and lead the way." Wang Xinrong looked at the six-story wooden building in the distance and quickly recalled where he had been before and how to get there.

As Hua Jinyu was walking, she suddenly asked, "Can't you change your shape?"

He could obviously walk by himself, so why did he just think of this? He always felt like he was a mount.

"Ah, do you dislike me?" Wang Xinrong was surprised. She didn't expect Hua Jinyu to have such an idea. She felt that she looked like a child and it was indeed inappropriate at this time.

As she was speaking, a figure came down from Hua Jinyu's shoulder. The moment she landed on the ground, her body shape changed and she became an old woman with a face full of wrinkles.

Langquan couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why did you become an old woman? Are you angry?"

Hua Jinyu also felt that she was angry, otherwise she would not have transformed into a beautiful young woman, but an old woman with wrinkles on her face.

"Whatever I like!"

Wang Xinrong responded with a smile, and then walked quickly ahead.

After turning several alleys and walking around several streets, we arrived at the six-story wooden building.

Then I realized that this was a restaurant.

Moreover, it was a deserted restaurant with not many people inside.

As soon as they arrived, someone came out to greet them and took them to the top floor.

"Please take a seat, everyone." Wang Xinrong had just seen the people in the elegant private room when the other party spoke.

They didn't hesitate and just walked over and sat down.

The whole table was full.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the city lord, Chen Yu."

"My name is Wang Xinrong. They are my followers."

Wang Xinrong finished the introduction calmly and waited for the other party to continue to explain why they were invited over.

Chen Yu just smiled faintly, guessing that their relationship was not as the old woman said.

He got straight to the point and said, "I invited you here just to find out if you need any help?"

If you want to find someone, especially in your own city, it is always faster to find them yourself than to do it with them.

"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord. We don't need any help." Wang Xinrong was about to say something polite, but felt that if that was all she said, she should leave here quickly.

At this time, the restaurant owner and the waiter came with the dishes.

I looked out the window. It wasn't time for dinner yet. Maybe we couldn't just talk all the time, especially in a restaurant.

Wang Xinrong thought that since she was already here and the food had already been served, she might as well wait a little longer. Since she was invited by others, she should just wait for them to see her off.

Chen Yu introduced each dish with a smile, said something else, and started chatting.

Wang Xinrong and the others cooperated with a smile, asking a question from time to time, neither enthusiastic nor cold.

As Chen Yu was talking, he started by talking about several weddings in the city a few days ago and the chef hired by this restaurant. He then mentioned who invited him to attend the full-month banquet for their child and how he was the one who named the child.

As we chatted, we started eating.

Wang Xinrong didn't feel embarrassed. She was facing Chen Yu and started to taste the dishes on the table without any hesitation to see if they were as delicious as Chen Yu said.

Hua Jinyu, who was more suspicious, signaled her with her eyes, asking her to be careful and not put anyone else's food into her mouth.

Wang Xinrong pretended not to see it, but Chen Yu saw it clearly and took the lead in eating with gusto.

After eating and drinking his fill and putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"To tell you the truth, even though my cultivation is a little low, I can still see that you are all powerful cultivators."

Wang Xinrong looked at Chen Yu, waiting for him to continue. Chen Yu sighed and continued, "I, I need your help."

"We've finished the meal before you even opened your mouth." Gao Kui glanced at Chen Yu. It was obvious that this guy wanted to use a meal to ask for something in return from them.

"No, I don't want to use this meal," Chen Yu realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his approach, and he felt powerless to explain.

"Just tell me what it is." Wang Xinrong didn't want to listen to those wasted words. She was also curious about what could have happened that made the city lord so embarrassed to ask for external help.

Especially, they are strange outsiders, even though they are powerful monks.

"Well, I really want to understand. Strange beast, do you know?" After asking, Chen Yu felt that he was asking unnecessary questions and it would be better to explain the situation directly.

"Did the alien beast from the border escape to your place?" Wang Xinrong asked doubtfully. Could it be that the city lord caught it?

"I'm not sure. I feel uneasy and want to take precautions," Chen Yu didn't say the rest.

"Oh, we are here with you just about this matter," Wang Xinrong replied. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chen Yu's panicked face.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not because the alien beasts from the border have arrived here, but they are checking whether they have arrived here." Hua Jinyu replied quickly.

Wang Xinrong wanted to persuade Chen Yu not to panic, "As a city lord, you need to be steady and keep a stable mentality," otherwise if you encounter something chaotic, you will lose your composure.

Chen Yu nodded, calming down his panic, and then realized that Wang Xinrong might be very powerful. Since she didn't look panicked at all, she must be staying in the city.

"We haven't found any traces of strange beasts here for the time being. Let's take another turn and then go to the next place." After Wang Xinrong finished speaking, Chen Yu's eyes were already filled with anxiety. It seemed that he didn't want them to leave.
