Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi slept for more than two hours before being awakened by a knock on the door.

Wang Yi stretched comfortably, got up, and opened the door.

The waiter at the door politely asked, "Brother Wang, everything is almost ready. Do you have time now? Shall we go and have a meal?"

Wang Yi nodded, then casually picked out a light gray tracksuit that fit well from the changing room. After changing, he followed the waiter to the restaurant.

On the way, they encountered three other people who had also been guided there by the waiter.

Qi Xiaohao also changed into a brand new light blue tracksuit. Although Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue were also wearing new clothes, their colors remained the classic black and white contrast.

The four were led by the waiter to a room.

Upon opening the door and entering, I discovered a hidden paradise inside.

Although it's a private room, the overall layout inside doesn't resemble a restaurant at all; it feels more like home.

Even Wang Yi doubted whether Jiang Yingying and her family actually lived here on a regular basis.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Hao, Xiao Yue, Xiao Jiang, hurry up, wash your hands and eat." Fu Ying, who had changed out of her formal attire into a light yellow dress and a pink plaid apron, was placing a plate of food on the table and waving to the four of them.

In the kitchen, Jiang Yingwu was sweating profusely as he stir-fried vegetables over a high flame.

After Wang Yi and the other three obediently washed their hands, they sat down at the dining table.

"Yingying, come out for dinner." After greeting Wang Yi and the other three, Fu Ying called out to another room.

The door opened, and Jiang Yingying, whose appearance had changed drastically, walked out.

She had her hair tied up, changed into a pink hooded sweatshirt, wore light blue wide-leg pants, and white sneakers. She also had light makeup on, making her look youthful and energetic.

Compared to her previous heroic and spirited demeanor, Jiang Yingying now resembles a strikingly beautiful girl next door.

Without a doubt, Jiang Yingwu, or Fu Ying, completely defined this dinner party as a family banquet.

When Fu Ying received Jiang Yingwu's notification, she assumed it was because Jiang Yingwu had made another new friend and was prepared to treat him casually according to the standards of a high-end member of the restaurant.

Later, after hearing Jiang Yingwu add that these four students had extraordinary identities, such as being exceptional students, Fu Ying raised the standard to the top-tier member level.

To her utter surprise, Jiang Yingying later sent her another message, saying that she wanted to treat some friends to a meal, and that she had learned a lot and been rescued many times while training with these people on the grassland.

Fu Ying then learned that Jiang Yingying had secretly gone to the grasslands, and that Jiang Yingwu hadn't stopped her.

So when Jiang Yingwu returned with his men, Fu Ying first arranged for Wang Yi and the other three to rest for a while, then dragged Jiang Yingwu into the house, sent his daughter away, and gave him a lecture.

Afterwards, I listened to Jiang Yingying, who had just finished showering, chattering away, telling me a lot about what happened during her training with the others on the grassland.

Therefore, Fu Ying temporarily changed the reception protocol from a top-tier member event to a family banquet.

In the kitchen, Jiang Yingwu was cooking, Fu Ying was helping out, and Jiang Yingying was chatting with Wang Yi and the others.

"Brother E, are we just going to sit here and wait? Do you need any help?" Qi Xiaohao asked Wang Yi in a low voice.

Qi Xiaohao has a lot of experience in treating people to meals. The process is simply to book a private room and then pay by facial recognition, which is very simple.

However, I have very little experience visiting others' homes, especially not visiting people I'm not very familiar with.

"No need, we're guests, why should we help? Besides, you can't cook, what help can you be? You'll only make things worse," Wang Yi said to Qi Xiaohao.

Qi Xiaohao felt that it made sense, so he stopped thinking about these things.

Chef Jiang Yingwu's skills are undeniable; he quickly prepared ten dishes and two soups, filling the table.

The dishes aren't particularly elaborate or fancy; they're all very home-style.

Once all the dishes were served, Jiang Yingwu took out a bottle of his carefully blended and treasured Qinggu Wine and poured a small cup for each of Wang Yi and the other three.

Then Jiang Yingwu raised his glass, saying thank you to Wang Yi and the other three for taking Jiang Yingying through the grasslands, and then downed it in one gulp.

Wang Yi had no choice but to drink the wine in his cup.

The Green Bone Wine is extremely spicy and intense when it first enters the mouth, but it leaves a mellow and fragrant aftertaste. If you taste it carefully, there is also a slight bloody smell mixed in, but the overall taste is not unpleasant.

After drinking just a small cup of wine, Wang Yi quickly felt his blood and qi surging, and his face turned red rapidly, as if he had just taken a boost.

The other three were in similar situations, except that Wang Jiang had a lot of self-control. As soon as the blood rushed to his face, he easily calmed it down and suppressed it after a few breaths.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yingwu laughed twice and then replaced everyone's wine with a sweet and refreshing fruit wine with a lower alcohol content.

This pot of Qinggu wine is made with very generous amounts of ingredients, and it is very nourishing to the blood and qi. Even a small cup is too much for an ordinary person to handle, so Jiang Yingwu is reluctant to take it out easily.

However, judging from the performance of the four, their physical condition is still good, with Wang Yi and Wang Jiang being the best.

Even though Qi Xiaohao looks much fatter, it's not just bloated fat; he's actually quite robust.

Afterwards, the seven of them ate and chatted, discussing everyday topics at the dinner table.

Although Wang Jiang was not very talkative, Jiang Yue was approachable and gentle, and spoke appropriately. Wang Yi was also experienced and handled the situation with ease, in addition to Qi Xiaohao's natural talent for making friends.

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.

After the family dinner, Wang Yi and the others returned to their rooms to rest. Fu Ying, who had been a kind and amiable aunt, transformed back into the decisive and efficient owner of Qifenglou.

Fu Ying had a very good impression of Wang Yi and the others. They were good people, humble and polite, and well-mannered. Moreover, they had really saved Jiang Yingying.

Furthermore, these four young mages are talented and capable, with bright and limitless futures. It wouldn't hurt to befriend them.

After returning to his room, Wang Yi rested and had just drunk a cup of Qinggu wine, so he was full of energy. He asked a waiter to lead the way to the underground training room, where he toured it and then chose a room to practice more.

After practicing for several hours, Wang Yi, feeling completely refreshed, took a shower and walked out of the training room. To his surprise, he saw Huang Longxi and the other two waiting at the door.

"Uncle Huang, what a coincidence!" Wang Yi asked, somewhat surprised.

"Haha, it's not really a coincidence. I just heard that you guys came out of Zhuchuanyuan Bridge, so I came here specifically to thank you." Huang Longxi laughed, making no mention of the fact that he had been waiting at the entrance of the training room for a long time.

"It was nothing more than lending a hand, Uncle Huang, don't take it to heart. Besides, I also took the opportunity to hunt two Jade Tigers and reaped quite a harvest," Wang Yi said casually.

"It's just lending a hand to you, but for us brothers, it's a life-saving favor. You may not care, but we can't." Huang Longxi waved his hand repeatedly and said that he happened to be at Qifenglou and would treat Wang Yi and the others to dinner that evening.

Since things had come to this point, Wang Yi couldn't very well refuse.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped off the Takekawahara Bridge, the restaurant was already packed.
