Chapter 31: Linjiang Tower
Changing into a waterproof cloak, Lu Xiaoman and other passengers got off the boat and entered the city along the official road, the buildings in the city were less solemn than Cangzhou City, but a little more exquisite.
Linjiang Tower is one of the most famous restaurants in the entire Jiangdu, and it is the most important industry of the Qingyun Sect in Jiangdu, but this news can only be known by the top forces in Jiangdu.
After simply inquiring with passers-by, Lu Xiaoman found the place.
Linjiang Tower is located in the east of Jiangdu City, although it is a restaurant but the street is very clean, the building is more than 15 zhang high, from the third floor, you can cross the city wall and overlook the magnificent Surabaya River outside the city.
The interior environment of Linjiang Building is also different from that of ordinary restaurants, but it is very elegant, and although there are many guests dining inside, it does not seem noisy.
When Lu Xiaoman came to Linjiang Tower, the waiter outside the door did not despise her dress that was incompatible with the environment here, and still led Lu Xiaoman into the building respectfully and politely.
"I'm looking for Deacon Wang Lin!" Lu Xiaoman didn't go to eat first, and directly found the innkeeper and said.
"Oh, I don't know if the girl has a token?" What kind of character is the shopkeeper, just a little look can see through Lu Xiaoman's simple disguise.
"Give!" Lu Xiaoman didn't think much about it, took out the token that Su Ying had given her in advance from the storage bag, and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper knew that this token was not fake, and his face immediately became respectful, and he carefully returned the token to Lu Xiaoman with both hands.
"It's not just the girl's name, what is the matter with coming to Lord Wang?"
"My name is Lu Xiaoman, and I am here to find Deacon Wang to worship in the Qingyun Sect. Lu Xiaoman said directly, now that he is in the territory of Qingyun Sect, there is nothing to hide.
"Ah! It turned out to be Miss Lu, the villain opened her arms, it was really rude just now," the shopkeeper looked like he had admired the name for a long time, "Lord Wang went out to do business a few days ago, and he is not here at the moment, but he should come back in these two days, I think Miss Lu is coming from afar, why don't you stay in this Linjiang Building for a while?"
"Okay," Lu Xiaoman thought about it for a while, and agreed.
"Zhang Qi, hurry up and take Miss Lu to the private room on the eighth floor for dinner, and then arrange for Miss Lu to live in the Chunfeng Pavilion!" the shopkeeper hurriedly ordered.
"Miss Lu, this is my nephew Zhang Qi, and I am also my own person. The shopkeeper introduced to Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman nodded lightly, and then left with Zhang Qi.
"Uncle, who is this Lu girl?" After a while, Zhang Qi, who had arranged to come back, asked Zhang Kaihuai with some doubts.
"I don't know, but I was personally introduced to the sect by Lord Wang before the apprenticeship ceremony, I guess it must be an incredible genius!" Zhang Kaihuai said.
"You kid doesn't have any martial arts talent, I don't expect it in this life, but being able to befriend such a genius can also make you have a bright future. Zhang Kaihuai couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, he had no son in his life, and the only junior was Zhang Qi, so he had always treated him as his own son.
"Uncle, I know, don't worry, I've already arranged it and nothing will go wrong. That Zhang Qi said with a smile.
"But I always feel that Miss Lu's name is a little familiar, as if I heard it recently," Zhang Kaihuai muttered with a frown.
"Lu Xiaoman... Lu Xiaoman..."
"I remembered!" Zhang Kaihuai suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "It turned out to be her!"
"It is the information that came back more than ten days ago, this Lu Xiaoman's origin is unknown, suspected of refining the nine-layer cultivation, the first appearance was in Wangnan City at the junction of Cangzhou and the Southern Regions, and then went to Cangzhou and took the elixir to cure the daughter of Su Ying, the Mu of Cangzhou Prefecture, so he became friendly with Su Ying, and then was forced to fight to the death with Sun Lijian, the eldest young master of the Sun family, one of the five major families in Cangzhou, because he killed Sun Liming, the young master of the Sun family, but to everyone's surprise, in the duel, he used the cultivation of the body refining realm as a counter-kill to build the fifth layer of the foundation of the genius martial artist Sun Lijian, and then he has been recuperating in Su Ying's mansion... I didn't expect her to come here..."Before Zhang Qi could open his mouth to interrogate, Zhang Kaihuai explained first.
"How is this possible?" Zhang Qi exclaimed, "How is it possible for the Body Refining Realm to kill the fifth layer of the foundation building head-on?"
"Although I don't believe it either, but at that time, there were people with names and surnames in Cangzhou who were present, how could it be fake. He sighed.
"This, this..."Zhang Qi stammered a little, not knowing how to evaluate this matter, "It's incredible! even if a genius of the Body Refining Realm who has already entered the sect can't do this, right?"
"The masters in the sect are like clouds and geniuses are like rain, who can know them all," Zhang Kaihuai shook his head, "But with Lu Xiaoman's strength, I am afraid that it is a safe thing to worship in the sect." ”
Looking at Zhang Qi with an envious face, he slapped his head with open arms.
"If you can't envy this kind of fact, you just do your own thing!"
On the other side, Lu Xiaoman, who was dressed as a martial artist, attracted the curiosity of the guests in the building, but when he saw Lu Xiaoman ascend to the eighth floor, this curiosity turned into shock!
You must know that the higher the floor of a restaurant like this, the more noble the identity of the guests. The entire Linjiang Building has a total of nine floors, even the masters of the top powers in Cangzhou are only on the seventh floor when they eat, and these ordinary family members or martial artists with some status can only dine on the fourth or fifth floors at most.
The eighth floor is generally used to receive people from the top forces in the dynasty and rarely opens, while the ninth floor is specially prepared for the deacons and elders of those top sects, the lords of the top forces of the dynasty, and even the relatives of the emperor, and it may not be able to be opened once in the past few years.
"Could it be a disciple of a top-level sect?" Everyone couldn't help but secretly guess that Lu Xiaoman's dress and temperament really didn't look like a child of a wealthy family, and only in this way could it be reasonable.
However, because it was the head of Linjiang Building who personally led the way, no one dared to explore too much, but secretly he was already paying attention and planned to find an opportunity to contact him as much as possible.
Although he was aware of everyone's gaze, Lu Xiaoman, who had long been accustomed to it, didn't care about it, and directly ordered a large table of food after coming to the private room.
The location of the eighth floor can not only overlook the mighty Surabaya River outside the city, but also can see the scenery of the entire Jiangdu, even the highest place of the City Lord's Mansion is only on a par with it, which is enough to see the status of Linjiang Tower in the Jiangdu.
However, such a beautiful scenery is not as attractive to Lu Xiaoman as the food in front of him. Linjianglou is one of the best restaurants in Jiangdu, how can the food be bad? Especially Lu Xiaoman is their honored guest, and the dishes he makes are all delicious.
Seeing Lu Xiaoman happily gobbling up there, Li Shenzhou was a little hungry.
