Chapter 23: Lan Ming

Shen Yu dropped his hand and looked at the woman who commanded such authority. Although he was affected by her beauty, he had learned to control that side of him. She was clearly a powerhouse here, that much was clear from how she behaved and how much Bai Chen feared her.

Bai Chen pretended to be not affected by her aura and scoffed.

"And here I was thinking, who is it who dared to speak up to me. Turns out it's Miss Lan. I think you have misunderstood my intentions. I'm not causing any trouble but only saving this lady..."

"You don't need to say anything, Young Master Bai. It'll be better for both of us if you leave my restaurant."

The woman, Lan Ming, spoke before Bai Chen could complete his sentence. Her eyes looked directly at him, and they held no uncertainty. She was saying what she meant, and if Bai Chen continued to drag this matter, it would truly end in mutual destruction.

Bai Chen clicked his tongue and glared at Shen Yu. Then he looked at Lan Ming with raged-filled eyes and stormed outside the restaurant.

Lan Ming didn't even flinch from the glare and simply stood in her place elegantly. She then took measured steps towards Shen Yu and Ying Yue. Arriving near them, she bowed lightly and said.

"I apologize for the misconduct you have to see in our humble restaurant."

"You don't need to worry about it. It's just a bug flying around."

Shen Yu dismissed her words as he waved his hand. Bai Chen really didn't mean much to him. Why would he waste his one extra brain cell on someone so insignificant?

"That's good. Still, it was our fault that you had to experience such things, so as compensation, you can eat and drink all you want in our restaurant for a month."

Lan Ming smiled and offered.

Even in their Wind Flower Sect, she would have been a Core Disciple with such talent. However, that didn't ignite Lan Ming's interest. After all, there were other geniuses, and they mostly belonged to Sects.

However, what made her interested in the duo was that Ying Yue was subservient to Shen Yu, clearly showing that Shen Yu was higher in the hierarchy. But Lan Ming couldn't see through him. It was as if he were a Mortal man, but that was clearly impossible with how a genius like Ying Yue was serving him.

People fear the unknown, but they are also the most curious about the Unknown.

Lan Ming had guessed that Shen Yu was probably a hidden powerhouse. After all, she could even see through the cultivation of the Sect Master of Wind Flower Sect, who was at the First-Rank Nascent Soul Realm.

Lan Ming smiled. The Wind Flower Sect needed allies, and having someone powerful like Shen Yu on their side, even if it was only as friends, was beneficial for them. She was serving as the restaurant owner for a purpose, and now that purpose was fulfilled.

Shen Yu nodded and also introduced upon hearing Lan Ming's introduction.

"My name is Shen Yu, Sect Master of Divine Harem Sect, and this is my disciple and wife, Ying Yue."

Ying Yue bowed slightly toward Lan Ming.

"Sect Master?"

Lan Ming was surprised and tried to think of the sect named Divine Harem but couldn't remember where it was. However, she wasn't very surprised as someone as powerful as Shen Yu was bound to be a part of a powerful sect and maybe even Sect Master.

"Yes, it's actually new, and I recently made it. For now, only us two are in the sect and we came to this town for registration of our Sect."

Shen Yu explained.
