Chapter 134: Divine Workshop

As evening approached, Qin Feng stepped out of the Listen To Rain Pavilion.

To his disappointment, Miss Cang was not in the Listen To Rain Pavilion and he had no idea where she had gone.

He sighed and with Lan Ningshaung in tow, headed to the Moonlit Pavilion.

The business at the Moonlit Pavilion was still thriving, and being fully occupied had become the norm.

The Manager Peng sat at the front desk, going through bills and checking the inventory of drinks. At the first glance of Qin Feng, he respectfully greeted him with a smiling face. From the bottom of his heart, he admired this young master of the Qin family.

The three of them went to the accounting room, where Peng Qing reported the profit situation of the city’s taverns over the past few days.

Time passed quietly.

“It’s almost time for dinner. Let’s just have something here.” Qin Feng said to Lan Ningshaung after listening to the report.

“Whatever Young Master says.”

Upon hearing this, the Manager Peng asked, “Young Master, do you want me to reserve a spot for you on the third floor?”

Qin Feng thought for a moment and shook his head, “No need, we’ll eat on the first floor.”

He enjoyed a lively atmosphere. Eating while listening to the chatter of the people around him was quite interesting.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it right away.” Manager Peng bowed and left.

After a while, he cleared a window-side spot on the first floor for Qin Feng and Lan Ningshaung.

The first floor was the largest, with the most people, and naturally, it was very lively.

Among them were sturdy men, likely servants who had traveled far and wide with wealthy merchants. They were well-informed and knew a lot of inside information.

Some talked about the prosperity of Heavenly City, while others discussed the whereabouts of the officials from the Demon Slaying Department, who had slain powerful demons and monsters.

There were also stories about strange occurrences in remote villages.

Qin Feng sipped his wine, eavesdropping on these conversations, feeling relaxed and content.

At that moment, a voice caught his attention.

“This time, how many damaged areas did your team repair in Qiyuan City? Let me report ours first, it’s not much. We only repaired twenty-three streets, forty-three houses, and seventeen pavilions.”

“Huo Yuan is right. Even in Imperial City, I haven’t tasted such delicacies. And the wine here is also exceptional. Come, I’ll toast to you!”

Both groups raised their wine glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.

“Eat the foods, eat the foods.” Huo Yuan and Gong Liang spoke at the same time, and their subordinates began to frantically pick and eat the vegetables. The speed at which they ate was simply unmatched.

The commotion caused by this group naturally attracted the attention of the people around.

The commoners put down their chopsticks, looking at them with strange expressions.

Lan Ningshuang was originally from the Liu family in Imperial City, and had long heard of the reputation of the artisans from the Divine Workshop. She was not surprised by this.

“Eating so fast, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?” Qin Feng looked at this group of people and muttered to himself.

Huo Yuan and Gong Liang were eating quickly, each not wanting to be slower than the other.

If they choked, they would take a sip of wine, swallow, and then start eating again.

“Huo (Gong) brothers, what is your mission in Qiyuan City this time?” The two spoke in unison, squinting their eyes.

“Repairing the areas damaged by the Hundred Ghosts a while ago,” they said simultaneously again.

“Is there nothing else?” The two stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, speaking at such a synchronized frequency.

“Heh.” No one believed each other.

The people from the Divine Workshop were engaged in physical labor so they ordered more dishes than other commoners. However three tables of food quickly got emptied.

“Waiter, the bill!”

Huo Yuan and Gong Liang simultaneously slapped down the broken silver, and the two groups of people left Moonlit Pavilion in a hurry.

Until everyone watched them leave and stood still for a moment, the lively atmosphere gradually returned.

Qin Feng raised his wine glass, curious.

“Why would the people from the Divine Workshop come to Jinyang City? Could it really be to repair the damage caused by the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade?”

“No, that’s not right. In a small place like Jinyang City, there’s no financial power to afford them. After all, the people from the Divine Workshop don’t come cheap, given their level of skill. Moreover, each of them likes to tinker with some novel things, researching artifact production when they have nothing else to do, which requires considerable expenses. Therefore, these guys basically only take on big projects.”

Qin Feng looked in the direction the Divine Workshop group had left, lost in thought.
