The Celestial Fragrance Inn's manager felt like he had drunk honey in his heart, and a sweet smile spread across his face. In the morning, when he opened the door, a large crowd of people came rushing in and rushed up to the third floor.

At first, the shopkeeper was really surprised, but when he found out that they were here to visit the place where the hero who took out items from the sky to eat, he immediately showed great flexibility and hastily ordered the waiter to go to the city's coffin shop to customize two signboards, one big and one small.

The two couplets on the huge signboard read as if they were flying dragons and phoenixes. Zuo Lianyun's "taking things out of the air will show his true colors", and his "cutting steel knife will swallow up thousands of miles of Jianghu". At this moment, the huge signboard was hanging in front of the restaurant's most conspicuous entrance.

The small signboard was engraved with the words' Honored Warrior '. Below, there was a row of small words written in a dignified and elegant manner.' Eating your meal will cost you 100 taels of silver ', which was placed on the only table on the second floor that you didn't leave behind yesterday.

The person sitting on the seat of honor earlier complained that the shopkeeper was borrowing the reputation of a hero to amass wealth. Immediately, someone stood out and took the top spot with a price of 110 taels of silver.

The person from before, who had missed out on the throne, was depressed. He secretly wanted to reclaim the throne by clenching his teeth and calling out a price of one hundred and fifty silver.

When the others saw the situation unfold, some of them called out a bid of two hundred taels. The air was tinged with the smell of gunpowder. The hand of the man from before had already touched the hilt of his saber.

The shopkeeper noticed that something was not right. He rolled his eyes and dragged a chair to the center. He stood up and waved for everyone to quiet down.

The noise gradually subsided, and the shopkeeper's clear voice said loudly: "Everyone already knows the heroic deeds of the hero who took out the steel sabre from the sky, that is, the Heaven Fragrant Restaurant will become the designated restaurant for this hero. He does not like people making trouble here, and hopes that you all can restrain his temper, if you anger him, then …" "I'm sure that everyone should know about the matter regarding that item. Therefore, I'm too embarrassed to say too much."

As he spoke, the smell of gunpowder lessened, and the anger from his hand on the hilt of his knife faded. Don't take risks if you don't want to. After all, you still have to rely on that thing to have fun.

The effect was good. The shopkeeper was radiant and coughed dryly, "From my view, everyone wants to be tainted with the noble aura of a hero and should compete fairly. This way, everyone will have the chance to sit in the seat of honor. These words were agreed upon by the people with bulging waists, and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

The shopkeeper raised his hand and said happily, "Of course, the higher the price, the happier the heroes are. It is also direct proof of how deeply we respect the heroes. Later on, the waiter would record the first place's name and address in detail. If the hero, the great hero, came to dine, the waiter would be responsible for building a bridge in the middle of the restaurant. He would do his best to get the leader to eat at the same table as the hero, but at that time he would be charged a fee. Since a brave man had called out a bid of two hundred taels, the starting bid was now two hundred taels. Glory's hard to come by, so don't miss it. Start bidding now. "

The first person became anxious. It was a one-legged thief from a hundred families who had lost his silver. He could not fight for more without losing his dignity. He shouted, "Two hundred and ten taels of silver."

It had nothing to do with being rich or poor. It seemed like ten silver was a bottleneck for him, and he was able to raise the price twice without breaking the limit.

"Five hundred silver." Without waiting for anyone to bid, the one who called out a bid of two hundred silvers directly rose to five hundred silvers.

To eat at a table, five hundred taels of silver was no small amount. Not everyone in the martial arts world had the status and wealth of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan or the Red and Black Sword, both of which were renowned for their wealth and influence. Everyone cast sidelong glances at each other.

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade walked out. He was not tall, was chubby, and had a face full of debauchery. He cupped his hands and smiled. "Anyone higher than me? I will accompany you to the end."

Someone recognized him as the young master of the largest jewelry store in the capital, the "Heaven Pavilion Garden", Jiang Shangjin.

Even though the Heavenly Pavilion Garden was a business with great wealth, it was not that impressive to the martial arts world. The worst thing was that there were a few tall and skinny black clothed guards standing behind him, all of them looking full of energy, with their temples sticking out, it was obvious that they were experts in external martial arts.

Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the reason the Heavenly Pavilion Garden had been safe and sound while operating its jewelry was because countless martial arts experts had been raised here.

No one raised the price because of the huge amount of money. The one-legged bandit stared at the black-clothed guards for a while, then bitterly left his seat.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed. "Five hundred liang, deal!" The guard took out a note worth five hundred silver and passed it to the manager.

Jiang Shangjin saluted and sat down on the seat of honor. He smiled and said: "Our Sky Pavilion lacks such a young hero. Could you tell me where this hero is now?" No wonder he was willing to spend five hundred silvers to buy a seat.

The shopkeeper took the banknotes and jumped down from his chair. He was stunned when he heard this. He secretly regretted not sending someone to investigate the matter yesterday and missed another opportunity to collect the information.

A strong man who had been to the Qiangjia Gang was quick to respond and rushed to answer, "Lord Jiang, I know this very well. If you don't go personally, with your identity and status, I will definitely welcome you all!"

Jiang Zhengkai laughed and said in an overbearing manner, "Reward!" The guard immediately took out a note worth a hundred silver taels to reward Zhang Xuan.

He held a banknote in his hand, and his eyes lit up. He bowed and said, "This hero is the one who has been to the underworld. This humble one was fortunate enough to visit him yesterday, will you lead Mister Jiang over?"

After paying a hundred taels of silver, the brave warrior felt that he had the obligation to bow down and work hard. The matter must be done in detail, and he flattered, "Also, let Mister Jiang know that the leader of the Qiong family is the head of the Nangong family, Nangong He who led the three factions in Jiangnan Martial Arts School ten years ago."

At this moment, two women walked up the stairs. The woman in front of them was tall and had a black veil covering her face.

A scarlet cape wrapped around the woman's black satin attire, her exquisite curves perfectly accentuating her slim figure. He wore a dark red sword sheath on his waist under the cloak. The hilt of the sword was also dark red, reflecting the blood-red tassels. The sheath was red, the hilt was red, and the tip of the sword was blood-red. It carried an indescribably gorgeous charm.

The woman had just set foot on the third floor when she heard the last words of the brave man. Her body trembled slightly as she took a few steps forward. Her gaze was like two sharp swords that pierced through the thin veil as she looked at the man.

The other one was a young girl dressed in a green robe. She was also carrying a sword at her back. Although she wasn't an absolute beauty, her eyes were bright like autumn water as she stood by the woman's side.

The man suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. It was like a thorn in his back as he subconsciously turned around.

The tall girl looked at him and asked, "Sir, did you just say that the South River Family's Nangong He is here?" Her voice was soft and sad, making people unable to refuse her question.

The man was stunned for a moment before he replied, "Yes, he's at the division headquarters of the poor families on West Street."

The woman trembled slightly. In an instant, ripples rose in her deathly still heart. "Ten years … Nangong He, are you alright? " He slowly closed his eyes and put his hand on the girl's shoulder. He took a deep breath to calm his mind and slowly opened his eyes: "Do you know where the rudder is?" Seeing the man nod, he said gently, "Alright, may I trouble you to lead us there for a moment?"

The man gripped the banknote tightly and turned around to look at River Golden. He felt a little awkward.

River gold stared at the slim figure of the woman, then glanced at the tender cheeks of the young girl. He seemed rather generous as he waved his hand and said, "Let's go together. I'm also going to meet that hero." As he spoke, the color of the wine on his face intensified. He then ruthlessly licked the young girl's face and figure once more. He swallowed his saliva and stood up.

The tall woman looked at them one by one. She felt disgusted and said coldly, "There is no need for you to take me on, please have some self-respect!"

Jiang Jin stretched out his foot and suddenly froze. His face turned ugly as he laughed dryly, "I don't know what Miss means, but I …" A gust of wind blew by, lifting a corner of the muslin to reveal the woman's sparkling white neck. Her skin was like jade, and a light, intoxicating fragrance wafted through the air.

Jiang Shangjin's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but stop talking as he stared dumbly. As the rich young master of the largest jewelry store in the capital, he had seen countless women in his life. Just by looking at his slim body and his beautiful skin, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of beautiful face he had under that veil.

Undisguised drooling and being too arrogant, the tall girl's heart was filled with anger. She snorted and chastised, "How dare you, shameless scoundrel!" His body flickered in a trance as a red cloud appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

He heard two crisp bangs, and when he focused his eyes, the girl was still standing there with her hand on the young girl's fragrant shoulder. Her cloak was slightly fluttering in the wind, as if she hadn't moved yet.

On the left and right side of the young master's face, there was a bright red palm print as he stumbled and fell onto the black clad guards behind him.
