When Lin Yuan turned around, he found the person calling him was Ling Wu, who had brought him to meet Ling Xiao in Redbud City.
Ling Wu quickly took two steps forward and said, “Lord Lin Yuan, are you here to eat at the Spirit Food Pavilion?”
Lin Yuan nodded and did not have the strength to criticize how Ling Wu addressed him. He smiled and looked at Chu Ci before answering, “I’m here to have a meal with my sister.”
Ling Wu looked at Chu Ci and could not help but feel his heart thumping. As Ling Xiao’s subordinate officer, even though Ling Wu did not know why Ling Xiao had brought Lin Yuan to the Royal Capital, based on Ling Xiao’s attitude toward Lin Yuan, he knew that Lin Yuan had an extraordinary background.
Thus, he hurriedly said, “Lord Lin Yuan, your sister is a Redbud Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy student? At noon, the principal will also be present in the private room on the Spirit Food Pavilion’s third floor. Why don’t both of you go there?”
Lin Yuan shook his head. “I’ll just have a good meal with my sister, so I won’t be going.”
Upon hearing that, Ling Wu nodded and did not speak further. He took his leave and went into the Spirit Food Pavilion.
Chu Ci looked at Lin Yuan and said, “Lord Lin Yuan?”
Lin Yuan looked at her and replied, “Lordess Chu Ci, please speak your mind.”
Chu Ci was a little shocked. Based on Ling Wu’s words, although she knew that Lin Yuan was very formidable, she did not expect him to be doing so well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNonetheless, she was not too surprised. When she had seen Lin Yuan talking to Elder Ning in the Creation Master Association, she had already been surprised.
Even if Ling Wu was City Lordess Ling Xiao’s subordinate officer, he was incomparable to Elder Ning, the Creation Master Association’s Vice President.
Lin Yuan had rejected Ling Wu because, in his opinion, Chu Ci just needed to rely on her own talent and strength.
Earning respect with strength would earn one dignity.
It was just like when Cheng Rui was conferred as the top Creation Master of the younger generation and named as ‘Tribunal Sun’ when he was at Class 2.
Perhaps, those who were not within the Creation Masters’ circle would feel envious. Still, based on Long Tao’s attitude toward Cheng Rui, Lin Yuan knew that Cheng Rui, who had earned the title of being a genius by fame alone and not strength, was nothing more than a clown in the eyes of the true geniuses.
After all, in a world where martial arts were respected, strength was the foundation of everything.
Lin Yuan hoped that Chu Ci could later embark on a path full of splendor.
Everyone had free will, but in the end, the only answer was the righteous way of life.
When they entered the Spirit Food Pavilion, they saw the decorations inside had ancient elegance. Deep mellow zither music played, just like Rain Pattering on the Banana Leaves1. The zither sound was tranquil and gave people a comfortable feeling of shunning the world.
Even though Lin Yuan had lived two lives, he also had to sigh.
The Spirit Food Pavilion had almost reached the point of being impeccable from its exquisite decoration alone.
Lin Yuan and Chu Ci did not go to the private room upstairs. Instead, they sat down in the hall where there were many diners around them.
Although eating in the bustling hall was not as quiet as in the private room, there was the fragrance of food.
Lin Yuan pushed the menu to Chu Ci, who looked at the prices and pushed it back to him. She said, “Lin Yuan, this place is really too expensive! Why don’t we go to another place? The barbecued fish place you took me to last time was super delicious.”
Lin Yuan rubbed the hair on her head and handed the menu back. “I have money now. I can afford whatever you like.”
Chu Ci took a very long time but only ordered two seafood stew made with Bronze ingredients.
Lin Yuan took the menu and ordered several dishes made from Silver ingredients according to Chu Ci’s liking.
Although the Steamed Fish with Chilli Pepper was made with Silver ingredients, the chili peppers were Gold ingredients.
Chu Ci looked at Lin Yuan worriedly, afraid that he would overspend on this meal and cause him to be money-tight afterward.
He could understand her thoughts. After all, they had been frugal for over ten years. However, he wanted to change her way of thinking. They had to be frugal when they had no money, but now that he had money, it would be a waste not to spend it.
At that moment, the dishes they ordered were served one by one. While the service staff was serving them, they heard a little girl around five or six years old at a nearby table ask, “Mom, if the little frog doesn’t return home, will its mother be worried?”
The middle-aged woman at her side was clearly her mother. She was taking the braised bullfrog dish when the little girl asked that question, causing her hands to freeze in the air. She felt awkward and did not know how to answer her.
Then, the service staff who served Lin Yuan hurriedly went forward to relieve the situation and said, “It won’t. They’re all here.”

He could see that Chu Ci was happily eating this meal made from spiritual ingredients. Upon sensing how she was, he also ate a lot more than before.
Even though it was Lin Yuan’s first time at the Spirit Food Pavilion, he always felt that the taste was familiar, as though he had tasted them in the past.
After the meal, Lin Yuan booked two months of set meals made from Silver spiritual ingredients for Chu Ci. Given Chu Ci’s current rank, she was most suited to eat such food.
After that, he brought her to the Treasure Pavilion in Redbud City and bought a huge batch of metal spiritual ingredients and energy nectar that the Fantasy Breed Obsidian Iron Wild Bull and Vajra Butterly needed to regularly eat, respectively.
After this purchase, Lin Yuan found that if he used a low-grade fey storage box to store so many spiritual ingredients, it would be inconvenient for Chu Ci. Thus, he ordered a custom Diamond fey storage box from Ostrich Logistics for her.
Although Lin Yuan knew that it was very expensive, he did not expect such an outrageous price. If not for Cheng Wu’s Radiance dollars, he really could not afford the Diamond fey storage box.
Lin Yuan deliberately did not evolve the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull into Silver because Bronze Fantasy Breed feys were more reflective of their talents.
Since Chu Ci was going to pursue the route of a genius, then she would have to go until the end!
Lin Yuan had accomplished his goal of coming to meet Chu Ci. Then, he discreetly gave the bottle of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar to Chu Ci and said, “Chu Ci, this Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar can cleanse the impurities in your body and raise your potential. Drink all of it, and you can cleanse all the impurities in your body at once.”
Seeing Lin Yuan speak so solemnly, Chu Ci remembered his words. Even though she did not know what the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar was, it must be something extraordinary if it could cleanse the impurities in the body and raise her potential.
Ever since Lin Yuan had left last time, Chu Ci had applied for the school’s single dormitory so that she could have enough private space to better improve her strength. When she returned to the dorm, she would first drink all the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
After sending Chu Ci back to school, Lin Yuan went to meet City Lordess Ling Xiao. She and Elder Ning were considered experts who had helped Lin Yuan, so he respected them both very much.
Before he left Redbud City after doing that, he called his master, the Moon Empress.
