After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Just as the two were eating and chatting, a noise coming from downstairs attracted their attention.

They looked over and saw a strong man beating an old man.

The old man curled up on the ground with blood coming from the corner of his mouth, looking very pitiful.

People around looked at him sideways, but no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze and said, "Let's go downstairs and take a look."

Gu Qingze shook his head and pulled the corner of his clothes, "Don't be impulsive, let's see what happens first. I don't believe that this restaurant has been open for so long and has no way to deal with this kind of thing."

At this time, the strong man stopped what he was doing and glared at everyone fiercely, "Who is meddling in other people's business? Even if you are fighting together, those who don't want to die, get out of the way."

At this moment, a waiter came over and said to the strong man with a smile: "Sir, calm down and talk nicely."

The sturdy man yelled, "Stop talking nonsense! This old man stained my clothes and he doesn't want to pay for it!"

The old man said in a trembling voice: "I... I have no money..."

The waiter looked at the old man, then at the strong man, thought for a while, and made a suggestion.

"But if you hit someone, your clothes won't get clean."

"How about this, Shilixiang is in need of someone, I'll let him do some odd jobs there, and then pay him some money. Your clothes only cost 300 Nebula Coins in the market, and I'll give them to you when I have enough money, how about that?"

The sturdy man thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it. He was also angry just now.

"Then I want to sign with him."

The waiter looked at the old man with a smile and carefully helped him up from the ground.

"What do you think of this approach?"

The old man coughed a few times and nodded. If it weren't for the waiter, he would have been beaten to death today.

"Great! Another conflict was resolved peacefully today!"

The waiter seemed to not care about what others thought and just celebrated on his own.

"This waiter is a little strange."

Chu Lingxiao said to Gu Qingze in a low voice.

"However, his way of handling the situation was indeed okay. Although it was not entirely fair, it did stop the conflict."

Gu Qingze commented like this. After all, if this happened in modern society, the person who beat someone up would definitely go to jail and pay for medical expenses. However, in this context, being able to handle it to this extent is already quite good.

Looking at another waiter who was watching the incident like them, with an envious look on his face, Chu Lingxiao grabbed him and asked in confusion.

"You seem very envious, why?"

"Oh," the waiter came back to his senses, "It's like this, sir. The owner of the "Shilixiang" restaurant has set a rule that if you can independently resolve conflicts in the restaurant and everyone around you thinks it is fair, you will be rewarded tenfold that month."

"However, I'm not that powerful. When I encounter something like this, I don't even dare to show up. I can only earn money through hard work."

The waiter envied others and sighed about his own lack of ambition.

Gu Qingze did not focus on this matter. He had just been watching the whole process of the incident and its resolution.

He noticed that before the waiter came out, a man in white had his sword slightly unsheathed. Only after the waiter resolved the matter did he put the sword back with confidence.

Because he was facing the man's back, Gu Qingze only felt vaguely that the man was inexplicably familiar... as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Qingze?"

Chu Lingxiao watched him suddenly stand up and go downstairs, and followed him helplessly.
