I played the role of a cannon fodder scumbag, but I was the heartthrob

"I don't want it." Hua Jingmian refused decisively, "Master, let's go upstairs and take a look."

Ye Zhao didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.

The two continued to walk upstairs, passing by some wealthy and noble guests.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the top floor, which was a place that sold weapons for monks only.

The clerk was about to introduce some newly manufactured rare weapons to Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao had anticipated this and spoke first, "Please assemble them for me according to the instructions here."

Take out a piece of paper.

The clerk took it with both hands, glanced at it, and a smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"No problem, please wait a moment." After saying that, the clerk called over another clerk wearing a hat and the same gray clothes, "Please entertain the two of you well."

The guy's face was rosy and shiny, and he always had a professional smile on his face. "Okay, leave it to me."

"The second floor has a wide variety of fine wines and food prepared specifically for our distinguished guests. If you're not in a hurry, you can enjoy your meal while you wait." The waiter said politely, "It will take some time for these things you requested. We'll arrange them right away. Please wait."

Accustomed to the rules here, Ye Zhao nodded and went downstairs with Hua Jingmian under the guidance of the waiter.

When we got to the second floor, there were only two tables of people dining there.

They chose a spot near the lotus pond. Just as they sat down, before they could even see how many koi were in the water, a cool breeze blew.

"Order whatever you want."

When the waiter handed them two copies of the menu, Ye Zhao spoke.

Hua Jingmian's eyes lit up, "Then I won't be polite."

When I looked at the menu and saw the prices, I was really surprised.

Even the hands that were flipping through the menu became clumsy.

After looking for a while, he ordered a few cheap vegetarian dishes.

Ye Zhao, on the other hand, went against his usual behavior and ordered some of the best signature dishes here and asked for a pot of wine.

The waiter ordered a few words and then went to ask the kitchen to prepare.

"Master, can your wallet handle it?" At this moment, the prices on the menu made Hua Jingmian look embarrassed, so he lowered his voice and asked with concern.

Ye Zhao's porcelain-white fingers tapped lightly on the table. "If you buy weapons here, you can eat for free. If you feel you're losing out, you can eat more."

Hearing the word "free", Hua Jingmian sat up straight from his depressed posture, "Is this really possible?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid I can't eat much. It's up to you."

"Master, don't worry. I'll take care of it." Hua Jingmian promised immediately.

Ye Zhao smiled but said nothing.

"Master, I really won't let you spend any money, right?" Hua Jingmian asked again worriedly.

Ye Zhao nodded, "No."

"That's good." Hua Jingmian's lips curled up slightly, but his bright eyes dimmed a little.

He already owed his master a lot of debts, and if this time was included, he would have to pay it back forever.

No, it seems I still have to do some small business.

He doesn't want to go through the days of asking others for money again.

Ye Zhao seemed to understand something, but not quite. In the end, he said nothing and cast a facial blurring spell on his face.

Behind every protagonist, there is always a sad past. I understand.

When all the dishes were served, three people walked in.

The woman in the middle wears a sword at her waist, a purple shirt, and a firm expression on her brow.

It flew around the house for a while and then landed on Ye Zhao, shining brightly.

"Disciple Yu Yanran, I pay my respects to my uncle-master."

The woman in the middle recognized Ye Zhao by the jade pendant on his waist and strode over to greet him.

As if he had just discovered Hua Jingmian, he said reluctantly, "Hello, Junior Brother Hua."

"Hello, Senior Sister Yu." Hua Jingmian stood up and responded.

After saying this, the two of them looked away with disgust.

It was as if they owed each other a small goal.

The reason is very simple. Both sides can't stand the other party being attentive to Jiang Zhaoyue.

When Ye Zhao logged into his secondary account, he witnessed them arguing over him, almost coming to blows, and he was no longer surprised.

The two people on the left and right behind looked at each other, thought of something, and then stepped forward and bowed.

"Mingxi Immortal."

Ye Zhao was not surprised to see Yu Yanran, but he admitted that he had a headache when he saw the two men following her.

He stood up and nodded in return, "Master Dugu, Master Chu."

Then he introduced them to Hua Jingmian, "Jingmian, these two are friends who grew up with Miss Jiang. This one is Jingmian, my disciple, Miss Jiang's junior fellow apprentice."

Hearing this, Hua Jingmian's scattered heart suddenly tightened.

"Mr. Hua, nice to meet you." Mr. Dugu was the first to greet him.

Hua Jingmian's eyes showed a vigilant look, "Hello."

Then, his inquiring gaze fell on Ye Zhaohe and the others.

"Uncle-master, I have something to report to you. Can we go together?" Yu Yanran asked with her cheeks slightly flushed.

She has always been carefree, but now she has become like this, which has attracted everyone's attention.

Ye Zhao, who was always casual, agreed and said, "Sit down."

Yu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with them.

She called the waiter, ordered a few more dishes, and said that the meal would be her treat.

Dugu Xing and Chu Ye saw that this was not going to work and said they would treat everyone.

In the end, Ye Zhao said that he would treat them, and if they felt it was not right, they could take turns inviting them back next time, and that was when they gave up.

All the dishes were served, the wine was opened and poured into each person's white porcelain cup one by one, and the waiter tactfully withdrew.

"Uncle, our master came down the mountain with us for training this time. He heard some news along the way, so he separated from me." Yu Yan said seriously, "Master asked me to pass on a message. During this time, I'll trouble you to handle everything at Chunhua Peak."

As he spoke, he took out a square wooden box and pushed it in front of him.

Ye Zhao could see the recording stone inside the box through his spiritual power, and the content recorded in it was the same as what Yu Yanran said.

He raised his hand to take the wooden box. "Since it's Senior Sister who asked me to do so, I have no choice but to do it. But did she say what it was about or when she would be back?"

"Master didn't tell me what it was, so I don't know. I guess I won't be back until Junior Sister Jiang's birthday in May."

"She asked me to take good care of Junior Sister Jiang. I don't know how she is doing now."

Speaking of this, Yu Yanran was worried.

She really likes being with Junior Sister Jiang, but it's a pity that she can't go down the mountain with her for training this time.

I can only try to finish the task and go back early.

Ye Zhao fell into deep thought.

What on earth was it that made Feng Qingwu go there in person?

"Oh right, Uncle Master, Master Dugu is going back to Jiugongmen with us this time. Regarding the engagement between Master Dugu and Miss Jiang..."

"puff!"

Hua Jingmian, the foodie, suddenly heard these words and sprayed all the wine he had drunk onto the ground behind him.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ye Zhao's reaction was no less than his. He choked on the tea he was swallowing in shock.
