Just then, Jiang Moqi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, why don't I give it a try? I have a way to skip the queuing process and take you all in directly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu, Qingyan, and the others stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Jiang Moqi, their minds filled with the same thought: "This guy is just a disabled person who wandered alone in the wilderness and almost got robbed. What good ideas could he possibly have?"

Especially when Jiang Moqi noticed that Jiang Shiliu was also looking at him with that suspicious gaze, he suddenly felt as if a wad of cotton was stuck in his chest, extremely frustrated. No, he absolutely couldn't let little Shiliu look down on him like this! No matter what, he had to get revenge on her today!!!

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Jiang Moqi slowly raise the small pendant he had been playing with since the beginning of their journey. After he injected a trace of extremely weak spiritual energy into it, the originally inconspicuous little pendant instantly burst into a dazzling blue-purple light.

As the light gradually faded, Jiang Moqi smiled slightly and slowly said, "Alright, we can wait here for a while. Before long, someone will come to welcome us inside."

Standing to the side, Jiang Shiliu frowned, her face full of worry. She took a few light steps, squatted down, and looked at Jiang Moqi with concern. She asked softly, "Young Master Jiang, are you still feeling unwell? If so, please tell me, and I will do my best to heal you!"

Jiang Moqi looked bewildered upon hearing this. He blinked and looked at Jiang Shiliu with confusion, replying, "Miss Jiang, I am perfectly fine! Thanks to the miraculous medicine you bestowed upon me, I feel much better after taking it."

However, Jiang Shiliu was not relieved. She was still worried and continued to ask, "Then why did you speak so recklessly just now? Did you accidentally hurt your head?" As she spoke, her beautiful eyes never left Jiang Moqi's face, for fear of missing any subtle changes.

Jiang Moqi was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "!!! Is this even possible?! So Xiao Shiliu thinks I'm a crazy person who talks nonsense! Tsk, isn't this just saying I'm stupid?! It's really ridiculous!" Thinking of this, Jiang Moqi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.

However, things took an unexpected turn for the better. Just as they were filled with doubt and thought they wouldn't get any dinner that night, a surprising scene unfolded—someone actually came to escort them into "Baiweizhai." Even more unexpectedly, the person who came was none other than the manager of "Baiweizhai" himself!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shiliu, Qingyan, and the others all widened their eyes, their faces showing disbelief. Three question marks simultaneously popped into their minds, their heads filled with questions: "???"

The shopkeeper rushed over and immediately spotted Jiang Moqi, who was sitting in a wheelchair and being jostled by the crowd. His face instantly filled with concern and anxiety. He took three steps at a time and rushed to Jiang Moqi, muttering, "Master, why did you come out alone? Isn't Protector An with you? And he's made you stand in line here. What kind of behavior is this!" His words were full of worry for Jiang Moqi's safety and dissatisfaction with the situation.

Jiang Moqi, on the other hand, seemed quite calm, smiling and waving his hand, saying, "It's nothing, don't make a fuss. I was able to return safely this time thanks to these people." As he spoke, he pointed to Jiang Shiliu and the others beside him.

Then, Jiang Moqi added, "They are the cultivators who saved my life on the road; they are all my benefactors. So, starting today, all their meals will be free. Also, remember to register this Miss Jiang later; from now on, she will be a VIP at our 'Hundred Flavors Restaurant.'" As he said this, the corners of Jiang Moqi's mouth turned up slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Shiliu and her companions were thus led into the incredibly luxurious VVIP room on the top floor, completely bewildered. As soon as they sat down, everyone looked at each other blankly, as if they had not yet recovered from what had just happened.

At this moment, Qingyan broke the silence first and said to Jiang Shiliu, "Junior Sister, you have really done a great service this time! You actually saved such an important person! You even managed to rescue the owner of 'Baiweizhai'. Your luck is simply incredible!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu was first taken aback, then responded as if waking from a dream, "Second Senior Brother, can I take back what I said before about wanting to poison the person behind this restaurant? I never expected that the big boss behind it would be a disabled person! And just now, on the way here, through my brief conversation with him, I deeply felt his extremely outstanding business acumen. It seems that we really misunderstood him before!" After saying this, Jiang Shiliu's face showed an incredulous expression, as if he still found this astonishing discovery somewhat hard to accept.

"Oh dear, what a pity! This young master Jiang is incredibly talented, and he's also incredibly wealthy and powerful! It's just a shame... he suffers from a leg ailment." Mo Yuchen said, shaking his head with a look of regret, as if he were looking at a priceless treasure covered in dust.

Just then, Jiang Shiliu, who had initially been shocked by Jiang Moqi's identity, calmly and rationally said, "Well, that's life! If someone is handsome, talented, has endless wealth, and possesses unfathomable cultivation, wouldn't they outshine everyone else? Even someone with incredible luck can't have everything go smoothly and without obstacles! So, heaven is always fair; it gives you some things and takes away others as a balance." After saying this, Jiang Shiliu slightly raised her chin, a wise glint in her eyes.

However, Jiang Shiliu, who said these words to comfort herself, was soon proven wrong...
