The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Mingyue Tower was located in the central area of Yunmeng City’s lower city district.

This tower was renowned in Yunmeng City not only because of its exceptional liquor and dishes, but also because it was directly operated by Lingxiu Pavilion, one of the four major powers in Yunmeng City.

Lingxiu Pavilion was also one of the major sects in the Qingzhou region.

What made Lingxiu Pavilion particularly popular among cultivators was that all its disciples were female, and they were all stunningly beautiful.

In the Qingzhou region, many cultivators considered it an honor to take a disciple of Lingxiu Pavilion as their Dao Companion.

Of course, in the cultivation world, physical appearance was just an added bonus.

Despite being an all-female sect, Lingxiu Pavilion was able to stand tall in the Qingzhou region, and its overall strength was even more impressive.

To maintain its position and avoid being coveted by other powers, Lingxiu Pavilion’s overall strength had to be superior to that of other sects like the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and the Spirit Sound Valley.

It was said that the current leader of Lingxiu Pavilion, Fairy Lingyun, had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and some even rumored that she had already entered the Soul Formation stage.

In the cultivation world, even Qi-refining Stage cultivators would often choose to fast, and when they decided to eat, they wouldn’t bother with meal times.

So, even though it was still early morning, Mingyue Tower was already bustling with people when Su Jingzhen and his group arrived.

The upcoming Alchemy Conference hosted by the Feng family had indeed attracted many cultivators from surrounding cities.

As a result, Yunmeng City was more lively than usual during this period.

Under the guidance of Mu Lao, the three of them directly ascended to the third floor of Mingyue Tower.

Here, even the lowest-ranking cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they had access to more comprehensive information.

They were lucky to find a window seat on the third floor as soon as they arrived.

Mu Lao invited them to sit down, then said with a generous tone, “As a senior, this meal is on me, so you two don’t need to be polite. Just order whatever you like.”

Mu Lao’s words made Su Jingzhen and Xuening feel that they didn’t need to be polite with him.

As a Nascent Soul old monster, Mu Lao’s wealth was certainly substantial, even if he usually followed Feng Qingya.

In Su Jingzhen’s view, being polite about a meal with a Nascent Soul old monster like Mu Lao would be disrespectful.

The two of them took a menu from the waiter and quickly scanned it, then started circling and ticking off dishes.

When Mu Lao saw the ten or so dishes Su Jingzhen had circled, his eyes widened in surprise.

He smiled and said, “Master Su, you don’t need to be polite. Although I’m not as wealthy as some other cultivators, I can still afford to treat you to a meal.”

The dishes Su Jingzhen had circled were mostly the cheapest options on the menu.

Mu Lao thought Su Jingzhen was trying to save spirit stones, as he knew that Su Jingzhen and Xuening had been struggling financially in the past.

Many cultivators from small towns were frugal with their spirit stones.

However, when Mu Lao said this, Su Jingzhen just smiled and nodded.

“A junior like me wouldn’t dare to be polite in front of a senior like you. It would be disrespectful.”

Su Jingzhen smiled at Mu Lao, then turned to the waiter, “Cancel all the dishes I circled earlier! Bring everything else on the menu!”

As soon as he said this, Mu Lao’s smile froze.

His face twitched, and the waiter, who had been looking down on Su Jingzhen, was now stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely exciting.

This customer was going to make their day!

The waiter’s eyes lit up, and he hastily confirmed, “Did you say… you want everything on the menu?”

Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you hear me clearly? Cancel the dishes I circled, and bring everything else.”

“Okay, okay, okay!”

The waiter hastily confirmed and then quickly disappeared, afraid that Su Jingzhen might change his mind.

This was Mingyue Tower, a direct affiliate of Lingxiu Pavilion, so they weren’t worried about Su Jingzhen and his group running out on the bill.

There had been many people who had tried to eat for free at Mingyue Tower before, but now, their graves should be overgrown with weeds.

“Ha ha, Master Mu said earlier that the chefs at Mingyue Tower are exceptional, and each dish has its own unique characteristics. The menu is so extensive that it’s hard to choose, so I thought, why not try everything?”

If Mu Lao’s cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t dare to be so extravagant. But opportunities to take advantage of a Nascent Soul old monster like Mu Lao were rare.

The dishes Su Jingzhen ordered would cost at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.

To be honest, this might be a slight burden for a Nascent Soul old monster like Mu Lao, but it was nothing significant.

Mu Lao’s smile twitched, and he said, “As it should be. We should indeed enjoy ourselves.”

Seeing the two of them conversing, Xuening’s smile was slightly forced.

As they waited for their food to arrive, Su Jingzhen and Xuening focused their attention on the conversations of the other cultivators on the same floor.

As Su Jingzhen had imagined, with Feng Qingya’s return yesterday, the topic of discussion at Mingyue Tower was indeed about Feng Qingya.

He didn’t even need to ask questions; the others would voluntarily share the information he wanted to know.

“What’s going on with Miss Feng Qingya of the Feng family? She escaped before, and now she’s back. Hasn’t the Feng family cut off all her resources for alchemy?”

“You’re not entirely right. Instead of saying she escaped, it’s more like the Feng and Tuoba families gave her some time. After all, she was in Linjiang City, not too far from here. With the abilities of the Feng and Tuoba families, it wouldn’t be difficult to capture her.”

“It’s said that the young master of the Tuoba family is quite fond of Miss Feng, and previously, she had rejected him. Normally, the Tuoba family would have already started to suppress the Feng family. But now, it’s said that the young master of the Tuoba family is personally holding back.”

Su Jingzhen and Xuening were both intelligent and perceptive, and after listening to just a few sentences, they already had a general understanding of the situation.

“Tuoba family… young master of the Tuoba family…”

Su Jingzhen thought to himself.

This seemed to be a crucial factor in Feng Qingya’s current predicament.

It looked like this was a key figure…
