Looking at Wanwan who was dressed like a young Confucian scholar, Chu Ming said proudly, "Of course we are going to the Chu Family Restaurant."
Although two years have passed, Hedong City is still bustling with people and flourishing.
Although the young master was not in the city, it did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm at all.
When they arrived at the Chu Family Restaurant, they discovered that not to mention the private rooms, even the lobby had no room. With the exposure of Chu Ming's identity, Chu Family Restaurant has become a holy place in the hearts of everyone. Whether they are locals or foreign guests, they are proud to enter Chu Family Restaurant to dine.
There are even more people who want to take the opportunity to get to know Fu Bo, but how can they easily do so.
And due to Uncle Fu's insistence, the Chu Family Restaurant did not expand in size and kept its original appearance, so the reception capacity was also limited.
Seeing this spectacular scene of huge crowds of people, not only Chu Ming, but also all the girls retreated.
Just as they were walking outside, Chu Ming spotted a familiar figure.
"Zhou Ruli?"
"Yes, it's him. After Tiangong unified the Eastern Region, he declined the invitation from the Catcher Division and returned to his hometown. Unexpectedly, he would appear here."
Shen Luoyan told Zhou Ruli's situation in detail.
"Cai Ru, the leader of the Southern Territory Heart Fist Sect, is now an active member of the Southern Territory Sect."
Then the appearance of an old man made things more interesting.
"Did they make an appointment?"
Mu Wanqing asked with some confusion.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, you'll find out if you follow me."
Zhao Min looked eager to try.
Chu Ming's consciousness swept over and found that the two of them had indeed entered the same private room on the second floor.
"Go to Uncle Fu and ask him to give us the private room next door."
When Chu Ming glanced around, he naturally discovered that there were no guests in the private room on Zhou Ruli's left.
He knew that this was Fu Bo's habit. He would not book all the private rooms, but always set aside a private room for emergencies.
Driven by the powerful human gossip psychology, Wanwan and others all looked excited.
It was rare for him to come out to relax, so Chu Ming simply went to fool around with them.
After a while, the waiter from the restaurant took them to the private room on the second floor.
As he was notified by the young master, Fu Bo did not come forward to receive him in person.
After Chu Ming and his party entered the private room, they heard the sound of changing cups and cups in the next room.
Zhong Huahua, the lowest among them, is also a Martial Emperor warrior, so the movements next door cannot be hidden from their eyes and ears. Chu Ming actually admired Zhou Ruli quite a lot, and the Zhou family also made a lot of contributions when they first pacified the Northeast Region.
So he really didn't want him to make a mistake.
"Thank you Sect Master Cai for your kindness, but a dog is too stupid to be worthy of such a master."
"Does Master Zhou look down on the Heart Fist Sect or me?"
Cai Ru didn't expect that Zhou Ruli would reject him first, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Sect Master Cai misunderstood. It's our Zhou family who is the one who is so high-ranking. Your condescension has moved the Zhou family so much. How could you not appreciate it? It's really out of self-restraint."
The Heart Fist Sect is a third-grade sect, and the current sect leader personally accepts disciples.
But Zhou Ruli knew how his son's qualifications could attract the attention of such a person.
Although he didn't know what the other party was up to, the Heart Fist Sect was not someone his little Zhou family could afford to offend.
So even if he rejected the other party, Zhou Ruli kept his attitude very low and tried not to offend Cai Ru.
Seeing his attitude, Cai Ru felt better.
He didn't expect that the kindness he released would be rejected by Zhou Ruli.
If this wasn't Hedong City, he would have wanted to kill Zhou Ruli. A little martial artist dared to go against his wishes. He really didn't want his life to be long.
Zhou Ruli saw that Cai Ru's expression softened a little, and then she said cautiously, "If it's not absolutely necessary, I wouldn't dare to reveal this secret easily."
"What is the secret of the Zhou family?"
"The leading disciple of the Zhou family was strictly ordered to leave the Northeast Region."
"Whose order?"
Zhou Ruli didn't speak, but pointed upward.
But Cai Ru understood what he meant instantly.
"So that's it. It's Meng Lang, our sect leader. Let's put this matter to rest."
"Thank you Sect Leader Cai for your magnanimity. If you are asked, the Zhou family will do their best."
"This Zhou Ruli is really smart. Tiangong has never taken any measures to restrict the Zhou family."
Shen Luoyan was full of praise for his reaction.
"He actually knows how to use the banner of Tiangong to intimidate the Heart Fist Sect. He is very courageous."
"No one has mentioned the word "Tiangong".
Chu Ming was the first to refute Zhao Min's statement.
At this moment, Cai Ru's voice came from next door again.
"I heard that the head of the Zhou family has a close personal relationship with Zhuge Shenhou. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to visit the Shenhou."
After the greeting stage was over, Cai Ru stopped being polite and took the initiative to reveal his true purpose.
Zhou Ruli also realized at this time that the other party really had other intentions, and the so-called recruitment of disciples was just an excuse.
"My dealings with the Lord Shen are all official, and there is no personal interaction. To say that we have a deep friendship is purely flattering."
"And I have been living in seclusion for many years. I wonder if Lord Zhuge still remembers me."
Chu Ming and others could tell that Zhou Ruli carefully considered every word to avoid completely offending Cai Ru.
"But I can try to contact the God Catcher here. There is really no way to contact the Shenhou between me."
After listening to the first half of Zhou Ruli's words, Cai Ru's face was already gloomy and almost dripping with water, but he relaxed a little after hearing the last part.
"Then I'll just wait for the good news from Master Zhou. I will stay in Hedong City for a while so that I can feel the aura of Master Shengwei up close."
"I believe that Master Zhou will not let me down."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Ruli's reply, he opened the private room door and left, leaving Zhou Ruli alone in the private room sighing.
Chu Ming did not show up to meet Zhou Ruli. The latter had already made his attitude clear when he resigned from all positions and insisted on returning to his countryside.
Because he was not optimistic about the struggle between Tiangong and Wuliang Holy Land, and was afraid that it would eventually affect the Zhou family, he decided to draw a clear line with Tiangong.
Chu Ming asked Xu Zhu to secretly remove his "life and death talisman" at that time, just to let this "smart man" witness the result of his choice with his own eyes.
However, due to the passage of time, Chu Ming himself had forgotten about this incident and did not expect to see such a scene in Hedong City.
"Cleverness leads to mistakes. At that time, the two families similar to the Zhou family were already the top families in the Northeast Region, but he was still just the King of Martial Arts."
Shen Luoyan naturally knew what happened back then, and knew that Chu Ming actually admired Zhou Ruli, but it was a pity that the latter failed to seize this opportunity.
Since they did not intend to participate in this matter, Chu Ming and others walked towards the Chu Mansion after dinner.
Just around the corner of the mansion, I found that it was filled with smoke. Although it was very late, there were still many believers kneeling in the direction of the Chu Mansion, and each of them had incense candles lit in front of them.
"It seems that you don't need to bother to break through to the realm of the God of War, you can become a god instantly."
Seeing this situation, Wanwan couldn't help laughing at Chu Ming in a low voice, and the others couldn't help laughing either.
Facing such a scene, Chu Ming also felt helpless.
He didn't like the actions of the people, and he once asked the God Catcher to dissuade them, but it couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
After a period of accumulation, we can only let it go.
Fortunately, the Chu Mansion was protected by formations and formed its own small world, otherwise the mansion would definitely be filled with the smell of incense and candles.
Uncle Fu has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. He has not been seen for two years. He is already an innate warrior. It seems that the efficacy of Polygonum multiflorum essence and blood is still beyond expectations.
"There must be a lot of people who want to get through your door in the past two years."
"Young Master made me laugh. Now I only dare to get together with the shopkeepers I know well in the past. I don't see any strangers."
Uncle Fu naturally knew the intentions of those who wanted to approach him. Even many of the families who moved to Hedong City had his intentions in mind.
Uncle Fu had an indifferent temperament and didn't like these utilitarian interactions, so he simply set his circle to be based on regular customers in the past and excluded all newcomers.
"Uncle Fu is also very interesting. He doesn't like fame and fortune, but all his friends around him are businessmen."
In response to Zhao Min's ridicule, Uncle Fu also responded respectfully, "Old slave runs a restaurant, and the ones he interacts with the most are these shopkeepers. It's too late to change now."
"Among the people who want to get close to you recently, is there anyone special?"
Uncle Fu knew that Chu Ming would never do anything meaningless, so since he asked a question, he would definitely point out something.
"In terms of specialness, the newly moved head of the Zhou family is one."
After hearing what Uncle Fu said, everyone showed expressions that it was indeed true.
"The Zhou family should be considered the first family to move in. Patriarch Zhou is also very diligent in his efforts to get to know the old slave."
Even though Zhou Ruli tried his best, he didn't know that all his activities were under the surveillance of the God-catching Guard, so his plan was naturally ineffective.
"Master, is he an old acquaintance of yours?"
"Old acquaintances don't count, we have dealt with each other before."
Regarding the relationship between the two, Chu Ming brushed it off, and Uncle Fu stopped asking further questions.
"If you can't stand this disturbance, you might as well go to live in the Heavenly Palace."
"Master, don't worry about this old slave. I'm still here guarding the restaurant and the old house. I'm not used to other places."
Seeing how persistent he was, Chu Ming naturally wouldn't force him.
After everyone talked for a while, Uncle Fu also stayed in the mansion to rest. After the expansion, the Chu Mansion was much larger. After breakfast the next day, Chu Ming lay on the rocking chair and continued to bask in the sun. That comfortable and leisurely mood enveloped his whole body.
Because of this relaxed mentality, he did not rush to start concentrating the flying knives, but began to summarize the experience accumulated in the past two years.
First of all, polishing soul skills can only be done slowly and carefully without any impatience. This is what troubles Chu Ming the most.
