The subsequent assessment would only be made after everyone had finished.
Niannian and Shen Weixun returned relatively early, so they had to go back and wait for the notice.
After coming down the mountain, they were extremely hungry. The three of them had been tossing around in the illusory realm for so long that they could barely hold on.
Especially Xiaotuanzi (Niannian). As the one who loved to eat the most, after being hungry for so long, her stomach was already growling.
They casually found a restaurant. At this moment, they couldn't be picky. Coincidentally, they passed by a private - dining restaurant. It was decorated in a classical and elegant style, seemingly a very good place to dine.
"These, these, and these. Thank you, sister."
Niannian took the menu, pointed at a few dishes that looked delicious, drooling as she spoke.
The waitress was amused by this little glutton's appearance. Bending down, she took back the menu and said gently with a smile, "Okay, little one. The dishes will be served soon."
"Okay!"
The waitress sister was quite kind - looking, and Niannian liked her. She nodded repeatedly.
"The drinks over there are free. You can go and get them by yourself, little one. There's also ice - cream."
Before leaving, the sister pointed to a place.
Kids, after all, couldn't resist the temptation of sweets, and Niannian was no exception.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the ice - cream. Without a second thought, she jumped off the stool and went to get it.
Just as she finished getting the ice - cream, Niannian remembered her third senior brother sitting over there and the newly - met classmate, Xiaoming. Silently, she changed her direction and walked towards the freezer again.
She wanted to get some drinks for them too.
The freezer was located at the entrance of the restaurant. Niannian picked up the bottles and stood up. As soon as she turned around, she bumped into a man face - to - face.
The ice - cream got on the man's pants.
Niannian looked up and was about to speak when she heard the woman beside the man start to question angrily, "What's wrong with you? Are you blind? Don't you know you've bumped into someone?"
"I... I..."
Niannian felt a bit wronged. It was clearly this uncle who had bumped into her. Why was this aunt so fierce?
The commotion made by Niannian caught Shen Weixun's attention immediately. He rushed over.
Classmate Xiaoming also came over enthusiastically.
He picked up Niannian and looked at the two people in front of them coldly, asking, "What's going on?"
The woman who had been scolding just now sized up Shen Weixun and then glanced at Meng Xiaoming.
The invisible pressure exuded by Shen Weixun was too strong. Subconsciously, the woman felt that if things really got out of hand, the ones who wouldn't get the upper hand definitely wouldn't be Shen Weixun and the others.
The woman trusted her intuition. She rolled her eyes at Shen Weixun and mumbled quietly, "Idiot."
Then she dragged the man beside her and quickly walked into the restaurant.
If a dog bites a person, the person can't bite the dog back, right?
Niannian and Shen Weixun always ignored such unreasonable people.
Seeing that the other party stopped causing trouble, Shen Weixun was about to leave with Niannian.
But at this moment, the man spoke up, "Hey, it's okay. A little bump is nothing serious. My woman doesn't know how to talk. Please forgive us."
The man spoke in a very strange Mandarin. He looked rather vulgar, with small, shrewd eyes that would occasionally leer at Wang Xiaoya. He was short and as thin as a monkey, while the woman beside him was beautiful and fashionable. It was hard to imagine that they were a couple.
"If you really thought she didn't know how to talk, you wouldn't have waited until now to speak."
The man's little scheme was mercilessly exposed by Shen Weixun, but the man didn't get angry.
He just looked at them with a smile.
Shen Weixun could easily guess the man's motive.
It was because of the high - end custom - made clothes he and Niannian were wearing.
He never hid the fact that he was rich. He gave Niannian whatever he had, so there was no need to hide it.
The idea of attracting danger by showing off wealth simply didn't exist for them.
Anyone with bad intentions towards them was basically looking for death.
This man looked so vulgar, but the clothes he was wearing were all genuine high - end items. He was clearly a man who had seen the world. Only speaking now to play the good - guy card, it was highly likely that he had seen that they were also refined and extraordinary.
Shen Weixun didn't want to talk to him. He directly led Niannian away.
The man didn't pester them self - destructively.
Not long after they were seated, the dishes were served. Niannian dug in greedily. Xiaoming, who loved the excitement, kept his eyes busy.
After a while, he said in great surprise, "Hey, look over there!"
Niannian and Shen Weixun instinctively looked in that direction.
They saw that the man they had met at the door earlier was sitting with the woman they had quarreled with on his left, and another woman had appeared on his right at some point. She seemed to be very close to the man.
"What's wrong?"
Niannian stared at them with innocent big eyes, not understanding what was going on.
Was there anything strange?
"Something is missing from these two people."
Shen Weixun's face looked rather solemn.
Niannian, who had originally not paid much attention to the man, suddenly felt something was wrong while eating. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Third senior brother, the big sisters beside him smell so nice."
"Nice? What kind of nice smell? Perfume?"
Meng Xiaoming was puzzled.
"No, it's the smell of spiritual energy. How could a human have the smell of spiritual energy? It's so strange..."
Xiaotuanzi explained casually. Pouting, she nibbled on her chopsticks and murmured.
"Don't meddle in other people's business. They're not good people. Hurry up and eat."
Shen Weixun always believed in minding his own business and didn't want to investigate further.
Niannian thought about it and realized he was right.
Spiritual energy wasn't something harmful. There was no need to interfere. So she buried her head and started eating.
After they were full, the three of them were about to leave contentedly when the man they had bumped into walked over and blocked their way out.
The man took out a piece of paper from his pocket, quickly wrote down a string of numbers, and handed it to Shen Weixun, saying, "Kid, I'm sorry about what happened just now. This is my business card. I'll definitely invite you guys to dinner to apologize when I have time."
After saying that, the man also raised his hand to touch his hair, deliberately showing his Rolex watch and a Rolls - Royce car key. Then he walked away arrogantly.
This whole operation was just too strange.
"Third senior brother, a ghost got off her and is now behind us."
Niannian reminded in a low voice. Then the two of them turned around together and saw a very fierce ghost following them. The ghost was covered in black mist, with its head down and floating in the air. Its long black hair covered its face, making it impossible to see its appearance.
"Don't tremble. Say, what are you here for?"
Niannian questioned in a tone like interrogating a criminal.
The aura on Niannian was too strong for the ghost. No wonder this ghost was afraid.
Shen Weixun stroked Niannian's head, reminding her to pay attention to the surroundings.
It was ten o'clock at night. There were still some pedestrians taking a walk around. Seeing Niannian talking to thin air, they all cast curious and inquisitive looks.
