It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Secretly, it served as one of the bases for exchanging intelligence with Moyu Tower.

"Is this restaurant doing so well?"

The place was packed with customers!

It's a pity Xin Shuo isn't here, otherwise I wouldn't have had to pay.

Su Chen patted his pockets; the Xin family had been giving him a lot of money, both openly and secretly, during this period.

He's a completely different person now.

"Waiter, do you have a menu?"

Su Chen casually found a seat in the lobby, and was slightly taken aback when he looked at the prices on the menu.

"Are all the prices at your restaurant this cheap?"

"Haha, our boss is kind-hearted."

I don't earn much.

Vegetable prices haven't risen for a long time.

The waiter smiled, his expression full of pride.

It is an honor to work here.

Su Chen turned around and looked around. Only then did he realize that not many of the people eating here were dressed in rich clothes.

Poor scholars, commoners, and some people who seem to be from the lower class.

Su Chen didn't see any discrimination from the restaurant; on the contrary, they treated him with respect and equality.

No wonder your business is so booming.

Su Chen casually flipped through the page to the pastry section and immediately spotted the white sugar cake.

"Bring me a few of your best dishes!"

"And while you're at it... I'd like an order of white sugar cake."

In the game, this is one of Jiang Li's favorite pastries.

simple.

Sweet but not cloying.

While waiting for the food to be served, Su Chen looked around.

Every table in the hall was full of people, except for the table with the best view inside the hall, which had no customers at all.

It seems that it was deliberately left there.

"Sir, your dishes are all ready!"

Su Chen's dishes were served quickly, and the white sugar cake was tastier than expected.

Su Chen ate several in one go.

The other dishes were also quite delicious in their own way.

A perfect score for the quality, a three-point price, and a full-fledged service!

Moyu Tower... the stronghold of the Feather Guards, is it a place for charity work?

As Su Chen was enjoying his meal, a beautiful figure sat down at the best table.

Almost the instant the other person sat down, the shopkeeper personally carried over the freshly cooked white sugar cake with utmost respect.

"That person...doesn't he look familiar?"

Although Su Chen couldn't recall the other person's face, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with their expression and movements.

The other person seemed to notice Su Chen's gaze and looked up at him.

The moment their eyes met, Su Chen quickly lowered his head.

broken!

acquaintance!

How did Jiang Li end up here!

No wonder Su Chen always had a lingering sense of familiarity.

Jiang Li's disguise was entirely taught to her by Pei Yichen, who was also Su Chen himself!

In addition, after spending many years together, Su Chen was very familiar with Jiang Li's unintentional little actions.

Just as Su Chen was considering whether he should just pay the bill and leave.

Suddenly the light went out, and Jiang Li actually sat down directly across from him at the table!

Do you recognize me?

"You flatter me, young lady. I'm new to the capital, how could I possibly know anyone?"

However, I'd really like to get to know them.

Su Chen spoke to Jiang Li with what he thought was a bright smile.

Jiang Li's current disguise isn't that amazing.

With her natural beauty, Jiang Li is still considered pretty if she doesn't deliberately try to look ugly.

"is it?

"May I ask, sir, what is it about me that you like?"

Jiang Li stared at Su Chen. To her, Su Chen was somewhat different from those lecherous men.

This person was saying nonsensical things, but his actions showed a lot of nervousness.

This doesn't seem like his usual flirtatious manner.

"Haha, love at first sight!"

"Young Master, you only talk, but you don't take any action?"

"The food and drinks the girl ordered were all charged to me."

I have some things to attend to. If you have the chance, you can come find me here.

Su Chen left the address of the Xin family's business in the capital.

He never intended to give a fake address.

If Jiang Li wanted to find him, it would only take a single word.

It's better to face it than to cover it up.

A fake address might cause even more trouble.

"Shopkeeper, how much?"

"Fifty taels."

"What?!

Are you robbing me?

Su Chen glared at the other person; there weren't any expensive dishes on the menu!

It wouldn't cost this much to buy just one book!

"Didn't you just say that the girl's food and drinks were all on your end?"

She had just opened a jar of twenty-year-old vintage wine.

Su Chen: ....

What kind of lousy wine is this? It's been aged for so many years and it's still so cheap.

Su Chen didn't dare turn around to look at Jiang Li again, and hurriedly paid the bill and left.

If Su Chen stayed here any longer, he was afraid that his true identity would be revealed.

"Let's use that money, plus this sum, to help the people outside the city."

Jiang Li casually took out a piece of jewelry and handed it to Hui Yu beside her.

"Let's investigate his background a little."

His behavior seemed a bit strange.

Gray Feather accepted the order and silently disappeared into the crowd.

After finishing the white sugar cake, Jiang Li went straight to the second floor of the restaurant.

Jin Bufan had been waiting here for a long time. He was supposed to enter the palace, but he received a last-minute order to come here for a rendezvous.

"The Imperial Guards have already found out."

Xichen, Nanlang, and Beidi are united.

"Planning a surprise attack on the capital during the Lantern Festival!"

"Ha, they've suppressed their anger for twenty years, and now they're finally going to start a war?"

Jiang Li remained expressionless, but her eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The dynasty remained inactive for many years precisely because of the alliance between these three individuals, both openly and covertly.

Now, how dare they launch a sneak attack on the capital?

Do they really not take her, a grandmaster, seriously?

"Their actions this time seem very strange."

There weren't too many people, and they were all under the surveillance of the Imperial Guards.

Logically speaking, they wouldn't do something that's obviously a thankless task.

I suspect there might be something else behind this sneak attack.

Jin Bufan quickly shared his guess.

"Continue the investigation."
