The End of Ten Days: When Qi Xia Enters the Tales of Rules

The waiter was so frightened by the Aries that he begged for mercy.

The audience was puzzled.

"Where did this waiter lie? I didn't see it coming from."

"Could there be something wrong with the menu, and Aries noticed something?"

……

Lin Yi pondered silently to himself.

He didn't know much about Aries' personality.

Because in the book, it is only described through Yan Zhichun's memories.

Aries inherited Qi Xia's intelligence, and it seems he even has a bit more practical skills.

When the humans and rats were being bullied, Aries led the students to beat the Earth Serpent half to death.

Moreover, he seemed to disregard the earth dragon in charge, and was always tempted to challenge the earth dragon to a duel.

While I was pondering this.

Aries asked the two, "What would you like to eat?"

Guo Jing quickly said, "Oh, we won't eat. We're not that hungry."

Aries pointed to the waiter and said, "It's okay, it's his treat anyway."

The waiter looked at Aries with some confusion, as if to say: No, bro, when did I say I was treating?

Moreover, the prices at this restaurant are outrageously expensive; he can't afford to hire even a lowly waiter.

Aries smiled and looked at the waiter: "You're confused, aren't you?"

The waiter nodded blankly.

Aries said, "It's simple. The prices of the dishes don't match your status. How much do you earn in a month?"

The waiter blurted out, "Three thousand."

Aries smiled slightly: "You stole this menu, didn't you? Whether we order or not, we've already fallen into your trap."

"If we order food, we'll definitely be punished because we can't afford the high prices."

"If we don't order, we'll be breaking the restaurant's rules. Let me think... when you handed me this menu, a service charge was already incurred, wasn't it?"

"So whether we order food or not, we'll ultimately be punished for not being able to pay."

The waiter pointed at Aries with some alarm: "You...how did you know?"

Aries glanced at the waiter's feet and said, "Your shoes give you away."

What happened to my leather shoes?

"Your leather shoes look secondhand, and there's something wrong with your suit too."

Upon hearing Aries's words, everyone's eyes turned to the waiter's leather shoes and suit.

The leather shoes were a bit old, that's true, but the suit was fine.

However, since this is a world of ghost stories, wearing old-fashioned clothes doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Aries added, "What really exposes your weakness is your tie."

"What's wrong with my tie?"

The waiter touched his tie, utterly puzzled.

The audience also hurriedly looked at the waiter's tie, and apart from being a bit ugly, they couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Aries touched his tie, flicked his suit jacket, and said quietly, "See? This is the standard way a successful person wears a suit."

The audience was amazed by Aries's actions.

"No, this Aries seems to be quite the actor!"

"He might be a bit of an act, but he really does look handsome! Look at that suit he's wearing, it's so well-tailored."

"Uh... so there's a reason behind the earlier scene where he was wearing a suit?"

……

The waiter glanced at Aries' tie, then at his own, seemingly comparing them.

Could it be that I gave myself away because of this small tie?

Aries continued, "Next time you lie, please put on your clothes properly and tie your tie straight before you start lying, okay?"

"In a high-class hotel like this, you wouldn't find a waiter who's not properly dressed. The only explanation is that you're an imposter."

After hearing Aries' explanation, the audience suddenly understood.

"I told you this guy was weird, turns out he's an imposter."

"Ugh, I figured it out a long time ago. His suit was so sloppy; he's definitely not a waiter."

"So you know everything now? Why didn't you say anything when Aries wouldn't?"

……

Seeing that his act had been exposed, the waiter decided to stop pretending.

He loosened his tie and said, "So what if I'm an imposter? You've already taken the menu and incurred a service charge. And I see you don't have any money on you, do you?"

Guo Jing paused, realizing that even accepting a menu was a trap. It seemed that strange rules and superstitions were indeed not suitable for a rough man like him.

Aries looked at the waiter: "Have you forgotten what I said? I said this meal is on you."

"What a joke," the waiter said strangely. "You're the one in big trouble now. Those two haven't even touched the menu yet. When the manager comes to collect the service fee, he'll just deduct it from your bill."

Aries blinked and said, "Looks like you're still not giving up. Let me think... your real identity is actually a water deliveryman, right? Besides the leather shoes you're wearing, your suit and tie are stolen, aren't they?"

The waiter remained unconvinced, "So what if I did? You've already touched the menu, so you still have to pay."

Aries picked up the menu: "In that case, I'll really tear it up."

Only at this moment did the waiter truly collapse.

"No, no, no... Brother, let's talk this out. It's on me, this meal is on me, please order less."

original.

Even now, it's still bluffing, trying to intimidate Aries through the manager so it can get the menu back.

He only truly gave in when he saw Aries actually tearing up the menu.

The audience started discussing it again.

"Hmm... wait, why is this waiter so afraid that Aries will tear up the menu?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't Aries just say that the waiter was an imposter and that he stole the menu? If Aries really tears it up, he'll definitely be held responsible."

"Hey buddy, wait, you seem to know a lot about this too."

"That's... my nickname is the Exam Prince..."

"Then why don't you go and take the trick test?"

"I'm only seventeen this year. I'll show you my skills next year."

……

"pretty!"

Until this point.

A round of applause came from outside the door.

Then, a refined woman walked in gracefully.

She was wearing a neat, spotless suit.

Her burgundy hair was neatly pinned up at the back of her head, looking clean and tidy.

Her delicate features were adorned with light makeup, making her look sweet and charming.

A pair of delicate feet fit perfectly in exquisite high heels, neither too big nor too small.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the waiter's expression immediately changed.

"By...Manager..."

The woman glanced at the waiter on the ground and said, "Disgraceful wretch, get out of here!"

The waiter didn't dare linger any longer and ran out in a panic.

The woman gave the three men a slight bow and said, "I'm so sorry for the unpleasant experience. That guy is just a temporary worker at our restaurant."

"ha."

Aries chuckled, "You guys are really something. When something goes wrong, you just blame it on being a temporary worker."

The woman smiled slightly: "How about this? To express our apologies, this meal will be on us at the restaurant. Please feel free to order whatever you would like."

Aries handed over the menu: "Take a look, what would you like to eat?"

Guo Jing was still hesitant when Lin Yi had already taken the menu.

"Principal, what would you like to eat? I'd like a plate of braised duck with peace sauce."

Guo Jing said, "Then let's have some beef jerky."

The woman smiled and looked at Aries: "And you, sir?"

She seems to value Aries' opinions very much.

Aries said, "Give me a serving of peanuts."

……

A plate of fried peanuts was served.

Aries took one and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently.

His thoughts seemed to drift far away.

"Brother Aries... I earned a Dao today... and a bag of peanuts..."
