It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

The one from the Dragon Guard Manor was Shangguan Haitang, the one from the Six Doors was the female constable Ji Yaohua, the one from the Divine Marquis's Mansion was Wuqing, the one from the Eastern Depot was the head constable, and the one from the Western Depot was also an eunuch, but this eunuch was very famous. Although he had not yet taken office, it was only a matter of time. His name was Yu Huatian.

These people met at the entrance of the inn, but none of them spoke or even greeted each other. They entered the inn one after another, and the first thing they saw was Yaoyue sitting in the center, reading a book.

Shangguan Haitang didn't speak because she knew what kind of personalities these "old friends" had. Some people would eliminate themselves on their own.

The head eunuch of the Eastern Depot spoke first, his voice high-pitched, as he addressed Yaoyue: "Yaoyue, the Eastern Depot is in dire need of manpower. If you follow me, join the Eastern Depot, and pledge your loyalty to Chief Supervisor Cao, I can guarantee you wealth and honor!"

Shangguan Haitang was secretly delighted: The first one has been chosen!

The people from the Eastern Depot acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the court, completely ignorant of the ways of the martial arts world. The martial arts figures they could bribe with money were all minor characters who couldn't even make it in the martial arts world.

But who is Yaoyue?

The reputation of the Moon Palace Master of Yihua Palace in the martial arts world is not to be underestimated. Trying to bribe her with money? Dream on!

Moreover, Shangguan Haitang had been to the Zhou Family Manor; a family like that wouldn't be short of money.

Sure enough, Yaoyue didn't even lift her eyelids, completely ignoring the head of the Eastern Depot. When had the head of the Eastern Depot ever been treated like this? Just as he was about to lose his temper, Lianxing descended from the sky and landed next to Yaoyue: "Sister, the food is ready."

Yaoyue put down the book and turned to walk towards the kitchen, while Lianxing glanced at everyone, nodded to Shangguan Haitang as a greeting, and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she also went to the kitchen and left...

Just as these people were wondering what to do, Huang Rong came downstairs. She smiled at Shangguan Haitang first, and then looked them over one by one before saying, "Everyone, please sit down. Whatever you need to do, you need to talk to my big, silly guy. He's cooking, so please wait a moment. It'll be ready soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yaoyue, Lianxing, Wang Yuyan, Daiqisi and others came out carrying dishes, while Huang Rong had already put two tables together and then went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

The head of the Eastern Depot sneered, "Even if you wanted to treat us to a meal, it's far too insincere. This is all... Humph! What do you mean by looking at me like that?"

Shangguan Haitang and the others turned their heads to the side, their faces expressionless, but their inner thoughts were quite varied, because they couldn't understand how Cao Zhengchun could have such an idiot among his subordinates.

Especially Yu Huatian, he felt that being with this kind of guy directly lowered his own status. Should he find an opportunity to get rid of him?

Both the Western Depot and the Eastern Depot were powerful forces within the palace, each managing their own area. However, because the Eastern Depot was established earlier and managed more affairs than the Western Depot, it held a slight advantage over the Western Depot.

I thought it would be a formidable enemy, but now it seems... it's not so bad.

The women were busy for a while before all the dishes were served. Then they sat down, showing no intention of inviting outsiders to dinner. When Zhou Ye came out last, he was carrying a rice cooker filled with rice.

He first served rice to the women, and after he finished, he sat down in the main seat and asked, "Did you all come to see us for something?"

Just as the head of the Eastern Depot was about to slam his fist on the table and stand up, Yu Huatian stood up first and said, "Young Master Zhou, the Western Depot wishes to borrow your strength and that of the ladies to protect the outer perimeter of the Imperial Palace."

Zhou Ye took a bite of rice, swallowed it, and replied, "It's not appropriate. No matter what, we are outsiders. The imperial palace is a very important place. Even the outer perimeter is not suitable for us. If word gets out, it will damage the official prestige. Besides, the West Depot has plenty of talented people. It won't make a difference if there are a few of us."

The other party was polite, so Zhou Ye was polite in return, especially his address "ladies," which touched the hearts of all the women. Zhou Ye had to give them face, especially since Yu Huatian was quite handsome...

Upon hearing this, Yu Huatian nodded, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "In that case, I shall take my leave."

Take care.

As the men from the Western Depot left, and the head constable was about to slam his fist on the table again, Ji Yaohua from the Six Doors stood up and said, "Young Master Zhou, ladies, the God of Arrest would like to invite you all to the Six Doors as guests. I especially want to thank you all for your help in capturing so many notorious bandits."

"Alright, the day after tomorrow. We've come all this way and are exhausted. Let us rest for a couple of days before we go to the banquet for the God of Catching."

After receiving the reply, Ji Yaohua also left.

Now you can finally bang on the table, right?

Unfortunately, it still didn't work, because Ruthless got there first again.

"Young Master Zhou, Uncle Zhuge would like to invite you to join the investigation into the recent thefts involving various sects."

Zhou Ye almost swallowed a mouthful of rice into his trachea: "Cough! Um... thank you for your kindness, Divine Marquis, but I'm not good at solving cases, so I won't cause any trouble."

Wuqing nodded, but instead of leaving, she looked at the food on their table and said, "May I stay and have some?"

This time, Zhou Ye didn't need to say anything; Huang Rong smiled and said, "Okay!"

It was just a matter of adding a couple more bowls and chopsticks, and Wuqing sat down at the table. However, she didn't touch her chopsticks because the whole table of food was full of hearty dishes, which meant that it was all meat and fish. She, who always preferred light food, didn't know which one to eat first.

Leaving aside Wuqing, who was being forced to eat, Shangguan Haitang sat down next to him as if they were old friends, then looked at Zhou Ye and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou, that's not very nice of you. Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

Zhou Ye laughed: "You invited Brother Feng, and he really didn't come, but I'm free. Also, A-Wan's master is coming, so I have to meet him, right?"

Ah Wan...

Wuqing and Shangguan Haitang's hearts skipped a beat. They had never met Wanwan, but they knew her as the Holy Maiden of the Yin Kui Sect, and her master... The two glanced at Yaoyue, who was eating, out of the corner of their eyes. And this equally famous female demon!

When her name was mentioned, Wanwan smiled at them and then ate even faster. The other girls did the same. Wuqing and Shangguan Haitang were puzzled. They quickly took a couple of bites and then couldn't eat anymore. This was breakfast!

They had already eaten breakfast when they arrived.

"Are you sure you want to oppose the Eastern Depot? You..."

Finally, the head of the gang finally got a chance to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yaoyue and Lianxing put down their chopsticks and stared at him, making it impossible for him to utter any more threatening words.

Zhou Ye finished a bowl of rice, and while serving himself a second bowl, he said, "Eunuch Cao is a decent person. There's no need to make things too awkward. Ah Yue, Ah Xing, go to the Eastern Depot and have a chat with Eunuch Cao. Make sure to tell him that we're just here to arrange a marriage and have some fun. We wouldn't dare to go against the Eastern Depot."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yaoyue and Lianxing disappeared from the spot. Although Lingbo Weibu was not as fast as Ti, it was faster than the human eye. Without exceptionally good dynamic vision, it would be impossible to see them clearly.

Before eating his second bowl of rice, Zhou Ye smiled at the head eunuch and said, "They're all impatient. They should be almost at the Eastern Depot by now. Eunuch, you should go back soon too. I won't see you off."

The head of the Eastern Depot shuddered at first, then came to his senses and ran out of the inn without saying a word, rushing towards the Eastern Depot.

Meanwhile, back at the inn, seeing that everyone had stopped eating, Zhou Ye began to feast. The rice in the pot and the dishes on the table disappeared at a visible speed, leaving Wuqing and Shangguan Haitang completely stunned!
