Chapter 372: As Long as Brother Xu Knows His Limits

Inside the Panhai Tower, Ming and the three of them sat in a private room, ordering some dishes.

Ming noticed that this tavern was indeed quite ingenious.

The layout of this tavern was beautiful, giving off both an air of luxury and an elegant atmosphere.

Especially the menu of this tavern.

Other taverns merely describe dishes with names and list prices afterward. But this one actually had illustrations, which added intrigue.

These illustrations used various pigments, appearing vibrant and colorful.

Although these paintings couldn’t compare to photos from his previous life, they were still commendable for their innovation.

Even if the illustrations on the menu weren’t particularly attractive, it didn’t matter as long as they weren’t outright ugly. After all, dining wasn’t just about food; it was also about style.

When Ming saw that the tavern was fully occupied, he realized that its taste might not suit his palate, but it wouldn’t be bad either.

After all, the collective taste of the masses doesn’t lie.

No matter how good your marketing is, if your food is truly terrible, people won’t come, and instead, they’ll criticize you.

Not to mention, coming to such a tavern naturally raises expectations for the dishes.

So this tavern had to offer higher-quality cuisine.

“By the way, how did you two manage to book this private room? They’re not easy to reserve, right?” After ordering, Ming asked.

Mainly because these two guys were also first-timers in the North Sea Dragon Capital, unfamiliar with the place, yet somehow managed to secure a spot.

Could they have connections in the North Sea? “Hahaha, Brother Xu, you don’t know this,” Yu Wen Xi laughed, “It’s true that these taverns are hard to book, but we simply booked earlier, didn’t we? A friend of mine from the North Sea returned last month, so I just asked him to help reserve a private room. If we didn’t use it, no big deal. The reservation would be canceled after half an hour anyway. We’re not short of money.”

“I see.” Ming nodded.

Miao Feng’s eyes flickered, “But Brother Xu, please forgive me. Later, some friends from the White Deer Academy will join us for a drink, and I’d like to introduce them to you.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Xu, they’re all easy-going people.”

Ming didn’t mind, “Of course, there’s no problem. As long as the folks from the White Deer Academy don’t disdain this crude fellow.”

Naturally, Ming trusted Yu Wen Xi’s friends.

After all, birds of a feather flock together. Ming felt comfortable around these two, so their friends should be decent too.

Yu Wen Xi chuckled, “Brother Xu, that’s not right. If Brother Xu counts as crude, then what does that make the rest of us?”

Miao Feng nodded, “Exactly.”

Ming laughed and raised a cup of wine, “Both of you are still skilled at praising me to death.”

“This isn’t praising to death; we’re stating facts.” Yu Wen Xi and Miao Feng raised their cups and clinked them with Ming.

“But among those from the White Deer Academy who have appeared in the North Sea Dragon Palace besides the two of you, I do recognize one person.” Ming said.

“Hmm?” Yu Wen Xi and Miao Feng immediately became interested, expecting Ming to finally reveal that person’s name. “That Lu Master came to visit me last night and chatted for a while.” Ming continued.

“???”

Initially, Yu Wen Xi and Miao Feng expected Ming to name someone else.

Instead, Brother Xu mentioned “Lu Master”? No way. You don’t care about women, why care about men? But why does Ming know that Lu Senior?

“Does Brother Xu know that Lu Senior?” Yu Wen Xi asked first.

Logically, the two shouldn’t have any connection since Brother Xu has never been to the White Deer Academy.

“That Lu Senior is classmates with Chancellor Xiao of our Wu Kingdom, and Mr. Xiao is my mentor. So, strictly speaking, that Lu Senior is my uncle by association. Last night, Lu Senior visited me, drank some tea, and chatted.”

Ming explained briefly.

“Hahaha, I see.” Miao Feng laughed, “If calculated this way, Mr. Xiao is from the White Deer Academy, and Brother Xu is Mr. Xiao’s disciple, so Brother Xu can be considered a half-student of the White Deer Academy. We are thus considered schoolmates.”

Ming smiled and nodded, “Indeed, it can be said that way.”

“But Brother Xu,” Yu Wen Xi hesitated but decided to speak up, “It’s better if Brother Xu keeps some distance from that Lu Senior.”

“Hmm? Why?” Ming asked.

“Well,” Miao Feng thought about how to explain to Ming, “The main issue is that Lu Senior’s reputation isn’t good. If Brother Xu gets too close to him, we fear it might affect Brother Xu’s reputation.”

Ming frowned slightly, “Can the two of you elaborate more?”

“We’ve only heard rumors circulating throughout the entire White Deer Academy, saying that Lu Senior once abandoned a woman after seducing her, spied on female students bathing, and even stole others’ underwear.” Miao Feng whispered, “In short, whenever something unpleasant happens in the academy, most of it involves Lu Senior.”

Hearing this, Ming didn’t entirely believe it.

Rumors are just rumors.

Based solely on yesterday’s interaction with Lu Senior, Ming felt that Lu Senior shouldn’t be like that.

“What did Lu Senior say in response?” Ming asked.

Miao Feng shook his head, “Lu Senior didn’t respond, seemingly accepting it as true. Every day, when we see Lu Senior, he’s either freeloading or digging for wild vegetables, fishing…”

“Brother Xu, we’re not trying to imply anything. Most people in the academy keep their distance from him. If Brother Xu gets too close…”

Yu Wen Xi explained again.

After all, Lu Senior is Brother Xu’s uncle, and they were criticizing his uncle.

“I understand your goodwill,” Ming nodded, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

“As long as Brother Xu knows his limits, let’s drink, drink!” Miao Feng didn’t want to continue the topic, fearing it might hurt feelings.

Just as the three raised their cups, a knock came from the door of the private room.

(Immortal Cultivation+Meeting a Perfect Match+Shura Field+Invincible Flow+Upgrade Flow+Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger) — What is cultivation? When I think back to the past, cultivation was, as a baby, kicking my legs over and over again—kicking on the bed, kicking on the ground, kicking every single day. Cultivation was, as I grew older, swinging my sword again and again—slashing here, cutting there. Cultivation became, as I matured, the repeated harmony of yin and yang—busy tonight, and busy again tomorrow night. … My name is Xu Ming. I have never cared about the stipends given to me by those sect masters, noble ladies, or princesses. I said to her, “Can you give me a room closer to yours? I need to report my work to you at any moment.” Even if I accomplish nothing every day, I just want to watch how she cultivates. I…
