The constables dispersed and sat down, and what Constable Wei said was not an exaggeration. Many people had indeed come, and the tables were almost full.

The leader of the gang sat in the middle of the table, surrounded by constables. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and it could be said that the righteous and the wicked were like one big family.

Chi Xulong was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. Despite his reputation for being arrogant, he had only built that image for himself. When he did bad things, he would either disguise himself or cover his face. When he encountered officials, he would try to keep as far away from them as possible.

Now he couldn’t run away and could only pretend to be an ostrich with his head in the sand.

“We’re here, Constable Wei.” Lu Yang smiled and greeted Constable Wei as he stood up.

Chi Xulong stared at Lu Yang in disbelief. So, you’re the owner of the restaurant!

“You’ve already started eating.” Constable Wei was somewhat embarrassed.

“It’s no problem. What do you want to eat?”

Constable Wei waved his hand. “Since there are so many people, let’s just order whatever.”

“Okay.” Lu Yang agreed, knowing that Constable Wei had the same idea.

The constables smelled the delicious aroma coming from the leader’s table and subconsciously salivated. It was mealtime, and they were already hungry. The smell made them even hungrier.

Fortunately, Lu Yang was well-prepared. He had already turned on the grill before Constable Wei arrived and had grilled some skewers. When the constables arrived, he could serve the food immediately.

Soon, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu brought out plates of grilled skewers to fill the constables’ stomachs.

After introducing himself, Constable Wei said, “This is our chief constable, Fang Qingyun!”

Fang Qingyun politely shook hands with Lu Yang. As a Golden Core stage cultivator, he could tell that Lu Yang was also a cultivator. Not only could he tell that Lu Yang was a cultivator, but he could also tell that everyone at the leader’s table was a cultivator.

He didn’t say anything. There were many cultivators who ran businesses. As long as they didn’t break the law, what did it have to do with him?

The table was already occupied, and as the chief constable, he couldn’t use his position to pressure others. It wouldn’t look good if it got out.

After Lu Yang sat down and Chi Xulong complained to the leader about him in a low voice, Lu Yang felt wronged. “Isn’t it because I wanted you to establish a good relationship with the constables? You should seize this opportunity.”

Lu Yang pointed to the banner on the wall. “See that? That’s the banner Constable Wei gave me. Before I joined the organization, I found a base, laid the groundwork, and established a relationship with the officials. That way, no matter what I did, the officials wouldn’t suspect me. When they come here to drink, I can even eavesdrop on their intelligence.”

Chu, the leader, nodded. What Lu Yang said was reasonable and consistent with the leader’s evaluation of him. The leader had said that these three people seemed to be fooling around, but they had hidden intentions. You couldn’t just look at their surface actions.

Just the fact that they took the initiative to establish a relationship with the officials showed more courage and foresight than most people in the organization!

“Come on, let’s drink.”

After eating several skewers and filling their stomachs, Constable Wei and the others began to drink. As they ate more and more skewers, the constables became more and more excited, drinking round after round and having a great time.

In contrast, the leader’s table in the middle was the complete opposite. They drank very carefully, afraid that someone would get drunk and reveal something.Later on, they stopped drinking alcohol and switched to tea.

The head of the guards felt guilty for ruining the atmosphere at the table and went over to them with a glass.

“Don’t mind us, we’re just regular people when we’re off duty. We came to the barbecue restaurant to have fun and drink!”

“Come, let’s have a drink!” The head of the guards said to Chi Xulong.

Chi Xulong carefully picked up his teacup, but the head of the guards was unhappy and said sternly, “What’s with drinking tea? Are you not giving face? Pour the wine!”

Chi Xulong had no choice but to pour the thirty-year spirit wine he brought and drank it all.

Seeing the head of the guards circling around and drinking, the other guards clearly drank too much and followed suit, drinking and having fun with the table of the leader.

No one invited Lu Yang and his friends to drink, and the boss couldn’t drink anymore.

The alcohol in the thirty-year spirit wine couldn’t be dispelled until the Foundation Building stage, and Chi Xulong and the others were drunk.

When the leader finished drinking, people gradually became unrestrained under the influence of the alcohol. Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi decided to unite and create a new world in the Immortal Teaching.

“Your biggest flaw, Chi Xulong, is that you’re too impatient and too flashy. You should be more restrained!” Shen Jinyi said.

Chi Xulong was unhappy and didn’t want to be criticized. “Enough, I’m flashy, just like you, hiding like a turtle and letting your students do the work for you?”

“You’re acting like a woman!”

Shen Jinyi was furious. “Don’t be shameless, Chi Xulong. I’m thinking of you. Don’t bite me back!”

Chi Xulong was angrier than Shen Jinyi. “Who are you calling a dog?”

With that, he punched Shen Jinyi in the face.

Shen Jinyi couldn’t take this and splashed wine on Chi Xulong. Although he was drunk, Chi Xulong was still agile and dodged, and the wine splashed onto Bai Zifang’s face.

Bai Zifang was not easy to get along with and wanted revenge for being wronged. He retaliated by throwing a plate at Shen Jinyi’s face.

The three of them fought, and others who tried to intervene were accidentally hurt, making everyone angry.

We were trying to help you save face, but you don’t appreciate it and dare to hit me?

I gave you face!

The spirit wine was too strong, and everyone’s brains weren’t working well. They didn’t care whether they were in the guard’s pile or not and started fighting.

Clang!

Someone flipped the table, and things fell onto the next table.

The guards had never seen such an arrogant person before, and cultivators fighting in groups was extremely dangerous and needed to be punished.

The head of the guards, Fang Qingyun, saw the situation and released his pressure, directly suppressing the disciples of the demonic cult.

“Take them away and let them sober up in the dungeon!”

The disciples instantly sobered up and realized what had happened, sweating profusely.This time too many people came all at once. The two ghost minions were too busy to keep up with the illusions. Seeing this, Man Gu personally took action. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shuttled back and forth between the backyard and the hall, and the grilled skewers they had prepared disappeared at a visible speed.

Lu Yang lifted the curtain and apologized, “I’m sorry everyone, all the skewers have been grilled… What’s going on?”

Lu Yang saw the arrogant and domineering disciples sitting quietly in the hall, while the constables sneered at them.

The head constable whispered, “Sorry, Shopkeeper Lu. Your friends caused a fight in a group, and the chief constable dislikes cultivators doing this the most. The commotion was too big, and passersby noticed it. If they are not punished, it won’t pass.”

Lu Yang: “…”

To be honest, Lu Yang did have some intention of playing around with the disciples and constables by arranging them at the same table, but he didn’t expect these people to be so bold as to fight right in front of the constables.

Meng Jingzhou curled his lips, “I told you, don’t drink. Drinking always leads to trouble.”

…

On the day of the welcoming party, Chi Xulong and others were detained for ten days because of their fighting.

After Chu Master learned of this, he was stunned for a while.
