Chapter-17

Among the chitter chatter of the crowd in the restaurent, the corner table was reserved the Young Masters. Two were adorned with white robe and a forehead ribbion. The other one wore delicate robe with a white peony fastened on the chest, and vermillion mark in between his eyebrows.

The waiter walked towards them holding a wooden tray that carried three bowls of lotus root soup. The soup that they had ordered few moments ago.

The waiter said, "Young Masters, here's your order."

Even after being the one sitting farthest, Shizui got up to help the waiter, "Thankyou very much."

"Ah... Young Master doesn't need to thank this lowly servant." The waiter said as he bowed and neatly served the soup.

Shizui smiled, "You don't need to say yourself lowly."

Jingyi spoke too, "Yes, Shizui is absolutely correct."

The waiter was really taken aback by the warm words of Young Masters. In his eyes, the Young Masters of prominent sects always held their head eyes. He wasn't complaining about that, but until now he had only encountered the Young Masters who were brutally arrogant.

His heart was really warmed up. He joyfully said, "Thankyou for your courtesy. Will you have the dessert of this place? You won't have to pay for it."

Shizui was ofcourse about to refuse. But as usual why would someone like Jingyi would let such a sweet offer to let go.

He said with a thumbs up, "Yes! We would like to have. By the way don't forget about him as well." He said as he pointed at JinLing.

Jin Ling was just silently having his soup that was just delivered. He looked as if didn't paid any attention to their conversation, but the truth was he was desperately trying to find the words to be the part of conversation. But didn't any words, so at the end he only silently started sipping his soup.

Jin Ling moved his eyes to look at them, "What?"

Jingyi said, "You want desserts? Its free."

Jin Ling pondered over it for a moment, and again shifted his gaze down, "No."

Shizui apologetically smiled, "Only two plates."

The waiter awkwardly laughed, "As the Young Master says."

After the waiter left, Jingyi turned to JinLing and lowly shouted, "Why were you so rude?!"

JinLing frowned, "What now?!"

Jingyi continued, "Atleast you could have- Ouch Shizui?!"

Shizui had just now elbowed him. He said, "He didn't wanted to eat so he refused. Jingyi, no need to continue the matter."

Jingyi was at a loss. He thought 'This was not a big deal. What are you people acting as if we are illegally dealing spiritual devices?!'

But he didn't voiced his thoughts.

He coughed and mouthfully galloped the soup, spoon after spoon.

But suddenly the surrounding felt off, the noise of the surrounding dimmed. Both Shizui and Jingyi looked up to see what happened. And for a moment they both remained still.

Jin Ling didn't paid much heed, but he felt someone was stepping closer to him. And a shiver ran down his spine, he felt as if someone's deathly glare was burning hole at his back.

He finally abruptly looked up to see the reaction of Shizui and Jingyi. Sure enough both at the same time got up and greeted the person behind him in unison, "Sect Leader Jiang."
