Chapter 37 Gold Leaf Pavilion

Hearing that, Tie Xue Leng could only smile wryly.

“In that case, I’ll gladly accept your hospitality.

Thank you, young brother.”

“Great!

Finally, some good food!” Tie Yuning was easily the happiest of the three.

Although she was a young lady of the Tie family, the clan was famous for its strict discipline.

Good food was a luxury rather than a daily indulgence, so she had little resistance to delicacies.

Half an hour later, the three arrived before a magnificent five-story restaurant.

Its whitewashed walls, black tiles, vermilion doors, and towering pillars gave it an elegant yet imposing appearance.

The rich aroma of wine and freshly prepared dishes drifted through the air, drawing in passersby.

Above the entrance hung a gilded plaque engraved with three bold characters.

Gold Leaf Pavilion.

The restaurant was enormous, and even the waiter greeting guests was a Rank One Gu Master.

She was quick-witted as well.

The moment She noticed the three approaching, her gaze immediately fell on Tie Xue Leng’s belt, where a purple token hung.

Her expression changed at once, and She hurried forward to welcome them personally.

A purple token represented a Rank Five Gu Master.

In the Gu Master world, Rank One and Rank Two cultivators formed the backbone of every force.

Rank Three Gu Masters were considered the middle tier and were qualified to serve as clan elders.

Rank Four and Rank Five Gu Masters, however, were the true pillars of a force, people whose strength and decisions could determine the rise or fall of an entire clan.

A Rank Five Gu Master, in particular, was usually the clan leader of a major force or an existence of equal standing.

Every decision they made could influence countless lives and draw the attention of the major powers across the region.

During their conversation, the waiter quietly activated a Gu and secretly informed the Jia clan elders.

The arrival of a Rank Five Gu Master in Jia Village was no small matter and had to be reported to the clan leader.

Tie Xue Leng naturally noticed all of this, but he didn’t care.

He had no intention of hiding his whereabouts anyway.

“Three honored guests, this way, please.” The waiter respectfully led the way.

Suddenly, Tie Xue Leng frowned slightly, as though he had sensed something.

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

Has he discovered me?

Impossible!

Most of his Blood Path Gu were stored inside the Blood Lotus Gu, which concealed their aura.

They all came from the Blood Sea True Inheritance.

On top of that, he also possessed Breath-Concealing Gu.

There was absolutely no way Tie Xue Leng could sense the Blood Path aura on his body.

Eventually, The three followed her to the stairway, where another young waitress with a sweet smile stepped forward and greeted them in a gentle voice.

“Honored guests, which floor would you like to dine on?

Gold Leaf Pavilion has five floors.

The first floor is open to mortals.

The second floor is reserved for Rank One Gu Masters and offers a twenty percent discount.

The third floor is for Rank Two Gu Masters and offers a thirty percent discount.

The fourth floor is reserved for Rank Three Gu Masters and offers a fifty percent discount.

The fifth floor is exclusively for Rank Four Gu Masters and above, where all meals are complimentary.”

“Then we’ll go to the fifth floor.”

Although Tie Xue Leng was already the renowned Iron-Blooded Divine Investigator of Southern Border, he was upright and incorruptible.

He also spent much of his wealth supporting the younger generation of the Tie family, so he was never particularly wealthy.

Hearing this, the waitress became even more respectful.

She gave a deep curtsy and said politely, “May I trouble our honored guest to reveal your cultivation aura for verification?.”

Tie Xue Leng said nothing.

He simply drew a wisp of primeval essence from his aperture and let it float before the young waitress.

A Rank Five Gu Master possessed purple crystal primeval essence.

Initial Stage Gu Masters had pale purple primeval essence, Middle Stage Gu Masters crimson purple primeval essence, Upper Stage Gu Masters deep purple primeval essence, while Peak Stage Gu Masters possessed crystal purple primeval essence.

As the younger brother of the Tie clan leader and one of the Tie family’s strongest experts, Tie Xue Leng had naturally reached the Upper Stage of Rank Five.

The primeval essence before her was a rich deep purple.

A Rank Five Upper Stage Gu Master…

wearing the Tie family’s mask…

and those clothes…

The young waitress immediately guessed his identity.

Her eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly bowed.

“Could…

could you be the Iron-Blooded Divine Investigator, Lord Tie Xue Leng?”

Tie Xue Leng nodded slightly.

Beside him, Tie Yuning puffed out her chest proudly and gave him a thumbs-up.

“That’s right!

This is the legendary Iron-Blooded Divine Investigator, the Number One Divine Constable of Southern Border, Lord Tie Xue Leng.

Now that you’ve recognized him, shouldn’t you bring out your finest wine and dishes?”

After receiving Tie Yuning’s confirmation, the young waitress became even more flustered.

“Y-Yes!

Right away!

Please wait a moment.

I’ll inform our manager immediately.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help covering his face.

She’s really good at borrowing someone else’s prestige.

Then again, a Rank Five Gu Master was no different from a feudal lord or emperor in the mortal world.

It was only natural for people to react this way when someone of that status arrived in person.
