Chapter 86: No Noodle Refills
Li Wan Zhi soon learned what it meant to lift a rock and smash your own foot. Shen Nan Zhou looked thin, but he was tough: “His fists are super, super hard!”
Li Wan Zhi had no idea why he fainted after only three moves. When he woke, Fang He An was fanning him and talking to the people beside him: “Do we give him more medicine? Master gave me two bottles, made just for Junior Brother Li. They promote blood flow, clear bruises, open the channels and soothe the meridians. You can use them inside and out. They work great.”
Li Wan Zhi drifted awake and reached out a hand: “I…”
Fang He An brightened: “He’s awake, he’s awake. Looks like nothing serious.”
Li Wan Zhi grabbed Fang He An’s hand and croaked: “I want to…”
Fang He An squeezed back: “Don’t get excited, I get it. Junior brother is still waiting for you. You two can keep sparring and give you a chance to wash away that loss, but just exchange pointers and stop when it’s enough.”
No, that was not it. Li Wan Zhi wanted to cry. He wanted to switch partners. Switch now. He wanted to spar with Fang He An, not Shen Nan Zhou. [This brat definitely has a grudge against me. Definitely!]
Shen Nan Zhou, obedient and calm, pulled Li Wan Zhi to his feet and said: “Fourth Senior Brother, let’s continue.”
“…”
Ten days flashed by. The five kids trained hard. Xun Yin and the other senior uncles saw it all and felt very pleased. When they learned the five would go down the mountain for one day on the fifteenth, they agreed at once.
On the fifteenth day, Ye Wan Wan and her four companions used sword flight to go down the mountain. Only Fang He An still rode on Li Wan Zhi’s sword. When they saw the city walls, they landed and walked in on foot.
This time in the city, the five of them were like country servants visiting for the first time. They bought and bought.
First stop was the clothing shop. Each person picked more than a dozen outfits. Li Wan Zhi said, cheerful and serious: “Three sets per season, twelve sets a year, that’s not a lot.”
Fang He An tugged down the outfit Li Wan Zhi was holding and said: “You’re a guy. No matter how you switch, it’s the same few styles. Can you even tell the difference? Buy two sets and rotate. You’re a cultivator; what summer or winter are you dividing? Are you afraid of the cold?”
Li Wan Zhi stared: [Not being cold doesn’t mean I can’t look good!]
Feeling wronged, Li Wan Zhi pouted. Fang He An turned with a sunny smile and said to the girls: “Junior Sister and Senior Sister, try more. Miss’s shop has lots of styles. Today, your senior brother is paying.”
When Ye Wan Wan and Bai Jian finally finished, they had twenty-four pieces between them. Li Wan Zhi had three, Shen Nan Zhou had four, and Fang He An paid for everything.
Li Wan Zhi yelped: “Why does junior brother have one more than me? That’s unfair.”
Fang He An said: “Junior brother hasn’t received his sect robes yet, so I made it up to him with one more. You already have two sets of sect robes. That’s enough.”
Li Wan Zhi’s lips pouted high enough to hang a soy sauce bottle. Then he noticed Fang He An hadn’t bought a single thing and blurted: “What about you?”
Fang He An waved it off: “I joined earlier. I’ve got several sect robes. That’s enough for me.”
“What about outerwear?”
Fang He An spun once and said: “This set is enough. Eldest Senior Brother bought it for me. I like it.”
Hearing that, Ye Wan Wan and Bai Jian turned their heads. Li Wan Zhi scowled and snapped: “Are you out of your mind? We’re not short on spirit stones. Buy them!”
Ye Wan Wan said calmly: “Buy everything.”
Bai Jian nodded: “Yes.”
An hour later, it was settled: twelve pieces per person, not one less. After clothes, they browsed jewelry and accessories. Shen Nan Zhou and Fang He An waited like well-behaved door guardians while the two girls shopped.
Li Wan Zhi couldn’t sit still. He slipped into the weapons shop next door, saw the hidden weapons, and could not move his feet. He swept up a pile in one go. But the prices were high. By the time he came back, his money pouch was empty. He slumped over the counter and groaned: “I’m broke. Spirit stones vanish the second you spend them.”
The other four looked at him and couldn’t help smiling.
Ye Wan Wan checked the hour and saw it was noon: “Senior Sister, are you hungry?”
Bai Jian’s eyes lit up, brighter than when she saw clothes or jewelry.
Ye Wan Wan flicked her hand: “Come on, let’s eat!”
At the Delicacy Pavilion, the five stopped at the door. Fang He An covered his face. Li Wan Zhi pointed at the wooden plaque and snapped with a shaking finger: “Are they targeting us on purpose?”
The sign at the entrance read: No noodle refills.
Fang He An tugged his sleeve and covered half his face: “Keep your voice down. Don’t let people recognize us.”
Li Wan Zhi rolled up his sleeves and said: “I hope they do recognize us. We pay to eat, they set the rules. If they can’t handle it, they shouldn’t target us.”
Bai Jian hesitated: “Maybe we should pick another place.”
Ye Wan Wan had already taken Bai Jian up the steps: “No. This place.”
The two girls went in. Shen Nan Zhou followed. Fang He An was trying to hold Li Wan Zhi back, but Li Wan Zhi hauled him along instead: “Go. I want to see what’s so great about this place. It’s not like we can’t afford it.”
After they sat down, Li Wan Zhi saw the menu and whispered to Ye Wan Wan with a guilty face: “Junior Sister… maybe we should switch places?”
It was really expensive. Fang He An was sweating. Any dish here could make their Young Senior Uncle get stuck working here for life.
Ye Wan Wan’s face didn’t change. She skimmed the menu. The nearby waiter clearly recognized the four of them and said with an awkward smile: “Honored guests, our plain noodle is no longer for sale.”
Ye Wan Wan gave him a cold look. The waiter’s heart jumped and he corrected himself fast: “We do sell it, but there are no refills. If you want to order, it’s only one serving. Also, only one serving per table.”
Li Wan Zhi glanced at the next table. Every person there had a bowl. Then he looked back at their table’s one-per-table rule and snapped: “You’re targeting us on purpose!”
Ye Wan Wan set down the menu and said coolly: “Send someone else to serve us.”
Cold sweat streamed down the waiter’s face. “Change the server.”
The commotion drew eyes from all over. People started whispering: “What’s going on?” “Those faces look familiar… Ah! It’s the ones who got a hundred noodle refills! The boss must not want their business.”
The shopkeeper hurried over when he heard it: “Honored guests.”
Ye Wan Wan pointed at the waiter and said: “Have him step back. Don’t make me act.”
As she spoke, a silent pressure burst from the young girl. The hall jolted. Someone gasped: “Golden Core Stage!”
So young, yet already Golden Core Stage. In an instant, countless eyes locked on Ye Wan Wan.
The shopkeeper’s expression changed and turned fawning. He whipped his head and barked at the waiter: “Apologize to the immortal elder! Blind dog who doesn’t know better!”
The waiter dropped to his knees and begged forgiveness. Ye Wan Wan said coldly: “I only asked for a different server. I didn’t tell him to kneel.”
The shopkeeper bobbed his head: “Yes, yes, I punished him. Immortal elder, whatever you want, we will bring it right away. Get out, you dog.” The waiter ran.
Ye Wan Wan drew a finger down the menu and said: “Everything. We want it all.”
The shopkeeper’s smile froze. He wanted to ask if they could afford it, but Ye Wan Wan had already set a chest of spirit stones on the table.
Thud.
Money spoke loudly.
“Is that enough?”
The lid opened to a blinding glow. From the looks of it, there were at least a million spirit stones inside. The hall buzzed: They brought a million to eat lunch?
The shopkeeper’s grin spread ear to ear: “Enough! More than enough!”
He hurried off to arrange the dishes.
Fang He An and Li Wan Zhi stayed quiet. They thought Junior Sister was acting a little out of character. Normally, she wasn’t so flashy. But they both believed one thing: if Junior Sister chose this, she had her reasons. So they did the smartest thing and poured themselves tea.
Ye Wan Wan poured tea for Bai Jian. From the corner of her eye, she spotted a robed figure leaning on the railing of the second floor. She let out a cold smile. [There you are.]
