He hadn't expected Long Chenxi to be a distinguished guest of the Longteng Kingdom!
For some reason, Long Xiangyu and Long Chenxi seemed to have a good relationship. Yun Lang had also asked Long Xiangyu about it before, but Long Xiangyu hadn't told him.
Yun Lang's gaze fell upon the dishes on the table.
Although the spread was lavish, none of the dishes were specialties of the Longyin Kingdom.
He supposed this was the privilege of distinguished guests!
In this world, there were always a few individuals who enjoyed extraordinary treatment, yet one couldn't compare themselves to them.
A glint flashed in Yun Lang's eyes. "Innkeeper, you still haven't told me, who exactly is the owner of that shop?"
The innkeeper smiled and said, "I know who the owner of that shop is, but I dare not tell you!"
Yun Lang raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Why? Is that fellow a distinguished guest of your Longteng Kingdom?"
"Yes! He is a distinguished guest!" the innkeeper replied.
Yun Lang glanced at the innkeeper and didn't ask any further questions.
Yun Lang picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth. He chewed a few times, then suddenly stopped. "Huh! This dish tastes good!"
Hearing Yun Lang's praise, a flicker of joy appeared in the innkeeper's eyes. "Thank you for your compliment! This is our restaurant's signature dish – Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness! Our restaurant is even named after this dish! To be frank, Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness is actually a shop! Our boss's name is Chen Yang!"
Upon hearing the innkeeper's words, Yun Lang's mouth twitched slightly.
He truly hadn't expected that this shop was opened by Chen Yang!
And Chen Yang was a distinguished guest of the Longteng Kingdom!
What a coincidence this was!
Thinking about the scene where he met Long Chenxi in the palace earlier, he couldn't help but want to burst out laughing.
Seeing Yun Lang laugh, the innkeeper looked a bit confused and asked, "Young Master Long, what are you laughing about? Do you find it amusing?"
"No, no! I wasn't laughing at anything! I just find this matter quite interesting! Your restaurant is called Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness, and your boss's name is Chen Yang! How can such a coincidental shop be located in the Longteng Kingdom?"
"Oh, Young Master Long, please don't misunderstand! Our boss is a good brother to you. Our boss's name is Long Chenxi. I only learned your esteemed name because I heard tales of you and your elder brother!" the innkeeper quickly explained.
After hearing the innkeeper's explanation, Yun Lang no longer dwelled on the matter. After all, Long Chenxi was his brother, and he had no reason to doubt him.
After Yun Lang finished a bowl of rice, he said, "Innkeeper, you just said that your boss's room is Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness!"
"Yes!"
"Then tell me his room number!" Yun Lang said calmly.
"Young Master Long, you don't need to be so hurried! Our boss is not here tonight. I'll tell you tomorrow!"
"Then can you tell me where he is staying?" Yun Lang continued to ask.
The innkeeper hesitated for a moment. "Young Master Long, you don't know, our boss..."
"You don't need to say more, I already know. Just tell me your boss's room number, and I'll find him myself!"
"But..."
"Alright, it's decided then! Tell me, his room number!" Yun Lang stated.
"Very well! Young Master Long, please wait a moment!" The innkeeper nodded, then walked behind the counter, took out a pen and paper, wrote down Long Chenxi's room number, and handed it to Yun Lang.
Yun Lang took the slip of paper, put it inside his sleeve, then stood up and walked towards the exit.
Seeing this, the innkeeper quickly followed.
He said with an obsequious smile, "Young Master, please wait!"
"Is there something else?" Yun Lang turned his head to look at him.
"No, there isn't!" the innkeeper shook his head. "Young Master, walk slowly!"
Yun Lang nodded and strode out of the restaurant.
Watching Yun Lang's back disappear outside the door, the innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That scared me to death! I thought you were going to rob me!"
"Heh heh, it's good that you're sensible. If you dared to say anything out of line, I would have made your life a living hell!" the innkeeper said to himself.
After leaving the restaurant, Yun Lang headed straight for Long Chenxi's room.
Long Chenxi was the emperor of the Longao Kingdom, so he naturally resided in the highest-class inn.
When Yun Lang reached the entrance of the inn, a waiter stopped him.
Yun Lang looked up at the waiter and said, "I want to see your boss!"
"I'm sorry, our boss is busy and cannot see you! Please leave!" the waiter said coldly.
Yun Lang glanced at him. "What if I insist on seeing your boss?"
The waiter looked at Yun Lang. "Then I can only ask you to leave!"
"Hmph, I must see your boss today, though?" Yun Lang retorted.
"Young Master, if you force your way in here, then don't blame us for being impolite!" the waiter threatened.
"Is that so? Then try me!" Yun Lang said dismissively.
"Fine! Since you are being stubborn, don't blame me! Guards! Seize him!" the waiter shouted.
Before his voice even faded, many masked men in black emerged around Yun Lang.
"Haha! I thought your guards would be much stronger! It seems they're just so-so!" Yun Lang said mockingly, looking at the men in black.
The men in black looked at Yun Lang, eager to fight.
"Attack!" commanded the leader of the black-clad men.
At the leader's command, they all simultaneously attacked Yun Lang.
Yun Lang's gaze sharpened. He quickly retreated, dodging their attacks.
"Good!"
The attackers roared and charged forward again.
Yun Lang lightly tapped the ground with his toe, and his body rapidly escaped their encirclement, reappearing behind them. He gripped his long sword and swung it towards their necks.
"Pfft!"
The long sword pierced through a black-clad man's neck.
The man, clutching his bleeding neck, looked at Yun Lang with a shocked expression.
A smile appeared on Yun Lang's face. "Now this is more like it!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Then, his sword swept across the necks of the other black-clad men, blood splattering everywhere!
"Ah! Help! Murder! Help!"
"Thump, thump, thump, thump!"
A series of falling sounds echoed, and all the black-clad men lay on the ground, motionless.
Witnessing this scene, the waiter who had been preparing to watch the commotion widened his eyes in disbelief. "H-how is this possible? How could so many men in black die in the blink of an eye? Who is he? How can he be so powerful?"
While the waiter was still stunned, Yun Lang walked up to him and said, "Aren't you going to lead the way for me?"
The waiter snapped back to reality and quickly said, "R-right, right, right, this way, please!"
Yun Lang followed the waiter towards the inn where Long Chenxi was staying.
