Xia Feng produced a jade pendant that You Wende actually recognized.
However, this jade pendant was obtained in a secret realm back then. How did Xia Feng know he had this jade pendant on him?
This was also the reason for You Wende's drastic change in expression.
Although he couldn't figure out the function of this jade pendant, he had always known in his heart that it was extraordinary and must be some kind of supreme treasure.
Now that a super expert at the peak of the Saint Emperor realm was asking him for this jade pendant, it further confirmed that it was indeed a valuable item.
However, since Xia Feng had personally asked for it, You Wende dared not hide it.
Moreover, Xia Feng's target was so direct and his words so clear, he knew that Xia Feng must know he possessed the jade pendant.
"Reporting to the Saint Emperor, I do have this jade pendant. Please allow me to return and retrieve it for you," You Wende said respectfully.
"Go," Xia Feng waved his hand.
After receiving Xia Feng's permission, You Wende got up and left, flying away rapidly.
The onlookers outside were all wide-eyed.
"Did the City Lord just fly away?"
"It was the City Lord, I saw it very clearly. The speed he flew away was even faster than when he arrived. Did something happen?"
"What's going on inside the restaurant? Why did the City Lord leave, and we haven't seen the City Lord's son come out yet?"
"That's right, wasn't it said that the City Lord's son had his legs broken? Why isn't anyone asking about it?"
"I guess something major happened, and the City Lord couldn't attend to his son for the moment."
"Nonsense, no matter how big the matter, is it more important than one's own son?"
Everyone was chattering about the City Lord's sudden departure, showing confusion.
At the same time, they were very curious about the situation inside the restaurant.
No one dared to go in to look, so they could only whisper and cast glances inside.
"Is there anyone brave enough to go in and find out for everyone?" someone suddenly asked.
"You're the brave one. You peek at widows bathing every day and claim to be blind when you're caught. You go in and see now. If you get caught, we'll all say you're blind," another person quipped.
"Hahahaha..."
The person who spoke earlier was rebutted like this, and everyone burst into laughter.
While they were discussing, You Wende quickly returned. A figure landed directly at the entrance of the restaurant, and a moment later, he entered the restaurant again.
(⊙o⊙)...
The crowd watching from outside was stunned.
They couldn't understand what was happening.
The City Lord had just left and returned, and they didn't know what the situation was.
Everyone was very confused about the City Lord's actions.
You Wende paid no mind to others' thoughts or guesses. He quickly retrieved the jade pendant and rushed to deliver it.
Upon returning to the private room, You Wende respectfully handed the jade pendant to Xia Feng.
"Master, it's the Seven-Colored Plate."
As soon as You Wende took out the jade pendant, the little pig's voice echoed in Xia Feng's mind.
This was the third Seven-Colored Plate; there were still four remaining.
It was almost half complete. Once these Seven-Colored Plates were gathered, his identity would be revealed.
The closer he got to completing the Seven-Colored Plates, the more Xia Feng couldn't suppress his desire to know his identity.
Xia Feng took the jade pendant handed over by You Wende, played with it for a while, and then put it away.
"Given your contribution of the jade pendant, I will spare your lives. If you harm ordinary people in the future, acting as accomplices to evil, I can appear at any time to take your lives."
Xia Feng finished speaking and prepared to leave, as everyone had already eaten.
The main reason for sparing the father and son was that You Wende had not harbored any killing intent towards Xia Feng when he arrived.
"Thank you, Saint Emperor," You Wende quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude, escorting Xia Feng out of the restaurant.
Arriving at the restaurant's front desk, Xia Feng placed a Saint Crystal on the counter.
Xia Feng led the few women out of the restaurant, leaving the surrounding crowd dumbfounded.
What was going on?
They walked out safe and sound?
As Xia Feng walked, everyone made way for him.
You Wende watched Xia Feng leave and knelt on the ground again, shouting, "Farewell, Saint Emperor."
