Having gathered nearly all the information they needed, Mo Jiuli and the others stood up to leave.
At that moment, the waiter who had accepted Guyan’s Dark Stone earlier rushed over and said, “Esteemed customer, if you wish to attend the Auction tonight, I happen to have two invitations right here.
To express my gratitude for your tip, I’m giving these two invitations to you!
Please take your time leaving…”
Without waiting for Guyan to refuse, the waiter stuffed the invitations into Guyan’s hands!
Guyan was startled and wondered why he felt something odd about this?
Since when are waiters at restaurants so generous…
“Let’s go!” Mo Jiuli glanced at the retreating figure of the waiter and spoke with a flash of insight in her eyes.
“Jiuli, what about this?” Guyan asked, holding up the invitations in his hand.
The invitations were exquisitely made and clearly expensive, not resembling anything a mere waiter should possess.
“Let’s go.
That person is the boss of this restaurant, not a waiter!” Mo Jiuli explained nonchalantly.
“Ah…” Guyan exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
The boss?
He turned to look back at the restaurant hall and indeed, he could no longer see the waiter from before.
As he followed Mo Jiuli out, Guyan’s mind was filled with doubt, but he felt certain there was no mistake in Jiuli’s words!
Yet it was quite bizarre that the boss of the restaurant, rather than attending to his own business, would choose to disguise himself as a waiter…
No wonder that man spoke with such familiarity about the underground Auction House, as if he had visited it countless times!
Surely, an ordinary waiter could not visit so often, and even if he heard about it, how much could he really know…
Sigh… the world is so vast, indeed there are all kinds of bosses!
Guyan mused to himself…
Up on the second floor of Hanlin Tavern, at a window seat, stood a man dressed as a waiter, watching Mo Jiuli and her companions leave until their figures disappeared.
Only then did the man withdraw his gaze…
His expression was no longer that of the attentive waiter below, but rather was dignified and elegant with an edge that commanded respect and deterred trivialization…
With a sweep of his hand across his face, his ordinary features subtly shifted, revealing a strikingly handsome face—it was Mo Jun, who had previously crossed paths with Mo Jiuli…
At a table inside the room, a man in blue clothes sprawled as if boneless, raising an eyebrow at Mo Jun and questioning, “Tell me, Mo Jun, could you have taken a fancy to that woman?
To me, she seems quite ordinary, aside from those distinctive eyes, there’s nothing special about her!
Do you really need to go to such lengths to wait on her personally, even posing as a server?”
The man scorned Mo Jun’s behavior.
“Wa Zhen, what would a heartless man like you understand?” Mo Jun replied disdainfully.
“Mo Jun, I am now your senior brother!” Wa Zhen expressed his displeasure.
“If you aren’t happy, I can leave the sect at any time!
You should know, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have taken a master!” Mo Jun retorted with a blank look at Wa Zhen.
“Hmph, no way!
You better forget about it.
You are my junior fellow apprentice for life, junior fellow apprentice, junior fellow apprentice!
Important things must be said three times, and you will always be my junior fellow apprentice…” Wa Zhen said lazily, lifting his eyelids as he spoke.
“Suit yourself!” Mo Jun said, unwilling to argue further.
Mo Jun had not expected to encounter Mo Jiuli again—her image had lingered in his mind since that first glance, and he had thought he would never see her again in this lifetime…
