Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 139 Restaurant Conflict

Yes, this witch is Shui Lin. Although everyone was dressed in ordinary clothes, Luo Xi recognized her at a glance.

Shui Lin and Shui Lin had fought together in Qianhe County, Nuchuan City, and had even made a bet.

"Fellow Daoist Shui Lin, it's been a long time," Luo Xi said immediately upon seeing Shui Lin's confused expression. "I am Luo Xi, and she is Qiangwei. We should know each other."

"What are you doing here?" Shui Lin's beautiful blue eyes still held a hint of doubt. "Has anything unusual happened in Qinglan City?"

"...No, no," Luo Xi smiled, "We came to Qinglan City mainly for two things."

"First, in my capacity as the supreme leader of the Vistresses Group, I invite you to join the Vistresses Group." Luo Xi regained her composure and said earnestly, "Our group already has several witches, ranging from beginner to intermediate to near-advanced."

"The World Guardians Group is primarily an organization dedicated to maintaining world peace and ensuring the safety of witches," Luo Xi said, glancing at Rose. "Of course, ensuring the safety of witches is our top priority."

"Oh, right, you invited me before, but I forgot," Shui Lin said, lost in thought, before agreeing, "I can join, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Luo Xi asked curiously.

"Sleep with me for a while," Shui Lin said with a playful smile.

"puff………………"

The ellipsis represents the length of the milk tea that Luo Xin, the younger sister, sprayed out.

Fortunately, Luo Xi reacted quickly and dodged her sister's spray attack. She then fell into thought—did she even need to think about this? Of course she'd agree… what a load of rubbish!

Luo Xi immediately spoke, looking seriously at Shui Lin: "Are you serious?"

"Hehehe," Shui Lin chuckled, "Your expression is really funny. Don't worry, it was just a joke, just teasing you."

Hearing it was a joke, Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Aren't you going to ask about the compensation?"

"Treatment?" Shui Lin asked, puzzled. "You probably don't know my capabilities."

"Strength? An E-rank witch, huh?" Luo Xi replied without hesitation. "I knew you were hiding your strength all along."

"That's not what I meant," Shui Lin shook her head. "My family owns 80% of Qinglan City's assets in various fields, including healthcare, education, and finance."

...That's indeed quite impressive," Luo Xi thought to herself, when her younger sister, Luo Xin, spoke up with dissatisfaction.

"That's it? That's it? I thought you were much more powerful," Luo Xin seemed pleased by Shui Lin's words and even started to compare, "You probably don't know, but Dachang City is entirely my family's, it belongs to my Weishizhe Group, and Dachang City is the capital city of Yunze Province!"

Luo Xi was somewhat speechless. She immediately pulled her younger sister, Luo Xin, and introduced her, saying, "This is my younger sister, Luo Xin."

"What an adorable witch," Shui Lin said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned, before her expression turned puzzled. "And the second thing? What is it?"

"I'm planning to destroy the Witch Council branch in Qinglan City," Luo Xi said directly, without hiding anything, "so I'd like to hear your opinion first."

After saying that, Luo Xi looked at Shui Lin intently, waiting for her reply.

Shui Lin is a witch in Qinglan City. She doesn't know if Shui Lin has any connection with the witch council branch in Qinglan City, so she plans to sound out Shui Lin first.

"That's no problem," Shui Lin nodded. "I've disliked them for a long time, but I have friends working in the branch, and you can't hurt them."

"That's no problem," Luo Xi said, relieved by Shui Lin's reply. "Then tell your friends not to go to the branch these next few days. I will eradicate them all."

"Okay," Shui Lin said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, I'll take you to the most upscale and luxurious restaurant in Qinglan City for a feast!"

Everyone smiled and agreed.

……

Theodore Morgan was in a bad mood at the moment.

Upon arriving in Dachang City, Fang Wei, the person in power, not only ignored him but also openly intimidated him, which was a complete disregard for the prestige of the Morgan family. He was determined to make Fang Wei pay for this.

So he went to the Witch Council branch in Qinglan City.

As a member of the Morgan family, he had considerable authority over this level of branch. The fact that the Qinglan City Witch Council branch received him with the highest honors, and that branch president Yuan Hao personally greeted him, was proof of this.

However, he was still in a bad mood. All he wanted now was for Yuan Hao to return to Dachang City with him immediately, so that Fang Wei could kneel down and admit his mistake in person.

He simply explained his purpose and requirements, but Chairman Yuan insisted on hosting a welcome dinner for him and took him to a high-end restaurant.

"Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality," Yuan Hao said with a businesslike smile. "Mr. Morgan, you must be tired from your journey. The most important thing right now is to get some rest."

"We have prepared a welcome banquet for you. After the banquet, please rest well for the night. We will make arrangements tomorrow and depart the day after tomorrow to hold Fang Wei, the person in charge of Dachang City, accountable for his inadequate hospitality."

Theodore felt a surge of frustration. The branch president's arrangements seemed impeccable, but all of his requests to the branch were actually rejected by the other party with seemingly valid reasons.

It felt like punching cotton.

“The day after tomorrow is too late,” Theodore Morgan said. “Mr. Yuan, I hope we can set off today to immediately investigate Fang Wei’s negligence in Dachang City.”

"No, no, Mr. Morgan, you're too hasty," Yuan Hao said with a polite smile, but his heart was cold. "It's nearly a thousand kilometers from here to Dachang City. It will take us time to go and hold them accountable."

He even knows that Fang Wei is the person in charge of Dachang City? And he actually wants me to "hold him accountable"?

In theory, the two are at the same level, but Dachang City is the provincial capital. Strictly speaking, Fang Wei's rank is half a level higher than his. They just have different functions, like the difference between the armed forces and the administrative system. They are each the highest-ranking officials in their respective cities.

This fellow from the Western Continent, brimming with outdated arrogance, actually tried to drive him to turn against his own colleagues.

Just then, Yuan Hao's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned to Theodore Morgan, giving him an apologetic smile. "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Theodore Morgan's expression darkened further.

……

After getting off the bus, the witches stood in front of a building that was gleaming with gold and color, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

It's less of a restaurant and more of a modern palace.

The ivory-white marble facade reflects bright light under the sun, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the sky and cloud shadows. A specially designed shallow pool outside the building reflects the entire building, shimmering in the sunlight, as if it is floating between the water and the sky.

With a hint of smugness, Shui Lin took the lead and walked forward.

"Hello, in accordance with the council's management requirements, we are no longer accepting guests here," the security guard said, blocking her way.

Shui Lin's expression immediately turned sour. This was her family's restaurant, her private place, and it had been used to entertain other guests.

She recalled that she had told many people that the hotel could be used to receive important guests, including the president of the Qinglan City Witch Council branch and the city's leaders.

They are currently being kept outside, presumably because one of them is inside entertaining guests.

Thinking of the security personnel's mention of "parliamentary management requirements," Shui Lin concluded that the Qinglan City Witch Council branch must have occupied this place.

Although she was somewhat angry, Shui Lin couldn't lash out on the spot, since it was what she had said.

She immediately took out her phone and dialed a number: "President Yuan, are you inside? I brought a friend to the restaurant for dinner, but the people outside won't let me in. Please notify them as soon as possible and open a green channel for me."
