Xiao Jin strode towards the woman occupying his usual seat. Perhaps because Bing Zhi was also a martial artist, she could tell from his footsteps that he was no ordinary person. His steps were steady, which made her instinctively wary of the approaching man.
“Sir, your wine is ready. That, that, we’ve prepared a private room for you…” The waiter could only think of this way to make amends.
Xiao Jin’s sharp gaze immediately swept over the waiter. “You should understand my habits. Now, what will you do?” He looked towards Bing Zhi, who was still lowering her head eating noodles. Though he said nothing explicitly, his meaning was crystal clear.
“This…” The waiter was truly caught between a rock and a hard place. Customers were gods, and Xiao Jin was a god among gods!
At this moment, Bing Zhi stood up. She was not specifically helping the waiter out of his predicament, but simply because it was time for her to leave. “Waiter, please settle the bill.”
As she stood and raised her head, she happened to meet Xiao Jin’s now-calm gaze.
A tall, slender young man in his early twenties, dressed in a flowing white robe, gave the impression of someone from a distinguished background, as evidenced by the ornaments at his waist. His eyes looked lazy, but upon closer inspection, they carried an almost imperceptible killing intent that inspired fear.
This was definitely not an ordinary person. Bing Zhi made this simple judgment in her heart. But she did not need to know who he was.
She had come only for revenge.
When Xiao Jin saw Bing Zhi’s appearance, he did not seem particularly surprised. Instead, a hard-to-decipher light flashed in his eyes.
“Oh! Okay. Five coins.” The waiter quickly said. Bing Zhi was already lowering her head to find her wallet to pay. As she reached for her bag, the jade pendant appeared in her view again. “It will be useful,” was the only words Wang Bo had time to say when giving her the jade.

“Wait,” Xiao Jin said. Seeing the jade pendant confirmed his thoughts. “This lady’s bill is on my account. Also, find her a clean and elegant room.” As he spoke, he seemed to deliberately lift his robe, revealing something that was previously hidden.
