Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Discuss_1

After a while, seeing that there were only two or three dishes on the list, Feng Yuan added a few more after some thought. He glanced at Xiao Ji, who was still flipping through the menu, and said with a hint of helplessness,

"Haven’t you decided yet?"

Xiao Ji glanced at the order sheet full of edits, shook her head, and sighed. Feng Yuan waited patiently for Xiao Ji to finish choosing her food. The old guard sipped his tea patiently, watching Feng Yuan negotiate with the Spirit Beasts, a slight smile appearing on his face. After some time, Feng Yuan didn’t show the list to the old guard but handed it directly to the waiter. Taking a sip of his tea, the old guard looked thoughtfully at Feng Yuan and said,

"You seem to recognize me?"

"Why would you say that? Including this time, we’ve only met twice."

"No, you know what I mean."

Under the old guard’s gaze, Feng Yuan was silent for a moment, swirling the tea in his cup with a shake of his hand. He put the cup down and looked at the slowly disappearing vortex inside it before speaking softly,

"I don’t care about such things, why should you?"

"It seems you really do know... but then again, with your strength, He wouldn’t hide such trifles from you."

"Thank you, thank you for your contributions to this world."

Looking at the tea cup raised by the old guard, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Shouldn’t we be drinking wine at a time like this?"

Raising his tea cup with a slight shake, the old guard’s pale face broke into a smile and he said,

"I believe the wine here might not be to your taste."

After clinking his tea cup gently against the old guard’s, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"How could it not be, I’m not particularly fussy about food, as long as it’s not too terrible."

"Otherwise, I would have starved to death by now, wouldn’t I?"

"Haha, it would be a joke if you were to die of hunger."

"I don’t see it that way~"

While the two of them chatted, Xiao Ji felt somewhat bored and chased around the Dreaming Dragon Baby, playing nearby. Feng Yuan glanced at them and saw that the two little guys were very considerate and not bothering other people; he thought about it and let them be. Najia sat on top of Big Cat’s head, whispering something to Agunas’s specter, occasionally letting out a low exclamation of surprise.

"I can’t believe those guys would dare to do such a heinous act."

Having listened to Feng Yuan’s account of the commotion the G Organization caused in the western district, the old guard said angrily. Glancing at the old guard, Feng Yuan said softly,

"The things you do, in the eyes of most people, aren’t they also considered heinous?"

"It seems you have a different view of them?"

"Nothing different. I’ve just seen too much, and if it doesn’t bother me directly, I prefer not to intervene. After all, where do right and wrong come from without taking sides?"

"Ah, I didn’t expect to meet you here~"

Hearing the voice, Feng Yuan turned around and saw Gladys, dressed in a black evening gown, slowly approaching. The luxurious gown made Gladys look dignified and elegant. Many men sneakily glanced at her with the corners of their eyes. The old guard watched Gladys calmly, his unemotional gaze as if she were just an ordinary passerby.

"It seems you don’t welcome me much~"

Seeing Feng Yuan look at her as if she were an ordinary person, Gladys covered her mouth with her hand and smiled slightly.

"It’s not that you aren’t welcome, it’s just that your appearance always seems to bring trouble."

"When you’re dressed less conspicuously, I might consider inviting you for a meal. Of course, my treat, but you pay."

"Why should I pay if you’re the one inviting?"

Seeing Gladys elegantly laugh, Feng Yuan calmly set down his cutlery and said,

"Don’t you think your laugh is very fake? We prefer not to mix too much purpose into our small talk."

"Your statement is quite interesting~ Since you all don’t welcome me, I’ll take my leave first~ Mysterious boy~"

Watching Gladys leave with a twist of her hips, the old guard calmly said,

"She seems to have taken an interest in you."

"Is that so?"

Feng Yuan calmly picked up his utensils and began to enjoy his food again. Noticing that Dreaming Dragon Baby and Xiao Ji had started fighting over food again, Feng Yuan stretched out his hand to gently pat Dreaming Dragon Baby on the head, and then gently patted Xiao Ji on the head, saying,

"Enough is enough. I can put up with your antics usually, but can’t you two behave in a high-class restaurant?"

Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby simultaneously stuck out their tongues at Feng Yuan and then moved away to continue their food contest, but this time much quieter.

Sipping his drink in small gulps, the old guard gazed at Gladys in the distance, talking to a middle-aged man, and said,

"The Diviner of Fate, her reputation is well-known among the upper classes. But for some reason, I’ve always felt something odd about the Mordan Clan..."

"With their power over time, even though their origins seem verifiable, instinct always tells me they appeared out of nowhere. This strange feeling makes me not too fond of getting close to them."

"What’s your take on the Mordan Clan?"

Seeing the old guard looking curiously at him, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"They are not enemies, and though I’m not quite clear on what their situation is, I’m sure they are not outsiders. To know the specifics, I guess you’d have to ask Him."

There were some things Feng Yuan didn’t say. His first encounter with Gladys led him to some guesses, which he was somewhat reluctant to verify, so even now, he was unclear about the situation with the Mordan Clan and Gladys.

"Not outsiders, you say? Then there is no need to pay them any mind."

Seeing the old guard appear to let go of something after hearing his explanation and calmly enjoying his drink, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"I think you and Agunas seem to speak the same language, both focusing only on outsiders."

Agunas, who had switched places with a shadow, set down the food in his paw and glanced at the old guard, saying,

"I have nothing in common with him. Perhaps Ernis might."

Looking at Agunas, the old guard smiled slightly and said,

"It seems I am being shunned."

Agunas paid no attention to the old guard and quietly ate his food. Seeing Agunas’s polite demeanor, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Don’t you think it’s more satisfying to eat heartily?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas calmly said,

"I don’t think so."

"So you’ve been to Odinis for battle too?"

After they finished their dinner, the waiter served them an array of desserts. Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby constantly battled over the Spirit Beast desserts. Perhaps because the desserts were more tempting, Dreaming Dragon Baby successfully drew Najia to their side to confront Xiao Ji, who, not to be outdone, pulled Agunas to her side. As for Big Cat? That dazed creature was simultaneously shunned by both Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby.

Watching the playful struggle between Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby, Najia and Agunas glanced over at Big Cat, who was enjoying a dessert on his own. In particular, Big Cat took advantage of the distraction of their contest to secretly use telekinesis to steal desserts from their plates. Seeing Big Cat’s opportunistic gains, Najia and Agunas exchanged knowing smiles and, after setting wards on their own plates, joined the fray between Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby.

After a small sip of tea, the old guard said calmly,

"That’s natural, everyone who’s free would go to such a big event. But I didn’t expect those guys to get impatient so quickly."

"No idea what exactly happened, but they were so eager to make a move, as if they think every nation is a pushover."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he drew a motion in the air, and a semi-transparent screen appeared before him. Sitting across from Feng Yuan, the old guard looked through the semi-transparent screen. Although the writing was mirrored, making it difficult to read, he could recognize from the images and UI layout that Feng Yuan was looking at a news report.

"As expected, it’s been exposed."

Feng Yuan pointed to one of the news reports as he spoke, swiped fiercely on the screen, and a smaller screen separated from it. The old guard watched with interest.
