A middle-aged man walked out of the room, looking at Luo Xi and a young man he didn't recognize standing together. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who is this?"

"He...he's just someone asking for directions!" Meiying quickly interjected, glancing at Liu Zixuan before running to the middle-aged man's side, "Dad, let's go inside and have dinner."

"Asking for directions?" The middle-aged man gave Liu Zixuan a strange look, sensing that Liu Zixuan wasn't an ordinary person!

But at this moment, he didn't think too much and went into the private room with Meiying.

That sentence just now left Liu Zixuan dumbfounded!

A few seconds ago, Meiying was still threatening Liu Zixuan with her family, logically she should have told the middle-aged man Liu Zixuan's true identity.

This way, not only would she avenge Liu Zixuan's earlier teasing of her, but she might also reclaim the Nameless Sword!

But she didn't, as if she was deliberately protecting Liu Zixuan.

This action left Liu Zixuan puzzled.

"Look, Luo Xi, this guy just can't walk straight when he sees a pretty girl. They've all gone into the private room, and he's still lingering there!"

Aunt San and Luo Xi walked over to Liu Zixuan, speaking meaningfully.

Luo Xi was slightly annoyed, tugging at Liu Zixuan, "What are you doing?"

"Why is this happening!"

Liu Zixuan entered the private room with the two beauties and told them what had happened.

That middle-aged man just now was the Sect Leader of Celestial Capital, known as Little Liu. Aunt San naturally knew him, but as they were standing at the stairway, she didn't greet him earlier.

Aunt San frowned slightly, "So, Bei Meiyin didn't expose your identity, yet considering your grudge, it's not protection, there must be other reasons."

"This is the first time I've known her full name is Bei Meiyin!" Liu Zixuan chuckled awkwardly. Teasing someone for so long and not knowing their full name is quite an embarrassing thing!

Luo Xi muttered, "You've been flirting with her and you don't even know her name!"

"Pfft!"

Aunt San saw Luo Xi getting jealous and quickly explained, "I was just joking earlier. To be precise, that Bei Meiyin is on the opposite side of Liu Zixuan, not someone he's pursuing."

"Really?"

"He might trick you, but would I trick you?"

Seeing Aunt San's serious demeanor, Luo Xi reluctantly smiled, glancing at Liu Zixuan, muttering, "Lucky you!"

Liu Zixuan grinned, wondering who he had offended!

Sighing helplessly, he said, "I really don't know what Bei Meiyin is up to."

"If you can't figure it out, just don't. These things will become clear in time!"

As they spoke, the three of them ordered some specialty dishes to taste.

Approximately ten minutes later, as they were almost done eating, the door to the private room was knocked on.

Liu Zixuan stood up and opened the door, and the person in front of him surprised him, not expecting him to come!

He couldn't help but frown and ask, "What's this about..."

The visitor was the middle-aged man from before, the Sect Leader of Celestial Capital known as Little Liu! His full name is Bei Tianyang!

Little Liu smiled warmly, "I heard from the waiter that Aunt San is in this private room, so I came to offer a toast. I just didn't expect that young man who was asking for directions would be here too!"

"Oh, isn't this Brother Liu. Please come in!" Before Liu Zixuan could speak, Aunt San got up and welcomed Little Liu, inviting him to sit at the table.

Regarding the person once known as suave and the smartest among the top ten influential figures, Liu Zixuan mused silently, this guy definitely isn't just here to toast Aunt San!

After Liu Zixuan sat down, Little Liu smiled, "In my impression, Aunt San has always stayed in her bar and never comes out. What's got you visiting East City today?"

"Why? Afraid I'm here to find an opportunity to steal your business?" Aunt San laughed.

"Hahaha, why would you say that, Aunt San? If you're interested in our loss-making business, I'd gladly hand it over!"

Little Liu showed neither anger nor joy, maintaining a calm demeanor.

The calmer he remained, the more it showed his complexity!

The earlier mention of asking for directions was a huge contradiction in itself.

Even though Aunt San didn't frequent East City, she knew it inside out. With her around, why would anyone need to ask for directions?

Even Liu Zixuan didn't believe that excuse, let alone the savvy Little Liu.

Aunt San asked, "What distinguished guest are you entertaining here, Brother Liu?"

"Nothing much, just someone here to buy antiques." Little Liu waved his hand, "I sustain myself through buying and selling antiques all day, unlike you, Aunt San, with the largest nightclub in West City, where food and drink are never a concern!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi, "And who might these two be..."

"This is my brother and that's my sister-in-law." Aunt San didn't mention their names!

"What a matching pair. I've never heard of Aunt San having such a brother and sister-in-law!"

Little Liu shifted his focus to Liu Zixuan, smiling, "Young man, you've just arrived in Celestial Capital, haven't you?"

"That's right." Liu Zixuan nodded.

"In that case, you probably haven't got much to do. Aunt San's places are all about entertainment, and it wouldn't suit young people like you to be there. Would you be interested in coming to East City to work at my company?"

"Wait!"

Before Liu Zixuan could speak, Aunt San immediately interrupted, "What, Brother Liu thinks I can't support my brother, and he needs to work?"

"Aunt San, you're joking. I wasn't suggesting your brother works for me, more like collaborating on some business." Little Liu paused, speaking with a double meaning, "Some people need support, some need to work, but some are born to do great things!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Liu, but my brother prefers a simple life, and he's not interested in doing great things!" Aunt San said, placing the empty wine glass in front of Little Liu.

This action was also an unspoken rule at the table.

When the host places an empty glass in front of the guest, it's a subtle hint to leave.

Little Liu, seeing this, chuckled with meaning, "If Aunt San's sending me away, I naturally won't linger, but I do have something to say!"

"Then say it quickly." Aunt San said coldly.

"It's been years since East and West City had such excitement, with undercurrents flowing. Each family has its own thoughts. I hope Aunt San can hold onto her principles and quietly manage your bar in West City. Don't let some restless people ruin everything you have!"

"Thank you for your advice, Little Liu. I do enjoy peace, and if no one bothers me, I naturally won't care. But if someone deliberately makes trouble, I'm not easy to provoke!"
