According to old habits, after entering the city, Wang Junze still booked a room in the largest inn.

However, unlike other places, the inns in Netherworld City offer better services, but are also more expensive.

The most expensive suite here, the Heaven room, is a whole courtyard with small rooms prepared for maids and servants, but the cost is also extraordinarily high—three hundred spirit stones per night!

To know that back in Jubei City, Wang Junze bought the Dragon Roar Sword for only five hundred spirit stones.

The price is simply like robbery.

Nevertheless, Wang Junze didn't even blink before directly paying for ten days' rent.

In other places, one can keep a low profile, but in Netherworld City, he aimed to be as high-profile as possible; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to approach beings like Dugu Feng.

As for spirit stones, Wang Junze really didn't care much about them, as they are easy to come by, and there are always clueless people willing to give them away.

After settling everyone else, he instructed the Liang siblings to go out and gather information.

Then Wang Junze took only Peng Ru and headed straight to the busiest restaurant in town.

Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building.

Although called a restaurant, in reality, it also doubles as a brothel, with musicians playing in the hall, who are qing guanren; they change every hour, and if someone takes a fancy, they can pay a high price to book one outright.

In addition, upstairs are elegant booths where you can request a girl to sing and drink with you.

However, no direct business is allowed here; if you really fancy someone, you can pay to take them out, and not far from the exit are dedicated inns for this purpose.

Most crucially, the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building does not allow disturbances. Even if you have a huge vendetta, it has to be resolved after leaving the building; otherwise, the patrons here will directly take action to kill.

Of course, the prices are also outlandishly expensive.

Even the most ordinary scattered table can cost several hundred spirit stones for a night, and if you enter the booths, spirit stones can flow like water without end.

Wang Junze came here mainly to gather information, so naturally, he didn't go to the booths but casually chose a table to sit at, with Peng Ru standing beside him, pouring wine and serving him.

Peng Ru was just too beautiful, making people involuntarily glance at her more than once.

"Yo, it's the first time I've seen someone bring a woman so beautiful to Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building; does this woman of yours happen to be for sale?"

The wine and dishes hadn't even arrived yet when someone from the next table approached to chat.

The person was looking at Peng Ru, with a frivolous tone, clearly not taking Wang Junze seriously.

Glancing over, he noticed the other person wore a fine robe, with the obvious demeanor of a playboy.

Anyone else might fear the person's status, but Wang Junze didn't care about any of that.

With a trace of sarcasm on his lips, he nonchalantly replied, "For sale, why not? One million spirit stones, non-negotiable."

"Are you bloody crazy?"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, the person's face instantly changed, swearing angrily.

"If you're broke, don't ask. Asking when you can't afford it just embarrasses yourself, doesn't it?"

Smirking, Wang Junze paid no mind to the other's reaction, even grabbing a fistful of spirit stones, and continued mocking, "How about this, kneel and kowtow to me, and all these stones are yours."

"..."

Hearing these words, the person was almost driven mad with rage, but fortunately, he remembered the rules of the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building and dared not make a move, only threatening coldly, "Don't ever set a foot out of this place if you've got guts!"

Ha, how arrogant!

I do love such arrogance, especially when I'm short on spirit stones to spend.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Ye?"

While the two were conversing, a familiar voice suddenly came from afar.

With slightly raised brows, Wang Junze immediately recognized the newcomer.

Master of All Things, the guy who was extending loans at the Netherworld Auction, had exchanged a few words with him; who would have thought he would run into him here.

"Master of All Things, do you know him?"

A venomous glow flashed in that playboy's eyes as he turned to ask Master of All Things.

"Know him? This is Young Master Ye, who was incredibly generous at the Netherworld Auction." Smilingly approaching, Master of All Things casually replied, "Young Master Meng, is there a misunderstanding? Do me a favor, everyone have a drink together, and consider this resolved, how about it?"

Obviously, Master of All Things has a wide social network; despite the playboy being somewhat unhappy, he ultimately didn't want to disrespect the other.

Coincidentally, the food and wine had just been served. Master of All Things personally poured three cups, clinking glasses with them, and considered the matter settled.

The person didn't linger much longer, turning around to leave, while Master of All Things, by contrast, readily sat down, smiling as he explained, "Don't mind, Young Master Ye; that was Young Master Meng, named Meng Meng. He isn't much himself, but he has a good father, who is under Dugu Feng."

"Dugu Feng...I've heard this name several times; what's the background?"

With a thought, Wang Junze casually asked.

This was quite a coincidence. Just going out for a drink, and he bumped into someone related to Dugu Feng again—the world really is small.

In fact, not only Wang Junze, but hearing the name Dugu Feng, Peng Ru also couldn't help but shiver slightly, her gaze subconsciously falling upon Master of All Things.

"Haha, as for the background, I don't know, but in recent years, in Netherworld City, Dugu Feng has been quite a sensational figure. Even the Netherworld Mansion has to show some respect."

Master of All Things replied with a laugh.

"That indeed sounds impressive!" Nodding, Wang Junze asked again, "I just offended this Young Master Meng; won't there be trouble?"

"Young Master Ye, you're joking; you don't seem to be the type to shy away from trouble!"

Looking at Wang Junze with a meaningful smirk, Master of All Things hinted.

Earlier, Master of All Things said Wang Junze was generous at the Netherworld Auction, but in reality, Wang Junze hadn't bought anything!

Moreover, others might not remember Peng Ru, but someone like Master of All Things, who is astute, certainly recognized that Peng Ru was the female disciple from Profound Moon Sword Sect at the auction, making it easy to guess that Wang Junze was the one who snatched the Netherworld Flying Ship that night.

Adding to the battle outside Yunxiao City later, the name Ye Piaoling had already spread across the Nether Sea, making it easy for Master of All Things to deduce that Wang Junze was Ye Piaoling.

In fact, if not for this, how could someone like Master of All Things step in to help Wang Junze due to a mere acquaintance?

"Some people you can afford to offend, and some you can't—it's wise to discern the difference."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze smiled and said, "Young Master Meng may not let it go easily—it'd be a favor if you could thoroughly share his background, so I can assess if he's someone I can provoke."

You're not fooling anyone!

Since Meng Meng already drank the wine, it clearly shows he doesn't plan to pursue the matter further.

Seems now you intend not to let him off your hook instead.
