Chapter 157 Extorting Someone's Life Without Paying the Price
"Distinguished guest, would you like to order anything else?"
Seeing that the drinks had all been ordered, the waiter asked, trembling.
He was incredibly excited. Not only was he about to make a fortune today, but he had also run into Shen Rugo, the legendary genius of the Star Palace. Luckily, he hadn't completely offended her before.
"Well, let me take another look. You go down first and have them bring the dishes and wine up as soon as possible."
Shen Rugo then let the waiter go.
"Honorable guest, please wait a moment!"
The waiter responded and turned to leave.
Just then, a voice rang out: "Haha, I really didn't expect that this fellow Daoist is actually a master from the Star Palace, and this young friend is actually the genius Shen Rugo who has been making headlines these past few days."
Disrespect, disrespect!
"Waiter, don't go yet. I remember your shop also has some specialty snacks. Bring the menu so that my friend Shen Rugo can order a few more."
Everyone looked over, and even the waiter who had been happily leaving quickly turned back.
The speaker was none other than Wu Yuanshan, who was considered a sucker.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know us?"
I'm so sorry to have troubled you with all that money."
Qinghe Daoist hurriedly bowed to Wu Yuanshan.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him was Wu Yuanshan or had any ulterior motives, Qinghe Daoren felt bad about eating a free meal from him today, so he naturally spoke to him politely.
"Don't be so polite, don't be so polite. It is my honor to have you here."
I'm so sorry, my eyesight is poor, I didn't recognize you at first.
No wonder I heard magpies chirping as soon as I stepped outside today; it turns out I was about to encounter Shen Rugo, the number one genius of the Star Palace, and this extraordinary person!
Wu Yuanshan's voice rose even higher, his face full of eagerness.
"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. I'm not some kind of master, just an ordinary, slovenly old Daoist, someone even the waiter wouldn't look down on."
As for my disciple, he's only ten years old, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator. Don't overestimate him!
Qinghe Daoren, unaware of Wu Yuanshan's true intentions, became increasingly cautious.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. It is truly our good fortune to meet you today."
Hello, I am a wandering cultivator. This child is my only disciple.
We came here hoping to try our luck and see if we could meet a master from a major sect who could give us some guidance.
I never expected to actually encounter a master from the Star Palace. I must learn from this master and also make a good acquaintance with Shen Rugo, the genius of the Star Palace.
If you don't mind, we can combine the two tables into one.
As Wu Yuanshan spoke, he left his private seat and walked over, with Wu Xuemei following behind.
Wu Xuemei naturally understood Wu Yuanshan's intention: to sit at the same table with Shen Rugo and the others to facilitate communication and to make it easier to carry out her plan secretly.
Wu Yuanshan, that old devil, finally couldn't hold back any longer. Although Uncle Qinghe was incredibly powerful and his cultivation level might even surpass that of the old devil, the old devil was despicable, shameless, and ruthless. If they were to actually sit at the same table for a meal, they feared that after the meal, both of them would fall victim to his clutches and their lives would be in grave danger.
Before Qinghe Daoren could speak, Shen Rugo stood up and stood in front of Wu Yuanshan, saying with a smile, "Uncle, I'm really sorry, but I love food and enjoy life the most."
But I also have a major quirk: I hate eating with strangers.
"Uncle and Miss, if you think I've ordered too much food and you can't afford it or are reluctant to pay, then I'll pay for this meal myself!"
"this?"
Wu Yuanshan, who had already stepped forward, paused, looking embarrassed.
"I'm so sorry, sir, and young lady, if you don't have many spirit stones and are really reluctant to treat us, then forget it."
"We can afford this small amount of spirit stones!"
Shen Rugo spoke again, her tone full of sarcasm.
"Although Shen Rugo is exceptionally talented, how can she be so insensitive?"
"They spent so many spirit stones to treat her to a meal, and she won't even sit at the same table?"
"Everyone says Shen Rugo is cunning and eccentric, and it's true!"
Immediately, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
As the crowd whispered among themselves, Wu Xuemei looked even more aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly tugged at Wu Yuanshan's sleeve, "Master, since this little sister doesn't like eating with strangers, let's just forget about it!"
That vixen, she really knows how to act.
Now, this princess's reputation is going to be ruined again.
Shen Rugo frowned. Wu Xuemei's acting skills were truly superb; if she were in later generations, she would definitely be empress.
"I can't even stand it anymore, how can there be such a person in the world!"
"No matter how talented or genius one is, if one has a bad temperament, it will be difficult to achieve great things!"
"We originally had high hopes for the Star Palace, hoping that under Shen Rugo's leadership, it could become one of the top ten sects in the entire Tianyuan Continent and bring honor to our northwest corner. Now it seems that I was just being delusional!"
Some people even spat twice to show their anger.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Rugo, their initial admiration turning into disgust.
"How about we sit at the same table?"
Qinghe Daoist's expression changed, and he said in a low voice.
Shen Rugo is bound to rise to prominence in the future, and he really doesn't want her reputation to be ruined before she even gets a chance to rise.
His words brought a surge of joy to Wu Yuanshan and Wu Xuemei.
They still haven't figured out Qinghe Daoren's identity, but since he was able to accompany Shen Rugo, his status in the Star Palace must be quite high.
It's even possible that it was the person who made the move that day.
If we can truly sit at the same table with them and secretly take them down, then the Star Palace will be nothing to fear.
Before Qinghe Daoren could finish speaking, Shen Rugo's face hardened. "Uncle-Master, you know my temper. I absolutely cannot have strangers around when I'm enjoying delicious food."
If this young lady and this senior are unwilling to pay the bill, then that's fine, we'll pay ourselves.
"At worst, I'll cut two-thirds of the food and drinks we ordered, and we can still afford it."
As soon as Shen Rugo said this, everyone burst into laughter.
So it turns out Shen Rugo didn't have that many spirit stones; she ordered so many dishes just to make people ripped off.
Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly came over and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Honorable guest, please don't misunderstand. These two guests have been staying in our restaurant for several days. They are absolutely generous and magnanimous. Everyone in our restaurant knows about their hospitality and generosity. Even the customers in the neighborhood know about their hospitality and generosity. They will definitely not deny their debts. You can rest assured and eat with peace of mind."
What a joke! We can't miss this opportunity to make a fortune.
Shen Rugo chuckled to herself. Sure enough, the waiter panicked as soon as he heard she wanted to return the dish and rushed to help her.
"Since this young friend has this peculiar habit, we won't disturb him any longer. We can have a proper chat after we finish eating!"
As for the food and wine, don't return them. Waiter, bring on any more snacks you have. We don't care about these spirit stones!
Wu Yuanshan quickly waved his hand and said.
