Chapter 78: 78 Chapters: Riverside Residence Like the Moon

When Su Youyi and Yu Gejing came together, they found He Zhiqing and Liang Yi sitting side by side fishing by the lake, each with a bamboo pole and a large clear water ball floating beside them.

There were two carp swimming in He Zhiqing’s water ball, while the water ball next to Liang Yi contained as many as nine.

"What are you guys doing?" Su Youyi and her companion couldn’t quite make sense of the scene.

"Shh..."

With a serious expression, He Zhiqing held a finger to his lips to signal silence, his other hand tightly gripping the bamboo pole, thoroughly engrossed in the act of fishing.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother He, you’ve lost!"

Liang Yi burst into laughter, powerfully lifting his bamboo pole and dragging a carp out of the water. Sprinkled water sparkled under the sunlight, and the carp accurately landed in the water ball next to him.

"Ah, why is my luck so bad?" He Zhiqing retracted his bamboo pole, expressing his confusion helplessly.

"It depends who you compare it to." Liang Yi was beaming, responding smugly.

A handsome man watched over by the Goddess of Fortune, afraid of losing at luck?

"What are you two up to?"

Yu Gejing, seeing his junior brother somewhat downcast, stepped forward and gently stroked his hair as a gesture of comfort.

"Senior Brother He got overly enthusiastic, insisting on comparing our luck without using any Mana to see who could catch ten koi first."

Liang Yi pointed to the large water ball floating beside him, filled with ten brilliantly colored carp happily swimming.

Curious, Su Youyi stood by the water ball, her delicate hand teasing a small carp inside, causing the fish to dart about, yet unable to escape Su Youyi’s grasp.

"It makes no sense! We’re sitting so close, using the same bait, and I’m not inexperienced in fishing. Why such a big difference?" He Zhiqing returned his water ball to the lake, utterly puzzled.

"Everyone says I’m fairly lucky, and being close to Sister Su also gives a special boost, but you wouldn’t believe it."

Liang Yi pulled his junior sister’s hand out, dried it, and also returned the carp to the lake.

"Really?" Su Youyi felt sweet inside upon hearing her senior brother’s words.

"Of course, this is a precious experience I’ve summed up. If I say there’s a boost, there is one."

Liang Yi confidently nodded, believing himself to be a man watched over by the Goddess of Fortune, with his junior sister surely her beloved daughter.

"Truly undeniable! Next time we go treasure hunting in the Secret Realm, I’ll have you and your junior sister lead the way," He Zhiqing said cheerfully.

"Sure thing! Just make sure the treasures are worth it!" Liang Yi agreed readily.

"You haven’t found a place to stay yet, have you?" Yu Gejing glanced at his junior brother, asking Liang Yi.

"Well, we were planning on staying at the Little Bamboo House," Liang Yi admitted.

"Since we have plenty of rooms and only a few maids and us living here, it’s quite quiet. Besides, Su Sister and I still have some heart-to-heart talks to finish. Why not stay with us for a few days?" Yu Gejing suggested.

Liang Yi thought about his master’s good relationship with powerful Fang Zhi, and that his senior brother and he were also on good terms; there seemed no need to decline.

"Then, my junior sister and I will impose on you two for the next few days," Liang Yi bowed slightly to Yu Gejing and his companion.

"No need for formalities, Junior Brother Liang. I actually have some questions about luck I’d like to discuss with you," Senior Brother He slung his arm around Liang Yi.

The four of them saw that it was getting late and decided to go out to eat something while chatting.

Underneath the willow with the moon overhead, the city was still brightly lit and lively.

Qingliang City, known as the "Never-Sleeping Immortal City", earned its name for a reason.

Various kinds of Spiritual Lamps illuminated the surroundings, the joyful, laughing crowd on the streets was endless, even busier than during the day.

"What did you and Senior Sister Yu talk about?" Walking behind He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing, Liang Yi quietly asked his junior sister, holding her hand.

Although Liang Yi was extremely familiar with Qingliang, Senior Sister Yu was taking them to a tavern with good flavors, and he was happy to follow behind, creating a chance for them to be alone together.

"I...didn’t say much," Su Youyi spoke with embarrassment, clearly not wanting to tell Liang Yi.

"Can’t you even tell me?" Liang Yi looked suspicious.

"It was just some casual topics," Su Youyi’s eyes darted around, not daring to look directly at her senior brother.

"Liang Junior Brother, inquiring about girls’ private chats is not a polite behavior~" Yu Gejing, who was walking ahead, threw back a remark.

He Zhiqing silently took note of this remark in his heart, vowing never to make such a mistake in the future.

"Ha ha, I was just asking casually," Liang Yi, who was caught red-handed, blushed and scratched his head.

"If senior brother really wants to know, I’ll tell you quietly when there’s no one around."

Su Youyi tugged on Liang Yi’s sleeve, gesturing for the senior brother to bend down so she could whisper in his ear.

Yu Gejing, ahead of them, smiled helplessly, thinking to herself how they only had eyes for each other, while her own blockhead of a partner didn’t even bother to show her some concern.

Then she gave He Zhiqing a glare.

He Zhiqing was completely puzzled, what did I do this time?

Walking along the city’s river for a while, the four arrived in front of a restaurant.

"We are here. This is opened by a friend of mine from Immortal City. The taste is excellent, not inferior to Little Bamboo House," Yu Gejing introduced.

Liang Yi and the others looked up at the sign over the door, which read:

"Riverside Moon Residence"

Liang Yi suddenly realized, so it was this place. In his past life, players on forums used to promote this restaurant, claiming its taste was on par with Little Bamboo House.

But was Liang Yi the type to forsake leveling up for the sake of culinary delights?

If it weren’t for posts mentioning the stunning beauty of the restaurant’s proprietress, he wouldn’t have bothered coming!

Unfortunately, he hadn’t seen her during his previous visits.

"Let’s go in," Yu Gejing led the way.

The interior decoration of the eatery was the same as in his past life, with no changes.

Due to the recent influx of people in Qingliang, even Riverside Moon Residence, usually sparse with customers, was now packed.

"Who would have thought that a randomly chosen restaurant because Little Bamboo House was full would have such delicious food."

"Yes, it’s truly unexpected. I just don’t know why it’s not more well-known."

"Perhaps the owner is indifferent to fame and fortune, especially since Little Bamboo House is so renowned."

·····

The hall was bustling with noise, and Liang Yi and his group could easily hear praises for the restaurant being compared to Little Bamboo House.

Liang Yi and his group casually found a table in the corner.

Yu Gejing took the initiative to call over the waiter, proficiently ordering several dishes. The waiter, surprised, took a moment to look at Yu Gejing, not expecting her to be a regular and order all the signature dishes.

"Please wait a moment, we only have one chef today and it might be a bit slow due to the crowd, please be patient!"

"No worries, I’m an acquaintance of your boss, no need to mention such a small matter."

The waiter looked closely at the gentle-faced guest, trying to discern the truthfulness of her statement. He had been dragged here by his elder sister to work not long ago and didn’t really recognize past regulars.

"Thank you, customer! I’ll bring you some wine."

The waiter fetched an antique ceramic wine jug from somewhere and placed it in front of Liang Yi and the others.

"It smells amazing~" The fragrance of the wine wafted over, and Liang Yi and his friends exclaimed.
