Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

Silver Moon City, Immortal Drunk Inn.

Chu Yuan looked at the innkeeper in front of him, who was acting like a fawning dog, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

It hadn't been that long since he last saw the shopkeeper.

Why did it feel like he was dealing with a completely different person?

The shopkeeper he knew before had integrity; even with a knife to his throat, he could still joke about not opening a branch. But now, with a smile plastered on his face, he groveled, relentlessly asking about opening a branch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This confused Chu Yuan.

He had clearly told him before to open a branch at the foot of his sect's mountain; the guy was dead set against it.

And now he was actually suggesting opening a branch himself.

This baffled Chu Yuan.

Could it be that the shopkeeper had been possessed?

Impossible.

He probably just ate something wrong.

"Um, Shopkeeper, are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Yuan's gaze was full of disbelief.

"Not at all, Big Boss! I'm in great shape! Big Boss, last time you mentioned that I could open a branch at the foot of your sect's mountain, does that offer still stand? If you just nod your head, I'll start preparing for it right away."

The shopkeeper, with utmost sincerity, bent at the waist, nearly plastering his face to the floor.

He wanted to express his deep respect for the Big Boss in front of him.

This was a being close to ascension!

Within East State, who could compete with him?

Now, such a figure relaxedly sitting here.

If not now, when would one suck up?

"Let's forget about the branch for now. Look, the one standing next to you is the chef I found. Having a chef is enough; there's no need to open another branch at the mountain base."

Chu Yuan shook his head to refuse.

He was about to ask Ye Luo if he had resolved the issue.

But before he could speak, he saw the shopkeeper's eyes turn red, his gaze fixed on Li Ergang.

Li Ergang too was startled by that look and took a step back.

The shopkeeper, standing in front of the table, had bloodshot eyes.

His gaze was that of a fierce beast.

His opportunity was right in front of him, and this fat man had snatched it.

How could he stand for that?

If Chu Yuan weren't there,

The shopkeeper would have definitely flipped the table.

"Big Boss, please wait a moment. Let this friend and I go out to chat for a bit. You stay here for a while longer; someone, attend to the Big Boss. Whatever the Big Boss wants to eat or drink, bring it over."

"Um, friend, come on, let's talk about culinary matters outside."

Although the shopkeeper was suppressing his anger, he said fiercely to Li Ergang.

After speaking,

The shopkeeper bowed to Chu Yuan once again before heading downstairs to the first floor.

Li Ergang looked at the mortal shopkeeper and then at Chu Yuan, confused and unsure of what to do.

"Sect Master, what should we do now?"

Li Ergang asked, puzzled.

"You go down and see what the shopkeeper is up to. If he really wants to talk about culinary issues… try to give him some guidance,"

Chu Yuan said, waving his hand.

The shopkeeper was a good person, and he had allowed him to eat and drink for free for so long.

Although they were old acquaintances and couldn't be charged for money, he should help where he could.

Chu Yuan was quite thoughtful.

If the shopkeeper could learn even a bit of cooking technique from Li Ergang, he would definitely do well among the mortals.

He would probably earn a lot more.

Hearing this, Li Ergang naturally had no objections and went down to the first floor.

After all, he was at the Qi Refinement Stage; was he going to be scared of a mortal shopkeeper?

Seeing this, Chu Yuan, who stayed at the table, shook his head and called the waiter to start serving the dishes.

…

Immortal Drunk Inn first floor.

The first floor was already empty except for a table placed in the center.

On either side of the table, the shopkeeper and Li Ergang sat opposite each other.

```

The two looked at each other.

There was a feeling of a looming confrontation.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

After a long silence,

the shopkeeper was the first to break the stillness.

"Do you know the real identity of the big shot sitting upstairs? Don't tell me you know nothing and still dare to go and be a chef!"

His voice carried an uncontrollable anger.

The opportunity had fallen into his lap.

And to lose it because of a fat man was something the shopkeeper couldn't stand.

Li Ergang next to him wasn't the least bit intimidated, his beady eyes staring straight at the other, his usually simple expression now solemn.

Plus with his huge frame,

it was easy to feel pressured.

Of course, if one ignored the chair creaking under Li Ergang's buttocks, the pressure would be more profound.

At this moment, Li Ergang was staring intently at the shopkeeper.

"Of course I know, the Sect Master is the Hidden Sect Master of the Eastern State Cultivation World whose fame has spread far and wide recently!"

Li Ergang slowly said.

"Since you know, you still dare go and be a chef? Alright, alright, I don't want to say much else. Tell me, how much money?"

The shopkeeper snorted and spoke up.

"How much money?"

Li Ergang was momentarily dumbfounded and asked.

"How much money for you to leave the big shot's side."

The shopkeeper spoke bluntly.

As soon as these words came out,

Li Ergang sitting opposite was baffled.

Why did he feel that the shopkeeper's words sounded a bit off?

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange.

Unable to figure it out, Li Ergang didn't overthink it.

"Is this about money? This is about opportunity!"

Li Ergang refused.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold!"

The shopkeeper slammed the table and made an offer.

"I've said it, what's between the Sect Master and me isn't something that can be measured with money!"

Li Ergang refused again.

"Five hundred thousand taels of gold!"

"I've already said, it's not about the money, and I'm not lacking money! Not to mention mere mortal money."

"In my ancestral home, I have a thousand low-grade spirit stones, I'll give them to you!"

"No way..."

"Let me tell you, don't be too greedy, huh."

"This isn't about the money..."

"..."

Their discussion gradually turned into an argument.

An argument that was extremely heated.

So heated that it brought Chu Yuan down.

It was only Chu Yuan's arrival that put an end to their dispute.

Chu Yuan had initially wanted to hear what they were arguing about.

But the two stubbornly refused to say, claiming instead that it was a dispute over differing views on gourmet food.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan could only concede. He inquired about Ye Luo's situation.

Learning that Ye Luo had already dealt with everything and had left, he planned to take Li Ergang back to the Wayless Sect.

Before leaving, unable to withstand the shopkeeper's persistent nagging,

he gave out the specific address of Wayless Sect, and told the shopkeeper to seek help from Wayless Sect if he ever faced any danger.

In regard to the shopkeeper, Chu Yuan did his best to provide assistance.

Well, in Chu Yuan's mind, once he became an invincible being in the future, of course, he could elevate the shopkeeper.

After sorting everything out,

Chu Yuan had Li Ergang carry the package, and they headed towards the Wayless Sect...
