<h4>Chapter 457 - The Restaurant''s Peculiarity </h4>


    Lin Mu looked around the floor to see if there was anyone else that was strong or influential here. It didn’t take him long to realize that nearly everyone on this floor was a core condensation realm cultivator.


    ’The clerk said something about the floors being different, didn’t she?’ Lin Mu thought and looked at her, but then realized another thing.


    ’Wait, what’s her name?’ Lin Mu wondered.


    "I just remembered I never asked your name. What is it?" Lin Mu questioned.


    The female clerk was a bit started by his question and even she realized that never had he asked her for a name and had just been speaking directly. In fact, now that she thought of it, he had not asked anyone for their names.


    "My name is Tongguo Bing." She answered.


    "Tongguo? That’s a rather rare surname. I don’t think I’ve met anyone that had that surname before." Lin Mu replied.


    "Hehe~ Yes senior, my surname is indeed rather umon. Even I haven’t met anyone that had the same surname except for my father." Tongguo Bing said.


    "I see... oh yeah, tell me more about this restaurant. I saw that they have different floors for different people, what’s that about?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Oh, that? The restaurant basically gives different privileges to cultivators depending on their cultivation base.


    Themoners and normal warriors usually sit on the first floor, while some weak cultivators may also join them there. Cultivators that are in thete stage Qi refining realm to peak stage can sit on the second floor.


    Then cultivators who are at the early stage of the core condensation realm to mid stage can sit at the third floor. Then here at the fourth floor, only those that have ate to peak stage core condensation realm cultivation base can stay." Tongguo Bing answered.


    "I see. But what about the top floor? There’s a fifth floor too, right?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "The fifth floor is a bit special in that it is reserved for the Royalty or if it so happened a Nascent Soul realm cultivator." Tongguo Bing replied.


    "Has any royal ever visited here? Or even a Nascent Soul realm cultivator?" Lin Mu asked curiously.


    "Not recently, but it does happen sometimes. Thest time was about a year ago, I think. Umm... it was the prince that visited the restaurant with some of the other young masters of the influential ns, if I remember correctly." Tongguo Bing replied.


    "So royalty, huh? Does that mean the son of a Minister will also be qualified to sit on the fifth floor?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "Of course. Being the son of a minister does make them royalty, though not blood rted." Tongguo Bing replied.


    "I understand." Lin Mu said before his perception moved back to Wu Hei.

    ’Why would Wu Hei sit here if he could be on the fifth floor and have more privacy? It couldn’t be because of hispanions though, as it seems like it only takes one person to fulfill the condition to let theirpanions join them. If it was not like that, the restaurant wouldn’t make sense.’ Lin Mu thought.


    Now that Lin Mu thought about it, Wu Hei’s actions seemed to be much strange than before. He didn’t know if it was due to him being controlled or something else, but a smart man wouldn’t make a mistake like this.


    If he bothered to set up a sound isting formation, then they may have as well sat at the fifth floor that was definitely empty.


    "You should probably observe him for longer, as even I’m feeling it to be strange. Perhaps after they deactivate the istion formation, you can check him with your spirit sense better." Xukong suggested.


    "Yes senior." And just as Lin Mu responded, the waiter had returned.


    But this time, he was not alone and was apanied by six more waiters. The rest of the people sitting on the floor couldn’t help but look at the number of dishes that were being carried by the waiters. Each of them was carrying arge tray that had multiple tes and bowls of dishes ced on them.


    This would not have been unusual if the waiters were going to different tables, but in this case, they were all going to the same table, which only had two people sitting on it. No matter how they looked at it, the amount of food was simply too much.


    Tongguo Bing also noticed the gazes of the people being directed towards them and felt a bit embarrassed. Lin Mu on the other hand, was feeling amazed by the aroma of the dishes, so much so that his mouth couldn’t help but water.


    ’Oh no, don’t start right now.’ Lin Mu said to himself as he could feel a rumble in his stomach.


    He didn’t want the nameless technique to suddenly activate in a full blown manner here, as that would mean he would pretty much eat like a beast.


    "Here are your dishes sir, as for the rest of your orders, just gesture to us and we will bring them as well." The waiter said, after covering the entire table with the tters.


    "Okay, I’ll do that." Lin Mu said before starting his meal.


    What happened next could only be described as bizarre. Tongguo Bing and the rest of the people on the floor that were watching Lin Mu eat were left dumbfounded. It had not even been five minutes before all of the dishes on the table had been swiped clean.


    Tongguo Bing on the other hand couldn’t even begin to fathom how something like this could be possible. She was so shocked that she hadn’t even touched the food she had ordered.


    "Wh-what? What kind of a man is that? How is he even eating that much food?" Someone on the floor questioned in a low voice.


    They knew speaking out loud would be rude and no one on this floor was someone they could afford to offend willy-nilly.


    It was now that even Wu Hei and hispanions, who were keeping to themselves, noticed Lin Mu.
