In the myriad flavor restaurant.
Lin tian's group was welcomed by a waiter.
"Welcome honoured guest ."
"Show us to a empty table "qiang
"Definitely sir allow me guide you "Waiter saw a girl in poor condition walking behind duo .
"You beggar don't disturb our business .we have no food for you get out.if we have leftover food at night .we will distribute it "waiter said with disdain .The warm appearance he had shown before was completely disappeared .instead there was contempt and disdain .
Mingzhu who heard it timidly hide herself behind lin tian .
Steward qiang frowned ."She is with us " he said in deep voice .
The experienced waiter quickly changed his face .
"Sorry miss .I mistook you for a beggar because of your unusual appearance."
"Sorry sir nowadays there are too many homeless refugees and beggars .They always disturb our customer by asking food or money . our business also get impacted so please forgive us ."waiter explained to the male duo .
He had clear idea in his mind .these duo were likely showing kindness by providing this girl food .wait there was another one too likely a boy .He suppressed the displeasure within him and forced out a smile .He led them to the table near window after he took the order from them .he left to bring the food .
Lin tian and steward qiang sat down .while mingzhu stood near lin tian .lin tian had asked her to sit on chair .but she refused by saying how can a slave sit on same level with his master .steward qiang also supported her .so he just let her stand .if your legs get tired you can sit .
Her brother Yan was sleeping on empty chair near lin tian .His head was placed near lin tian.
Lin tian was feeling the strange gazes coming his way . And the people were talking in whispers .
Lin tian didn't know what was strange with mingzhu coming in restaurant.The staff and customers were looking at her as though she was dirty .But mingzhu had clearly maintained basic hygiene and compared to the group he encountered before she didn't smell bad .
Compared to lin tian .steward qiang was able to hear whispers somewhat clearly.
"The standard of this restaurant is so low .they even allow beggars in"
"Darling I wouldn't get some strange disease right "
"This dish has no taste waiter change it ."
"But sir you said before it was most delicious dish you had eaten "
"Shut up that was before "
"You bastard why did you let that beggar in .our customers are displeased with her presence "
"But head those two look from some good family how can I refuse them "
"Go and attend their needs if possible send them out quick "
"I...I will try "
Steward qiang was beaming with helpless rage .But he couldn't direct it to someone.afterall he was mainly angry at lin tian and his childish decision .His young master....well what could be say .1000 words cannot describe his disappointment.But yet as a servant he has to help him .
"Young master have you even thought of something how you will handle the situation.i hope you have thought of something and isn't leaving everything to me "
"Grandpa qiang can I say I haven't thought of anything yet "
Steward qiang grabbed his head again.
"Young master let's escape ." "Huh" "let's ignore those homeless refugees .we can't help them .There is no point in helping them .Besides our priority should be something else and not these homeless refugees .we have nothing to do with them "
"But grandpa qiang we have money we can help "
"Young master No amount of money is enough to help them . currently there are less than 15 people selling themselves .what if there are more .How many people lost their home. Lost everything because of disaster .Even now there are number of refugees increasing within the city ."
"To begin with they might not have intended to sell themselves before .But after you bought her at ridiculous amount .They must have thought it was better to sell themselves .Their miserable situation would take a turn and Their family can live in better condition."steward qiang looked with blaming eyes .'it was all because of you '
Lin tian could only lower his eyes .he hesistated if he should indeed follow steward qiang's advice.was his decision to help others really wrong .
At this time Yan half asleep felt some liquid on his face . He suddenly opened his mouth and bit hard on lin tian's injured hand .Than lintian felt Yan sucking his blood .
"Ahhh "lin tian screamed .
Steward qiang immediately stood up noticing something wrong .He swiped his hand to grab Yan with his strength.However lin tian had no intention to harm Yan .he backed away .pushing the furniture behind him.
"Young master don't save that brat I will teach this brat a lesson ."
Mingzhu was too scared to move and was trembling .
All customers were attracted by the disturbance.all eyes were on them .
"Heh you can't trust these beggars .now they have learned their lesson ."
"Kindness is one thing but keeping defense for safety is another "
"They shouldn't have brought this pests together with them .who knows what kind of crazy disease they have "
"I hope they aren't cannibal right .darling lets leave ."
Waiters were too scared to move . rarely they dealt with customer who could cultivate.This small restaurant was too shabby for cultivators to come.But this one came to their restaurant and he seemed very strong .
"Grandpa he just bit me In sleep .it's nothing big .Its not like I can't handle pain "lin tian explained
"Young master this matter is completely different do not interfere .He needs to be punished ."
"He is just child .forgive him grandpa "
"Young master there should be limit to everything .This child just harmed you .you can't defend him"
"Grandpa he is weak and thin .please don't punish him "lin tian buckeled Yan in his embrace .
"I will remember to keep him alive.you don't have to worry young master "qiang .
mingzhu moved in front of lin tian to protect Yan .
"Yan.....Yan was just hungry please forgive him .he was hungry and thirsty for 2 days .we...we haven't eaten anything for 2 days . please forgive him .He must have thought it was food ."
"That's the most obvious lie I have heard from you slave "qiang .
"Grandpa she is right .it was as she said he is hungary so we have to just give him food .He is child so he doesn't know what to do .Grandpa qiang leave him be "
"Young master you can't help someone by destroying yourself . That's the most foolish thing to do .you have noble identity you can get 1000servants like them .let me deal with this one "steward qiang easily swatted the mingzhu to side and grabbed Yan .
Seeing steward qiang not stopping.lin tian
Had no choice .
"Grandpa qiang I order you to stay your hand . Don't harm Yan "lin tian ordered
"What "steward qiang stopped his raised hand
"As a heir of lin clan .I order you to stop ."lin tian
"Young master do you truly want to do this "
"Yes.Don't harm Yan "lin tian said determined
steward qiang said with visible pain in his eyes .
"It's not grandpa qiang .But elder or steward qiang .you shouldn't call me grandpa . That's is not the way to call a servant "qiang .
"Gran.....grandpa "lin tian was shaken within
"It's steward qiang .young master please correct yourself "steward qiang said and sat down calmly.
Lin tian Observed steward qiang seeing no reaction he released Yan .The child immediately started crying .however with blood on his mouth .The image of child crying was horrible .
Mingzhu got herself up.After checking carefully Yan was'nt harmed .she kneeled and started crying .
"Thanks for saving yan master .Thanks for forgiving him ."she repeatedly thanked lin tian and kowtowed .
Lin tian was feeling worse from inside .he told her to get up . however in emotional state perhaps she didn't hear .she kept thanking lin tian .
"Go and sit at that empty table . don't you hear me "he said angrily
Only than mingzhu together with Yan moved to further table in the corner .lin tian tried to bandage himself but he failed .in the end steward qiang had to help him bandage .
"Grandpa..."
"Waiter Why is the meal not here . does servant can't even eat a meal "
"Grandpa "
"This servant can't wait for long .hurry up waiter ."
Waiter quickly moved himself bringing the dishes they had ordered .
Mingzhu and Yan were also served dishes .They looked at lin tian as though they were looking at monster .
The old man was strong but he had to listen to the young one .This was probably what they call 'expert with child like appearance '.
After old qiang released his aura .there was silence in the whole restaurant.Near the counter all waiter waited for the experts command.
Lin tian was already done eating but
Steward qiang was slowly eating the dishes.
"Elder qiang I am sorry .And I am sorry for bringing this up but how can I help them.All I have is money and I want to make better use of it by helping them "
"If I can't even help them I think there wouldn't be any point of my status .my existe....."
"No amount of money would be enough . Unless the disaster passes the number of refugees will continue to increase. We will never have enough money for everyone.either we have to make it so they don't sell themselves or only those who are in most desperate situation sell themselves."
"Among those refugees I am sure there would be some people who only lost their land but have valuable belongings left They are only waiting for disaster to pass .They only have to survive for some days and their situation would become better "
"Because you spent 30 goins to buy slave .some of those refugees/beggars have turned greedy .They have never seen gold coins in their life .For them it's great opportunity to change their fate or let their family become rich .we will have to differentiate between them "Elder qiang calmly analyzed the situation.
"Than we will categorised them "lin tian
"But how to categorise them "elder qiang
Looking at dishes before them .lin tian had an idea ."Waiter come here"
"Ye..yes honoured expert what instructions do you have "
"A month's food how much will cost for 3 meals a day "lin tian
"For you experts it's free completely free "
"Just answer the question.we have money " elder qiang
"Of..ofcourse for a cheapest meals it's 5 bronze coins so for a month 525 .our highest quality meal costs 1 silver coin for 1 serving
So 105 silver coins ."waiter replied
" Most villagers only eats 2times a day .it should be fine if they get to eat their fill .Choosing cheapest should be fine .They are looking to survive and not for a taste "elder qiang suggested
Waiter had no idea what were they talking about but he kept answering whatever they asked .For example what is the cheapest inn can cost .or how much money will cost for 100 people's meal .how much for 100 meter cotton cloth .or the price of cheapest furniture.or a place that can give shelter to more than hundred 100 people.
"Umo... I am sorry to disturb you .But by any chance you are looking for residence that can house more than 100 people .if so I have suggestion."waiter said
