Chapter 97: Dinner Together, the Charming Pair of Two Ladies
Upon hearing Lin Yan's reply, the smile on Xuan Su's face became even more pronounced.
Her eyes formed crescent moons as she smiled, and her delicate red lips revealed snow-white teeth, making her quite eye-catching.
Then, Xuan Su, with her charming demeanor, glanced at Lin Yan and said with a smile:
"Mr. Lin Yan, you really know how to speak. Your words are as sweet as honey."
"It's really comforting to hear."
Lin Yan asked with a smile, "So, Manager Su, when are you available?"
Xuan Su took a few steps closer, smiling at Lin Yan, and said, "Tonight."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan readily agreed.
"Alright, then let's not be late."
Lin Yan soon left Wanjin Auction House.
Since he knew Xuan Su was still in work mode, he didn't want to disturb her unnecessarily after finishing his business.
In the evening, Lin Yan went to the agreed-upon location.
Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan hadn't made Lin Yan wait. When Lin Yan arrived, he saw the two ladies dressed in gorgeous dresses, showing off their slender legs, waiting for him.
Passersby couldn't help but cast admiring glances at the two ladies. After all, they were both exceptionally beautiful and held high status in Flame City. Their presence together naturally attracted attention.
Lin Yan quickly approached them and apologized, "I'm sorry, Manager Su, Miss Xia, for being late."
Xuan Su smiled and shook her head upon hearing this, while Xia Zhilan also gently shook her head and said, "No need to apologize, Mr. Lin Yan. We just arrived ourselves."
After a brief greeting, they entered the pre-arranged restaurant and headed to the private rooms.
On the way, Xuan Su introduced Lin Yan to the local customs of Flame City and the specialties of the restaurant.
Xia Zhilan spoke less but didn't treat Lin Yan as coldly as she did others. She simply spoke less, but occasionally inserted a few words, with a gentle tone.
Thus, as they walked and talked, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Their arrival also drew the attention of many diners in the restaurant.
Since Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan entered with Lin Yan, people noticed them. Seeing the intimate interaction between Lin Yan and the two ladies, many diners felt amazed. They envied Lin Yan for receiving such attention from Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan, both renowned beauties in Flame City.
However, they couldn't discern Lin Yan's identity, but they all admired the treatment he received.
Lin Yan paid no attention to their discussions.
After entering the private room, he remarked to Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan, "It seems that Manager Su and Miss Xia are goddesses in Flame City. I heard countless people discussing you both as soon as we entered the restaurant."
Xuan Su smiled wryly and shook her head, "It's just a reputation. I hope it doesn't trouble Mr. Lin Yan."
Lin Yan smiled and shook his head, "No trouble at all. It's my honor to have dinner with you both."
Xuan Su chuckled at Lin Yan's words, "Mr. Lin Yan, I'm starting to really enjoy listening to you talk."
"You always manage to brighten my mood."
She then smiled at Lin Yan and continued, "Actually, Mr. Lin Yan, I have another request."
Lin Yan replied with a smile, "Manager Su, please go ahead."
Xuan Su said to Lin Yan, "Actually, I feel like we're a bit too formal. You've been calling me Manager Su, and I've been calling you Mr. Lin Yan. It feels a bit distant."
"If Mr. Lin Yan is willing, you can just call me sister from now on, and I'd like to call you little brother."
Lin Yan readily agreed, "Sure, Sister Su, I'll be presumptuous then."
Xuan Su was delighted to hear Lin Yan address her as Sister Su.
She quickly said to Lin Yan, "Little Brother Lin Yan, it sounds so nice when you call me sister."
"You and Zhilan can also address each other as siblings. After all, she's probably a bit younger than you."
Lin Yan smiled and looked at Xia Zhilan.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhilan smiled gently and somewhat shyly called out, "Big Brother Lin Yan."
There wasn't much pretense, but her shy and awkward demeanor added a touch of cuteness to Xia Zhilan.
The waiter soon brought the food.
Lin Yan, Xuan Su, and Xia Zhilan ate and chatted, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
They talked about many interesting things, and Lin Yan mentioned Lin Dong during the conversation. He had originally intended to bring Lin Dong along, but he didn't want to disturb Lin Dong's recent crucial cultivation.
Xuan Su didn't mind and arranged to invite Lin Dong next time.
"I believe Lin Dong will be happy to join us."
Lin Yan naturally agreed with a smile.
After dinner, they parted ways.
Lin Yan went straight back to the inn where he and Lin Dong were staying, while Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan headed to Wanjin Auction House.
On the way, they discussed Lin Yan. Their interaction with him gave them a deeper understanding of him.
"Zhilan, what do you think of Lin Yan?"
With a smile, Xuan Su asked Xia Zhilan.
"He's talented, knowledgeable, and has a good personality. Overall, he's very worth befriending."
Xia Zhilan thought for a moment and gave her reply.
Xuan Su nodded in agreement, "He's indeed a good young man."
However, she couldn't help but smile mischievously at Xia Zhilan, "But this is the first time I've seen you speak so highly of someone."
"Considering your similar ages..."
Xia Zhilan blushed and glared at Xuan Su, saying, "Aunt Su, you're teasing me again. We've just met. What are you thinking?"
Xuan Su just chuckled, "Everyone starts from getting to know each other, don't they?"
Blushing and annoyed, Xia Zhilan left first, saying, "I'm ignoring you!"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Lin Yan returned to the inn and rested.
The next morning, he woke up and immediately woke up Lin Dong.
In fact, Xuan Su had already arranged everything for him during dinner last night.
She found a villa not far from Flame City with a waterfall. Xuan Su directly lent the villa to Lin Yan.
So, in the following days, Lin Yan planned to go there for cultivation.
At this moment.
Lin Yan had already arrived at the villa.
Xuan Su had already arranged everything in advance, so Lin Yan could start his cultivation as soon as he arrived.
"Elder Medicine, I've found the place for cultivation."
"Can we start practicing the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler now?"
Standing in front of the waterfall, Lin Yan communicated with Elder Medicine.
With the Heavy Xuan Ruler in hand, he mentally spoke to Elder Medicine.
