Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

He hurriedly went forward. Although he had a smile on his face, his tone was pleading. “Miss, why are you here today?”

Kong Rui looked at the waiter in amusement. “I’m here to drink tea. What else do you think I’m here for?”

The waiter held back the words he was about to say and said with a smile, “Please come in!”

!!

Kong Rui glanced in the direction of the hall and asked, “Why are there so few guests today?”

The waiter smiled helplessly. “Ever since you came that day, Tianxiang Restaurant’s business has really…”

The waiter didn’t finish his sentence, but Kong Rui could sense the waiter’s resentment.

She shrugged and pretended not to notice it. Then, she hurried into the hall and randomly found a seat.

When Kong Rui glanced in the direction of the private room, she realized that it was unusually quiet today.

This was really a little abnormal.

Even if she “revealed” that Tianxiang Restaurant sold inferior quality goods, it couldn’t have become like this overnight.

After all, it had been established for decades. How could it fall to such a state just because of her words?

There was probably another reason behind this!

After Kong Rui instructed the waiter to prepare a pot of tea, she looked around and saw that most of the guests at the surrounding tables were dressed like merchants, but there were few descendants of prominent clans.

Kong Rui drank her tea as she listened to the people around her chatting.

Unlike a few days ago, no one seemed to be discussing the various clans in the teahouse today, and no one dared to mention the queen.

Kong Rui felt bored and was about to leave when she saw five or six people appear at the entrance of the teahouse.

These people were dressed differently from most of the clansmen in the capital. They were dressed in animal skin and looked like foreigners.

The woman in the lead was wearing a beast skin that covered only a third of her body, but her sharp gaze made everyone present dare not to stare at her.

Behind her, there was a little girl with two buns. Her big black eyes sized up the group of people in front of her excitedly.

Three tall burly men in animal hides stood at the back. Their dark skin made them look even more ferocious.

Beside them, there stood an old man in a gray robe.

Although the old man’s clothes were different from theirs, it was obvious that he was with them.

When the group of people appeared at the door, they immediately attracted the attention of the people in the teahouse.

The waiter immediately noticed these guests and hurriedly went up to them to ask, “Would you guys like some tea? Please come in!”

The woman in the lead took a step forward and followed the waiter to a corner of the hall.

The woman sat down first, while the little girl looked around curiously before she sat down as well.

The three burly men stood behind the two of them, as if they had no intention of sitting down.

The old man stood beside the woman until the woman gestured for him to sit down.

The waiter immediately went forward and asked what they wanted to drink. The old man seemed to be a regular customer. He ordered a pot of Tianxiang Restaurant’s signature tea and a few plates of snacks before shooing the waiter away.

Seeing this, the people in the teahouse whispered to each other as they discussed the origins of this group of people.

Although Kong Rui couldn’t recognize those people in animal skins, she recognized the old man’s outfit.

However…

Kong Rui sized up the old man, She was certain that he was indeed wearing the usual attire of the Profound Heaven Sect, but she was also very sure that she had never seen this person before.

The old man didn’t notice Kong Rui’s gaze, since his attention was on the woman in the beast skin clothes.

The old man muttered something to the woman.

The woman frowned from time to time, but looked satisfied at other times.
