Chapter 388: Are you cosplaying me?

After Moffett finished explaining, Liang Yu’s expression improved significantly.

As for why the Qi family wanted to see him, he had a rough guess.

It was nothing more than their fear that West Sand City had changed owners, and that he intended to act against them. They wanted to negotiate, offering him tempting benefits in exchange for his protection of their Qi family.

Originally, Liang Yu had planned to flatly refuse them, but at the moment he opened his mouth, he changed his mind.

He simply gave Moffett one word:

Wait!

He would notify them when he had free time.

Although Moffett had a slight dissatisfaction with Liang Yu’s decision, he said nothing, only nodding mechanically.

At this point, Liang Yu no longer asked Moffett if he had anything else to deal with. He specifically pulled him to the restaurant where General Jin’s son was killed that day, leading him to his exclusive Qingping room.

Although Moffett had heard rumors about what happened here, he didn’t understand Liang Yu’s purpose in bringing him here, so his mind raced.

In contrast, Liang Yu looked curious. This restaurant, despite such a major incident, was still operating normally, which suggested it truly had a strong backing.

Before long, the restaurant’s manager arrived at the private room, entering with a fawning expression.

Liang Yu didn’t need to guess what was happening; the manager clearly recognized the Young City Lord beside him and wanted to curry favor.

The result was that for several minutes after these two entered, it was all mutual flattery, which made Liang Yu want to curse. He just wanted to have a good meal.

Moffett also noticed Liang Yu’s expression and immediately stopped the mutual flattery. The manager, being perceptive, quickly said he still had accounts to settle and left.

Watching the manager leave so briskly, Liang Yu almost decided to pull him back, then looked at Moffett.

“Liang Shu (Uncle Liang), I haven’t even ordered yet. What are we going to eat later?”

Moffett, instead, began to explain to Liang Yu that since someone had recognized them, they didn’t need to order. The manager would arrange the dishes.

Sure enough, not long after, exquisite dishes were brought up one after another.

Liang Yu looked at the dishes; they were all extremely rare ingredients. It seemed the manager was very willing to spend money to curry favor with this convenient ’nephew'.

Liang Yu had just picked up his chopsticks and tasted a bite when he suddenly frowned slightly, then quietly used a medical pack on himself.

Moffett had been watching Liang Yu the whole time. When he noticed a change in his expression, he thought it was a problem with the food not suiting his taste and quickly asked what was wrong. Liang Yu whispered,

“There’s something strange about this dish; it seems to be poisoned.”

Moffett was startled and was about to call his guards over, but Liang Yu stopped him.

“It’s no use. Your guards have probably already been dealt with.”

“Let’s first see what they intend to do.”

After instructing Mo Feite not to touch the food, Liang Yu continued to pretend to eat as if nothing was wrong.

Soon after, Liang Yu ‘felt’ a slight dizziness, and then his entire body fell from the chair.

Just then, Moffett also cooperatively slumped onto the table.

Not long after the two fell, no other sounds could be heard in the private room. Then, the private room door was pushed open, and the manager entered with several people dressed in Black-robed Man attire.

Pointing at Liang Yu on the ground, the manager said,

“Hall Master, this is the person who ruined our plan.”

The manager’s face was now filled with an incredibly fawning smile as he looked at the Black-robed Man leader.

Liang Yu, lying on the ground, was extremely puzzled. What exactly had he done for the other party to want to kill him?

Moreover, the other party actually knew his identity, which meant there was likely a problem within the City Lord’s Mansion. He would have to have Mo Feite convey a message back later to thoroughly investigate the City Lord’s Mansion.

Just then, the Black-robed Man spoke.

“To prevent them from not being completely dead, someone go and finish them both off.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him drew a weapon and walked towards Liang Yu and Moffett.

At this moment, Liang Yu’s ‘corpse’ suddenly stood up, looking at the few people in front of him and the restaurant manager. A uniquely shaped long sword had appeared in his hand at some point.

He swung his sword at the few people, and a blue sword energy was unleashed. At the same time, Liang Yu’s voice followed closely.

“I originally thought you were my fans when I saw you cosplaying me, but it doesn’t seem to be the case now.”

“No fan wants to kill the person they admire.”

However, the leading Black-robed Man was not surprised by Liang Yu’s ‘resurrection’. As Liang Yu unleashed his sword energy, he also sent out a palm wind to meet it.

The two forces converged in the air, creating violent fluctuations. The surrounding tables and chairs instantly turned to dust.

Liang Yu frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected this Black-robed Man to have such combat power.

Mo Feite had already gotten up when Liang Yu swung his sword, but when he saw Liang Yu’s and the Black-robed Man’s sword energy and palm wind collide, he knew he couldn’t intervene and could only pray that the nearby patrol army would arrive quickly.

After the two exchanged a blow, the Black-robed Man’s attitude actually changed. He no longer insisted on killing Liang Yu there; instead, he directly ordered a retreat.

The manager, who was allied with them, was also taken away by this group of Black-robed Men. Liang Yu did not pursue them, nor did he continue his attack.

He would remember this grudge and settle it with them slowly later.

After all, West Sand City was considered his territory, and he had to take care of the people nearby. If the two of them fought, this entire surrounding area would be ruined.

So, he let these people leave.

Mo Feite, on the side, still wanted to tell Liang Yu to keep them, but just as he was about to speak, an iron token was directly thrown at him, whether intentionally or not.

After the token reached Liang Yu, the Black-robed Man leader told Liang Yu,

If he had any thoughts of joining them, he should take the token to other nearby cities, and someone would naturally guide him there.

Liang Yu discovered that such a good thing actually existed, and he didn’t care about the extent of his convenient ’nephew’s’ injuries. He picked up the token and began to play with it in his hand.

He hadn’t known how to find the other party, but he didn’t expect that when he was sleepy, a kind person on the other side would send him a pillow; it was truly considerate.

Liang Yu held the token and examined it carefully. It was engraved with some strange symbols that looked unusually familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

He had his glasses scan the symbols and analyze them for comparison. The result surprised Liang Yu.

The symbols on the token were actually tadpole script, and they were not the content he had copied from the Zen Sect. It seemed very necessary to go there and find some Black-robed Men.

Moffett looked at Liang Yu like this and shook his head helplessly.

“Liang Shu (Uncle Liang). Are you really planning to go find them?”
